You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Chapter 398 God, will he overcome this problem soon?
America, NIF!

NIF, also called the America National Ignition Facility, is the world's largest inertial confinement nuclear fusion device, with 192 high-power lasers. The net energy gain achieved previously is that these high-power lasers emit energy to a small ball with a diameter of less than 1 mm, reaching an ignition state, and then the nuclear fusion reaction releases energy, and the energy exceeds the energy input by the laser.

At that time, this news was all over the screen, and was considered by countless media and people to be a historic breakthrough, not far from the realization of controllable nuclear fusion.

However, people in the scientific community, especially scientists and scholars in the field of controllable nuclear fusion research, all know that that ignition was still far from a controllable nuclear fusion experiment.

While Zhao Mo was busy adjusting the EAST device and starting the verification experiment, the NIF device conducted another ignition experiment.

The main person in charge is the gray-haired Omar, and his student Dr. Anne.

The original plan was in early December last year, but just as the new year was approaching, all kinds of nonsense happened. Not to mention the funds being allocated as scheduled, the funds were almost lost to some congressmen.

Later, it was Energy Secretary JUDY, CIA Director McKinsey, and red-necked congressmen who fought hard to allocate funds, but it took several months for the funds to arrive. The main reason why they were able to allocate funds was the establishment of the "Controllable Nuclear Fusion Research Center" in China and Zhao Mo's leadership. They felt tremendous pressure.

Hanging up the "Controllable Nuclear Fusion Research Center" sign doesn't matter to America.

After all, the brands here change every once in a while, and there is nothing special about them, so America is used to it.

He is a fierce man who won the Fields Medal at the age of 21 and became an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences!

The moment the thermonuclear detonates, more energy is produced, which is then detected by the detection device.

I dare not say that Zhao Mo will definitely be able to achieve controllable nuclear fusion, but what if?
With this reason, the congressmen agreed after insisting for a while.

During this process, the ball core is instantly compressed into smaller balls with a density up to 20 times that of lead and a temperature as high as 1 million degrees Celsius.

Dr. Anne had a happy smile on her face.

This ignition experiment was still led by Dr. Anni, and he, the teacher, was just watching from the side.

Omar praised.

Finally, when the experiment was over and looking at the displayed energy: 3.88 megajoules, Omar and Anne clapped their hands and laughed, then high-fived each other.

There was no doubt that the ignition experiment was successful this time, and he was delighted with the outstanding results of his outstanding student.

Obviously, we put Zhao Mo in the position of head of this new brand because we are aiming to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

Then, after another two or three months of hard work, it was finally possible to ignite the experiment again.

Who is Zhao Mo?

"Well done, Annie~"

However, with this new brand and Zhao Mo, the chemical reaction will be huge, which is completely different from just changing the brand.

As 192 high-energy laser beams were fired, they converged directly on the small ball with a diameter of only 1 mm, and the 10 mg of tritium and deuterium mixture stored in it was successfully ignited.

It wasn't until the next day that all the information was sorted out and formed into a paper. Anne left here and found Omar. She gave him a look at the paper and asked for his comments before publishing it.

After the experiment, Omar left, while Annie stayed here to sort out the information.

In this process, the ultra-high energy of the laser explodes the outer layer of the small ball core, thereby generating a reaction force on the inside of the ball core, causing it to accelerate inward and compress the fuel; at the same time, a strong shock wave is generated, which also moves toward the inner core. spread. As a result, a powerful shock wave compresses and heats the mixture of tritium and deuterium in the center, causing a fusion reaction.

That's the man who has mastered the high-thrust rocket engine!

The input energy was 2.05 megajoules, and the energy generated by nuclear fusion reached 3.88 megajoules, which was 89% more than the input energy. This result was nearly doubled based on the results of last year's ignition experiment!
"Thank you!"

"Om~"

Omar believed Anne very much. He just looked at it briefly and said with a smile: "No problem~"

Anner smiled slightly, put away the paper, and then chatted with the teacher about the upcoming experimental arrangements. She felt that she should continue her efforts and create greater glories.

Bang~bang bang~bang bang bang~
However, before it started, there was a sudden knock on Omar's office door, and the sound was urgent.

"Come in~"

Omar said.

Then, the two of them saw his assistant push the door open and walk in with a serious face. Seeing Dr. Anne here, he first greeted them both, and then said: "Professor, I just saw a piece of news. The government media in China reported that the program was "Xinwen Lianbo" and it was about controllable nuclear fusion~"

The two of them were stunned for a moment. Omar immediately asked: "Show it to me~"

"Okay~"

His assistant answered immediately, then turned on the phone, played the news he had just searched, and placed it in front of Professor Omar.

Annie came over to watch with curiosity.

