Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

While the word "inspection” was a word, it was in fact three days before all the engineers in the STAR project team had actually completed all the inspections.

Embedded in a mountain lab, the entire staff of the STAR project team, as they did three days ago, are waiting to be placed in their respective positions.

Standing next to the computer in the control room, the ark passes through a landing window close by, overlooking the giant iron and steel beast surrounded by a dense and numb coil, and the chest center is in full swing.

Soon, this reborn STAR device will undergo its first run experiment.

For this moment, he has waited six months...

Walking to the side of the ark, Sheng Xianfu took a deep breath and restrained the excitement in his voice: “The water-cooled filter is working correctly… we can start experimenting. ”

The Ark nodded when it heard the report of Sheng Xianfu.

“Let's get started. ”

Sheng Xianfu straightened his waistplate and was very energetic.

“Yes!”

The first experiment was not too tortuous, one did not involve ignition, and the second did not use isotopes of hydrogen.

As for the goal of the experiment, it's also simple, there are only two.

One is to confirm that the maximum magnetic field strength of the outdoor coil can cross the 50T limit of the calculated theoretical value, and the other is to ensure that the temperature reflecting the indoor high-density plasma reaches 100 million degrees Celsius.

As for the maintenance time, it doesn't take too long, just one second.

As the order to start the experiment was given, the laboratory staff immediately became busy.

The switch on the liquid helium valve opens and the SG-1 wire rapidly reaches the superconducting transition temperature as expected.

Along with the buzzing of the array of piercing eardrums, the current through the outer field superconducting coil begins to gradually amplify, constantly approaching the superconducting critical current of the SG-1 wire.

Watching the magnitude of the magnetic field feedback climb on the computer screen and eventually stop at the [51.14T] magnitude, the corner of the ark's mouth raised a smile.

51.14T!

Spiral 7-X.

The magnetic field strength of the bound plasma is the key to solving the problem of controllable nuclear fusion, capable of engineering magnetic constraints above 50T, and they have undoubtedly completed this puzzle.

First experimental goal successfully achieved!

He was nodded at by the ark, similarly seeing the joy of God in the face of Sheng Xianfu.

“Start the next experiment! ”

Sheng Xianfu immediately said: "Yes! ”

In addition to those superconducting coils that are fixed by irregularly shaped blue insulated brackets, approximately 20% of the non-superconducting outer field coils are secured under the red insulated bracket, mainly for fine tuning the magnetic field morphology within the mimetic instrument.

As the experiment moves into the next phase, the current inside the blue coil begins to drop, while the current in the opposite red coil continues to climb, mediating the magnetic field shape inside the mimic into the expected shape.

Looking at the constantly beating parameters on the computer screen, the ark sank and ordered, "Inject the helium! ”

“Yes!”

With this sound command, a catheter connected to the interior of the emulator injected 1 mg of helium into the chamber of the emulator.

Helium, which was initially injected, quickly diffused into the cavity of the vacuum and diluted to its extreme point.

However, with the activation of the microwave heating device, the temperature in the chamber began to rise continuously, the plasma gradually formed and its magnetic field was constantly squeezed, eventually laying a light blue film in that streamlined intracavity passage and shivering slightly at a frequency invisible to the naked eye.

In their respective roles, both engineers and researchers unconsciously squeeze their fists.

At this moment, the STAR impersonator crawling in front of them is brewing the most horrible energy on the planet like a space monster...

And that's true, even if it's a core, it's only 6,800 degrees.

At this moment, the temperature of the helium flowing in the orbit of the imitator has crossed the hundreds of millions of limits.

Although its mass is only 1 mg…

This short second is as long as the same century.

He squeezed his fist tightly, and his rich face was filled with excitement and his mouth was constantly reading.

“We did it, we did it! ”

The sound of his constant whispering was heard and a smile appeared on the face of the ark.

“Yeah, we did it! ”

Although it is only a gradual outcome, it remains a welcome one.

The next topic is to address the damage caused by plasma irradiation to the first wall material.

For fusion reactors, structural and functional materials experience severe swelling and brittleness due to high concentrations of irradiation defects and accumulation of nuclear reaction products, resulting in an overall decline in the performance of core components and connecting structural materials.

A very visual metaphor is that high-velocity neutrons hit the tightly arranged atoms on the first wall like billiards, but the atoms that are shot off do not disappear, but go elsewhere in the material. Ultimately, atoms are constantly shifted from the center to the surface, and the material slowly swells like a hollow foam.

At present, academia has not found a suitable solution to this problem.

On this subject, the Ark dares not to say that it has full certainty, but there are hidden thoughts in his mind.

Of course, in addition to key interior wall materials, there is a critical control system, the “brain” of a controllable nuclear fusion device.

However, there are a number of relatively good solutions in this area than in the case of pre-material problems.

After all, overtaking this stuff can be solved with money.

However, it looks like we're going to need some more money...

The microwave heating unit is off.

The current of the superconductive coil gradually diminishes.

The temperature of the plasma starts to cool…

As the Iron Beast stopped yelling, the whole experiment finally came to a successful conclusion.

When all this was over, it suppressed a long time of cheering and finally sounded in the lab.

Many are even thrilled with tears.

To celebrate this hard-won success, and in order to pay tribute to all the hard work that has been going on for months, the Ark, on the proposal of several young researchers, announced in front of everyone that a feast would be held in the evening at the Grand Hotel Zijinshan.

Of course, the money came from him personally and had nothing to do with the money.

After the experiment was completed, the engineers at the site began to repair and maintain the equipment. After the ship handed over the site to Sheng Xianfu, it took off its white coat and turned away from the laboratory, which was embedded in the mountain.

As he stepped out of the tunnel, a ray of sunlight spilled over his face through the treetops.

Squeezed by outdoor light, the ark seemed to see something.

Right between these trances, that silent light blue dialog box emerged without any warning from his view.

[“Fusion Light" Task Chain]

[Optional branch line: 50T superconducting magnet (completed)]

[Optional branch line: first ignition (complete)]

As soon as the two dialogs were clear, the ark was slightly stunned and a little excitement appeared on its face.

Complete both tasks simultaneously.

It was an unprecedented experience for him.
