"1 minute countdown to ignition, 59, 58..."
After Feng Shaoqun gave the order, the audience in front of the live broadcast room almost all stood up, wishing they could get into the screen.
Nervous, excited, restless... emotions breed among all netizens.
"3, 2, 1."
"ignition!"
At the same time, Chen Nuo pressed the power button.
The huge amount of electric energy is transmitted to the 512 laser along the special circuit. In the observation window, netizens only saw several laser beams shooting at the deuterium-tritium projectiles suspended in the magnetic field.
The dense laser beams once again stunned all the experts.
The exact number is unclear, but there are definitely more than 32 lasers.
Under the uniform irradiation of 512 laser beams, the target pellet began to collapse, concentrically implode, and thermonuclear fusion reaction began.
Chapter 766 When the machine beeps, ten thousand taels of gold
"Failure! Must fail!"
"It is absolutely impossible to succeed, not even us, how could they succeed!"
"Looking forward to a big explosion in the device, it is best to kill Chen Nuo together!"
……
Most of the heads of the fusion research centers around the world are roaring in their hearts, cursing the failure of the ignition of the Pangu pile.
At this moment, on the big screen in the command room of Dong'an Nuclear Power Base.
On the large screen where the laser diagnostic system is located, a curve suddenly climbs rapidly in a direction close to [-] degrees.
1000 million degrees, 2000 million degrees... [-] million degrees.
This process only took a few seconds, and the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees was bound in the reaction furnace by the super-strong magnetic field generated by the superconducting magnet.
Then a bright light suddenly appeared in the reaction furnace, just like the bright light when a star exploded during the Big Bang, it was several times brighter than the sun's light.
Even though the sudden bright light had been processed, it suddenly bloomed in the live broadcast room, as if a bomb had been thrown out on the screen, making all netizens subconsciously take a step back in fright.
"Oh!"
All netizens are excited.
The experts watching the ceremony in the command hall also stood up, subconsciously wanting to take a step forward, but they could only sit back when they saw the heavily armed security personnel next to them.
On the other hand, Chen Nuo, Academician Deng Hua, Commander Feng Shaoqun and others were calm, but there was still a trace of anxiety in their eyes.
"Report, the start of a fusion reaction has been detected!"
"Report, the divertor collected helium ash!"
"Report, the pump is working normally, and the helium ash has been extracted."
"Report, tritium was detected in circulating liquid lithium."
……
The reports continued to ring out, and when he heard the report that the tritium was successfully recovered, Chen Nuo let out a long breath and applauded first.
His applause seemed to be the fuse of a bomb, causing a chain reaction in an instant.
There was overwhelming applause in the command hall.
All the staff stood up and clapped their hands vigorously, their eyes full of excitement.
When the fusion temperature has been reached, it does not mean that the fusion reaction is successful. Only when tritium is collected by the recovery system can the fusion reaction be considered a complete success.
"Professor Chen, congratulations!"
Mr. Lin on the side clapped his hands and looked at Chen Nuo.
"Professor Chen, bull!"
"Professor Chen, we succeeded!"
"Success!"
……
A group of bigwigs congratulated Chen Nuo.
"It's not congratulations to me, it's congratulations to us, we succeeded!"
Chen Nuo said with joy.
Although I have simulated several times in the virtual space and verified the feasibility by igniting the low-profile version of the Pangudui capture device, I am still very happy at the moment.
"Run time 108 seconds!"
Commander Feng Shaoqun's voice sounded again, interrupting everyone's applause and congratulations.
With just such congratulations, the world's longest running record has been broken.
"Old Deng, your magnetic fluid generator should be fine!"
Chen Nuo turned to look at Academician Deng Hua beside him, and made a joke.
"Must be fine!"
Academician Deng Hua's tone was full of confidence. He has been engaged in nuclear power research for decades, and he considers himself the second in nuclear power technology. No one dares to be the first, not even Chen Nuo.
With Chen Nuo's complete set of magnetic fluid discovery machine technology, if he still can't make it, his seven or eighty years of life will be wasted.
In his opinion, Chen Nuo's theory is very strong, but his practice is weaker than 01:30.
But if he knew that Chen Nuo had master-level fitter, welder and other skills, he wondered if he would think so.
"Commander Feng, let's continue to the next step!"
"Yes!"
Feng Shaoqun's answer was sonorous and forceful.
"Open the No. [-] magnetic fluid generator set!"
"The No. [-] magnetic fluid generator set has been turned on!"
The huge high-temperature plasma stream pours into the magnetic field of the superconducting magnet structure under high pressure, deflects in the magnetic field, cuts the electromagnetic induction line, and transfers the charge it carries to the electrodes.
A current is generated.
"Unit 300 is running at full capacity, with a current power of [-] million kilowatts."
Another report sounded.
In the command hall, the words 300 million kilowatts are displayed on the large screen indicating the power.
This report instantly exploded in the live broadcast room.
They can't understand the process of fusion, and they can't comment, but the process of power generation and the power of the generator are a little... understand!
"Sure enough, it is a magnetic fluid generator. I just don't know how much the conversion rate of the magnetic fluid generator set has reached, but I think it is not low!"
"What do you mean? No need to boil water?"
