Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Technical limitations mean that the theoretical design of a heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor must be complex and huge.

Many problems require twists and turns before they can be solved or avoided.

Just like the Research Institute and heavy nuclear fusion technology are facing each other across a mountain, the numerous problems in between are like a high mountain.

From the most macro perspective, heavy nuclear fusion technology can be achieved by climbing over this ‘high mountain’.

But when you actually set foot on this high mountain, there are many issues to consider. Because of the "high mountain", you cannot go straight forward, so you can only walk around the mountain. There are "weeds and branches" on the road that you need to reach out to push aside.

Due to technical limitations, we had to go through twists and turns.

However, controlling the overall situation at Modao is equivalent to using the theoretical results at this moment to stand at a higher perspective and always guide the entire research team's path forward.

Even if the work of theoretical design goes bumpy, it will not lose its way in the end.

…

The second half of 1985 and the whole year of 1986.

A group of researchers in the research team of the Heavy Nuclear Fusion Project of the Research Institute, bursting with the strongest enthusiasm, spent an extremely fulfilling time.

For many researchers, this moment has been a long time coming.

I just hope that the final moment of the heavy nuclear fusion project can come as soon as possible.

The theoretical design work of the entire heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor,

In addition to Mo Dao, there are a total of more than 150 core researchers in the Qiusuo Research Institute, thousands of full-time researchers are participating, and the number of assistant researchers is even more exaggerated.

At the same time, a considerable part of Suigu's total computing power was mobilized.

A complex, huge, theoretical design plan for a heavy-nuclear fusion demonstration reactor was gradually improved under the leadership and participation of Mo Dao and the participation of a large number of relevant researchers from the entire Qiusuo Research Institute.

final,

Design work of heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor,

Completed in '87.

The scale of the final theoretical design plan was so huge that Mo Dao only grasped a large framework and context.

If you go deep into every system and every detail of every part in the theoretical design, the amount of information is obviously exaggerated and somewhat scary.

For the completion of the design of such an extremely complex system,

All the researchers were happy and a little nervous.

Even if it is believed that Mo Yuan is in control of the overall situation, there will definitely not be too many problems with the final plan.

But I am still worried about whether this extremely complex system can be stable in actual operation.

As soon as the theoretical design is completed,

Still using Sui ancient wisdom, the huge computing power of human society at this time is used.

A simulation run was carried out on this theoretical design plan.

final,

The result naturally did not disappoint the researchers.

"...It is reported that the heavy-nuclear fusion technology researched by Chief Mo has made new progress. The theoretical design work of the heavy-nuclear fusion demonstration reactor has been completed recently and passed the simulated operation test in Suigu."

"... After that, the Qiusuo Research Institute will start the actual construction of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor. The construction site of the demonstration reactor was finally selected in the uninhabited area on the back of the moon, and will be completed mainly relying on the lunar surface industrial center."

"Let us wait and see and look forward to the birth of the third generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology."

China News Service reported on the progress made in research on heavy nuclear fusion technology at the Qiusuo Research Institute.

Other media followed up at the same time, and the Internet this year was extremely busy.

…

After the theoretical design work is completed and the experiments are run through simulations,

Qiusuo Research Institute did not waste any time in the actual construction work of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor.

The construction work of the demonstration reactor was still directly handed over to Suigu.

As soon as Suigu received the instruction, he began to design a plan based on this huge and complex theory.

Deploy intelligent industrial clusters and produce various equipment and components involved in the demonstration reactor.

Build this equally large heavy-nuclear fusion demonstration reactor.

The location of this heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor is on the moon.

At this time on the moon, especially on the side facing the Earth, there are not many completely free spaces left.

The lunar base can also be said to be a lunar interstellar city. The giant cabin cluster covers an area.

In the future, there will be computing unit clusters that continue to increase the floor space.

And the smart industrial cluster that has formed an important part of the Earth-Moon Industrial Center also occupies a large area.

That is, on the back of the moon, you can still find suitable, large vacancies.

The construction of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor was also carried out here.

…

Researchers working on the heavy nuclear fusion research project of the Qiusuo Research Institute are either waiting and nervously paying attention to the construction progress of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, or assisting in the construction of some heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactors that Suigu is responsible for.

During this period of time, Mo Dao paid more attention to the Proximity series electric propulsion system project.

For Mo Dao, the research work on heavy nuclear fusion technology has been basically completed the moment the theoretical design is completed.

Even if it is built later, there are still some unsatisfactory aspects, but that is already a trivial matter.

In this case, it is natural to consider what will happen after the realization of heavy nuclear fusion technology.

For example, the linkage problem between heavy nuclear fusion reactors and the Proximity series of electric propulsion.

On a long-distance spacecraft, these two technologies must be used at the same time.

In fact, these two technologies are inseparable and will affect each other.

The complete combination of the two technologies is a truly complete propulsion system for long-distance spacecraft.

Perhaps, it should be called ‘heavy nuclear fusion electric propulsion system’.

Heavy nuclear fusion provides energy support for electric propulsion engines, and electric propulsion engines convert the energy generated by heavy nuclear fusion into propulsion for interstellar navigation.

At this moment, an important point that still needs to be implemented in this electric propulsion system is the previous ideas of the Qiusuo Research Institute research team and Mo Dao about the working fluid required for the electric propulsion system.

The by-products of heavy nuclear fusion reactors are used as working fluids in electric propulsion systems.

This greatly improves the actual thrust-to-weight ratio of the electric propulsion system during the entire operating cycle.

In the previous design of the Lin series electric propulsion system, Mo Dao and the project research team left room for changes regarding the working medium.

And these years,

While Mo Dao focused on the research of heavy nuclear fusion technology, the research team of the Proximity series of electric propulsion system research projects did not stop.

At this moment, when Mo Dao turned his focus again, he already had a further research foundation on this issue.

With the advancement of research on heavy nuclear fusion technology, there are already clear answers to the by-products of reactions in heavy nuclear fusion reactors.

then,

During the construction of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor,

Mo Dao led the research team of the Proximity series propulsion system of Qiusuo Research Institute,

It also implements the most important previous ideas for the Proximity series propulsion system.

Research work on new modifications of the Proximity series propulsion system is ongoing.

…

In the remaining months of 1987,

The construction of the heavy-nuclear fusion demonstration reactor and the research on new modifications of the Proximity series propulsion system are advancing simultaneously.

The entire Qiusuo Research Institute is busy with these two super projects.

Then, time entered from 1987 to 1988, and then from 1988 to the beginning of 1989.

The new modification of the Proxim series propulsion system is based on the previous one. Improvement is not as difficult as the initial implementation of the Proxim series propulsion system.

First, a prototype of the nuclear fusion demonstration reactor was built in one step.

Although the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor is much more difficult to build than the previous experimental reactors and experimental equipment,

But not long after, the completion of construction was also announced.
