Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the reaction temperature on the monitoring screen climbed smoothly to 200 million degrees, which was significantly higher than the previous ignition test of the fourth-generation nuclear fusion device.

But what everyone is most concerned about is the duration of the nuclear fusion reaction.

Watching the number increase by the second, it felt like my whole heart was lifted and I didn't even dare to breathe.

Is it creating the greatest miracle in the history of human civilization, or is it leaving a regret?

It all depends on the final number.

In order for nuclear fusion to be useful, it must continue to react.

Otherwise, it will be impossible to completely conquer controllable nuclear fusion.

that's all.

When the time on the screen successfully exceeded four digits and exceeded one thousand seconds, everyone felt excited.

Because everyone knows that the new generation of nuclear fusion devices has surpassed the previous level.

After all, during the previous ignition test of the fourth-generation nuclear fusion device, the reaction temperature was only over 100 million degrees, and the entire reaction time only lasted a thousand seconds.

Now it is easily surpassed.

If you open the live broadcast room at this time, you will see an explosive growth in the refresh rate of barrages.

The audience expressed their excitement.

At the same time, I secretly prayed that the reaction would continue.

It's better not to end.

"That's awesome, it's been over a thousand seconds."

"I knew there would be no problem with Xu Yuan here. The response time this time has been longer than the last time. This represents a new improvement in our research technology on controllable nuclear fusion devices."

"Not only the reaction time, but the reaction temperature is also increased a lot."

"It's different when we use room-temperature superconducting materials."

"I suddenly feel so nervous. I wonder how long this reaction will last?"

"come on."

"No matter what the final result is, today has completely established our position in the field of nuclear fusion devices, and our position is unshakable by anyone."

"The data is still rising, it's been half an hour."

"Is this controllable nuclear fusion? Just watching the live broadcast is very scary."

…

at the same time.

In the control hall of the nuclear fusion device, Song Yunhui finally breathed a sigh of relief when faced with this data.

Let’s not talk about whether controllable nuclear fusion can be completely solved. If the data of the new device can be significantly improved, it means that there is no problem with the research direction.

At least we can communicate with each other when facing above.

"OK."

"As long as we can get Academician Xu's help, all future projects will be solved."

As his heartfelt words came out of his mouth, the surrounding engineering staff also applauded enthusiastically in cooperation.

Celebrate that this ignition test exceeded expectations.

Of course, applause is applause, but at this moment, everyone did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

The focus is still on the data.

Always pay attention to the data feedback of the device.

Mainly, the reaction of nuclear fusion is still continuing. As long as there are no uncontrolled factors, it is really possible to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

Faced with the numbers that are still jumping and rising, even though Gong Tao has been responsible for many nuclear fusion studies, his heart can't help but beat at this moment and he can't restrain his excitement and excitement.

He devoted most of his life to the research of nuclear fusion devices, from the initial temperature of tens of millions to the temperature exceeding hundreds of millions.

Every improvement brings great joy and encouragement.

But this time, there is direct hope to witness the true birth of controllable nuclear fusion.

Emotions are indeed out of control.

There is no doubt in his heart that he hopes that nuclear fusion can be conquered, and the reaction time on the screen keeps increasing.

Let the world see their success.

But the knowledge he had in the field of nuclear fusion told him that it was unlikely to be truly realized.

He is well aware of the difficulty of sustained and stable reactions in controlled nuclear fusion.

Unable to judge, he had no choice but to focus on Xu Yun next to him.

Actively asked:

"Academician Xu, do you think we can succeed this time?"

In fact, even if Song Yunhui didn't ask, Xu Yun himself was still thinking about this issue.

Although the current data displayed by the Tokamak nuclear fusion device is basically within his expectations, it is still unknown whether the reaction can be sustained and stable.

Even he couldn't come up with a definite idea.

The main high-energy radiation and heat-resistant materials are produced by scientific simulators, and there will be no problems under normal circumstances.

But the tritium retention solution was completed by him.

No one knows how it will help nuclear fusion devices.

So I thought for a moment and organized the words in my mind before answering Gong Tao's question.

"Maybe there is some certainty, but I can't say exactly. We can only see how far it goes."

"Too."

"I hope I can give you a surprise." Gong Tao thought about it and thought it made sense. He no longer hesitated and replied with a sigh.

Perhaps the words of the two had an effect, and the subsequent reactions continued steadily.

Just as it was about to officially break through the sixty-minute mark and enter a new level, the audience in the live broadcast room seemed more and more proud.

Everyone has started popping champagne.

I think controllable nuclear fusion is completely done.

In addition, many people specially went to the live broadcast room on the external network, and their words did not conceal their purpose of showing off.

As a result, this test has become even more popular around the world.

"Damn it, it's been an hour now, I feel like it's really stable this time."

"We're not even popping the champagne yet!"

"Congratulations in advance to Academician Xu for his breakthrough in nuclear fusion."

"Jingzhou City sent a congratulatory message in advance!"

"I don't know how people overseas will react when they see this. The title of a technological power only belongs to us now."

