Scholar's Cultivation System Panel
Chapter 409 Ignition that the whole world is paying attention to
As Gong Tao informed Director Song Yunhui of the good news, confirming that there were better solutions for tritium retention and radiation damage, Song Yunhui acted very quickly and quickly held a meeting on the artificial sun project, and specially invited Xu Yun attended and participated.
After the announcement of new high-temperature resistant materials and better tritium retention solutions at the meeting, everyone present became very excited.
After research and discussion, the feasibility of the plan is considered to be very high.
Coupled with Xu Yun's own influence, the plan was unanimously adopted with almost no resistance.
It was decided to renovate the central vacuum chamber while dismantling the peripheral coils of the nuclear fusion device.
Xu Yun and Gong Tao are responsible for the entire project.
Although this will add a lot of work and will significantly extend the construction time of the fifth-generation all-superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device, it is very worthwhile.
Because if it goes well, it is very possible to truly realize controllable nuclear fusion energy.
By then, the development of human civilization will also accelerate again.
This is what anyone dreams of.
that's all.
After discussion between Xu Yun and Gong Tao, they decided to temporarily build a new superconducting coil on the periphery according to the original plan, and then rebuild the vacuum chamber after the high-temperature resistant materials were in place.
Otherwise it may take longer.
After all, materials that are resistant to high-energy radiation are not particularly efficient when synthesized.
It is even more complicated than normal temperature superconducting materials.
It is relatively difficult to gather enough vacuum chambers in a short period of time.
The research laboratory is already quite familiar with the construction of superconducting coils, and there is no need to use liquid nitrogen cooling.
Even if the size of the coil is increased, the process is still fast.
It is also worth mentioning that Xu Yun’s two assistants, Su Lingling and Zhao Kun, two postdoctoral fellows, also participated in this project as they wished. Although they were only responsible for some relatively simple and basic tasks, this experience will be beneficial to them in the future. will be very helpful.
Therefore, both of them work very hard, and they feel like they are getting a lot of blood every day.
Basically, when the materials required to transform the vacuum chamber are in place, the peripheral coils are basically built.
——
"The progress of the next project will depend entirely on you, Xu Yuan. This time it's my turn to take charge."
In the warehouse that day, Gong Tao looked at the materials delivered and reached out to pat Xu Yun next to him on the shoulder, with a bright smile on his face.
During this period of time, he was mostly responsible for building the peripheral superconducting coils.
However, plans such as the renovation of the vacuum chamber and the solution to tritium retention were all designed and proposed by Xu Yun. To ensure the smooth progress of the plan, the overall command must be given to Xu Yun.
Gong Tao was even more eager to do this.
Because he always felt that only if Xu Yun was fully responsible for the project could he stimulate his own attributes.
That is to say, Xu Yun’s mobile phone project did not fail.
Originally, he wanted to leave the construction of superconducting coils entirely to Xu Yun, and he could just do it from the side.
But he was rejected by Xu Yun.
I would say take this opportunity to accumulate more experience.
Now that the peripheral superconducting coils have been built, Xu Yun naturally cannot shirk away from the remaining vacuum chamber issues.
When Xu Yun heard Gong Tao's words, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I thought the other party was still so eager.
He was naturally aware of Gong Tao's thoughts. He just considered that the plan he provided was true, but he had no real experience in building a nuclear fusion device.
If you take over rashly and something goes wrong during the actual operation, the final ignition test experiment will fail.
Then all the efforts were in vain.
That's why he chose to gain experience with Gong Tao when building peripheral superconducting coils.
Of course, this does not mean that he is evading responsibility.
Now that he gives solutions to high energy radiation resistant materials and tritium retention.
I will definitely try my best to complete it.
The thought stayed here, and he immediately made arrangements: "During this period, I have optimized the plan. Now that the materials required for the reaction vessel are in place, it is time to start building the vacuum chamber of the nuclear fusion device."
After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Gong Tao and continued: "I will need the help and support of Academician Gong and everyone next."
"Do not worry."
"You took the initiative to transfer to the Institute of Physics and brought such great technological progress to our Eastern Hyperloop. No one has time to thank you."
"We're all waiting for you to build the new Eastern Hyperloop."
"Everyone, just make arrangements."
Gong Tao responded without any hesitation after hearing the words. It was obvious that he had been holding these words in his heart for a long time.
The conversation between the two did not last long. After confirming the next work arrangements, Xu Yun immediately took action, which can be said to be a race against time.
And as Gong Tao said, others were very excited when they learned that the reaction container was finally being built.
There is no objection to Xu Yun's arrangement.
Although the outside world has temporarily calmed down and there is no big news, the Institute of Plasma Physics is in full swing.
When this fifth-generation fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device comes out, I believe it will definitely bring huge surprises to all mankind.
…
Time passed by minute by minute.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the end of the year will soon come.
It took more than half a year to disassemble the peripheral coils of the nuclear fusion device, rebuild the superconducting coils, and then complete the construction of the vacuum chamber.
But fortunately, the final result is satisfying.
This Eastern Hyperloop, which is larger than before, finally completed all preparations before the Spring Festival.
