Chapter 159 Controlled nuclear fusion is about to ignite quietly?
A laser generator is a device that ignites a nuclear reactor.

In the reaction Tomac device, although the deuterium solution is heated to an extremely high temperature, it is actually far from the temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees required for nuclear fusion.

At this time, external energy is needed to increase the local temperature of the reactor to hundreds of millions of degrees in a very short period of time.

It forms a purpose similar to ignition. After the nuclear fusion starts, with the continuous addition of raw materials, the nuclear fusion will react by itself.

At this time, the function of the Tomac device changed from the previous heating to the restraint of nuclear fusion.

Based on the above principles, Wang Shengxian added:

"At present, what needs to be improved is the entire control system and the design of the laser generator."

Hearing Wang Shengxian's words, Jiang Ming also nodded, this way of thinking is no problem.

The whole system requires the ability to design software and hardware. According to Cheng Ning's strength, there should be no problem.

As for the laser generator, the Xia Nuclear Research Institute should also have a cooperative unit.

In Xia Country, there are only a few companies that can manufacture such a high-power laser generator, and Cheng Ning must be able to handle it.

"That's right. You can sort out the corresponding plans. After the review finds no problems, we will first make a small device to see the effect."

Jiang Ming made arrangements.

As for the raw material deuterium used in nuclear reactions, it is not very difficult to extract it, and there are many in seawater.

Of course, extracting deuterium from seawater requires a lot of energy to electrolyze water. At present, the cost of deuterium is still relatively high.

However, with the establishment of nuclear fusion nuclear power plants, electricity will become very abundant, presumably the price of deuterium will plummet.

If necessary, a large electrolyzed water plant can be built next to the nuclear fusion reactor to produce deuterium elements for nuclear fusion.

Of course, these are not what Jiang Ming considers, at least not for now. What Jiang Ming needs now is to successfully ignite the nuclear fusion reactor as soon as possible.

To be honest, Jiang Ming is still looking forward to it.

After all, Jiang Ming thought of a lot of technologies later on, all of which require massive energy support.

If the current thermal power or hydropower is used, most of the electricity in the Xia Kingdom will be consumed.Therefore, controllable nuclear fusion is imperative.

I have to say that Cheng Ning and Wang Shengxian are very positive. Seeing the hope of realizing controllable nuclear fusion, they are very hardworking.

It took two days to design the entire nuclear fusion device.

Of course, it is mainly the complete control system, as well as some peripheral devices and civil engineering.

Although the nuclear fusion reactor designed for the first time is not very large, according to Jiang Ming's estimate, it is 1000 billion kwh. According to this scale, a small nuclear fusion reactor can supply the entire Jianglin City with electricity for a year quantity.

This is still the smallest controllable nuclear fusion. According to Jiang Ming's idea, if it is promoted in the future, large-scale controllable nuclear fusion will be established. In the entire Xia Kingdom, 5 buildings will be built, which can basically meet the country's electricity demand.

If 10 can be built, the energy will be used indefinitely.

Thinking of these bright prospects, Jiang Ming became excited.

Looking at the information submitted by Cheng Ning, Jiang Ming checked it carefully.

Although there were a lot of information, with hundreds of pages, Jiang Ming read it meticulously.

After all, this is the first nuclear fusion sample, something that has never been done before, so it must be well prepared.

Only after reading the information did Jiang Ming know how much technology is needed for a controllable nuclear fusion.

It involves power transmission and transformation, energy conversion, superconductors, high temperature resistant materials, laser generators, cooling towers, and a complete set of control equipment.

These devices are all custom-made and have high technical requirements.

It took Jiang Ming five days to read through the entire nuclear fusion data, and then asked Cheng Ning and the others to modify some possible problematic points.

After modification, review again.

In this way, the final plan was finalized after reviewing and revising five times back and forth.

Because Cheng Ning and the others had been authorized by Long Zhiwei, after Jiang Ming confirmed that there was no problem, Cheng Ning arranged for the design and construction.

For the first set of controllable nuclear fusion device, Si Lai considered it and finally put it in Kyoto.

In fact, the nuclear fusion device is going to be built not far from the Charcot Research Institute.

If the follow-up nuclear fusion device can be perfected, this set of equipment will be incorporated into the power supply system of Kyoto. At that time, the entire Kyoto will be completely powered by controllable nuclear fusion.

