Chapter 220 Chapter 220 [Jinjiang Exclusive,...
After the conversation that day, Academician Liu returned to the Academy of Engineering with great excitement, and immediately began to arrange for people to research and manufacture related parts, determined to strangle those foreigners once the research was completed.
However, before he left, Lin Yimu did not forget to talk about the nuclear fusion test reactor.
Academician Liu came to the Institute of Aerospace, but ended up bringing back a bunch of tasks, not to mention how the researchers at the Academy of Engineering complained.
Lin Yimu, on the other hand, did not have any free time at all. After talking with Academician Liu, Lin Yimu went to find people from the military on the spot and reported the issue of the location for building the nuclear fusion reactor to them.
It is impossible to build it here in Beijing, besides the fact that there are too many people and too little land. The most important thing is that once the construction of the experimental reactor begins, it will be impossible to keep such a big movement secret. Given the density of population in Beijing, there will probably be a lot of people coming to inquire about the news.
After receiving Lin Yimu's response, the higher-ups acted quickly and directly arranged for Lin Yimu's team to go to the Satellite Launch Center in Province G, which is the most advanced and largest aerospace experimental base outside of Beijing.
On the day when the above news came down, Lin Yimu and his party immediately set off for their destination under the strict protection of the military.
In order to maintain complete confidentiality, everyone's communication equipment was temporarily confiscated, and was not even returned to them after they arrived at the base.
On the day they arrived at the base, Lin Yimu and his team did not have time to rest, and directly started to select a site and set up their laboratory.
It took them two days to prepare everything, which meant that other researchers at the experimental base who originally wanted to communicate with them didn't get any chance at all. They could only sigh in their hearts that their team was so efficient and resolute.
After everything was arranged, everyone started their unfinished experiments step by step, while Lin Yimu and several people from the Academy of Engineering went to check the terrain and choose a site to build a nuclear fusion test reactor.
The place finally chosen was a desert not far from the experimental base. There was no one around there, and no one would notice any big noise.
After selecting the site, Lin Yimu had nothing to do with the construction. He returned to the laboratory and continued to study the application of nuclear fusion technology to manned space flight with Huang Minglei, Ke Chengyan and others.
However, this experiment is not something that Lin Yimu and his team can solve behind closed doors.
This time, Lin Yimu and his team took the initiative to contact the local experimental team that was researching space rockets, and discussed some issues related to power and fuel with them. They even followed them in person to find out how their experimental progress differed from that in Beijing. They found that there was actually not much difference between them, and the biggest problem was still thrust and fuel kinetic energy.
After observing each other for nearly half a month, Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei also determined that there was no problem with their research direction, and then began their daily routine of spending day and night in the laboratory.
Those who came to the experimental base this time were all young people who had done research in mathematics, physics and aerospace. Professor Jiang and Professor Zheng did not come, and even some people from the materials group did not come.
However, Professor Jiang’s students, Senior Brother Liang and Senior Brother Duan, did come together, along with Senior Brother Zhou and several others who followed Professor Zheng.
Precisely because there are fewer people coming, they have to do the work of several people per person. However, it is also relatively easier to manage, and any problems can be discovered and solved in a timely manner.
......
Time passed quickly, and Lin Yimu and a group of people participating in the experiment sat in front of the machines they controlled, their faces full of excitement and nervousness.
Lin Yimu sat in front of the main control console, took a deep breath of the cold air, wiped the sweat from his palms, and stared at the display screen in front of him with a serious expression.
After several months of working day and night in the laboratory, everyone finally made every step of the experiment and calculation as precise as possible. After the nuclear fusion test reactor was built, they finally ushered in this most important moment today. All their efforts depend on today.
Sitting in front of the console, Lin Yimu thought of everyone's hard work day and night in the past year or so. In order to research the required data, each of them had tossed and turned in the middle of the night, and some even scratched their heads for a precise value.
Every one of them present had lost a lot of weight compared to when they first joined the team. Some even delayed going to the hospital despite being sick just because of a sudden inspiration for this project. Some people also had to wear glasses as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle in just over a year.
Everyone has worked so hard for this moment today.
Lin Yimu closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, turned to look at the people around him and asked, "Are you ready?"
Huang Minglei and others were also staring at the screen in front of them excitedly. When they heard his question, they didn't say anything, but made an OK gesture to him, indicating that everything was ready.
After receiving the reply, Lin Yimu calmed down a little, but his voice was still trembling.
"three......"
"two......"
"one......"
"ignition!"
As Lin Yimu's slightly trembling voice fell, everyone in the laboratory subconsciously held their breath and began to operate the instruments in their hands at the same time.
At the same time, Lin Yimu also pressed the button at hand that would determine the success or failure of everything.
At the same time, the tokamak began to operate, and the elemental particles inside collided and rubbed against each other visibly, generating more and more energy.
Everyone stared at everything in front of them with great anticipation, and their mood began to become tense as the energy gathered. No one moved for a long time until the energy was transmitted through the superconductor and the entire aerospace experimental base turned from darkness to light.
