Super Island Tycoon Chapter 436: Superconductivity

Energy is an important indicator that determines the degree of civilization development. It can be said that only a large amount of energy can be used to develop the level of science and technology.

Jiang Cheng had already obtained nuclear power reactor technology from coal family, and it was a miniaturized nuclear power reactor.

According to the truth, Jiang Cheng should have no shortage of energy. After all, nuclear energy is a very efficient energy source.

But the nuclear reactor that Jiang Cheng got was a fission reactor, which was a technology long ago.

The current nuclear power plant is this kind of reactor. The coal family has just miniaturized it, so it is not an advanced technology.

There are several shortcomings of fission reactors, each of which is very fatal.

The first is that the reactor itself is quite unstable. If there is an accident, it is a serious radiation leakage accident.

I haven't seen the power station leakage accident in Dao country a few years ago, and the leaked radiation has not been cleaned up yet.

Xiong Country has also experienced a serious nuclear leak in history. A huge accident occurred at the Chernuobyl Power Station that year.

Up to now, the place still cannot live, and decades later it is still deserted.

If such a reactor is vigorously developed, accidents will only be a matter of time.

Jiang Cheng doesn't want the Yan family to become like that at that time. If there are radiation zones everywhere, he will not have a good solution.

The second is that this type of reactor requires special radioactive materials, which are very rare.

There are not many on the entire planet, and it is not a simple matter to vigorously develop.

Jiang Cheng is very troublesome even if he wants to use it. With his current status, he can still get a small amount of materials from the country, and it would be difficult for him to get a large amount of materials.

The third is that the upper limit of the energy output of this type of reactor is not high enough, and it does not meet Jiang Cheng's requirements.

The shortcomings of this fission reactor are quite big, and various problems have caused Jiang Cheng not to use it.

Even the reactor on Iron Man's armor was used unavoidably, and Jiang Cheng didn't want to use it if there was a better choice.

He always carries a scourge whenever and wherever possible, even when fighting.

Except for fission reactors, there are not many energy sources currently available.

Traditional thermal power generation Jiang Cheng is completely insignificant, and wind and tidal energy are not very good.

Although solar energy is very safe and pollution-free, it can be said that solar energy is never exhausted.

As long as the sun goes out and then goes out, solar energy can be used forever.

Although solar energy is good, it is not enough for Jiang Cheng to use.

The current technology is too low for solar energy utilization, and the output power is not enough for Jiang Cheng to dry his teeth.

Jiang Cheng thought about it in the laboratory for a long time, but couldn't find any suitable new energy.

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Cheng still set his goal on nuclear energy.

The nuclear energy Jiang Cheng wants is not a fission reactor, but a brand new thing like a fusion reactor.

Nuclear energy includes fission and fusion. Although both are nuclear energy, fusion is much more advanced than fission.

The fusion reactor has no pollution. The raw material it uses is the very common element of hydrogen.

This kind of energy is not only safe, but the raw materials are abundant, and the output power is also quite large, enough for Jiang Cheng to use next.

Unfortunately, although the fusion reactor looks quite beautiful, it is very difficult to realize this technology.

All countries have long set their sights on fusion reactors, but they have not yet succeeded in research.

Jiang Cheng is going to get the variable reactor out to completely solve the problem of the source.

After Jiang Cheng decided on the direction of the next research, he was ready to start researching related technologies.

As for why we didn’t start the research right away, that’s because the current technological methods do not meet the requirements of fusion reactors.

Without some necessary technology and materials, it is impossible to make a fusion reactor directly.

Jiang Cheng needs to get some advanced technology first, otherwise even he can't make a fusion reactor.

Those countries invest tens of billions of dollars each year, but since they can’t find fusion reactors, the reason is that the current conditions are not up to the requirements.

No matter how hard those scientists work, there is no hope of success.

First of all, thinking about materials is a problem that cannot be circumvented. If the materials do not meet the standard, fusion reactors can only be imagined.

Fusion reactors require a lot of materials, many of which are not available on the earth, and the most important material is superconducting materials.

Superconducting materials are indispensable materials for fusion reactors, and they also play a very important role in other fields.

As the name suggests, this material is used to conduct electricity, but it is actually a kind of conductor.

But this kind of conductor is not simple at all. Since it has no resistance, it will not generate heat when it is energized.

Although it seems that this material is not very useful but does not generate heat, it is actually very, very important.

Be aware that in the process of using electrical energy, a large part of it is wasted on heating. If superconducting materials are used, these wasted electrical energy can be effectively used.

Not only is it a problem of power waste, heat is actually the biggest hemp.

The mobile phones and computers you usually use will get hot if you use them for too long, which will seriously affect the performance of the machine.

If those machines use superconducting materials, they won't generate heat at all.

If the machine does not heat up, the heat sink can also be eliminated.

You might imagine a computer that does not require heat dissipation. You don’t need a fan. You don’t need to hear the annoying sound of the fan anymore~ IndoMTL.com~ If the mobile phone uses superconducting material If it is fully charged, it can be used for at least a few more hours. In fact, a large part of the electric energy in the mobile phone is wasted in the heat. These problems can be solved by superconducting materials.

The benefits of superconducting materials are far more than these, and its importance is evident.

Jiang Cheng wants to study superconducting materials, not only for fusion reactors, but also in many places.

If you research it out now, it will be convenient to use it later.

Superconducting materials are nothing new. There are already many kinds of superconducting materials that have appeared.

However, these superconducting materials have great restrictions on their use. They need to be at a very low temperature before the resistance is zero.

If these materials are placed below room temperature, they will lose their superconducting properties.

The best superconducting materials now need to be used at temperatures of tens of degrees below zero.
