Hand rubbing nuclear fusion live in the wilderness

Chapter 395 Complete artificial smelting and synthesis of three unnatural elements

In the simulation space, Han Yuan cleaned up the equipment he took out, glanced at the barrage on the virtual screen, and said:
"That's right, because of its special properties, gamma nickel powder cannot be forged using conventional powder metallurgy techniques."

"So a special smelting method is needed, and from its physical properties, we can find a smelting method for gamma nickel, which is the 'arc discharge smelting method' that has been used before."

"This is the best way to smelt gamma nickel. Not only will it not destroy the 'hexagonal closest-packed' lattice structure, but it can also melt and fuse gamma nickel powder perfectly."

"In addition, arc discharge smelting can also reduce some oxides produced during secondary grinding and storage of gamma nickel powder, thereby improving the purity of the formed nickel bricks."

After a pause, Han Yuan then added:
"Of course, if conditions permit, it is best to process the gamma nickel powder and the secondary grinding and subsequent processes under vacuum conditions, so as to ensure the quality of the nickel plate formed by gamma nickel."

After briefly introducing the method of smelting gamma nickel, Han Yuan then filled the ground nickel powder into the smelting equipment and compacted it with tools.

Strictly speaking, this arc discharge melting method cannot be included in powder metallurgy metals.

It belongs to a unique electrolytic smelting method, but the raw material used is powder, and the previous steps are similar to powder metallurgy, so it is classified into a special branch under powder metallurgy.

This is also the reason why material experts and alloy experts from various countries cannot use powder metallurgy technology to smelt gamma nickel plates.

The deviation of the system is very large, and without knowing the specific smelting method and data in the early stage, no matter how you apply it, you can't figure it out.

The processed smelting equipment was put on the smelting table, and Han Yuan moved a current controller, installed it in the line, and said:
"Using the arc discharge melting method to smelt gamma nickel requires strict control of the intensity of the current and voltage, so a controller is needed to control it."

"The duration of the whole process depends on the size of the alloy sheet to be smelted."

"Like this gamma-nickel brick made of porcelain in my hand, it takes about 6 minutes of power-on time to completely smelt it."

After the power supply is regulated, the current and voltage are stabilized at a fixed value, and the Korean Won is connected to the device.

Six minutes passed quickly, and nothing unexpected happened during the period, and the smelting fusion of gamma nickel was very stable.

When the time was up, Won cut off the power supply, and after waiting for a while, he used tools to remove the gamma nickel from the smelting equipment.

The clip was submerged in cold water, and the sizzling heat suddenly came out.

After waiting for it to cool completely, Han Yuan reached out and picked it up, and inspected it carefully in front of his eyes.

Before smelting, some nickel bricks with powder structure can be seen, and now they have become a whole piece of silver-white metal.

The surface is glowing with silver-white light, and the color looks quite good.

"This is smelted gamma nickel. Its surface is silvery white and can be processed into various products."

"However, one thing to note is that for the processing of gamma nickel, it is necessary to use cold processing, and it is necessary to ensure that the temperature during processing does not exceed [-] degrees."

"Otherwise, the stable 'hexagonal closest-packed' lattice inside would suffer from decrystallization."

"That is, too high temperature stimulates it, which will cause gamma nickel, which is already stable at room temperature, to degenerate into ordinary nickel."

"If you need gamma nickel parts of a specific shape, I recommend making a special mold for one-time molding directly when using the 'arc discharge melting method'."

"In the later stage, simply do a little grinding and polishing."

Han Yuan observed the gamma nickel brick in his hand, and explained how to use gamma nickel by the way.

It has already reached this point, and he doesn't mind explaining it in more detail in one step.

