Chapter 1218 Mr. Raymond, I am just a magician
The deuterium-tritium experiment refers to a fusion reaction in which light atomic nuclei deuterium and tritium combine to form helium nuclei under ultra-high temperature and high pressure conditions and release energy. This is a light nuclear fusion reaction that can be artificially achieved on Earth, and the temperature is much lower than the nuclear fusion that occurs in the sun.
Vincent didn't know the complex principles behind fusion reactions, but as he said just now, he was just a magician who could achieve those impossible conditions.
There are currently two technical paths for deuterium-tritium experiments: one is magnetic confinement using a tokamak device, and the other is laser-driven inertial confinement.
The European Joint Torus team adopted the first option. The necessary conditions are that the temperature of the plasma reaches above 1 million degrees Celsius, and the density and confinement time satisfy nt>10^20s/m, which corresponds to about 3170 million years at a length scale of 1 meter.
However, in actual experiments, equivalent conditions can be achieved in a shorter time scale through engineering means, which is what Raymond calls preparatory work.
"Above 1 million degrees Celsius..." Vincent lowered his head in thought.
Plasma is the fourth state of matter, consisting of ionized gas containing free electrons, ions and neutral particles. It has high conductivity and responds to electromagnetic fields, commonly known as electric arc or fusion flame.
Existing technology is sufficient to achieve a temperature of 1 million degrees Celsius, but it can only be maintained for a very short time, and there is also the condition of nt>10^20s/m.
Ordinary magical flames are far from reaching this temperature, and the fierce fire cannot be used in experiments due to its cursed properties.
Vincent recalls the duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort.
The lightning that Dumbledore used to strike Voldemort half to death could definitely significantly shorten the confinement time. This scale of weather spell was much larger than the one he used to freeze the dark wizards hired by Lucius. It seemed like he had to go back to Hogwarts.
When he told Raymond his idea, the other party said that arc plasma was the first choice of their research team, but it would consume a huge amount of electricity and the entire process required a stable power supply, which was roughly equivalent to the electricity consumption of the entire Oxford County in one month. They are actively communicating with the local government and expect to start the first experiment by the end of the year.
The two sides agreed that the weather spell could control natural lightning. As long as the scale of that duel could be reached, the experiment would definitely be completed successfully.
But before that, the research team still needs to solve many problems.
Raymond brought a thick document and asked, "Mr. Wayne, are you sure you can solve this?"
Vincent took it and glanced at it casually, "Mr. Raymond, I will bring you good news as soon as possible."
He turned to look at William. "Graphene can carry six times more current than copper with the same cross-sectional area, right?"
William lightly lifted his high-power myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose. "That's right. At the same time, the resistance loss is reduced by 90%. Its current transmission efficiency is extremely good."
Vincent pulled out a blueprint from Flamel's ring. "William, can you and Mr. Raymond's team scale up this device?"
The design drawing shows the current transmission device of the Dominator pistol for Muggles. It has very few applications in alchemy, so it should be no problem to make an enlarged version according to the drawing.
Raymond and his research team were stunned. “Mr. Wayne, where did you get that thing from?”
Vincent put the document he had given him into Flamel's ring, "Mr. Raymond, I told you, I'm just a magician."
A magician? What magic trick can make things appear and disappear out of thin air?
Raymond was full of complaints. He shook his head heavily and moved closer to the design drawing in William's hand.
Although the drawing is a bit sloppy, it should be a device used to transmit electric current.
"Mr. Wayne, can't our device meet your requirements?"
Vincent shook his head. "Perhaps, but to be safe, let's use the device I designed."
For safety reasons? What kind of current is this?
Raymond and his research team felt slighted.
But when they thought of the fighter jets parked outside, they felt relieved.
Since he is a special adviser recommended by the British government, he must be quite capable.
Anyway, the deuterium-tritium experiment is progressing slowly. If Vincent can really provide help, they will definitely cooperate fully. William also gave a positive response after carefully reading the design drawings.
"Mr. William, Mr. Raymond, I'll leave the device to you."
"Mr. Wayne?" Raymond called out to Vincent as he turned to leave the lab. "Aren't you going to stay with Mr. Snaith?"
"I have to go back to school first."
"School?" Raymond stared blankly at Vincent as he walked out of the laboratory.
He turned to look at William in confusion, "Is Mr. Wayne still in college?"
"Uh..." William thought for a moment, "Probably not. Something happened a while ago that caused him to no longer have to go to school. I'm not sure about the details."
Raymond and his research team were stunned again.
Can this magic-performing student or dropout really help them complete the deuterium-tritium experiment?

Hogwarts Castle,
Principal room,
As Vincent came in, he heard Principal Black's loud voice.
"How dare you, a wanted criminal like you, come back to school!?"
All that remained of Principal Black's portrait was his wide-open eyes. "Come whenever you want. What do you think this place is?"
Vincent walked towards the small round table as if nothing had happened. "If Sirius could come when he was wanted, why can't I come?"
Principal Black leaned back, revealing his flushed face, "Don't mention that traitor to the Black family. I get angry when you mention him!"
It was just a renovation of the ancestral home as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. He should be thankful that Sirius didn't tear the house down and rebuild it.
Vincent ignored the yelling Principal Black and looked at the portrait next to him, where Principal Armando Dippet was covering his ears.
"Principal Dippet, do you know where Professor Dumbledore is?"
"Albus? He seems to be—"
"Little bastard! Remember to tell that unworthy descendant when you get back!"
Principal Dippet flashed into Principal Black's portrait and kicked him to the ground with a red-faced man.
"Amando, you're looking for death!"
The two principals started fighting. The insidious Principal Black grabbed Principal Dippet's beard, but he was not happy for long, because Principal Dippet was also insidious and picked his nostrils hard with his hands.
Vincent enjoyed watching the fun and gave Principal Dippet a lot of dirty advice.
"That's it. First, break his fingers, then poke his eyes."
When Dumbledore came in, Headmaster Black had already fallen to the ground, but he was still cursing.
"Just wait, you little bastard! I'm going to report you to the Ministry of Magic!"
Vincent at the round table made a face and said, "Lelulelul, go quickly. I'll be waiting for you here."
"Ahaha——" This nostalgic scene made Dumbledore laugh on the spot.
