Chapter 37: The Liar
Controlled nuclear fusion base in the north!
The usually busy laboratory has no one at this time.
In the center of the laboratory, there is an oval ball with a height of 3 meters and a width of 5 meters, its shape is silvery-white, and there is a circular base below, which looks like a budding lotus flower waiting to be released.
Looking in from the side observation port, there are many intricate lines and parts.
Looking through these lines, looking inside, there is a circle of yellow metal, the core material in the middle of the Tokmak device, and its main function is to generate a huge magnetic force to restrain nuclear fusion in the center.
Further inside is a circular space, which is not large, with a diameter of 1 meter by 1 meter.
There is a transparent sphere in the center of the circle, which emits irregular currents from time to time, but they seem to be restrained by an invisible space, and float firmly in the center of the circle!
This elliptical sphere full of mystery is the tokmak device modified by Jiang Fan!
In the control room, Jiang Fan sat in front of the main console, and there were six scientific researchers sitting in front of the sub-control console next to him. And Zhou Huaide and other scientific researchers are staring at the screen!
Everyone looked nervous and serious. They all knew in their hearts that the success or failure of this time would determine the fate of the northern base!
If ignition fails, their 10-year study of controlled nuclear fusion will be suspended, and all researchers will be assigned to other research projects!
At this time, Jiang Fan's firm voice sounded in the control room where the needle drop could be heard.
"Power on the external unit!"
"The power on the external unit is on!"
A scientific researcher said in the same firm tone.
With that, the tokmak device on the monitor lit up a circle of light and a buzzing sound!
Jiang Fan then gave a second order!
"Turn on the first-level magnetic ring restraint device!"
"Roger!"
"The first-level magnetic ring restraint device has been turned on!"
A golden glow emanated from within the Tokmak device.
"Report data!"
"1500 rpm! Stable power! ”
"Turn on the second-level magnetic ring constraint!"
"Roger, the secondary magnetic ring restraint is on!"
"Report data!"
"3000 rpm, stable power!"
“……”
With Jiang Fan's instructions, the yellow light of the Tokmak device became more and more intense! The whole laboratory turned golden yellow!
All the footage of the northern base, through remote video, was transmitted to the conference room of the Kyoto General Administration of Scientific Research!
At this time, the chief and the crowd were talking and laughing about something!
"Chief, the northern base is about to enter the ignition link!" A staff member reminded!
"Well, got it! Switch between multi-screen screens! ”
"Roger!"
Then the staff turned off all the lights in the conference room and switched to a multi-screen screen on the projection screen!
This way they can see the Tokmak device from multiple angles!
At this point, the tokmak device on the screen is turned on, waiting for ignition at any time.
I don't know how many times the chief has watched this picture through video in the past ten years, but each time it ended in failure.
Nuclear fusion has never been stable for more than 1 second, and when he saw this picture, he thought of this failure scene by inertia in his mind!
There are many people in the conference room who see the Tokmak device for the first time, and when they see his overall appearance, they feel quite technological!
"This is a tokmak device for controlled nuclear fusion, and the shape design is good!"
"What's the use of a good appearance, it's a pity that the outside is strong and the middle is dry, and there is no practicality!"
"This thing country has invested more than 30 billion! If these funds are invested in the research and development of solar energy equipment, absolutely, Longguo will lead the world in solar energy research and development! ”
After Professor Li finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement!
"Anyway, it's only five minutes, so let's spice up the atmosphere! Hehe......"
"Haha......"
Then everyone laughed!
In the picture of the projection screen, there is a split-screen screen of the northern base control room!
Jiang Fan and everyone's figures are displayed on it!
Zhou Huaide said to the chief through the intercom device!
"Report chief, the controllable nuclear fusion ignition experiment at the northern base is ready, please instruct!"
When the chief heard the report of Commander-in-Chief Zhou Huaide, he said casually into the microphone!
"Let's light the fire!"
"Roger!"
After Zhou Huaide received the chief's order, he nodded at Jiang Fan!
The eyes of everyone in the control room looked at Jiang Fan nervously.
"Laser ignition ready!"
"Laser ignition is ready, ready to ignition at any time!"
Jiang Fan took a deep breath, a lot of fine sweat oozed from his palms, and he clenched his fists!
The voice was so low that it shouted!
"Ignition Countdown ......"
“3”
“2”
“1”
"Ignition!"
After Jiang Fan gave the ignition order, everyone's hearts immediately pinched.
"Click!"
With the sound of a button, everyone's breathing was a little short, and they were silently chanting in their hearts!
"Success!"
"Success!"
"It must be successful!"
They stared at the picture of the Tokmak device, waiting for the fusion inside to change!
However, as time passed, there was no change in the Tokmak device!
It wasn't until 10 seconds had passed that Jiang Fan felt a "chuckle" in his heart, and a bad thought appeared in his mind.
Something is wrong with the tokmak unit?
But he had tested it more than ten times before ignition, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he ask Zhou Huaide to call the chief.
As a result, something unexpected happened!
Zhou Huaide also panicked suddenly, and his voice was a little trembling when he spoke!
"Chief Engineer Jiang, out of ...... Did something go wrong? ”
All the scientific researchers at the scene looked at Jiang Fan with flustered eyes!
Jiang Fan was also panicked at this time, he made it strictly according to the formula drawings of the system, and it stands to reason that there could be no problems......
Conference room of the State Administration of Scientific Research!
When the people in the conference room saw the picture in the video, they were all a little dazed, didn't they say that they would light the fire?
Why is there no reaction?
Even if it fails, the fusion in the tokmak device should react!
"Chief, what's going on?"
"What else could it be? Failed! ”
"The state has invested more than 30 billion yuan, more than 100 scientific researchers, and ten years of research results."
The chief's face suddenly looked a little bad, although the previous ignition experiment failed, but at least the nuclear fusion had a reaction, and the maximum temperature reached 100 million degrees Celsius.
Today's ignition, there was no reaction at the first point!
Isn't that a slap in the face in front of so many people?
Subsequently, the chief scolded Zhou Huaide through the microphone!
"Zhou Huaide, this is the result of your research in a month. I boasted that I had found an expert in controlled nuclear fusion, and that I could study controlled nuclear fusion in a year. I think he's a liar......"
