From black technology to super engineering

The days go by quickly.

For the next half month, Ye Ming lived in Jiangcheng.

On the one hand, he felt the same as all the professors and senior engineers in the research group, and felt uneasy if he didn't see the assembly completed with his own eyes. On the other hand, as the chief designer, he must also stand on the last post.

At the very least, it is the last shift to ignite fusion.

Although the research group has great ambitions and is about to start building a commercial reactor, the construction progress of the power generation unit is obviously lagging behind the fusion reactor.

After the fusion reactor is completed, it is impossible to wait for the stove to be built there, right?

...

On April 20th, the third floor of the Fusion Center.

This central building adopts a hollow shopping mall structure. The center is a huge space of thousands of square meters, and the surrounding floors and rooms are various observation rooms, meeting rooms, and offices.

At this time, the center of the building was already occupied by a huge reactor and scaffolding.

A group of people walked out of the main meeting room on the third floor and stood by the railing one after another, overlooking the fusion reactor condescendingly.

"Such an exquisite design, which is comparable to a miracle of creation, turned out to be only used to boil water..." Professor Chang Wendao was full of emotion.

"Old Chang, what's wrong with boiling water? Do you look down on people who boil water?"

He was succeeded by the deputy chief engineer of the State Nuclear Power Group, who was in charge of the generating units. Before coming to the State Nuclear Power Plant, he was the chief engineer of a large thermal power plant.

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

But at the same time, there are some emotions.

Yes, for such a great miracle as lighting up the sun, now... the most utilized method is to boil water.

"Is there a way not to boil the water?" Professor Huo Liang put one hand on Ye Ming's shoulder, and seeing Ye Ming turn his head, his eyes lit up.

Ye Ming thought for a while and then nodded: "In theory, there must be, and cold nuclear fusion is perfect."

Hearing him talking about cold nuclear fusion, a group of people turned their heads to look at him at the same time.

The so-called cold nuclear fusion is relative to thermonuclear fusion - as we all know, nuclear fusion can only be carried out if it meets the conditions of high temperature and high pressure.

From the point of view of the essence of fusion reaction, it is actually the aggregation of multiple light nuclei into new nuclei and the release of energy at the same time.

The famous Fleischmann-Pons experiment in history showed that using palladium as the cathode to electrolyze heavy water realized "cold nuclear fusion" at normal temperature and pressure. But in the ensuing decades, countless scientists followed suit, and the global conference on cold nuclear fusion has been held more than a dozen times, but it still cannot be reproduced.

Today, cold nuclear fusion has become "civil science", and it is also dubbed "alchemy".

Ye Ming mentioned cold nuclear fusion at this time...

Everyone knows that Ye Ming is not a person who talks nonsense.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Ye Ming coughed: "A few days ago I saw a paper on confinement wells, the author was from the University of Tokyo, and he accidentally obtained A super strong wave field."

"How strong is it?"

"Very strong. It is said that the field peak pressure can be as strong as hundreds of millions of atmospheres."

Everyone was startled, but then Huo Liang showed doubts: "I haven't paid attention to it these days, but I'm afraid it might be a lie? What about the size?"

At this time, Professor Du Miao from the Provincial University said: "It's not like a lie. My research group has also done similar overrun tests. After using different arrays, the highest pressure reached tens of millions. It’s just that in the Ye Dy environment, a strong field wave can be completed by pressurization, so I didn’t think too deeply.”

Speaking of that, Professor Du looked at Ye Ming: "Can this be used for cold fusion?"

"Well... Anyway, there are only two conditions for fusion, temperature and pressure. If the pressure can be as strong as hundreds of billions of trillions, then you can directly hit the atomic nucleus to complete fusion." Ye Ming paused: "Actually, this is also It can be regarded as hot fusion, according to cold fusion, it is a bit too alchemy."

Everyone laughed. The thermonuclear fusion that is about to be ignited is right in front of us. Even if there is another way, we have to wait for the current one to go through.

Then everyone filed down the stairs and formed a circle in front of the reactor.

Everyone's faces were full of joy and emotion, as well as... a trace of tension hidden in the depths of their eyes.

For the past half month, a group of middle-aged and elderly people lived in this building. Almost every accessory and every screw was checked by them, and they checked it again and again, for fear of any mistakes.

Now half a month has passed, and finally the assembly is complete.

Tomorrow will be the day of the first ignition.

It depends on tomorrow whether to leave a name in history or to waste all previous efforts.

The same is true for Mr. Luo of Nationalchip.

He looked through the crowd and looked at Ye Ming.

He saw that among the undisguised nervousness of a group of people, only Ye Ming was the most calm.

...

Eight fifty in the morning the next day.

A team of soldiers patrolled upstairs with horns to make sure everyone had left.

Although controllable nuclear fusion has been proved to be not dangerous both theoretically and from known experiments, Ye Ming and others still evacuated to the nearby control room.

As the fighters stand, the gates close.

In the control room, Ye Ming and Mr. Luo stood together.

On the console in front of the two of them, there were two buttons the size of an egg, one red and one green.

The hour hand pointed to eight fifty-nine.

Aita's voice sounded.

Her voice is solemn and solemn.

"Project Kuafu, the countdown to the first controlled nuclear fusion ignition is one minute."

"Count down thirty seconds."

Mr. Luo and Ye Ming stepped forward at the same time.

"Twenty seconds countdown."

Chief Engineer Luo took a deep breath and looked at Ye Ming. He looked at a group of nervous colleagues from the corner of his eye, suppressed the tension and excitement in his heart, and asked softly, "Ye Ming, are you confident?"

"Um."

Ye Ming nodded heavily.

Of course he has confidence.

Because, the progress of his [Technical Innovation] task, which has not been moved, has reached 90% when the assembly was completed yesterday.

He has always believed that the system must be a "system" that can transcend time and space, and can make real-time feedback through his behavior in the real world.

This is why he has always looked forward to super simulation.

Mr. Luo also nodded vigorously, with a smile on his face: "You will be recorded in history."

Ye Ming nodded with a smile.

He no longer needs to be humble.

"Count down ten seconds."

Ye Ming and Mr. Luo put their hands on the green button at the same time.

Of the two of them, one represents the academic power of fusion reactors, and the other represents the national power utilized by the country in the nuclear industry.

I couldn't be more suitable to be this "kuafu".

Everyone held their breath.

He Mo stood in a corner, clenched his fists tightly.

In her hand was the only turned on mobile phone in the control room.

The mobile phone is on hands-free, leading to the mysterious CNY department.

She knew that the person on the other side of the phone, just like herself, was holding her breath and couldn't help herself.

She looked at the big screen, her chest rising and falling.

On the big screen, there is a fusion reaction simulation animation instantly generated by Aita's super AI through countless sensors.

At this moment, the screen was frozen, and the entire control room seemed to be suspended in time and space.

Only Ita's voice seemed to come from outside.

"five"

"Four"

"three"

"two"

"one"

"ignition!"

As Aita's voice fell, Ye Ming and Mr. Luo, who were like statues, seemed to come to life instantly.

The two looked at each other and exerted force at the same time.

The huge current sound passed through many barriers and passed into people's ears.

on the screen.

A stream of plasma is like a streamer, rushing forward with a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, like an endless void.

"Fusion has started, start timing."

A second later, the applause resounded through the sky and went straight to the sky.

480,000 words, light up the sun, I think it's okay.
