Chapter 430: Successful Controlled Nuclear Fusion

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

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

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

Now is the fifth experiment, and it is also an opportunity.

The experimental parameters are already close to the highest value. If this experiment is not successful, it is necessary to carry out transformation work to improve some of its performance parameters before the next experiment can be carried out.

As Chen Mo pressed the start button, the star ring started, the fuel injection was completed, and all the work was ready.

"Countdown to getting ready to fire. 10...9..."

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

"3...2...1...fire."

At the very beginning, the toroidal field current instantly became zero, and in the vacuum chamber, under the super-inductive current generated, the deuterium-tritium gas instantly fused and turned into plasma.

"Ignition is successful, plasma temperature is 98.37 million degrees Celsius... Deuterium-tritium fuel is being injected... plasma pressure is being increased... plasma is being heated..."

The ignition was successful, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief 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 setting new records, but the plasma was finally extinguished, and their hopes were pinned on this fifth experiment.

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

Time passed by minute by minute, and the stable operation time of the plasma was constantly being refreshed, and their hearts were beating wildly.

The temperature of the plasma has reached a terrifying 1.2 billion degrees Celsius, and the continuous discharge time has exceeded 1,000 seconds, reaching 1,032 seconds. Now every additional second 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,

Plasma is stable. "

"Plasma is stable."

"Plasma is stable."

...

Every ten seconds, the voice of the artificial intelligence will ring once in the command center. The continuous discharge time has already exceeded the 1042 seconds of the fourth experiment.

The operation of the sustainable discharge continued, and everyone in the command center waited quietly. Although they were just staring at the computer screen, no one was impatient and even wanted to continue like this.

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

"The ion cyclotron heating system is working fine and the ohmic heating system is working fine."

"The pellet feeding system works fine..."

"The plasma temperature is 13.5 billion degrees Celsius, and the plasma is stable."

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

"run smoothly."

...

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

The time of continuous discharge has passed 1800 seconds, more than half an hour. The plasma inside is already stable, and the fusion reaction can proceed spontaneously. The consumption of deuterium-tritium fuel is also reduced by 30% compared with the consumption of the previous experiments in the same time period, which has shown that the self-sustaining of tritium in the plasma has been formed, and the fuel utilization rate has been improved.

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

Soon, an hour later, the continuous discharge of the plasma continued, and the data was still stable, and it did not mean to go out.

The eyes of many researchers were unconsciously focused on Chen Mo, waiting for Chen Mo to come to a conclusion. Some researchers, their bodies are shaking, desperately holding back their excitement, just waiting for the last moment to explode.

They have worked so hard for so long, and today they finally got the results they wanted.

After carefully reading the data of stable operation, Chen Mo finally showed a long-lost smile. It is now clear that the plasma has not been extinguished, which means the experiment has been successful.

His efforts have paid off today. Looking at the many hopeful eyes, Chen Mo walked up to the console and slowly approached the microphone and said, "Now I announce that the fifth experiment has been a complete success. Cheers."

boom……

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

All the researchers desperately shouted, applauded and cheered, resounding throughout the control room of the command center.

More than 40 people burst out with cheers that hundreds of people did not have. In the past, gentlemen were all researchers, but this time they were finally released.

"Successful, successful. Hahahahaha..."

"We succeeded..."

"Controlled nuclear fusion is successful."

...

The academicians and experts such as Wang Nian and Li Jian who were sitting in their seats were also shouting wildly, regardless of their image, and just hugged each other, crying and laughing.

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

There are no words to 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 intense atmosphere, he laughed and applauded while laughing.

For today, he has spent too much energy. Among the many technologies, the development of the device is undoubtedly the most difficult one.

From the decision to cooperate with the official, the two sides negotiated the project, to the construction of the research institute and the star ring, and the current experiment announced a success, it took him too much thought. This technology involves too many fields. In the science and technology library, he came up with a lot of material technology and production technology to successfully complete it.

Seeing those academicians and experts crying like children, Li Chengzhi felt a little sad, but just applauded quietly from the side.

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

Zhao Min was also happy from the bottom of her heart. This was one of the few times when she saw Chen Mo lose his temper.

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

A change in human history is already in his hands, and 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 reluctance, and smiled: "What do you want to do most now?"

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

puff...

Zhao Min was amused and threw him a blank eye.

The atmosphere of joy in the command center was still there. Many researchers shouted hoarsely, and they only clapped, ignoring their red palms.

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