Chapter 40: Artificial Sun

Northern base control room!

"Chief Engineer Jiang, the laser ignition button circuit has been inspected and repaired!"

Jiang Fan said excitedly, "Are 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, and then sat in front of the main console again.

"Report on the magnetic ring device system?"

"The magnetic ring device system has reached level nine power, and the data is normal!"

"External power supply situation?"

"Data is normal!"

"..."

"Commander Zhou, all data are normal and can be ignited at any time!"

Zhou Huaide's hands were trembling with excitement and he directly turned on the remote call system!

"Chief, the Tokmak device is now back to normal and can be used for ignition experiments at any time!"

The chief was discussing the solar energy research and development project with Professor Li at this time, and heard Zhou Huaide's remote report.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the time. Three minutes had passed since he told Zhou Huaide!

"Xiao Zhou, I will give you another chance to ignite. This time it fails. Tomorrow the northern base will stop any research! All scientific researchers will be transferred to other projects!"

"Okay, I promise you!" Zhou Huaide said firmly.

"Chief, if our nuclear fusion can be stably controlled for 100 seconds, you have to bring back all the original scientific researchers and give us 10 billion in funding!"

"10 billion funding?"

The reviewers next to the chief screamed when they heard Zhou Huaide's words!

Last year, the state spent a total of 30 billion yuan on basic scientific research projects, but Zhou Huaide asked for 10 billion yuan directly, accounting for 33% of the total.

This means that other projects must reduce funding expenditures in order to raise funds for him.

Professor Li and his team on the side were even more shocked. Their total project budget was only 4 billion.

Compared with Zhou Huaide's controllable nuclear fusion project, their funding is really dwarfed!

The chief nodded in agreement calmly!

Because he believes that Zhou Huaide's failure rate is 100%.

Seeing how calm the leader was, everyone instantly felt relieved. Although 10 billion is a lot of money, the key is to have the ability to take it away.

"Commander Zhou, the lion is really open! Haha..."

"The prerequisite is that nuclear fusion is stably 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 energy project will be willing to give up automatically!"

Because Professor Li knows that their solar energy project is also to solve the energy problem, but converting solar energy is a low-power energy! It will not be of much help to future technology!

But controllable nuclear fusion is different. It can burst out powerful energy. The output power of pulse fusion exceeds 16 megawatts. Such powerful power is equivalent to propelling an aircraft carrier of hundreds of thousands of tons!

If the research is successful, it will definitely be a historic turning point, just like the discovery of petroleum, coal and gas energy, and the transition from direct farming to modern industrial society.

It is no exaggeration to say that if controllable nuclear fusion is successfully developed, the entire human society will undergo tremendous changes, and it will directly enter the future ultra-modern society from a modern society!

But all this can only happen after the research on controllable nuclear fusion is successful.

Professor Li believes that it will take at least 80 years, or even longer, for controllable nuclear fusion to be successfully researched!

Therefore, they did not hold out any hope for Zhou Huaide's ignition experiment.

Everyone was talking and laughing while looking at the screen, and from time to time they even made fun of Zhou Huaide!

Zhou Huaide in the control room took another breath and looked at each other with Jiang Fan. Their eyes were full of firm belief.

"Start the ignition!"

Jiang Fan received Zhou Huaide's order and sat upright, staring at the various data on the main console with a serious face! After finding that there was no problem, he shouted again!

"Laser ignition ready!"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"ignition!"

The scientific researcher who controlled the laser ignition switch slapped it hard with his hand!

Everyone held their breath and stared at the Tokmak device on the screen without blinking!

Suddenly, a white light burst out from within the Tokmak device, illuminating the entire scientific research room!

This brightness increased rapidly and soon reached the point of being as dazzling as the sun!

All the personnel in the control room clenched their fists and stared at the nuclear fusion reaction in the Tokmak device.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Everyone began to get excited from being nervous. Some scientific researchers began to grab the colleagues next to them, shaking excitedly, and stammering!

"3 seconds, 3 seconds, it's been stable for 3 seconds! That's great! The nuclear fusion we developed can be stable for 3 seconds, haha..."

"A time that has never been reached before! Great, we can finally control nuclear fusion! Haha..."

"Commander Zhou, look, look, it's stable, it's stable!"

"..."

Everyone was dancing excitedly. For the first time in ten years, they controlled nuclear fusion. Although it only lasted a few seconds, this was already a historic technological breakthrough for them!

They all understand in their hearts that as long as they can stably control nuclear fusion, even if it is only for a few seconds, it will point them in the direction. As long as they work hard in this direction in the future, it will be correct.

And by obtaining stable data, they can later improve subsequent failures based on successful data!

They believe that one day they can develop controllable nuclear fusion!

And today is the turning point of a historic moment for their base!

Jiang Fan, who was sitting in front of the main console, did not cheer for joy. What he wanted was for the controllable nuclear fusion to be stable for 100 seconds, but now it was only a few seconds.

Because he knows that nuclear fusion is relatively easy to control stably in the early stages, but later on, the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees will be a test for all materials in the Tokmak device.

Zhou Huaide stood next to Jiang Fan, suppressing the excitement and excitement in his heart.

"Xiaofan, is there any problem with the data?"

Jiang Fan already had a serious expression on his face and said calmly, "There is no problem for now!"

State Administration of Science and Technology Conference Room!

Everyone was discussing the solar energy project, and someone suddenly shouted!

"Nuclear fusion is stable!"

The entire conference room fell silent instantly, and they all looked up at the screen.

I saw a red ball of light 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!"

"Nuclear fusion is really stable!"

The leader stood up in shock, rubbed his eyes, and confirmed again that it was an artificial sun, stable nuclear fusion!

He hurriedly shouted to the technician in charge of remote video.

"time?"

"time?"
Chapter completed!
