601. The Ignition Experiment Was Successful, Save A Big One For The Eagle Sauce
The basic principle of nuclear fusion generating energy is that when hydrogen isotopes—light atomic nuclei deuterium and tritium combine to form heavier atomic nuclei helium, they release huge energy. Similar nuclear fusion reactions are taking place inside the sun every moment, thus continuously emitting light and heat.
If you want two originally independent atomic nuclei to overcome various obstacles and merge into one, you need parameters such as temperature, density, and confinement time to meet extremely demanding conditions. Otherwise, the reaction cannot be maintained and nuclear fusion will not occur.
To measure the level of nuclear fusion devices and nuclear fusion research, we mainly look at three parameters: fuel ion temperature, plasma density and energy confinement "three two three" time, all three are indispensable.
As for the design of the stellarator, these three parameters have exceeded the limits of human technology.
This is something that no controllable nuclear fusion laboratory in the world would even dare to think of.
Therefore, Yue's mood was very calm.
It's just ignition. It's not even a test for the stellarator.
"Light the fire." Han Yue ordered.
Gao Yongxiang pressed the red button on the console.
Within the cylindrical structure of the stellarator,
Inject energy into plasma!
The fuel particle density, confinement time, and plasma temperature all reach critical levels!
In the laboratory, everyone heard a click.
That's the sound of two light cores coming together to become one heavy core!
This sound passed through the nuclear fusion reactor, through the thick metal shell of the stellarator, and through the thick protective glass of the laboratory.
Reached to everyone's heart.
This sound seemed to come from the ancient era hundreds of millions of years ago, like it came from the boundless depths of space, and it was like the sigh of a giant beast in the starry sky when it opened its eyes.
Everyone couldn't help but tremble.
This is an instinct.
This is the instinctive tremor that a tiny creature like human beings emit when faced with this surging, vast, and almost endless energy.
Human beings are using their small bodies to control this area of power.
This shocking click sound.
It lasted less than a second.
After reaching the critical state, ignition is successful.
The injection of nuclear fuel deuterium and tritium was stopped.
This experiment was only for ignition. It was a verification after the construction of the stellarator was completed. Strictly speaking, it was not a controllable nuclear fusion experiment in the true sense.
But it has been done several times, and the effect achieved this time has surpassed all controllable nuclear fusion experiments in human history.
Soon, the stellarator stopped operating.
The entire laboratory returned to calm again, as if nothing had happened just now.
The huge silver cold metal cylinder, like a silent giant, continued to look down at everyone.
Everyone at the scene clenched their fists and had tears in their eyes. All the exhaustion turned into excitement and excitement.
After a click.
The scientists on site quickly shook off that instinctive fear.
Caught in a carnival.
Regardless of age or status, embrace each other.
This is not a success in the controllable nuclear fusion experiment, but it means that the stellarator is on the right track, and the success of controllable nuclear fusion is coming soon.
At the scene, there was only one person who remained extremely calm.
He looked at the crowd cheering calmly.
He handed the information and data to Lin Ruoxi, and then said to Gao Yongxiang and Zhao Kangning: "There is no need to announce the results of the experiment this time, it is just a warm-up for foreplay.
"Ah? Why not announce it?" Gao Yongxiang asked.
At present, any controllable nuclear fusion laboratory in the world will announce the experimental results to the world after completing the experiment.
Successfully ignited and announced once.
Every time it runs for one more second, I can't wait to announce it.
There is actually a reason for this. It is too difficult to commercialize power generation with controllable nuclear fusion, and the results may not be achieved in our lifetime.
Scientists who conduct controlled nuclear fusion experiments also have performance requirements.
No one wants to spend a lifetime researching controllable nuclear fusion, as there will be no results at all.
So as long as it is an achievement that can be publicized, publicize it quickly.
But Han Yue is different.
In his plan, controllable nuclear fusion will be able to generate electricity commercially in one month at the latest.
There is no need to publicize 1.4 just because of such a trivial matter as successful ignition.
If it is announced this time, it will definitely make the headlines of most media in the world. After all, this is a new type of controllable nuclear fusion device. If it is successful, it is of great significance.
Register if this small result is also announced.
Then in the next month, we are still not allowed to announce several results every day?
It's not necessary.
Moreover, controllable nuclear fusion power generation is not only a scientific research achievement, but can also be used as a strategic weapon, which will have a huge impact on the international situation!
Han Yue wanted to have a backup plan.
Give Eagle Sauce a big one anytime!.
