Chapter 456 ITER Project Ignition Test

March.

For a whole month.

Dozens of rockets were launched by the vast company.

A vast company with an unmanned take-off and landing platform.

Now the traditional launch sites have been largely eliminated.

Because anywhere.

Any location can become a launch site.

Dozens of rockets carried a hundred Mine Dragon robots and Jianlong machines to the moon.

Including these Mine Dragon Robots.

Su Han's number of Mine Dragon robots on the moon has reached two hundred.

Follow this amount.

Approximately seven tonnes of helium-3 can be collected per year.

Although helium-three is a lot, it is still not enough.

Because each dragon power station consumes almost one ton of helium-3 a year.

After completion, the 21 Julong power stations will consume at least 21 tons of helium-3.

Although Su Han has now stockpiled some helium-three.

But at most, it's two years' worth of money.

I want to be persistent.

Production must be greater than consumption.

Su Han's plan is to launch another thousand Mine Dragon robots to the moon.

And he's going to take all the best plots.

Wait until they want to dig it.

All the good places have been dug up.

Although Haohan did not officially announce the purpose of launching so many rockets.

But countries around the world have basically guessed it.

It is already a well-known fact that the material used in the dragon reactor is helium-three.

Su Han will launch so many rockets to the moon.

It is clear that he wants to take all the three helium resources on the moon as his own.

Seeing this, the Mi Federation was of course in a hurry.

In the past, helium three was expensive.

But after all, there is no market.

No matter how expensive it is, it's useless if no one buys it.

But helium three is very different now.

Helium-3 has been transformed into an important raw material for controlled nuclear fusion.

In the future, the price will not be cheap.

On the contrary, the tide will rise.

Naturally, the Mi Federation did not want to be left behind.

It's just that the headache for the official unit of the Mi Federation is that the Moon Goddess project is also underway.

But the efficiency is as low as ever.

It is planned to be completed in three years.

It's been four years and it's still under construction.

The official unit of the Mi Federation is a bit on fire.

NASS is required to complete the construction of the Goddess of the Moon space station within the year anyway.

In any case, it will land on the moon next year, build its own space station and laboratory, and mine the helium-3 resources on the moon as soon as possible.

My Healing Game

NASS can't help but put ducks on the shelves.

It was decided to speed up the construction of the space station of the Goddess of the Moon.

……

May.

The second batch of Shenlong piglets were successfully born.

Compared to the first batch.

The second batch of piglets is very healthy.

Even healthier than piglets born by normal sows.

Shenlong used big data to shield all the previous problems in the cultivation of the second batch of piglets.

Moreover, through big data screening, the optimal solutions in other receptor cultivation are gathered.

Therefore, the health of this batch of piglets has been greatly improved compared to before.

Of course, Su Han was very satisfied with this.

But the experiment isn't over yet.

More animal experiments are needed to prove the absolute safety of the technology.

……

June.

ITER is about to conduct a formal ignition test.

The media of various countries have reported on this at great length.

In fact, since the successful construction of the dragon fusion reactor.

In the area covered by the dragon fusion reactor, the electricity bill has plummeted to more than three cents.

This kind of price makes all countries drool.

Extremely low electricity bills have contributed to the rapid economic development of the region.

The money for the previous kilowatt-hour of electricity.

It is now possible to use three kilowatt-hours of electricity.

The stable power supply system is even more eye-catching for all countries.

Global businesses are also flocking to the city.

With such a low electricity bill, it is natural to be the first to enjoy a wave of dividends.

Not to mention that the price of civil electricity is also very low

For the first time, residents in the area have been able to use electricity freely.

Therefore, all countries are looking forward to nuclear fusion technology.

The ITER project can be said to be the hope of all countries.

ITER's first ignition test was not attended by the media from all over the world.

Still, the major participating countries and experts in the field of nuclear fusion gathered together.

After the start of the test.

ITER has successively passed current, voltage, magnetic field and temperature tests

Ignition tests followed.

A mixed solution of deuterium and tritium is injected into the cavity.

The ITER device is activated.

The plasma is then formed.

Everyone in the hall shouted excitedly.

There was hope in everyone's eyes.

They all seem to see the possibility of fusion power generation.

But what everyone didn't expect was this.

The fusion lasted only a minute...... Soon it stopped because the reaction was out of control.

The congregation was a little wide-eyed.

Although the ITER experimental reactor is designed to carry out nuclear fusion in small quantities multiple times.

But it will take at least 10 minutes or more.

It's only one minute, and there is still a huge gap between the target of ten minutes.

After the Q value came out, everyone was a little disappointed.

The Q value is only 3.25.

Not even the design minimum value of 5 was reached.

After the ITER team went through the inspection.

A second test began.

The second time lasted a little longer, one minute and twenty-three seconds.

But the reaction stopped.

The ITER team then conducted a third and fourth.

The third time was one minute and ten seconds.

The fourth time was just over fifty seconds.

These participating countries are also a little wide-eyed.

Although ITER's stretch state plan is three years.

But the current results are too scummy.

This kind of achievement is not to mention the dragon device.

Even the Huanlong No. 1 of Bilonghan Technology is inferior.

Actually, what these people don't know is.

The core secret of Longhan Technology's nuclear fusion is not entirely a relationship between technology.

The key is that the secret is the artificial intelligence program.

That is, the dragon.

And the so-called intelligent program of human beings is actually to follow a preset script.

It's not intelligent dynamic management at all.

So there is a world of difference in the control system for the plasma.

To put it bluntly, it is not a level of technical system at all.

This was followed by several more activations of the ITER unit.

That's a hundred seconds at most.

Not even two minutes.

This will also be very disappointing for the delegates of various countries.

If there is no such success as the dragon fusion pile.

Countries will not be so disappointed.

But the problem is a contrast.

The dragon fusion pile compares ITER to the next.

It seems that nuclear fusion is once again becoming distant.

Now we can only hope for the post-commissioning stretch state of ITER.

However, countries have since stopped the construction of domestic projects on ring totomacs.

Mainly, some countries have seen the performance of ITER.

There was also some hesitation.

In the end, it is the choice of a ring tokamak.

Or the selection of the model.

Countries also don't know what to do.

In fact, there are also countries that have considered the route of the dragon device.

But the problem is that the dragon device seems very complicated.

What's more, the principle is now unknown to anyone.

Countries simply don't know where to start.

It is also a bit big for countries.

……

ITER's ignition results were also passed out later.
