"Start the power."

With Chen Mo's order, the researcher in charge of the power switch pressed the button in his hand.

"The power started successfully."

"The [Star Ring] field system is working fine."

"The background vacuum pressure is 4×10-6Pa, the water cooling system is started, and it works normally. The deflector is working fine......"

"The B-coil current is being increased at 10,000 amperes...... 100,000 amps...... 200,000 amps...... 1.3 megaamperes......"

After the successful launch of Transwarp, Transwarp's artificial intelligence, together with researchers, began to report on the changes in various data.

In the command center, everyone's eyes are on the LCD screen. The above is the picture of [Star Ring], at this time the Star Ring is preparing to start the work before starting, and everyone is pinching a cold sweat in their hearts, and they can't take their eyes off it.

Artificial intelligence reports data again and again, as long as there are no problems with the star ring, it is great news.

To harness the energy of controlled nuclear fusion, two conditions must be met. The first is to instantly heat deuterium-tritium fuel to 100 million degrees Celsius; The second is to let the fusion reaction last for more than 1,000 seconds.

To achieve the first condition, a very large current must be added to the circumferential field (B-coil) to generate a large enough induced current in the vacuum chamber of the star ring at the beginning of the experiment to accelerate the collisional ionization of free electrons and form a plasma with a sufficiently high temperature.

"Deuterium-tritium fuel is being filled, and deuterium-tritium fuel is being filled...... The ohmic (E-coil) heating coil current has been increased to the maximum value ......"

"The deflector is working fine, the water cooling system is working, the longitudinal field is working..."

Soon, the current and magnetic field reached the predetermined values, and the fuel was recharged, and everyone began to get nervous. The expert academicians on the field even breathed heavily.

The next ignition is key.

In order to minimize the circuit of the circumferential field (B-coil), the current is induced on the field in the vacuum chamber to form plasma with deuterium-tritium fuel.

Chen Mo was relatively calm, this is the experimental data he obtained in the laboratory, using superconducting computers and holographic technology, and also cooperating with the most advanced artificial intelligence of Mo Nu, to simulate hundreds of times. Even if it fails, it won't be too miserable.

After all the preparations were completed and the data was stable, Chen Mo took a deep breath.

"Ignition."

Chen Mo's simple two-word command made everyone's hearts contract unconsciously, and their eyelids jumped. I saw the data on the screen, and there was a huge change in an instant.

"Ignition successful."

"The plasma beam temperature is 80.14 million degrees Celsius, the longitudinal field strength is 10.2 Tesla, the plasma current is 1.4 megaamperes, and the operating frequency is ......"

"The fuel is rushing in, the plasma density is rising, the pressure is rising, the plasma is being heated......"

……

Ignition was successful.

Hearing the report of artificial intelligence, just four words knocked on the hearts of everyone in the command center, followed by applause and cheers, and many researchers had red eyes and cried with joy.

None of them expected that the first test would be successfully ignited, and the plasma temperature had surpassed the 50 million degrees Celsius of the 'superloop'.

After the jubilation, the crowd fell silent again.

Now that the plasma beam has formed, the next question is the duration of the discharge. If they can surpass their previous experiments, it will be an unprecedented breakthrough.

It also means that, in addition to tokamaks and stellarators, a third possible nuclear fusion device has emerged.

As the minutes passed, hearing the data reported by the artificial intelligence, the breathing of many researchers became heavy.

60 seconds have passed, and if the plasma continues to discharge for another minute, it means that this experiment will surpass the record of 50 million degrees Celsius for the 'superring', and they are one step closer to nuclear fusion energy.

99… 100… 101… 102……

When the plasma beam continued to discharge for more than 100 seconds, the laboratory erupted in frantic cheers again. This means that their first [Star Ring] trial has already set a new world record.

Li Jian clenched his fists, his eyes red. They have been working hard all their lives so that one day, controlled nuclear fusion technology can become a new clean energy source on Earth.

Now that he sees hope, Chen Mo, a young man, seems to be synonymous with miracles.

Originally, he didn't have much expectation for this experiment, but he thought to himself that the continuous discharge of the plasma for more than 10 seconds was already a huge success.

But the results were far beyond his imagination, and he didn't know how to express his excitement at the moment.

Next to him, Wan Yuanxi's body was trembling, he had never been so excited for a moment as he was today. In high-temperature plasma research, he is one of the oldest people in the plasma institute, and has almost witnessed the process of China's controlled nuclear fusion project from scratch to the world's leading ranks.

His only wish is to see fusion power plants become a reality in his lifetime.

Originally, I came to Chen Mo's research institute here, with the attitude of learning his new theory, and I didn't think about how much Chen Mo could make a move in a short period of time.

But today, he sees hope.

The first controlled nuclear fusion experiment has surpassed decades of plasma research.

At this time, the mood is both sad and happy, sad because they have been working hard for decades in plasma, and they are happy that they have seen the possibility of controlled nuclear fusion being successfully used.

In addition to Li Jian and Wan Yuanxi, Ke Jianye, Guo Changming and others, all had red eyes.

Outsiders can't understand their mood at the moment, even if the [Star Ring] technology was not made by them, but they also see the hope of Huaxia applying nuclear fusion energy.

They have struggled all their lives for technology, and they can see him benefit the motherland in their lifetime.

Several experts and academicians of the older generation are all in tears at the moment. The plasma has been continuously discharged for 150 seconds, and if it can reach more than 1000 seconds, it means that the [Star Ring] can already use nuclear fusion energy.

Compared with many experts, Chen Mo is much calmer.

While watching the [Star Ring] run, his mind kept flashing the situation of various data, and he was also calculating the possible optimization problems.

"The cooling system is working properly, the deflector is working properly, the longitudinal field is stable, and the angular field is stable ......."

The plasma beam discharge had lasted for 280 seconds, and Chen Mo also thought about it seriously.

Because the instantaneous temperature did not reach hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius at the beginning, which was different from the data in the simulation test, he was not sure how long the plasma would last.

In order for the plasma to operate stably with continuous discharge, the plasma temperature must be raised to more than 100 million degrees Celsius for more than 1,000 seconds to form continuous reaction conditions. Because on Earth, there is no such thing as the sun, and there is no pressure inside the sun to allow the plasma to react spontaneously.

At that time, once the conditions for continuous reaction are reached, the utilization efficiency of deuterium-tritium fuel will be improved again, and tritium self-sustaining will become possible, which can continue to provide a steady stream of energy, and the discharge process of net energy output will be possible.

At this time, dozens of researchers in the command center were reluctant to blink. They are waiting for the moment of history.

After 495 seconds, the highly confined operation of the plasma's continuous discharge finally stopped.

Everyone in the command center cheered wildly.

495 seconds, which is far beyond everyone's expectations. The plasma temperature is nearly 90 million degrees Celsius, and it maintains a continuous discharge for 495 seconds.

This data has exceeded a limit, which is a major breakthrough, and the goal of successful application of nuclear fusion energy is close at hand. If the results of this experiment are released, it will shock the world.

Chen Mo sighed, not too satisfied.

He doesn't want a few minutes of running, but years or even decades. Although this result is already a huge breakthrough, he is still not satisfied. Failure to achieve the net energy output of nuclear fusion is a failure of the experiment for him.

"Now let's start preparing for the second experiment." When everyone was immersed in ecstasy, Chen Mo poured a basin of cold water.
