Chapter 305: Exploding Controllable Nuclear Fusion Reactor
The test and calculation of the plasma turbulence model are still in progress, and even if the supercomputing center of NTU cannot perfectly calculate the model, the test can still be carried out, at most the delayed data output.
For Xu Chuan, this is enough.
First get the first batch of test data, then analyze, adjust and optimize some models, and then apply for a national supercomputer to do the second verification and testing.
Mathematical models, especially for plasma turbulence, are not so easy to do well, they have to be calculated and optimized over and over again.
And after the supercomputing verification is completed, he has to find a way to test the model.
After all, the verification of supercomputing is only a simulation test, and no one knows what will happen when it is actually applied to a controllable nuclear fusion reactor.
To be honest, it was a hassle to use the experimental pile to test his model.
Let's look for China, there is only one experimental reactor in China that is qualified to be used as a model verification, and almost all other research institutes and laboratories are not qualified.
Looking for a foreign country, right? Which foreign laboratory would agree?
Modifying the control models and algorithms of a controlled nuclear fusion reactor is no small matter.
In the unlikely event that there is a lot of spread, the first wall can cause great damage and loss.
Here, Xu Chuan is having some headaches for the follow-up test, and on the other side, Sakura Country, Ibaraki Prefecture, the capital of Edo.
It is home to the QST Fusion Research Institute in Sakura Country, which houses the JT-60SA experimental reactor for controlled nuclear fusion.
The JT-60SA is an upgraded version of the JT-60 (Japan Torus-60) previously operated by the Sakura Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), which entered service in 1985 and has undergone several modifications to become the largest tokamak unit in Sakura Country.
At the QST Institute for Fusion, a group of researchers and mathematicians are busy in the laboratory.
Nearly two months ago, the capital sent them a document that, to the surprise of the QST Institute for Fusion Research, was actually about modeling plasma turbulence in controlled nuclear fusion reactors.
Although it is not clear how this information came about, they found it possible to use this information to build a mathematical model to control plasma turbulence.
After confirming this, the QST Central Fusion Research Institute immediately launched a comprehensive research work, and not only that, but Edotsu also supported their top mathematicians and modeling researchers to help them advance their work.
For the resource-poor Sakura Nation, fusion energy will help reduce or even get rid of dependence on overseas energy.
At present, about three-quarters of their electricity comes from thermal power generation, and almost all of the natural gas and other fuels used rely on imports.
This situation has forced them to step up their strategic plans for other energy development and accelerate technological research to achieve energy self-sufficiency.
This includes controlled nuclear fusion.
After all, this technology has great potential to solve energy problems, and if successful, they will become the top power in the world.
Don't look at the fact that they don't have nuclear weapons, they don't have an equal order, and even the United States troops are stationed on the country, but as long as they want to, mature nuclear power plant technology can be transformed into nuclear weapons at any time.
And the army, what they lack the most is also people, and citizens who have a high belief in the emperor can fight to the death for the country at any time.
Now that we see hope for a solution to controlled nuclear fusion, how can we not make people excited and striving?
"Welcome Mr. Nakano to the QST Institute of Fusion Research to guide the work."
Outside the QST Fusion Research Institute, a middle-aged man in a suit got out of a Toyota vehicle, and at the door, the director of the QST Fusion Research Institute who was waiting here quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Takuma Nakano nodded, and then asked:
"How's your research going? Is the mathematical model working properly? ”
Rin Taro Wu, director of the QST Fusion Research Institute, replied respectfully: "The control model of plasma turbulence has been established, and the image model has been verified using supercomputing, and the model is quite good. ”
"The control algorithm of the JT-60SA test reactor is currently being revised, which is currently in the final stages and can be completed within three days according to the plan, and the new model and algorithm will be used for test reactor control."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Takuma Nakano's face: "Good job, Wu Rin-kun, it seems that we can see the day when the empire will rise again!" I'll give you credit when the test is complete! ”
"Thanks to Nakano's kindness, contributing to the empire is what I should do." A hint of joy flashed in Wu Rintaro's eyes, and with Takuma Nakano's support, he may be able to officially step into politics.
Three days is not a long time, Xu Chuan's mathematical model verification test has not been completely completed, and the QST Fusion Research Institute is about to start using their own 'mathematical model' to control the JT-60SA test reactor.
For Sakura Nation, the launch of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor is undoubtedly a big deal.
On the day of the test, not only officials from the Department of Energy, but also many media reporters arrived.
