One month later.
Xia Guocang Bay.
The sea was calm, and an aircraft carrier was quietly docked more than ten kilometers from the shore for "repairs".
Zooming in, you can clearly see that the ship's guns and missile ports on the deck are all open!
Inside the aircraft carrier, the all-weather radar is operating at maximum power!
To outsiders, this war fortress appears to be simply a place for docking and repairs.
However, it is prepared to launch an attack at any time!
On the shore, countless stationed soldiers patrolled their designated areas in an orderly manner.
Every soldier had the safety on their gun fully engaged!
Starting two days ago, the Canghai Bay area has been completely under military control!
It's no exaggeration to say that at this time, even a dog passing by the Canghai Bay would get slapped twice!
The reason for all this is that the Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor on the shore of Canghai Bay will soon begin its first ignition test!
...
The main control center of the Pangu-1 fusion demonstration reactor.
Lu Yongchang stood solemnly on the central control console, his eyes fixed on the various data displayed on the large screen in front of him.
"Prepare for the first ignition!"
Lu Yongchang slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and said in a deep voice, "Attention all departments, begin checking the operation of all equipment!"
As soon as Lü Yongchang gave the order, all the researchers in the main control center began to work with serious expressions!
In the past few days, every researcher has been constantly reviewing the fusion reactor ignition operation procedures, all in order to ensure that no mistakes occur at the moment of fusion reactor ignition!
"The cooling system is functioning normally!"
"The reactor is operating normally!"
"..."
Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Start connecting the power!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep humming sound slowly emanated from outside the main control room!
"Current has reached the critical value! Magnetic field strength confirmed to meet standard!"
A researcher stared intently at the computer screen in front of him and reported loudly!
"Turn on the heating equipment and inject fuel!"
As the order was issued, a hint of melancholy flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes.
Finally, we've reached the last step!
With a serious expression, he resolutely reached out and pressed the red button in front of him.
"Start ignition!"
Inside the reactor, a high-energy laser instantly heated the temperature of the deuterium-tritium plasma to hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius!
Lu Yongchang stared intently at the large screen in front of him, which was responsible for monitoring various data of the fusion reactor.
The neutron dose has increased dramatically!
The fusion reaction has been successfully triggered!
A flicker of excitement flashed deep in his eyes.
In less than six months, will the light of fusion ignite across the land of Xia?!
...
A corner of the central control room of the Pangu No. 1 reactor.
Lu He stared intently at the fluctuating temperature curve in front of him.
He reached out and gently rubbed his right eye.
For some unknown reason, ever since the ignition process began, his right eyelid has been twitching uncontrollably!
As a native of Xia, Lu Hezheng couldn't help but think of that ancient saying.
A twitching left eye means good fortune, while a twitching right eye means bad luck.
Although Lu Hezheng didn't really believe such things deep down, but...
To be honest, he's feeling really uneasy right now.
Suddenly, he saw the temperature curve on the screen abruptly turn upwards and jump!
Although it was only for a moment, it still made Lu Hezheng's heart tremble.
He quickly reached up to adjust his glasses and carefully examined the temperature curve.
The temperature curve remained stable at this point, returning to its normal fluctuation range.
It was as if the terrifying fluctuations in the curve just now were all an illusion.
Lu Hezheng swallowed hard, his hands trembling slightly as he picked up the ballpoint pen and draft paper beside him.
Lines of scribbled equations appeared on the draft paper.
No, no, no!
A bloodshot appeared deep in Lu Hezheng's eyes.
The unusual temperature fluctuation just now was definitely not just an accident!
In such a sophisticated instrument, any data fluctuation that exceeds the normal range should be taken seriously!
But what exactly went wrong?
Lu Hezheng substituted the data from that instant into the formula.
Upon seeing the calculation results, Lu Hezheng's pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpoints!
this……
"Quick! Stop the fusion reaction! Something's wrong!"
Lu Hezheng suddenly stood up and shouted loudly!
In the quiet central control room, Lu Hezheng's roar was particularly jarring.
The smile on Lü Yongchang's lips vanished instantly!
Without a moment to think, the instant he heard Lu Hezheng's voice, he reached out and pressed the forced termination button in front of him!
"Buzz..."
A low, humming sound came through.
As the current through the superconducting coil gradually decreases, the magnetic field inside the reactor gradually dissipates.
The fusion reaction also weakens until it stops!
As the dosage displayed on the large screen in front of them rapidly decreased, a murmur of discussion instantly filled the central control room.
"What's going on...?"
"Isn't that Lu Hezheng, who's in charge of the temperature module? What happened?"
"The temperature right now... is pretty normal!"
At this moment, Lü Yongchang stared intently at the large screen in front of him until he confirmed that the fusion reaction had completely stopped. Only then did he turn around and look at Lu Hezheng with a frown.
The moment Lü Yongchang saw Lu Hezheng, his heart skipped a beat!
At this moment, Lu Hezheng's face was deathly pale, his hands were trembling slightly, and his pupils had shrunk to the size of pinpoints!
