The superconducting coil fixed on the outer edge of the steel behemoth steadily increases the confinement magnetic field until it reaches a certain set value.
Immediately, the fine-tuning magnetic field began to be organized according to the preset values, modifying the strength of each position of the steady-state magnetic field to form a channel that can constrain the plasma flow.
If the former is to clear out an entire field, then the latter is to draw a dedicated runway on the cleared field.
The high-temperature plasma turbulence is like an athlete, moving on the drawn track.
The CNC model, like a camera or a referee, specifically controls these athletes to prevent them from running off the track and causing trouble.
[Steady-state magnetic field strength reaches 40.21 Tesla, goal achieved!]
[The fine-tuning magnetic field has been corrected according to the instructions, and the magnetic field in the reaction chamber has reached the target plan!]
【.......】
【Helium III raw material has been injected!】
[As the ICRF heating antenna is started up, the current temperature has reached 57 million degrees Celsius and is expected to reach 100 million degrees Celsius in three minutes!]
【.......】
The sound of reports one by one continued in the main control room. Every successful report would make everyone's faces flash with joy, but then it was quickly replaced by a dignified and tense atmosphere.
Everyone held their breath and looked solemnly at the various indicators on the general monitoring screen.
Xu Chuan stood in the crowd, quietly watching, listening, and adjusting the timing and parameters of various instructions for the Daybreak Fusion Device.
Soon, the peak reached during the acceptance operation was once again presented to everyone. After checking the operation data and confirming that it was correct, Xu Chuan took a deep breath and issued a new instruction:
"Put in the hydrogen! Start the simulated constrained ignition operation experiment!"
The command voice was clearly visible in the general control. As soon as the words were spoken, the reply from the special control team was already heard.
"receive!"
As the order was issued, the Dawn Fusion Device began a new round of changes.
The plasma turbulence mathematical model of the supercomputing center is constantly expanding cutting-edge data every minute and every second, and generating corresponding constraint magnetic field control schemes in real time.
If the previous action was just that the crawling steel behemoth woke up from its slumber and yawned, then now it will start to move forward along the road.
How far we can go depends on everyone’s efforts during this period!
At this moment, even Xu Chuan's heartbeat accelerated a little.
Standing here to direct the operation of the Dawn Fusion Device, and commanding the experimental device at Princeton PPPL Laboratory in my previous life are two completely different concepts.
Time passed bit by bit, and every second passed very long.
Ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute, two minutes, five minutes...
Every time the Dawn Device broke through its limits, the engineers and researchers in the main control clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. A few of them even dared not breathe. They held it in until their faces turned red, for fear of
Your own breathing will interfere with the operation of the fusion reactor.
At this moment, the steel behemoth crawling on the ground in the core laboratory is gestating the most terrifying energy and temperature in this planet, and even in this galaxy, in its belly.
Looking at the actual 127 million degrees Celsius on the main control screen, Peng Hongxi's old and cloudy eyes were flashing with faintly visible tears, while Zhao Hongzhi, who organized a study trip to the Planck Institute of Plasma Research, was gritting his teeth with a look in his eyes.
With excitement, hope, anticipation and other emotions.
From the injection of hydrogen to now, the running time on the main console has exceeded eight minutes!
This data has already broken the record of seven and a half points set by EAST a few days ago!
More importantly, judging from the reports from each group, the condition of the Daybreak Fusion Device is now quite good!
This means it can continue!
And every minute and every second that follows is creating a new historical record!
On the other side, Wei Guoyi, who was in charge of security, stood upright at the door. Although he could not understand the values and images on the control screen, he could see from the eyes and expressions of everyone in the main control room,
Feel the anticipation and enthusiasm.
The experiment seems to have been quite successful?
Thinking about it, he involuntarily stood up straighter and his eyes fell on the young man standing in position C.
Xu Chuan didn't care about other people's eyes and thoughts. He paid attention to the various data in the general control to make adjustments at any time.
Of course, with the injection of hydrogen and the start of simulated ignition operation, he no longer needs to issue new instructions.
The plasma turbulence numerical control model of the supercomputing center has become the new brain of the Dawn Fusion Device, directing its progress and path.
until......
The time passed all the way to thirty minutes before he spoke again.
"Each group reports on the situation!"
Thirty minutes is a key node in the plan. Xu Chuan needs to decide whether to continue operating or stop based on the condition of the Dawn Fusion equipment.
