One of the most difficult is the laser ignition device and the projectile injection feeding system.
Any deviation in laser ignition will result in the inability to heat the target pellets evenly, and the collapse direction will not be consistent, so the target pellets will not be able to be ignited. It is more likely that the high-energy laser will burn out the furnace wall.
The projectile injected into the feeding system is the reaction fuel of nuclear fusion, because once the reaction occurs, a super-strong magnetic field is required to restrain the high-temperature plasma. If there is a slight deviation in the magnetic field that the projectile passes through, the reactor cannot get fuel in time, and the fusion will stop. .
Therefore, the installation of these two systems took nearly a week.
The assembly continued, low-clutter assisted heating, laser diagnosis...the devices were assembled one by one, and then tested and cross-checked repeatedly.
Although all the participants were highly nervous, everyone had excited smiles on their faces.
The world's first commercial controllable nuclear fusion reactor is about to be born from their hands. How can this not surprise them?
To say the least, this is a small step in one's career, to say it to the big, it is a key for human beings to embark on the starry sky.
It lasted another week, and the controllable nuclear fusion reactor was initially completed with the last power transmission line connected.
A complex device is slowly turning on the holographic image, which is the result of nearly half a month of busy work by Qianbahao people.
"Professor Chen, let's go and have a look!"
Academician Deng Hua suppressed his excitement and made a suggestion, which Chen Nuo naturally had no reason to refuse.
Within a few minutes, Chen Nuo and his group appeared in the assembly building of the nuclear fusion reactor wearing hard hats. Their arrival excited all the scientific researchers who were waiting for the next order.
Looking down from a high place, this five-story nuclear fusion reaction device, which occupies an area as large as a football field, is full of smiles in everyone's eyes.
"Attention all units, start the inspection of three inspections and three schools!"
Chen Nuo's voice resounded throughout the assembly hall, and in the next moment, everyone moved and started the inspection work according to the established steps.
The airtightness of the interface, the precision of the coil, the screw...
Looking at the busy crowd, Academician Deng Hua, who was wearing a hard hat, felt a little emotional.
"Professor Chen, my lifelong wish is to minimize the pollution of nuclear fission and maximize energy. As for the commercialization of nuclear fusion, I have never thought about it at all. I never thought that half of my body would be buried in the loess, but I saw you I have achieved commercial controllable nuclear fusion, and my wish has been fulfilled."
"Old Deng, I didn't figure it out, we figured it out, and all our scientific researchers worked together to figure it out."
Chen Nuo smiled lightly. Although he designed the reaction device, without these experienced scientific researchers, it would be impossible for him to make it by himself.
Deng Hua laughed, and the others around him also laughed.
Another two or three hours passed, and the various units reported that all inspections had been completed.
Chen Nuo suppressed the urge to ignite the fire immediately, and the voice sounded in the assembly hall.
"Everyone, the world's first commercial controllable nuclear fusion reactor has been completed in your hands. You are well-deserved heroes and heroes. Now we are ready for everything, and we only owe Dongfeng!"
Chapter 740 Century Project, Pangu Heap
All is ready except for the opportunity.
A simple sentence is the greatest affirmation of the completion of the Dong'an controllable fusion reactor assembly.
There was warm applause in the assembly building, everyone's eyes were shining with pride, and at the same time, their faces were full of relief.
How aggrieved I was when I was kicked out of ITER, how relieved I am now.
Moreover, all the parts and components of the reactor in front of us are purely domestic and original technology, which is impossible for any country.
There is a curse circulating in the scientific research community, that is, commercialized controlled nuclear fusion is always 50 years away from success, and now this curse will be broken by them.
Although it has not been ignited to verify, they have verified it countless times in virtual reality and models, and the technical route is feasible.
squeak……
The door of the assembly building opened again, everyone was attracted by the strong light outside the door, and a group of dozens of people walked in from the door.
"Boss Qi!"
"Vice President Lin"
"Minister Chang, Minister Wang..."
When everyone saw who was coming, they immediately let out bursts of exclamations. They never thought that several big shots from the Internal Affairs Department would come in person.
