Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Nine: Continuous Breakthrough

Wang Nian got off the bus, and before he had time to look at the beautiful surroundings, he quickly walked towards the entrance of the institute. Wan Yuanxi was waiting for him at the entrance of the institute.

Today was the day when the second experiment started. After receiving the news from Wan Yuanxi, he arranged all the work immediately and rushed to Binhai City.

Fortunately, now that the experiment has not started, he rushed over in time.

"Enter the visitor's fingerprint information first." Wan Yuanxi used the identity of the research institute to help Wang Nian enter the visitor's basic information.

Every non-institute person entering the institute must be brought in, and the necessary identity information must be entered before entering.

After recording the fingerprint information, facial information, and voice information, Wan Yuanxi took Wang Nian into the research institute.

"Are you ready for the second experiment?" Wang Nian asked.

"Preparation is sufficient. Yesterday, Academician Chen arranged to modify the parameters of the experiment, and it is completed today. The experiment will start soon. If you come here later, I am afraid you will miss it."

"The experiment is completed so quickly?"

"He can build such a large research institute and installations within a year. Whether it's fast or not, we can't use our thinking to define Academician Chen." Wan Yuanxi said as he walked.

After passing through the layers of security gates, the two entered the Starlink Command Center.

Chen Mo and others were already at the command center. After seeing Wang Nian, the two simply said hello. After a few greetings, Wang Nian did not disturb Chen Mo, but walked to the seat next to Li Jian and the others, and waited quietly for the experiment to start.

At present, each post is doing the final inspection. As long as the inspection is completed and there is no problem, the second experiment can officially start.

"Chief Engineer Chen, the final inspection has been completed, and no abnormal problems have been found." Bai Lijing handed over the report in his hand to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo glanced at the data in the report, walked to the computer in the console, and made final confirmation on the data parameters. In the past few days, I have been in the laboratory, using Mo Nu's simulation to design experimental parameters, and set up three sets of experimental parameter plans in a row.

After the parameters were completed yesterday, he asked the staff of the institute to prepare the parameters of the experiment. Everyone has a clear division of labor, and with the help of intelligent robots, the action is very fast.

Five minutes later, after confirming that there is no problem with the data, Chen Mocai put the report in his hand aside and said seriously: "Now I'm ready to start the second experiment.

"

As soon as Chen Mo's words came out, everyone in the command center was ready to stand up and cheer up.

"The second controlled nuclear fusion experiment begins, turn on the power."

"Startup successful."

"The field system is working fine. The vacuum chamber is fine, the background vacuum pressure is 4x10-6pa... The cooling system is working fine."

"Increasing toroidal field (b-coil) current, 10,000 amps... 100,000 amps... 200,000 amps... 13 mega amps..."

The familiar voice of artificial intelligence made the hearts of all the researchers on the field gradually tense.

The achievement of the first experiment allowed them to see the possibility of successful controlled nuclear fusion. Every experiment now has the potential to be a successful experiment in controlled nuclear fusion.

"Deuterium-tritium fuel is being charged, the fuel is filled; the ohmic (e-coil) heating coil current has increased to the maximum..."

"The divertor is working fine, the water cooling system is fine..."

...

Soon, as in the first experiment, the current and magnetic field all reached predetermined values. Some parameters are different from the first time, and all others are the same. The fuel was also filled, the preparations were completed, and the next was the ignition, and everyone clenched their fists unconsciously.

"Countdown to prepare for ignition, 10...9...8...2...1...Ignition."

As the countdown to artificial intelligence came to an end, everyone's heart twitched violently when they saw the numbers on the computer changing instantly.

The real-time data collection system used, during the fusion experiment, any data changes in each system will be collected synchronously in real time, and it is easy to see the changes inside the device.

"Ignition is successful, the plasma temperature is 84.45 million degrees Celsius, it is rushing into the fuel, it is pressurizing, and it starts to heat the plasma..."

Yes! ! !

Many people clenched their fists. The data this time was much higher than the first experiment. This has shown that Chen Mo's improved experimental parameters are effective.

The ignition is successful, and the next step is to see how long the plasma can run stably.

89 million degrees Celsius; 90.84 million degrees Celsius…

When the plasma temperature exceeded 90 million degrees Celsius, everyone shouted in their hearts. The temperature of the plasma is already higher than in the first experiment, which is another small breakthrough.

Excited, everyone continued to pay attention to the changes in the data.

Wang Nian was already clenching his fists with excitement, his face flushed, and the appearance of Wan Yuanxi and others in the first laboratory was no different.

Compared with the first time, Li Jian and others were much calmer. I have seen a flat tire on a train, and this time, even if I am excited, it will not be so exaggerated.

The continuous running time has exceeded 500 seconds, and now every second is a new record. In the excitement and ecstasy of all the researchers, one second passed, and the process of the continuous discharge of the plasma came to an end.

9500 degrees Celsius, 762 seconds, successfully breaking the 12-minute mark.

This data drove all researchers crazy.

The second experiment, although ultimately did not obtain a stable long-running plasma. But the results achieved once again set a new record set by the first experiment.

If you continue to optimize, success is very close at hand. If the news spreads, I am afraid it will shake the whole world. Everyone clearly feels that the era of energy change is coming.

This time, Chen Mo didn't need to speak. After the experiment, everyone in the command center immediately started preparations for the next experiment.

None of the researchers found that they had been influenced by Chen Mo before they knew it. Everyone's goal was to stabilize the plasma that could sustain long-term discharge and achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

Three days later, the third experiment came as promised.

With the first two experiments paving the way, everyone's work is in an orderly manner. In order for the experiment to proceed smoothly, everyone repeatedly checked the work they were responsible for, for fear that a slight error would cause the experiment to fail. The new experiment also created a new record, making everyone cry with joy. At 99 million degrees Celsius, the plasma continued to discharge for 964 seconds.

The fourth experiment had not yet started. Wang Nian, Li Jian and others all left the field in person and temporarily participated in the preparations. The third experiment was 99 million degrees Celsius, 964 seconds, and the data both broke nine. All of them saw the dawn of victory. It was once not favored by them, but it became the most likely instrument to realize their research.

With the efforts of everyone, the fourth experiment also started as originally planned, and finally set an incredible record of 10.2 billion degrees Celsius, and the plasma continued to discharge for 1042 seconds.

In the fourth experiment, the data has reached the data they expected, but the plasma cannot continue to run forever. The data both broke through the theoretical values ​​in the calculation, and there were some discrepancies between theory and practice. Everyone was not discouraged and tried their best to prepare for the arrival of the fifth experiment.

After several experiments, the set experimental parameters were continuously adjusted and optimized. The experimental parameters, in the joint optimization of Chen Mo and Mo Nv, have gradually approached the final answer.

In the Science Island Research Institute, an unprecedented tense time has also entered. During this time, all personnel on the Science Island are not allowed to leave for half a step. Even Chen Mo, in addition to going to the laboratory in Building 1 of the Army Ant Headquarters, spent the rest of the time in the Science Island and did not go home.

The news of continuous breakthroughs in controlled nuclear fusion has been tightly sealed, and the outside world has no idea that an era of energy revolution is about to begin on this small island.
