After all, it is not just the German government that is investing in this kind of cooperative R&D project involving multiple countries, but also countries around the world are pouring money into it.
In less than six seconds, the light suddenly loosened and disappeared from the screen like a flame that was extinguished.

Lu Zhou had seen the list of cooperative research units. The names of those research units alone were enough to fill an A4 page. If the signature principle of the paper here is the same as that of CERN, as long as everyone participates in the research, I am afraid that the first few pages of the paper will have to be freed up to write signatures.
"That's right, it's over," Professor Kleiber, who threw the helmet on the table and walked over, said with a smile, "Now it only discharges for a few seconds at a time, and the longest I remember was about 6 seconds. , at the shortest time, only a few picoseconds.”
In the observation room, all staff are on standby.
Lu Zhou clicked his tongue.
However, compared to this huge collaborative research group, the stellarator that is the subject of research appears to be much "smaller".
When the magnet current reaches 15kA, the thyristor switches off quickly, and the magnet current is transferred to the first-level energy-consuming resistor, generating a voltage of 2400V, which breaks down the gas in the vacuum chamber and generates plasma.

"...I thought it would be a little more amazing."
"The superconducting critical temperature has been reached, and the circuit is fully charged!"
Following Professor Kleiber's footsteps, Lu Zhou and Professor Klitzing came to the radiation-proof isolation room and finally saw the full picture of Spiral Stone 7-X.
Suddenly, a whimsical idea came to his mind.
Originally, he was a little ambitious about whether to build a Taiwanese supercomputer for research, but now it seems that it is more realistic to build a Taiwanese supercomputer...
If it can be done, the impact on the entire nuclear fusion project will undoubtedly be huge, and will even affect the international community's choice of the mainstream technology route for nuclear fusion projects.
"...the temperature of these plasmas will exceed hundreds of millions of degrees after reaching its peak, almost equivalent to the interior of a star. No material can block this scorching energy, even if you search all over the solar system, you can't find one." Likewise. Standing in front of the screen and watching, Professor Klitzing said softly beside him.
“…”
Sitting quietly in the center of the radiation-proof isolation room, the stellarator, which is about 3.5 meters high and 16 meters wide, looks like the "Millennium Falcon" of Han Solo, the captain of the smuggling cargo ship in "Star Wars".

"The superconducting critical temperature has been reached, and the circuit is fully charged!"
While the two were talking, the experiment had entered the most critical moment.
I am envious, and Klitsing also understands this situation.
…
It's just that it has just experienced a war and is currently docked in the "Star Port". It can only be repaired by technicians.
Lu Zhou clicked his tongue.
Professor Kleiber grinned: "Theoretically, the discharge time can be made longer, but the divertor target plate has not been installed yet. Too long a discharge time may cause excessive heat load and damage the first wall. Materials. In another two years, when the water-cooled divertor is installed, we can try a 30-minute pulse discharge."
As he got closer, Lu Zhou could clearly see that equipment of various sizes were densely covered on the surface of the device. Countless cables spread from the equipment to all directions, seemingly tangled together in a messy manner.
Lu Zhou saw through the screen that a layer of light red film-like material formed a twisted ring in a twisted circular orbit.
When the magnet current reaches 15kA, the thyristor switches off quickly, and the magnet current is transferred to the first-level energy-consuming resistor, generating a voltage of 2400V, which breaks down the gas in the vacuum chamber and generates plasma.

Lu Zhou had a speechless expression on his face.

"How much does this thing... cost?"
"Fill with protective gas!"

Lu Zhou asked casually: "Then how does the star-simulating device do it?"
…
"It is said that it exceeds one billion euros." Looking at this device, Professor Klitzing, standing next to Lu Zhou, sighed with envy, "If the research and development costs are included, it is probably an astronomical figure."
If the system were to price magnetic confinement nuclear fusion technology, how many points would be needed for a mature stellarator drawing
"Relying on twisted magnetic fields," Professor Klitzing explained, "We use magnetic fields to constrain them, bind them in a limited space, and keep them away from the inner wall of the orbit. But even so, it still cannot persist for too long... "
If it can be done, the impact on the entire nuclear fusion project will undoubtedly be huge, and will even affect the international community's choice of the mainstream technology route for nuclear fusion projects.
The funding of the Institute of Plasma Physics is especially enviable by colleagues engaged in physics.
The operating stellarator gradually stopped, but the observation room quickly became busy like boiling water.

Following Professor Kleiber's footsteps, Lu Zhou and Professor Klitzing came to the radiation-proof isolation room and finally saw the full picture of Spiral Stone 7-X.
"Okay, don't worry about how much money it is. The budget is not something we need to worry about," Professor Kleiber patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The final debugging has been completed and the experiment will start soon. Now we Go to the observation room."
"Is it so expensive?"
As the secondary energy-consuming resistor closed, the thyristor switch closed, and the voltage dropped to 1000V. At the same time, the current rose to the peak value, and the entire track was suddenly filled with scorching light. Even through the screen, Lu Zhou felt something Dazzling.
What is presented to theoretical physicists is just data on the screen and images that have been further processed.

Different from the experience when working at CERN, the Hadron Collider runs hundreds of meters underground from beginning to end. Unless engineers with professional qualifications, it is impossible to enter the inside of the pipeline.

