Chapter 438 Ignition
As Wu Tong issued his order, the entire laboratory began to get busy with the sound of the experiment starting. The power switch was turned on, and the wires began to work as expected, limiting the flow of current. At the same time, Wu Tong began to observe the increase in the maximum magnetic field data. Their goal for this experiment was to increase the magnetic field data to more than 50T.
Magnetic field confinement has always been the most fundamental requirement for plasma control. The controllability of controlled nuclear fusion lies in these two essential words. As the statistical data on the display screen gradually climbed, until it exceeded Wu Tong's expectations, in a short period of power-on time, it had already reached the extraordinary data of 66T.
"66T, Mr. Wu, we powered on successfully, we surpassed, we did it, 666T!" While Wu Tong was still staring at the data, Academician Wan and Academician Cheng, as well as Cheng Lao, Lu Xiao, Tao Ran, Ruan Chengxu and others who were in the observation room with Wu Tong, all cheered excitedly. With just this one data, they have already left the world far behind.
Being able to achieve this important data means that they have successfully ignited and are running stably, and have basically achieved controllable success.
"Good data, the coil is powered on normally. Let's check again whether all the devices are normal. Next, we will face the real challenge!" Wu Tong smiled, happy for the successful power-on, while maintaining his usual cautious and correct attitude. They have just taken the first step towards the finish line of a long march!
"Minister Chu, I'm reporting to you that the orbital device of the Golden Crow Stellar Simulator has been successfully assembled, and the power-on test of the superconducting coil has just been successfully verified. Now I sincerely invite you to visit and witness the ignition test at ten o'clock tomorrow!"
When Wu Tong was checking the device again, he smiled at the excitement of the R&D staff and made an invitation call! Tomorrow is the most critical ignition test, and they sincerely invite Chu Hengyuan, who has supported them the most in the past six months, to come to the site to supervise the ignition test on behalf of the superiors.
The Jinwu Project was able to proceed smoothly and was so close to being successfully ignited. All of this was inseparable from the strong support from above. Now they finally have the results to be accepted! "By the way, please take me to report to the higher-ups. The Jinwu Project requests ignition. Tomorrow is the motherland's birthday, and we will present a gift to our great motherland!"
"Mr. Wu, permission to ignite the power is granted. Please make all arrangements. Xiao Chu must be here early tomorrow to witness the miracle moment on our behalf!" When Wu Tong reported the successful power-on, Chu Hengyuan immediately used another special red landline phone to dial the number above and put the phone on loud speaker so that the person on the other end of the line could hear Wu Tong's passionate request in person.
Immediately, a steady and majestic voice was transmitted to Wu Tong through the microphone. Wu Tong smiled even more, "Please wait for good news, we will definitely live up to your trust!"
"Mr. Wu, we have always trusted you. Please take the lead. We will never forget your contribution and hard work. Please allow me to prepare a celebration banquet for you tomorrow!" The voice on the other end was smiling, offering the greatest authority and the best wishes.
Ignition is allowed. These four resounding instructions were transmitted from Wu Tong to the entire project team, every corner, and every responsible staff member.
Following this command, all R&D personnel were fully alert. For them, this was the glorious moment that they, the fusion people, had been waiting for and anticipating for a long time.
October began under the glory of the rising sun. Early in the morning, all the R&D personnel of the Jinwu Project were in high spirits, walking back and forth, and making final preparations for the experiment. When the time came to nine o'clock, all the staff were in place, and Chu Hengyuan had also arrived at the scene. Along with Chu Hengyuan, there was also a group of special personnel, that is, the camera team of the national TV station's evening news.
This team consists of only a few people, and each of them was selected after repeated inspections to ensure they were reliable. Even before they actually arrived at the scene, they did not know what their mission was. When they arrived at the scene, there were also special security personnel who were responsible for one-on-one monitoring and assisting them to complete today's filming task.
It was only when they arrived at the scene and looked at the scene that was already prepared that they realized that their task today was to film the new controlled nuclear fusion project. The success would be broadcasted in the national broadcast at 7 o'clock in the evening, and everything had been prepared.
They will be the first to report such important news in person, which makes several members of the camera team, who came here with trepidation, instantly feel proud and excited. They thank their superiors for trusting them to be responsible for this special broadcast.
They will definitely do their best to complete the most important record!
"Power on and heat up!"
At nine o'clock, with all personnel in place, all test results correct, all preparations complete, and everyone's spirits fully mobilized, Wu Tong issued another order.
Following Wu Tong's instructions, the operations were carried out like a caliper, and the current shuttled steadily through the superconducting coil. The good superconductivity allowed the entire current to pass through instantly without excessive consumption. The current was raised to the required value, and the superconducting coils in the insulator nails worked well and fully exerted their superior performance.
The magnetic field of the stellarator began to meet the requirements as the coil current progressed. Wu Tong's eyes were fixed on the parameters surging on the computer in the observation room. When she saw the set of parameters she needed, her eyes lit up instantly and she gave a steady command again: "Start injecting helium!"
"Yes!" As the order was given, Academician He responded steadily and performed this action personally.
Under the steady operation of Academician He, the pipeline connected to the inside of the Jinwu stellarator device injected a predetermined amount of helium into the reaction chamber of the Jinwu stellarator device.
No matter how excited Academician Du He was at this moment, he was fully restrained and maintained his hands without any trembling, showing the steadiness of a senior R&D personnel!
A certain amount of helium is steadily injected into the vacuum reaction chamber, slowly filling up. Although it looks thin, it represents absolute energy. All this helium is a valuable special product condensed from the seawater purification project.
As the micro-blog heating device starts, the temperature in the reaction chamber gradually begins to rise and keeps rising until the temperature reaches the constant requirement and the plasma gradually takes shape!