In the crowd, Gorin Taro deliberately combed an oily back hair, revealing a towering forehead, and the whole person was smiling and refreshed.
Looking at the mathematical model of the supercomputer simulation for plasma turbulence control, the results are undoubtedly quite good.
The control of plasma turbulence in the image-only model is almost perfect, and both the annestinastic radiation power and the energy loss power caused by heat conduction and particle escape are almost up to standard under this control model.
What does this mean?
This means that they can perfectly control the plasma turbulence in the chamber of a controlled nuclear fusion reactor!
It means that as long as their experiment can succeed today, the Empire's controlled nuclear fusion technology will be at the forefront of the world!
It means that he will be the greatest hero of the empire, and a brilliant tomorrow and a brilliant future are beckoning to him!
Under the gaze of countless people and cameras, Rintaro Takeru's face became more and more flushed.
"Report, the preparations are ready, and the experiment is ready to begin." In the control room of the institute, a staff member trotted over and reported loudly.
Wu Rintaro nodded, looked at the camera behind him and the people who visited the experiment with great spirits, and said excitedly: "Everyone, I am very happy to witness the opening of the experiment with me today, this is my honor, the glory of the empire!" ”
"Start the experiment!"
"Roger!"
"Roger!"
“.”
A flurry of replies rang out in the control room.
With the confirmation, the JT-60SA Controlled Nuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor in the QST Fusion Research Institute began to operate slowly, and of course, when the deuterium-tritium fusion raw material was injected into the reaction chamber, the ignition device of the JT-60SA Controlled Nuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor began to operate, and the deuterium-tritium raw material in the chamber was heated into a plasma state.
Immediately, a model for the control of plasma turbulence began to operate with the support of a supercomputer, which controlled the orderly movement of the plasma in the chamber.
The temperature in the reaction chamber began to climb.
In the first experiment, the QST Fusion Research Institute only injected some deuterium-tritium raw materials in small amounts according to the experimental rules, and from the feedback data, there is no doubt that these deuterium-tritium plasmas are almost perfectly bound in the chamber.
After confirming the results of the experiment, there was excitement in the control room!
The results of the initial micro-experiment were successful, and all that remains is to increase the amount of raw materials in order to achieve the effect of normal fusion!
"Increase deuterium-tritium raw materials!" Rintaro Wu did not hesitate to give the order.
"Roger! Deuterium-tritium raw material is being injected! The staff who received the instructions did not hesitate to manipulate and inject the prepared deuterium-tritium raw materials into the chamber.
"If it succeeds this time, then the empire will be the biggest winner on the controlled fusion route! He will also win countless glory and wealth! ”
Rintaro Wu clenched his fists tightly and stared at the project in the control room, it will definitely go well!
I was fantasizing about my future life, but suddenly I heard the exclamations of other staff members!
"The superconducting magnetron system fails! The plasma is out of restraint, and the first wall material is being hit by the plasma and is badly damaged! ”
"Not good, the plasma turbulence in the reactor chamber is getting out of control!"
“.”
At the same time, countless alarms in the control room screamed, and the noisy sounds were mixed together, making Rintaro Wu instantly stunned.
He rushed to the monitoring table, stared at the data on it and quickly asked, "What's the situation!" Why does superconducting magnetron fail suddenly? ”
"I don't know, the plasma turbulence in the reactor chamber is suddenly out of control, and our control system can no longer control the high-temperature plasma!" The staff replied quickly.
"Stop experimenting! Stop immediately"
Gorin Taro decisively gave the order, but it was too late~
As the NIF heat-up antenna heats up, the plasma turbulence in the chamber begins to spiral out of control, and the magnetic field at the periphery can no longer control the plasma inside.
The chamber of the JT-60SA controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor could not withstand this huge pressure, and the furious plasma broke through the entire reactor in an instant like a small hydrogen bomb, forming a violent explosion.
Before Gorin Taro could finish his words, a violent vibration came from under his feet, followed by a deafening sound.
In front of the monitoring station, Wu Rintaro's face was gray, and through the surveillance video, he clearly saw the scene of the explosion.
Although the screen flashes away, you can still clearly see a dazzling fireball expanding in the reactor chamber!
Tens of millions of degrees of heat mixed with powerful shock waves and reactor debris danced wildly in the reaction chamber, damaging everything that can be damaged, including the monitor, and directly black screen damage.
In the control room, there was silence, and everyone couldn't believe the result.
Their core fusion reactor ~ JT-60SA, exploded.
