Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Huaguo, Jinling.

STAR Institute of Devices.

“Coming in? ”

He followed the ark past the Institute's gates, and Hou was somewhat curious to gauge the surroundings.

Though Jinling had been here for more than half a year, and there was some connection between the project and the STAR imitator, it was his first time here.

Until then, at best, he had heard some rumors about the Institute.

For example, the Institute is currently under the responsibility of the military region in this area for security.

For example, maps such as Whiteness and Goethe cannot be navigated here.

However, coming in today, he finds that the situation here is the exact opposite of what he imagined...

The security here doesn't seem as tight as you might think?

The Ark laughed and said, "What else? ”

Hou Jian shyly scratched his back of his head.

“I thought secrecy would be tighter. ”

At least take a metal stick and sweep it around like a subway security check.

“The security section of the compound, which is a troop member, is perfectly safe and secure, and unrelated personnel cannot approach it at all. As for the secrecy measures... if you could even tell, it wouldn't be secrecy.” Saying, the ark lifted its chin toward the side of the road, "See there? ”

“Where? ”

The subconscious looks at the point of the landing boat's finger, yet nothing is seen except a green belt with a high knee.

“… what is there? ”

Ark: “There's a camera hidden there, you can't see it. ”

Hou Jin stunned: “How did you see that? ”

Ark: “I saw the surveillance footage. ”

Hou Jin: “…”

From two blocks away, surveillance along the way is essentially nowhere to go.

Not only that, but also on the basis of manual review, combined with face recognition and big data analysis. If a non-local resident wandered around the area for a long time, not even close to the Institute, someone would come and talk to him.

And security measures at this level are only recently available.

After all, China is now in an increasingly delicate position in the ITER organization, and the interest shown by the United States in controllable fusion technologies gives reason to believe that they may be moving some distortions and trying to obtain relevant information from outside the negotiating table.

Anyway, be careful. You're right.

And these things don't need an ark to worry about.

Naturally someone will do it for him where he can't see it.

Two men came straight to the lab that was embedded in the mountain.

By the time the two arrived, the researchers in the lab had basically arrived.

After a month of overhaul, the STAR unit has returned to its optimal condition.

Although the best two words may have to be quoted and, after all, the swelling of structural materials cannot be completely eliminated, with the experience of the previous pilot ignition, the problem should not be significant this time as long as the fuel injection dose is controlled.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if an accident occurs...

It's worth it, too!

The interior neutron irradiation environment of the simulator and Tokamak, while similar, still varies slightly. That's why he chose STAR devices over EAST or other Tokamak devices to experiment with, in addition to the notorious honor of "witnessing history”.

Seeing the ship appearing at the door of the laboratory, Sheng Xianfu, who was in charge of the on-site command, immediately greeted him and informed him of the situation.

“All preparations have been completed and experiments can be started at any time. ”

Ark: “Did you put the samples in? ”

Sheng Xianfu: “It's already in there. ”

The ark nodded: "Then get ready to begin. ”

Sheng Xianfu: "Yes! ”

No extra communication.

Immediately after receiving the order, Sheng Xianfu returned to work.

Hou Jian took a deep breath and looked at the experiment about to begin. His whole body was almost trembling with tension.

40 billion in scientific research projects, and he's never been involved in such a major project.

If the device fails, will he be held accountable? If the LPC-1 material does not work, or if they missed a peak when testing the sample for XRD, the experiment hit water drift...

Even though all this was impossible, it still confused him.

After all, he never thought about these issues before he stepped into the lab.

After a glance at the back of the ark, Hou moved into contemplation.

What kind of pressure is Professor Lu under if he feels this heavy just standing here?

I always feel terrible just thinking about it...

Looking at the staff busy in the lab behind the landing window, Pan Yard, standing next to the ark, frowned, with some worrying glimmers in his eyes.