Ignition experiments are about to take place.
And this is equivalent to a big test of the device.
Everyone is looking forward to the capabilities that the Tokamak nuclear fusion device, which has gathered everyone’s efforts and represents the world’s highest technological level, can demonstrate.
But everyone is very confident about this.
Just because the person responsible for building the core components is Xu Yun, a genius scientist who has created many miracles.
December 20, 2029.
Thursday.
Today is definitely a particularly important day for all members of the Institute of Plasma Physics.
Because today the fuel ignition test of the fifth-generation Tokamak nuclear fusion device will be added.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
It is worth mentioning that any project in which Xu Yun participates will attract worldwide attention.
What's more, it's a project related to human civilization such as controllable nuclear fusion.
So as early as a few days ago, major media began to report on it, announcing that the fifth-generation nuclear fusion device would be ignited and tested today.
At the same time, the entire ignition process will be broadcast live on the entire network.
Therefore, today's ignition test is no longer the focus of the Institute of Plasma Physics alone, but covers everyone in the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that everyone pays more attention to it than building a lunar base.
After all, controllable nuclear fusion is related to everyone’s life.
Take daily electricity consumption as an example. With the realization of controllable nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconducting materials, the price of electricity will definitely drop significantly in the future.
In addition, a controllable nuclear fusion device can be built on the moon to completely solve the lunar energy problem.
By then it will be very simple to build a lunar base.
At the same time, it can mine lunar resources.
There is also the nuclear fusion spacecraft that countless men yearn for.
With this kind of spacecraft, realizing a Mars community is no longer a problem.
It can even allow the spacecraft to travel at 25% of the speed of light to detect other star systems.
So even if the official test results have not yet appeared, countless people across the Internet are already discussing this matter.
Perhaps due to the presence of Xu Yun in this project, domestic netizens are confident in the ignition test results and believe that it is very likely that humans will truly master controllable nuclear fusion today.
Even if someone raised different opinions and felt that Xu Yun had not studied the field of nuclear fusion before, so the nuclear fusion device he built for the first time could not truly achieve controllable and sustainable nuclear fusion energy, they were quickly covered and swallowed up by supportive comments.
"Is controllable nuclear fusion really coming? I'm so excited!"
"One year after the breakthrough of room-temperature superconducting materials, the most anticipated controllable nuclear fusion will also be realized. Humanity's technology tree is climbing at a rate that is simply cheating."
"I can only say that mankind is really lucky to have Academician Xu."
"If I can see the realization of nuclear fusion in my lifetime, I really have no regrets."
"Brother, where are we now? With Academician Xu solving the controllable nuclear fusion device, how late can nuclear-powered spaceships come? Maybe our generation will still have the opportunity to become citizens of Mars."
“It’s so exciting!”
"I feel like everyone should not have too high hopes. Although we are the world leader in the field of nuclear fusion devices, the last time it only lasted more than a thousand seconds, which is far from truly controlling nuclear fusion."
“It’s enough to make obvious progress, but how can it be truly achieved?”
"Academician Xu is indeed very talented, but he has not studied the field of controllable nuclear fusion devices. Although he was transferred to the Institute of Physics this time, it is probably because of room temperature superconducting materials, so it does not mean that Academician Xu will definitely be good at this project. A complete success."
"Anyway, I just believe in Academician Xu. Who knows what the result will be until the last second?"
…
The debate among netizens and people from all walks of life is still ongoing.
Many people later held different opinions.
And each has his or her own reasons.
But the final result still depends on the actual test data of Oriental Super Ring.
So when there were still two hours before the test time started, everyone was already in the live broadcast room waiting patiently.
Of course, it is not just the country that is paying close attention to this test of the century. Many forces overseas are also paying close attention.
Everyone knows the significance and value of controllable nuclear fusion. Once the Eastern Hyperloop experiment is successful, the world structure will complete the final transformation at that moment, and no force will be able to change anything.
At that time, they will need to formulate strategies in time, either to show goodwill or to seek deeper cooperation.
Otherwise, you will be making yourself unhappy.
After all, if you click on the technology tree of nuclear fusion, a qualitative leap will basically occur.
It is not comparable to other technologies.
At this moment, in the white palace across the city, the cabinet meeting room was once again filled with people.
However, this time they were not here to discuss any major issues, but just to collectively watch the live broadcast of the ignition test of the Oriental Super Ring.
If it was just an ordinary ignition test, they would never let them mobilize so much.
However, Xu Yun is among the project members.
First, they conquered room-temperature superconducting materials in a very short period of time, and then announced the construction of a fifth-generation nuclear fusion device a year later, which really makes people feel uneasy at all.
"What do you think about this? Is it really possible for them to achieve controllable nuclear fusion?"
As the general sitting in the middle spoke and opened the topic, the entire conference room suddenly fell into silence.
After a pause of more than ten seconds, I heard someone speak.
"According to the information we have received, Xu Yun serves as the deputy chief designer of the nuclear fusion device this time, and it is rumored that they have conquered a new technology. It may be possible to conquer controllable nuclear fusion."
"No matter what the outcome is, we should have prepared early."
