Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 147 Super Tokamak Device

Director Zhao twisted Ye Wenxin's nose and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the computer room of Fuxi Optical Computer first!"

The computer room is not on this floor, but on the twelfth floor underground, and the super-tokamak device is also on this floor.

The floor height of this floor is 30 meters high, and the space is at least tens of thousands of square meters. It is divided into many machine rooms by solid and thick concrete walls.

Ye Wenxin said that this layer of underground and underground soil and stone layers are more than 100 meters long, and there is also a reinforced concrete layer, which is very strong.

Entering the new computer room of Fuxi Optical Computer, Zhong Cheng checked it. This is a super Fuxi Optical Computer with a calculation speed of 500 billion times per second. It has only been installed and debugged for several months.

Director Zhao said that they also built a controllable nuclear fusion simulation program in this optical brain, but the effect was too poor.

The responsible engineer said that within a few years, they could not develop a practical simulation program at all.

At present, this super Fuxi optical computer is only doing some complicated calculations and data analysis, which is a bit overkill.

This optical computer is not connected to the Internet, but it is connected to the national defense scientific research network and has a direct network connection with Fuxi No. [-].

Zhong Cheng took out the mobile hard disk, inserted it into the interface of the optical computer, and sent a signal to 9527, and the Taixu experimental system began to install automatically.

The data of the installation package of the Taixu Experimental System has also reached a capacity of more than 200 terabytes, even if it is installed on this super Fuxi optical computer, it will take more than an hour.

Director Zhao asked Zhong Cheng to go with her to see the long-famous super tokmak device first, and let Zhong Cheng understand the actual situation.

The super tokamak device is located in a machine room at the center of this floor, and there are three layers of steel airtight doors to enter this machine room.

Outside the first door, the three of them put on silver-white anti-radiation suits.

Ye Wenxin explained that although nuclear fusion has no pollution, after the test is completed, a large amount of X-rays will be generated during the discharge process of the super tokamak device, which is still harmful to the human body.

Entering the computer room on the inner floor, Zhong Cheng found that it was a huge space with a length and width of 50 meters and a height of 30 meters, but because of the super tokamak device, the whole computer room seemed crowded.

The main body of the Super Tokamak device is a giant steel tower with a diameter of 10 meters and a height of 15 meters, surrounded by a three-story spiral staircase, and a large number of auxiliary equipment beside it.

At this time, dozens of workers were busy inside and outside this huge installation.

Ye Wenxin said that there is a lot of preparatory work to be done before and after a test of the super tokamak device, so hurry up and do it once a year.

If the super tokamak device is to be upgraded, the time will be even longer.

This large steel tower is actually a condensing tower shell, and the core component of the Super Tokamak device is a vacuum chamber surrounded by giant magnetic field coils.

The outer condensation tower not only cools down the vacuum chamber, but also converts the heat generated by nuclear fusion into power generation. Next to it is a huge turbo generator with a power of 100 million kilowatts.

Director Zhao took Zhong Cheng to the spiral staircase on the second floor of the big steel tower. There was a row of small steel doors on it, and Zhong Cheng got into the vacuum chamber in the middle through one of them.

The vacuum chamber is a ring shape, but the cross-section is not circular. It is an oval D shape with a high top and a narrow middle. It is 1 meters high and more than 6 meter wide. There are two staff members checking the internal cooling screen on the inner wall.

Ye Wenxin said that the high-temperature plasma mixed with deuterium and tritium undergoes fusion reactions in this annular space.

Because the density of the plasma is too small, such a large space can only accommodate 5 kg of deuterium-tritium plasma, but if it is fully reacted, it can provide nearly 2 tons of coal power generation.

It took an hour for Zhong Cheng to finish visiting the super tokamak device.

Although he had already seen this kind of device from the materials, the first time he actually saw it, he was still shocked.

The cost of such a thing is tens of billions. Even if it is successful, it is still a problem to put it into commercial use.

And with such a large volume, it is temporarily useless except for generating electricity.

There is still a lot of work to be done to reduce the cost and reduce the volume!

Back to the computer room of Fuxi Optical Computer, the Taixu experimental system has been installed at this time.

Zhong Cheng's job is to build the super tokamak device in the Taixu experimental system.

In fact, this construction work is much less difficult than building a wind tunnel experimental device. The experimental conditions and working environment are relatively controllable. Although the super tokamak device is complicated and expensive, its principle is very simple.

It is to generate a magnetic field through a superconducting coil to bind the deuterium-tritium plasma in the vacuum chamber, preventing the high temperature generated by fusion from melting the inner wall of the vacuum chamber.

In order to reach the temperature of nuclear fusion, a synchronous cyclotron wave heating system is used in the device, but it is not complicated.

Director Zhao provided the design drawings of this ultra-tokamak device, as well as relevant test record data over the past few decades.

With these materials, it only took Zhong Cheng a week, with the help of 9527, to construct a virtual model of this super tokamak device in the Taixu experimental system.

During this period, Zhong Cheng and Ye Wenxin lived and boarded in the experiment center.

Director Zhao didn't go home either. Instead, Dean Ye has been here three times, which is considered to be a visit to relatives.

Dean Ye is also very interested in this Taixu experimental system.

Zhong Cheng said that he could first install it on several super optical computers in the Academy of Science and Technology. He taught Ye Wenxin, and then Ye Wenxin would teach others.

However, the Taixu Experimental System has too high requirements on the operating environment, except for running on a super optical computer, it cannot be used on an ordinary optical computer for the time being.

Moreover, this is a program developed based on the Shihuang operating system, which cannot be run on traditional electronic computers.

Dean Ye doesn't care, as long as our country's scientific researchers can use it first, this system is of great help to scientific research.

As far as the invention of this system is concerned, it is not too much to give Zhong Cheng an academician.

Marven Ye proudly said that it would be fine to give Zhong Cheng a Nobel Prize.

Zhong Cheng smiled wryly, as long as it can bring benefits to the country, he really doesn't care about the Nobel Prize or anything like that.

The Nobel Prize is just a gimmick created by the Westerners. We Chinese people don't need their handouts. After two years, when he has enough money, he will set up an award fund himself.

Zhong Cheng has been thinking for a long time, he has so much money that he can't run out, instead of putting it in the bank card like this, it's better to take it out and do something practical.

It is a little less now, but in a few years, there will be 3000 to [-] million, which should be enough, and he can still add money to it every year, and there will be no problem of using less and less.

As for leaving the property to the descendants, Zhong Cheng thinks that this is the best property to leave to the descendants.

Zhong Cheng's idea was supported by the three members of the Ye family, and the three members of the Ye family said that their money would be counted together at that time.

Ye Wenxin said: "The name of this fund is Zhongcheng Technology Fund."

Director Zhao said with a smile: "I haven't married yet, my elbow is turned outward!"
