I have a little black hole

435 Ignition succeeded!

And because the working temperature of the first wall of the nuclear fusion reactor is above 1000°C, the instant the plasma bursts can reach 2000~3000°C, and the low melting point materials such as steel and copper are directly passed away.

At the same time, the task of the first wall is to export the thermal energy, and the ceramic material with a high melting point but no thermal conductivity is basically killed.The melting point of the currently promising candidate material metal tungsten is 3400°C.

However, tungsten also has the disadvantage of poor plasticity. Under the thermal shock of ionic plasma destruction, thermal stress tends to crack the surface of the material.

Therefore, in order to develop the first wall material that meets so many requirements, Lei Tiantang almost scratched his hair. Fortunately, he praised his father. Not only can a large number of calculations be used to exhaust many kinds of ratios. material.

And they can also operate the robot in the underground laboratory for 24 hours to perform the actual testing of these materials at the same time, which is why they can develop the first wall materials they use in other experiments in such a short time. This process takes at least 5 years!

In addition, in order to allow the constrained magnetic field to produce a more stable magnetic field, he and Kuafu spent the longest time on the research and development of superconducting materials, because the better the performance of superconducting materials, not only the magnetic field is more stable, but also The volume of the entire nuclear fusion reaction can also be reduced.

The strength of the magnetic field determines the upper limit of density and temperature, and the size of the device determines the upper limit of the constraint time to some extent.

For the current nuclear fusion reactor, the volume is also a topic that everyone cannot avoid. The ITER device itself weighs 23,000 tons, more than three Eiffel Towers!

However, the better the performance of the superconducting material, the more the volume-consuming part of the entire reactor can be reduced, so in order to obtain better superconducting materials, Lei Tiantang and Kuafu's efforts can be imagined.

"Complete system self-test is completed! Deuterium and tritium fuel filling is completed! Start ignition!" With the announcement of Kuafu, the entire nuclear fusion reactor came alive!

The internal images uploaded from the reserved sensors and monitoring equipment instantly thrilled Lei Tiantang!The entire vacuum chamber emits a strong light. If the light is filtered after passing through the observation equipment, the average person will become a blind man in an instant!

"The reactor ignition is normal! The energy output is normal! We succeeded the boss!!!" Kuafu shouted excitedly!

"Haha...! Good! Really good! We have worked so hard for so long! Continue to keep monitoring. After all, the reaction has only just begun. How long it can last is the key to success!

But even if it can't be maintained for a long time, we can't be considered a failure now. We always use our wisdom to complete other laboratories, which requires thousands of scientists to complete the work!Lei Tiantang also shouted with joy.

"Yes! This success is already the best praise for our hard work! I believe that our reactor can maintain its working state for a long time!"

"Well! Let's watch together for a while!" Lei Tiantang said while looking at the data displayed on the computer on the console.

Although the entire nuclear fusion reactor's monitoring equipment is the responsibility of Kuafu, in theory, these computers on the console are not needed.

But without these computer screens, Lei Tiantang would not be able to intuitively feel the data of the entire reactor, and in the future, if this nuclear fusion reactor is to cooperate with various countries and companies, a control system is also necessary.

Therefore, the console is also a part of this nuclear fusion reactor system, and it also needs to be tested for a long time. Otherwise, if there is a problem with one of the reactor equipment and the control system is not monitored, then a very serious accident will occur.

With the passage of time, the nuclear fusion reactor that Lei Tiantang and Kuafu worked hard to develop did not disappoint them, and has been steadily exporting to the outside for more than 4 hours!

In just 4 hours, this single-core nuclear fusion reactor has generated more than 5 million kilowatts!Perfectly achieved the design goal!

"Boss, it seems that we have really succeeded! Can the rest of the tests also be carried out?" Kuafu sees that the first phase of the test has reached the predetermined goal, and he is preparing for the following test.

"Let's go! With 4 hours of continuous and stable output, we can basically assume that our design has no theoretical errors, which paved the way for our subsequent development of smaller nuclear fusion reactors!

Although the volume and weight of our nuclear fusion reactor have reached the practical standards of commercial reactors, this volume and weight can only be built into a fixed commercial power generation reactor.

And our ultimate goal is to move the reactor to our spacecraft. The volume and weight are as big as they are now!

Now let us continue to verify the function of replacing parts in the working state of our independent design!This is very important. You can't replace the vulnerable parts except the core components. You must stop and then replace it. What kind of practical value is there for such a reactor!"Lei Tiantang said with a smile.

"Yeah, so when we design, we will spare no effort to design those easily damaged parts into modular parts.

There are several separate systems for each component. If a certain component system is damaged, it will not affect the normal operation of the reactor. Just replace it quickly!

Only in this way can the continuous and stable operation of the reactor be guaranteed. Then I started to carry out the parts replacement test according to the predetermined plan. You should pay more attention to the boss, so as to avoid problems and over-reaction!Kuafu said seriously.

Then Kuafu let the robot control the special equipment to start the replacement test.Of course, in such a short period of time, there will be no component problems in the entire reactor. If the components need to be replaced after only 4 hours, it means that the reactor is not mature enough.

However, the materials developed by Lei Tiantang and Kuafu spent a lot of energy to develop such a problem. How could such a problem occur? They have all passed the rigorous limit test!

Therefore, Kuafu now replaces all intact parts randomly selected. After all, it is tested whether the replacement function of the parts is effective, as long as there is no problem with the replaced parts.

"Boss, when our nuclear fusion reactor passes all our tests, when are you going to start cooperating with the country?" Kuafu asked while operating the robot.
