Chapter 430 Successful Controlled Nuclear Fusion

In the command center, Zhao Min, Li Chengzhi, Wang Nian, and Li Jian were all present.Chen Mo is standing on the stage of the command center, and below are the researchers participating in the experiment.

In the first four experiments, the data parameters have been gradually optimized, and in the fourth experiment, the numerical values ​​are both breakthrough theoretical values.

Now they need an opportunity, an opportunity to break through the bottleneck.As long as it breaks away from a specific value, the plasma can continue to run, no longer limited by time.

This is the fifth experiment and it is also an opportunity.

[Star Ring] The experimental parameters are close to the highest value. If this experiment fails, the [Star Ring] must be modified to improve some of its performance parameters before the next experiment can be performed.

As Chen Mo pressed the start button, Starlink started, fuel injection was completed, and all tasks were ready to be completed.

"Prepare for the countdown to fire. 10...9..."

The voice of artificial intelligence makes some people clenched their palms unconsciously and kept praying in their hearts.

"3...2...1...Ignite."

At the beginning, the toroidal field current instantly became zero. Under the super-strong induced current generated in the vacuum chamber, the deuterium-tritium gas instantly fused into plasma.

"The ignition is successful, the plasma temperature is 98.37 million degrees Celsius... Deuterium-tritium fuel is being injected... the plasma pressure is being increased... the plasma is heating..."

The ignition was successful, making everyone breathe secretly and continue to stare at the computer screen.

Next, is the key to the experiment.The first four times were all successful ignitions, and they kept breaking records, but the plasma eventually went out. Their hopes were pinned in this fifth experiment.

The command room was silent.Everyone's eyes are on the computer screen, intently.

As time passed by, the time for the plasma to run steadily was constantly refreshing, seeing their hearts beating wildly.

The temperature of the plasma has reached a terrifying 120 million degrees Celsius, and the duration of the continuous discharge has exceeded 1,000 seconds, reaching 1032 seconds. Now every second increase may be a limit.

Because no one knows at which moment the plasma can reach the critical value of the bottleneck and jump out.

"The data is normal and the plasma is stable."

"The plasma is stable."

"The plasma is stable."

...

Every ten seconds, the voice of artificial intelligence will be heard in the command center.The duration of the continuous discharge has already exceeded 1042 seconds in the fourth experiment.

The operation of sustainable discharge continues. Everyone in the command center is waiting quietly. Although they are just staring at the computer screen, no one is impatient and even wants to continue like this.

"The longitudinal magnetic field is stable... the angular magnetic field is stable..."

"The ion cyclotron wave heating system is working normally, and the ohmic heating system is working normally."

"The pellet feeding system is working normally..."

"The plasma temperature is 135 million degrees Celsius, and the plasma is stable."

"The first wall temperature is 2208 degrees Celsius, the divertor works stably, and the cooling system is stable."

"[Star Ring] runs stably."

...

Listening to the voice of artificial intelligence, everyone felt as sweet as the sound of nature, and everyone unconsciously smiled, including Chen Mo.

The time of continuous discharge has passed 1800 seconds, which is more than half an hour.[Star Ring] The plasma has been running stably, and the fusion reaction can also proceed spontaneously.The consumption of deuterium and tritium fuel at this time is also 30% less than the consumption in the same time in the previous experiments. This has shown that the self-sustaining tritium in the plasma has formed and the fuel utilization rate has increased.

The plasma has broken through a certain peak, and nuclear fusion can react spontaneously. As long as there is deuterium-tritium fuel charged, the plasma can continue to run stably for the time of combustion and will not go out.

Soon, one hour later, the continuous discharge of the plasma continued, and the data was still stable, and there was no meaning to go out.

Many researchers did not consciously focus on Chen Mo, waiting for Chen Mo's conclusion.Some researchers, their bodies trembling, desperately held back their heart excitement, just waiting for the last-minute outbreak.

They worked so long and finally got the results they wanted today.

After carefully reviewing the stable running data of [Star Ring], Chen Mo finally showed a long-lost smile.It is now obvious that the plasma has not gone out, which shows that the experiment has been successful.

His efforts have had results today.Seeing many hopeful gazes, Chen Mo walked up to the console and slowly approached the microphone and said, "Now I announce that the fifth experiment of [Star Ring] has been a complete success. Cheers."

boom……

When Chen Mo announced his success on the console, the researchers of the entire Starring Experimental Command Center broke out in an instant.

All the researchers shouted desperately, applause and cheers resounded throughout the control room of the command center.

More than forty people burst into cheers that hundreds of people did not have.In the past, the gentlemanly researchers were finally released this time.

"Success, success. Hahahahaha..."

"We succeeded..."

"Controlled nuclear fusion is successful."

...

The academicians and experts such as Wang Nian and Li Jian, who were sitting in their positions, also yelled frantically regardless of their image. They just hugged each other, crying and laughing.

Among them, they are all pioneers in domestic plasma research, and they have witnessed the fact that controlled nuclear fusion technology has grown from scratch, leading the world, and now obtaining plasma that can continue to burn.

No words can describe their mood at the moment.Just like the mood of the ancestors who successfully detonated the first "atomic bomb", only cheers and shouts can express their excitement.

Chen Mo was also infected by the fierce atmosphere, he laughed, and clapped while laughing.

For today, he has expended too much energy. Among the many technologies, the development of the [Star Ring] device is undoubtedly the most difficult one.

From the decision to cooperate with the official, the two sides negotiated and approved the project, to the construction of the research institute and the star ring, to the present [Star Ring] experiment announced a success, it took him too much thought.This technology involves too many fields. He put out a lot of material technology and production technology in the science and technology library to complete it successfully.

Li Chengzhi saw those academicians and experts who were crying like children, a little sad, but quietly applauded.

"Congratulations." Zhao Min, who was watching, was also infected by this atmosphere and walked over to hug Chen Mo: "Congratulations on your success. At this moment, you are a big man standing in the center of history."

Zhao Min is also happy from the bottom of her heart. This is one of the few times when she sees Chen Mo gaffes.

In the past, Chen Mo was a leisurely and calm look, and he was as old as an old monk who saw through the world. No matter what happened, he was always calm.She didn't expect Chen Mo to be happy today, but thinking about the experimental results that Chen Mo got, she also knew that Chen Mo was happy and normal.

A change in human history is already in his hands. This is a man who made history.

"Thank you." Chen Mo patted Zhao Min on the back and said with a smile.

Zhao Min let go of Chen Mo with some dismay, and smiled, "What do you want to do most now?"

"What do you want to do the most?" Chen Mo tilted his head and thought: "I want to go home and take a hot bath, then relax my mind, don't have to think about anything, and "sleep naked" once."

Puff...

Zhao Min was amused and cast him a blank eye.

The joyous atmosphere of the command center was still there, and many researchers shouted hoarsely, and only clapped, ignoring the red palms.

The outside world does not know that a technology for human energy transformation has come out on this humble island.
