As the first city to ignite a fusion reactor, Jiangcheng has spent a lot of effort in attracting investment and tourism promotion in the past six months, and even secretly played the sign of "Sun City" for a time - but it was immediately stopped by the higher authorities.

But Jiang Cheng obviously doesn't give up, "Sun City" won't let it be called, so "Fusion City" is always fine, right?

All right...... It is also typical to open the window and first lift the house.

As a result, Fusion City has become another code name for Jiangcheng, but compared with Sun City, Fusion City also has "sequelae" - that is, it needs to vigorously promote the safety and environmental protection of controlled nuclear fusion.

In addition, the residential and commercial electricity consumption does not exceed three cents, which is also the slogan of the key propaganda - Jiangcheng wants to reduce the industrial electricity consumption to less than five cents, but this first fusion reactor is originally a verification nature, and it is indeed a bit choking to meet the industrial electricity consumption......

And if industrial electricity consumption also drops, it is indeed a bit too unmartial.

Protected by three police cars, two BYD and one Audi drove off the national highway, bypassing the gate of the officially listed "Guohe Jiangcheng Fusion Power Plant" and driving into the park near a hill behind the power plant.

The gate of the park is guarded by armed police, and there are three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post not far away, and cameras are all over the place.

On the gate, a low-key signboard hangs "Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Center"

……

"Yo, Lao Huo, are you coming over and driving the police car?"

As Ye Ming and Professor Huo got off the bus at the same time, a group of professors who had been waiting here for a long time joked.

"I'm treated with someone, haha!" Professor Huo Liang put Ye Ming's shoulder and laughed, and then the two shook hands with a group of colleagues who had not seen each other in person for many days.

Then everyone looked at the time again, and when they learned that Director Zhang, who was about to arrive, everyone did not go back to the office building, but "walked" at the suggestion of Professor Shao of the Ninth Academy.

So a group of people wandered around the park and chatted while killing time.

Ye Ming walked in the middle of the crowd, he looked at the warehouse not far away and asked, "Have the equipment and parts arrived?" ”

"The last batch that arrived yesterday, and now the lads are numbering, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Let's go, take a look."

Then Ye Ming and the others went to the warehouse - in fact, it is also an equipment assembly room - unlike what most people imagine, the assembly workshop is really not the kind of black technology and high-tech place, just like an ordinary factory.

Not to mention, there were piles of boxes on the floor.

There is a bunch of boxes in it, and it also says Jizhi Technology.

In the center is a giant cylinder with a diameter of three meters, and next to it is a giant ring of about the same size.

These two are the main body of the engine.

Inside the warehouse, a group of young researchers are sorting and sorting each box in order by its number and description—and over the next few days, they'll be working with the utmost care to measure the parts.

Seeing the elders enter the room, the researchers stopped what they were doing.

"It's okay, let's go on, let's just take a stroll." Professor Shao smiled and waved his hand—he was the main person in charge here.

Ye Ming circled around the main body of the engine, and when he saw this big guy, he was extremely emotional.

With his hands on his waist, he looked at the end of the storeroom, which was a hill more than a hundred meters high.

A hole more than 10 meters wide has been excavated in the hill, where various test environments are being assembled and set up, which will be used to test the data after the engine is assembled.

"You say, where is Musk's deuterium-tritium engine built?"

Ye Ming retracted his gaze, looked at everyone and asked.

"I don't know, I didn't hear the wind."

"I didn't hear the wind, that is, there was no sound - the temper of the richest man, but whenever there is any progress, he must be eager to shout so that the whole world knows about it."

And they burst out laughing.

Ye Ming couldn't help but smile.

He can fully understand the mood of these professors - although controlled nuclear fusion is his main design, the specific details are "desperate" boiled up by their gang.

But it is also evil, after this year, these people not only did not see the "old", but all looked red......

Of course, there is no justification for the fallacy that "studying controlled nuclear fusion will promote cell regeneration".

The only explanation is that these young professors have truly ushered in the academic and professional spring.

At this time, Director Zhang's phone called, and when he learned that they were in the warehouse, Director Zhang asked everyone not to move, and he came over immediately......

……

Half an hour later, a group of people gathered in the conference room after visiting the warehouse.

Presiding over the meeting was Ye Ming.

After a simple opening, Ye Ming went straight to the point.

"This time the equipment and components can be in place so quickly, I really have to thank the cooperation of the brother units, but they are not there, so we don't have to applaud."

Everyone laughed - of course there were people squatting here on the side of Erzhong and Dongji, but the level of the people left behind was not enough to get to the conference table today.

Ye Ming smiled and opened the notebook.