“Are we really going to do this experiment with the STAR device? ”

“This is the best option,” the ark nodded expressionlessly, "and if the LPC-1 material proved effective, I would immediately initiate the establishment of the demonstration stack. ”

“Liquid lithium neutron recovery system solved?” Master Pan looked at the ark unexpectedly, "as well as the magnetic fluid generator unit. Both questions, right? ”

Ark: “It seems perfectly feasible to me to solve it while working on it. These two issues are not critical difficulties, at least compared to anti-neutron irradiation materials. ”

Pam: “I don't know why you're in such a hurry, but it's five or six years away from 2025. It is important to be steady and fast, but in any case, steady words are still in charge... remember not to rush. ”

“Well," the ark nodded, "I see. ”

Pam shook his head.

He knew that the Ark had not heeded his advice, and that the phrase "I know” was mostly a polite mantra. Perhaps because of the habit of single-handedly fighting, this man is very opinionated in his research.

However, he now has no alternative but to believe.

After all, I have been away from front-line research for far too long, and there remains only the prestige of the so-called pioneers in this area.

Helping to tap drums outside of the study is nothing, and sometimes the ark can help to make up for itself where the relationship with other institutes is not smooth enough.

But in specific experiments… I can't really give you much advice myself.

Sighing, Master Pan looked at the steel beast that landed behind the floor window.

Now all he can do is pray.

……

More than two dozen samples were installed in the reflection room.

This time there was no camera recording everything, let alone a press interview.

Because the ship deliberately mentioned it to the city in preparation, the experiment involved key elements of fusion research that were not suitable for propaganda.

Fortunately, he mentioned it.

Otherwise, the city council really plans to send a reporter to do the publicity work for him.

Taking a deep breath, Sheng Xianfu looked at the table below.

After being shown the look of the ark, he silenced and ordered.

“Start experimenting! ”

Almost as his voice drops, liquid helium begins to inject SG-1 superconducting magnets, immersing a circle of graphene wires around the outside of the simulator's orbit.

As the resistivity of the outer coil drops sharply, the enormous current begins to pass through the coil, which, assisted by the control coil, forms a perfectly closed magnetic field along the orbit of the imitator.

Confirm from the computer that the magnetic field is in good shape, Sheng Xianfu continues to give orders.

“Fuel! ”

The 1 mg deuterium mixture was injected from the catheter into the interior of the reaction chamber.

Meanwhile, the microwave heating device begins heating the gas molecules in the reaction chamber.

Almost as soon as the gas molecule was ionized into a plasma, inside that geometrically pleasing reaction chamber orbit, a brilliant film was laid out like an aurora.

It looks like a lightly trembling cicada wing, like a piece of dust that can crush it.

Yet the heat it contains is enough to cut off all armor in the world.

Fortunately, it is controlled by an invisible hand...

The magnetic field of the constrained plasma remains stable.

Plasma temperature and density continue to climb until the critical point of fusion ignition is near.

At this moment, everyone's fists were squeezed.

For a moment, the white light flashed in the lens and the scene was snowflake white.

At this moment, in the orbit of that planet, the most horrific energy on the planet is being brewed.

Although this process lasted less than three seconds...

“Turn off the microwave heater! ”

As the heating unit cuts off, the heat is continuously exported by the filter, and the fusion reaction stops abruptly.

After waiting for the unit to cool down, staff in protective clothing quickly entered the inside of the reaction room, from which valuable samples were taken.

These samples will be sent to specialized testing rooms to detect their DPA values, He residues and other properties.

At the same time, the staff responsible for the maintenance of the equipment rushed into the equipment immediately thereafter and began to assess the damage to structural materials, first wall materials, filters and other components.

Looking at the samples sent to the testing room, Hou Jin followed suit and assisted the researchers at the STAR Institute in completing the test.

Less than an hour later, the test results came out.

When the report was taken to the lab, almost everyone was surrounded, whether or not they could read it.

Squeezing the report's hands shivering, Hou moved forward to look at the Eye Ark, and looked at the researchers whose eyes had never met in the field. He shook his voice with excitement: "... the neutron beam basically passed through the material, and the gap atom basically filled the origin grid! Various data show that the material has excellent resistance in high energy zone neutron irradiation environment with no obvious irradiation damage! ”

Sheng Xianfu held his breath.

Pam opened his eyes.

Everyone in the room, the expressions are moving and happy.

Neutron bundles basically go through!

No obvious radiation damage!

The same words were heard, and the corner of the ark's mouth stirred a smile.

This is probably the best news he's heard this year!