"I tell you to study hard. If you insist on raising pigs, besides boiling water, there are other ways to generate electricity. Today I will give you a popular science. The common photoelectricity is photovoltaic power generation, which is directly converted into electricity. Professor Chen's student Wei Wei Wind, last year won the second prize of the National Technology Progress Award for its photoelectric conversion rate;
Hydropower is to use the gravity of water released from a high place to drive the hydroelectric generator, cutting the magnetic field to generate current;
Wind power is to use the wind wheel to drive the generator to cut the magnetic field to generate acoustic current;
Thermal power and previous nuclear power is to boil water, the heat energy is converted into water vapor to drive the generator to cut and generate current;
This is common, but these all need to be converted, and there is a loss from one energy to another, such as thermal power, the conversion rate of heat energy is less than 40%, and 60% of heat energy is wasted. Based on this, scientists began Research on the direct conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy, so there is a magnetic fluid;
Simply put, the ion current flows at high speed in the magnetic field to cut the magnetic field to generate current, and the fuel utilization efficiency is improved. The most important thing is to reduce the huge boiler equipment and reduce the space;
According to this calculation, the efficiency of this controllable nuclear fusion magnetic fluid generator should exceed 50%, otherwise it is impossible to replace the way of boiling water. "
"Additionally, the efficiency of the world's most advanced magnetic fluid generator is only about 20%. Even if the exhausted high-temperature gas is used to burn the boiler for power generation, the efficiency is only about 50%. The materials of the electrodes are very demanding and cannot be operated for a long time. Now that we have installed it, it means that we have made a breakthrough."
"Don't just focus on magnetic fluid power generation. Have you heard that the capacity of this single unit has reached 300 million kilowatts, and the largest in the world before was only 100 million kilowatts."
"I'm going, awesome!"
"666, Professor Chen who has done a great job to my country and to me..."
"Don't mess with Professor Chen, he's not omnipotent..."
"300 million kilowatts, one hour is 300 million kilowatt-hours, and one year is 262 billion kilowatt-hours. At 5 cents per kilowatt-hour, that is 132 billion RMB. Fuck, once the machine is properly powered, it is worth ten thousand taels of gold."
"If you install ten of these frankly, it's more than ten thousand taels, it's almost a million taels of gold."
"Nonsense, the world's largest power station only has 1000 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. If you install 10 units, it will be 2600 billion kilowatt-hours a year. There must be a limit to the awesomeness..."
Chapter 767 The first step on the starry sky
Netizens were talking about it, and then they got off topic.
Knowledgeable experts all over the world are naturally aware of what the netizens are talking about, so they are all deeply shocked at this moment.
We must know that the largest single unit capacity in the world is a domestic hydroelectric generator set with a power of 100 million kilowatts, while the single unit capacity of Dongan Nuclear Power Unit has reached 300 million kilowatts, which has tripled.
With the magnetic fluid generator technology and the superconducting magnets used, this data can reach at least 800 million kilowatts, but the outer diameter of the 800 million kilowatt generator set is 39.2 meters, the maximum height is about 13.8 meters, and the overall weight is as high as 3200 tons.
Installation is a problem. A slight deviation of this thing can cause the leakage of high-temperature plasma and cause accidents.
Moreover, the power state of a single generator is too large, so when the power of the Pangu pile remains unchanged, the number of generator sets will be small.
If one of them has a problem during use and needs to be repaired, the supply of 800 million kilowatts of electricity will greatly affect the problem of the power supply system, and the maintenance is not convenient.
Therefore, after a comprehensive measurement, it was changed to a power of 300 million kilowatts.
After Unit [-] was running normally, Chen Nuo nodded towards Zhou Zhengfeng who was on the side.
Zhou Zhengfeng agreed, turned and walked towards the hundred foreign experts who were watching the ceremony behind.
"Everyone, this is the end of the ceremony. Please rest in the lounge. If you want to go back, we will arrange a car to take you back to Dong'an City and help you arrange your itinerary!"
One sentence stunned everyone.
"Mr. Zhou, is this the end? The next work..."
"The latter is the technical secret of our nuclear power base, and it is inconvenient to disclose."
Zhou Zhengfeng directly interrupted the inquiring expert.
Just kidding, the entire ignition process has already revealed a lot of secrets, and I want to know the secrets of the power of Dong'an Pangudui, etc., so I can just announce it directly.
"Didn't you say that this is the first commercial controlled nuclear fusion? We still..."
"The live broadcast here will last for 72 hours, and you can watch the specific operation status in the live broadcast room!"
"But how do we know if you can..."
"see a visitor out!"
Zhou Zhengfeng's face turned cold, and he said something to the unarmed security personnel around him.
Several security personnel took a step forward in unison, staring at the crowd, feeling an endless sense of oppression spontaneously.
Nearly a hundred experts swallowed secretly and remained silent.
"Everyone, we invited you to visit!"
Zhou Zhengfeng said something slowly without looking back, and everyone's hearts were shocked.
Zhou Zhengfeng's words were very clear, they were invited here, and they were not asked to judge.
They asked themselves, if they were themselves, it would be impossible to disclose so many technical details.
If they annoy the other party, the subsequent cooperation may be ruined, and they cannot bear this responsibility.
After a brief silence, one turned and walked outside, and the others followed.
"What a bunch of...unsatisfied people."
Watching the last figure of the expert group disappear from the command hall, Zhou Zhengfeng said something in a low voice.
He originally wanted to say that he was really cheap, that he had to be tough if he couldn't be soft, but he swallowed the words again.
