Bubbles in the liquid can be stably suspended and pulsate periodically when driven by a certain sound field. In the collapse phase, bubbles can produce millions of volume compression ratios and high temperatures and pressures on the order of picoseconds. When the driving sound pressure is high enough, the accumulation of energy will cause the bubbles to glow, and this phenomenon is called sonoluminescence.
Under Lu Zhou's instructions, the researchers in the laboratory placed the transparent container into a black box made of neutron shielding material, closed the phase-locked integral imaging experiment system, and then reviewed the previous experimental steps. Repeats were made.
After receiving the experimental data from Sheng Xianfu, Lu Zhou took a brief look at it.
The sound pressure acting on the bubble not only brings a high temperature of millions of Kelvin to the bubble, but also brings a terrifying density!
It's just that the gas passed in has been changed from xenon to a deuterium-tritium mixed gas, and the power of ultrasonic waves has also increased from the original level to a new level!
Although this is just a test of the experimental device and there is still a long way to go before real success, it is undoubtedly a good start.
Staring at the data in the experimental report, Professor Li Changxia said solemnly: "The neutron amplification rate is still too low. If we want to maintain stable operation of controllable fusion... this level of sound waves may not be enough."
"Confirmed that the fusion reaction occurred!"
It's just that the gas passed in has been changed from xenon to a deuterium-tritium mixed gas, and the power of ultrasonic waves has also increased from the original level to a new level!
Under appropriate driving conditions, sonoluminescent bubbles can remain spherical and their nonlinear vibrations can accurately repeat millions or billions of cycles. It is precisely this characteristic that provides a possible way to achieve controllable fusion under relatively low temperature conditions.
The first stage of the experiment is just to test whether the design of this device is reasonable and whether it can provide enough sound pressure for the bubbles to make the temperature of the bubbles reach a temperature level of more than one million Kelvin in an instant.
From previous experiments, they had at most observed signs of fusion reactions. They were still far away from using this device to conduct stable and controllable fusion reactions.
Sheng Xianfu nodded seriously: "Yes!"
Especially Sheng Xianfu clenched his fists excitedly.
After all, the collapse of the bubble occurs in an instant. It is not easy to indirectly measure the temperature at this instant, let alone reduce the error of the data.
With a short mosquito sound, the high-power ultrasonic generator began to release ultrasonic waves carrying huge energy into the solution.
"Thinking?"
At this moment, inside the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Professor Li Changxia: "What kind of working fluid are you going to try?"
The center of the Acoustic Laboratory of the Institute of Physics has been temporarily requisitioned by the controllable fusion miniaturization research team led by Lu Zhou. Located on the experimental table in the center of the laboratory, there is a transparent container with a radius of about three inches.

The center of the Acoustic Laboratory of the Institute of Physics has been temporarily requisitioned by the controllable fusion miniaturization research team led by Lu Zhou. Located on the experimental table in the center of the laboratory, there is a transparent container with a radius of about three inches.
The bubbles suspended in the working liquid continuously flashed 10 sets of light. The phase-locked integration imaging experimental system collected photos in the luminous state. Several acoustic physics experts from the Institute for Advanced Study immediately analyzed the photos and determined the luminescence through the spectrum. temperature and power.
With a short mosquito sound, the high-power ultrasonic generator began to release ultrasonic waves carrying huge energy into the solution.
The moment they heard these words, everyone in the laboratory had expressions of excitement on their faces, almost cheering.
In addition to some special acoustic experiments, this system is also generally used to study anti-submarine sonar. If it weren't for Lu Zhou's sake, the director of the Institute of Acoustics would never have agreed to lend the equipment.
Immediately afterwards, the power of the ultrasonic transmitter began to gradually increase, and the sound pressure exerted on the bubble also increased.
"Thinking?"
When the xenon gas floating in the working liquid is compressed to a point that is imperceptible to the naked eye, the energy condensed in one point releases a light that is more dazzling than the point on the star.
The entire transparent container is filled with clear and viscous concentrated sulfuric acid. High-power ultrasonic generators are connected to both sides of the container. Various sophisticated instruments and equipment are displayed around the entire device, always ready to collect experimental data.
Standing next to the researcher, Lu Zhou quietly waited for the results of the experiment.
Of course, although the results of the experiment are very gratifying, judging from the data on the neutron amplification rate, the experiment itself is not optimistic.
Since the phenomenon of sonoluminescence occurs in picosecond-level flashes, it is difficult for general laboratory cameras to collect all the flash information, especially the moment when the bubble collapses to its minimum.
And density is also one of the conditions for fusion reactions!
Of course, although the results of the experiment are very gratifying, judging from the data on the neutron amplification rate, the experiment itself is not optimistic.
The first stage of the experiment is just to test whether the design of this device is reasonable and whether it can provide enough sound pressure for the bubbles to make the temperature of the bubbles reach a temperature level of more than one million Kelvin in an instant.
The luminous power is about 130W. Although it only flickers for a moment, it is quite amazing. As for the peak temperature of the bubble surface, the most outstanding group reached a terrifying figure of 1.5 million Kelvin, just like a star floating in the solution!
Some things don't need to be seen intuitively. Intuitive data is more reliable than anything else.
For this experiment, Lu Zhou even borrowed the only "phase-locked integral shooting imaging experimental system" from the Jinda Institute of Physics.
Lu Zhou shook his head: "I don't know, but I do have a possible idea."

