Chapter 568 This is not my only plan
This feeling is like stepping on the accelerator a million times , but only successfully accelerating a few times. It cannot be used as a stable energy source at all.
Even though each time you refuel, a considerable amount of energy is consumed, such unstable energy is difficult to utilize.
Especially for weapons like aerospace fighters, which have very strict requirements on stability, it is impossible to be equipped with such uncertain power energy.
If there is an extremely small probability of nuclear fusion occurring, then even if an aerospace fighter is built, it will often face the problem of insufficient power.
At this time, Xu You had some new ideas.
"If we can appropriately increase the conditions for controlled nuclear fusion, and increase the probability of controlled nuclear fusion, then from a macroscopic perspective, nuclear power plants can continue to work."
This feeling is like repeating a large number of low-probability events. The probability of these low-probability events occurring will become infinitely close to one.
Of course, in reality, the probability of a low-probability event occurring should be as large as possible, and the number of times it occurs should be as large as possible.
As long as a balance can be formed between the two, it will be possible to achieve Xu You's ideal.
"No, it is not necessary to strictly carry out cold nuclear fusion, as long as the temperature is not too high. The space inside the aerospace fighter can withstand a certain high temperature."
Thinking of this, Xu You connected to the quantum computer again and performed a simulation in his brain.
This time, Xu You needs to find the critical conditions that will make nuclear fusion occur on a macro scale, and verify whether such a device can be installed in an aerospace fighter.
"Three thousand eight hundred degrees Celsius... Under such conditions, nuclear fusion is almost inevitable on a macro scale."
After some complicated simulations, Xu You finally came to a preliminary conclusion.
At this temperature, it no longer meets the requirements of cold nuclear fusion.
Because cold nuclear fusion requires that nuclear fusion can occur at room temperature or lower temperature, the temperature at which nuclear fusion occurs should not exceed 1000K.
But like room-temperature superconductivity, this is a task that may never be accomplished.
As long as this condition can be solved, it will be a huge breakthrough.
"For modern fighter jets, the maximum internal temperature reaches 2,000 degrees Celsius, which is almost the limit. 3,800 degrees Celsius is indeed a big test for small and medium-sized aircraft."
If you have more space, heat dissipation is not a problem.
However, the size of aerospace fighters has been strictly limited. In order to withstand such high temperatures, extremely high-temperature resistant materials are required.
Of course, such problems are not unsolvable.
As early as when Xu You first entered the aerospace system for an internship, he conducted research on high-temperature resistant materials and high-temperature resistant coating technology.
Combined with the high-temperature resistant technologies already available on the Zhengtu-9 rocket, Xu You is fully confident that the aerospace fighter can achieve such temperature tolerance.
Thinking of this, Xu You decided to start research on high-temperature resistant materials and high-temperature resistant coatings while launching a new controlled nuclear fusion plan.
…
Under Xu You's suggestion, the two projects, research on high-temperature resistant materials and new controlled nuclear fusion, were formally approved and entered the research stage.
Different from the "Dongri" series of controlled nuclear fusion projects , the new controlled nuclear fusion project was finally named the "micro-fusion" project because of its special direction.
After a period of research, both projects have made great breakthroughs, which has allowed the aerospace fighter project to officially enter the preparation stage.
Xu You informed Wu Jing of the research progress as soon as possible, which made Wu Jing very excited.
"Xu You, I didn't expect you to be able to develop a nuclear fusion power device suitable for aerospace fighters. Now we can prepare to officially launch the research project on aerospace fighters."
"Yes, your designs in the Xuanque series of aerospace fighters have become possible. With such powerful fighters, it is enough to ensure the safety of our lunar scientific research base."
After discussing some details of the project with Wu Jing, Xu You organized the project team members to hold a kick-off meeting for the project.
Everyone has known about this project for a long time, but no one expected that such an advanced project would actually enter the preparation stage.
When it was time for the meeting to start, Xu You walked to the stage with determination and told everyone about his plan.
"This time, our goal is to make the world's first true 'space fighter'. It can fly freely in space and protect the safety of our Earth and the Moon."
At this time, Xu You’s goal was no longer limited to the Earth, but he had even bigger goals.
Even the threat that Sam might pose wasn't the only thing Xu You was worried about.
Next, Xu You displayed the design drawings of the aerospace fighter on the big screen.
Everyone was a little surprised to see the completed design.
Even though the project has just entered the preparation stage, the design drawings of the aerospace fighter have been completed.
"This aerospace fighter, temporarily named the Xuanque series, was designed by Professor Wu Jing, and I made some modifications to the details. In addition to its powerful performance, in terms of energy, we will use a miniature controlled nuclear fusion reaction as a power supply for the first time."
Everyone was shocked again when they heard that Xu You was going to use a controlled nuclear fusion reactor in an aerospace fighter .
You know, let alone controlled nuclear fusion, even nuclear fission power devices are very rarely used in the world.
However, since the research on two generations of controlled nuclear fusion devices, "Dongri No. 1" and "Dongri No. 2", has been completed under the leadership of Xu You, it is not unimaginable to use controlled nuclear fusion in aerospace fighters.
After introducing the basic configuration of the Xuanque series of aerospace fighters, Xu You went on to explain some of its advanced technologies.
"In the middle of the fuselage, the Black Bird has a high-density energy center that can gather the energy generated by controlled nuclear fusion. Between the fuselage and the wings, there is a sensitive sensing force field device that can keep the fuselage balanced in space. On both sides of the wing, there is a laser rapid-fire cannon device that can fire powerful laser weapons..."
Although many of these technologies are far beyond modern times, Xu You still used solid theories to prove the feasibility of these technologies.
"The Xuanque series of aerospace fighters is not my only plan. Next, I will show you a more powerful design."
