1.8 trillion yuan, this is really a lot of money, and at that time the global GDP is about 120 trillion!

Almost all the consortia, banks, governments, and the rich have participated in this “gambling” campaign.

If they do succeed, they can get great benefits, so these consortia are willing to bet on that.

And a large number of aspirants are also ambitiously involved in this operation, willing to contribute their own wisdom.

The sage had really done his best, he had used up all the resources he had accumulated throughout his life, and had gambled on his almost perfect reputation, and the government’s support for it had reached its limit.

It must be said that after the basic disciplines of physics of the Knicks civilization almost stagnated, biology flourished.

The later generations of sages have almost eliminated various diseases and made the medical system unprecedentedly developed.

There are even some life-growth technologies, such as organ cloning technology, free radical longevity agents, etc., which have greatly extended the life of the Knicks.Baxter, the inventor of the free radical longevity agent, created great value for this patent alone.

After all, long life is something that everyone desires and is the most economical, and every Knicks will pay for longevity.

Therefore, this research is the least lacking for investment, and the research and development speed is the fastest.

At that time, the average life expectancy of the Knicks had increased to 150 years!

But this is only the average life, the oldest, well-maintained has been more than two hundred years old!

It is precisely because of this that the annual birth rate of the whole planet is getting lower and lower, the population growth is still advancing by leaps and bounds, because the mortality rate is lower!

This growth in life is good or bad, who knows?

In the process of increasing entropy, a civilization will always have heroes, trying to slow its entropy.Baxter is undoubtedly a hero, he sold his valuable shares in the biological company, from biology to nuclear physics, and began a new scientific research career.

At that time, he was 90 years old!

Controlled thermonuclear fusion is essentially an engineering project, there are technical difficulties, "look" there is no insurmountable theoretical blind spot.Therefore, under the premise of having high-level technical personnel, the Knicks believe that smashing with money can greatly accelerate progress and improve the success rate.

But the problems in the world, money can not be solved all.

The last saviors of this group of Knicks civilization soon suffered.

They first use the most mature and most studied magnetic constraints, that is, the "tokamak" device.

It is reasonable to say that this thing has been studied by the ancestors for 700 years.For such a long time, even a group of pigs, even in the case of insufficient funds, can also study some things.

A group of smart Knicks gathered together to discuss the 1.8 trillion, which, although it seemed like a lot, would have to be spent on the blade.

In fact, scientific research is burning money, burning and burning is gone, they must find a suitable direction.

In the "magnetic constraint" idea, there are three technical difficulties of controlled nuclear fusion:

First, the energy output is greater than the energy input, that is, the triple product is high enough.

Second, the first wall material can withstand thermal shock, 14mev neutron irradiation, hydrogen helium ion damage for a long time.

Third, the cost of tritium production is extremely high, and tritium must be self-sustaining (recycling).

The "Tokamak" device in the process of the previous human experiment, really solved some problems, more than the earth people's exploration, can be lit for a few minutes, the output is also about input.But ... not far from official power generation is not enough!

Formal power generation, need to be stable, long-term stability, need at least a few months of stability, not to say that a few hours, a few days is enough!

So, the whole completion degree, that is, in the progress bar of 100, completes 1% or 2%, and ... will go backwards at any time.

Really pay attention to this project, nuclear fusion really makes people complain.

The final result is like a radishes hanging in front of a donkey, dans off in front of your eyes, as if you can get there one step forward... but you can't eat it!

The main idea of tokamak is to use the external magnetic field to be coupled with the magnetic field generated by the plasma current.

If the plasma is unstable, the system could collapse, causing the instrument to be scrapped.

The instrument is scrapped, which is equivalent to burning tens of billions of dollars.

So, can the plasma be stabilized?

The answer is... it’s hard!

Ultra-high temperature (more than 10 million degrees), coupled with the control of large current (more than one million amperes) is painstaking, there is no sufficiently stable material and technology.

Coupled with the phenomenon of turbulence characteristic of plasma, the essence is a chaotic problem, which is a mountain that can not be attacked physically for hundreds of years, and can only be forcibly fitted with a quantum computer.But the fit is also just a fit, and there is no exact solution.

Baxter and others, after trying for a while, scalp tingled and felt the thorny problem for the first time...

This thing will be scrapped with use, what to do?

What the ancestors could not do for hundreds of years must have its infeasibility and great difficulty.

Time is running out, and it is difficult for them to conquer in just a few decades, so change one: a star-like instrument!

Or... tokamak and the stellarator at the same time, anyway with money!

There are technicians too!

Multiple projects at the same time!Which one succeeds?

The star is another nuclear fusion device design, the internal plasma current is too violent, troublesome, too difficult to control, directly do not!

Scientists have tried to create closed twisted ring magnets through externally complex coils.

That is, the difficulty of controlling the plasma current is transferred to the design and processing difficulty of the three-dimensional magnetic field and coil.

The entire "star-like" device is like a mess, and the processing process is extremely complicated.

This year, the news about nuclear fusion has gradually precipitated, and no one cares anymore... The ordinary people of the Knicks star are still singing and dancing, and ease and enjoyment continue to become mainstream, which has been the norm for hundreds of years.

Something interesting happened this year, please.The accident of a famous show star caused tens of thousands of people to watch.This behavior caused a major traffic paralysis, and even affected the ambulance, which is a rare big news...

The Knicks have been in a dogfight on the Internet, and they have expressed sympathy or yin and yang fascination.

There are also some online public awareness calls to be ethical and so on...

They do not know that the last saviors of the world are killing red eyes in the laboratory.

This group of the smartest Knicks scientists, confused and panicked, face this "big filter" insurmountable "cosmic scale"...

All the work has encountered almost insurmountable difficulties...

Turbulence problems can be forced to fit with quantum computers; radiation material problems, need to be replaced regularly...

It seems that many problems have been solved reluctantly, but Lin Lin always adds up and still can not generate electricity ... there are still too many problems, some almost unsolmizable.

The sage Baxter, the Knicks with an IQ of more than 220, learned the frontiers of nuclear physics in just three years, but it could not conquer this majestic mountain.

Its temper grew, the people under its opponents became more and more harsh, and it accumulated itself for many years to fight until late at night, but ... it was fruitless.

These scientists feel like a mountain climbing activity.The goal seems to be close.When they reached one mountain after another, they suddenly encountered a cliff.

At this time, they were exhausted, and then they found that their target was only a mirage.

They are on the wrong track, they are on the wrong track!

It was the true great shore, eighteen hundred and eighty billion dollars, decades of time, that only proved the wrong one path.

Nothing was done as a result.

The heads of departments changed several batches, and the money quickly burned, and they faced the complaints and doubts of the whole world.
