Chapter 557: Harnessing the energy of stars

The temperature in the reaction chamber continued to rise.

Breeding the hottest energy in this stellar system, the plasma trapped in the magnetic field flows like a layer of aurora thin as cicadas, flowing quietly in the reaction chamber.

When the temperature exceeded 100 million, that brighter light than the star was lit in an instant.

The endless energy is like a tide pouring out from the tiny nuclei.

Seeing this moment coming, everyone in the control room had an excited expression on his face.

However, no cheers sounded.

Because everything has just begun!

The reporter who pressed the shutter quickly backed away, and the researcher in the control room was busy nervously like tightening the clockwork gears.

The most fundamental difference between the demonstration reactor and the experimental reactor is that the latter only needs to complete a few isolated experiments to be considered a success, while the former is based on the actual meaning of success or failure.

At this moment, the sleeping dragon had been awakened by them, and was deafeningly roaring.

As for whether they can harness this stellar energy, it depends on whether they can put a rein on it!

"A fusion reaction was observed! The neutron beam was in contact with the beryllium metal layer!"

"The external field coil is being adjusted ... the plasma control scheme is confirmed to be effective!"

"The confinement magnetic field is stable! Confirm that the plasma in the reaction chamber is in good condition!"

"Plutonin was observed by the recovery pump! The liquid lithium neutron recovery system is confirmed to be effective!"

The circulating liquid lithium is like the hot blood in the dragon's body. The reciprocating hafnium and the slowly injected deuterin are mixed together, returned to the reaction chamber, and continue to be ignited.

The staff members reporting the situation were trembling in their voices.

Su Su successfully recovered!

After the successful ignition, the second goal of the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project was successfully achieved!

Not only his voice, but also his shoulders, were shaking with that excitement.

Even more than just himself.

All the researchers in the reaction room clenched their fists excitedly because of the scene in front of them.

Whether radon can be recycled as an intermediate product in the reactor is the key to the commercialization of the reactor.

Although the specific recovery rate can't be judged until the end of the experiment, but for the voxels observed so far, they have at least reached the expected goal!

And this achievement alone, the efforts of more than a year, will not be wasted ...

At the same time, the side of the demonstration base near the sea, next to a facility that looks like a drain.

Accompanied by security personnel, the engineer who was examining the heat-exhaust outlet pressure control valve looked at the constantly beating dial and squinted his eyes.

"Oh, it looks like we're doing well."

The doctoral student standing next to him was a little hesitant, wondering.

"What's good?"

The old engineer smiled and said, "What else is there besides a reactor?"

A little surprised in my heart, the doctoral student couldn't help asking: "How do you see this?"

"Water pressure, move your brain, you are studying engineering, but it is not enough to publish a paper," knocked the pipe next to it with a wrench, and the old engineer said in a good mood. What does it mean to drain hot water? You talk about it. "

"The core is working ..." swallowed, and the doctoral student asked excitedly, "So we ... is this successful?"

The old engineer narrowed his eyes. "Now it is too early to say whether this can be successful or not, the power is not up to expectations. Our demonstration powerhouse is benchmarked against the provincial power grid. With a capacity of 100,000 megawatts, it is not so easy to achieve the standard. "

"100,000 megawatts ... Do you think this is possible?"

"It's impossible now, we have only installed 4 magneto-fluidic generator sets, and it will be 4000 MW in the sky." The old engineer smiled. "However, installing more than a hundred sets is almost enough!"

It is fundamentally different from a nuclear fission generator set.

The magnetic fluid generator set on the STAR-2 demonstration reactor is not only relatively small, but also the theoretical engineering capacity on the STAR-2 demonstration reactor is surprisingly high.

With only four generator sets, the heat generated by fusion cannot be fully utilized. Even with the current fuel injection amount, most of the heat is also discharged into the sea. In his opinion, adding another one hundred magnetic fluid generators on this basis is completely feasible in engineering.

"One hundred generators ..." Looking at the dial on the water pipe, the doctoral student sighed softly, "I don't know how much heavy water I have to burn in a day ..."

The old engineer smiled.

"Probably, more than fifty kilos."

According to the most expensive market, one kilogram is 4,000 yuan, and 50 kilograms of heavy water is about 200,000.

Only 200,000 yuan of fuel is enough for one day in the entire province of Suzhou.

