Sheng Xianfu: "It's already been put in."
If I feel this weight just by standing here, then what kind of pressure is Professor Lu bearing
When the report was brought to the laboratory, almost everyone gathered around it, regardless of whether they could understand it or not.
Hou Jinli: “…”
Before that, he had only heard some rumors about this institute.
From two streets away to here, there is basically no blind spot along the way.
Hou Jinli took a deep breath and looked at the experiment that was about to begin. His whole body was so nervous that he was almost trembling.
No unnecessary communication.
Hou Jinli was stunned: "Then how did you see it?"
Academician Pan: "I don't know why you are so anxious, but there are still five or six years before 2025. It is important to seek speed while maintaining stability, but stability is still the top priority... remember not to act too hastily."
Fortunately, he mentioned this.
Sheng Xianfu: "Yes!"
Sheng Xianfu held his breath.
At this moment, everyone's fists clenched involuntarily.
The neutron beam basically passes through!
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Xianfu looked at his watch.
Not only that, on top of manual review, it is also equipped with facial recognition and big data analysis. If a non-resident lingers in this area for a long time, someone will come and talk to him without even going near the institute.
Everyone present was moved and beamed with joy.
Take ten thousand steps back, even if something unexpected happens...
After all, China’s situation in the ITER organization is becoming increasingly delicate, and the United States’ interest in controllable fusion technology gives people reason to believe that they may have some crooked ideas and try to obtain relevant information from outside the negotiation table. data of.
STAR Device Research Institute.
At least it's like the subway security check, where you scan your body twice with a metal bar or something.
For a moment, white light flashed in the lens, and the screen turned white.
Academician Pan shook his head.
It's okay to help with outside research. Sometimes Lu Zhou can help make up for Lu Zhou's lack of tact in dealing with relationships with other research institutes.
Almost at the moment when the gas molecules were ionized into plasma, a thin film as brilliant as an aurora spread out inside the geometrically beautiful reaction chamber orbit.
Lu Zhou: "In my opinion, it is completely feasible to solve the problem while constructing. At least compared to the materials that resist neutron radiation, these two problems are not critical difficulties."
After glancing at Lu Zhou's back, Hou Jinli fell into deep thought.
However, the heat contained in it is enough to cut off all armor in the world.
After waiting for the device to cool down, staff wearing protective clothing quickly entered the reaction chamber and took out precious samples.
And this level of security measures is only available recently.
"Start experimenting!"
Lu Zhou: "There's a camera hidden there. Just don't see it."
"This is the best choice," Lu Zhou nodded and said expressionlessly, "If the LPC-1 material proves effective, I will immediately start the establishment of a demonstration reactor."
The security here doesn't seem to be as tight as expected
But in the specific experiment... I really can't give any advice.
All he could do now was pray.
Although the word "best" may have to be put in quotation marks, after all, the swelling of structural materials cannot be completely eliminated, but with the experience of the previous pilot fire, as long as the amount of fuel injection is controlled this time, there should be no big problem.
The hand holding the report was trembling. Hou Jinli glanced at Lu Zhou, then at the researchers who had never met before, and said with a trembling expression of excitement: "... The neutron beam basically penetrated the material, and the interstitial atoms basically backfilled. Origin grid position! All data show that this material has excellent resistance to neutron irradiation in the high-energy region and has no obvious radiation damage!"
The magnetic field that confines the plasma remains stable.
Fortunately, it is controlled by an invisible hand...
Although this process only lasted less than three seconds...
Hearing the same words, Lu Zhou's lips curled into a smile.
Sighing, Academician Pan looked at the steel behemoth behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Although these were impossible things to happen, they still made him feel confused.
1mg of deuterium-tritium mixture was injected into the inside of the reaction chamber from the catheter.
Because Lu Zhou specifically mentioned to the city government when reporting that the key content of this experiment involving fusion research was not suitable for publicity.
"Do we really want to use the STAR device for this experiment?"
Although the internal neutron irradiation environments of stellarators and tokamak are similar, there are still subtle differences. Apart from the illusory honor of "witnessing history", this is the reason why he chose the STAR device instead of EAST or other tokamak devices for experiments.
Confirming from the computer that the magnetic field was in good condition, Sheng Xianfu continued to order.
