The world's attention is focused on China, particularly the coastal area of Hebei Province, where a controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor is being constructed. Many organizations are eager to explore its mysteries. However, despite the well-protected environment, even those with limited access are bound to be disappointed.
ITER, NAA, many similar conversations, almost angry roars, echoed inside and outside the laboratory.
"SHIT... How did they overcome these obstacles? How did they find the interacting neutron source? How did they solve the problem of the material's radiation resistance? How did they solve the problem of tritium self-sustaining in the reactor? And how did they solve the problem of superconducting materials and plasma confinement?"
Clearly, everyone was facing similar difficulties, and there were still so many unresolved problems. Damn it, how on earth did they manage to circumvent these obstacles, solve the problems, and build a demonstration reactor?
If it were said that when the news first came out, everyone might still suspect that the other party was cheating, but with the other party's tough attitude and a series of actions, they had to admit that the other party might have really broken through various technical barriers, really mastered the controlled nuclear fusion technology, and harnessed the power of stars!
Although, by using the inertia of the fuel and the magnetic cage formed by the strong current to initiate pulse ignition within the microsecond time range, under the mixed magnetic and inertial restraint method, they once achieved the world record in temperature!
But people who truly understand fusion reactions know that fusion reactions are never about the temperature limit. For fusion reactions, temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius are enough. Even if the most ideal material He3 is used to achieve second and third generation controlled nuclear fusion technology, the critical temperature is only the high temperature level of 600 million degrees Celsius!
The key to breakthroughs in controlled fusion technology has never been in plasma heating methods, but rather in maintaining the confinement of ultra-high-temperature plasma. They boast of their advanced technology for years but haven't yet achieved this. How could the other side have achieved it?
Is it just because they have the Queen of Mathematics? Which of their research institutes doesn't have mathematicians on board? And there are countless mathematicians out there. Why haven't they achieved this?
Or is it that the other party is hiding something and just pushing the queen of mathematics to the front?

However, no matter how furious the many research institutions were, it didn't affect the Jinwu Demonstration Reactor project's progress towards success under heavy protection. In fact, amidst their uncontrollable panic, China officially announced that it would conduct a controlled nuclear fusion ignition test on Chinese New Year's Eve. However, their news was released by the other party, and the ignition time was less than twelve hours away.
At present, there is almost no means to stop the other party's actions!
Many organizations were in an uproar amidst the impossibility.
However, more people, especially in China, are also looking forward to the feast that will ignite the fire of prosperity and help the rise of a great power as they celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
On January 30, 2014, the rising sun just jumped out of the sea level, dispelling the previous fog and indicating that today is a rare day of good weather.
For many people, at this moment, they may not have woken up yet and are still sleeping soundly.
However, the R&D personnel at the Jinwu Demonstration Reactor Engineering Base in the Ruhaikou area had already entered a busy and orderly workday. In other words, many of them had stayed up all night, working in shifts to conduct final inspections and confirmations of the Jinwu Demonstration Reactor and its associated equipment.
The security personnel also increased their vigilance throughout the base. Inside the base, well-equipped security personnel checked almost every inch and patrolled back and forth. The entire base and the area within several kilometers were all key checkpoints. All pedestrians and tourists were intercepted and persuaded to leave and were not allowed to approach.
To ensure that all safety hazards and potential threats are eliminated, the ignition of the Jinwu demonstration reactor will be carried out today without any disturbance.
All kinds of protective arrangements and early warning considerations were factored into the simulations, and the surrounding defense forces were prepared to handle any sudden changes. They met this ignition safety test with a seriousness even greater than that of the Olympic opening ceremony.
The domestic security forces are absolutely reliable, trustworthy, respectable and admirable enough!
Inside the experimental factory, at the core of the nuclear power plant, the entire assembled Golden Crow Pile stands before all the researchers and developers. Just standing there, it exudes endless majesty.
The staff who had experience in the research and development of the Golden Crow stellarator device felt deeply at this moment that the stellarator orbit device they had developed before was really dwarfed by the one in front of them. Everyone's eyes were amazed and obsessed. This was the real divine beast Golden Crow.
All R&D personnel are carrying out the final verification and inspection, checking and inspecting over and over again, just to ensure that every detail is refined and foolproof. Every detail is related to the success or failure of today's ignition. They cannot afford the possibility of failure, nor can they let their small omissions lead to the failure of the entire Jinwu project!
From the core to the coil, from the supercomputer to the intelligent program, from the plasma control plan to the entire auxiliary power generation group and heating device... these components, which embody the hard work of everyone present for several months, now form the divine beast Golden Crow before their eyes.
They finally completed the last step and passed the final inspection without error. For the R&D personnel present, this meant that this research and development trip could be temporarily put to an end.
"Mr. Wu, the final inspection is complete. Everything is confirmed to be correct. We can proceed to the ignition test!" Academician He, who was in charge of the final inspection of the ignition test, suppressed his excitement and gave Wu Tong the final report. They had already conducted countless inspections and confirmations, and they personally checked every detail.
Mr. Wu personally supervised the assembly of each component. They almost touched the entire core configuration of the huge Jinwu demonstration reactor with their own hands.
All inspections were complete, and all non-essential R&D engineers were escorted out in an orderly fashion by security personnel. Meanwhile, inside and outside the control room, located in another direction, all preparations were being carried out in an orderly fashion.
The final assembly procedures for the Jinwu demonstration reactor had actually been completed several days prior. During repeated verification checks, they also conducted several simulations surrounding the ignition, thoroughly refining the safety manual and taking into account all possible contingencies.
