Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Not lit...

As soon as this phrase came out, the whole command room was quiet.

The engineers of Rosatom, who stood in front of the console, looked at each other, and Mother Vasili looked stunned.

“Not lit?! How is that possible? All inspection work has been done with Chinese engineers, how can it not be lit? ”

The silence in the command room was instantly broken by this phrase, and the journalists who had not yet figured out the situation were even more noisy.

Ignition failed!

It's a tens of billions of dollars worth of work!

If the project did not work, it would not be as simple as a joke, for Russia as a whole, but the energy industry would be a heavy blow, even affecting diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Standing next to Minister Novak, President Wang's face was also heavy.

Obviously, he was already aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Not only did he realize, but then Minister Novak reacted and immediately changed his serious expression.

“Find out now! ”

The engineer in the helmet nodded quickly.

“Yes, Mr. Minister, we are already doing this! ”

The ignition ceremony was temporarily interrupted due to sudden conditions.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the firing ceremony was not broadcast live and that the journalists present were all Russian media, and that the considerable cooperation in handing over the storage cards did not allow the unexpected effects to expand further.

At the same time, engineers at Rosatom are also rushing to look like ants on a hot pot, running around the reactor, working with engineers at China Nuclear Industry Group and East Asian Power to discuss the reasons for the failure of core ignition.

“… should not theoretically fail. ”

“But it did happen! ”

“I know, but the reactor tests are normal… only after it's installed. ”

There was always nothing wrong with the core, and at this point, engineers on the Chinese side suddenly said.

“Is there a problem with the nuclear power plant itself? For example, the connection type--”

The sentence was not finished, and even halfway through it, it was rudely interrupted by Lermontov sitting beside him.

“There can be no problem with our nuclear power plant!” Shaded as iron, this grinning middle-aged man continues with an unfriendly tone: "I told you, these Chinese are untrustworthy! They must have given us inferior core! ”

Although it was an angry phrase, it immediately stabbed the horsehair's nest, giving the Chinese engineers present an angry look on their faces.

Especially Academician Wang Zengguang, himself a tantrum, beat the table to stand up.

“Poor quality products? You're telling me that the core we make is a poor product? Mr. Lermontov, I would like to know if you are expressing Rosatom's opinion or your own! ”

“Mr. Lermontov, pay attention to your words!” Minister Novak hurriedly reprimanded him, then looked at the colorful Maester Wang Zengguang, soothed in a soothing tone, “Maester Wang, please don't get too excited, I'm sure Mr. Lemontov is angry too, he definitely doesn't really think so...”

Lermontov lifted his chin slightly, although he did not deny Minister Novak's statement, nor did he express any apology.

Master Wang's face was still a little angry, and if the contract hadn't been here, he would have swept off his sleeve.

Vassili, sitting beside him, tried to act as a pacifist and persuade both sides to calm down, but it didn't seem to have worked.

The meeting has come to this point, and it is obviously no longer possible to proceed.

Even if we barely go on, it's predictable that the rest of the content is just dumping each other.

Rosatom will never admit that it's on its own side, nor will East Asia Electric admit that it's the core that's gone wrong.

The only thing we can pray for now is that troubleshooting engineers on the front line can bring the ideal news.

Regardless of which side the problem is, it is possible to solve it only if we know where the problem is.

After the adjournment of the meeting, Master Wang walked down the corridor to smoke.

When he finished smoking a cigarette, the ark went over.

Earlier in the meeting, he had not spoken, but had been thinking about where the problem might lie.

Looking at the heavily colored king's academician, the ark asked.

“How's it going? ”

“It's tricky. ”

Ark: “Heat dissipation systems, HE-3 atomic probes, have you checked all these places? ”

Academician Wang: “Examined. ”

After a moment of reflection, the ark continued, “Could it be a core trap? I remember there seemed to be an active protective measure that could force the shutdown of the uncontrolled reactor and put an end to the ongoing nuclear reaction--”

“We checked, we checked everything we could,” Academician Wang Zhongguang shook his head, “Can you think of anything I wouldn't know? ”

emmmm…

I think so.

One time the ark was also caught in contemplation.

The problem seemed to be at an impasse.

The reactor can't get any better, but the core just can't start.

About an hour later, a front-line inspection report arrived.

The initial diagnosis is that everything that can be detected, including the core trap, heat sink system, energy interface, etc., is normal.

Reactor core only.

This is the equivalent of a “black box” for Russian nuclear engineers.

Only engineers from China can inspect this item without knowing the relevant technology.

However, under the agreement, the Chinese side did not need to present the Russian side with complete technical details.

At this point, Lermontov, the head of Rosatom, suddenly stood up.

“Ensuring the proper operation of the reactor is the duty of your Chinese enterprise, which is written in black and white on the contract, am I right? ”

Academician Wang: “Yes. ”

“But now the only thing we're not sure about is the reactor core, a component that hasn't been effectively inspected! ”

In the face of Lemontov's attack, Master Wang responded seriously.

