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

Chapter 415: 1300 seconds is okay~
Due to the application of new superconducting magnets and a new structure, the overall volume of the new controllable nuclear fusion device is smaller than that of the EAST device, shrinking by about one-third.

Even so, he is still a big guy.

As the ignition button is pressed, the big head makes a soft "buzz" sound, and then it officially starts.

Gradually, surging energy input and the sound of mechanical operation sounded. Even if they were far apart, everyone in the main control room still felt a strong aura condensing.

At a certain moment, the plasma subparameters on the huge display screen jumped.

"Plasma detected~"

A voice reported.

Soon, a large number of parameters began to beat.

Even laymen such as the old man can see at this moment that as the parameters jump, the interior of the new controllable nuclear fusion device reflected on the display screen instantly turns red, and they immediately know that the temperature of the plasma is rising sharply. .

"Is it necessary to test so many things during the first ignition?"

Even if what they saw was what the machine reacted and not the reaction in the real reaction device, the current situation still made them feel thrilling and their hearts lifted.

The old man asked Zhao Modao in surprise.

There is no need to continue the subsequent experiments. Just reaching this temperature and the device does not show any abnormality is enough to show that the design is excellent.

Soon, the plasma temperature exceeded 10 million degrees Celsius.

In the main control room, everyone held their breath and watched nervously.

1.6 million degrees Celsius!

"Oh~"

“It’s unbelievable that such high parameters can be achieved without the liquid nitrogen cooling system~”

The old man understood. Everything here was under his control and he could react at any time.

After a while, the temperature reached 50 million degrees Celsius, rising at an alarming rate.

Zhao Mo smiled and continued to stare at the parameters.

The old man couldn't help but sigh again: "With Academician Zhao here, we can sit back and relax!"

Finally, the temperature reached 1.6 million degrees Celsius!

But now, the new experimental device in front of us obviously needs to complete many experiments at once.

This is the optimal nuclear fusion reaction temperature planned by Zhao Mo. It is the highest temperature of a tokamak device in the world today. It has not been broken by anyone since its birth. At this time, it was tied by the new experimental device he designed himself.

He had no idea about the research on controllable nuclear fusion, but after hearing it a lot, he probably knew that the first test of the new device would not be too much. If it could ignite normally and generate plasma normally, it was already a success.

In the main control room, there was a soft cry of suppressed joy.

In everyone’s opinion, we have actually achieved 80% success here!

Listening to the old man's question, Zhao Mo looked at the parameters jumping on the display screen, constantly calculating and checking them in his mind, and casually replied: "I'm paying attention at all times. No problem, I must take advantage of the situation and make a big move." Well; I will stop immediately if there is a problem."

In the entire team, except for a few people who knew the inside story of room temperature superconductivity, others did not know it. They only thought it was a special structure, which was difficult for them to understand and they were deeply shocked by it.

Immediately afterwards, the temperature soared again, exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius, and continued to soar towards higher temperatures.

Ma Tao came from superconducting research. He vaguely noticed something, but he was not sure. When he saw that the experimental device had such high parameters, he still thought it was Zhao Mo's genius design. He was shocked and felt Said: "Sure enough, the gap between professors and academicians is sometimes bigger than the gap between heaven and earth. It's incomparable~"

Zhao Mo didn't react at all. The data in front of him was within his expectations and there was nothing surprising about it.

On the contrary, he hoped that something would go wrong, so that hidden dangers could be discovered and hidden dangers could be reduced for future upgrades to reactors.

Seeing that Zhao Mo did not respond, the entire team did not dare to neglect and continued to conduct the next test according to the original experimental plan.

Ten seconds~
One hundred seconds~
Three hundred seconds~
In the steady-state operation stage, time passed by second by second, and soon it exceeded one hundred and three hundred.

Then, the running time came to 500 seconds, and everyone became even more nervous. This time was already infinitely close to the world record set by the EAST device last time.

520 seconds!
When a voice came out, everyone let out a soft "Oh" and then clapped in unison.

clap clap clap...

Suddenly, there was thunderous applause in the main control room.

Zhao Mo took a deep breath and clapped his palms twice, but soon stopped, gestured with his hands, and said: "Continue!"

It was indeed gratifying to tie the world record he had set with this new experimental device, but before it was time to really celebrate, the data displayed told him that they could climb a new world record this time.

The main control room fell silent again.

In fact, as Zhao Mo expected, steady-state operation continued, and everything in the experimental device was normal.

Very soon, more than 600 seconds~
700 seconds!
800 seconds!
900 seconds!
1000 seconds!
The duration of steady-state operation exceeded the unprecedented mark of 1000 seconds for the first time, reaching an unprecedented peak!