"Xu Yun's talent is indeed strong, but his area of expertise is not in the direction of nuclear fusion devices. Even if the room-temperature superconducting material is conquered, it is impossible to completely master nuclear fusion so quickly, so I think there is no need to go too far with today's test. Worry."
"Regardless of whether this experiment can succeed, it is definitely a matter of time before controllable nuclear fusion is conquered."
"I remember when the other party announced their research on room-temperature superconducting materials, no one believed it could be conquered in a short time."
Listening to the voices of the congressmen arguing, the chief sitting in the middle felt a headache.
Thinking that my own laboratory has not yet solved the problem of high-yield production of room-temperature superconducting materials, while the other party has successfully developed a controllable nuclear fusion device, this level of backwardness is really too great.
Even if I use my energy to suck milk, I can't catch up.
Looking back on the past, they controlled most of the world's advanced technologies, but now they have changed their offensive and defensive skills.
I felt somewhat emotional in my heart.
However, there is no use in saying this now, and it cannot change the current situation at all.
In the end, after discussion, a member of the House of Representatives decided to wait for the experimental results to come out before considering subsequent response plans.
But it is worth mentioning that Nibisen was not among the members of the House of Representatives attending the meeting.
Because of their previous wrong actions, the whole world knew that they had released false information about scientific research results, so they were naturally no longer eligible to participate in a meeting of this level.
Similar situations also occur in cities such as Dongjing Paris.
…
…
"The whole world is paying attention to us this time. If the ignition test fails, the impact will be very serious."
With one hour left before the scheduled ignition test time, Song Yunhui, the director of the Dongfang Hyperring fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device, had a sad face in the control hall.
Now he is no longer worried about whether nuclear fusion can be achieved, but is worried about the failure of the test.
I hope that the institute’s research on nuclear fusion devices will report the results after the test is successful.
Where can it be broadcast live on the entire network like now?
And the whole world is paying close attention.
Although Xu Yun was already used to this, it was the first time they faced this situation, and he, the director, was under considerable pressure.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has received calls from above almost frequently these days.
Specifically asked about the situation of the fifth generation nuclear fusion device.
Gong Tao built this device with Xu Yun, so he was naturally full of confidence in it.
After hearing the director's words, he immediately said with relief: "Just keep your heart in your stomach, director. I believe there will be absolutely no problems with today's test."
"We must believe in Academician Xu."
When Gong Tao said this, Song Yunhui couldn't help showing a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.
Then he quickly added: "Of course I believe Academician Xu, isn't that why I'm worried?" After saying that, he didn't forget to pick up the tea cup in front of him and put it to his mouth and took a sip of tea to calm his shock.
Xu Yun understands Song Yunhui's performance. After all, being the director does bring a lot of pressure.
But there is nothing we can do about such a big battle this year.
Who makes his global influence so great?
Moreover, as soon as he conquered room-temperature superconducting materials, he seamlessly joined the Institute of Physics to participate in the research of nuclear fusion devices.
From the perspective of outsiders, it is natural to think that there is hope for conquering nuclear fusion.
Faced with such a situation, the best way is to broadcast live on the entire network and use the best results to announce their achievements in the field of nuclear fusion to the world.
Otherwise, you may be accused of having ulterior motives.
Considering that there was still some time before the ignition test, and worried that Song Yunhui's blood pressure would rise if he continued to worry like this, Xu Yun had no choice but to say: "Academician Gong is indeed right. I am quite confident about our fifth-generation nuclear fusion device. Regardless of whether controllable nuclear fusion can be truly achieved, I think the data will definitely be much higher than the previous generation device."
After hearing Xu Yun's words, Song Yunhui finally calmed down.
He nodded repeatedly and said, "That's good. I feel relieved with your words."
At this moment, focusing on the main screen of the control hall, the first thing you see is the ring-shaped tokamak device in the middle.
Since the new generation of fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device no longer needs liquid nitrogen cooling to maintain superconductivity, the appearance has changed and the scale of the device is also larger.
Seeing time passing by, it is getting closer and closer to the official ignition start test.
In the entire nuclear fusion device control hall, all engineering staff were focused.
Don’t dare to have any distractions at this time.
Even the barrage refresh frequency in the live broadcast room has slowed down, witnessing the birth of the final result.
"Hurry, hurry."
"Suddenly the atmosphere felt so solemn that I didn't dare to breathe."
"bless."
"I really hope to see nuclear fusion conquered!"
"Can it be achieved?"
"I believe Academician Xu, there will definitely be new miracles."
Immediately afterwards, an instruction announcement was heard in the control hall and reached the ears of the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Adding reaction fuel."
When this important core process was completed, Xu Yun immediately issued the ignition command as the countdown ended.
"start up!"
In the next second, engineers at the operating console quickly started the process to energize the peripheral superconducting coils.
Suddenly the huge magnetic confinement caused the temperature of the plasma in the reaction vessel to rise rapidly.
On the main control screen in the live broadcast room, two sets of real-time data also appeared on both sides.
It is the temperature of the heating, and the duration of the reaction.
At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room, no matter where they were or what they were doing, all stopped invariably, staring at the numbers on the screen, hoping not to stop.
