January 21, 2023, New Year’s Eve!

On this day, every household across the country is preparing for New Year's Eve dinner. Except for entertainment venues such as KTV, other places and even shopping malls are closed to give employees a time to reunite with their families.

The whole family is happy, preparing to watch the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV. Although in the era of pan-entertainment, there are more and more entertainment contents and methods, the Spring Festival Gala still ranks first. No program or method can shake the Spring Festival Gala's top position.

Far away in the desert, it was snowing heavily, the snow was flying, the cold wind from Siberia was howling, and it was so cold that the sky was filled with ice and snow.

But the scientific research base was in full swing. Everyone didn't even have time to eat New Year's Eve dinner. They were so busy that the security forces responsible for protecting the base had all entered combat mode, all radars were turned on, and the satellites in space were adjusted to monitor the entire earth and surrounding areas.

The six troops have also entered a state of first-level combat readiness, cooperating with the security forces to ensure the safety of the scientific research base.

"Finally check the condition of each component of the device!" Qin Yuanqing gave the order with a serious look on his face.

Since the 'Golden Crow Device' was fully assembled three months ago, it has completed five rounds of inspections, and this time is the sixth round of inspections, and it is also the last inspection before the first experiment!

Choosing to conduct the first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device' on New Year's Eve is of special significance. Once successfully completed as planned, this will be a special Spring Festival gift from the 'Golden Crow Project' to the people across the country, and it also represents the 'Golden Crow Project'

'All scientific researchers wish the people of the country a Happy New Year!

Up to now, the number of scientific researchers in the entire scientific research base has reached 8,000, and the number of scientific researchers involved in the entire "Golden Crow Project" has reached 51,000. It involves universities, scientific research institutions and corresponding scientific researchers, and scientific research work has already begun.

For the first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device', Qin Yuanqing paid 100% attention, because once it succeeds, it will be a good start for the entire project, which can greatly improve the morale of the entire project's scientific researchers, and at the same time, it can also give a stronger reward to the superiors.

Confidence, let them see that the birth of controllable nuclear fusion is just around the corner.

Controllable nuclear fusion lasts for half an hour, which means that controllable nuclear fusion has initially been commercialized and can produce corresponding benefits.

To put it bluntly, the controllable nuclear fusion lasts for half an hour. If you are more radical, you can directly construct and apply fusion power plants!

"Commander-in-Chief, after this inspection is completed, are we really going to start the first test of the 'Golden Crow Device'?" A white-haired old man said in a deep voice, still full of worry.

According to previous experiments related to controllable nuclear fusion, microsecond-level tests were conducted at the beginning. After ensuring that there were no problems, breakthroughs were made again and again, reaching the second level.

There has never been a brand-new device like Qin Yuanqing's. The first experiment was aimed at 30 minutes. You must know that the duration record of controllable nuclear fusion in the world is still stuck at 6 minutes and 30 seconds!

This simply makes people unsure of what to think. Even though relevant computer simulations have been conducted dozens of times in the past year, it is still difficult for them to have enough confidence.

A computer simulation is a computer simulation, and reality is a reality.

Whether it is a tokamak device, a stellarator, or this 'Golden Crow Device', they are all high-precision devices. If there is a problem with any one device, the entire experiment may end in failure.

This is why China’s industrial upgrading and transformation in the past ten years has achieved remarkable achievements. Otherwise, even the whole country would not be able to build such a device!

"If there is no problem, prepare to turn on the power!" Qin Yuanqing was full of determination. In the past year, he spent most of his time at the scientific research base, and the rest of the time was teaching related courses. He even only returned to Shuimu six times.

They were just starting classes, but they left Shuimu in a hurry without ever entering the house.

Qin Yuanqing was full of confidence in the 'Golden Crow Device' born in his hands. He was more confident than anyone else.

There have been five rounds of detailed inspections before, and there were no problems. This time, the sixth round of inspections still found no problems. If the experiment still fails, it would be a disaster!

Although "inspection" is just a matter of words, in fact, it was already an hour before hundreds of engineers actually completed all the troubleshooting work.

In the underground laboratory and the above-ground studio, all staff are standing ready and sticking to their jobs.

Standing next to the computer in the control room, Qin Yuanqing looked down at the steel behemoth surrounded by dense coils through the floor-to-ceiling windows, feeling a surge in his chest.

"The first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device' has officially begun, power on!" Qin Yuanqing issued the order for the 'Golden Crow Device' to be powered on for the first time.

At the same time, Qin Yuanqing pressed the button!