Not only them, even Chen Nuo and Zhou Zhengfeng didn't think of it.
After being surprised, everyone quickly descended from the high podium to the ground.
"Professor Chen, congratulations!"
Before Chen Nuo could say hello, Vice President Lin spoke ahead of time.
Chen Nuo hurried forward: "President Qi, Vice President Lin, why are you two here?"
"How can we not come in person for the completion of this century project!"
Mr. Qi had a bright smile on his face.
Commercial controlled nuclear fusion, this will be a turning point in history.
After a few polite words, Mr. Qi turned around and looked at the scientific researchers and technical workers who were slowly gathering.
"Everyone!"
Mr. Qi shouted with a loudspeaker, and after a pause for a few seconds, his voice suddenly increased a few degrees: "We succeeded."
The entire assembly space was silent for a few seconds, and then burst into violent applause and cheers.
"Thank you for your hard work. We have been chased and intercepted by ITER all these years, and kicked out of the organization by ITER on trumped-up charges... Facts have proved that we are only temporarily lagging behind, but we have caught up now..."
After the applause stopped, Mr. Qi started again. Every sentence touched the hearts of everyone, and moved everyone's hearts.
The applause in the assembly building also lasted for a long time.
After everyone returned to work, Chen Nuo led Mr. Qi and a group of people to slowly visit the entire installation.
An hour later, the group returned to the large conference room of the nuclear power base.
"Professor Chen, we are here this time, one is to boost morale, and the other is to come with a mission."
In the conference room, Vice President Lin said something, and Chen Nuo sat up straight after listening.
"The first task is to name this nuclear fusion reactor."
After Vice President Lin finished speaking, the secretary handed over a piece of paper to Chen Nuo, on which were written: Pangu, Nuwa, Buzhoushan, Zhurong, Jinwu, Suzaku...and dozens of names, all of which are from ancient mythology. name.
Chen Nuo looked at the name on the paper and thought to himself, is this the characteristic of Xia Guo?
But after thinking about it, Chen Nuo's expression was a little weird. The higher-ups obviously did this because they were afraid that he would name him indiscriminately.
Although the name of the project is just a code name, its meaning is different. It can be seen from the naming of rockets, missiles, space stations, space probes, etc. This is the expectation of the project itself.
Or... superstition, thinking that a good name can bring good luck to the project.
"President Qi, what do you mean?"
Chen Nuo asked, he is not Xiaobai now, it is better to ask about such things.
"You decide!"
"Don't look at me, you decide for yourself!"
When Chen Nuo was about to ask Vice President Lin next to him, Vice President Lin blocked his words directly.
Chen Nuo scanned the dozens of names one by one. Except for the first three, the latter ones are all fire-attributed beasts in ancient mythology, which is consistent with the attribute of energy produced by nuclear fusion.
And the first three, each of which is very meaningful, Pangu created the world, Nuwa created man, and the pillars of heaven and earth are not Zhoushan.
"Then call it Pangu."
Chen Nuo finally decided on a name.
Controllable nuclear fusion is a groundbreaking thing for energy and even the whole earth.
"Okay! The nuclear fusion reactor is called the Pangu Reactor. All future reactors will be prefixed with the name of the place where the reactor is located. The Dongan Nuclear Power Base will be called the Dongan Pangu Reactor!"
Mr. Qi made a decision, and then said: "As for the optimization of the reactor in the future, then it will be called another name!"
Everyone also nodded unanimously and agreed: "Then let's inform, this is worth commemorating, let everyone be happy!"
A few minutes later, the entire nuclear power base knew that the reactor with controlled nuclear fusion was called the Pangu Reactor!
Everyone is cheering and discussing!
The myths and legends of Pangu creating the world have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Xia. Therefore, as soon as the name of the reactor was announced, the scientific researchers in the nuclear power base instantly understood the meaning of the name of the reactor as Pangu Reactor.
This is the magic of Xia Guo characters.
Listening to the vague discussions coming from outside, Mr. Qi took a sip of tea and continued: "Professor Chen, although Academician Deng and the others have simulated many times with supercomputers in virtual reality, the results are gratifying, but one If you don't light the fire every day, you won't be able to let go of your mind!"
