Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 491 - 490: Immense Power

As long as this frenzied energy can be subdued, the energy problem can be completely solved.

However, such a domineering energy is very difficult to tame, and making this energy controllable has become humanity's greatest challenge.

If we can control the occurrence of nuclear fusion and make the ability generated by this physical phenomenon output slowly, this fierce monster can be subdued.

Research on controlled nuclear fusion has been conducted for a long time, and many methods to control nuclear fusion have been discovered.

The occurrence of nuclear fusion releases a large amount of energy in an instant, and many scientists are studying ways to control the power output.

Years of research have yielded some results; there are now some methods to control output power.

Although these methods are not yet very mature, at least there is hope of seeing results.

The issue of power output is relatively simple; the real difficulty is determining what container to use for the nuclear fusion reactor.

The occurrence of nuclear fusion produces extremely high temperatures, far beyond ordinary understanding, reaching an incredible level.

The sun is actually a constant nuclear fusion reactor, which is why it can provide such a large amount of energy.

If you can believe the temperature on the sun, you can understand the high temperatures generated by nuclear fusion.

Although human-made nuclear fusion is far smaller in scale than the sun, the temperatures it generates are still extremely high.

Currently, all human materials cannot withstand such high temperatures and are even far from reaching these temperatures.

Even the most robust materials available on Earth would instantly melt when nuclear fusion occurs, making controlled nuclear fusion impossible to discuss.

The Adamantium Alloy produced by the United States recently was unable to withstand such high temperatures, and the Gold-Titanium Alloy created by Jiang Cheng also failed.

Even the container cannot be manufactured by humans at present, showing how difficult nuclear fusion is to control.

The container issue has now become the biggest problem in the controlled nuclear fusion project, a problem that has trapped countless scientists.

Over the years, the amount of money spent on this topic has reached astronomical figures.

Many excellent scientists have spent their entire lives on this project to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

Unfortunately, all this money and effort went to waste, and there is still no hope of success.

In recent years, the investment from every country in this has reached hundreds of billions, piled up like a small mountain.

However, these investments were not entirely wasted; at least a few solutions were devised.

One of the most viable solutions is the use of magnetic fields to control nuclear fusion reactions, a technology called "Magnetic Confinement Controlled Nuclear Fusion."

The problem with this technology is that the reactor becomes enormous, reaching several kilometers in size.

This is because the magnetic field capable of controlling nuclear fusion must have very high intensity.

Generating such strong magnetic fields requires a huge reactor; however, after Jiang Cheng developed room-temperature superconducting materials, the size of this reactor was greatly reduced.

With the superconducting materials, cooling devices can be omitted, saving a significant amount of space.

Yet, this solution has a fatal issue, where the output energy is less than the input energy.

These magnetic fields consume a lot of energy, and this energy consumption exceeds the energy output of nuclear fusion.

Thus, this reactor becomes quite useless, as a power station that requires a huge energy input seems very unreliable.

Moreover, the input energy is higher than the output energy, making it a laughable loss-making deal.

It seems that humanity cannot grasp controlled nuclear fusion technology without Jiang Cheng's involvement.

Jiang Cheng knows many methods of constraining nuclear fusion, and these methods are all very reliable.

Now it seems that the future energy problem of humanity depends entirely on Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng's shoulders now bear the hope of all humanity.

Of course, Jiang Cheng will not disappoint everyone; he is now conducting the final experiment.

Jiang Cheng has a complete idea for controlled nuclear fusion, unlike those scientists who cannot find a direction.

Once Jiang Cheng completes the current experiment, controlled nuclear fusion will become a reality, no longer just a technology existing in fantasy.

Now comes the critical moment — the success depends on the experiment's results.

In a special room in the laboratory, Jiang Cheng stands in front of the test bench.

On the test bench is a gigantic machine, which looks very strange.

The top of the machine is a smooth plane, while below are many convex and concave blocks.

The whole machine looks very disharmonious and has no aesthetic appeal.

This machine is Jiang Cheng's achievement over this period, a machine capable of constraining nuclear fusion.

Jiang Cheng doesn't care about the appearance. After all, this machine won't be exposed outside and will eventually be placed in the laboratory's basement.

For things that don't need to be seen every day, Jiang Cheng is very casual about their appearance.

The experiment will soon officially begin, and Jiang Cheng first speaks to the little girl in mid-air: "Lucy, help me monitor all the experimental data, temperatures, energy output power, all of these need detailed monitoring." "Okay, Master!"

The little girl is the image projected by Lucy, who assists Jiang Cheng in this experiment.

Lucy's image looks very lifelike, indistinguishable to the naked eye whether it's real or virtual.

That's the effect of holographic projection technology; the entire laboratory is filled with nanometer imaging crystals now.

Within the boundaries of the laboratory, Jiang Cheng can conduct holographic projections at will.

This makes experiments much more convenient for Jiang Cheng, as Lucy can help with many tasks.

Every process of the fusion reaction must be carefully recorded, and any abnormal data found should immediately warn me, ready to terminate the experiment!

Jiang Cheng calmly observes the machine in front of him, and then seriously reminds Lucy to carefully monitor the various experimental data.

This experiment is not like those he has conducted before; nuclear fusion experiments are extremely dangerous.

Any mistake would cause a catastrophic disaster. If the experiment goes out of control, it would trigger a small hydrogen bomb explosion in the lab.

Although Jiang Cheng has already taken protective measures in advance, even he has little confidence in them.

After all, it is a nuclear fusion experiment, and any mishap would instantly generate a tremendous amount of energy.

Even with the most thorough preparations, it's difficult to withstand such destructive energy.
