Chapter 1071: Chapter 531 Application for Nuclear Testing_1

In the following days, Zhao Yi stayed in the reception apartment arranged by the nuclear institute and started discussing nuclear physics issues with the nuclear experts.

Zhao Yi’s purpose was to engage in academic exchanges on nuclear physics to fill in the gaps in his knowledge of particle physics and to enrich the breadth of his understanding in the process.

However, in reality, he did not start by discussing theoretical issues of nuclear physics with the experts, but rather, he was invited by various groups, departments, and leaders to view various projects at the nuclear institute.

The nuclear institute was very enthusiastic about Zhao Yi.

Academician Chen Zeshu personally received him every day, almost to the point of twenty-four-hour attendance. In reality, an academician like Chen Zeshu, around sixty years old and still working on the front lines, would be extremely busy. Yet he postponed the majority of his work to focus on accompanying Zhao Yi everywhere, looking at things and discussing issues along the way.

The rest of the staff at the institute weren’t much different. Compared to the reception of the anti-gravity aircraft team, their enthusiasm clearly increased several times over.

This was mainly due to Zhao Yi’s influence and the things he did at the nuclear institute.

Zhao Yi had merely made a visit and after looking at the design of the input shielding pump, he solved the technical difficulties of the shielding pump.

The people at the institute admired Zhao Yi immensely and were all moved by his reputation as ’his name was indeed not taken in vain’.

They naturally were very enthusiastic.

The leadership of the nuclear institute was very warm towards Zhao Yi, and the head of the technical group also hoped to don a lead apron and have a look at their research.

What if...

What if Zhao Yi found issues with just a few glances and overcame the technical obstacles they faced?

There was already a precedent!

Thus, Zhao Yi started receiving invitations, being warmly received as he visited various projects and designs. In the beginning it was somewhat bearable, but later it became somewhat annoying; he ended up smiling wryly and saying directly, "It’s not possible that I’ll encounter some difficulty and just solve it on the spot!"

"I’m not a deity; don’t treat me like one...I am just an ordinary person!"

Zhao Yi emphasized he was an ordinary person several times, but it didn’t work very well; others still felt that when he commented on projects and designs, he always hit on key points.

Eventually, it was the leadership of the institute that stepped in, and only then did some project leaders leave with regret.

In just a short few days, the people at the institute gained a new understanding of Zhao Yi. They had always thought that Zhao Yi excelled in mathematics and theoretical physics, but they found out that he was even more of a genius in design. It could even be said he was a "bug" in that no matter what kind of design or challenge, it seemed Zhao Yi could easily identify the problem and provide a targeted solution.

Zhao Yi, on the other hand, was extremely humble. He explained, "It’s just that I think a little more usually, or maybe it’s a kind of inspiration!"

Later on, when he went to visit again, he simply refrained from speaking proactively. He just went to have a look and gained a slight understanding.

In his discussions with the experts at the nuclear institute on theoretical issues of nuclear physics, his gains were also significant.

Chen Zeshu is the top nuclear expert in the country. He is very knowledgeable about nuclear devices and technology and also has profound research on nuclear physics theories.

Through conversations with Chen Zeshu, Zhao Yi learned a lot.

Nuclear physics, plainly speaking, is atomic nuclear physics, the branch of physics that studies the structure and change patterns of atomic nuclei.

This discipline can also be classified as "particle physics," but nuclear physics differs from other theoretical physics in that it focuses on areas related to nuclear energy and nuclear technology applications. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

In the history of physics development, nuclear physics is very important. In-depth studies of atomic nuclei have helped physicists discover short-range strong interaction and weak interaction, that is, strong force and weak force. Additionally, the phenomenon of parity violation, which is related to nuclear physics, represents a significant breakthrough to the traditional conceptions of physics in terms of space-time.

The main core of particle physics research is the laws of the four kinds of interactions and the possible connections between them.

This is a very important subject.

But in reality, what has given nuclear physics its eminence is its applications—namely, the ability to release nuclear energy, whether for producing destructive weapons or for building nuclear facilities to provide a new type of energy, are areas valued by the world.

Nuclear energy, when described, can be both complicated and simple; it only breaks down into two types—

fission and fusion.

In the periodic table of elements, iron is an important demarcation point. Iron has the highest binding energy per nucleon, simply put, the atomic nucleus is in the "most stable" state and least likely to undergo nuclear reorganization.

To gain a higher energy yield, light nuclei undergo "fusion" to become heavier nuclei, whereas heavy nuclei conversely undergo "fission" to create lighter nuclei.

These are two different research directions and two different types of nuclear reactions.

Theoretically, any material, even the dirt on the ground, under extreme conditions, could undergo a nuclear reaction.

The prerequisite is an "extreme environment." fгeewebnovёl.com

Clearly, Earth does not possess the extreme conditions like those within a star—ultra-high pressure, high temperature—so the majority of stable atomic nuclei have no potential for nuclear reactions. Even if one were to forcibly create the required environment, because of the high energy needed to manufacture the environment itself, it would definitely be a loss.

Therefore, the primary materials for nuclear reactions are still those elements that are prone to nuclear fusion or fission.

Zhao Yi had already understood these basic concepts, and he knew even more. However, discussing with a true nuclear expert, his gains were certainly different.
