Chapter 19 Ignition(1/2)

The changes in Sandaokou University are naturally not hidden from some people who are interested.

"What's going on... so why are these roads closed?"

Several boys walked in Sandaokou University, their faces full of depression.

"Didn't it be...a big shot in the school?"

A boy looked at the blocked road and made a guess.

Another boy shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be a big shot. I just looked at the forum and it seemed that the road to the nuclear physics laboratory was all blocked!"

"What?"

"Nuclear Physics Laboratory? Is it said that what nuclear tests are going to be done there?!"

The boy nodded with a serious expression: "I wonder if you have heard of a news that the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Sandaokou University has been conducting research related to controlled nuclear fusion."

"Plus with the news from Iter some time ago... Do you think it is possible that the nuclear physics laboratory is conducting a controlled nuclear fusion experiment?"

This guess is obviously much more reliable than the previous one.

"Hiss...If this is true, wouldn't it be that my Xia Kingdom will soon master the controlled nuclear fusion?!"

Hearing the words of the classmates around him, the boy who made the guess rolled his eyes angrily: "How is that possible?!"

"This is a controlled nuclear fusion!"

"I guess, this is an experiment."

"Last time I heard from my mentor that it will take at least several years for controlled nuclear fusion to be truly mature!"

...

At the same time, in the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Sandaokou University.

"Everyone, cheer up!"

"Check the working conditions of each component of the stellar device. If there is no problem, prepare to turn on and start the first fusion test!"

With the order from Lu Yongchang, researchers in the laboratory came to their jobs and began to conduct investigations.

“The cooling system is normal!”

"The laser generator is normal!"

“The superconducting coil is in good condition!”

"..."

As the sound of reports came, the expressions on Lu Yongchang and Fang Xu's faces gradually became serious.

When the last inspection was completed, a hint of excitement flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes, and he issued an order in a firm tone: "Start power on!"

The researcher on the side pulled the switch, and a low buzzing sound slowly sounded, and an extremely powerful current instantly passed through the superconducting coil outside the star-like device!

"Magnetic field strength?"

Lu Yongchang asked loudly.

A researcher who monitors the intensity of the magnetic field responded loudly: "The current magnetic field strength is 50t!"

Lu Yongchang nodded slightly.

The magnetic field strength of 50t is enough!

After all, this is just a test, not really starting to controllable nuclear fusion!

"Then... the first ignition experiment of controlled nuclear fusion begins now!"

While talking, Lu Yongchang reached out and pressed several buttons on the computer in front of him!

A little deuterium-tritium mixture gas is injected into the reactor.

The next moment, the heating device starts to start.

Under the operation of the heating device, the deuterium-tritium mixture will be heated to an extremely high temperature until it completely becomes a plasma state!

The plasma-state deuterium and tritium mixture will be firmly constrained on the operating track by the strong magnetic field inside the stellar device!

Countless parameters flashed on the computer screen in front of me, and various colorful curves and numbers were pounding up and down in Lu Yongchang's eyes, forming a beautiful picture!

"It's almost done! Get ready to light the fire!"

Lu Yongchang shouted in a deep voice.

Fang Xu, who was beside him, swallowed slightly and pressed a button on the control table in front of him.

The next moment, a very high-intensity laser light shone on the plasma deuterium and tritium mixture!

boom!

The curve on the temperature sensor instantly drew a beautiful curve and began to climb upwards with a slope of nearly ninety degrees!

In just a few seconds, the temperature of the deuterium and tritium mixture in the plasma state reached hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius!

The fusion fire was ignited!

Nuclear fusion has begun!

At extremely high temperatures, a deuterium atom reacts with a tritium atom to generate a helium atom and a neutron!

In this process, a huge amount of energy is released!

"The temperature reaches the critical point!"

"A large number of neutrons were detected!"

A researcher shouted loudly in an excited tone!

Everyone present had a slightly moving eyes.

As professionals, they all understand the hidden meaning of this sentence.

Nuclear fusion reaction has already occurred in the inner cavity of the star imitator in front of you!

Looking at the extremely stable data on the computer screen, Fang Xu's eyes showed a little excitement.

"I, we... succeeded!"

Perhaps because he was too excited, Fang Xu's face turned red and his lips trembled slightly.

In comparison, Lu Yongchang's reaction was much more dull.

I saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

After all, it was just an ignition experiment!

...

Because this is just an ignition experiment, the amount of deuterium and tritium gas is not very large.

After a few minutes, the fusion fuel was exhausted and the fusion reaction in the reactor slowly stopped.

Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Check the status of the imitation device!"

“It’s not the time to be happy yet!”

Several researchers looked down at the computer screen in front of them.

"The cooling system is in good condition, and the external temperature of the imitator is stable at present!"

The first report came from a distance.

Lu Yongchang asked in a deep voice: "What is the external temperature now?"

“…25 degrees Celsius!”

Lu Yongchang nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that the cooling equipment is in good working condition.

The next second, he turned his head and asked loudly to the researcher on the other side.

"How is the reactor condition?!"

“…The reactor is in good condition and no irradiation damage was detected!”

It was not until this time that a bright smile appeared on Lu Yongchang's face.

The first phase of controlled nuclear fusion has been a complete success.

The next thing to consider is a controllable nuclear fusion control system.

And the selection of power generation devices.

Is it a continuation of the glorious tradition of mankind - boiling water, or another more advanced solution?

These questions circling back and forth in Lu Yongchang's mind.

"Pap!"

A hand slapped his shoulder hard.

Lu Yongchang's body trembled slightly and woke up from his thoughts.
To be continued...
