Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Chapter 55: Preliminary mastery of fusion reactor miniaturization technology

"This gadget has such high power generation?!"

The chairman of the Senate glanced at the small fusion reactor test machine in the center of the factory with some surprise.

1,000 megawatts, this is an extremely terrifying power generation!

You know, the power of a household diesel generator is about 3-10 kilowatts.

Even the "Nimitz" class aircraft carrier that the United States is proud of has a total power of only about 280 megawatts!

In other words, the black cylinder in front of you, which is about half a person tall, can drive an aircraft carrier effortlessly!

Thinking of this, a fiery color flashed in the eyes of the Chairman of the Council for an instant!

If this technology matures...

In time, Xia Guo will have the absolute right to speak on earth!

"When will the experiment begin?"

the Speaker asked somewhat eagerly.

There was a hint of hesitation in Fang Xu's eyes.

This is a nuclear test after all!

After hesitating for a long time, he said softly: "President, how about... you stay away?"

"Don't underestimate this black cylinder, it's filled with liquid lithium!"

"If something unexpected happens..."

A look of horror flashed in the chairman's eyes.

Liquid lithium plus nuclear fusion…

Even a layman like him knows how dangerous this thing is!

But he still shook his head slowly: "No!"

"Senior Councilor!" Fang Xu suddenly became anxious, "Senior Councilor, your safety..."

The chairman of the council glanced at Fang Xu indifferently.

The unquestionable look on his face instantly interrupted Fang Xu's unsaid words.

"Don't worry about me. Since Professor Lu Yongchang has not backed down, how can I, the chairman of the parliament, have the nerve to be a coward?"

"Yongchang! Start testing!"

Lu Yongchang on the side nodded slightly, then turned to the researchers responsible for the control and shouted loudly: "The experiment begins!"

"Start the heating!"

As Lu Yongchang finished speaking, a researcher quickly lowered his head and pressed a few buttons on the console in front of him.

A low humming sound began to sound.

"This is……"

A trace of doubt flashed in the chairman's eyes.

Lu Yongchang hurriedly explained: "The melting point of metallic lithium is 180.54°C, so a period of preheating is required before the fusion reactor is started."

The Speaker nodded slightly.

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"About ten minutes! It should be faster once the technology matures!"

"That's right, that's right." The Council Chairman nodded repeatedly, his eyes becoming more and more brilliant.

Ten minutes of warm-up time is perfectly acceptable!

After all, under normal circumstances, this kind of fusion reactor will only be loaded on aircraft carriers or submarines.

For aircraft carriers and submarines, the startup time of more than ten minutes is not too short!

"Professor Lu, the metallic lithium has been completely melted!"

A researcher's shout came from the side.

After hearing this, Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly became serious.

"Start the ultrasonic generator!"

"Inject deuterium and tritium gas mixture!"

As Lu Yongchang's order was issued, a string of fine bubbles slowly rose from the bottom of the black container.

Under the vibration of ultrasonic waves, the bubbles begin to shrink regularly!

When the bubble shrinks to the extreme, a dazzling light emanates from the core of the bubble!

At that moment, the temperature inside the bubble rose directly to 150 million degrees Celsius!

The deuterium-tritium fusion reaction was ignited!

"A large number of neutrons detected!"

One researcher shouted excitedly!

At the same time, the neutron dose detector nearby also sounded sirens!

Looking at the smoothly running curve on the computer screen, Lu Yongchang slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this... a success?"

The chairman of the parliament put his head in front of the computer screen, looked at the dense curves and numbers on it, swallowed slightly, and asked in a low voice.

"It's done!"

Lu Yongchang showed a bit of joy on his face and said decisively!

At the same time, deep in his consciousness, a flash of fluorescent green light slowly emerged.

The next moment, his consciousness came to that mysterious green space again.

On the tree-like structure, a bit of crystal white light slowly lit up.

[Fusion reactor miniaturization technology: preliminary mastery]

…

The first experiment lasted about a minute.

Because no matching generator was installed, the energy emitted was dissipated into the surrounding air through the heat sink.

After the experiment came to an end, Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, turned to Chairman Li and said, "Chairman, I have something to tell you."

Councilor Li raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded slightly: "Go ahead!"

Fang Xu, who was standing by, saw this and was about to leave, but Lu Yongchang grabbed his arm: "Brother Xu, you should also listen to this!"

Seeing this scene, the doubt in Congressman Li's eyes became more intense.

"Senior Councilor, I need to summon all the scientific researchers in the aerospace field in Xia State!"

Representative Li's pupils shrank suddenly.

All scientific researchers in the aerospace field! ?

This is a big deal!

"What are you going to do?"

After a moment of silence, Councilor Li asked softly.

Lu Yongchang didn't hesitate at all and said softly: "Aerospace plane."

"The transportation efficiency of traditional rockets is too low. Xia State needs more advanced transportation methods!"

After hesitating for a moment, he added again: "Chairman, if possible, I need the engineers responsible for manufacturing the J-30!"

"In addition, there are engineers who manufacture the Long March 10 carrier rocket!"

As soon as the voice fell, Fang Xu on the side suddenly turned his head to look at Lv Yongchang, and shouted in a hurried tone: "Yongchang! These engineers are the country's heavy weapons, you can't mess around!"

After that, Fang Xu hurriedly apologized to the chairman: "Chairman, Yongchang doesn't know the rules..."

The chairman raised his hand gently and interrupted Fang Xu's words.

The next moment, he looked at Lv Yongchang with a firm face meaningfully, smiled and nodded.

"Okay!"

"Since you need these engineers, I will transfer them to you!"

Fang Xu stood there blankly.

Crazy!

All crazy!

These engineers are the treasures of Xiaguo!

Can they be borrowed casually! ?

"Then...what about the research on the J-30 and Long March 10?" Fang Xu looked at Councillor Li in disbelief.

As an academician of the Xia Academy of Sciences, Fang Xu naturally knew some secrets that ordinary people didn't know.
