Chapter 538: No obvious radiation damage!

China, Jinling.
STAR Installation Institute.
"Is this coming in?"
After passing the gate of the institute with the landing boat, Hou Jin looked around curiously.
Although it has been more than half a year since Jinling came from the University of Science and Technology, the project and the STAR stellar are also somewhat related, but this is his first time here.
Prior to that, he had heard at least some rumors about the institute.
For example, the Institute is currently responsible for security in this military area.
For another example, maps such as whiteness and high German cannot be navigated here.
However, when he came in for a look today, he found that the situation here was completely contrary to his imagination.
Doesn't the security here seem to be as tight?
Lu Zhou smiled: "Otherwise?"
Hou Jinli scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I thought the avoidance measures would be stricter."
At least like a subway security check, take a metal rod and sweep it twice.
"The Security Section is a member of the army. You can rest assured that it is safe. Irrelevant personnel cannot approach here. As for the avoidance measures, if you can see it, it will not be avoided." Raising his chin along the side of the road, "Did you see there?"
"where?"
Subconsciously, he looked towards where the landing boat was pointing, but Hou Jinli saw nothing except a green belt high above his knees.
"What is there?"
Lu Zhou: "There is a camera hidden there, you just can't see it."
Hou Jinli yelled, "What do you see?"
Lu Zhou: "I have watched surveillance video."
Hou Jinli: ""
From here two streets away, the surveillance along the way is basically dead-end-free.
Not only that, but also based on human review, it is also paired with face recognition and big data analysis. If a non-resident lingered in this area for a long time, without even approaching the institute, someone would have talked to him in the past.
And this level of security measures have only recently been secluded.
After all, China is becoming more and more delicate in the ITER organization, and the interest shown by the United States in controllable fusion technology gives people reason to believe that they may move some misconceptions and try to get away from the negotiation table data of.
In any case, my heart is right.
And these things do not need Lu Zhou to worry about.
Naturally someone would do it for him where he could not see it.
Hou Jinli passed the entrance of the tunnel, and the two went straight to the laboratory embedded in the mountain.
When the two arrived, the researchers in the laboratory were almost there.
After a month of overhaul, the STAR device has returned to its best condition.
Although the words "best" may have to be quoted, after all, the swelling of the structural material cannot be completely eliminated, but with the experience of the previous test ignition, this time as long as the fuel injection dose is controlled, the problem should be small.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if something unexpected happens
It's also worth it!
Although the internal neutron irradiation environment of the stellarator and Tokamak is similar, there are still slight differences. Except for the illusory honor of "witnessing history", this is why he performed experiments on the STAR device instead of EAST or other tokamak devices.
Seeing Lu Zhou appear at the door of the laboratory, Sheng Xianfu, who was in charge of the current situation, immediately came over and reported to him the situation here.
"Soyou's preparations have been completed and the experiment can be started at any time."
Lu Zhou: "Did the samples go in?"
Sheng Xianfu: "It has been put in."
Lu Zhou nodded: "Then get ready to start."
Sheng Xianfu: "Yes!"
No extra communication.
After getting the order, Sheng Xianfu immediately returned to work.
Hou Jinli took a deep breath and looked at the upcoming experiment. His whole body was almost shaking.
For 40 billion scientific research projects, he has never participated in such a major project.
In case the device fails, will he be held accountable? If the LPC-1 material did not work, or if they missed a peak during XRD testing on the sample, this experiment caused a water drift.
Although these things were impossible, he was still confused.
After all, he never thought about these issues before stepping into this laboratory.
Taking a look at Lu Zhou's back, Hou Jinli was lost in thought.
If you feel this heavy just just standing here, what kind of pressure does Professor Lu often have?
I always feel terrible just thinking about it
Looking at the busy staff in the laboratory behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, Academician Pan standing next to Lu Zhou frowned, and his eyes looked a little bit harder.
"Are we really going to do this experiment with a STAR device?"
"This is the best ulcer," Lu Zhou nodded, and said blankly, "If the LPC-1 materials prove to be effective, I will immediately start the demonstration reactor."
"Is the liquid lithium neutron recovery system solved?" Academician Pan unexpectedly glanced at Lu Zhou. "There are also two problems with the magnetic fluid generator, are they critical?"