"It's better not to open the champagne at halftime."

"Can any of you come over to Room 403 of Mengjiang Hotel in Shenzhen City and give me a hard beating? I always feel like I'm dreaming and the situation in the live broadcast room is too unreal."

"I heard this plan at home."

The fifth-generation all-superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device has completely rebuilt and modified the peripheral superconducting coils and central vacuum chamber. This kind of data can be obtained in the first ignition test, which was completely impossible in previous experiments. things.

Therefore, not to mention ordinary people outside, even the engineers in the control hall have ideas in their minds.

I wonder if controllable nuclear fusion has really been conquered like this?

Will this technology, which has limited the development of human civilization, become the greatest boost to human civilization in the future?

Unfortunately, this idea didn't stay in my mind for long, and an alarm suddenly sounded in the device control hall.

Everyone present suddenly became nervous.

Tension.

Determine the source of the problem as quickly as possible.

"The plasma in the reaction vessel is unstable and the situation cannot be reversed."

"It needs to be dealt with immediately."

As the engineering staff's urgent announcement sounded in the hall, you could see the disappointed look on everyone's faces.

No one expected this outcome.

Plasmons will become very unstable when reacting at high temperatures, and this situation is basically impossible to reverse and repair, and can easily bring very serious consequences to the research laboratory.

Therefore, the reaction must be stopped in time.

Although Xu Yun felt a little regretful, his expression remained calm.

At this time, there was no sloppiness, and the order was directly issued to stop powering the peripheral superconducting coil and end the reaction.

"Stop reacting."

This result seems normal to him. It is a miracle that the nuclear fusion device has progressed to this extent through his own efforts. In a sense, it has been a miracle.

If controllable nuclear fusion is really achieved, it can only be called luck.

As the power supply to the peripheral superconducting coil ended, the temperature inside the reaction vessel also quickly dropped.

The nuclear fusion reaction stops.

Gong Tao, who was watching this scene intently, had a normal expression on his face, but it was definitely a lie if he said he was not disappointed.

Later he sighed and said:

"what a pity."

The difficulty in realizing controllable nuclear fusion is that in addition to the peripheral superconducting coil providing sufficient magnetic binding force to allow the internal plasma temperature to reach a high enough temperature and solving the problem of radiation damage, another difficulty is how to ensure the plasma under high temperature. Body problems.

After the plasma is heated to a high enough temperature, the reaction may initially run smoothly.

But as time goes by, these high-temperature plasmas will gradually become restless.

Becomes less stable.

If you continue to react at this time, there may be very serious consequences.

This is something that the research laboratory and the entire institute cannot afford.

Therefore, whenever this happens, the reaction must be ended immediately in the shortest possible time.

The reason why the reaction time of previous experiments could only last for hundreds of seconds was precisely because the plasma was unstable.

As other technologies improve, the plasma stability time is gradually extended.

However, if the stability problem of plasma is not completely solved, controllable nuclear fusion will never be truly realized.

Originally, the fifth-generation nuclear fusion device was built this time because it used a new high-energy radiation-resistant and high-temperature resistant material and a tritium retention solution, which was thought to avoid plasma instability.

Unexpectedly, after nearly an hour, this problem was still unavoidable.

However, judging from the results this time, it can be regarded as a new direction.

At least it can be determined that as long as the unstable situation of plasma is solved, controllable nuclear fusion can be truly realized.

As for who has the best mentality among the people present, it must be Song Yunhui, the director of the Institute of Physics.

He was originally very worried about the results of this test, thinking that it would be successful if it was higher than the last test data. He had never thought about truly realizing controllable nuclear fusion.

Nowadays, the test results have been greatly improved compared to the previous generation device. It can be said that it is not too late to be happy.

In his eyes this was a very successful test.

So at this time, he didn't forget to come over and enlighten Xu Yun and Gong Tao.

"Our reaction time in this test lasted fifty-nine minutes, which was three times that of the previous generation of nuclear fusion devices, and the output energy was much higher than the input energy."

"This was a completely successful fire test."

"I believe that as long as this situation continues and research continues, controllable nuclear fusion will be conquered sooner or later."

Xu Yun and Gong Tao will naturally not be affected by this kind of thing. On the contrary, they will further stimulate their fighting spirit.

After hearing these words, he immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, Director, it won't be long before we conquer controllable nuclear fusion."

"I also want to believe it." Gong Tao also nodded in agreement.

Yes.

The reaction time on the monitoring screen finally stopped at 3540 seconds.

Exactly fifty-nine minutes.

Although this represents the highest level of nuclear fusion research in the world.

But many people are still disappointed.

They were also very aware of the difficulty of overcoming controllable nuclear fusion, but due to the filter they had on Xu Yun, they believed that with Xu Yun's participation, they would be able to solve the problem like room-temperature superconducting materials.

Of course, this does not mean that the project Xu Yun participated in has experienced its first failure.

After all, when building a fifth-generation nuclear fusion device, the original goal was to have higher data than the previous generation.

