Chapter 40: Artificial Sun
Northern Base Control Room!
"General Engineer Jiang, the laser ignition button line maintenance has been completed!"
Jiang Fan said excitedly, "Is there any other problems with the laser ignition system?"
"The test is completely normal, there is no problem, and you can ignite the experiment at any time!"
"good!"
Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, then sat in front of the main console.
"Report the magnetic ring device system?"
"The magnetic ring device system reaches level 9 power, and the data is normal!"
“External power supply situation?”
"The data is normal!"
“…”
"Commander Zhou, all data are normal and can be ignited at any time!"
Zhou Huaide was excited and his hands were trembling, and he directly opened the remote call system!
"Chief, now the Tokmak device is back to normal, and you can do ignition experiments at any time!"
The leader was talking to Professor Li about solar energy research and development projects and heard Zhou Huaide's remote report.
His eyes were lowered and he looked at the time, and told him that the time had passed three minutes!
"Xiao Zhou, I will give you another chance to ignite. This time, if this fails, any research will be stopped at the northern base tomorrow! All scientific researchers will be transferred to other projects!"
"Okay, I promise you!" Zhou Huaide said firmly.
"Chief, if our nuclear fusion stability control takes 100 seconds, you have to transfer all the original scientific researchers back and give us 10 billion yuan in funding!"
"10 billion yuan?"
The reviewer next to the leader screamed when he heard Zhou Huaide's words!
Last year, the country spent a total of 30 billion yuan on basic scientific research projects, while Zhou Huaide opened up and directly charged 10 billion yuan, accounting for 33% of the total.
It means that other projects must be reduced in funding before they can be collected for him.
Professor Li and their team were even more shocked. The total budget of their entire project was only 4 billion.
Compared with Zhou Huaide's controlled nuclear fusion project, their funds are really nothing!
The leader nodded calmly to agree!
Because he believes that Zhou Huaide's failure rate is 100%.
Seeing that the leader was so calm, everyone felt relieved. Although the 10 billion yuan fund was a lot, the key was to have the ability to take it away.
"Commander Zhou, the lion is really wide open! Haha..."
"The prerequisite is that the nuclear fusion stability is controlled within 100 seconds! I don't believe he can research it unless the sun comes out from the west!"
"Haha... If he can do it for 100 seconds, our solar project will be willing to give up automatically!"
Because Professor Li knew that their solar energy projects were also to solve energy problems, but converting solar energy was a low-power energy source! It would not be of much help to future technology!
Controllable nuclear fusion is different. It can burst out powerful energy, and the pulse fusion output power exceeds 16 megawatts. Such powerful power pushes an aircraft carrier worth hundreds of thousands of tons to play!
If the research is successful, it will definitely be a historic turning point, just like the discovery of oil, coal, and gas energy, when humans directly farmed and entered a modern industrial society.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the research and development of controlled nuclear fusion is successful, the entire human society will undergo tremendous changes, and will directly enter the future ultra-modern society from a modern society!
However, all this can only wait, and it will only happen after the research on controlled nuclear fusion is successful.
Professor Li believes that it will take at least 80 years, or more to successfully study controlled nuclear fusion!
So they did not have any hope for Zhou Huaide's ignition experiment.
Everyone looked at the screen talking and laughing, and from time to time they joked with Zhou Huaide!
Zhou Huaide from the control room took a breath again and looked at Jiang Fan. Their eyes were full of firm belief.
"The ignition begins!"
Jiang Fan received the order from Zhou Huaide, sat upright, staring at the data on the main console with a serious face! After finding that there was no problem, he shouted again!
"Laser ignition preparation!"
“3”
"2"
“1”
"ignition!"
The researchers who controlled the laser ignition switch slapped heavily!
Everyone breathed and stared at the Tokmak device on the screen, without blinking!
I saw a sudden white light in the Tokmak device, illuminating the entire scientific research room!
This brightness is rapidly enhanced and quickly reaches the level of dazzling like the sun!
All the personnel in the control room clenched their fists and stared at the reaction of nuclear fusion inside the Tokmak device.
Time is one second, two seconds, three seconds.
Everyone began to get excited from nervousness. Some scientific researchers began to hold on to their colleagues next to them, shaking excitedly, and stammering in their mouths!
"3 seconds, 3 seconds, stable for 3 seconds! That's great! The nuclear fusion we developed can actually stabilize for 3 seconds, haha..."
"The time I've never reached before! It's great, we can finally control nuclear fusion! Haha..."
"Commander Zhou, look, look, be stable, be stable!"
“…”
Everyone was excited and danced. In ten years, they controlled nuclear fusion for the first time. Although it only took a few seconds, it was a historic technological breakthrough for them!
They all knew in their hearts that as long as they could stabilize nuclear fusion, even if they only had a few seconds, it was equivalent to pointing out the direction for them. As long as they worked hard to study in this direction in the future, they would definitely be correct.
Moreover, by obtaining stable data, they can improve the subsequent failure errors based on successful data in the later stage!
They believe that one day we can develop controlled nuclear fusion!
And today is the turning point of their base’s historic moment!
Jiang Fan, who was sitting in front of the main console, did not cheer. What he wanted was the time when controllable nuclear fusion stabilized for 100 seconds, but now it was only a few seconds.
Because he knew that nuclear fusion was more stable and controlled in the early stage, the higher the temperature at a later time, hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperatures were a test for all the materials of the Tocmak device.
Zhou Huaide stood beside Jiang Fan, suppressing his inner excitement and excitement.
"Xiaofan, is there any data problem?"
Jiang Fan had a serious expression and said calmly, "No problem for the time being!"
Conference room of the State Administration of Science and Technology!
Everyone was discussing solar energy projects, but someone suddenly shouted!
"Nuclear fusion is stable!"
The entire conference room suddenly became quiet, and they all looked up at the screen.
I saw a red light ball inside the Tokmak device on the screen! It continued to emit this dazzling light.
"Artificial sun!"
"It's really an artificial sun!"
"This...how is this possible!"
"The nuclear fusion is really stable!"
The chief stood up in shock, rubbed his eyes, and confirmed again that it was the artificial sun, a stable nuclear fusion!
He hurriedly shouted to the technician responsible for remote video.
"time?"
"time?"
Chapter completed!