"The results of the first phase of the experiment are very successful. Get ready to enter the next phase." Putting the experiment report on the table, Lu Zhou continued to give instructions to Sheng Xianfu who was standing next to him. "Add a neutron shielding layer to the container and prepare to inject it." Deuterium and tritium mixed gas!”
From previous experiments, they had at most observed signs of fusion reactions. They were still far away from using this device to conduct stable and controllable fusion reactions.
"Inject xenon!"
It's just that the gas passed in has been changed from xenon to a deuterium-tritium mixed gas, and the power of ultrasonic waves has also increased from the original level to a new level!
Of course, this data is not necessarily accurate.
Lu Zhou nodded and said.

Taking a deep breath, Sheng Xianfu walked to the nearest computer and quickly pressed a few buttons.
After taking out the container filled with concentrated sulfuric acid from the black box, the researcher responsible for identifying the radiation damage and neutron amplification rate immediately conducted a detailed analysis of the collected data.

"let's start."
Sheng Xianfu nodded seriously: "Yes!"
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, "Since traditional liquids at room temperature cannot meet the requirements, why don't we try liquid metal? For example, liquid lithium, I think it is an option worth trying... "
"Confirmed that the fusion reaction occurred!"
The moment they heard these words, everyone in the laboratory had expressions of excitement on their faces, almost cheering.

With the injection of xenon gas, a bubble slowly rose from the bottom of the container and floated in the center of the container driven by the sound field.
Under appropriate driving conditions, sonoluminescent bubbles can remain spherical and their nonlinear vibrations can accurately repeat millions or billions of cycles. It is precisely this characteristic that provides a possible way to achieve controllable fusion under relatively low temperature conditions.

With the injection of xenon gas, a bubble slowly rose from the bottom of the container and floated in the center of the container driven by the sound field.
At the moment when the sound pressure acting on the bubbles reaches 15 times the standard atmospheric pressure, the xenon bubbles floating in the concentrated sulfuric acid are like a bright light, instantly flashing purple to white light!
"The results of the first phase of the experiment are very successful. Get ready to enter the next phase."

Under Lu Zhou's instructions, the researchers in the laboratory placed the transparent container into a black box made of neutron shielding material, closed the phase-locked integral imaging experiment system, and then reviewed the previous experimental steps. Repeats were made.