After the plan was finalized, the entire project began vigorous construction.

According to the construction plan, the entire nuclear fusion reactor covers an area of ​​more than 100 square meters, which is not very large.

If it were a traditional power plant, the specifications that could provide so much power would be hundreds of times larger.

Although it occupies an area of ​​more than 100 square meters, in fact, the most occupied area of ​​the whole device is the huge cooling system.

The cooling system continuously takes out the heat generated by nuclear fusion.

In order to ensure the cooling effect, the cooling tower is very large and has extremely high power.

Although this is just a cooling tower, the technology used is not simple at all.

In order to enhance the cooling effect, there are dense heat dissipation structures in the cooling tower, and these structures form a large area heat dissipation system.

According to calculations, the area used for heat dissipation in this cooling tower alone is as large as the entire city of Kyoto.

It is by relying on such a large heat dissipation surface area that the heat can be conducted in the shortest time.

This kind of huge heat dissipation structure is extremely rare in the world, and it is also the masterpiece of the heat dissipation tower of the Xia National Nuclear Reactor in these years.

Being able to apply it this time was thanks to Long Zhiwei's relationship. Otherwise, with Cheng Ning's ability, there would still be no hope.

The second largest device is the Tomac device for the reaction.

The Tomac device used a large amount of ene alloys for the establishment of high-energy magnetic rings.

The strength of the formed magnetic field is tens of thousands of times higher than that of the earth.

It is such a strong magnetic field that can firmly control the fusion material in the intended reactor area.

Of course, the small superconducting coil that Jiang Ming designed before was used to control the tomak.

Although the entire design plan has been finalized, many materials still require the cooperation of various companies to develop.

Therefore, despite Cheng Ning's vigorous urging, all the materials for controlled nuclear fusion did not arrive until three months later.

The related infrastructure work was completed a month ago.

Therefore, after the materials arrived this time, Cheng Ning arranged for urgent installation.

It took another half a month, and finally, this complicated device was installed.

Jiang Ming was also very excited when he looked at the nuclear fusion device in front of him.

After working hard for so long, it finally paid off.

I saw this set of controllable nuclear fusion device, the whole is a set of oval buildings.

At the front end of the building is the control room for the entire nuclear fusion, which is used to control and monitor the operation of the entire nuclear fusion.

Behind the control room is the inlet for nuclear fusion raw material deuterium, which is used for the pre-processing device of raw materials.

As for the middle spot, that’s where Tomac is in control.

In this position, there is a small superconducting magnetic ring, which is used to ionize the deuterium mixture and raise its temperature to about [-] degrees.

Behind the control tomac is the position of the reaction tomac, which is used to bind deuterium ions, where nuclear fusion takes place.

As for the last end, it is the location of the cooling tower, which is used for the placement area of ​​the nuclear fusion device.

Of course, there are cooling towers in different locations, but they are all small.

The cooling tower at the rear is the core, the largest, and the heaviest task.

Therefore, the cooling tower at this location is independent.

Of course, there should actually be equipment behind the cooling tower, but Jiang Ming hasn't built one yet.

This set of equipment is the power generation equipment.

Because Jiang Ming is not yet sure whether the nuclear fusion reactor can be successfully tested, the generator has not been installed for the time being.

Of course, if you want to install it is also simple.

After all, generators are readily available, but the number required is a bit much.

Jiang Ming, Cheng Ning, and Wang Shengxian led technicians to inspect the entire set of controllable nuclear fusion devices one by one, and rectify the problems found one by one.

In this way, the whole set of controllable nuclear fusion device has been checked by everyone, and there is no problem.

According to the subsection test verification, there is no problem.

The simulation verification has passed, and the final ignition is short.

"Such an important moment, do you want to notify Elder Long?"

A few days before the ignition, Jiang Ming suddenly thought of this.

After all, such an important moment is still very memorable.

It is very likely that the application era of controllable nuclear fusion kicked off from the moment of ignition.

And through repeated simulation verification, the probability of success of the test is very high.

"Have you notified Elder Long?"

Jiang Ming asked Cheng Ning and Wang Shengxian.

"No, Mr. Long probably didn't know that the controllable nuclear fusion has reached such a level that it needs to be ignited."

Wang Shengxian said.

"What, didn't you report to Elder Long?"

