A month later, in July 2022, a sub-base near Jinghai.

The dispatched personnel gathered in a valley several kilometers away from the refinery plant, and under the leadership of Cao Chuan, after continuous exploration, they finally completed the construction of the first prototype of the fusion energy reactor.

The design of prototype 1 was still quite crude, mainly for the purpose of validating the technology, so after performing multiple "ignition" operations lasting hundreds of seconds to generate a stable current, the prototype that was already a prototype with frequent failures was immediately discarded.

Including the site of the experiment, it was also listed as a forbidden area, even if there was no pollution, and did not want more people to see it, so the area was completely sealed by mining vehicles, and then the records were recorded, and then the prototype 2 was built several kilometers away.

The second prototype is regarded as a fusion energy reactor with practical significance, and after consuming a very small amount of helium-3, it will maintain 1.2 million kilowatts of power generation, which is more than 500% more than the electricity consumption of the lunar base.

The construction of the second prototype lasted for half a month, because it was a large-scale construction, they opened up an area of 20,000 square meters to house huge equipment, as well as other auxiliary devices, leaving enough room for expansion, and the number of new fusion energy reactors could be continuously added in the future, thereby increasing the power generation.

When the construction was almost completed, it was almost August, and I heard that the first fusion energy power station of the lunar base was about to be completed, and the employees who were available applied to come and observe, and in a blink of an eye, there were more than 200 people, wearing the latest light protective clothing developed by the research department, exposed to the open wilderness, and came to the outside of the power station, through the large screen, to see the various values monitored inside the reactor.

The ignition has not yet begun, and there are many discussions below, they have heard that there is a fusion energy power station, and the first time they saw its true face, they wanted to see what it was inside, but unfortunately they couldn't see anything.

Because the real technical secrets were sealed in the reactor core a few meters square, it was not until Xu Bochen, who was personally involved, and other employees did not know the inside story.

Xu Bochen closed his eyes for a while, he still felt as if he was dreaming, and actually led the construction of a truly practical fusion energy reactor, and now, this technology has not been applied on the earth at all.

"At least 30 years ahead." He thought proudly, but unfortunately, it seems that fusion energy technology is the core secret of the East Galaxy Company, and it will definitely not be easily known, let alone spread at will, he is a little regretful, I don't know when the human beings on the earth will have the opportunity to use it.

If all fissile power stations on the earth are converted into fusion power stations, the tense energy situation on the earth will be immediately alleviated, there will be no more radiation pollution, and even human beings will have much more electricity than before to do more things.

While Xu Bochen was thinking about things that would benefit mankind, the employees who were watching below were thinking about things that were a little different from him.

Some are discussing how the reactor is realized, and they use their meagre knowledge of physics to guess, and they can't figure out the technical principles.

Some are discussing when to place fusion reactors on spacecraft, and by then, thanks to the terrifying energy release efficiency of fusion energy, their ships will be able to increase their speeds to 500 km/h, and travel to any planet in the solar system much faster than they do now.

Others don't care about how the technology came about, anyway, in their eyes, even if the East Galaxy Company is really set up by aliens, as long as more black technology is provided, they don't care about anything else. "Haha, with fusion energy, you can support a larger-scale unmanned unit, and the continuous collection of resources on the moon will increase the development speed by more than ten times."

"We felt that we should start a plan to build a fusion energy spacecraft, and when the time comes, we will be able to go to Pluto, and we will be able to cross a long distance of 5 billion kilometers in 100 days at most."

"I'm more interested in fusion energy batteries, with this, mechanical exoskeletons, power armor, and Gundam will have a power source, and I will definitely find a way to get merit and replace one when the time comes." Perhaps it was the fusion energy that was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that when the first reactor in the power station was actually built, everyone's face radiated sincere joy.

Xu Bochen stood up and glanced at Cao Chuan beside him, "Mr. Consultant, the time is almost up, I plan to start the reactor." After he finished speaking, he waited for Cao Chuan for several minutes before he realized that Mr. Consultant was playing with the laptop in his hand, when he heard Nana's voice sound.

"Engineer Xu, let's get started."

Xu Bochen heard that it was the voice of the artificial intelligence of the entire base, but he never considered what the relationship between Nana and Cao Chuan was, and always thought that the two were equal, so he stepped forward.

After nodding around, a countdown screen pops up, and the onlookers notice the change at a glance and focus their eyes. And as the countdown ended, in the depths of the reactor, which was out of sight, a dazzling, dazzling fireball exploded and suddenly stretched, only under the restraint, it did not expand or contract further, but became a stable, only 3.5 meters in diameter of the burning "sun".

Fusion begins!

The magnificent chemical energy produced by fusion is endless, through the high-pressure water around the reactor, it is converted into heat energy, the boiling water flows out through the circulation pipe, and finally it is freed and becomes high-pressure steam, and finally drives the steam turbine into mechanical energy, and finally drives the generator to run, and the current is generated.

The steady power quickly spread in all directions through the wires, and the light bulbs lit up one by one, and the employees who noticed the changes in their surroundings let out a burst of exclamations and looked around.

"The reactor was successfully started!"

"Electricity generation is steadily rising!"

Cao Chuan's face showed joy, raised his head and took the lead in applauding, and the rest of the people saw the consultant sitting in front of him applauding, and hurriedly applauded.

The applause didn't stop for long, and everyone was eager to see if more would happen.

Unfortunately, Cao Chuan did not arrange it, after all, what they built was a factory, not a park that would emit colorful lights, and since the construction of the fusion power station was completed and the reactor was successfully "ignited", there would be no other thing.
