Great Country Academician

Accompanied by the instructions in the main control room, the completed dawn fusion device started its steps again.

This is a steel behemoth, containing ultra-high temperature plasma of hundreds of millions of degrees in its abdominal cavity, slowly moving towards the door named 'Hope'.

Those external field superconducting coils that have been readjusted or even replaced have undergone countless simulations by the supercomputer, and as expected, they are stably adjusting the confinement magnetic field in the chamber of the Xiaoxiao fusion reactor.

The simulated high-temperature plasma composed of helium three and hydrogen rotates in the chamber, just like the earth is pulled by the sun's gravity, and travels on a predictable track.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon forty-five minutes came.

This is a critical node, and the last running test stopped here. The reason is that the first wall temperature, and the load on the hot plasma that occasionally escapes the control of the confining magnetic field, is approaching the limit.

As for now, judging from the various data detected in the main control room, the situation seems to be pretty good.

Looking at the various data on the console, Xu Chuan also heard the work reports of the various teams.

[The current confinement magnetic field is stable, and the external field coil is in good condition! 】

【.】

[The neutron wall load on the first wall has reached 0.27MW/㎡, and the current increase in plasma load is expected to damage the first wall material in six hours! 】

【.】

The reports one by one rang in his ears, Xu Chuan listened carefully and analyzed the relevant data.

After confirming that the current breaking dawn fusion device is in good condition, he gave the order to 'continue to operate'.

It has to be said that after readjusting the external field coil and re-optimizing the control model of plasma turbulence, the state of the dawn fusion device is much better than he predicted.

Problems such as slight magnetic surface tearing and plasma magnetic islands that originally existed in the high-temperature plasma simulation run of Helium III and hydrogen simulation have been suppressed in this run.

So that the temperature and load rise rate of the first wall are much lower than the first running experiment.

Sure enough, fusion-type fusion devices are the way out for controllable nuclear fusion.

Of course, whether the optimized Lixiao fusion reactor is as good as it is in theory, and whether it can support the important task of controllable nuclear fusion, still depends on the subsequent deuterium-tritium operation experiment.

That's the real test.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, it was approaching eleven forty-five minutes at noon.

Since the experiment started at 9:30 in the morning, the control of the high-density plasma in the reactor chamber of the dawn fusion device has exceeded two full hours.

In the main control room, after confirming that the operation status of the Liaxiao fusion reactor was still in good condition, Xu Chuan gave the order again.

"Stop the helium-three and hydrogen simulation run!"

"receive!"

The two-hour high-density plasma simulation operation, combined with the data of various monitoring indicators of the main console and the reports of each team, is enough to prove the excellence of the optimized Daybreak fusion device.

Two hours is not its limit!

But for Xu Chuan, this time the operation experiment has achieved the first goal, and the next step is the real actual combat.

With the shutdown of the dawn breaker, each team and unit quickly got busy again.

To switch the operation mode from the simulated high-density plasma experiment of helium three and hydrogen to the real fusion experiment of deuterium-tritium raw material is not simply a matter of replacing the raw material.

In this process, a lot of equipment that was not prepared before had to be connected or adjusted, such as the helium ash filter device, the adjustment of the water-cooled divertor, the adjustment of the plasma turbulence numerical control model, and a series of things that needed to be prepared.

Even though a series of preparatory work has been done a few days ago, there are still many things that need to be dealt with today.

Even though the time was approaching noon, it was time for lunch, and none of the team members on the project left their jobs.

Of course, you still have to eat lunch.

After all, there is still a tough battle to fight in the afternoon.

The boxed lunches that had been prepared in advance were delivered to the main control room and staff at various positions on time at twelve o'clock.

Except for some work that needs to be checked immediately after the operation stops at dawn, everyone took the lunch box and picked it up, including Xu Chuan and several news media reporters who came to do follow-up interviews.

People are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

Especially at an extremely important moment like today, everyone has to stay in good shape.

After hurriedly grabbing a boxed lunch, Xu Chuan poured down half a bottle of mineral water, and after suppressing the food in his throat, he quickly turned around and started working.

The preparations started at 12:00 noon and were busy until 3:30 pm before the relevant equipment and adjustments were processed.

Standing in front of the main control console, Xu Chuan looked at the readjusted Breaking Dawn fusion device. On that giant steel beast, it was obvious that some not-so-big changes had been made.

Taking a deep breath, looking at the time, he said calmly: "The teams report on their work!"

[The adjustment of the outfield coil has been completed! 】

[The plasma turbulent numerical control model has been adjusted! The Dawn supercomputer is in good shape! 】

【Water-cooled divertor has been adjusted! 】

[ICRF heating antenna is in good condition! 】

【The first wall test system is in place】

【.】

The report after item sounded powerfully and tremblingly in the main control room.

Everyone knows that this afternoon's test means that Huaguo's controllable nuclear fusion field is about to enter a new stage.

Standing in the main control room, Xu Chuan listened carefully to the reports one by one until the feedback from all groups was completed. After confirming that they were correct, he took another deep breath and calmly issued new instructions.

"Attention all groups! Now start the second round of testing!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

"."

With the new order issued, the Daybreak fusion device woke up again from its slumber and started a new round of changes.

External current supply!

Liquid nitrogen and liquid helium flow in!

The supercomputer and NC model are in operation!

The steady-state magnetic field increases steadily.

The goals that had been achieved before began to repeat again, and the adjusted plasma turbulence mathematical model controlled the external field superconducting coil to generate a brand new confinement magnetic field in the Dawn fusion device.

The helium-three single-particle electromagnetic detection system, which has never been used before, is also connected online.

With the completion of each requirement and stage, Xu Chuan's heartbeat also involuntarily accelerated.

"Report! At present, the status of the Lixiao fusion device has reached the expected goals, and the relevant equipment is in good condition. The deuterium-tritium raw material can be fed in at any time for ignition experiments."

Zhao Hongzhi, who was in charge of the overall status of the Lixiao fusion device, stepped forward to report the situation.

Xu Chuan nodded, and said calmly and forcefully: "Introduce one milligram of deuterium-tritium raw material! Start the ignition and operation experiment!"

With the order issued and responsible for various tasks, the personnel in the control rooms of each group quickly became busy.

"The deuterium-tritium raw material has been introduced!"

Hearing this report, Xu Chuan looked at the main console, held his breath involuntarily, and clenched his hands.

Whether it is successful or not depends on the next step.

PS: Ask for a monthly pass at the second watch.