[Manufacturing is difficult, and there are many restrictions in use. This is simply a waste, if it is not used in controllable nuclear fusion technology. 】

[I remember that the first-wall neutron-resistant materials for controlled nuclear fusion need to face very high temperatures, right? 】

[To be precise, not only temperature, the first wall material requires excellent performance, high melting point, high hardness, high radiation resistance, high temperature strength and good ablation resistance. 】

[Then isn’t this gamma nickel scrapped?If it exceeds nine hundred degrees, it will become ordinary nickel. Even if it can resist neutron radiation, it is useless. 】

[I don’t know, it’s probably still useful, let’s find a way to lower the temperature. 】

[The working temperature of the first wall of a commercial fusion reactor is above 1000°C, and it can reach 2000~3000°C when the plasma is shattered. Therefore, it is definitely not possible to use gamma nickel as a material directly, and we have to find a way]

[How to drop? 】

[No, you didn’t even figure out what the first wall of controllable nuclear fusion is for, so you just said that gamma nickel is useless, isn’t that purely funny? 】

【? ? ? ? ? 】

[The group upstairs laughed! 】

[Then could you please explain? 】

[With your IQ, it is difficult for me to explain to you the role and needs of the first wall. 】

The completion of gamma nickel made the audience in the live broadcast room very excited, but as soon as Won announced the conditions for processing gamma nickel, the live broadcast room was blown up again in an instant.

Some "knowledgeable" viewers began to question the ability and effect of Gamma Nickel, which led other viewers who did not understand to discuss it.

The seemingly real data in the barrage is even more convincing.

This method is commonly used by Huaguo Marketing Account.

Tell a fact first to increase the trust of the audience, then give some examples of data, speak in a louder tone, and then frankly express a rhythmic point of view.

In this way, it is difficult for people who have not experienced the pollution of marketing accounts all year round to distinguish between true and false, and even some highly educated people can sometimes fall into it.

For example, on a certain music account, some marketing accounts often use food safety to attract people's attention.

A microscope, tore a piece of spicy strips and put them directly under the lens for observation.

Then I started various blah blah based on the observation results, and finally came to the conclusion that this spicy bar is not clean
It is estimated that the chemistry teacher and biology teacher of these people would want to send them back to high school again after seeing them.

This is so embarrassing and nonsense.

The live broadcast room was chaotic. Although Han Yuan saw the barrage, he didn't explain anything about it.

Ordinary people simply don't have access to things like gamma nickel.

Those who can use this are all countries, and their horizons will naturally not be so low. After all, scientists are not raised for nothing.

As for experts from various countries, they are even more lazy to pay attention to these rhythmic people, or in other words, they have not seen these barrages at all.

There are too many people in this live broadcast room, and there are too many barrage gifts. If there are too many of these things, they can cover the entire display screen.

Therefore, basically 90.00% of the experts or scientific researchers above nine turned off the barrage, gifts and other functions when watching the live broadcast.

After putting away the gamma nickel ingots in the box, Han Yuan also refined the remaining gamma nickel powder into nickel ingots by arc discharge melting method, and then kept them.

One of the conditions for artificially smelting and synthesizing three unnatural elemental materials has been completed.

The remaining two are Li8 and carbon nanotubes.

Both materials are very important for the development of technology.

Li8 is an isotope of metallic lithium, and its main use is in batteries.

Li8 is one of the main materials used to make lithium-air batteries.

In addition, Li8 can also be applied to controllable nuclear fusion, which is a point that Won did not mention.

Anyone who has read a little bit of information about controlled nuclear fusion knows that in controlled nuclear fusion, the self-sustainability of tritium is also a problem.

And it's the top three hard questions.

On the earth, the content of tritium is actually very small. It can even be said that tritium basically does not exist in nature and needs to be produced artificially.

Moreover, it has relatively strong radioactivity, and its half-life is only ten years.

But the fusion raw materials of DT controllable nuclear fusion are deuterium and tritium.

So how to get enough tritium is a difficult problem.

At present, the main method of producing tritium in various countries is to bombard lithium plates with neutron beams to obtain tritium.

It's just that the lithium used in the lithium plate here is the isotope lithium 6 of lithium.

Compared with nature and its rare tritium, the stock of lithium is still larger.

Therefore, in the controllable nuclear fusion designs of various countries, tritium is generally self-sustained by fusion reactors.

Self-sustaining means to use the neutrons produced by fusion to proliferate, and then react with lithium 6 to produce tritium for recycling.

It's just that whether it's high-energy neutron bombardment, neutron multiplication, or the tritium produced are all highly radioactive, which will damage the equipment and materials of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor to a certain extent.

Like lithium 6, Li8 can also be used for tritium self-sustainment in controlled nuclear fusion, but relatively speaking, the efficiency of Li8 to produce tritium is slightly lower than that of Li6.

