China, Northwest China.

Looking up, the sky is clear and cloudless, and the yellow sand on the Gobi Desert is rolling. It is peaceful.

In the base, both researchers and soldiers are working in their respective positions in an orderly manner.

Since last night, the farthest checkpoint has been set up a hundred kilometers away, and the only road in the Gobi Desert has been blocked with the cooperation of armored vehicles. Soldiers with live ammunition patrol back and forth inside and outside the base to eliminate all potential threats and safety hazards.

In the core area of ​​the base, Professor Liu and Professor Long, who once pointed out the Tokamak device to Lu Yu, are waiting for the results of the last inspection.

Soon, after the feedback that everything is normal was sent to the two bosses, the two looked at each other and took a deep breath.

"Superconducting magnets are activated! Synchronous injection of liquid helium..."

"Liquid helium injection is completed, confirm that the temperature has reached the critical value, and start powering on!"

"The current has reached the critical value..."

"The magnetic field has been adjusted..."

"Inject fuel!"

Finally, it has come to this step.

After almost a year of replicating the project, the Gobi Desert base is about to give birth to the glory of stars!

Taking a deep breath, the two professors slowly stretched out their right hands. The operating table requires the fingerprints and instructions of the two to ignite.

Since the theory of nuclear fusion was proposed in the middle of the last century, optimistic scientists have predicted that this great technology will be realized within fifty years. However, history has proved that his expectations for the future of mankind are too good.

But today, the eternal fifty years will come to an end on this day.

For this day, people have waited too long.

"... I am honored to witness this moment with you."

Professor Liu announced to all researchers at the moment of pressing the confirmation button: "Lu Yu, ignite!"

Just like the rising sun and the rising sun on the Gobi Desert.

In the dark reaction room, the hottest energy in this star system is being lit up by the gradually dazzling light...

The temperature in the reaction room continues to rise.

The plasma bound in the magnetic field, which breeds the hottest energy in this star system, flows quietly in the reaction room like a layer of aurora as thin as a cicada's wing.

When the temperature broke through 100 million, the light that was more dazzling than the stars was lit up in an instant.

Endless energy surged out like a tide, being liberated from the tiny atomic nucleus.

Witnessing the arrival of this moment, everyone in the control room had an excited expression on their faces.

There was no cheering, and all this was just beginning!

The capacitors densely packed in the nuclear fusion device can release a city's electricity for a day at most. With the pressing of the switch, the terrifying current instantly rushed into the cylinder only the size of a mobile phone, violently compressing the hydrogen atoms inside to the limit and releasing terrifying fusion energy.

Using the inertia of the fuel and the magnetic cage formed by the strong current, pulse ignition occurs within the microsecond time range, and the suddenly dazzling light is like a sun in the device!

Staring at the lines of feedback data and real-time images on the computer screen, Professor Long pondered for a moment and then gave an order.

"Turn on the No. 1 generator set."

According to the feedback data, the ignition result is quite perfect. Next, it depends on whether the energy output of the device reaches the expected Q value.

"Yes!"

After receiving this order, the researcher sitting in front of the computer immediately pressed the button to connect to the No. 1 generator set.

The input energy is greater than the output energy. This barrier has always been a major difficulty that plagues the Blue Star nuclear fusion project.

Even if the Q value can be greater than 1 for a short time, it cannot be maintained for a long time, which makes all nuclear fusion devices like tools for laboratory verification of theories.

Soon, as the No. 1 generator set was connected to the reactor, everyone knew that the key to this experiment was coming.

When the energy that should have been the star was released, the plasma gas ionized at high temperature in this unique tokamak device was ejected from the nozzle, cutting the magnetic flux lines at high speed, converting the heat energy in the reactor into a steady stream of electrical energy.

With his eyes fixed on the screen, the researcher sitting in front of the computer screen said in an excited voice.

"The connection port of the magnetohydrodynamic generator set is working normally!"

"The power of the No. 1 generator set is increasing!"

"The power of the No. 1 generator set is fully loaded, reaching the expected 2000MW!"

In the end, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and shouted out that excitement.

"We succeeded!"

Yes, we succeeded!

The energy released by fusion is being continuously converted into electrical energy and used by them.

As the No. 1 generator set began to supply power to the device that maintains the magnetic field, the entire fusion device and the generator set have formed a cycle that can continuously and stably output electrical energy.

In the current solar system, no form of energy is purer and closer to the atomic origin than it.

"Lu Yu's estimated Q value is 165!!"

"Success!"

This shout resonated in everyone's heart.

In the control room, deafening cheers broke out, and people hugged each other and clapped their hands to celebrate.

They were ready to be unknown people in the Gobi Desert like their ancestors for most of their lives, but in just less than a year, this century-old project that has troubled mankind was actually realized in their hands!

Although they are not the biggest contributors, this project would have been difficult without them. Civilization is a miracle created by the combined efforts of countless individuals.

I don’t know who started first, but the singing echoed throughout the base.

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the victory song is so loud."

"Sing our dear motherland and move towards prosperity and strength from now on."

Victory belongs to them, victory belongs to China, and victory also belongs to Lu Yu who is far away in the alien planet!

The moment he felt he should step out of the cockpit, this bright light was destined to shine in China!

Lu Yu watched the successful ignition with his own eyes through a dedicated live broadcast.

Although we were countless light years away, the two professors started humming in the increasingly lively atmosphere there, and Lu Yu couldn't help but sing along: "Sing our dear motherland, and we will become prosperous from now on."

And in the land of China, there is another technology that can shock the world and has come to fruition after a year of gestation.

When they were announced to the world, the entire Blue Star was shocked. Unknowingly, China had unexpectedly reached the pinnacle of humankind in various scientific research fields!