There was no more exciting news for him.
Of course, although the results of the experiment are very gratifying, judging from the data on the neutron amplification rate, the experiment itself is not optimistic.
Since the phenomenon of sonoluminescence occurs in picosecond-level flashes, it is difficult for general laboratory cameras to collect all the flash information, especially the moment when the bubble collapses to its minimum.
The first stage of the experiment is just to test whether the design of this device is reasonable and whether it can provide enough sound pressure for the bubbles to make the temperature of the bubbles reach a temperature level of more than one million Kelvin in an instant.
Finally, the results came out.
There was no more exciting news for him.
Finally, the results came out.
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, "Since traditional liquids at room temperature cannot meet the requirements, why don't we try liquid metal? For example, liquid lithium, I think it is an option worth trying... "
In addition to some special acoustic experiments, this system is also generally used to study anti-submarine sonar. If it weren't for Lu Zhou's sake, the director of the Institute of Acoustics would never have agreed to lend the equipment.
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Xianfu walked to the nearest computer and quickly pressed a few buttons.
Of course, although the results of the experiment are very gratifying, judging from the data on the neutron amplification rate, the experiment itself is not optimistic.
"The observation results are out!" A strong look of joy appeared on his face. The researcher quickly handed the completed experimental report to Lu Zhou's hand and reported excitedly, "By measuring the radiation on the surface of the neutron shielding material, According to the damage detection, there is enough evidence to show that during the test period, there were 2.5 MeV neutrons bombarding the material surface... The neutron amplification rate is estimated to be 1.7%!"
"Inject xenon!"
"The results of the first phase of the experiment are very successful. Get ready to enter the next phase." Putting the experiment report on the table, Lu Zhou continued to give instructions to Sheng Xianfu who was standing next to him. "Add a neutron shielding layer to the container and prepare to inject it." Deuterium and tritium mixed gas!”

Of course, this data is not necessarily accurate.
"yes."
Sheng Xianfu nodded seriously: "Yes!"
Professor Li Changxia: "What kind of working fluid are you going to try?"
"Confirmed that the fusion reaction occurred!"
The sound pressure acting on the bubble not only brings a high temperature of millions of Kelvin to the bubble, but also brings a terrifying density!
The bubbles suspended in the working liquid continuously flashed 10 sets of light. The phase-locked integration imaging experimental system collected photos in the luminous state. Several acoustic physics experts from the Institute for Advanced Study immediately analyzed the photos and determined the luminescence through the spectrum. temperature and power.
"Confirmed that the fusion reaction occurred!"
The moment they heard these words, everyone in the laboratory had expressions of excitement on their faces, almost cheering.
For this experiment, Lu Zhou even borrowed the only "phase-locked integral shooting imaging experimental system" from the Jinda Institute of Physics.
The first stage of the experiment is just to test whether the design of this device is reasonable and whether it can provide enough sound pressure for the bubbles to make the temperature of the bubbles reach a temperature level of more than one million Kelvin in an instant.
The luminous power is about 130W. Although it only flickers for a moment, it is quite amazing. As for the peak temperature of the bubble surface, the most outstanding group reached a terrifying figure of 1.5 million Kelvin, just like a star floating in the solution!
About half an hour passed like this.
With the injection of xenon gas, a bubble slowly rose from the bottom of the container and floated in the center of the container driven by the sound field.
Finally, the results came out.
Especially Sheng Xianfu clenched his fists excitedly.
Some things don't need to be seen intuitively. Intuitive data is more reliable than anything else.

