Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1250: 601

Cough cough!

Definitely handsomer than Wu Yanzu!

Bringing a full spirit, Zhao Yi and Chen Zeshu started their discussion.

Chen Zeshu’s face was full of bitterness.

After attending a meeting in the capital, he had been with the Z-wave experimental group for three days, and on the first day, he had wanted to see Zhao Yi, but was told that Zhao was immersed in his research, so he didn’t directly interrupt.

And that’s how he ended up waiting for three days.

Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Zeshu had Qian Hong inquire about Zhao Yi.

"I’ve disturbed you, really disturbed you," Chen Zeshu said somewhat apologetically, "I interrupted your research, Academician Zhao, it’s truly a grave mistake."

"A grave mistake, yet you still disturb me?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Zhao Yi forcefully tugged at the corner of his mouth, then shook his head and said, "It doesn’t matter, the research is almost finished."

Chen Zeshu didn’t ask what research it was and went straight to the purpose of his visit, which was to understand the technology of manufacturing materials for Z-wave, to see if it was possible to produce materials for nuclear fusion devices.

In the past few days, he and the members of the theory group had done some research, learning that the process involved direct compressing of materials, and then using the compressed materials to manufacture related parts, greatly enhancing their performance.

However, this method was actually not easy, because the performance of the compressed materials was too good. For example, some materials had melting points exceeding ten thousand degrees Celsius, and some could even reach twenty thousand degrees Celsius.

How to melt and manufacture precise parts from materials with such high melting points?

Difficult!

The modern furnaces that could reach the highest temperatures only managed to create temperatures of about four or five thousand degrees Celsius. Due to the materials inside the furnace, it was almost impossible to go any higher.

Therefore, materials with a melting point of over ten thousand degrees Celsius could almost only be melted in the special environment of a laboratory.

But a laboratory can’t manufacture precise parts.

Even if a laboratory could manufacture them, the corresponding costs would be astronomically high; perhaps the cost of a small part could reach tens of millions.

After explaining the manufacturing issues, Chen Zeshu proposed a potential solution, "I already know that your technology uses Z-wave to directly shrink materials."

"Then, is it possible to first manufacture oversized parts and then shrink them proportionally?"

"It’s not possible."

Zhao Yi immediately shook his head and said, "That’s impossible. The nuclear reaction device is my design, and the core components, especially the output end, are very precise. Z-wave irradiation comes with errors, and the errors are not small. Making large parts and then shrinking them would still require polishing, but Academician Chen, you should know that many core components of a nuclear fusion device must be made in one go, subsequent polishing is not an option."

Chen Zeshu, of course, knew this, but he couldn’t think of another solution.

Zhao Yi pondered for a moment and then said, "How about this, remake it!"

"Remake it?"

"Yes," he nodded, "We can directly manufacture a large core component and then cover it with Z-wave for overall compression. That way, the core is ready, and the other parts can be specially manufactured according to the size of the core."

"This—" Chen Zeshu hesitated and after thinking for a moment, he said, "This idea is good, but to remake everything on the whole would take quite some time."

Zhao Yi smiled and replied, "No problem. I have great confidence in my design. In this way, perhaps we could produce a nuclear fusion device that can be commissioned for use, rather than just remaining an experimental device."

"Is that possible?" Chen Zeshu asked in surprise.

"I believe it can be done."

Zhao Yi affirmed confidently and continued, "However, I am quite interested in another issue, Academician Chen, do you think the fuel for nuclear fusion can be compressed? Using compressed fuel could perhaps greatly enhance the power of the nuclear fusion device."

"Come, let’s evaluate it together."

"I still have some unclear areas concerning the internal reactions of nuclear fusion and the Neutron Scattering Effect."