After an unknown amount of time, someone finally murmured quietly, "Did we...really succeed?"
As these words rang out, everyone came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream, their eyes wide open with excitement and excitement, some sentimental people already had tears in their eyes.
"Great, we finally succeeded!"
"Ahhh! We succeeded, we finally succeeded. It was worth all my hard work day and night for more than a year. I even lost a lot of hair... woooo..."
"Lin Yimu, we finally succeeded! That's great!"
Looking at the experimental base which had not had any problems so far, every researcher present hugged each other excitedly and cheered.
Even Huang Minglei, who was sitting next to Lin Yimu, excitedly gave Lin Yimu a bear hug. Even Ke Chengyan, who was usually introverted and taciturn, was so excited that his face turned red. He ran up and gave the two of them a big hug.
Lin Yimu looked at the brightly lit scene outside, and his tense heart relaxed. He smiled, hugged the two of them and said happily, "Yes, we finally succeeded."
As he said this, Lin Yimu glanced at the watch on his wrist, which showed that two hours had passed.
Before them, among the countries researching controlled nuclear fusion, the country with the longest ignition time was Country M, but it was only less than a hundred seconds, while their experiment lasted a full two hours.
During these two hours, all the data were normal. Even now, there have been no problems. The energy is still being output steadily and continuously. This shows that they have truly conquered nuclear fusion technology and are at the forefront of the world.
After being happy, Lin Yimu quickly calmed himself down, because what he succeeded in was only controlled nuclear fusion, and the next step was to apply nuclear fusion technology in aerospace.
Although they have simulated this hundreds and thousands of times in the laboratory, real experiments and data simulations are ultimately different.
Lin Yimu exhaled deeply, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone calm down first. Although the success of our nuclear fusion technology is a good thing, don't forget our ultimate goal, which is the combination of manned space flight and nuclear fusion technology."
"Next, we will conduct the last physical experiment of the project. Everyone go back and have a good rest tonight. In the next few days, we will connect with the people from the aerospace experiment to complete this manned space experiment. As long as the nuclear fusion technology is successfully applied, then everyone can really take a vacation."
After Lin Yimu said this, although everyone was still excited, they slowly calmed down. Except for a few people who were on guard to prevent any accidents, the rest of them had to go back to have a good rest and prepare for the next experiment.
On the way back to the dormitory, people were talking in groups of three or four about the success of the experiment and their plans after the holiday.
Lin Yimu, Huang Minglei and Ke Chengyan were the last to leave.
Seeing the excited and happy expressions of the researchers in front of him, Huang Minglei glanced at the silent Lin Yimu and said, "Today is such a happy day, why do I feel that you are not very happy?"
Lin Yimu shook his head. "No, I'm actually quite happy, but there's still one last experiment to do, and I feel a bit uneasy."
This is what he really thinks, but it is not the whole truth.
It was true that he couldn't be completely happy because he still had an experiment to do, but that wasn't the whole reason.
Another reason is because of the system.
After he completed the nuclear fusion experiment, 001, who had been out of contact for a long time, appeared. In addition to congratulating him on completing the nuclear fusion experiment, the most important thing was to remind him that as long as tomorrow's space experiment was successful, they would have to separate.
Having been with 001 for such a long time, he has always benefited from 001's help and has always treated the other party as a family member. How could he be happy?
"You, it seems like you are destined to be a hard worker. You can still think about experiments when you are so happy. I really don't know what to say to you. Sometimes you really spoil the fun." Huang Minglei rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.
Lin Yimu just smiled and said nothing. Sometimes he was indeed such a person and it was impossible to refute.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore. Go back and have a good rest tonight. You still have a lot of work to do next."
When they reached the dormitory door, Huang Minglei waved his hand, and the three of them returned to their dormitories.
......
January 15, 2017, is the day when Lin Yimu’s team and the aerospace rocket research and development team cooperated to conduct experiments.
On this day, one month had passed since Lin Yimu completed the controlled nuclear fusion experiment, and there had been no errors on the nuclear fusion test bench so far.
And today, there are only five days left until the deadline of Lin Yimu’s mission.
Looking at the aerospace test bench in front of him and the person in charge of the aerospace project sitting in front of the master controller, Lin Yimu felt even more nervous than when they were conducting experiments on nuclear fusion technology.
As everyone reported their situations one by one, Lin Yimu couldn't help but clench his fists. The damp feeling in his palms reminded him that he was already sweating from nervousness.
As everyone finished their debugging reports, the general manager said in the expectation of everyone: "Everything is ready, launch!"
As the person in charge finished speaking, the manned space rocket installed on the launch tower ejected a magnificent and beautiful red flame the next moment, flew towards the sky at an extremely fast speed, and soon disappeared from view.
Lin Yimu's eyes were fixed on the electronic display screen in front of the general manager, which showed the trajectory of the spacecraft.
Shortly after the spacecraft flew into space, everyone's eyes were fixed on the large display screen on the wall, which showed images of space.
After the spacecraft enters the space orbit, the space rocket gradually extinguishes and separates from the main body.
