Will China s controlled nuclear fusion technology be the world s first?

China's controlled nuclear fusion technology is indeed likely to become the world's first in the near future, and China's position in the international pattern will also rise with the large-scale application of controlled nuclear fusion! We all know that although the United States is still the only superpower in the world today;

However, the decline and decline of the United States in all aspects has become an inevitable trend of history! Judging from the various actions of this epidemic, although the United States is "dancing with demons" in a vain attempt to hinder the development of the wheel of history, no one can stop the rise of China!

In the field of high-tech science, we have already surpassed the United States in many aspects! For example, China is the first country to realize quantum communication, and the first to deploy quantum networks to the world! Moreover, "controlled nuclear fusion", a technology that will change mankind in the future, is about to be applied on a large scale!

We all know that the energy of "nuclear fusion" is the largest and most intense energy that human beings have explored today, and the hydrogen bomb is fueled by it to have such great destructive power! But it is precisely because nuclear fusion is quite dangerous and there are too many unstable factors that it is difficult to control!

Therefore, the "controlled nuclear fusion" technology is rare and valuable, and it is also the goal of research in all countries around the world! At the beginning of the twentieth century, the United States and Japan worked closely together to build a large-scale laser interferometer particle accelerator in Texas City, so their research on controlled nuclear fusion ranked among the top in the world!

However, as time went on, these American researchers gradually found themselves on the wrong path! Because, the research they carried out was thankless to divide the laser into 3,000 beams and then forcibly interfere with the movement of the atomic nucleus!

In 2020, the "laser interference" cold chain nuclear fusion secretly carried out by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made a great breakthrough! According to people familiar with the matter, as early as 2030, there will be a result!

China is likely to become the first country in the world to master controlled nuclear fusion! When the time comes, we will not only be able to launch more sophisticated flying machines; It is also possible to develop a "destructive-grade" cobalt bomb, and when the time comes, China's international status will inevitably replace the United States and become the world!

It is still possible, after all, our country has always been a leader in nuclear fusion.

No, because all countries have research in this area, but we don't know the results of their research, so we can't be considered the best in the world.

It can only be said that the progress of China's controllable nuclear fusion is relatively fast compared with Europe and the United States, and some international problems have been solved, and it is at the world's leading level in some aspects, but there is still a long way to go before it is truly commercialized.

Controlled nuclear fusion will take another 20 years. Because the general nuclear fusion is polymerized into helium by deuterium and tritium ions, and the mass lost in the polymerization is converted into super energy, China's new generation of controllable nuclear fusion research device "China Circulator No. 2M" (HL-2M) was officially completed and discharged in Chengdu, marking that China has officially entered the forefront of global controllable nuclear fusion research, and HL-2M will further accelerate the pace of human exploration of future energy.

Principles of Controlled Nuclear Fusion:Because fusion reactions release more energy than nuclear fission, fusion changes are difficult to control. However, in contrast to nuclear fission, nuclear fusion reactions do not produce long-term, high-level nuclear radiation, do not produce nuclear waste, and the reaction product is helium without radioactive contamination.

Because nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures, the fusion reaction will automatically abort if there is a problem in one part of the process and the fuel temperature drops. The raw materials for nuclear fusion are extremely abundant, and deuterium is extremely abundant in seawater. In the future, controlled nuclear fusion, if one day realized, will provide humanity with a near-infinite source of energy.

The fundamental reason why mankind has not mastered the controlled nuclear fusion technology is that the implementation process is too difficultAlthough our science is now very developed, there are still many problems in the scientific community that we simply cannot overcome, and there are many scientists who predict that there will be no controllable nuclear fusion technology in the next 100 years, which is enough to show how difficult this thing is.

First of all, the most difficult point of controllable nuclear fusion is control, controllable nuclear fusion is equivalent to building a small sun on earth that can continuously and steadily release energy, you can imagine how difficult the technical requirements are. In order for hydrogen atoms to fuse, they must have very, very strong pressure and very high temperatures, and if scientists study the sun, the pressure of fusion inside the sun is 300 billion times higher than the atmospheric pressure on Earth, and the temperature inside the sun is about 15 million degrees Celsius.

Secondly, human beings have not been studying nuclear fusion for a long time, we have too little understanding of nuclear fusion, there have been reports pointing out that human understanding of nuclear fusion, but only one in 100 million, so if we want to obtain controllable nuclear fusion technology, we must first understand nuclear fusion, and then develop nuclear fusion technology, and slowly turn this technology into controllable, and scientists have spent hundreds of years to understand this one-hundred-millionth of nuclear fusion, so the development of controllable nuclear fusion technology, There is really a long way to go.

Finally, scientists have actually invented magnetic confinement, especially laser inertial confinement is already in the experimental stage, which is also a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion research, but at present, this technology is only in the laboratory stage, and the controllable time is less than 100 seconds, so there is really a long, long way to go in the future.

The main reason is that we humans have not worked hard to study in that aspect, so we have not yet controlled it, and the second is that our scientific and technological progress has reached a certain time, that is, there will be a buffer period.

Because nuclear fusion is very powerful, it has already been wiped out before people get close, so it is difficult to master this nuclear fusion technology.

Because scientists have not yet invented it, there is no such technology yet, and I hope to see it in the near future.