Currently, the longest discharge record is held by China's "EAST" of 102 seconds, which almost marks the ceiling of the "discharge time" of the tokamak device's technical route. If you want to raise this ceiling even an inch, A dear price must be paid.

As the secondary energy-consuming resistor closed, the thyristor switch closed, and the voltage dropped to 1000V. At the same time, the current rose to the peak value, and the entire track was suddenly filled with scorching light. Even through the screen, Lu Zhou felt something Dazzling.
If the system were to price magnetic confinement nuclear fusion technology, how many points would be needed for a mature stellarator drawing
"...I thought it would be a little more amazing."
Currently, the longest discharge record is held by China's "EAST" of 102 seconds, which almost marks the ceiling of the "discharge time" of the tokamak device's technical route. If you want to raise this ceiling even an inch, A dear price must be paid.
Now, in front of Lu Zhou, in addition to the detectors connected to various parts of the stellarator, he could even observe the conditions inside the orbit with his naked eyes through something similar to a camera.
It's just that it has just experienced a war and is currently docked in the "Star Port". It can only be repaired by technicians.
Lu Zhou clicked his tongue.
If it can be done, the impact on the entire nuclear fusion project will undoubtedly be huge, and will even affect the international community's choice of the mainstream technology route for nuclear fusion projects.
Lu Zhou had seen the list of cooperative research units. The names of those research units alone were enough to fill an A4 page. If the signature principle of the paper here is the same as that of CERN, as long as everyone participates in the research, I am afraid that the first few pages of the paper will have to be freed up to write signatures.
"The track sealing test is normal!"
Professor Kleiber grinned: "Theoretically, the discharge time can be made longer, but the divertor target plate has not been installed yet. Too long a discharge time may cause excessive heat load and damage the first wall. Materials. In another two years, when the water-cooled divertor is installed, we can try a 30-minute pulse discharge."
"Is this the end?"
"Okay, don't worry about how much money it is. The budget is not something we need to worry about," Professor Kleiber patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The final debugging has been completed and the experiment will start soon. Now we Go to the observation room."
The discharge time here refers to the time that the basic magnetic field configuration can be maintained in a discharge, which is the so-called pulse time of a discharge.

As he got closer, Lu Zhou could clearly see that equipment of various sizes were densely covered on the surface of the device. Countless cables spread from the equipment to all directions, seemingly tangled together in a messy manner.
Lu Zhou clicked his tongue.
30 minutes was the goal set at the beginning of the design of Spiral Stone 7-X.
Lu Zhou asked casually: "Then how does the star-simulating device do it?"
"That's right, it's over," Professor Kleiber, who threw the helmet on the table and walked over, said with a smile, "Now it only discharges for a few seconds at a time, and the longest I remember was about 6 seconds. , at the shortest time, only a few picoseconds.”
If it can be done, the impact on the entire nuclear fusion project will undoubtedly be huge, and will even affect the international community's choice of the mainstream technology route for nuclear fusion projects.
Suddenly, a whimsical idea came to his mind.
This laboratory is an "industry" under the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics, but this kind of global research is certainly not just carried out by the Institute of Plasma Physics.
Originally, he was a little ambitious about whether to build a Taiwanese supercomputer for research, but now it seems that it is more realistic to build a Taiwanese supercomputer...
Sitting quietly in the center of the radiation-proof isolation room, the stellarator, which is about 3.5 meters high and 16 meters wide, looks like the "Millennium Falcon" of Han Solo, the captain of the smuggling cargo ship in "Star Wars".
After all, the current mainstream choice is tokamak devices, but tokamak devices are stuck in a bottleneck in terms of discharge time.
What is presented to theoretical physicists is just data on the screen and images that have been further processed.
Lu Zhou asked casually: "Then how does the star-simulating device do it?"

Lu Zhou was slightly stunned when he saw Professor Kleiber taking off his safety helmet.
"Is this the end?"
"...the temperature of these plasmas will exceed hundreds of millions of degrees after reaching its peak, almost equivalent to the interior of a star. No material can block this scorching energy, even if you search all over the solar system, you can't find one." Likewise. Standing in front of the screen and watching, Professor Klitzing said softly beside him.
"The protective gas filling is completed and the pressure measurement process begins!"
Looking at this device, a thoughtful expression appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
"Relying on twisted magnetic fields," Professor Klitzing explained, "We use magnetic fields to constrain them, bind them in a limited space, and keep them away from the inner wall of the orbit. But even so, it still cannot persist for too long... "
However, compared to this huge collaborative research group, the stellarator that is the subject of research appears to be much "smaller".
To his surprise, the sight was quite beautiful.
In the observation room, all staff are on standby.
Lu Zhou was slightly stunned when he saw Professor Kleiber taking off his safety helmet.
Suddenly, a whimsical idea came to his mind.
"The operating status of the magnetic field is confirmed to be normal!"
"...I thought it would be a little more amazing."
"Is it so expensive?"
"Relying on twisted magnetic fields," Professor Klitzing explained, "We use magnetic fields to constrain them, bind them in a limited space, and keep them away from the inner wall of the orbit. But even so, it still cannot persist for too long... "

In less than six seconds, the light suddenly loosened and disappeared from the screen like a flame that was extinguished.
"The operating status of the magnetic field is confirmed to be normal!"