Therefore, the South Korean won did not say that Li8 can be used for controllable nuclear fusion.

As for carbon nanotubes, which are allotropes of carbon, they have more uses.

Even aside from carbon-based chips, carbon nanotubes have many uses.

Whether it is made into a transparent conductive film, it is used to replace ITO (indium tin oxide) as the material of the touch screen.

It is also used to store hydrogen, or to develop various composite materials.

Carbon nanotubes are versatile and indispensable.

Of course, in Won's view, its biggest use is still on carbon-based chips.

The completion of gamma nickel, coupled with the upcoming completion date of the material research and development task, allowed Won to speed up the progress of completing the task.

With the support of strong hands-on ability and the knowledge and information in his mind, he spent a total of 33 days to complete the second sub-task of the resource collection task 'artificial smelting and synthesis of three unnatural elements'.

This is still some problems when carbon nanotubes are artificially synthesized, otherwise the completion time can be advanced to within one month.

As of the smelting of these three unnatural elements, it is only the last one and a half months before the arrival of the third year of the Starlink mission.

In the original plan, the remaining one and a half months were used to manufacture radioactive protective clothing and mine radioactive ore.

It's just that it is now used to complete the material smelting task.

After the live broadcast, Han Yuan returned to his residence and opened the task information panel.

There are various tasks that have been completed and have not yet been completed.

[Starlink Mission--Main Mission: Information Age]

"Information Age Starlink Mission Main Mission Requirements: To successfully enter the Information Age within three years requires the information network to cover one-half of the entire simulated planet's territory (completed), and the live broadcast time shall not be less than eight hours a day (in progress)"

"Information Era Starlink Mission Main Mission Reward: Photon Computer-related Information."

[Starlink mission branch chain mission [-]: Industrial upgrade (completed)]

"Industrial upgrade branch chain task requirements: upgrade the current industrial equipment within one year, requiring the upgraded equipment to reach 50.00% of the total number of equipment. (Completed, the current completion progress is 117%)."

"Industrial Upgrade Branch Chain Task Rewards: Basic Industrial Bionic Machine Application Data Information."

[Starlink mission branch chain mission [-]: Resource collection]

"Resource collection Starlink mission requirements: Collect more than 50.00% of the original ecological elements on the current planet in two years and smelt and synthesize three unnatural elements."

"Note: The basic conditions of this task have been met, and the task time is in progress (of course, the collection ratio of original ecological elements: 87.34%, and the smelting of three unnatural elements has been completed)."

[Starlink mission branch chain mission [-]: Planetary communication]

"The mission requirements of the planetary communication branch chain: to manufacture a communicable artificial satellite within two years, send it into the low-earth orbit, and complete the communication between the low-earth orbit and the ground."

"Note: The basic conditions of this task have been met, and the task time is in progress (a total of 101 satellites have been launched into space)."

[Starlink mission branch chain mission [-]: Guardian of civilization. 】

"Remarks on the Civilization Guardian Branch Chain: When civilization develops rapidly, it will inevitably encounter some external difficulties and problems. It is the best choice to take up arms and protect yourself."

"Civilization Guardian branch chain task requirements: within three years, create a nuclear fission weapon or nuclear fusion weapon (requires that the explosive power should not be less than [-] tons of TNT equivalent.)"

"."

The first thing I saw was naturally the entire set of Starlink missions.

Han Yuan took a closer look and found that as his time progressed, the system would also change the task status in real time.

So far, he has actually completed four of the main mission and four side missions of the Starlink mission.

Among them, only industrial upgrades have been completely completed, and the other three are still on task time.

It's just that the basic task requirements have been met.

Of course, the requirement of live broadcasting for eight hours a day is not calculated in Korean won.

The rest that hasn't been moved is the 'Guardian of Civilization' in the side-chain task.

This task is actually quite time-consuming.

He wants to mine uranium, refine it, enrich it, and make it into a nuclear weapon and detonate it.

Although he could exchange technology points for uranium, it had to be extracted and enriched first.

Han Yuan estimates that this civilization protection mission will take at least three to four months.

And this is still in the case of raw materials and complete equipment.

If the equipment for refining and enriching uranium is included, the time should be extended to about half a year.