However, these rockets did not disintegrate after separating from the main body. Instead, they reignited after moving away from the main body of the spacecraft and returned to the ground at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.
Everyone was looking at the manned spacecraft being safely sent into space and the rocket returning quickly on the other side, and they were all looking at each other excitedly.
After a while, everyone came back to their senses from their disbelief.
"It really worked, and the speed has increased several times!" One of the researchers looked at the data and images on the display screen, his tone full of disbelief.
"This, this is incredible. It took less than two hours to reach space from land. This is too exaggerated."
"I, I thought that sending people into space in my lifetime would be a success, but I never thought that we could achieve this level now."
......
"Yes! We have safely reached the planned orbit!"
Amid the murmurs of disbelief from the crowd, the person in charge, who had been paying attention to the navigation chart and maintaining communication with the astronauts, shouted excitedly.
This shout shifted everyone's attention to the instrument in front of them again.
As time went by, the spacecraft slowly moved forward in the predetermined orbit, and arrived at its destination, the moon, at an extremely fast speed under the thrust of the rocket.
The rocket that returned alone also landed on the ground within the expected time.
Everyone listened to the astronauts' announcement of safety and arrival at the destination over the microphone, took a look at the total time taken, and jumped up from their seats excitedly.
"Aaaaaah! That's great! I actually got to see a spacecraft traveling between the Earth and the Moon in 6 hours and back in my lifetime!"
"It's incredible. I was able to witness a miracle. A distance of 384,400 kilometers was reached in just 6 hours!"
"Is nuclear fusion really that powerful as a fuel? It takes less time than flying abroad. It's incredible."
"At this rate, it would only take us a few minutes to transport things to the moon. It's even faster than express delivery."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Yi Mu with fiery intent. If they were not still busy with their work, they would have surrounded Lin Yi Mu the next moment.
When Lin Yimu saw the result, he was very excited and couldn't help but cheer with everyone.
Before Lin Yimu could say anything, the main system, which had been dormant, suddenly spoke, "Host Lin Yimu, you have completed the manned space mission in excess of the specified time. You will be rewarded with the interstellar technology tree and cutting-edge materials and papers on all subjects."
Main System: "Congratulations to the host Lin Yimu for completing the final task of the system. The reward has been distributed to the system space. I hope that the host will not forget to protect his home planet while developing technology from now on.
The system tasks of "Study, Learn, Strengthen and Country" have been completed and will be untied from the host soon. I wish the host happiness for the rest of his life, but don't forget to study. We will see each other again if we are lucky! ”
After hearing the voice in his mind, Lin Yimu's happy expression froze, revealing a hint of reluctance and sadness. He wanted to speak to keep him, but thinking of his previous conversation with Professor Wen, he opened his mouth and finally closed it again.
I just said silently in my heart: "Goodbye 001, goodbye main system. I hope you can return to your own time and space and successfully save your home planet."
"Goodbye host, nice to meet you, be happy, and take good care of your home planet!"
In a trance, Lin Yimu heard 001's whispered blessing, and then he felt his head go blank for a moment.
When I came back to my senses, all I could hear were the happy cheers of the researchers around me and an entire library standing there in my mind.
There are also lush trees emitting a bright green light next to the library. However, if you look closely, they are not real trees, but a holographic projection. Each leaf is a book, and you can understand all the knowledge points inside by clicking on it.
Seeing the things left by the system, Lin Yimu suddenly felt upset and tears unconsciously slid down the corners of his eyes.
This time he truly realized that the system had really left him.
The system that had accompanied him for two lifetimes was really... gone.
"You didn't even give me a proper farewell." Lin Yimu lowered his head and muttered softly, his voice choked with sobs.
The general manager at the side vaguely heard Lin Yimu's voice, but didn't hear it clearly. He thought he was talking to him, so he turned to look at him. Just as he was about to ask, he was frightened by Lin Yimu's tearful face.
"No, Xiaomu, what's wrong with you? Shouldn't you be happy that the experiment was successful? Why are you crying?"
When Lin Yimu heard the voice beside him, he turned his gaze towards the other person, wiped his face quickly, and explained with a forced smile: "I am crying because I am so happy."
"Is that so? You really scared me. If you're happy, stop crying. See those guys over there? You should be like them when you're happy."
As he spoke, the person in charge motioned for Lin Yimu to look at the other side where several young researchers were hugging each other and jumping for joy.
Of course Lin Yimu noticed them, but he was not in a happy mood at the moment. Although the experiment was successful, he also lost his relatives and partners.
But Lin Yimu was rational and knew clearly that the system had its own mission, and he could not selfishly keep them, nor could he...keep them.
The person in charge was also very happy at this time. After confirming that there was no problem with the astronauts, he left someone here to keep in touch with them at all times, and then wanted to take Lin Yimu to celebrate.
"Come on, let's go celebrate. Your nuclear fusion technology is very successful. It is also very remarkable when applied to the aerospace field. This is something that should be celebrated. Come on, call your team members to celebrate together. Otherwise, after today, you will be busy again."
"good."
Lin Yimu didn't want to spoil the fun, so he hid his emotions and responded.