At the same time, the staff responsible for maintaining the equipment rushed into the equipment and began to assess the damage to structural materials, first wall materials, divertors and other components.
Looking at the busy staff in the laboratory behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, Academician Pan, standing next to Lu Zhou, frowned, with a somewhat worried look in his eyes.
"…what's there?"
It looked like a quivering cicada wing, as if a wisp of dust could shatter it.
"where?"
Academician Pan opened his eyes wide.
Otherwise, the municipal party committee really plans to send reporters over to do publicity for him.
40 billion scientific research project, he has never participated in such a major project.
At the same time, the microwave heating device begins to heat the gas molecules in the reaction chamber.
After all, I have been away from the frontline research work for too long, and I only have the so-called pioneer prestige in this field.
For example, the military region in this area is currently responsible for the security of this research institute.
Lu Zhou: "I've seen the surveillance video."
I always feel terrible just thinking about it...
If the device malfunctions, will he be held responsible? If the LPC-1 material didn't work, or if they missed a peak when doing XRD testing on the sample, the experiment was in vain...
…
Naturally, someone will do it for him out of sight.
However, he has no other choice but to believe now.
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, "I understand."
Lu Zhou smiled: "What else?"
For another example, maps such as Baidu and Amap cannot navigate here.
This time there were no cameras to record everything, and no reporters to interview.
These samples will be sent to a special testing room to test their DPA value, He residue and other attributes.
"I thought the confidentiality measures would be tighter."
After getting the signal from Lu Zhou's eyes, he ordered in a deep voice.
"All preparations have been completed and experiments can begin at any time."
"Coming in now?"
Lu Zhou: "Have the samples been put in?"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, liquid helium began to be injected into the SG-1 superconducting magnet, soaking the circles of graphene wires surrounding the orbit of the stellarator.
However, when he came in today and took a look, he found that the situation here was completely opposite to what he imagined...
When the two arrived, most of the researchers in the laboratory were already there.
More than twenty samples are installed in the reflection chamber.
Looking at the samples being sent to the testing room, Hou Jinli also followed them and assisted the researchers at the STAR Research Institute to complete the testing work.
At this moment, in the orbit of the stellarator, the most terrifying energy on this planet is brewing.
After leading Hou Jinli through the entrance of the tunnel, the two went straight to the laboratory embedded in the mountain.
Lu Zhou didn't need to worry about these things.
After receiving the order, Sheng Xianfu immediately returned to work.
"Turn off the microwave heating!"
After a month of maintenance, the STAR device has returned to its best condition.
He knew that Lu Zhou didn't listen to his suggestion, and his "I know" was probably just a polite perfunctory statement. Perhaps because he is used to working alone, this person is too assertive in his research.
Subconsciously, Hou Jinli looked towards where Lu Zhou was pointing, but he saw nothing except a knee-high green belt.
Although it has been more than half a year since he came to Jinling from the University of Science and Technology, and the project is somewhat related to the STAR stellarator, this is his first time here.
That’s worth it too!
Lu Zhou nodded: "Then get ready to start."
Seeing Lu Zhou appear at the door of the laboratory, Sheng Xianfu, who was in charge of the on-site command, immediately walked over and reported to him the situation here.
As the resistivity of the external field coil drops sharply, a huge current begins to pass through the coil. With the assistance of the control coil, a perfectly closed magnetic field is formed along the orbit of the stellarator.
After following Lu Zhou through the gate of the research institute, Hou Jinli looked around curiously.
Anyway, it's right to be careful.
"Inject fuel!"
The temperature and density of the plasma continue to climb until it approaches the critical point of fusion ignition.
This is probably the best news he has heard this year!
As the heating device is cut off, heat continues to be exported by the divertor, and the fusion reaction suddenly stops.
After all, he had never thought about these issues before stepping into this laboratory.
No obvious radiation damage!
"The security department here is from the army, so you can rest assured about safety. Unrelated personnel cannot get close to this place at all. As for the confidentiality measures... If even you can see it, it's not classified as such," Lu Zhou said. He raised his chin towards the roadside, "Do you see that there?"
Huaguo, Jinling.
"Has the liquid lithium neutron recovery system been solved?" Academician Pan glanced at Lu Zhou unexpectedly, "And the magnetic fluid generator set. These two issues are very critical, right?"
In less than an hour, the test results came out.
Hou Jinli scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
