Chapter 498: Step 1 to the sun

Although "checking" things can be said in one's mouth, in fact, it is three days after all the engineers of the STAR project team have actually completed the investigation.
Embedded in the laboratory of the mountain, all the staff of the STAR project team are waiting in their posts as they were three days ago.
Standing next to the computer in the control room, Lu Zhou overlooked the steel giant surrounded by dense coils through the floor-to-ceiling windows nearby, and the chest center was surging.
Soon, this reborn STAR device will conduct its first operational experiment.
For this moment, he has waited for half a year
Walking to the side of Lu Zhou, Sheng Xianfu took a deep breath, restrained his voice and said excitedly: "The water-cooled diverter is running normally, we can start the experiment."
After hearing Sheng Xianfu's report, Lu Zhou nodded.
"Let's get started."
Sheng Xianfu had a loinboard and was full of energy.
"Yes!"
The first experiment will not be too frustrating, one does not involve ignition, and the other does not use hydrogen isotopes.
As for the objectives of the experiment, they are very simple, with only two.
One is to confirm that the maximum magnetic morning of the outer scale circle can exceed the 50T limit of the theoretical value, and the other is to ensure that the temperature reflecting the indoor high-density plasma can reach 100 million degrees Celsius.
As for the maintenance time, it doesn't take long, and one second is enough.
With the order to start the experiment, the staff in the laboratory was immediately busy.
The switch of the liquid helium valve was opened, and the SG-1 wire quickly reached the superconducting transition temperature as expected.
With the buzzing of piercing eardrums, the current passing through the outer field superconducting coil gradually increased, and it gradually approached the superconducting critical current of the SG-1 wire.
Watching the magnetic morning value on the anti-lei computer screen keep rising, and finally stopped at the maximum value of 51.14T, Lu Zhou's mouth raised a smile.
51.14T!
Spiral 7-X.
The magnetic morning of the tethered plasma is the key to solving the problem of controlled nuclear fusion. They can achieve magnetic constraints of more than 50T in engineering. They have undoubtedly completed this puzzle.
The first experimental goal was successfully achieved!
Seeing the same look of joy from Sheng Xianfu's face, Lu Zhou nodded to him.
"Begin the next experimental session!"
Sheng Xianfu immediately said: "Understand!"
In addition to those superconducting dogs fixed by irregularly shaped blue insulated brackets, the wire blades wound on the streamlined track are also fixed by a non-superconducting outer ruler ring, which are fixed under the red insulated brackets. , Is mainly used to fine-tune the magnetic state in the stellar.
As the experiment enters the next stage, the current in the blue coil begins to decrease, while the current in the red wire, which is opposite to it, continues to rise, and the magnetic shape inside the stellar is adjusted to the expected shape.
Looking at the constantly beating parameters on the computer screen, Lu Zhou Shen Sheng ordered: "Inject helium!"
"Yes!"
Following the order, a tube connected to the interior of the stellar injected 1 mg of helium into the stellar's cavity.
The helium gas that was injected at first was quickly diffused into the vacuum cavity and became extremely thin.
However, with the activation of the microwave heating device, the temperature in the cavity continued to rise, the plasma gradually formed, and was constantly squeezed by the magnetic field that bound it, and finally a layer of light was spread in the streamlined cavity channel. Blue fort, and trembling slightly at a frequency invisible to the naked eye.
Working in their respective positions, both engineers and researchers, consciously clenched their fists.
At this moment, the STAR imitator in front of them is like a monster that has left space, and is brewing the most terrifying energy on the planet.
In fact, this is indeed the case, even if it is the core of the earth, it is only 6.8 Baidu.
But at this moment, the temperature of the helium flowing in the orbit of the stellar is breaking through the limit of hundreds of millions.
Although its mass is only 1 mg
This short second is as long as a century.
Clenching his fist tightly, Sheng Xianfu's face was full of excitement, and his mouth kept thinking.
"We succeeded, we succeeded!"
He heard the voice that kept muttering, and Lu Zhou's face also had a smile on his face.
"Yeah, we succeeded!"
Although it is only a phased result, this result is still pleasing.
The next issue is to solve the damage of the first wall material by plasma irradiation.
For fusion reactors, structural and functional materials can experience severe swelling and embrittlement due to high concentration of radiation defects and accumulation of nuclear reaction products, resulting in an overall decline in the performance of core components and connecting structural materials.
A very vivid metaphor is that high-speed neutrons hit billows on the first wall like a billiard ball, but the atoms that were run away did not disappear, but went elsewhere in the material. Eventually, the atoms are constantly transferred from the center to the surface, and the material slowly swells like a hollow foam.
At present, a suitable method has not been found in academia to solve this problem.
On this subject, Lu Zhou didn't dare to say that he had full confidence, but he had some faint thoughts in his heart.
Of course, in addition to the key inner wall materials, there is also a vital control system, the "brain" of the controlled nuclear fusion device.
However, compared to the previous material science troubles, it is relatively easy to solve this problem.
After all, this thing is super-calculated. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can solve it as long as you have money.
It just seems that some funding is needed again
The microwave heating device is switched off.
The current in the superconducting coil gradually decreases.
The temperature of the plasma starts to cool
With this "steel giant" stopping its growl, the entire experiment finally came to a successful conclusion.
When all this was over, the cheer that had been suppressed for a long time finally resounded in the laboratory.
Many people even burst into tears.
In order to celebrate the hard-won success of the lease, and to honor everyone's hard work for months and nights, on the proposal of several young researchers, Lu Zhou announced in front of everyone that a celebratory banquet was held at the Purple Mountain Hotel at night.
Of course, the money was paid by him personally and had nothing to do with funding.
After the experiment was over, engineers at the site began to overhaul and maintain the equipment. After Lu Zhou took the present to Sheng Xianfu, he took off his white coat and turned to leave the laboratory embedded in the mountain.
The moment he stepped out of the tunnel entrance, a ray of sunlight fell on his face through the treetops.
His eyes were narrowed by the stabbing light from the outside, and Luzhou seemed to see something vaguely.
Just in between, the long silent pale blue dialog box emerged from his sight without any warning.
Fusion Light task chain
Learnable line: 50T superconducting magnet completed)
Learnable line: the first ignition is completed)
When he saw the two dialog boxes clearly, Lu Zhou froze slightly, and then there was a hint of excitement on his face.
Complete two tasks at the same time.
For him, it was an unprecedented experience.
