Following Lu Zhou's footsteps, the group moved from the main building to the workshop of the assembly center.

When he stood at the door of the factory, Academician Zhang Jianrong looked at everything in the factory, and the whole person was stunned as if he had been hit by petrification.

As for the two researchers behind him, too, they couldn't say a word with their mouths wide open.

I saw that the industrial equipment in the factory was like a non-stop gear, running at high speed on a completely unmanned production line, processing raw materials into the required parts and assembling them. They have seen a lot of domestic processing bases, but it is the first time they have seen a factory that can achieve this level of automation.

Without paying attention to the three who were stunned there, Lu Zhou glanced at his mobile phone and quickly poked his thumb on the screen a few times.

[How much longer?] 】

Xiao Ai: [Right away!] (????????????)???? 】

Soon, an AGV logistics vehicle supported a cylinder with a diameter of about two meters, and the movable door on the side of the plant slowly opened. Then it drove next to the two ferrofluid generator sets that had been processed, and the long-awaited robotic arm completed the final assembly.

It was not easy to recover from the surprise, and Academician Zhang Jianrong closed his mouth and slowly opened it.

“…… This is? ”

Walking to the oddly shaped device, Lu Zhou reached out and knocked on the cylinder, smiled and said.

"This is the acoustic fusion reactor that you see on the drawings, and the accompanying ferrofluid generator set. The shape here may look a little shabby, but anyway, it's installed in the space shuttle, so it doesn't matter if it's ugly or not. ”

The researcher standing next to Academician Zhang Jianrong couldn't help but ask, "Did you just make this thing?" ”

Lu Zhou replied simply.

"Sort of."

Half an hour ago, to be exact.

Production of the two ferrofluid generator sets and the reactor core vessel began at the same time, and was almost complete by the time Lu Zhou left here. While producing these three components, the vacuum isolation chamber next to it was not idle, and the core molds were poured and sealed at high temperatures.

By the time Lu Zhou arrived here with the three of them, Xiao Ai had already completed the assembly of the two magnetofluid generator sets, as well as the seamless connection of the core and the core container. As for the final assembly, it was no longer a challenge and was easily completed.

After settling down, Academician Zhang Jianrong asked.

"Can you show us that? It's running. ”

"Absolutely."

As he spoke, Lu Zhou gestured to the camera in the factory.

After seeing the master's gesture, Xiao Ai, who understood his intentions, immediately operated several mechanical arms to connect the wiring to the reactor.

The control program had been installed and the final commissioning had been completed, and with the heating and ultrasonic generators activated, the entire unit was warmed up and preparations began for the start of the core.

After waiting quietly for about ten minutes, the liquid lithium in the core has been heated to a high temperature of hundreds of degrees, and slowly flows under the drive of the sound field.

At the same time, the air inlet begins to release a mixture of deuterium and tritium that has been heated to a plasma state. These restless bubbles continue to collapse and expand under the ultrasonic sound pressure as they float from the bottom of the container to the top.

Then, with an indiscrete hum, only the green signal lights on both sides of the reactor could be seen lit up, and a huge amount of electrical energy gushed out of the ferrofluid power generation, which had also been preheated, and was transmitted to the outside of the building through a special line......

After waiting for a long time and not seeing any special reaction, Academician Zhang Jianrong couldn't help but ask.

"Already started?"

Lu Zhou nodded and said in an affirmative tone.

"It's already started."

A researcher next to him whispered.

"I don't feel anything at all."

Hearing this, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"Of course you can't see anything here, let's go outside and see."

With that, Lu Zhou turned around and walked outside the factory with three people who were full of doubts in his heart.

Passing through the gate of the factory, a noisy wind blew.

Academician Wang, who was wondering why the wind was blowing from the east and looked at the source, was stunned.

I saw that not far from the factory, several towering windmills were rotating smoothly.

Wind generator?

Wait a minute...... Wrong!

A shock flashed between his eyebrows, and Academician Zhang Jianrong immediately spoke.

"These ...... Is it the reactor that supplies the electricity? ”

Lu Zhou's nod confirmed the guess in his heart.

"Of course." Looking at the row of towering windmills not far away, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "We have to find a place to consume the electricity generated by the fusion battery, and there are no lakes or rivers nearby, so we can only use this way." ”

Before he had time to vent the shock in his heart, Academician Zhang Jianrong turned his head to look at Lu Zhou and hurriedly asked, "What is the maximum power?" That acoustic fusion device! ”

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and spoke.

"Theoretically, the ultimate power can reach 100M, and you only need to control the injection rate of the deuterium-tritium mixture, but the power generation cost of this thing is a bit expensive, and there is no place to consume excess power here, so I won't show you."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhou made a helpless expression.

10M of electrical energy can also be "blown off" by the windmills outside, and if he really wants to increase the power to 100M, I am afraid that he can only find a laser transmitter to convert the energy into laser shooting into the sky.

Although this sentence was an understatement, after listening to Lu Zhou's words, Zhang Jianrong and the two researchers behind him showed shocked expressions on their faces.

100M！

This may not be a very high number, many thermal power plants can reach five or six hundred megawatts now, but know that this thing is not used to power fixed facilities, but "portable" controllable fusion batteries!

Taking the 2 A1G pressurized water reactors on the Nimitz aircraft carrier plus 4 steam turbines as an example, the maximum total power added up to 194M is only 194M, and the weight of a single set of equipment has reached 900 tons!

Although this fusion battery does not look light, its weight is not as terrifying as 900 tons.

And the most important thing is volume.

One of the biggest factors in the launch of nuclear power plants is how to reduce the size of power generation units. With the advantages of this fusion device in terms of volumetric energy density and mass energy density, there is no doubt that it has thrown off at least half a street of the fission reactors used on the world's mainstream nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

And what surprised Academician Zhang Jianrong the most was that this thing was just the first generation of fusion stack batteries.

If this technology is matured, and the maximum power and stability are up, then it will be necessary?!

As for the two researchers standing behind Academician Zhang Jianrong, the expressions on their faces were not only shocking, but also a little complicated.

In fact, before they came here, they didn't believe that the thing called the Fusion Device could actually produce electricity.

However, the facts that unfolded in front of them at this moment shattered their original unwavering thoughts.

Even if they didn't want to believe it was true, they had to admit that he did.

The miniaturization of controlled fusion is indeed completed.

This almost impossible task was indeed accomplished!