"... According to our news, on September 9st, the EAST Artificial Sun, a major national scientific and technological infrastructure and the world's first fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device, achieved a major breakthrough and achieved a repeatable 1 million degrees Celsius 1.6-second plasma Steady-state operation has created a new world record and laid a solid physical and engineering foundation for nuclear fusion power generation!

At two meetings this year, our country decided to establish a controllable nuclear fusion research center. Academician Zhao Mo, a famous Chinese scientist, served as the director and chief designer of the research center.

Academician Zhao Mo formulated and planned the research and development route for controllable nuclear fusion in my country. At the beginning of this year, he launched the upgrade of the EAST device. It lasted nearly six months. The performance has been comprehensively improved, and the steady state has been conquered in physical experiments. A series of technical problems such as high-power heating, completely non-inductive high-current drive, and high-precision plasma real-time control were able to improve the world record of 2500 million degrees Celsius and 450 seconds achieved by last year's EAST physics experiment by six point five times, indicating that the EAST device is comprehensive A major breakthrough in research capabilities marks that my country is the world leader in the field of steady-state high-parameter magnetic confinement fusion research and leads the international forefront..."

The round-toned voice, accompanied by the English translation, made both Omar and Dr. Anne stunned: "..."

Good guy, this is going against heaven!
What's going on in China?
"It's unbelievable!"

After reacting, Omar's face suddenly showed an incredible look, and then he murmured to himself: "What kind of young man is Zhao Mo?"

Annie felt speechless again, and she also thought of the person "Zhao Mo".

I was shocked by the results just now, but now that I think about it, "Zhao Mo" is actually even more shocking.

Take a look at China's previous progress in the field of controllable nuclear fusion. At 1500 million degrees Celsius and 2500 million degrees Celsius, it is still hovering at the international level of or years ago, although the stable operation time has set a record.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Mo joined, from February to September, in just seven months, China's record was raised to 2 million degrees Celsius, and the stable operation time exceeded 9 seconds, reaching an astonishing 1.6 seconds. !
Is that human being?
Looking around the world, the highest record is only 1 million degrees Celsius and lasts 20 seconds!
By comparison, the highest international record is only a fraction of the record set by Zhao Mo!
There's no comparison at all!
"God, is he going to overcome this problem soon?"

The more Anne thought about it, the more terrible she felt, and finally she couldn't help but scream.

Omar was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said: "It is definitely not possible to conquer. Although this achievement is extraordinary, there is still a long way to go before truly achieving controllable nuclear fusion. They have not yet achieved net energy gain. !”

Only then did Annie realize that she was frightened by the opponent's fierce performance and was not being objective.

"Yes, they are just like us, they still have a long way to go~"

Annie calmed down, and after thinking carefully for a while, she came to the same conclusion as her teacher, and the serious expression on her face returned to relaxation.

Small book, JT-60SA Research Institute.

The team that originally became hot every day due to the arrival of Tokura Yoshihide, was surprisingly deserted that day, including Tokura Yoshihide, the leader of the JT-60SA research team Taro Tsuruda, and his deputy Harada Hirobumi.

Because they saw the CCTV news report and heard the words "laying the physical and engineering foundation for nuclear fusion power generation", they were shocked on the spot!
The screams of "Nani" and "Baga" kept coming~
JT-60SA is an upgraded version of the original JT-60, which is still under construction. JT-60 was previously one of the three largest tokamak devices in the world, and the upgraded JT-60SA will be the largest tokamak device in the world, bar none!

The JT-60 device has set many world records, including experiments operating plasma in excess of 1 million degrees Celsius.

They believe that as long as the JT-60SA is successfully upgraded and transformed, they will surely set a new world record and continue to lead the world. Even America will not be their opponent.

Unexpectedly, before their JT-60SA came out, the EAST device of the big country next door was upgraded and renovated in advance, and the first experiment set a new world record, raising the 1 million degrees Celsius they operated to 1.6 million degrees Celsius. , and the stable running time reached an astonishing 520 seconds!
You know, the EAST device is just a little brother, and it can make a splash in third world countries. In front of the JT-60 they have dismantled, it is just a little Karami!

Not to mention it is comparable to the JT-60SA under construction.

but now?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

After the shock, Harada Hirobumi and Tokura Yoshihide shouted in unison, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Taro Tsuruta smiled bitterly and said: "Their news network is authoritative, and the news reported will not be false. I'm afraid they are still conservative~"

"Pfft!"

Harada Hirobumi fell to the ground and said in despair: "Then is it still necessary to build our JT-60SA?"

"Build! Of course we must build!"

Tokura Yoshihide's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted: "Why not build it? Have they achieved controllable nuclear fusion? No! They have not achieved it! So we still have a chance!"

Harada Hirobumi, who was a little frustrated at first, suddenly shook his body, regained his spirit, and shouted: "Yes, we still have a chance. As long as we work hard, we still have a chance to surpass them. We can definitely do it!"
