Chapter 286: Exciting Times
"Ball lightning excitation device, enter the first level of preparation ......"
"Fusion Raw Material Transfer System, Entering the First Ready ......"
"Light nuclear water-cooled circulation system, full start ......"
"Reactor protection system, successful start-up ......"
Standing in the general control room, listening to the news coming one after another, and looking at the all-round status information of the reactor transmitted from the monitoring screen, Wu Tao couldn't help but secretly clench his fists. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The light nuclear fusion reactor is a huge system project. Only with the strength of the state can we mobilize resources from all sides in a short period of time and build such a complex system day and night.
Even Ni Fengxue, who has always valued him the most, just talked about secretly scolding Wu Tao because of the progress of the reactor project, which shows how tight he has been urging these days.
At this time, Song Ze appeared behind him and bowed down and said, "Chief Engineer Wu, Commander Xiao is here with the observation group." ”
Wu Tao walked quickly to the observation room next to him, and saw Xiao Zhongqiang, who was dressed in military uniform, walking up quickly, holding his hands and saying, "How sure are you?" ”
"Ninety percent."
"Don't dare to talk nonsense." Ni Manxue hurriedly stopped the conversation, he was afraid that Wu Tao would be convicted for his words, so he hurriedly explained: "Commander Xiao, a light nuclear fusion reactor is more complicated than a heavy nuclear fission reactor. Besides, today is our first experiment, and we will try to ensure success, but we dare not say that we are 90% sure. It's all about gaining experience! ”
Xiao Zhongqiang took off his big cap, stroked the hair on the top of his forehead and said, "Old Academician Ni is right, Wu Tao, you have to answer my question carefully, because this is what Chief No. 1 asked me to ask." ”
"I know." Wu Tao nodded with a smile and said, "Ninety percent is the result of my comprehensive evaluation based on the design and construction of the entire reactor and the situation after its completion today. In fact, I'm also a little nervous right now, and it's not good to make accurate judgments. So please report truthfully to Commander Xiao! ”
Ni Fengxue wanted to stop again, but he heard Xiao Zhongqiang say with an appreciative face: "I just like your temperament as a real man who is not chaotic in the face of danger, okay, I will report it truthfully!" Please go back to the control room, and we'll wait here for good news. ”
Then Wu Tao returned to the general control room, and Ni Manxue said with some concern: "You kid always talks so much, in case of a mistake, you don't even have a way out." ”
Zhao Danyang also said worriedly: "This light nuclear fusion reactor is much more complicated than the heavy nuclear fusion reactor I have seen. Because there are too many key links and details. It's the first time we've done an experiment, and even if you think you're 90% sure, you'll only say 60% of the good......"
Seeing the two old qualifications nervous like this, and then looking at the researchers around them who were looking forward to it, all staring at him nervously, Wu Tao suddenly smiled.
"Rest assured, as long as the fusion process is strictly monitored and controlled according to the process we usually train, we will be 100% successful. So ninety percent just now is already a very modest statement. ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the tense pressure just now suddenly disappeared invisibly.
Wu Tao looked around and suddenly ordered: "Now, check the reactor protection system again!" ”
Song Ze next to him immediately conveyed this order.
Soon, the system self-test results came back and said: "The protection system is operating normally, and the monitoring is normal!" ”
"Activate the ball lightning!"
I saw the huge shield slowly open, revealing a huge hollowed-out ceramic body with a diameter of up to five meters, and the single layer of graphene on it reflected a faint shimmer.
Immediately after that, the switch was turned on, and the warning light at the source suddenly lit up, and then a dazzling faint electric light began to appear on the surface of the huge hollow ceramic body.
The outline of the hollow ceramic body was suddenly unclear on the monitoring screen, which was caused by the fact that the monitoring system was now interfered by the electric field of ball lightning and could not reproduce the real image.
Soon, as the current continues to be injected, the ball lightning quickly stabilizes, and the noise and interference on the surveillance image disappears.
"Start the infrared spectroscopy integrated temperature measurement system and closely monitor the temperature changes at the resonance poles!"
"A thousand degrees!"
"Two thousand degrees!"
“……”
"10,000 degrees!"
"100,000 degrees!"
The temperature at the resonance pole rises faster and faster, and after three minutes, it has reached five million degrees. And the footage transmitted back by the monitoring system is unbearable to look at.
Ni Manxue trembled and said, "Is it time to start feeding?" ”
Wu Tao waved his hand and said calmly: "Wait for another ten seconds!" ”
"But I'm afraid the ceramic body near the resonance pole won't be able to support it......"
Wu Tao was silent, but his clenched fists were already dripping with sweat. Fortunately, ten seconds passed in a blink of an eye, and the temperature of the resonance pole quickly reached 10 million degrees.
"Start the feeding system!"
"Add corrosion inhibitors!"
"Turn on the circulating water pump!"
The white light at the resonance pole shines on the deuterium-tritium raw material that is fused alternately in steps, and suddenly the white light disappears.
The surveillance screen goes blank!
Ni Fengxue and Zhao Danyang couldn't help but look at each other, "Did this successfully trigger light nuclear fusion, or did it not succeed?" Without the surveillance footage, the main control room became blind when it landed......"
Wu Tao said calmly: "Pay close attention to the pressure, temperature and flow rate of the mother tube, and monitor the steam turbine control system. Start the heat balance calculation system to determine whether the light nuclear fusion is successful! ”
"According to the report, the pressure and temperature of the mother pipe continue to rise, and the steam pressure at the inlet of the steam turbine is 17MPa and the temperature is 570 degrees, which has reached the superheated steam standard."
"The steam turbine door is opened, and the ...... is started by the rush"
"The results of the five-minute monitoring preliminarily determined that the incidence of light nuclear fusion reaction was 60%!"
"The results of the test in ten minutes determined that the incidence of light nuclear fusion reaction was 80%!"
"The steam turbine and generator control systems are operating normally, the power output voltage is stable, and the frequency is stable!"
Wu Tao was very sure that through the calculation and estimation of heat, it had been confirmed that the light nuclear fusion reaction had successfully occurred, and the incidence rate reached 80 percent, driving the steam turbine generator to output electricity smoothly, which had met his initial expectations.
Ni Fengxue and Zhao Danyang's wise faces couldn't hide their crazy excitement.
Wu Tao ordered quietly: "Prepare to connect to the grid!" ”
"Turn off the ball lightning excitation device!"
Soon, the scene reported: "The ball lightning excitation device has been successfully closed!" ”
Wu Tao immediately said: "Closely monitor, track, calculate!" Determine whether the incidence of light nuclear fusion reaction is stable, and report any signs of unevenness immediately! ”
Moments later, "Report, the incidence of light nuclear fusion reactions has risen to 85 percent!" ”
"Ninety percent!"
"Ninety percent smooth!"
Immediately after the back-end report: "Grid connection successful!" ”
Wu Tao finally relaxed, looked at Ni Manxue and Zhao Danyang, and said loudly through the main console: "Now I announce that the first light nuclear fusion reactor test has been a complete success!" ”
"Oh yes, it's ......"
"Fantastic......
"Long live Chief Engineer Wu......" (To be continued.) )
