Daedalus Project
Chapter 304:Daedalus Project
"In short, such a simple and rude program is much more achievable than controlled nuclear fusion!"
A scientist in the front of the squirted and was trying to convince Yifeng to Yifeng.A group of people in the back kept talking, and from time to time they jumped out to point out a few words.
The whole office is like a food market.
In the face of a group of fanatical scientists, Yu Yifeng touched the sweat on his forehead, and some eggs said in pain: "Eat this million tons of equivalent ... detonation...delayed, how big is the reactor?"
Limited by the limitations of nuclear bomb raw materials, a small hydrogen bomb is impossible.Only hydrogen or deuterium can be widely used in large areas, but this nuclear bomb cannot be put down in the same amount, and one million tons is the smallest.
“And our home or Noah... can’t always dig holes in the Knicks?”Even if you dig a hole in the ground, a nuclear bomb that explodes in such a high amount will cause an earthquake.What if I find another one?Keep digging?”
How does electricity pass?Do we want humans to abandon Noah and live on the surface?That's impossible!"
The expert immediately said, "We believe that building a long-term and reliable super-large reactor is necessary and can be built directly outside Noah."
“The size of the reactor ... is calculated in detail.”
“Yes, it is necessary!”Professor Ding Yidong shouted at the back: "The bigger the better, the stronger the better!"
In this way, it has been discussed for more than an hour, in a "big" and "strong" voice, these crazy scientists left, leaving this choice puzzle to Yi Feng.
They just gave an idea, and how to achieve it in the future, it had to be calculated in detail and simulated.In any case, there are super-computing quantum computers that can be very realistically simulated, and they will implement this plan thoroughly as soon as possible to see if it is feasible!
Yu Yifeng shook his head and regained his calmness, carefully combing through the various messages he had just heard.
Such a nuclear explosion reactor, of course, does not mean that it is so simple...
Nuclear bombs are, after all, nuclear bombs, how easy is it to talk about if you want to tie this beast?
Such things as steel and cement, in the face of a powerful nuclear bomb, are still not enough to see, especially the need to face the long-term...
“Millions of tons is too big...”
The heat brought by nuclear radiation is too high, and part of the furnace wall can be melted in minutes, if each explosion melts some furnace walls, accumulates all year round, even if it does not explode the furnace, it can not generate electricity.
In order to solve this problem, the simplest way is to add some obstructive gas to the inside of the reactor, so that the volume of the reactor is greater than the killing radius of the nuclear bomb!
In this way, the nuclear explosion does not blow up the reactor wall, which is equivalent to all the energy being swallowed.After the nuclear bomb explodes, the temperature in the most marginal areas is lower than the melting point of the furnace wall, so the walls do not melt.
"That's a good program."Yu Yifeng secretly pondered, "with super-large engineering to reduce the difficulty ... can also have some magnetic fields as a shield."
These internal gas can absorb the radiation energy generated by the nuclear bomb, and then convert it into high-temperature plasma.
The plasma is also given a high kinetic energy by the nuclear bomb, which spontaneously ejects from the furnace mouth and generates electricity directly through the corresponding magnetic fluid generator.
In addition, the high temperature waste heat in the gas can also be used to generate electricity by the heat engine to maximize the utilization rate of energy.
These technologies are more mature.
There is also the problem of nuclear ignition, these "spherical" construction of nuclear bombs need laser ignition ... so can use some fiber optic materials, conduct laser?
Just blowing up some fiber doesn’t have to cost too much... otherwise, every time a laser-illuminated device is too expensive.
If these measures are achieved, the reactor can run steadily for a long time.
“The idea is very beautiful...” Yu Yi Feng couldn’t help but smile, and then he immediately frowned.
However, the amount of work...
The work!
Yu Feng's heart has been vaguely prepared, a million tons of equivalent nuclear bombs, placed on the earth, just the kill radius has 7 kilometers!So the diameter of the reactor, coupled with a thick furnace wall and complex power generation facilities, is definitely greater than seven kilometers!More than 10 miles!
This amount of engineering is absolutely perverted and terrible, the diameter of the big boiler of ten kilometers, this fucking ... has greatly surpassed Mount Everest!
A stove taller than Mount Everest!
It was so easy to estimate for a while, and Yu Yifeng trembled a little.
After scolding hard in the bottom of his heart, Yu Yifeng suddenly found that ... Professor Ding Yidong also left a report on the table.
He picked it up and looked at it, and the page had written only six big characters, Project Daedaros!
This is a nuclear fusion promotion program that has been proposed in the last century.
This project is not exploding a nuclear bomb on the outside, like the Orion project, but inside...it is also a reactor!
The internal ions are then bound by the magnetic field, which is ejected as power.
Professor Ding Yidong wrote above: "The core bomb composed of detonation and helium-3 will detonate 250 times per second, and the plasma will be discharged directly from the rocket through a magnetic field, which will generate thrust.As a two-stage rocket, this will accelerate the spacecraft to 12% of the speed of light!”
Yes, 12% of the speed of light!
This method of internal explosion will be more efficient than the Orion plan, because most of the explosive energy of the atomic bomb is not projected onto the hull to convert it into power.
Of course, the Daedalus plan is also more difficult, and there is a lot of room for improvement.However, at that time, scientists did seem to have a certain degree of feasibility.
"This plan was proposed in the 1970s, more brutal than Orion, and the only sub-speed of light spacecraft that is possible to achieve!"Of course, because the requirements are beyond imagination, it cannot be realized.”
"Human nature, when gradually lost ambition, gradually immersed in their own beautiful world?" 」All the brain holes are a product of the last century. . . .
In the face of this real case, Yu Yifeng had to lament.
Reality is more sci-fi than science fiction, living in reality of the human beings, lurking unconscious great power, the key is a burning heart!
After the Cold War, our passions cooled, we became more realistic, and our thinking was no longer spectacular.
I don't know if it's right or wrong...
It is worth remembering... always a great dream like the one we once had.
We are not guardians...we are explorers, pioneers!
Our dreams have not disappeared.
He saw the meaning of Professor Ding Yidong, or the great dream of the great group of scientists.
The "Dedalus Plan" and "Nuclear bomb blast power generation" have the same work, and even ... both can be carried out at the same time!After the explosion of a nuclear bomb in the furnace chamber, the high-temperature plasma that explodes can be used for both propulsion and power generation.
That is to say, such a nuclear fusion reactor is itself a spacecraft's driving engine!
This group of scientists is even more crazy than Yi Feng imagined, and they want to solve the two major problems of "nuclear fusion" and "spaceship" together, through a reactor!
It seems... really good.
Yi Feng smiled slightly in his heart: “Is this the most brutal version of interstellar civilization?”