Now it is considered a complete success.

In addition, there were more encouraging voices in the live broadcast room.

I still firmly believe that Xu Yun will conquer controllable nuclear fusion sooner or later, and will continue to support it.

"It's just one minute less than an hour. It's such a shame."

"I told you not to pop the champagne at halftime."

"Actually, this result has been expected for a long time, but when the result came out, I still couldn't help but feel disappointed."

"Come on, Academician Xu!"

"In any case, we have at least taken another crucial step in the field of controllable nuclear fusion. If we keep going like this, we will be able to conquer nuclear fusion sooner or later."

"I have a feeling that this day won't be long."

Xu Yun really doesn't have time to watch the content online and in the live broadcast room.

Immediately afterwards, without taking any time to rest, he and Gong Tao held a meeting to discuss and summarize the results of each other's tests.

——

at the same time.

Far away in the conference room of the White Palace in the city across the sea, as the picture on the screen settled on the number 3540, a group of members of the House of Representatives, including the chief minister, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The originally oppressive atmosphere quickly relaxed.

"It seems that our worries are unnecessary. The other party still has not completely mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology."

As the leader sitting in the middle spoke first, the next second he also started talking to others.

They all took up the conversation and responded.

"Nuclear fusion is the ultimate scientific research project of human civilization. How can it be completely conquered so easily? Solving controllable nuclear fusion is much more difficult than normal temperature superconducting materials."

"I think we won't have to worry about the emergence of controlled nuclear fusion in the next few years."

"There is still a lot of time left for us."

"No matter how talented a scientist is, it is impossible to achieve controllable nuclear fusion at this stage."

When he said these words, his face looked more certain than ever before, as if they were all facts that had already happened.

His attitude was completely different from his previous attitude before the test started.

They held this Cabinet Office meeting today mainly for the ignition test of the nuclear fusion device at the Institute of Plasma Physics.

Now that the desired results have been obtained, there is no need to continue the meeting.

Soon the meeting came to an end as the general leader spoke.

However, Musk, who was in the office of the boss of the Overseas Space Exploration Technology Company building at the same time, very much hoped that Xu Yun could completely solve the controllable nuclear fusion device.

For him, the biggest dream is to develop a starship to go to Mars.

Realize the great Mars immigration plan.

But this goal is still too far away, so far away that he doesn't know whether he can see it in the rest of his life.

Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity to realize the Mars community plan in advance, he will not let it go.

This is why after he noticed Xu Yun, he very much hoped to invite him to join the research and development of starships.

Although this wish did not come true, technological breakthroughs in controllable nuclear fusion devices gave him hope again.

If nuclear fusion energy can be conquered, the development of the aerospace industry will reach a new milestone.

By then, after Xu Yun successfully presides over the lunar base project, he may be able to go to Mars to build a Mars community and realize this great dream on his behalf.

Although he did not realize it himself, it would be a shame to live on Mars in his lifetime.

So he watched the entire ignition test live broadcast.

And hope to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

Unfortunately, although this test has brought mankind's research on controllable nuclear fusion devices into a new stage, it is still regrettable.

"I believe you can definitely achieve Xu, and maybe one day soon a Mars community can really be established."

At this moment, Musk was sitting on a chair, looking at the live broadcast room that had ended, and slowly spoke, still not losing his trust in Xu Yun.

Ever since he witnessed Xu Yun successfully building human civilization's first lunar base in a short period of time, he always believed that one day this young scientist would conquer Mars.

soon.

A few days passed.

After discussions between Xu Yun, Gong Tao and all the researchers in the laboratory, the optimization plan for the next stage of the nuclear fusion device was initially determined.

We want to solve the problem of plasma instability as completely as possible.

Of course, everyone understands that it is not easy to solve this problem.

To this end, we are prepared for long-term and in-depth research.

But Xu Yun had his own ideas.

Whether it is the lunar base project that has basically pressed the pause button, or the development of human civilization, it is inseparable from the core issue of nuclear fusion energy.

And for human civilization, the sooner we master controllable nuclear fusion, the better.

If we still choose step-by-step research, whether we can conquer nuclear fusion in the next few years is a question.

After careful consideration, Xu Yun decided to use the scientific simulator again.

Get solutions to plasmon stabilization problems.

The institute's research on nuclear fusion devices has reached its fifth generation, and it can be said that it has overcome many problems.

Only the instability of the plasma remains.

In this case, using a scientific simulator, nuclear fusion can be completely realized with a high probability.

After solving the problem of room-temperature superconducting materials in the last simulation and obtaining the synthesis technology of two other special materials, he now has two opportunities left to use the scientific simulator. It is definitely worthwhile to use it in controllable nuclear fusion. .

In addition, he also learned that after this ignition test, most overseas forces were not optimistic about their research.

When it is suddenly announced that controllable nuclear fusion has been mastered, I believe everyone will look very excited.

After making the final decision, Xu Yun stopped delaying and immediately started simulating the fifth-generation nuclear fusion device after choosing a suitable time.