For a moment, everyone was stunned, staring at the more than a thousand seconds that was still beating. "Oh my god, it's been over 1000 seconds~"

“It’s unbelievable, this can officially generate electricity!”

……

Many people had dazed expressions on their faces and unconscious moans on their lips.

"Gudong~"

Tang Yao couldn't help but swallowed, and an uncontrollable shiver emerged spontaneously. There was only one thought in his mind: "We are really getting closer to real controllable nuclear fusion!"

"it is good!"

The leader could not help but feel excited and cheered loudly.

He believed in Zhao Mo, and they believed in Zhao Mo.

However, believe it or not, they all know that controllable nuclear fusion is so difficult that no scientific research project in the world can compare with it, and it will take a long period of research to succeed.

They believe that with Zhao Mo's "magic" plan to achieve controllable nuclear fusion before the National Day in 2019, which is still seven years away, this plan is quite vigorous!
But looking at it now, it's not that this plan is radical, but that they don't realize the real "magic" of Zhao Mo!
The realization time of controllable nuclear fusion is very likely to be advanced!

The old man's cheers woke everyone up, and they all looked at Zhao Mo in unison.

At this time, Zhao Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not doing it for this world record, but for the high-constraint steady-state operation to be very good, meeting his expectations and verifying his theory. So, he remained silent.

Seeing his calmness, everyone knew that the experiment would continue, so the scene became quiet again.

Of course, they admired Zhao Mo even more, and they all exclaimed: "Our structure still needs to be improved, look at Academician Zhao?"

Time passes minute by minute~
"Report, here~ There seems to be something abnormal here!"

When the time came to 1290 seconds, a hesitant voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone was startled, and Zhao Mo was also startled.

He turned around and saw that it was Ma Tao. He pointed at a piece of data in front of him and said, with a very troubled expression on his face, ranging from uncertainty to risk-taking.

Zhao Mo followed the data he pointed at and saw that it was a parameter related to the superconducting magnet. It was changing normally and was no different from before.

"Tell me what you think~"

Zhao Mo asked calmly.

Everyone nearby was sweating for Ma Tao, and they all thought: "Isn't this normal?"

They couldn't understand why Ma Tao said something was abnormal and dared to say it in front of Zhao Mo. You know, judging from the research during this period and the current first ignition experiment, Zhao Mo can be said to be "absolutely" correct in this field and has made no mistakes!
Where is Ma Tao?
He is just a PhD student studying superconducting materials, and there is nothing special about his research resume. How dare he question Zhao Mo in public?
Zhao Mo didn't even say there was a problem. You suddenly stood up and said there was a problem. What's this other than questioning?
Ma Tao also thought of this, so he was a little frightened at this time. However, he had already stood up and was pressed for time. He had nothing to hesitate, so he quickly replied: "When I was doing research on superconducting materials before, I found that when a critical value is reached, the parameters will change very rapidly and hugely. So I don’t think this normal change is normal right now.”

"Ok?"

Zhao Mo's heart suddenly moved, and his mind started spinning rapidly.

After just one breath, he raised his hand to stop the experiment and said, "That's it!"

The next moment, the experimental device pressed the end button, and the experiment ended.

The steady-state running time is fixed at 1320 seconds!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were supposed to celebrate this great achievement in surprise, but now they were in no mood. Everyone began to test the experimental equipment.

When the steady-state operation reached close to 1300 seconds, a problem occurred in the superconducting magnet. This is not a trivial matter.

Zhao Mo put on protective clothing and went to the site in person with the team's researchers and engineers.

The old man, Tang Yao and others did not speak, quietly waiting for the test results.

Three hours later, preliminary results came out. One coil of the superconducting magnet itself had fatigue damage, so after the experiment ran for a long time, it could not withstand the pressure and suffered minor damage.

After reporting the results, Zhao Mo personally shook hands with Ma Tao, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are very good~"

Ma Tao looked excited and quickly said: "It should, it should~"

Later, Zhao Mo said loudly in public: "...I declare that the first ignition experiment of the new experimental device was a complete success!"

Yes, a complete success!
The only flaw is not a design problem, but an engineering problem, which can be easily solved. This also means that they will soon be able to enter the next stage, real fusion!

"Oh~"

"Clap clap~"

The scene suddenly burst into cheers and applause.

At the subsequent celebration banquet, Tang Yao and Zhao Mo clinked glasses to congratulate him on achieving a new world record.

Zhao Mo was in a good mood and answered his boring congratulations: "What we are building is a reactor, and it will run for a long time in the future. It's okay if the running time exceeds 1300 seconds~"

Tang Yao: "..."
