"This ...... Let's talk about it with our technical experts. ”

Lin Ju hurriedly appeased the leader, and then motioned for Zhao Xiaowen, who had been incognito for a long time, to step forward.

The latter's hair was disheveled, his face was covered with several purple acne sores, and his eyes were bloodshot under heavy eyelids.

Everyone knew at first glance that this was a young scientist who had worked hard and did not know how many failures he had experienced before making a difficult breakthrough.

Of course, this is deliberate, not to mention that the laser laboratory itself uses more system propulsion and has extremely complete technical information, Lin Ju will not allow the people below to work so hard, even if there is a biological laboratory, there are several drugs that can help.

After being hinted at by Zhong Cheng, he used a needle of 314 that day in order not to show his stuffing, and spent the whole morning in good spirits, and when he went back to sleep for a day, he was full of energy again.

And Zhao Xiaowen played the game day and night upside down for three days in order to become like this, forced himself to brush through several 3A masterpieces, and brushed up on achievements, with serious irregular work and rest and stimulating diet, so he pretended to be seriously overdrawn.

Even a dozen or so expert leaders who were anxious had to give him a thumbs up in their hearts when they saw him like this, and they sighed with emotion.

“…… Blazing Sun is the first generation of laser smelting satellite designed by us, and it is also a technical verification satellite.

What you see is only a part of it, including the main launch head, and the whole body needs a 3.2 megawatt reactor and other devices, with a maximum diameter of 5.5 meters, a length of more than 27 meters, and a total weight of more than 50 tons, which is now only 18 tons. ”

When everyone who listened intently heard such a number, they couldn't help but show surprised faces.

Even the current "part" is larger than the Tiangong-2 space station, and it is a behemoth when placed on the ground, and it is not at all comparable to the "Sky Survey" telescope.

"But rest assured, this is only because many of the new technologies are not mature and inexperienced in the early days, and we have to leave enough redundancy.

Just as the first hydrogen bomb weighed more than 80 tons, the satellite officially put into production will increase the power of the light source by at least 10 times while maintaining the same quality, and only then can the technical advantages be highlighted. ”

Zhao Xiaowen continued to explain as if he was afraid of being uneasy, but the five relevant technical experts present all nodded in agreement and agreed with this statement.

Demonstrators are inherently cobbled, and there are compromised designs everywhere, so it's no surprise that the weight of the structure is wasted, and it's normal in scientific research.

"Chief Engineer Zhao, can this verification machine be ignited and tested now?"

"Of course, we've all tried it, otherwise how dare we declare it successful."

Zhao Xiaowen said a few words to the assistant next to him, who immediately ran to the side and pressed the switch on the wall, and suddenly there was a "click" sound of metal hinge rubbing.

The "wall" directly opposite the Blazing Sun slowly pulled upwards, and people realized that it was actually a heavy metal partition.

On the other side is a slightly larger room, with the concrete structure directly exposed, and a steel stand with a heavy steel block on top of it, and the wall behind it is black of unknown material.

"This is the testing ground, which can be cooled by spraying water, and at the same time creating a dense fog to reduce the power leakage caused by scattering, and this dark room alone costs a lot of money......

Although our light source power is only 80 kilowatts, it also requires a lot of energy to maintain the plasma mirror, with up to 7 megawatts at start-up and at least 2,800 kilowatts for stable operation.

When used in space, it needs hundreds of square meters of heat sink to cool down, but we are much more convenient on the ground, liquid cooling and air cooling can be carried out, if you need it, we can test it in 30 minutes, but please leave here, otherwise the laser scattered by the wall may also cause temporary blindness. ”

Everyone immediately looked at Lin Ju.

"Since everyone wants to see it, let's move over there first."

Lin Ju walked in the front, the rest followed one after another, and the five technical experts all fell behind to observe around.

One of them rubbed his foot hard, touched the wall again, and let out a soft "um".

Seeing this, the companion immediately asked aloud, but saw that the man turned his head again to observe the interior of the room where the "Blazing Sun" was placed, and after looking around, he slowly walked out and explained in a low voice:

"In addition to the metal partition door we saw, the two rooms are basically made of non-metallic materials as a whole, you see, even the walls are paved with things, and the sound is not right when it is warped, it is a composite material."

"Hmm...... This means that there is a leakage of high-intensity microwaves, or electromagnetic waves, so that it can affect such a wide range of metals! ”

"That's right, plasma can only be confined by strong magnets, and although I don't know what compound they use, they can firmly nail the plasma in place...... I'm afraid that most of the electricity is used to maintain the strong magnetic field.

The volume of the plasma lens will not be too large, and how strong will the binding force be in such a small space with a concentration of close to 3 megawatts of electricity?! ”

"Damn, this can be used for nuclear fusion!"

Both of them were taken aback by the discovery, and both looked hellish at each other.

They re-read Ye Changsi's paper before they came, and they were convinced that this technology should still be in its infancy when it was released, and it has only been 8 months, and a substantial breakthrough has been made?

Is it so easy to manipulate plasma?

Both of them had a feeling of doubt about life, and it quickly spread to the other three, and they had a clearer understanding of the technical level of the "Blazing Sun".

Seven or eight leaders were silent and waited for the experiment to begin, and the five technical experts kept whispering, and if it weren't for professional ethics, they couldn't help but want to ask the operators who were busy preparing directly.

After a while, a voice came over the radio from the control room, asking everyone to put their portable electronic devices in a special shielding box, confirming the experts' suspicions.

Zhong Cheng and several officers focused their full attention on the display screen in the darkroom, and they already knew that the test object was a piece of homogeneous steel with a thickness of 1 meter, which was equivalent to the frontal armor-piercing defense capability of mainstream third-generation tanks.

The surveillance footage was so dark that the lenses reduced the brightness by almost a full 90%, barely making out the outline of the steel.

As Zhao Xiaowen said "prepare", the huge cooling system was gradually turned on to full power, and the industrial exhaust fan outside spelled a sharp roar similar to that of a jet engine, making the entire interior buzz through the underground pipes.

After receiving a nod from Lin Ju, the engineers began to electrify the Blazing Sun.

Inside the invisible "blazing sun" verification machine, a plasma mirror with a core space of less than a thumb begins to heat the surface selenide.

The latter transforms into plasma in an extremely short time, and then is firmly bound by the super-strong electromagnetic force to a few tens of microns above the solid surface.

The plasma, which should have been floating like a blazing flame, was arranged in rows, forming thousands of mirrors in a small space, the surface of which was extremely bright and incandescent white, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted, looking like the calm surface of tiny lakes.

On the monitor that was deliberately dimmed in the control room, the original dark picture was instantly filled with a bluish white light, and the modulated display did not make people feel dazzling, but suddenly it flickered completely white for about a second before returning to its original state.

The monitor suddenly returned to normal, and the dark black filter was removed, and people looked at the original iron block:

The square steel block turned into an irregular "concave" shape, and in the center was a bright red lava hole, the upper part of which hung down like melted cream, dripping onto the ground and touching impurities, instantly ignited a cluster of flames, and quickly returned to dark red.