Even if the actual cost has increased tenfold, this investment is too cheap ...

...

Of course, the current STAR-2 demonstration reactor naturally does not use as much deuterin.

Fifty kilograms of deuterin consumption per day, that is the maximum value of the reactor at full load power operation.

In current ignition experiments, fuel is continuously injected into the reactor in units of mg / s.

After all, there are only four magnetic fluid generating units installed, and most of the heat is directly discharged.

At this moment, it reflects the interior.

The forty-minute cycle came to an end. The heat accumulated in the reactor was continuously introduced into the sea by the circulating water cooling system. With the termination of the fusion reaction, the temperature of the gas molecules in the reactor core dropped from 100 million to below 10 million.

From now on, the reactor will be shut down for twenty minutes.

In the next twenty minutes, the outer field coil will re-correct the configuration of the magnetic field in preparation for the next cycle.

Although the reactor entered the intermission period, the staff in the control room did not dare to relax in the slightest, and still worked in their respective positions.

Staring at the line of data on the computer screen and the image drawn in real time, Lu Zhou meditated for a moment and then ordered.

"Turn on generator number 1."

According to the feedback data, the results of the previous round of experiments were quite perfect.

It's time to move the experiment to the last step!

"Yes!"

After receiving this command, the staff sitting in front of the computer immediately pressed the button to access the No. 1 generator set.

As with most coastal nuclear fission power stations, the surplus heat in the reactor is directly discharged into the sea through a water-cooled system when power is not generated. As for helium ash, which is unique to nuclear fusion, it is recovered through a special device after cooling.

When power generation is required, the interface of the thermal energy output is connected to the corresponding generator set.

You can load as much electricity as you need, and connect as many units as you want.

Soon, with the No. 1 generator set connected to the reactor, the second round of experiments started again.

When that star's energy was released again, it wasn't just the seawater at the cooling mouth that boiled out of the steel giant, but at the same time it was awakened by another set of plasmas in the magneto-fluid generator.

Those plasma gases ionized at high temperatures are ejected from the nozzles, cutting the magnetic induction lines at high speed, and converting the thermal energy in the reactor into a steady stream of electrical energy.

With his eyes locked on the screen, the researcher sitting in front of the computer screen said with an excited voice.

"The connection of the magnetic fluid generator set is working!"

"The power of No. 1 generator set is increasing!"

"The power of No. 1 generator is fully loaded, reaching the expected 1000MW!"

In the end, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, and shouted that excitement.

"We succeeded!"

Yes, they succeeded!

The energy released by fusion is being continuously converted into electrical energy and used by them.

As the No. I generator set started to supply power to the ICRF device, the entire fusion reactor and generator set have formed a cycle that can continuously and stably output electrical energy.

In this star system, no form of energy is more pure and closer to its origin.

That cry resonated in everyone's heart.

In the control room, deafening cheers erupted, and people hugged each other and celebrated each other.

Victory belongs to them ~ www.readwn.com ~ History will not only remember everyone here.

We will also remember together their victory.

Looking at the cheering researchers, Lao Pan's face was flushed, his fists were clenched tightly, his dry lips trembled, and he muttered the words that only he could hear.

Academician Wang laughed arrogantly, and his right hand full of calluses patted Academician Li Jiangang's shoulders vigorously, like a child excitedly.

"I'm talking to you? Doesn't Lao Tzu's generator work?"

"Yes, yes, you are great!"

Academician Li raised his hand and narrowed his eyes.

If it was normal, he would certainly not be able to stand up to him.

But at this moment, there was only excitement in his heart, and those damaging words could not be explained.

Standing at the door of the control room, watching the researchers in the control room, especially the back of the landing boat, Dai Dai took off his military cap, his throat knot moved slightly, and his fortitude pupil didn't know when he was in tears.

He didn't know what the data in the computer meant.

It's not even clear why these researchers are cheering.

But he clearly knew that from this moment, the light of controlled fusion finally bloomed on the land of Huaxia.

The shackles of energy are shattered.

There is nothing more that can stop her from taking off.

This battle, they won ...

Cheers echoed in my ears. I don't know how many times I was embraced. Standing in front of the console, Lu Zhou gently shook his fist in his right hand, then released.

The expression that tightened from the moment the button was pressed finally finally relieved a smile.

"Yeah ... we succeeded."

At this moment, the translucent text was floating in his sight.
