March 5th.

[Master, the Jinwu 1 of the Qinling Plasma Research Institute will be put into trial operation at 15:00 this afternoon. Do you want to go and visit it? ]

Huang Junjie put down the experimental materials in his hands and looked at the time: "Help me activate an anthropomorphic bionic robot, and notify Fei Anming by the way."

[OK. Zhong quickly activated an anthropomorphic bionic robot hidden in a secret base in Bazhong, and then informed Fei Anming that Huang Junjie was going to inspect.

As soon as Fei Anming saw that the chairman was coming, he quickly asked the people inside to pay attention.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon.

Huang Junjie went online directly and appeared not far from the Qinling Plasma Research Institute. His special car slowly stopped at the entrance of the research institute.

"The changes are quite big." Huang Haojie looked at the transmission cables extending from the twelve laser power generation pipelines. These cables were connected between the laser power generation pipelines and the substation. There was also a huge power storage station not far from the research institute.

The power of the power storage station is a self-sustaining power storage station used to supply power to Jinwu 1. However, the energy consumption of the entire Jinwu 1 is very small. When started at full power, it consumes less than 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. .

Compared with the scale of power generation of 2.18 trillion kilowatt hours, the consumption of 400 million kilowatt hours of electricity is just a drop in the bucket.

In the general field of nuclear fusion power generation research, many people like to talk about the Q value. What is the Q value?

To put it simply, the Q value is the ratio of input and output of energy in the power generation system. A Q value of 1 means that the input and output are balanced. If the Q value is lower than 1, the input is greater than the output. If it is higher than 1, the input is less than the output.

However, even if the Q value is higher than 1, it does not mean that the power generation system can be commercialized, because commercialization is tricky and requires the Q value to be higher than 50. This requirement is obviously very high.

The current mainstream nuclear fusion power generation has a Q value of more than 1 point at most, not even 2.

The Q value of Jinwu 1 is definitely over 50. In addition to the one-time equipment cost, the daily investment is DD nuclear fuel, fresh water, maintenance of electricity, employee wages and management expenses.

"Chairman, welcome to the Qinling Plasma Research Institute for inspection." Fei Anming came forward quickly.

"Okay, don't be polite, let's go to Golden Crow 1 and have a look." Huang Haojie said with a smile.

"Chairman, please follow me."

Fei Anming quickly led the way to the main area of ​​Jinwu No. 1.

Upon arriving at the main area of ​​Jinwu 1, Huang Junjie saw a large tank wrapped in foam cement and some extended laser power generation pipes.

"Is it the boiler area and neutron crushing reactor inside?"

"Yes, since the steam turbine generator set has not been built yet, what we are testing today is the laser power generation system." Fei Anming explained quickly.

Huang Junjie looked up and saw two huge high-pressure steam pipelines heading outside.

"Is there any fresh water in it?"

"It has been installed. We want to test the steam production speed, as well as whether the temperature and pressure are up to standard." Fei Anming said.

Huang Junjie looked at the time and found that it was already 14:32, so he said, "Let's go to the control room. Your trial operation is almost ready to start."

The two arrived at the control room of Jinwu No. 1. Liu Jingguan, Zhang Huaide, Yang Guangming and others were also inside. After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Huang Junjie asked them to prepare for the trial run.

After a while of busyness, the time came to the trial run time of 15:00.

"Get to your positions and start testing." Fei Anming gave the order, and everyone began to work quickly according to the previous operation plan.

Inside the neutron squeezing reactor, the NN-8-1 condensed matter vacuum chamber was quickly formed. The DD nuclear fuel injection port located on the upper side quickly injected 1 kilogram of DD gas into the vacuum chamber.

After the injection of DD nuclear fuel is completed, the injection port is filled with NN-8-1 condensed matter, and the vacuum chamber enters the neutron compression stage.

Countless D atoms are ionized by neutrons, generating plasma in the vacuum chamber and emitting dazzling electric light.

But there was no abnormality in the control room. Even standing next to the main area at this moment, I would not feel anything abnormal. At most, there was a slight sound of some motors running.

But at this moment in the vacuum chamber, countless D atoms have stripped off their electrons and become atomic nuclei.

The merciless NN-8-1 still continued to oppress the D nucleus, like a bully who forced a good girl into prostitution, forcing the D nucleus to merge.

"Reaching the fusion tipping point."

The nuclear fusion reaction started instantly, and countless D atomic nuclei began to fuse together, and the vacuum chamber instantly released a light that was more dazzling than the sun.

At the same time, the huge heat in the outer layer of the vacuum chamber begins to conduct heat to the fresh water inside the boiler.

"The laser power generation pipeline has started generating electricity."

"The water temperature in the boiler area is rising. The current temperature is 143 degrees Celsius... The steam pressure is..."

Huang Junjie looked at the holographically projected laser power generation data.

The current power generation capacity of each of the six laser power generation pipelines currently generating power has stabilized at 0.89 to 0.9 million kilowatt hours per second.

The water temperature in the boiler area is also soaring rapidly, reaching 643 degrees Celsius. This high-temperature and high-pressure steam is prepared for the supercritical steam turbine. However, the steam turbine generator unit has not yet arrived, so it can only be discharged directly.

"Check each area of ​​the Golden Crow system to see if the radiation dose exceeds the standard." Fei Anming ordered.

"The optical radiation dose at the end of the laser power generation pipeline exceeds the standard, and the dose is..."

"No radiation dose exceeding the standard was found in the boiler area, and no radiation dose was found to exceed the standard at the steam outlet..."

Zhang Huaide heard that the optical radiation dose at the end of the laser power generation pipeline exceeded the standard and said: "It seems that the laser power generation pipeline needs to be lengthened a little longer."

"It should be that the laser power generation equipment did not fully utilize the light radiation, causing the light radiation to overflow." Liu Jingdian nodded and said.

Twenty minutes later.

"The fuel in reactors 1 and 3 has been exhausted, and reactors 2 and 4 have started working."

"Prepare to expel helium ash."

The hydrogen nuclear fusion in reactors 1 and 3 has completely stopped. At this time, the reactor is filled with hot, high-temperature helium plasma.

The condensed matter layer at the bottom of the vacuum chamber opens the helium ash discharge port. These high-temperature and high-pressure helium plasmas actively rush into the helium ash discharge port.

Until all the helium ash is completely discharged, the condensed matter layer closes the helium ash discharge port again.

However, these high-temperature and high-pressure helium plasmas are not discharged directly. Instead, they enter an annular pipe laid in the boiler area. In this annular pipe, the helium plasma transfers its heat to the fresh water in the boiler area. As the saying goes, make use of residual heat.

Jinwu 1 ran for a full three hours before stopping its first trial run.

Bang bang bang... Huang Haojie smiled and clapped: "You are the pride of mankind. From now on we have mastered the power of the sun."

Bang bang bang... There was thunderous applause in the control room, and everyone was excited. This honor is definitely a pearl in human history, and their names will be remembered in human history.

It can easily run stably for three hours without any other major problems, which means that Jinwu 1 is ready for commercial operation.

After a few words of encouragement, Huang Junjie left, while Fei Anming, Liu Jingguan and others began to summarize the experience of this trial run.
