Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

"Okay, good boy! Good boy..."

In the command hall at this moment, all the people who participated in the design and construction of the Changye pile,

The excitement was hard to contain.

A researcher in his forties or fifties suddenly blushed and jumped up from his seat.

There are also some who are so agile that they want to jump up.

In addition to cheering and subconscious applause,

Everyone did different actions, raised their hands, and took off their hats.

They themselves may not even know what they are doing now,

I just tried my best to express my excitement at this moment.

It's like many people present are shouting something randomly,

The content of the scream may not have any meaning, it just expresses an emotion at this moment.

Next to it, the camera of China News Service faithfully recorded this historic moment.

The camera slowly scanned every excited person.

During the construction process of the Long Night Pile, every researcher was actually under tremendous psychological pressure.

Even though most of the pressure was shouldered by Mo Dao,

But every researcher who is attracted by the Changyedui project and gathers here,

They all have great expectations for the future of Changyedui.

They came here with the same ideals in mind, and naturally they didn't want the Changyezui to really collapse in the long night.

At the same time, even Mo Dao never put pressure on them.

Even if Changyedui ultimately fails, no one will directly blame them.

But once Changyedui fails to achieve sufficient results,

For a long time to come, there may not be a project like Changyedui implemented.

There will no longer be such a large sum of money pouring into this field, allowing them to try all possible directions.

This is something that is inevitable and even should be done regardless of the wishes of most people.

Now, the first operation of the Changyedui after its completion has given an answer that is at least enough to live up to the efforts of every researcher since the Changyedui project was established, and to live up to the trust of all parties.

All the researchers vented the pressure they had accumulated for a long time.

Many people's eyes were already red.

Mo Dao next to it,

Professor Hong, who was sitting on the chair and was a little weak due to illness,

The moment cheers rang out in the command hall, I wanted to hold on and stand up.

But he was too weak and ultimately failed.

Professor Hong looked at the cheers of young, middle-aged, and researchers in the command hall and seemed relieved.

He didn't want to get up anymore, he just laughed loudly.

On the other side, Academician Zhang, who is also stooped,

When Mo Dao announced the key experimental results, he leaned sideways to listen more clearly.

However, he didn't need to listen to those numerical values. He only needed to listen to the boiling sound in the room to already know the result.

The old man, who was already over eighty years old, tightly grasped Mo Dao's arm.

Somewhat incoherently repeating 'Good boy. ’.

It seems that he wants to express his excitement, but also seems to want to suppress his emotions,

But in the end, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and tears fell to the ground.

He devoted his whole life to the research of controllable nuclear fusion, from a young boy to a gray mane.

And now, we finally see a turning point on the road to controllable nuclear fusion research.

The long 'long night' passed, and finally we saw the light of day.

…

Mo Dao looked at the excited people in the command hall with a smile on his face.

He had psychological expectations for what Changyedui could achieve in its first run.

At this moment, has the research on controllable nuclear fusion been successful?

It can be said to be half the battle.

None of the key issues Mo Dao had listed on the whiteboard had ever been truly resolved.

The current value is the result of the entire Changyedui researchers, including him, polishing the overall design of Changyedui to the extreme with the existing technology and theory.

But this is still a key node on the road to controllable nuclear fusion research.

is the most critical progress.

The Q value represents the self-sustainability rate. If it exceeds one or does not exceed one, the meaning is completely different.

In layman's terms, this is a 0 to 1 breakthrough.

Before here, all controllable nuclear fusion experimental devices can be said to have no practical significance other than experiments.

But after here, Changyedui already has practical significance.

No matter what the Q value is above 1, even if it is only 0.12, or less.

All this means that the long-night reactor can truly produce energy while maintaining its own operation.

To put it bluntly, if the operating costs of commercial reactors are not considered, controllable nuclear fusion has already been achieved at this moment.

"Researcher Mo. I would like to ask on behalf of the audience across the country."

"In a popular sense, what does the current achievement of the first operation of the Changyedui mean?"

The reporters from China News Service were affected by the atmosphere at the scene, and some of them had red eyes.

This exciting atmosphere is quite contagious.

Suppressing his emotions, the reporter took advantage of this time to ask Mo Dao such a question.

Mo Dao looked at the China News Agency reporter, thought about it, and gave a simple answer,

"It means that previously in theory, it should be possible to create a controllable nuclear fusion reactor. Now, we can confirm that a controllable nuclear fusion reactor can indeed be created."

Reporters with professional qualities were stunned for a moment by Mo Dao's words.

He could feel the weight of Mo Dao's words.

Mo Dao told him straightforwardly the significance of this Changyedui's first experiment.

It was an uncertain thing that was determined from now on.

Previously, it was not possible to truly build a controllable nuclear fusion reactor and use controllable nuclear fusion as an energy source.

This is unknown.

But now, it's for sure.

Because Changyedui has been built.

Even though its Q value may still be far from meeting the requirements for commercial reactor construction.

But things are different.

The first experimental run of the Long Night Pile ended with an exciting result.

And externally,

This exciting result was given its due, even overreaction.

…

After some discussion above.

In the end, we chose to publish the results of the first operation experiment of the long night reactor to a certain extent.

On that day, the main station TV, which was originally broadcasting daily programs,

This news was broadcast in the form of temporary interruption.

China News Service also reported this blockbuster news in the form of flash news on its official accounts and official websites on major social platforms.

"The Changye Reactor, which was completely independently designed and built by our country, was tested for the first time after its completion today."

"In the first experiment, outstanding results were achieved, including a steady-state plasma operation for 1500 seconds and a Q value greater than 1."

The entire newsletter consists of these two sentences.

But the impact was undoubtedly a thunderous one, shocking many people who were normally browsing the news or looking at social platforms and couldn't turn their heads when they happened to see it.

Almost without warning.

One entry suddenly landed at the top of the search list on various social platforms.

"Has controllable nuclear fusion been achieved?"

Following it, there are also some similar entries.

"Hua Xin News Agency, Chang Ye Dui."

"Q value is greater than 1"

"1500 seconds, what does it mean when the Q value is greater than 1?"

However, every hot search point pointed to reports from China News Service and China Radio, as well as reprints from other media, and comments from people who saw the news.

"...No, I, this isn't...ah?"

"Sure enough, the fewer words, the bigger the news. I read the two lines twice, and my head was buzzing."

"What do you mean? The steady-state running time is so long, and the Q value is greater than one. What does this mean? I'm so worried. Can anyone tell me?"
