It reflects that the temperature in the room continues to rise.

Pregnant with the hottest energy in this galaxy, the plasma trapped in the magnetic field flows quietly in the reaction chamber like an aurora as thin as a cicada's wings.

When the temperature exceeded 100 million, the light, which was more dazzling than the stars, was lit up in an instant.

Endless energy poured out like a tidal wave, freed from the tiny nucleus.

Witnessing the arrival of this moment, everyone in the control room had an excited expression on their faces.

However, no cheers rang out.

Because it's just getting started!

The reporter who pressed the shutter quickly stepped aside, and the researchers in the control room were nervously busy like clockwork gears.

The most essential difference between the demonstration reactor and the experimental reactor is that the latter only needs to complete a few isolated experiments to be considered successful, while the former is based on the practical significance as the consideration of success.

At this moment, the sleeping dragon had been awakened by them, and it was letting out a deafening roar.

As for whether they can harness this star-like energy, it's up to them to put the reins on it!

"Fusion reactions have been observed! The neutron beam is in contact with the beryllium metal layer! ”

"The outfield coil is being adjusted...... The plasma control scheme confirms to be effective! ”

"The confined magnetic field is stable! Confirm that the plasma in the reactor chamber is in good working order! ”

"Tritium was observed at the recovery pump! Liquid lithium neutron recovery system confirmed to be effective! ”

The circulating liquid lithium, like the hot blood in the dragon's body, mixed with the slowly injected deuterium, returned to the reaction chamber, and continued to ignite.

The staff who reported the situation had a slight tremor in their voices.

Tritium successfully recovered!

Following the successful ignition, the second goal of the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project has also been successfully achieved!

Not only his voice, but also his shoulders were shaking with that excitement.

And not just himself.

All the researchers in the reaction room clenched their fists excitedly because of the scene in front of them.

Whether tritium can be recycled as an intermediate product in the reactor is the key to the commercial use of the reactor.

Although the exact recovery rate will not be determined until the end of the experiment, they have at least achieved the expected goal for the tritium observed so far!

And this achievement alone, more than a year of hard work, is not in vain......

At the same time, on the seaward side of the demonstration reactor base, next to a facility shaped like a drain.

Accompanied by security personnel, the engineer who was inspecting the pressure control valve at the heat vent squinted as he looked at the beating dial.

"Yo, it looks like we're in a good situation above."

The doctoral student standing next to him was slightly stunned and puzzled.

"What's good?"

The old engineer smiled and said, "What else could it be besides a reactor?" ”

Slightly surprised, the doctoral student couldn't help but ask, "How do you see it?" ”

"Water pressure, use your brain, you are studying engineering, but it is not enough to just be able to send papers," the old engineer said in a good mood after tapping the pipe next to him with a wrench, "The circulating water cooling system is draining hot water outside, what does this mean?" Tell me about it. ”

"The core is working...... "The core is working," the PhD student asked excitedly, "Then let's ...... Is this a success? ”

The old engineer squinted his eyes, "It's too early to say this, whether it can succeed depends on whether the electricity is generated or not, and whether the power can reach the expected level." Our demonstration reactor is aimed at the Jiangsu Provincial Power Grid, which is said to have a maximum installed capacity of 100,000 megawatts, and it is not so easy to meet the standard. ”

"100,000 megawatts...... Do you think this is possible? ”

"It's impossible now, we have only installed 4 ferrofluid generator sets, and it's only 4000M in the sky." The old engineer smiled, "However, if you install more than a hundred sets of it, it's almost enough!" ”

It is fundamentally different from nuclear fission generator sets.

The ferrofluid generator sets installed on the STAR-2 demonstration reactor are not only relatively small in size, but also have a surprisingly high theoretical engineering capacity on the STAR-2 demonstration reactor.

With only four generating units, the heat generated by fusion cannot be fully utilized, and even with the current amount of fuel, most of the heat is discharged into the sea. In his opinion, adding another 100 ferrofluid generator sets on this basis is completely feasible in engineering.

"One hundred generator sets......" Looking at the dial on the water pipe, the doctoral student sighed softly, "I don't know how much heavy water will have to be burned in a day by then......

The old engineer smiled.

"Probably, it's just over fifty kilograms."

According to the most expensive market, 4,000 yuan per kilogram, 50 kilograms of heavy water is about 200,000.

Only 200,000 yuan of fuel is enough for the entire Soviet Province for one day.