“Correct your statement. Our engineers have done a full inspection of the core, and you've seen the inspection report--”

Interrupted Wang Academician Hu, Lemontov said in a questionable tone.

“Yes, you did, but who knows if you lied on the inspection report? ”

Looking at the guy in front of them who kept buttoning the pot to their side, Master Wang shrugged his eyes slightly.

“What do you mean? ”

“I'm questioning it reasonably," Lemontov continued, staring at Master Wang, "The biggest problem is probably on the ‘black box' of the core, and I have reason to suspect it's there. In order to accurately identify the cause of the malfunction, I ask you to provide us or other third-party inspection agencies in Russia with complete testing techniques. ”

"This is different from what was agreed in the agreement," exclaimed Master Wang. ”

Lermontov continues aggressively: "Yes, because you didn't make sure the reactor was working properly, and that was before you broke the contract! ”

“I don't think we have any breach, we are actively helping you solve the problem! ”

Even if he continued to refute it, it was just a pointless argument, and Master Wang threw his gaze at Minister Novak, hoping that he would come out and calm the guy down, but unexpectedly saw that the latter subtly diverted his gaze.

Obviously, his opinion is swinging, and it has already swayed to Lemontov's side.

After all, this Helios fusion station is not only tied to the future of Russia, but is already firmly tied to his path.

Maintaining relations with the Chinese State was important, but that did not mean that Russia would have a consistent compromise with no bottom line, that the nuclear fusion plant was now unable to operate successfully and that, apart from the objects that could not be inspected, no problem could be found at all.

So even with the exclusion, he had reason to believe that the problem was with the core.

As the situation began to turn out to be bad for East Asian electricity, the ark, which had not spoken in the meeting, suddenly spoke.

“Can I see the monitoring data on the plasma turbulence? ”

“Monitoring data?” Lemontov frowned, looked at the safety director next to him, and then looked at the ark, "What's the point of that messy pile of data? ”

The so-called plasma turbulence data, the changing pattern of plasma motion in the reaction chamber seen by the eye through the HE-3 atomic probe, or the common denominator, is a mathematical model that describes the motion trajectory of all microfluidics in the reaction chamber.

At a time when this research was arguably the physics of bombardment, even scholars in the field of plasma physics claimed that it was a Nobel Prize-grade achievement that directly provided the theoretical basis for a series of magnetically constrained fusion reactor devices, such as astronomers.

But for most people, it's really no different than a bunch of cluttered numbers.

It's like better programmers aren't likely to study 0 and 1 machine languages, because that's what CPUs and other hardware do.

And most importantly, the reactor wasn't lit at all, and what good would it do to solve the problem if monitoring data on plasma turbulence were pulled?

The boat shrugged its shoulders when questioning the hairy boy.

“How do you know if you don't try? ”

Lermontov shrugged his shoulders without expression.

“Whatever. ”

Lemontov responded to his request to have Rosatom technicians pull monitoring data for plasma turbulence, even though he did not like what the ship could do with the data.

The data were printed on a more than 200 page report and sent to the conference room.

Looking at the thick stack of printed paper, Master Wang's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

Not to mention what useful information comes out of it, not even to analyze it, but to look at it all, it takes a lot of time.

Sitting beside him with his arms in his arms, Lemontov quietly awaited the next move of the landing craft. Mother Vassili and Minister Novak also cast their curious gaze on the Ark and wondered what he intended to do.

In fact, the Ark did not do anything special.

He just followed the observation time sign very commonly and found the first five seconds of plasma turbulence data for the diagnosis of a reactor failure, and then swept his eyes on it.

Just five minutes later, he dropped the stack of paper in his hand.

Lermontov's mouth pulled a taunting smile, and the tone said with some irony, "Do you see anything? My esteemed mathematician, sir. ”

However, the next sentence of the Ark was unexpected to him.

Just let go of the ark of the report and say in a positive tone.

“Of course.”

“The problem is not with the core. ”

There was a disturbing noise in the conference room.

Obviously, as an authoritative figure in the field of nuclear fusion, the words of the Ark still weigh heavily.

Lermontov's expression on his face was slightly stunned, apparently unexpected that the ark could really see something from that messy pile of data, and in such a short amount of time.

Soon, however, his face returned to normal and his tone said with a hint of surprise: “I know you would say that, and we would say that the problem is certainly not with the nuclear power plant itself. ”

His claims were not denied, and the ark even nodded its head.

“You're right, the problem is certainly not on the nuclear power plant, and I think I might know what the problem is. ”

Not only did Lermontov stand still this time, Rosatom's experts stood still, even Master Wang stood still.

The first reaction came, Minister Novak asked hastily.

“What's the problem? ”

After a pause, the ark continued.

“If not unexpected, it should be the grid. ”
