If there is an equation that changes the fate of mankind, but the premise for the equation to take effect is that countries will put aside their prejudices and cooperate without selfless cooperation, will such science fiction novel plots come true?
A technology called " core fusion " is testing human intelligence. Using 150 million degrees (10 times the solar heat) high temperature, two tritium atoms are fused into helium atoms. According to the mass-energy exchange equation of Einstein , the mass lost in the fusion process will release huge energy without causing any radiation pollution. If this technology is successful, it will become a major innovation in human history.
The physical concept of energy generated by nuclear fusion was proposed by scientists as early as the 19th century. But it was not until 30 years ago, in 1988 that an ITER program involving 35 countries around the world officially began.
At that time, the two powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, put aside their stereotypes and promoted the development of the technology by the leaders of the two countries, Presidents Regen and President Gobachev. ITER refers to the tokamak reactor studied in the Soviet Union in the 1950s.
By 2006, the United States, Japan, South Korea, the European Union, Russia and China signed contracts to build reactors in southern France. Due to too many technical development projects involved, this contract signed by 35 countries ensured the materials and intellectual property rights required for the construction of the reactors, and the participating countries supported this plan without any restrictions. The
ITER plan is not the only nuclear convergence development plan in the world, but the budget of this $22 billion plan has reached 65% of the current progress. It is expected that the test will start in 2025, which is definitely the most promising project to meet the standards.
Of course, in addition to technical issues, the most critical factor in the smooth progress of the plan comes from the selfless cooperation of various countries.
Perhaps, in addition to solving human energy problems, the ITER plan can also inspire humans. When faced with major issues in the earth's environment, as long as you are willing to work together, you can always find a solution.
