How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

Whoosh!

When Ye Cheng pressed the master control switch.

Almost the entire Jiangcheng's current flowed into the stellarator.

The moment of ultra-high charge made the entire stellarator seem to vibrate.

Then, the tingling sound of electricity even sounded in everyone's ears through the superconducting transmission line.

Everyone's expressions changed, and they were so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

If the load is too large, a disaster is likely to occur.

But luckily it was only a moment.

With the support of Yecheng's advanced technology, the normal temperature superconducting coils manufactured can fully carry such a large current.

After the current passes through the transformer device of the stellarator, it immediately turns into streams of light, which start to run along the equipment in an M shape.

It's like a science fiction movie.

A twisted headband that glowed all over appeared in front of everyone.

"Mr. Ye! The stellarator has been activated!"

Some staff members suppressed their excitement and began to report on the progress of the trial.

The reason why he is called Mr. Ye is because in everyone's mind, Ye Cheng is the chief engineer of this experiment.

"Okay, keep observing!"

Ye Cheng stared at the operation of the star simulator and the various data that appeared on the computer screen.

Ten seconds later, someone spoke again.

"Mr. Ye, the longitudinal magnetic field and the poloidal magnetic field have been generated, which can restrain the plasma in the discharge chamber."

The so-called longitudinal magnetic field and poloidal magnetic field are a measure to protect and prevent the escape of nuclear fusion phenomenon.

Hearing this, Ye Cheng suppressed his excitement and nodded slightly.

"Start anti-field pinch! Increase magnetic field pressure!"

After giving the order, the magnetic field began to slowly compress inward, narrowing the scope of the magnetic field, just to ensure the escape zone of the plasma.

Another minute or so passed.

The assistant's voice sounded again.

"The anti-field pinch has been compressed to the maximum value, Mr. Ye! Request to start ohmic heating and start the laser aiming process."

Say this.

Everyone in the control room was so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

Why?

Because this is the most critical part of the experiment.

Turn on the ohmic heating program and start the exciting aiming program.

It uses a laser generated by a huge current to bombard the tritium and deuterium elements in the discharge chamber.

Let the lighter nuclei of the two elements break free and collide together to fuse into a new heavier nucleus.

The whole process is nuclear fusion!

The principle of hydrogen bomb explosion comes from this.

During the fusion of two lighter nuclei, enormous amounts of energy are released.

This energy release process is the ultimate goal of controllable nuclear fusion!

To put it simply.

Everyone worked tirelessly and tirelessly to create a sunrise.

A real artificial sun!

If there are deviations or problems in this process, all previous efforts will be wasted.

"Start the ohmic heating process! Start laser aiming! Prepare to launch high-energy particles!"

At this moment, even Ye Cheng's heart was beating nervously.

to be honest!

No matter how awesome the system is, all it gives him is words on paper.

Ye Cheng himself had no idea whether it could succeed or not.

If it fails...

Ye Cheng shook his head and watched as the probe in the magnetic field moved slightly and aimed at two elements.

"shooting!"

Following Ye Cheng's soft drink, the assistant decisively pressed the start switch.

boom!

A red light came on.

At this moment, everyone just felt a blur in front of their eyes.

It was as if the whole person disappeared into the three-dimensional world, and the space felt distorted.

After they blinked and recovered, they all showed expressions of ecstasy.

"It's hit! It's hit! Mr. Ye, we've hit it."

Some people exclaimed, and some people kept shouting in surprise.

Ye Cheng raised his hand and suppressed everyone's joy.

nonsense!

It has to hit.

Hitting is not the goal, our goal is to make the temperature reach over 1 million degrees Celsius or even higher.

Only in this way can the nuclei of the two elements break free and collide with each other.

"How much is it now?"

An assistant quickly glanced at the monitor and said, "1500 million degrees!"

Ye Cheng frowned when he heard this.

1500 million°.

This is the temperature of the core of the sun. If placed in the sun, nuclear fusion reactions can already occur.

But placed in the earth's environment, it is far from enough.

After all, the ultra-high pressure contained in the sun can ensure that nuclear fusion occurs successfully at 1500 million degrees.

Since the pressure cannot be achieved, it can only rely on temperature.

"Continue the bombardment! The tentative target is 1.2 million degrees Celsius."

Following Ye Cheng's order, everyone in the audience took a deep breath.

To know.

This is 1.2 million degrees Celsius.

Another eight-fold increase at existing temperatures.

At the beginning of the year, Longguo Hui Provincial Nuclear Energy Research Institute successfully operated the tokamak device for 403 seconds, which was only 6000 seconds of confined plasma operation under 403 million° test conditions.

No matter how high the temperature is, no matter how long the time is, the equipment will be unable to withstand dissolution and collapse.

Now, Yecheng wants to directly raise the temperature to over 1.2 million degrees Celsius?

