Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

The first operational test of the helium-3 fusion demonstration reactor was a natural success.

The completion of the helium-3 fusion demonstration reactor and the conduct of this trial operation itself means that Qiusuo Research Institute has solved all the difficulties before the ignition of helium-3 fusion technology.

The ignition of the demonstration reactor is no longer an experiment, but a research project led by Qiusuo Research Institute under the leadership of Mo Dao.

After solving the problem of realizing helium-3 fusion, the final results of many years of research are presented.

Before the trial operation of the helium 3 fusion demonstration reactor began, many core researchers already knew that the helium 3 fusion demonstration reactor could be successfully ignited and believed that the helium 3 demonstration reactor could be successfully ignited.

only,

When the first test run of the helium 3 demonstration reactor began with Modao announcing the test,

In the core reaction area of ​​the demonstration reactor, helium 3 as fuel was heated to an unprecedented 300 million degrees Celsius, and the pressure also rose to an unprecedented level.

Then at the microscopic level inside the demonstration reactor, the helium-3 fusion reaction occurs.

Violent reactions give birth to majestic energy, which is an energy density and energy intensity that deuterium-tritium fusion has never had.

The multi-layered structure and complex system of the demonstration reactor provide a harsh fusion environment for helium 3, and they are like reins to tie up a fierce horse.

Firmly restrain the source of the majestic energy erupting.

at last,

The helium-3 fusion demonstration reactor operated stably for two hours and ended its first operational test according to the scheduled plan.

Mo Dao stood in front of all researchers and technicians and announced the successful ignition of the helium-3 fusion demonstration reactor. The second-generation fusion technology, namely helium-3 fusion, was declared successful.

Since then, people have taken another step closer on the road to fusion energy. In addition to deuterium and tritium fusion, controllable nuclear fusion technology has another option with greater energy density and almost endless energy.

All the researchers, technicians present, and even the old leader and his companions, the reporter from China News Service,

Still excited and excited by it, even shed tears.

Perhaps the realization of helium-3 fusion technology is not as urgent in this era as the realization of deuterium-tritium fusion.

For most ordinary people, helium-3 fusion technology will not change their lives as quickly as the original deuterium-tritium fusion in the short term.

Because currently, deuterium-tritium fusion can still meet their needs.

But none of this affects the realization of helium-3 fusion, which is still an important step in the development of science and technology.

If helium-3 fusion is never achieved,

Then one day in the future, the development of social productivity will inevitably be blocked by energy again.

But now, under the influence of Mo Dao, the problems encountered at the next energy level have been solved in advance.

The realization of helium-3 fusion means that people no longer need to worry about energy sources for a long time to come.

Helium-3 fusion can support more and further fantasies in the human world.

For the past thirty years,

The emotions of researchers involved in helium-3 fusion research are much more direct at this moment.

At the moment Mo Dao announced the successful ignition of helium-3 fusion,

The entire command hall burst into cheers.

Some people couldn't help but stand up, jumping and hugging each other. For a while, except for tears in their eyes, no words could be said in their mouths.

At this moment, Professor Hong, Academician Zhang and others whom Mo Dao was most familiar with had already passed away.

But many core researchers and researchers present, like Professor Hong and others back then, had spent almost their whole lives on the research of controllable nuclear fusion.

"Helium 3 fusion is successful! Helium 3 fusion is successful!"

…

The cheers spread from the Qiusuo Research Institute to the entire country of China.

Different from the original realization of deuterium and tritium fusion, at this moment,

Regarding the news of the successful ignition of the helium-3 fusion demonstration reactor, no one above chose to wait until overnight.

That afternoon, more than two hours after the first ignition operation test of the helium 3 demonstration reactor ended.

The media, led by China News Service, was authorized to announce this good news.

The entire country of China went online, and immediately entered a joyful and joyous atmosphere.

"Today, under the leadership of Chief Engineer Mo Dao, my country's Qiusuo Research Institute has made new breakthroughs in the field of controllable nuclear fusion research."

"The helium 3 fusion demonstration reactor, which was presided over and served as the chief engineer by Chief Engineer Mo Dao, was completed and successfully ignited for the first time."

"Helium 3 fusion technology is realized."

Under the circumstances that everyone can already feel the changes brought about by deuterium and tritium fusion,

The significance of helium-3 fusion no longer needs much to be popularized.

People were excited, celebrating and cheering for this moment.

On various traditional or emerging social platforms, the center of public opinion and topics was instantly occupied by the realization of helium-3 fusion.

"Chief Commander Mo is awesome. I feel like the potential of deuterium and tritium fusion has not been fully tapped yet. Does this mean that our energy is really unlimited?"

"Infinite energy is relative. Our current annual power consumption has increased many times compared to before deuterium and tritium fusion was realized. However, in the past one or two hundred years, we should not be able to use it up."

"Will all the current deuterium and tritium fusion be upgraded to helium-3 fusion? Previously, I thought it was a bit wasteful to have wireless power covering all public areas. Now it seems that there is nothing."

"In the era of deuterium-tritium fusion, we have already had many exaggerated plans. I read through the history of the past thirty years, and I feel that they are all exaggerated. What do you think will change in the era of helium-3 fusion? "

"I don't want to worry about that. My blood is surging right now. I just want to shout loudly, Commander Mo is awesome!"

Even considering helium-3 fusion as a purely technological achievement,

For most people in China, this moment is something to be happy about.

When China News Agency announced this news, it was not dark yet.

But some people still chose to buy some fireworks and set them off immediately.

And at night, it becomes even more lively.

Even inside the Research Institute, looking into the distance, you can see many fireworks blooming under the night sky.

This day, for China, is like the New Year arriving early.

Many people can't stop imagining what a world with more developed productivity and abundant energy would be like.

Now after thirty years,

The size of the country of China has expanded to an exaggerated level just like in the previous life.

At this moment, the realization of helium-3 fusion will be able to support China's more ambitious plans.

The volume is bound to expand at an accelerated rate again, and it is difficult to predict how big it will eventually be at this time.

And outside of China,

Other parties on this day basically expressed their congratulations to China and Qiusuo Research Institute for achieving such scientific and technological achievements.

Regardless of what these other parties really think,

At least on the surface, China had no enemies at this time.

…

That night, night.

Mo Dao stood in front of the window of his residence inside the Qiusu Research Institute,

He and his girl Qin Huaishi held hands together and looked at the fireworks that bloomed in the night from time to time in the distance.

He raised his head again and glanced at the night sky higher up.

In the night sky at the highest point, a dim light point could be clearly seen, moving in the night.

That is the near-Earth space platform in Earth orbit at the moment.

After decades of construction, a near-Earth space platform with permanent personnel and lunar surface bases close to each other has been established.

Even on the ground, its existence can be directly seen with the naked eye at night.

Although it seems, it is still quite small.
