Chapter 556 The Last Hurdle
In the summer of 1982,
For Mo Dao, it was a rather special time.
In most of the past lives, this was the end of one life.
And this life relies on human hibernation technology,
Mo Dao still has some time before the end of his life.
My body is not as old as in previous lives.
“…15,591,363”
"...Mo Yuan, what's wrong?"
For Mo Dao in this life,
This is just an ordinary afternoon,
Just like the previous few days, the lunar surface base that is still completely transformed into an interstellar city at this moment,
Participated in and presided over the research on heavy nuclear fusion technology, and was looking at the data on the short-lived heavy nuclear fusion reaction produced by the last experimental device.
After flipping through another piece of information in my hand,
Mo Dao paused briefly, raised his head and looked at the time displayed in the cabin.
Another core researcher who noticed Mo Dao's actions didn't dare to disturb him. Only after Mo Dao withdrew his gaze could he help but ask.
"It's okay, I just remembered something. It has nothing to do with the research on third-generation fusion technology."
Mo Dao just smiled and responded like this.
Mo Dao's memory of that extremely familiar special moment is naturally very clear, not to mention that with the memory that has been growing over the years, it is even more impossible to forget.
In fact, when Mo Dao raised his head after flipping through the information in his hand, time had already passed that moment.
But it's nothing,
For this life, it is just an ordinary summer afternoon.
…
The passage of 82 years has not had any impact on the most important third-generation fusion technology research project currently being carried out by Qiusuo Research Institute.
That was just a very small episode.
Throughout the year 1982, after the previous two years, many large-scale experiments of heavy nuclear fusion were carried out at the space test site regardless of the cost,
Based on a large amount of data obtained from multiple large-scale experiments,
Mo Dao and the Qiusuo Research Institute research team led by Mo Dao have greatly enhanced their understanding of heavy nuclear fusion technology.
Then, just that year,
Qiusuo Research Institute has launched a plan to build a heavy nuclear fusion experimental reactor that is truly experimental in nature.
Although the current research progress of Qiusuo Research Institute and Modao on heavy nuclear fusion technology is not enough to build an experimental reactor that can operate for a long time,
But unlike previous eras,
In this era, with the blessing of huge productivity, Qiusuo Research Institute has enough opportunities for trial and error, and failure is inevitable.
Even on the current theoretical basis, it would be a bit wasteful to directly build an experimental reactor, but the Qiusuo Research Institute can't afford to waste it.
The only purpose of building this experimental reactor for the Research Institute is to gain experience directly from failures and obtain more data.
Then use the data from the experimental reactor to correct the design plan of the next experimental reactor, and then start the construction of the next experimental reactor.
This cycle repeats until it reaches the standard of a demonstration reactor or a commercial reactor.
This is actually a ‘stupid method’.
A less accurate but vivid description is just a little bit of experimentation.
However, Qiusuo Research Institute can afford to try it now.
then,
It took three months, under the leadership of Mo Dao,
Qiusuo Research Institute completed the theoretical design of the first experimental reactor. In another two months,
Suigu was responsible for building it from the lunar industrial center and transporting it to the space test site.
There is no doubt that
There are many problems in this experimental pile.
Many of these problems are areas that cannot be solved by Qiusuo Research Institute in a short period of time and are still in the fog.
For these questions, the choice in the design and construction of this experimental reactor is to put it aside temporarily and use subsequent actual experiments to find answers based on data feedback.
And the final result,
It can be said that Qiusuo Research Institute has been aiming to scrap this experimental reactor since it was built from the beginning.
There was nothing surprising about the results.
After the experimental pile is ignited,
With the assistance of Suigu and the remote control of Qiusuo Research Institute,
The experimental reactor runs straight to the highest power, just to obtain more data.
Then, as expected,
After the first ignition of the experimental reactor is completed and runs for 23 seconds,
Extremely hot reactants lose control,
The experimental reactor was destroyed instantly.
Although as the experimental reactor was destroyed, fusion lost the conditions to continue and no explosion could occur.
However, the residual high temperature directly caused a furnace accident in the experimental reactor.
Let the smart spacecraft monitor the experiment nearby, as well as a series of data monitoring equipment,
It was transmitted back to the test site, a spectacular scene.
This failure, for the research team of Qiusu Research Institute,
There is no frustration. This is expected, or in other words, this is the result that the research team wanted.
Immediately after the experiment ended,
Researchers from the relevant research teams of Qiusuo Research Institute are busy.
Collect information and data, analyze the data from this experiment, and prepare for the next round of experiments.
And this time the data,
It will also be of great help to Mo Dao in building a more accurate turbulence model suitable for heavy nuclear fusion reactors.
Time soon entered from 1982 to 1983.
Under the leadership of Mo Dao, the entire Qiusuo Research Institute-related research team and a large number of talented researchers,
Using a similar pattern as before, under Mo Dao, the arms worked closely with the fingers.
In the case where Mo Dao can point out the direction of research, the efficiency of this operating mode is amazing.
At the beginning of 1983,
Relying on the data from the last experimental reactor experiment,
Mo Dao obtained a more accurate theoretical model,
And with Mo Dao controlling the overall situation,
Researchers from the relevant research team of the Qiusuo Research Institute have revised the theoretical design plans of each system and part of the experimental reactor.
In order to meet the specific requirements put forward by Modao to each research team for each part.
Then, this time,
Under Suigu's responsibility, the construction speed of the second experimental reactor was exaggeratedly faster.
After mobilizing part of the productivity of the Earth-Moon Industrial Center at this moment,
In the beginning of a month,
Suigu sent the No. 2 experimental reactor to the space test site.
In addition to a large number of monitoring equipment, more than one helium-3 fusion reactor is installed in the test site.
It is used to supply the energy demand in the initial stage of ignition of heavy nuclear fusion reactor.
The ignition experiment of the No. 2 experimental reactor was carried out as scheduled.
With the support of Mo Dao’s gradually improved theoretical model,
The continuous operation time of Experimental Reactor No. 2 has made a leap forward.
In this ignition experiment, the operating time was maintained for up to one hundred seconds.
The most important thing is that this time the No. 2 experimental reactor was not damaged directly by the furnace after the experiment.
After the scheduled running experiment time of one hundred seconds has expired, Qiusuo Research Institute will
Actively completed the shutdown of the No. 2 experimental reactor.
Although the internal systems of Experimental Reactor No. 2 are still severely damaged and cannot directly start the next round of experiments,
But this is still a huge improvement.
Then,
Just like the previous experimental device.
With the support of sufficient productivity,
Just in this year of 1983,
The Qiusuo Research Institute has built several heavy nuclear fusion experimental reactors in succession. Through continuous experiments, it has revised its understanding of heavy nuclear fusion technology.
The numbers of the heavy nuclear fusion experimental reactor range from No. 2 to No. 8.
but,
After entering March of the following year,
The frantic construction of the experimental reactor at the Qiusuo Research Institute suddenly stopped, and it remained quiet for more than a month.