Everyone was terrified.

I wonder if the star-simulating device they built can withstand it!

"Heating up!"

Seeing the staff's hesitation, Ye Cheng couldn't help but yelled.

"Yes!"

As high-energy particles continued to hit the discharge chamber, the temperature in the chamber increased rapidly.

3000 million°, 5000 million°, 6500 million°…

The temperature in the discharge chamber has exceeded that of the last tokamak test.

All the academicians, including Wang Heping, stared at the equipment for fear of any problems.

But obviously, all worries are unnecessary.

Since Ye Cheng dares to raise the temperature, he is very confident.

7500 million°, 9000 million°, [-]°...

"Mr. Ye, it's [-] million! The machine shows that tritium and deuterium have begun to react!"

An assistant shouted excitedly.

What does it mean to start a reaction?

This means that plasma has begun to appear, and the atoms in the two elements will begin to escape collision.

"Keep heating up!"

Ye Cheng ordered in a deep voice.

How could he not know that plasma can be forced out regardless of whether it is 6000 million degrees or [-] million degrees Celsius.

The difference is just a matter of time.

The longer it goes, the greater the chance that something may go wrong with the device.

At the same time, the higher the temperature, the more energy is produced by the fusion reaction!

Ye Cheng has no time!

We can only give it a try to prove the maximum endurance limit of this equipment.

"Yes!"

At this moment, everyone seemed to choose to believe Ye Cheng unconditionally!

High-energy particles bombarded again, continuing to increase the temperature in the discharge chamber.

until...

1.2 million degrees Celsius!

Extremely high temperature!

boom!

Just after the temperature reached this value, everyone felt the distortion of space again.

A burst of white light flashed by, and if everyone hadn't been wearing protective eyewear, they would have been blinded by the light.

"The fusion is accelerated! Heavier nuclei appear!"

Someone exclaimed.

The white light is gone!

Everyone stared into the test cabin.

But see...

An artificial sun emits a mixture of seven colors and an overall white light, illuminating the entire experimental base!

Test, successful!

Everyone was so excited and just wanted to hug each other and celebrate right away.

Ye Cheng smiled faintly.

This is just the first step towards a successful experiment. There is still some work to do before the experiment is completely successful.

The emergence of the artificial sun can only mean that plasma is successfully generated.

The most important thing is to be able to control the energy it contains and continue to produce fusion reactions.

He suppressed everyone's excitement and said loudly.

"Record the test time and start timing at the same time!"

"Report! The time for fusion to appear is 1 minute and 48 seconds! Start counting now..."

Listening to the assistant's response, Wang Heping didn't think anything of it.

Gong Ma, Gong Song, Gong Liu and others on the side were so excited that they almost went crazy.

1 minute and 48 seconds!

The time it took for fusion to appear has broken the world record!

To know.

Why is it said that controllable nuclear fusion has no commercial value and is still in its infancy from its development to now?

Just because of its severe wear and tear!

It often takes several hours from the start of current input to the generation of fusion.

During this period, countless currents are consumed.

It's like a person spent 1 yuan to produce a dime and produced it for a whole year.

The damage caused cannot be compensated at all.

But now...

Ye Cheng fixed the time at 1 minute and 48 seconds!

what does this mean?

This means that in terms of cost alone, it has been reduced by hundreds of times.

But everyone understood that it was not the time to celebrate yet.

Next comes the top priority.

After the artificial sun is generated, observe how long it lasts and the endurance of the entire device.

Finally, observing its energy is what everyone needs to do now.

Everyone suppressed their excitement and quietly looked at the artificial sun in the stellarator and the timer in the main control room.

10秒、50秒、100秒、200秒、300秒、350秒……

everything is normal!

Whether it's an artificial sun or a star simulator.

Under the detection of monitoring instruments, they are all in a stable state.

Everyone became more and more nervous. When they saw that the time came to 380 seconds, they couldn't help but shout softly.

Dozens of scientific researchers present started counting the time in unison.

381, 382, 383, 384...

401, 402, 403, 404...

Breakthrough!

Everyone had tears in their eyes at this moment.

Breaking through our world record of 403 seconds and continuing to climb!

Also, observe the operating status of the entire equipment.

Everyone knows that.

This is probably just the beginning!

At this moment, Wang Heping and other academicians could no longer bear the joy in their hearts and hugged each other to celebrate.

"Ye Cheng! Mr. Ye! Chief Engineer Ye, we succeeded!"

Everyone cheered and celebrated, the joy was beyond words, and the entire control room was boiling.

Unexpectedly, only Ye Cheng smiled faintly.

"Success?"

"No! We still have one last step to go!"

last step?

Everyone was stunned, wondering what Ye Cheng meant.

Ye Cheng has ordered again in a deep voice.

"Start outputting nuclear fusion energy and supply power in reverse!"

what?

Reverse power supply?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