Jiang Ming was very puzzled, these two people did not do a good job, they didn't report such important news, it was the subordinate's fault.

"This project has been classified as top secret, and we have no right to report it separately."

Cheng Ning said.

"And Mr. Long made an arrangement before. We are just deputy chief engineers. We have to follow your instructions. Without your arrangement, we can't report."

Cheng Ning continued.

Uh.
Hearing Cheng Ning's words, Jiang Ming was a little speechless.

Dare to love this project, just lead a bunch of people to work on it, and no one pays attention to it?
You know, Jiang Ming hasn't received a single call from Long Zhiwei in the past few months, nor does he intend to ask Jiang Ming to report.

Doesn't Long Zhiwei pay attention?

Impossible, Long Zhiwei knows the importance of such an important matter.

"No way, we have built such a big thing, according to the most conservative estimate, it will cost hundreds of millions, so no one approves it?"

Jiang Ming said strangely.

"About eight hundred million."

Cheng Ning interrupted.

"This is Mr. Jiang. Controlled nuclear fusion is a top-secret project. Except for the three of us, no one can see other people's content. They only know the technology they have come into contact with."

"Actually, according to the information we have received, most people believe that the establishment here is a nuclear physics laboratory. No one knows that this is a controllable nuclear fusion reactor."

Wang Shengxian said.

Well, Jiang Ming admitted that he underestimated the rigor of the top-secret project's process, and also underestimated his own quota in terms of resource allocation.

After all, [-] million, in Jiang Ming's view, is extremely terrifying.

It is also very strange that no one asked me to write a report on the allocation of so much funds.

It seems that the above really don't know that the controllable nuclear fusion will be ignited.

To be honest, Jiang Ming was still waiting for someone from above to give further instructions, and it ended up like this.

Well, thinking of this, Jiang Ming dialed Long Zhiwei's number.

"Old Dragon, controlled nuclear fusion."

Jiang Ming dialed the phone and said directly.

"For the project of controlled nuclear fusion, you are the chief engineer. I have already arranged it. They have full authority to cooperate with you. If there is anything, you can decide it yourself."

Just after Jiang Ming said a few words, Long Zhiwei uttered a series of words.

This made Jiang Ming feel a little overwhelmed.

Good guy, does Elder Long believe in himself that much? Before he said anything, he left the decision to himself.

However, this is the ignition of controlled nuclear fusion, shouldn't you pay attention?

Even after the announcement of controlled nuclear fusion, there should be material for a documentary, right?
This old dragon's heart is too big.

Of course, what Jiang Ming didn't know was that Long Zhiwei misunderstood Jiang Ming's meaning. Long Zhiwei thought that Jiang Ming had encountered some hardship or had a problem with his rights.

Long Zhiwei fully trusted Jiang Ming.

"But, Long Lao, the controllable nuclear fusion has reached the conditions for ignition, why don't you come to preside over the work?"

Jiang Ming opened his mouth and said.

"It's time to light the fire, you should light it, don't worry about me."

Long Zhiwei said subconsciously.

Jiang Ming:.
"What, you said controlled nuclear fusion ignition?"

The next moment, Long Zhiwei seemed to realize something, and hurriedly said.

"Jiang Ming, you're right, are you sure it's the controllable fusion reactor that needs to be ignited?"

Long Zhiwei hurriedly asked Jiang Ming to confirm.

"Yeah, the nuclear reactor is going to be ignited!"

Jiang Ming gave an affirmative answer.

Good guy, Long Zhiwei was stunned, and Jiang Ming's surprise was too great. It didn't take long for Jiang Ming to create controllable nuclear fusion, and it had already reached the point of ignition.

Since Jiang Ming called, it means that controllable nuclear fusion has been successfully researched!

This kind of surprise, this kind of astonishment, even though Long Zhiwei had experienced great storms, he was also a little surprised.

It should be said that Long Zhiwei also attached great importance to the research of controllable nuclear fusion, and after seeing the breakthrough progress of Jiang Ming's research, he immediately transferred Cheng Ning and Wang Shengxian.

It is to speed up the process of nuclear fusion.

But in Long Zhiwei's impression, how could a country's important weapon like controllable nuclear fusion be researched in a short time.

In Long Zhiwei's mind, it is enough to report the progress of this kind of project once a year.

Is the result okay? They have reached the stage of ignition quietly.