The moment they heard these words, everyone in the laboratory had expressions of excitement on their faces, almost cheering.
And density is also one of the conditions for fusion reactions!
This experimental idea works!
Especially Sheng Xianfu clenched his fists excitedly.
At the moment when the sound pressure acting on the bubbles reaches 15 times the standard atmospheric pressure, the xenon bubbles floating in the concentrated sulfuric acid are like a bright light, instantly flashing purple to white light!
The first stage of the experiment is just to test whether the design of this device is reasonable and whether it can provide enough sound pressure for the bubbles to make the temperature of the bubbles reach a temperature level of more than one million Kelvin in an instant.
The luminous power is about 130W. Although it only flickers for a moment, it is quite amazing. As for the peak temperature of the bubble surface, the most outstanding group reached a terrifying figure of 1.5 million Kelvin, just like a star floating in the solution!
From previous experiments, they had at most observed signs of fusion reactions. They were still far away from using this device to conduct stable and controllable fusion reactions.
"The observation results are out!" A strong look of joy appeared on his face. The researcher quickly handed the completed experimental report to Lu Zhou's hand and reported excitedly, "By measuring the radiation on the surface of the neutron shielding material, According to the damage detection, there is enough evidence to show that during the test period, there were 2.5 MeV neutrons bombarding the material surface... The neutron amplification rate is estimated to be 1.7%!"
There was no more exciting news for him.
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Xianfu walked to the nearest computer and quickly pressed a few buttons.
Bubbles in the liquid can be stably suspended and pulsate periodically when driven by a certain sound field. In the collapse phase, bubbles can produce millions of volume compression ratios and high temperatures and pressures on the order of picoseconds. When the driving sound pressure is high enough, the accumulation of energy will cause the bubbles to glow, and this phenomenon is called sonoluminescence.
Of course, although the results of the experiment are very gratifying, judging from the data on the neutron amplification rate, the experiment itself is not optimistic.
"Inject xenon!"
After confirming that the sound pressure in the working fluid had reached the standard of 5 times atmospheric pressure, Lu Zhou immediately continued to give orders.
After receiving the experimental data from Sheng Xianfu, Lu Zhou took a brief look at it.
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Xianfu walked to the nearest computer and quickly pressed a few buttons.
Of course, this data is not necessarily accurate.
The experiment continues.
It now appears that their experiment was successful.
From previous experiments, they had at most observed signs of fusion reactions. They were still far away from using this device to conduct stable and controllable fusion reactions.
After all, the collapse of the bubble occurs in an instant. It is not easy to indirectly measure the temperature at this instant, let alone reduce the error of the data.
Professor Li Changxia: "What kind of working fluid are you going to try?"
It's just that the gas passed in has been changed from xenon to a deuterium-tritium mixed gas, and the power of ultrasonic waves has also increased from the original level to a new level!
The entire transparent container is filled with clear and viscous concentrated sulfuric acid. High-power ultrasonic generators are connected to both sides of the container. Various sophisticated instruments and equipment are displayed around the entire device, always ready to collect experimental data.
With the injection of xenon gas, a bubble slowly rose from the bottom of the container and floated in the center of the container driven by the sound field.
Although this is just a test of the experimental device and there is still a long way to go before real success, it is undoubtedly a good start.
With the injection of xenon gas, a bubble slowly rose from the bottom of the container and floated in the center of the container driven by the sound field.
Staring at the data in the experimental report, Professor Li Changxia said solemnly: "The neutron amplification rate is still too low. If we want to maintain stable operation of controllable fusion... this level of sound waves may not be enough."
From previous experiments, they had at most observed signs of fusion reactions. They were still far away from using this device to conduct stable and controllable fusion reactions.
The bubbles suspended in the working liquid continuously flashed 10 sets of light. The phase-locked integration imaging experimental system collected photos in the luminous state. Several acoustic physics experts from the Institute for Advanced Study immediately analyzed the photos and determined the luminescence through the spectrum. temperature and power.
This experimental idea works!
Lu Zhou nodded in agreement and said, "You are right. Judging from the current conditions, it is difficult to achieve a stable and controllable fusion reaction. And if we want to do this, we must change the working fluid."
It's just that the gas passed in has been changed from xenon to a deuterium-tritium mixed gas, and the power of ultrasonic waves has also increased from the original level to a new level!
Immediately afterwards, the power of the ultrasonic transmitter began to gradually increase, and the sound pressure exerted on the bubble also increased.
"Inject xenon!"
Professor Li Changxia: "What kind of working fluid are you going to try?"
With the injection of xenon gas, a bubble slowly rose from the bottom of the container and floated in the center of the container driven by the sound field.

At this moment, inside the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Of course, although the results of the experiment are very gratifying, judging from the data on the neutron amplification rate, the experiment itself is not optimistic.
The sound pressure acting on the bubble not only brings a high temperature of millions of Kelvin to the bubble, but also brings a terrifying density!
Standing next to the researcher, Lu Zhou quietly waited for the results of the experiment.
When the xenon gas floating in the working liquid is compressed to a point that is imperceptible to the naked eye, the energy condensed in one point releases a light that is more dazzling than the point on the star.
Some things don't need to be seen intuitively. Intuitive data is more reliable than anything else.
Lu Zhou shook his head: "I don't know, but I do have a possible idea."
Sheng Xianfu nodded seriously: "Yes!"
At the moment when the sound pressure acting on the bubbles reaches 15 times the standard atmospheric pressure, the xenon bubbles floating in the concentrated sulfuric acid are like a bright light, instantly flashing purple to white light!
"Thinking?"
"yes!"
Bubbles in the liquid can be stably suspended and pulsate periodically when driven by a certain sound field. In the collapse phase, bubbles can produce millions of volume compression ratios and high temperatures and pressures on the order of picoseconds. When the driving sound pressure is high enough, the accumulation of energy will cause the bubbles to glow, and this phenomenon is called sonoluminescence.