Suddenly, the temperature in the reaction chamber continued to rise, nurturing the hottest energy in this galaxy. The plasma bound in the magnetic field was like a thin layer of aurora, flowing quietly in the reaction chamber.

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

Endless energy surged out like a tide and was liberated from the tiny atomic nucleus.

Witnessing the arrival of this moment, everyone in the control room had excited expressions on their faces, but no one cheered. Everyone abided by their professional ethics and constantly paid attention to the corresponding data on the computer.

, reporting data like a robot.

There were only CCTV reporters recording this moment silently. These were CCTV reporters stationed at the scientific research base. They recorded the 'Golden Crow Project' from scratch from beginning to end, and the base's transformation from a desert to a complex that accommodates more than 30,000 people.

A large base, and records the construction, installation, inspection, and today's first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device'!

Once this experiment is successful, the relevant edited videos will be posted on the Spring Festival Gala as soon as possible after being reviewed by the headquarters, and then the video of Qin Yuanqing being interviewed by reporters will appear on TV sets and various short video platforms in thousands of households.

Whether it is a controllable nuclear fusion project, an anti-gravity project or a far-reaching scientific research project such as the 'double-ring space station project', there is a dedicated team following along, recording every bit of it, as future documentaries or scientific research materials.

.

Everything that happens is filmed, including in the control room.

The researchers in the control room were like clockwork gears, busy nervously.

The 'Golden Crow Device' is different from the 'Tokamak Device' or the Stellar Simulator. They are relatively simple, and the experiments performed are step-by-step. For example, the first experiment does not require ignition, and hydrogen isotopes are used. The first experiment normally only requires two

a goal.

One is to confirm how much t the maximum magnetic field intensity of the external field coil can reach, and the other is to ensure that the temperature of the high-density plasma in the reaction chamber can reach 100 million degrees Celsius.

The subsequent experiments are to continuously test various aspects of the situation, including plasma confinement experiments to detect how long the device can restrain the plasma, and under such circumstances, various aspects of the device, including damage, instrument damage, etc.

It is simply unimaginable for the 'Golden Crow Device' to go through countless experiments and directly conduct nuclear fusion reactions.

As nuclear fusion occurs, the entire device emits a deafening roar.

When Qin Yuanqing saw that the ignition was successful, a smile appeared on his face. This meant that one of the goals of the first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device' had been achieved. It showed that this device could be used to restrain nuclear fusion, and nuclear fusion was occurring within the device.

"Tritium was detected in the recovery pump! The liquid lithium neutron recovery system is confirmed to be effective!"

The circulating liquid lithium is like the hot blood in a dragon's body. The reciprocating tritium is mixed with the slowly injected deuterium, and then returns to the reaction chamber and continues to be ignited.

The staff member who reported the situation had a slight tremor in his voice.

Tritium was successfully recovered!

This means that among the goals set at the beginning of the first experiment of the ‘Golden Crow Device’, the second goal has been achieved!

Needless to say, even if the subsequent experiments fail, just the realization of these two goals is of immeasurable value. It represents that China has taken a major step in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, and it also proves that the 'Golden Crow Device' is the only one besides Toka.

In addition to the Mark device and the stellarator, this is the third device that can theoretically achieve controllable nuclear fusion through magnetic confinement!

Qin Yuanqing also smiled. Whether tritium can be recycled as an intermediate product in the reactor is a key factor in whether controllable nuclear fusion can be commercialized.

Although the specific recovery rate cannot be determined until the end of the experiment, the tritium currently observed proves that the goals set before the experiment have been achieved.

At the same time, the huge amount of electrical energy being generated is being transported along the already laid power grid to its destination.

Monitoring information in each link is being continuously recorded and reported.

Finally, when the experiment time reached 30 minutes, as the button was pressed, the nuclear fusion reaction was stopped, and the temperature inside the device quickly dropped from 100 million to less than 10 million.

The control room and the entire scientific research base burst into warm applause, announcing that the first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device' had achieved the original goals and was a complete success.

At the same time, it also represents that China has reached the world's leading level in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, pushing the record of controllable nuclear fusion from 6 minutes and 30 seconds to a new height of 30 minutes. This is a firm and powerful step forward for controllable nuclear fusion.

This step also represents China's initial commercialization in the field of controllable nuclear fusion.

At the same time, it also means that they have lived up to the trust of the country and the people. Their scientific research has seen the dawn. The dark curtain shrouding controllable nuclear fusion has receded. The dawn has appeared and the dawn is coming!

They have reason to believe that within a few years, China will completely control controllable nuclear fusion and get rid of the energy crisis. The Chinese people will live a happy life, and oil will become less important as an energy source.