Even if the actual cost is tenfold, this investment is simply too cheap......

……

Of course, the current STAR-2 demonstration reactor naturally does not use so much deuterium.

Fifty kilograms of deuterium per day is consumed, which is the maximum in the state of operation of the reactor at full power.

In the current ignition experiments, fuel is continuously injected into the reactor in mg/s.

After all, there are only four ferrofluid generator sets installed now, and most of the heat is directly discharged.

At this moment, reflect the interior.

At the end of the 40-minute cycle, the heat accumulated in the reactor was continuously channeled into the sea by the circulating water-cooling system, and as the fusion reaction terminated, the temperature of the gas molecules in the core quickly dropped from 100 million to less than 10 million.

From now on, the reactor will be shut down for twenty minutes.

Over the next twenty minutes, the outfield coil will recorrect the shape of the magnetic field in preparation for the next round of cycling.

Although the reactor entered the intermission stage, the staff in the control room did not dare to relax in the slightest and still worked in their respective positions.

Staring at the rows of data and the images drawn in real time on the computer screen, Lu Zhou pondered for a moment before he spoke.

"Turn on generator set No. 1."

According to the feedback data, the results of the last round of experiments were quite perfect.

It's time to push your experiments to the last stage!

"Yes!"

After receiving this order, the staff sitting in front of the computer immediately pressed the button to access the No. 1 generator set.

As with most coastal nuclear fission power stations, the excess heat in the reactor is discharged directly into the sea through a water-cooled system when no electricity is generated. As for the helium ash, which is unique to nuclear fusion, it is recovered by a special device after cooling.

When power generation is required, the interface for heat output is connected to the corresponding generator set.

As much electricity as you need, you can fill as much fuel as you need and connect as many units as you need.

Soon, with the No. 1 generator set connected to the reactor, the second round of experiments was started again.

When the star's energy was released again, it was not only the seawater at the cooling mouth that boiled over the steel behemoth, but also another set of plasma in the magnetofluid generator.

The plasma gas, which is ionized at high temperatures, ejects from the vent and cuts the magnetic inductance lines at high speed, converting the thermal energy in the reactor into a steady stream of electricity.

The researcher, whose eyes were fixed on the screen, sat in front of the computer screen, said in an excited voice.

"The ferrofluid generator set connection port is working properly!"

"The power of the No. 1 generator set is increasing!"

"The power of the No. 1 generator set is fully loaded, reaching the expected 1000M!"

In the end, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and shouted out the excitement.

"We made it!"

Yes, they succeeded!

The energy released by fusion is being continuously converted into electricity and used by them.

With the start of the No. 1 generator set supplying power to the ICRF unit, the entire fusion reactor and the generator set have formed a cycle that can continuously and steadily output power.

There is no form of energy in this galaxy that is purer and closer to its origins.

The cry resonated in everyone's hearts.

In the control room, deafening cheers erupted, and people hugged each other and high-fived each other.

Victory is theirs.

History will not only remember all the people here.

Their victories will also be remembered.

Looking at the researchers who raised their arms and cheered, Lao Pan's face flushed, his fists clenched, his dry lips trembled slightly, and he muttered words that only he could hear.

Academician Wang laughed heroically, and his calloused right hand patted Academician Li Jiangang's shoulder vigorously, excited like a child.

"Why am I telling you? Does Lao Tzu's generator work? ”

"Yes, yes, you're awesome!"

Academician Li raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his eye.

If it was usual, he would definitely not hurt him.

But at this moment, he was only excited in his heart, and he couldn't say those hurtful words.

Standing at the door of the control room, looking at the researchers in the control room, especially at the back of the landing boat, the head of the regiment took off his military hat gently, the Adam's apple moved slightly, and tears welled up in his resolute pupils.

He didn't know what the data in the computer meant.

It's not even clear why these researchers cheered.

But he clearly knew that from this moment on, the light of controllable fusion finally bloomed on the land of China.

The shackles of energy are completely shattered.

There was nothing left to stop her from taking off.

They won this battle......

Cheers echoed in his ears, I don't know how many times he was hugged, Lu Zhou, who was standing in front of the console, made a fist lightly with his right hand, and then released it.

The expression that had been tense since the button was pressed finally gradually soothed a smile.

"yes...... We did it. ”

At this moment, translucent words were floating in his field of vision.

[Congratulations to the host, the "Fusion Light" quest chain has been completed!] 】