In fact, except for himself, not many people standing in the general control today think that they can really do this.
After all, with a running time of half an hour, this is really incredible.
It is precisely because of the appearance of this miracle that the voices of the special reporting personnel of each group are trembling.
[The current constrained magnetic field is stable and the external field coil is in good condition!]
[The supercomputing center is operating stably, using 34.7% of the computing power, which can support continued operation!]
[ICRF heating state is stable, the current plasma flow temperature is 128 million degrees Celsius!]
[The load on the first wall neutron wall has reached 1.5MW/㎡, and it is predicted that it will reach the limit and start to cause damage in fifteen minutes...]
【First wall temperature......】
Reports one after another rang out in the main control room. Xu Chuan listened carefully, his brain spinning rapidly, analyzing the situation of the Dawn Fusion Device based on the report information and various data on the main control screen.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Overall, the current Dawn is undoubtedly still stable, and all equipment and parts can continue to be stable, but the first wall temperature and the load on the neutron beam
, has begun to approach the limit.
The remaining time is fifteen minutes, plus the thirty minutes that have been running now, which means forty-five minutes.
If this running time is placed in today's controllable nuclear fusion field, it can be said to be a quite exaggerated or even outrageous data.
But for Xu Chuan, this duration data did not meet his satisfaction.
He originally expected to be able to do it for more than an hour, but now it seems that he may not be able to do it.
As for the specific problem, we have to wait for the subsequent experimental data and results to be analyzed in detail.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said calmly: "Continue to run the experiment, the first wall team will focus on paying attention! The measurement team will do a good job of collecting receipts!"
There is actually not much difference between the running time of half an hour and forty-five minutes.
However, approaching the limit can obtain more and more effective experimental data, which is of great significance.
.......
Fifteen minutes is not a very long time. The ICRF heating antenna is turned off, the current supply to the superconducting coil is stopped, and the plasma temperature in the reactor chamber also quickly drops.
When the entire Daybreak Fusion Device completely stopped operating, the cheers that had been suppressed in the main control room also resounded throughout the world at this moment.
"Awesome! Sichuan God is awesome!"
"Forty-five minute run! We broke the world record!"
"Beautiful! I knew I could do it!"
"Hahahahaha, this time I want to see what else Luyang has to say!"
"..."
During the general control, the cheers were loud, and many researchers and engineers even hugged each other and hammered each other on the back in excitement.
To everyone present, there is no doubt that this is a miracle!
Standing in the crowd, compared to the cheers and celebrations of others, Xu Chuan also had a smile on his face, but he did not look so happy.
On the side, Peng Hongxi obviously noticed his situation, walked over with a smile, and said: "The running time of forty-five minutes is really incredible. It can be said to be a miracle, but you don't seem to be satisfied."
?”
Xu Chuan turned his head and took a look, smiled and said: "It's not bad. Although it has indeed set a new record, it is still some distance from the one hour in my heart."
Hearing this, Peng Hongxi choked for a moment. Seeing Xu Chuan's calm face and even a little dissatisfied with the results, he coughed and asked: "Are you serious? You are not satisfied after forty-five minutes?"
"I was originally surprised when I heard you say at the celebration banquet that the second experiment was set at thirty minutes. Now that it has reached forty-five minutes, I didn't expect you to still be dissatisfied."
"Using a second-hand piece of equipment purchased from the Germanic country and modified it, the first run of the experiment can be completed in forty-five minutes. If the Germanic country finds out, I'm afraid they will regret it in their intestines, right?"
"If they knew the ASDEX device could do this, they would never sell it to you."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "But if the ASDEX device is left in their hands, the record it can create is only a running time of 50 million degrees and a few dozen seconds."
Peng Hongxi smiled and said: "That's true. Your high-temperature superconducting material and plasma turbulence numerical control model played a key role in this experiment."
After a pause, he continued: "This time, I'm afraid that old guy Chen Mingji's face will be smashed by you."
"The 450-second EAST result made him so proud that he publicized it in the news media. He also said in the interview that it would be great if 'Daybreak' could run for 20 seconds. When your 45-minute result came out today, hahahaha
, I really want to see how his face will change later."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan shrugged and said nothing.
He actually doesn't like to do things like slapping others in the face.
This time it was the other party who took the initiative to join in. He was just incidentally, so what could he do?
