Looking at the tokamak device incorporating thirty grams of deuterium and tritium atoms.

Jin Lao and others looked expectant.

However, after these thirty seconds, the tokamak device was still operating normally.

When the test reached ninety seconds, Mr. Jin and the other academicians present all looked expectantly.

Since reaching one hundred and one seconds, the device will be available for commercial use.

After all, one second of controllable nuclear fusion can generate more than 80,000 kilowatt hours of electricity.

In one hundred seconds, more than 8 million kilowatt-hours of electricity can be generated, which is more than 800 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

And it only consumes one hundred grams of tritium and deuterium.

If we use traditional coal power generation, it will generate more than 8 million kilowatt hours of electricity.

It requires at least 1,100 tons of coal, and it also pollutes the environment.

Mr. Jin excitedly put 101 grams of tritium and deuterium light atoms into the tokamak device.

Then press the start button.

Accompanied by a burst of electric current and a slight vibration.

The tokamak device was officially launched.

Everyone is staring at the data on the computer screen.

Suddenly it felt like one second had become much longer.

It's like waiting at a traffic light for ninety-nine seconds.

It always feels like a long time has passed.

When the running time of the tokamak reached ninety seconds, the eyes of Mr. Jin and others were as big as tombs.

He stared at the data on the computer monitor, skipping second by second.

Every second was torture, until the tokamak survived one hundred and one seconds.

Mr. Jin and the other academicians present couldn't help but burst into warm applause.

The artificial sun developed and manufactured by Li Yifan passed the test perfectly in 101 seconds.

This not only laid its commercial foundation, but also laid the military energy foundation.

"After one hundred and one seconds, Academician Li Yifan's artificial sun will officially embark on its commercial journey."

"It's really amazing."

"I really didn't expect that the tokamak device that I had been tinkering with for a month actually lasted 101 seconds."

"Yes! It took a generation for the energy center to stabilize the artificial sun for one hundred and one seconds."

"A generation! Decades!"

"The key is that other people's teams are still very strong, with dozens of people at every turn."

"We are just academician Li Yifan."

"And it took only a month to achieve a runtime of one hundred and one seconds."

"I have to say, this is a legendary story."

"Are you going to continue testing?" Mr. Jin asked all the academicians present.

Upon hearing Mr. Jin's inquiry, the other academicians present supported the test.

At present, the longest time that nuclear fusion can be controlled is about one thousand seconds.

With this data, the artificial sun developed and manufactured by Li Yifan has a goal.

Seeing that everyone agreed to the test, Mr. Jin did not hesitate.

Put one hundred and ten grams of tritium and deuterium into the tokamak device and start it!

Still running normally!

So one hundred and twenty grams of tritium deuterium.

One hundred and thirty grams of tritium and deuterium, one hundred and forty grams, one hundred and fifty grams...

Until the artificial sun broke through eleven hundred seconds, running time.

Only then did Jin Lao and others stop the experiment.

After all, everyone knows what it means to run successfully for one thousand one hundred seconds.

This tokamak device is no longer something that their aerospace department can evaluate.

Eleven hundred seconds, already a record-breaking time, which will cause an international sensation.

Jin Lao and others, such a big breakthrough can have a press conference.

But they couldn't make the decision on this matter. They could only ask Dean Su Zheng and let him make the decision.

……

On the other side, the Energy Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Fan Zhenzheng and some academicians are testing their artificial sun.

Fan Zhen looked at the artificial sun developed and manufactured by three generations of them, and struggled in his heart.

Currently, the operating time of this artificial sun can only be 970 seconds.

And it’s still the limit, just nine hundred and seventy seconds.

The tokamak devices they built were all produced by chance.

For example, if you complete it eight times out of ten, it is considered a success!

But there is a big gap between this and the artificial sun developed and manufactured by Li Yifan himself.

At least the tokamak device developed and manufactured by Li Yifan is 100% workmanship in the current stable operation of 1,100 seconds.

But at this point, Fan Zhen and the others couldn't do it.

Not to mention increasing the running time of the tokamak device to one thousand seconds.

Fan Zhen started the machine and performed the self-test procedure.

He personally led his team into the tokamak device and inspected the internal hardware one by one.

After confirming that there was no problem, Fan Zhen and others climbed out of the tokamak device.

After performing another system self-check and confirming that there was no problem, Fan Zhen put 970 grams of tritium and deuterium atoms into the tokamak device.

Then pressed the start button.

The tokamak device in front of me started to operate.

Fortunately, this time it was a success.

After seeing the success, Fan Zhen and other academicians became more confident.

Directly put the prepared 980 grams of tritium and deuterium atoms into the tokamak device.

Fan Zhen pressed the start button without hesitation.

The tokamak device started operating directly.

No matter what, their generation must achieve a running time of one thousand seconds.

However, just when Fan Zhen was full of confidence, the computer monitor displayed four big words: Operation Failure!

Could it be that these 980 grams of tritium and deuterium atoms are a hurdle that cannot be overcome?

This 980-gram tritium-deuterium atom experiment has taken three years and has not passed yet.

It's really a bit annoying.

Fan Zhen was very dissatisfied. After performing a self-test on the tokamak, he added 980 grams of tritium and deuterium atoms.

Then press the start button.

Accompanied by the sound of current and acceleration, the tokamak device was already vibrating slightly.

Fan Zhen and all the academicians present stared closely at the workmanship waveforms on the computer monitor.

This work waveform is green from the beginning to the end of the work.

When Fan Zhen and others saw this, the stone hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

As long as the waveform appears green all the way, it means that the tokamak is operating successfully.

Sure enough, after the tokamak ended, the computer displayed the words success.

In the past three years, the controllable nuclear fusion in their energy center has reached a working time of 980 seconds.

Although it failed once, it at least exceeded ten seconds again.

After Fan Zhen performed a self-test on the tokamak, he put 980 grams of tritium and deuterium atoms into the device again, and then started it.

I don't know if it was some luck or something, but the next nine repeated runs passed.

In this way, Fan Zhen and others' confidence will be greatly increased.

Especially as the leader of the energy center, he was extremely excited.

Because the breakthrough in operating time of the tokamak device is not just an advancement in scientific research.

The progress in the operation of tokamak devices is more about the faith of three generations.
