Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

At the same time, the power department also announced the phased results of the five-year electricity price adjustment.

Before the end of 2028, the first-tier electricity price for residents in various regions will be uniformly adjusted to 0.1 yuan per kilowatt hour.

After 29 years and one year, electricity prices in various places are slightly different although they are affected by different circumstances.

But it has basically dropped below 10 cents, fluctuating around 0.8 cents.

In addition, the power department also set a target for electricity price adjustment in the new year.

As commercial reactors begin to be fully built and connected to the grid to generate electricity, it will adjust to about five cents in the new year.

Until the final electricity price adjustment target is achieved.

And from this,

The power sector has also suffered huge losses in its accounts in the past two years.

It can still withstand it because from the time the electricity price adjustment was determined, a sum of money was allocated to the power department to cope with the inevitable losses at this stage.

In this regard, the power department also directly announced it to the outside world.

But no one cares, because everyone knows,

Even if this loss seems exaggerated, it will continue to expand with the daily electricity consumption of residents at this stage.

But it can be smoothed out quickly and make profits quickly.

Furthermore, with good expectations,

Although the power sector suffered huge losses in a short period of time,

However, in the data collected by the commerce department and other departments that year,

It is obvious that the reduction in electricity prices will stimulate and benefit the sales of electrical appliances.

Since 2028, various types of household appliances have experienced a surge in sales that has not been seen for a long time.

A considerable part of the original stock and stock productivity has been consumed, and the expansion of the entire market demand has brought about an increase in production activities upstream and downstream of the entire industry chain.

What this brings about is the prosperity of the entire market, and ultimately the further rise in the overall economic data of the entire society and the entire economy.

In other words, except for the power sector which is temporarily losing money, other aspects are making money.

And, a virtuous cycle has begun to form.

In this process, the good expectations and consumer confidence brought by controllable nuclear fusion technology played a considerable role.

…

Time enters 30 years.

Before the Spring Festival, the old leader who met Mo Dao several times,

In the year-end televised speech,

It is explained again that the tasks and goals of the entire China in the next 20 years,

That is to build and popularize controllable nuclear fusion commercial reactors in China.

Completely transform China's energy source method.

Moreover, relying on controllable nuclear fusion technology, the overall transformation and upgrading of the entire industry has been completed.

To achieve the phased goals in various fields and industries under the popularization of controllable nuclear fusion.

At the end of his speech, the old leader sincerely said to everyone,

"Friends, we are entering a new era. The birth and realization of controllable nuclear fusion technology has allowed us to open the door, and everything behind the door requires all of us to work together to complete its construction."

"We can already see that it will be a world with more abundant productivity, a happier life, and a world where everyone is closer to realizing their good wishes."

…

This year, Mo Dao was thirty-six years old.

As a scientific researcher, I am actually still very young at this age.

It's just a high probability that even if Mo Dao makes some research achievements in this life,

Under the brilliance of realizing controllable nuclear fusion technology, it will only become a new footnote on how powerful Academician Mo Dao, the father of controllable nuclear fusion, is.

Unless he can also achieve results comparable to achieving controllable nuclear fusion.

This didn't matter to Mo Dao.

Because the realization of controllable nuclear fusion technology is something that seems to transcend the times and has left a mark on history and civilization.

In his already long life, it only accounted for a very small part, even though it took almost two lifetimes before and after.

If Mo Dao's life could be summed up in a few words, as the father of controllable nuclear fusion, his life must have been magnificent.

But as long as you refine it to the sky, you may not need it at all.

Na Mo Dao spent most of his life, like most people who engage in research,

It's boring and peaceful.

Solving some simple problems is like part of normal work and thinking.

For some complex problems, there may be no progress in one day, two days, or for a long time. The problems and challenges faced one day will remain the same as those faced tomorrow.

Within this period of time,

In addition to teaching students and participating in arranging some commercial reactor construction work,

What Mo Dao does is actually quite simple.

Try to solve the problem of tritium proliferation once and for all.

…

"Go and do your work, I'll stay here by myself for a while."

The site of the Suiren demonstration reactor.

Some distance away from the core tokamak device,

Surrounding this huge demonstration reactor are platforms used by technicians to inspect and maintain the entire reactor.

After Mo Dao said something to the person in charge of the Suiren demonstration reactor site,

Then he looked at the demonstration reactor not far away.

"Okay, Chief Master Mo, you can take a look for yourself first."

Facing Mo Dao, the person in charge of the site had some sincere respect.

Starting from the demonstration reactor and entering continuous operation, most of the daily work,

In fact, it is left to the team responsible for daily work.

The theoretical team led by Mo Dao seldom intervened directly to demonstrate the daily operation of the reactor.

The general person in charge of the site is responsible for the daily operation of the demonstration reactor.

And the more you participate in the daily operation of the demonstration reactor, the longer you will

He respected and even admired Mo Dao even more.

The demonstration reactor is equivalent to a very large commercial reactor, and the energy output when operating at full power can supply the daily electricity consumption of one or two provinces.

And such a huge amount of energy is docile at this moment, bound in this huge technological creation built by human beings.

And this huge human creation is the work of Master Mo.

After another response, the on-site person in charge left.

After Mo Dao took a look,

Then he looked at the entire demonstration pile in front of him, which was still some distance away.

From a direct sensory perspective, the human body is very small compared to the entire reactor.

Even the main body of the demonstration reactor looks like a mountain, and it would be even more exaggerated if a bunch of huge steam generators were added to it.

Moreover, this 'mountain' is still made of metal, and the violence that is being continuously released from it is enough energy to overturn most things in this world.

Unlike most reactors, ignoring the generator set, the main body of the demonstration reactor is quite quiet.

Mo Dao was so quiet, thinking about the problem of tritium proliferation.

Tritium proliferation is a relatively serious problem in the entire commercialization process of controllable nuclear fusion.

On the Suiren Demonstration Reactor, or in other words, a series of commercial reactors built based on the Suiren Demonstration Reactor,

This problem is half solved.

At this moment, in the main body of the reactor, the reaction is taking place from a microscopic perspective.

The two isotopes of deuterium and tritium are under the sufficient temperature and pressure specially created for them by the fusion device.

Keep combining.

In the process of combining, they will release huge energy,

This is also the source of the energy produced by the reactor.

And after the reaction,

They will produce two things, one is waste, needless to mention,

The other one is neutrons.

This whole process is fusion.

And deuterium and tritium fusion,

Obviously, the substances and fuel consumed are the two isotopes of deuterium and tritium.

The former is easy to obtain,

There is plenty of it in seawater, and the extraction technology is also very mature.

The key is tritium.

Tritium is difficult to obtain using other methods, and the cost of obtaining it is also high.

However, in the entire process of controllable nuclear fusion, there is a more ideal way to obtain it.
