I Have a Little Black Hole

Moreover, because the working temperature of the first wall of the nuclear fusion reactor is above 1000 ℃, the instant the plasma bursts, it can reach 2000~3000 ℃, and the low melting point materials such as steel and copper are directly passed.

At the same time, the task of the first wall is to export heat energy, and ceramic materials with high melting point but poor thermal conductivity are basically killed. The current promising candidate material, metal tungsten, has a melting point of 3400°C.

However, tungsten also has the disadvantage of poor plasticity. Under the thermal shock of ion breakdown, thermal stress often causes the surface of the material to crack.

So just to develop the first wall material that meets so many requirements, Lei Tiantang almost scratched his hair. Fortunately, Kuafu is powerful, not only can he exhaustively enumerate many kinds of matching materials through a large number of calculations. Material.

Moreover, they can also operate the robot in the underground laboratory without complaint for 24 hours while conducting the actual test of these materials, which is why they can develop the first wall material currently used in such a short period of time and replace it with other experiments. This process takes at least 5 years!

In addition, in order to make the confinement magnetic field generate a more stable magnetic field, he and Kuafu spent the longest time in the research and development of superconducting materials, because the better the performance of superconducting materials, not only the magnetic field is more stable, but also It is also possible to reduce the volume of the entire nuclear fusion reaction.

The strength of the magnetic field determines the upper limit of density and temperature, and the size of the device determines the upper limit of the confinement time to some extent.

For the current nuclear fusion reactor, the volume is also a topic that everyone cannot avoid. The ITER device itself weighs 23,000 tons, more than three Eiffel Towers!

However, the better the performance of superconducting materials, the more the volume of the entire reactor can be reduced. Therefore, in order to obtain better superconducting materials, the energy that Lei Tiantang and Kuafu put in can be imagined.

System-wide self-check completed! Deuterium-tritium fuel filling completed! Start ignition! With the sound of Kuafu's announcement, the entire nuclear fusion reactor came alive in an instant!

The internal pictures uploaded from the reserved sensors and monitoring equipment instantly made Lei Tiantang extremely excited! The entire vacuum chamber emits a strong light. If these lights are not filtered after passing through the observation equipment, ordinary people will become blind in an instant!

The reactor ignition is normal! The energy output is normal! We succeeded the boss!!! Kuafu shouted excitedly!

Haha...! It's good! It's good! It's not in vain that we have worked so hard for so long! Continue to monitor, after all, the reaction has just begun, and how long you can persist is the key to success!

But even if it doesn't last long,

We can't be considered a failure now, we have used our wits to complete the work that other laboratories need thousands of scientists to complete! Lei Tiantang also shouted happily.

Yeah! This success is the best compliment for our hard work! I believe our reactor can maintain working condition for a long time!

Well! Let's watch it together for a while! Lei Tiantang said while looking at the data displayed by the computer on the console.

Although the monitoring equipment of the entire fusion reactor is in charge of Kuafu, in theory, these computers on the console are not needed.

But without these computer screens, Lei Tiantang would have no way to intuitively feel the data of the entire reactor, and in the future, if this nuclear fusion reactor is to cooperate with various countries and companies, a control system is also necessary.

Therefore, the console is also a part of the nuclear fusion reactor system, and it also needs to be tested for a long time. Otherwise, if there is a problem with some equipment in the reactor and the control system is not monitored, there will be a serious accident.

And with the passage of time, the nuclear fusion reactor that Lei Tiantang and Kuafu worked so hard to develop did not disappoint them, and it has been continuously outputting to the outside for more than 4 hours!

In just 4 hours, this single nuclear fusion reactor has generated more than 5 million kilowatts! Perfectly achieved the design goal!

Boss, it seems that we have really succeeded now! Can the rest of the tests be carried out? Seeing that the first phase of the test has reached the predetermined goal, Kuafu began to prepare for the next test.

Let's start! After 4 hours of continuous and stable output, we can basically confirm that there is no theoretical error in our design, which paves the way for our subsequent development of smaller nuclear fusion reactors!

Although the volume and weight of our nuclear fusion reactor have reached the practical standards of commercial reactors, this volume and weight can only be built into a fixed commercial power generation reactor.

And our ultimate goal is to move the reactor to our spaceship. It is absolutely impossible for the size and weight to be as big as it is now!

Now let's go ahead and verify the replacement part function in working condition of our independent design! This is very important. You can't replace the vulnerable parts other than the core components. You should also stop the reactor and replace it. What practical value does such a reactor have! Lei Tiantang said with a smile.

Yeah, so when we were designing, we racked our brains to design those easily damaged parts into modular parts.

Each component has several separate systems. If a certain component system is damaged, it will not affect the normal operation of the reactor, as long as it is replaced quickly!

Only in this way can the continuous and stable operation of the reactor be ensured. Then I will start the replacement test of parts according to the predetermined plan. Boss, please pay more attention to avoid problems and fail to respond! Kuafu said seriously.

Then Kuafu let the robot control the special equipment and started the replacement test. Of course, in such a short time, there will be no problems with any part of the entire reactor. If it is really necessary to replace the parts after only 4 hours, it means that the reactor is not mature enough.

But Lei Tiantang and Kuafu spent a lot of energy to develop the materials, how could such a problem occur? They have already passed the rigorous limit test, okay?

Therefore, what Kuafu is replacing now are the intact parts that were randomly selected. After all, the test is whether the replacement function of the parts is effective, as long as the replaced parts are no problem.

Boss, after our nuclear fusion reactor has passed all our tests, when are you going to start cooperating with the country? Kuafu asked while operating the robot.