Controlled nuclear fusion will take another 20 years. Because general nuclear fusion is polymerized by deuterium and tritium ions into helium, the mass lost in the polymerization is converted into super energy, which is the same as the principle of solar light and heat, so the time is relatively long. China's new generation of controllable nuclear fusion research device "China Circulator No. 2M" (HL-2M) was officially completed and discharged in Chengdu.

Principles of Controlled Nuclear Fusion:Two atoms with a small mass, let's say two deuterium atoms, under certain conditions (such as ultra-high temperature and high pressure), will undergo nuclei that will coalesce with each other to form neutrons and helium-3, accompanied by a huge energy release. Although two light nuclei repel each other due to their positive charge when fusion occurs, two nuclei with high enough energy meet head-on and they can be brought together so closely that the nuclear force can overcome the Coulomb repulsion and cause a nuclear reaction.

At present, China is the country with the most advanced controlled nuclear fusion technology in the world. China has made fruitful achievements in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, including important contributions to the development of global controlled nuclear fusion, and has become one of the most advanced countries in the world with controlled nuclear fusion technology. China has developed a series of controlled nuclear fusion technologies, including fusion reactors, fusion materials, fusion reactors, fusion reactor thermal engineering design, fusion reactor safety systems, and fusion reactor control system cavities.

In addition, China is also building the world's largest controllable nuclear fusion reactor, the Southern Thermonuclear Fusion Reactor, which is expected to be completed in 2021.

Controlled nuclear fusion, under certain conditions, the speed and scale of nuclear fusion are controlled by a lack of slip to achieve a safe, continuous and stable nuclear fusion reaction with energy output. There are forms of laser confinement nuclear fusion, magnetic confinement nuclear fusion, etc. It has the advantages of sufficient raw materials, excellent economic performance, safety and reliability, and no environmental pollution.

Due to the extremely high technical difficulty, it is still in the experimental stage.

There are about three main methods of controlled nuclear fusion: gravitational confinement, inertial confinement, and magnetic confinement.

Nuclear fusion is the process by which two lighter nuclei merge into one heavier nucleus and release energy. The easiest fusion reaction in nature is the fusion of deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen, which has been going on on on the sun for 5 billion years. Controlled nuclear fusion is commonly known as artificial sun, because the principle of the sun is nuclear fusion reactions.

Nuclear fusion reactions rely mainly on hydrogen isotopes. Nuclear fusion does not produce the long-term and high level of nuclear radiation that occurs in nuclear fission, does not produce nuclear waste, and certainly does not produce greenhouse gases, and basically does not pollute the environment) People understand that thermonuclear fusion began with the hydrogen bomb. Scientists hope to invent a device that can effectively control the process of the "hydrogen bomb**" and allow the energy to continue to output steadily.

China's controlled nuclear fusion technology is at the international leading level.

1.International cooperation

China actively participates in the International Fusion Experimental Reactor (ITER) program and has become one of its important partners. China has also joined the Global Cooperative Research Programme (COP) on Tokamak Reactors, which is working with other countries on fusion technology.

2.Independent research and development.

China has been promoting its self-developed nuclear fusion technology. According to the plan, by 2035, China will build an engineering prototype and achieve official commercial operation. At present, China has built the first artificial solar experimental device in China, the "HL-2M tokamak device", laying the foundation for the future exploration of nuclear fusion technology.

3.From lab to engineering.

With the advancement of science and technology, China's controlled nuclear fusion technology has gradually changed from laboratory to engineering. For example, in 2016, the world's longest production line or hole for high-temperature superconducting materials was built in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, which is the key to supporting the engineering construction of large-scale domestic tokamak plants.

4.Future outlook.

China's controlled fusion technology has made a lot of achievements, but it still faces many challenges. In the future, it is necessary to continue to strengthen basic research and improve technical capabilities. At the same time, it is also necessary to give full play to the importance of international cooperation and jointly face the various problems and challenges brought about by the development of nuclear fusion technology.

5.Technological breakthroughs

China's controllable fusion technology is still being iteratively upgraded, and technical difficulties are constantly being broken through, such as new breakthroughs in materials and engineering manufacturing. In addition, the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also seeking the application of "nano-hybrid multifunctional composite materials" and expects to contribute to nuclear fusion engineering.

6.Drive the technology industry.

The reason why China's controlled nuclear fusion technology has made such great progress is not only its excellent performance, but more importantly, it can drive the development of the entire country's science and technology industry. For example, in areas such as high-end materials and manufacturing, industries formed around controlled nuclear fusion technology have become new growth poles.

Overall, China's controlled nuclear fusion technology is at the international leading level, and although it still needs continuous investment and hard work, it is believed that this technology will gradually mature over time and provide more reliable clean energy solutions for mankind.

What kind of thing is still to be analyzed according to the project.

At present, the most likely fuel for fusion power plants is two isotopes or the first of which is called the heavy form of hydrogen, namely deuterium and pin number tritium. In nuclear fission, the atoms of the fuel are separated to release energy, whereas in nuclear fusion, two fuels are fused together on atomic units to release energy. Therefore, although nuclear fusion releases atomic energy, it does not directly produce nuclear waste.

In contrast, the second half of the equation shows that the fusion reactions driven by deuterium and tritium produce both helium and neutrons. Therefore, nuclear fusion is safer than nuclear fission changes. Some parts of a fusion reactor generate radioactivity during operation, so it must ultimately be handled safely.

However, the long-term radiotoxicity of this indirect nuclear waste is greater than that of current nuclear fission.
