Vol 2 Chapter 445: The ignition is successful!

And because the working temperature of the first wall of the nuclear fusion reactor is above 1000°C, the plasma can reach 2000~3000°C at the moment the plasma bursts, and low-melting materials such as steel and copper are directly passed away.
At the same time, the task of the first wall is to take out the thermal energy, and the ceramic materials with high melting point but poor thermal conductivity are basically killed. At present, the melting point of metal tungsten, a promising candidate material, is 3400°C.
However, tungsten also has the disadvantage of poor plasticity. Under the thermal shock of the collapse of the ion body, the thermal stress will often cause the material surface to crack.
So just to develop the first wall material that meets so many requirements, Lei Tiantang almost scratched his hair. Fortunately, Kuafu is so powerful, not only can we use a large number of calculations to exhaust many kinds of ratios. material.
Moreover, you can operate the robot in the underground laboratory for 24 hours and carry out the actual test of these materials at the same time. This is why they can develop the current first wall material in such a short time and replace it with other experiments. This process will take at least 5 years!
In addition, in order to make the constrained magnetic field generate a more stable magnetic field, he and Kuafu spent the longest time on the research and development of superconducting materials, because the better the performance of superconducting materials, not only the more stable the magnetic field, but also It can also reduce the volume of the entire nuclear fusion reaction.
The strength of the magnetic field determines the upper limit of density and temperature, and the size of the device determines the upper limit of the confinement time to some extent.
For the current nuclear fusion reactor, volume is also a topic that everyone cannot avoid. The ITER device itself weighs 23,000 tons, which is more than three Eiffel Towers!
However, the better the performance of the superconducting material, the more the volume of the entire reactor can be reduced. Therefore, in order to obtain a better superconducting material, the effort Lei Tiantang and Kuafu paid can be imagined.
"The whole system self-check is complete! Deuterium and tritium fuel filling is complete! Start ignition!" With Kuafu’s announcement, the entire nuclear fusion reactor came alive instantly!
The internal images uploaded from the reserved sensors and monitoring equipment instantly made Lei Tiantang very excited! The entire vacuum chamber emits a strong light. If the light were not filtered after passing through the observation equipment, most people would become blind when they saw it!
"The reactor is ignited normally! The energy output is normal! We succeeded the boss!!!" Kuafu shouted excitedly!
"Haha...! Good! Good! It's not in vain that we have worked so hard for so long! Continue to monitor, after all, the reaction has just begun, how long you can persist is the key to success or failure!
But even if it can't be maintained for a long time, we can't be regarded as a failure now. We have always used our wisdom to complete other laboratories that require thousands of scientists to complete the work! Lei Tiantang also shouted happily.
"Yes! This success is already the best commendation for our hard work! I believe our reactors can maintain working conditions for a long time!"
"Yeah! Let's watch it for a while!" Lei Tiantang said while looking at the data displayed on the computer on the console.
Although Kuafu is responsible for the entire nuclear fusion reactor monitoring equipment, in theory, these computers on the console are not needed.
But without these computer screens, Lei Tiantang would not be able to intuitively feel the data of the entire reactor, and in the future, if the nuclear fusion reactor is to cooperate with various countries and companies, the control system is also necessary.
Therefore, the console is also part of the nuclear fusion reactor system, and it needs to be tested for a long time. Otherwise, if a certain equipment of the reactor has a problem and the control system is not monitored, then a very serious accident will occur.
With the passage of time, the nuclear fusion reactor that Lei Tiantang and Kuafu worked so hard to develop did not disappoint them, and it has been continuously outputting to the outside for more than 4 hours!
In just 4 hours, this single-reactor fusion reactor has generated more than 5 million kilowatts! Perfectly reached the design goal!
"Boss, it seems that we are really successful now! Can the rest of the test be launched?" Kuafu sees that the first stage of the test has reached the predetermined goal, and he is ready to carry out the following test.
"Let's start! Four hours of continuous and stable output can basically conclude that our design has no theoretical errors, which paves the way for our subsequent development of a smaller nuclear fusion reactor!
Although the volume and weight of our nuclear fusion reactor have reached the practical standards of commercial reactors, this volume and weight can only be built into a fixed commercial power generation reactor.
And our ultimate goal is to move the reactor to our spacecraft. The size and weight are absolutely impossible!
Now let us continue to verify the function of replacing parts under the working state of our independent design! This is very important. You must not replace the vulnerable parts other than the core components and replace them after the reactor is shut down. What practical value does such a reactor have! "Lei Tiantang said with a smile.
"Yes, so when we are designing, we will rack our brains to design the easily damaged parts into modular parts.
There are several separate systems for each component~EbookFREE.me~ If a certain component system is damaged, it will not affect the normal operation of the reactor. Just replace it quickly!
Only in this way can the continuous and stable operation of the reactor be ensured. Then I will start the parts replacement test according to the scheduled plan. Boss, please pay more attention to avoid problems and over-reaction! "Quafu said seriously.
Then Kuafu let the robot control the special equipment to start the replacement test. Of course, in such a short time, there will be no problems with any part of the entire reactor. If it takes only 4 hours to replace the parts, it means that the reactor is not mature enough.
But how could the materials developed by Lei Tiantang and Kuafu spend a lot of energy have such problems? Have they all gone through rigorous limit tests?
Therefore, Kuafu now replaces intact parts that are randomly selected. After all, what is being tested is whether the replacement function of parts is effective, as long as there is no problem with the replaced parts.
"Boss, after our nuclear fusion reactor has passed all our tests, when are you going to start cooperating with the country?" Kuafu asked while operating the robot.
