During this period of rest, although Chen Mo had promised Xiao Yu not to do any research, he had not been idle. He was constantly digesting the technologies he had acquired.
Among the technical materials obtained from the Sci-Tech Library were several methods for achieving Controlled Nuclear Fusion. The simplest was the Star Furnace, which used antigravity confinement and laser ignition.
Using an antigravity device, deuterium-tritium fusion gas would be suspended inside a vacuum chamber. High-energy lasers would then be focused into the gas cloud to ignite it and raise it to fusion temperature. This method was more like creating an artificial sun. There was no tritium retention loss, and tritium consumption was low. However, without the pressure found inside the sun, high-energy lasers had to be used to sustain Nuclear Fusion.
However, the acquired technology only recorded the high-energy laser technology and did not include antigravity device technology. Without antigravity to suspend the gas cloud in a vacuum, no container could hold Nuclear Fusion at temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees. Therefore, the Star Furnace method was currently impossible to achieve.
Chen Mo chose magnetic confinement. Without considering antigravity devices, magnetic confinement was somewhat more complicated than the Star Furnace, but existing technology could achieve it.
The main device for this type of magnetic confinement was called the Star Ring. The Star Ring Device was primarily composed of a Tokamak Device and a stellarator, though it differed from both and could be considered a new type of stellarator. However, the Star Ring Technology he had acquired offered better operational stability.
The acquired technical materials contained the complete core theory of Nuclear Fusion, including detailed records of the principles behind the Star Ring. The divertor used to withstand neutron radiation and plasma radiation from Nuclear Fusion had extremely strict