Lu Zhou: "It's completely pleasurable to solve it while we are constructing. At least these two issues are not critical difficulties compared to neutron-resistant materials."
Academician Pan: "I don't know why you are so anxious, but it is still five or six years before 2025. It is important to be stable and fast, but in any case, it is still important to remember to be stable.
"Well," Lu Zhou nodded, "I see."
Academician Pan shook.
He knew that Lu Zhou hadn't listened to his suggestions, and the phrase "I know" was mostly just a polite perfunctory. Perhaps because of the habit of fighting alone, this person is too opinionated in his research.
However, he now has no alternative but to believe.
After all, I have been away from the front line of research for too long, and there is only the so-called pioneer reputation in this field.
It's okay to help banging outside the research area. Sometimes Lu Zhou can help make up for the lack of smoothness when dealing with the relationship with other research institutes.
But I really can't give any advice in specific experiments.
Sighing, Academician Pan looked at the steel giant behind the floor-to-ceiling window.
All he can do now is pray.
More than twenty samples were installed in the reflection room.
This time there is no camera to record everything, and no reporter interviews.
Because Lu Zhou specifically mentioned to the city government when he filed the report, the key content of the fusion research involved in this experiment was not suitable for publicity.
Fortunately, he mentioned such a sentence.
Otherwise, the city party really plans to send a reporter over to do propaganda for him.
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Xianfu looked at the table below.
After getting Lu Zhou's eye gestures, he ordered in a deep voice.
"Start the experiment!"
Almost at the same time as his voice dropped, liquid helium began to inject into the SG-1 superconducting magnet, soaking the circles of graphene wires around the outer side of the stellar orbit.
With the sharp decrease of the outer circle's resistivity, a huge current began to flow through the coil. With the help of the control coil, a perfectly closed magnetic field was formed along the orbit of the stellarator.
From the computer to confirm that the magnetic state is intact, Sheng Xianfu continued to order large.
"Fuel!"
1 mg of the deuterium-tritium mixture was injected into the inside of the reaction chamber from a catheter.
At the same time, the microwave heating device began to heat the gas molecules in the reaction chamber.
Almost as soon as the gas molecules were ionized into a plasma, a layer of a fortress like aurora was laid out inside the highly geometrically modified reaction chamber orbit.
It looked like a trembling cicada wing, as if a ray of dust could shatter it.
However, the enthusiasm contained in it is enough to cut off all the armor in this world.
Fortunately, it is in the hands of an invisible hand
The magnetic confinement of the confined plasma is stable.
The temperature and density of the plasma continued to climb until it reached the critical point of fusion ignition.
At this moment, everyone's fists could not help clenching ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In an instant, the white light flickered in the lens, and the picture appeared snowflake white.
At this moment, the most terrifying energy on this planet is brewing in the orbit of that star.
Although this process only took less than three seconds
"Turn off the microwave heater!"
As the heating device is turned off, the heat is continuously conducted by the diverter, and fusion stops.
After waiting for the device to cool, a worker wearing protective clothing quickly entered the interior of the reaction chamber and took a valuable sample from it.
These samples will be sent to a special testing room to test their DPA value, He residual and other properties.
At the same time, the staff responsible for the maintenance of the equipment also rushed into the equipment immediately, and began to assess the damage of the structural materials, the first wall material, the deflector and other components.
Looking at the samples that were sent to the testing room, Hou Jinli also followed in the past and assisted researchers at the STAR Institute to complete this test.
Within a slanted time, the test results came out.
The moment the report was taken to the laboratory, whether or not it could be understood, almost everyone surrounded it.
The hand holding the report was shaking, Hou Jinli glanced at Lu Zhou and looked at the researchers who had not met in the pond, and trembled excitedly: "The neutron beam basically passes through the material, and the gap atoms basically backfill the origin Lattice! All data show that the material has excellent resistance to neutron irradiation in high-energy regions and no obvious radiation damage! "
Sheng Xianfu held his breath.
Academician Pan opened his eyes wide.
All the people present moved their expressions with joy.
Neutron beams basically pass through!
No obvious radiation damage!
Hearing this sentence also, Lu Zhou's mouth evoked a smile.
This is probably the best news he has heard this year!
