The generator set of the black bone nuclear fusion experimental device is essentially the one in the textbooks of junior high and junior high schools. The heat energy generated by nuclear fusion heats the water in the boiler and generates steam. The steam drives the flywheel to perform electromagnetic cutting movement in the generator, thereby generating electrical energy.

After all, for three hundred years, although human technology has been improving continuously, the way of generating electricity is still in the boiling water stage.

Pan Xinlong smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Jiang, there is nothing we can do about this. Only the energy conversion ratio of boiling water is the highest and the loss is the smallest. Although boiling water sounds a bit dirt-like, the technology is mature and it is more convenient to use."

There are more advanced and more sci-fi technologies than boiling water, and there are many, but the problem is that these technologies are not efficient and are not as stable as boiling water.

A good boiler can stably burn boiling water for decades, which is not comparable to other technologies.

So, Pan Xinlong’s words are correct. Although the book is a bit rustic, it is practical.

Just watch fireworks with girls and talk about life is very vulgar, but no matter how serious a person is, he cannot do without it.

And often the more serious a person is, the more he likes to do such tacky things.

Jiang Bo shook his head and smiled, saying, "Forget it, just boil water, as long as it works, don't worry about this.

It’s still more than an hour before midnight. You can prepare for it a little while. Press conferences from major media will enter the control center to conduct on-site shooting and follow-up reports.

If someone interviews, arrange a few smart researchers to be interviewed. Whether you two, Professor Zhou and Professor Pan, will you come forward depends on your own wishes."

"Okay, we know what we know. Mr. Jiang, please don't worry."

"That's good."

Time passes.

It was 11:45 pm.

Nearly 100 media reporters and videographers entered the nuclear fusion control center of the institute in turn.

The clean and tidy control center and full of science fiction style made the reporters overwhelmed, and the cameramen even hurriedly raised their equipment to shoot the scene.

Tan Jianhua also came here, walked to Jiang Bo, and said to him: "Mr. Jiang, the ignition of nuclear fusion is about to begin, right?"

"It's almost time, it starts at midnight." Jiang Bo smiled and said, "When the fire is ignited, should Director Tan press the ignition button?"

"Oh? Can I?" Tan Jianhua was stunned.

"certainly."

"It won't cause any trouble, right?"

"Just just go to the touch screen of the operating table there to press a button and start the ignition. All other things are controlled and executed by AI. Even if there is trouble, it has nothing to do with Director Tan."

"Okay, then I'll try it!" Tan Jianhua rubbed his hands, his eyes lit up slightly.

Seeing Jiang Bo's appearance of being sure to win, Tan Jianhua couldn't help but start thinking that if this nuclear fusion ignition test is really successful, then pressing the ignition button by himself will have a very important significance.

At least, in future history books, it will be written that Tan Jianhua pressed the ignition button with his own hands to start the era of nuclear fusion in China...

Wow, it's exciting to think about it.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon arrived at 23:59 on December 31, 2023.

Tan Jianhua stood in front of the console, breathing the air gently, staring at the countdown on the screen in front of him.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six…

"Director Tan, you can prepare." Zhou Ping reminded him from his side.

"Hey!" Tan Jianhua immediately raised his chest and raised his head, his whole body and mind tensed up, and his fingers placed above the button on the screen.

"Three, two, one!"

ignition!

When Tan Jianhua jumped to 1 in the countdown, he immediately pressed his finger on a red button on the screen.

Nuclear fusion test begins ignition!

At the same time, dozens of cameras on the scene pointed at a huge screen in front of them, flashing continuously, and shooting continued.

"It's beginning!" Zhou Ping whispered.

This nuclear fusion ignition experiment used the Black Bones supercomputer center. With the powerful computing power of the supercomputer center, the nuclear fusion device control system can achieve all-round and precise control of the nuclear fusion process.

When the ignition starts, under the operation of AI, about 10 grams of deuterium and tritium mixed raw material is injected into the vacuum reaction chamber at a ratio of 2:3.

When heating begins, the temperature in the vacuum reaction chamber begins to rise under specific microwave oscillation.

Because there is only deuterium and tritium raw material in the reaction room and no other substances, the increase in the indoor temperature is actually the increase in the temperature of the deuterium and tritium raw material.

When the temperature rises to a certain level, the electromagnetic binding force between the electrons and the nucleus can no longer bind the electrons and the nucleus, so the deuterium and tritium element becomes a plasma state.

Because of the continuous rise in temperature, the nuclei of electrons and deuterium tritium elements became unstable and could no longer stay in place. They began to move faster.

If there is no constraint and control, these particles with temperatures up to tens of thousands of k will destroy the nuclear fusion experimental device in minutes.

So, at this time the magnetic field will come into effect.

Under the strong magnetic field constraints of the iron-rich superconducting coil, the plasma deuterium and tritium raw materials begin to move in a directional motion. In fact, they are to rotate around the ring track of the device according to a specific route.

The heating continues.

After more than ten minutes, the temperature in the vacuum reaction formula reached the temperature of the star core, which was 20 million k!

The dark blue light and shadow permeate the entire vacuum reaction.

At this time, nuclear fusion occurred.

When hundreds of millions of deuterium nuclei and tritium nuclei collide, they no longer bounce off each other, but gather together.

At this time, the nucleus of helium 4 formed and released neutrons and a large amount of energy.

Due to the huge energy generated after nuclear fusion continues to occur, the temperature in the vacuum reaction chamber rises sharply.

In just less than a minute, the temperature rose from 20 million degrees Celsius to hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius.

The chain reaction of nuclear fusion was officially formed and entered the continuous reaction stage. The boiler received a huge amount of radiation energy and began to rumbling and boil. A large amount of steam drove the blades of the generator set to cut the magnetic inductance lines for power generation...

At this time, data popped up on the big screen, and the sound of ai also sounded.

"All equipment is operating normally... The indoor temperature of the vacuum reaction room reaches 120 million k, and the indoor thermal power reaches 54.4% of the total power and energy conversion rate of the generator set..."

Ai's voice fell, and after a brief silence, the control center took the lead and shouted "Successful", and the scene became full of joy!

Nuclear fusion succeeded!

Yes, nuclear fusion ignition was successful, completing the transformation from low temperature to ultra-high temperature, and starting the continuous reaction of nuclear fusion.

However, although the ignition was successful, the real challenge has just arrived!

After more than ten minutes.

The sound of ai sounded again.

"The steady-state constraint of 120 million k deuterium tritium plasma achieves a nuclear reaction time of 1,000 seconds, which is still 4,100 seconds away from the experimental record of the US D5D device..."

Zhou Ping hurriedly asked: "Report all the situations in the device!"

ai: "Well... everything is normal!"