There were no outsiders in the conference room, Mr. Qi, the boss of the House of Internal Affairs who had experienced countless storms and made countless decisions about people's livelihood, was like a neighbor's grandfather, with a trace of anxiety on his face.
Chen Nuo was silent. The model can only be verified to be feasible, but it is still very different from the reality. After all, there will be various factors in reality.
"President Qi, the Pangu pile can't be ignited for the time being, but there are still other ways to verify it!"
After Chen Nuo finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Zhengfeng: "Mr. Zhou, when will the parts for my three sets of equipment be completed?"
"Three days at most!"
Zhou Zhengfeng was a little surprised, and then exclaimed: "Are you going to use the nuclear fusion reactor in that capture device to verify?"
"But... can it work?"
Zhou Zhengfeng's voice was a little hesitant, because the scientific research staff of the general staff concluded that the fusion reactor was a low-end version of the Pangu reactor.
Chen Nuo nodded. Anyway, he had to verify the feasibility of this device. The small smart factory has been completed, and now the parts are missing.
When designing, in order to maintain the stability of speed and capture, many devices were discarded, especially the coils of the superconducting magnets that generate the magnetic field are much less, and the running time after ignition cannot last. It can be said that it is a low-profile Pangu. stack device.
The larger the reactor, the more devices and systems involved, the more instability there is, and the difference is huge.
But in any case, the technical route is the same.
Moreover, both sets of devices were designed by him. He can judge the problem of Pangu Heap from a lot of data, and it is no problem to use it for verification.
"Okay, let's wait here for the next three days!"
Chen Nuo has made a decision.
Chapter 741 The Shock Brought by the Astral Thruster
"Professor Chen, we have already heard Minister Zhou's report on this matter. What exactly are your three sets of equipment?"
Seeing that Chen Nuo and Zhou Zhengfeng had finished communicating, Vice President Lin asked curiously.
After Zhou Zhengfeng got the blueprints, the assembly experts had a heated discussion, simulated with supercomputers, and vaguely guessed, but the conclusions they reached were contrary to their cognition.
The speed of the Rod of God can reach Mach 20. There is no weapon on the earth that can reach this speed. For example, it has been rumored in the military circles that M developed the X-37B aerospace plane, and the speed can reach Mach 20;
But it's impossible to accelerate to Mach 55.8 in 20 seconds, and it's impossible to fly to the warmer layers of the atmosphere.
Therefore, Chen Nuo said that there was a way to deal with the stick of God, which made everyone who knew about it curious.
Everyone in the conference room looked at Chen Nuo with anticipation in their eyes, waiting for his answer.
Chen Nuo smiled lightly: "The three sets of devices are the minimized nuclear fusion reactor, ion thruster, and intelligent robotic arm."
"Sure enough, these three suits!"
"It turned out to be an ion engine!"
Zhou Zhengfeng and Yu Chongyang muttered to themselves, but then they were full of doubts.
The ion propulsion works miracles with great force, this sentence is correct.
They have calculated that the energy output of Chen Nuo's nuclear fusion reactor is 400MW, and the total weight of the three sets of devices is 7.2 tons.
According to the current 100KW/5N thrust of the ion thruster, 400MW=400000KW, the equivalent thrust is 20000N, and the converted weight is 2000kg, which is 2 tons.
This thrust has far exceeded any ion thruster on the earth, but even so, it is impossible to push the capture device up, and the speed can reach Mach 20 in a few seconds.
It's not that they didn't think that Chen Nuo had redesigned the ion thruster, but even if the thrust was tripled, it was impossible to push the entire device up.
As for the higher speculation, there is no such thing, because it is true that it is true that it is a miracle, but it also means that the mass and volume of the ion thruster increase, but Chen Nuo obviously does not.
This is where the contradiction comes.
But since Chen Nuo dared to take it out and was able to deal with the stick of God, it meant that the thrust had changed.
"Professor Chen, what is the thrust of your ion thruster?"
