"Mr. Wu, all the equipment and parts have been delivered. All the staff are in place and arranged properly. We can start the assembly process at any time. Please give us your instructions!" After checking again and again, Academician He and Academician Wan reported excitedly that they were finally waiting for the last moment, which was also the most critical step.
Success or failure depends on this one move! They can't wait, and all the staff are rubbing their hands in anticipation. Everyone's enthusiasm has been ignited to the peak, and they are fully prepared!
“Start assembling!”
Wu Tong, never one to hesitate, checked everything and immediately gave the order, commencing the final assembly phase. With the blueprints complete, the entire Golden Crow Star Simulator device was finally assembled, with serial numbers fully labeled and detailed down to every component. Everyone worked with utmost concentration to ensure that nothing was missed.
With the entire project team working together, a week later, the main body of the Jinwu stellarator was completed, and the coil track laying phase began. All materials had been delivered, and the superconducting material for the coil track, with all production reserves, was currently the most important supply for the Jinwu project. A sufficient amount of conductor had already been transported to the experimental base for coil laying.
According to the optimal coil plan deduced and designed by Wu Tong, the modification was first carried out, and the wires were modified according to the planned rules to successfully assemble the coils. In order to ensure that the coil outputs a stable magnetic field during the power-on process and eliminate potential safety hazards, Wu Tong had already made specific avoidance plans in the design.
According to Wu Tong's plan, a circle of sturdy insulator brackets was installed on the outside of each set of collective coils to ensure the stability of the collective coils and the maximum conductivity of the wires.
After all, for a sophisticated device like a stellarator, even a one-millimeter shake in the wire coil could lead to a serious experimental accident.
With such a large device, if there were even the slightest leak, it would be a major event! After all, the temperature of a star is simulated inside the stellarator...
Therefore, the stability and safety of the device must be the first factor to be considered, and everything must be developed and designed around this core.
Throughout the entire assembly process, Wu Tong remained in command. She personally developed and drew the blueprints, knowing the positions of every component by heart. Her eyes were her measuring stick; even the slightest misstep would prompt Wu Tong to halt the process and adjust it.
"Mr. Wu, the coil assembly is complete!"
"Track laying as planned!"
With the final coils belonging to the giant's legs of the stellarator device completed, the entire behemoth stellarator device, like a golden crow born from the ancient times, truly came into the world!
By now, it was September 20th. The installation of the entire stellarator and the laying of the coils had been gradually completed over time. Witnessing the birth of this massive object, all the R&D personnel involved were practically moved to tears. It had been so difficult. Their Golden Crow had finally arrived, ready to showcase her extraordinary splendor!
The sheer amount of technology involved and the countless obstacles they've overcome are practically countless. If it weren't for Boss Wu, who single-handedly led the charge and remained resilient despite countless setbacks, it would seem that no difficulty would have moved her, even a frown. She had already overcome major technical challenges from the outset of the project, providing them with a source of confidence...
Otherwise, there would be no miracle of the birth of the Golden Crow today!
"Check the installation of each component of the device!"
Standing before the completed Golden Crow star simulator, watching the staff conduct the final flaw detection and inspection, Wu Tong's heart surged with excitement. After more than half a year, her Golden Crow was finally about to reveal its power to the world. This was arguably the longest project she had undertaken since she began her scientific research career.
This condenses all her energy and hard work over the past six months. Now, the time has finally come for her to accept the results!
For a small device, a check might be a quick affair, but for something as massive as the Golden Crow Star Simulator, a successful check might take just one to two days. Even the initial check after assembly took a full three days, which is not uncommon. This is the result of the full cooperation and unwavering dedication of the entire project team's engineers!
It’s simply that the Golden Crow Stellar Simulator orbital device is too large and too important, so everyone is treating it with caution!
"Mr. Wu, everything is in order. The results of multiple tests are correct!"
"Excellent results, thanks to everyone's hard work. Prepare to power on!" Standing in front of the computer in the control room of the vast core laboratory, Wu Tong issued the final order. The entire control room was made of special glass, as clear as a mirror. Standing slightly above the control panel, one could immediately see the outline of the Golden Crow.
Just by crouching there quietly, you can feel its grandeur.
Surrounded by dense coils, the massive object resembled a steel monster, both intimidating and awe-inspiring. It was like a Golden Crow gathering strength, waiting to be reborn from the flames, about to harness the power of the stars.
It is already September 30th, and the first operational test of the Jinwu stellarator device is about to begin. The cameras have been fully prepared, and all staff members are in their positions, waiting for the final instructions.
Standing beside Wu Tong, Academicians Wan and He were both filled with anticipation. Academician Wan reported calmly, "Mr. Wu, the divertor is operating normally, and the results are as perfect as expected. We have made all preparations and request to begin the experiment!"
Hearing Academician Wan's joyful and eager report, Wu Tong smiled and gave a straightforward order: "Then start! Turn on the power!"
The first experiment was to calibrate the superconducting coils, which are the basis of the magnetic field that confines the plasma and are also their core stability foundation. Only when the superconducting coils are perfect can they fill them with helium to perform a real fusion reaction.
Their first task was to conduct a power-on test to verify the coil's magnetic field. This involved confirming that the coil could stably pass the maximum current, that the maximum magnetic field strength of the external field coil exceeded the theoretical limit of 50T, and that the temperature of the high-density plasma within the chamber could reach 100 million degrees Celsius.
Before starting a real fusion reaction, these basic data must be confirmed in advance. Everything is for the real fusion reaction to proceed smoothly.
