We have always reported that China has made various technological breakthroughs, in fact, these technological breakthroughs are all about China compared with Western countries. However, Western countries represented by the United States are still the world's leaders in technology, which we have to admit that there is a gap between us and the United States. Recently, the United States has made another "major scientific breakthrough" in the energy field. U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said on December 11 that it will announce a "major scientific breakthrough" this week. Previous media reports that a federal laboratory recently achieved a major milestone in nuclear fusion research.
UK Financial Times reported on Sunday that scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in , California, have achieved "net energy gain" from an experimental nuclear fusion reactor. This will represent the first time that the researchers have successfully produced more energy in a nuclear fusion reaction (the same type that provides energy to the sun) than is consumed in the process. This may be an important step in pursuing " zero carbon " energy. AFP said the U.S. Department of Energy and the lab spokesperson said it could not comment or confirm the Financial Times report, but said Energy Secretary Granholm would "announce a major scientific breakthrough" on Tuesday.
The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory spokesperson added that their "analysis is still in progress". “We look forward to sharing more information when the process is completed on Tuesday,” she noted. It should be noted that nuclear fusion is considered by some scientists as a potential energy source in the future, especially since it produces almost no waste and greenhouse gases, and will not produce nuclear radiation pollution. If humans can use nuclear fusion technology to provide energy for humans, it will be tantamount to changing the current energy structure for the entire human race. At the same time, it can also solve the current carbon emission problems and reduce the increase in global temperatures, which may lead to environmental problems such as sea level rise and .
The Financial Times quoted three sources who knew the preliminary results as saying that the nuclear fusion reaction that produced a 120% net energy gain occurred in the past two weeks. The Washington Post later reported that two people familiar with the study confirmed the progress, and a senior fusion scientist told the newspaper: "It's only a matter of time for most of us." According to reports, the nuclear fusion facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory consists of nearly 200 lasers , the size of three football fields, bombarding a small dot with high energy to initiate the nuclear fusion reaction.
Although the relevant reports did not disclose specific information and results, the United States' breakthroughs and development in the field of nuclear fusion have obviously achieved results. In the field of utilizing nuclear fusion energy, the United States may already be ahead of the world. After all, the US Department of Energy can announce a major breakthrough to the outside world, which is enough to show that the technology mastered by the United States in this field should be ahead of the world. You should know that some time ago, China has achieved some breakthrough achievements in the field of nuclear fusion, but the United States has not had many related reports.
Nowadays, Americans are not making a sound, but they have made a big splash. If they can make breakthroughs in the field of nuclear fusion and ultimately master the control of nuclear fusion energy in the future, this is tantamount to mastering a new door for the future energy revolution of mankind. U.S. Congressman Ted Lieu said, "If this breakthrough in nuclear fusion energy is real, it may change the rules of the world's game." Indeed, the technology and control of nuclear fusion will definitely affect the human energy system, especially breaking the existing chemical energy system. This will bring about changes in the entire rule for the rules and formulation of human future energy, including the division of interests.
If the United States uses the technology in its hands to establish the technology and development rules for future nuclear fusion energy, it means that the United States will formulate future energy rules first.For the current economy, the one who can make rules must be a country with absolute technology, and such a country will definitely gain the ultimate pricing power in profits. Then such a country will inevitably form a monopoly on the global new energy market, which is also an important way for the United States to exploit the world. The reason why the United States can stand at the top of the pyramid of global interests. In fact, the United States has mastered a large number of science, technology and patents, so that the United States can enjoy its benefits.
If the United States can obtain the technology and patents for nuclear fusion energy in the future field, then for the United States, it is tantamount to mastering the pyramid of future human energy. Then controlling the high interests at the top of Golden Tea will allow the United States to control the wealth distribution rights of the future world. It is precisely because of technological breakthroughs that the United States has such monopoly hegemony. The United States is also worried that countries like China will make breakthroughs in the future energy field. After all, having international voice means controlling future profit distribution. Our scientists may have to make more efforts in this regard. After all, being able to grasp the dominance of future science and technology is crucial to the development of a country.