Everyone in the venue has changed into Yin Long's notebook.

"The summary of the previous stage, Professor Shao has already passed on the work log, when the time comes, everyone will take a look, just mark it as read, and we will now focus on the next work arrangement."

"Now that the equipment is in place, we have enough time for a week to accept and test all the components, and then finalize the assembly process and processes."

"Of course, the process was completed when the design was finalized half a year ago, and now let's just talk about the process problems and solutions that may be encountered."

Ye Ming clicked on the ppt of the notebook and looked at everyone: "Everyone should be able to see in the notebook that these construction techniques, in fact, with the assistance of Aita, have put forward specific and feasible countermeasures, theoretically, we only need to follow the step-by-step and strict guidance to construct, and there will be no problems." ”

"So this time, we've introduced smart mechanical assembly, and tomorrow my colleague will come over and configure the robotic arm."

Saying that, Ye Ming smiled: "I always feel that we used to be a little too handicraft. ”

Director Zhang nodded thoughtfully: "Don't say it, this kind of non-assembly line manufacturing industrial system is sometimes really a handicraft workshop - you don't know, when the J10 was installed, everyone was still wearing slippers and going into battle bare-chested, and I was carrying a hammer at that time, and I would knock a few hammers where it was uneven......"

The crowd laughed.

"But not anymore." Director Zhang exhaled softly: "If you are an airplane, you can still parachute." Spaceship ...... Where are you jumping? ”

"So we still have to make full use of Aita, although some processes, the robotic arm cannot achieve human dexterity and on-site processing capabilities, but in terms of processes and rules, she has an unbeatable advantage."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Ye Ming pursed his lips and turned the next page.

The meeting continued.

"The assembly period is currently tentatively set at one month – according to estimates, this time is sufficient if there is no major accident, and it is highly likely to be brought forward."

Everyone looked at their notebooks and nodded.

After the order was delivered, they have been using Aita to simulate the construction process and process for the past six months - to put it mildly, they can now close their eyes and have the complete construction process and the site in their minds!

With the wisdom of so many people, coupled with the ability of Aita - even when there is no quantum computer, Aita's computing power is a priority project - it can be said that any problems that may arise in the entire assembly process have been taken into account!

In addition, Aita is responsible for the overall management of the robotic arm......

According to her ability, if there is any major accident...... That can only be said that the luck is indeed a little bad, and it is extremely bad.

"After the engine assembly is completed, three main aspects of testing are completed."

"First, the design and function of the helium-3 fusion reaction, which involves the continuation of the reaction, the retention of temperature and the restraint system, etc., which is the basis for the operation of the entire engine, and this part is tested by Professor Huo."

"The second is the proton exchange power generation function, and the focus of the test is not only proton exchange, but also power storage and power conversion modules. These are related to the design of subsequent helium-3 fusion power generation, as well as the entire spacecraft power supply system. This part was tested by Professor Shao. ”

"The third is the verification of the overall design, including power output, fuel management, power regulation, multi-push surface distribution, etc. This part of the verification is related to the safety of the entire engine and the safety of the entire spacecraft. I'm in charge of this part of the test. ”

"And throughout the testing phase, in order to take into account fuel savings, the time window for the testing phase is not very long."

Ye Ming's eyelids drooped as he spoke, and he groaned.

Everyone looked at him seriously and waited quietly - in view of his previous experience, Ye Ming was starting the "supercomputer" in his mind at this time to calculate the model.

About half a minute later, Ye Ming raised his head again: "With the power adjustment of each section, the time window is about five hours at most - but in order to cope with it, we need to pay at least a month!" ”

There was a look of anger on everyone's faces.

Don't look at Ye Ming talking about a month or something-under his arrangement, the overall time is already close to three months away.

But everyone knows that this is already ...... It's a speed that I couldn't even think of before!

Not to mention anything else, let's take a look at the old beauty Artemis plan, how long has it been postponed? The Tiangong Project was ...... How many more years?

Okay, you said those are the whole project.

Let's just talk about the engine.

Not to mention anything else, the engine of a large domestic aircraft...... How many years have it been?

Can ...... now A controlled fusion engine that surpasses all current engines and realizes the dream of human space travel – or the helium-3 engine!

Counting the beginning of deuterium-tritium fusion, to the present, from scratch...... It's just two years!

This is no longer a "Huaxia speed", but a "cosmic speed"!

Perhaps, in order to truly surpass the cosmic speed, it may be precisely such a "cosmic speed", right?

In silence, Director Zhang took the lead in applauding.

Ye Ming also exhaled slowly, and then looked at Director Zhang with a smile.

"Zhangju, what about your side?"
