The cold wind is bleak. For northerners, there is no winter in the south, but the wet cooling that penetrates deep into the bone marrow makes people feel even more uncomfortable.

It is late January. After more than two months of repeated tests and assembly at any cost, the first prototype was successfully manufactured and the laboratory was officially on track.

"Save the data, replace it with the acceleration components of Brookhaven Laboratory, and the temperature is stable at 58,000 degrees Celsius, and continue the test."

The plasma temperature inside the prototype reached 58,000 degrees Celsius. The helium 3 atoms emitted by the acceleration component in the center of the Lanzhou heavy ion can no longer penetrate the plasma inside the prototype. As soon as the plasma is entered, it is dispersed and transformed into one.

Lu Yi's experimental ideas vividly describe the circular plasma inside the prototype like a river, penetrating through the river by firing multiple bullets on it.

Then collect the changes in the orbit, force, angle, and fluctuations caused by the bullet penetration during the bullet penetration process, thereby analyzing the internal information of the river.

The higher the temperature, the stronger the mutual movement of ions, which can be compared to the rapid flow of water.

When the water flow reaches a certain level, the bullets fired by the pistol will be washed away and cannot penetrate the water flow and lose its detection significance. At this time, you should replace the launcher with a more powerful launching intensity and replace the pistol with an anti-aircraft gun.

"Lu Lu, Xiao Meng, sent a message to determine that with the change of temperature and density, the turbulence phenomenon inside the plasma has changed. This change follows fluid mechanics, but no connection between low temperature and low density and high temperature and high density turbulence phenomenon is found."

At this time, Zhang Qing, who had been in charge of communicating with Lin Meng to study plasma turbulence, walked in with a tablet, showing a video call with Lin Meng.

"This situation was expected. If it was such a simple and controlled nuclear fusion plasma would not belong to the detection blind spot."

Hearing this bad news that I had expected, Lu Yi rubbed his forehead and took the tablet: "First send a copy of the data analysis report to my phone, and then back up all the data. I'll ask you to take it back to the laboratory. The overcomputing lease there will be up tomorrow and it's time to exchange it for someone."

"Uh-huh."

On the other side of the video, Professor Lin nodded obediently and signaled the students next to him to send a latest data analysis report to Lu Yi's mobile phone.

The 130,000TFlop/s supercomputer under construction in the laboratory has not been completed, but the experiment has begun. The huge amount of data cannot be calculated by the human brain at all. Lu Yi had to find a local supercomputer in Yangcheng and rented it.

Dingdong!

The customized phone in my pocket rang, and the 2.3G analysis data was sent in less than a second.

The theoretical downlink speed of 5G reaches 10G per second, which is equivalent to the download speed of 1.25GB per second.

Of course this is the theoretical peak. In fact, 5G download speed can reach 300M per second, so you are already living in a communication base station.

With the further upgrade of the communication network in December, at Lu Yi's request, Yangcheng's communication network was the first to complete the overall upgrade. After connecting to Lu Yi's compressed chip, the network speed was directly increased by 8.6 times.

Of course, ordinary mobile phones cannot achieve such a strong performance limit as Lu Yi’s customized mobile phone, but the general download speed has reached about 1G, which is a 5G network speed before the upgrade.

The communication network is being upgraded, and the company's chip shipments are also rising steadily. The shipment price per chip is 208 yuan, but the order price given to Huawei is only 28 yuan. It is a perfect monopoly business and is easy to make money.

Of course, this is a profit that everyone knows. In fact, this chip on the book still has a R&D cost of more than 70%, and the gross profit on the book is only 20%, which is the average value of the industry's gross profit.

After Huawei, Mobile and Telecom acquired shares, Lu Yi's shares have been compressed to 28.5%.

Although the price of most of the shares was paid, the company's compression chips have completely become the industry standard. In the future, even if other companies develop algorithms with similar compression ratios, they will not be able to intervene in the field of communications.

The 5G era is the era of the Internet of Things. In addition to mobile terminals and communication networks, various IoT devices also require baseband chips and such compressed chips. The remaining 28.5% of the shares are enough to temporarily support Lu Yi's research and squandering.

"The second test of 58,000 degrees Celsius!"

After the prototype has replaced the accelerator, the second test begins.

There are losses in each test, and the higher the emission intensity, the more expensive the emission components, and Lu Yi will still save money.

Therefore, the low-intensity test uses an accelerator transformed from Lanzhou heavy ion acceleration components, and the high-intensity test is replaced by Brookhaven Laboratory. As for the final CERN acceleration components, it has not been used, because the emission intensity of the test now does not meet that requirement.

The current accumulates energy through the capacitor, and the powerful voltage surges to the accelerator and is converted into magnetic energy to accelerate the internal helium 3 atoms, and in an instant it is emitted to the plasma with a temperature stable at 58,000 degrees Celsius in the prototype.

A large number of helium 3 atoms were emitted into the plasma in turn and ionized instantly. Some electrons scattered and broke free from the constraints. The remaining helium ions continued to rush forward, and continued to collide with the plasma ions in the prototype along the way to send out fluctuations, and finally penetrated the plasma and crashed into the targeted material on the other side.

Beep beep beep...

A large amount of data flashed through the screen inside the laboratory. This is the data of collision between helium 3 ions and plasma detected by the detection instruments assembled in the prototype, including the impact intensity, speed, impact angle and other data of the instant when the helium 3 particles crash into the target material.

YES!

The second test was successful, and the researcher quickly saved the data, checked the status of the prototype and accelerator, and then gradually shut down the prototype, accelerator, and replaced the damaged equipment parts.

"Now there are a lot of equipment components that are lost in each test, and nearly 100,000 are gone in an instant."

Standing next to Lu Yi, Zhang Qing felt a little heartbroken as she looked at the equipment parts that had been removed from the loss.

As the strength and temperature of the test continue to increase, the loss of each test component is getting greater and greater. Some parts that can be used 20 times at 30,000 degrees Celsius. The temperature increases to 58,000 degrees Celsius and may be performed 5 times. After 6 times, the loss will be scrapped.

It can be foreseen that when the plasma temperature of the prototype increases to hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius, the cost of a test will be no less than millions.

"The water-cooled deflector of the prototype is not good. The high-temperature particles evaporated through the magnetic field have caused too much damage to the outer wall of the prototype. I have asked Yashan to contact the domestic EAST nuclear fusion project in the name of Xiaomeng to see if we can borrow a few experts from them to improve our deflector and even the prototype structure."

Lu Yi nodded beside him, and he felt a little distressed when the money was burned.

Now, one test is just an ordinary car, and it will evolve into a good car, a luxury car, or even a house in Yangcheng.

The magnetic field cannot perfectly bind the plasma. There will always be a very small number of high-temperature ions that pass through the magnetic field and irradiate the outer wall material, causing damage.

This is an inevitable thing, just like the sun cannot completely bind its plasma.

This is also the significance of studying plasma turbulence phenomena.

Only by mastering the ion motion rules within the plasma turbulence can the stellar imitator and even the Tokmark be more optimized by improving the structure, reducing or even avoiding the damage to the outer wall material by ions penetrating the magnetic field, thereby increasing the discharge time of the controllable nuclear fusion device and even permanently stable discharge for a long time.

No material can withstand the irradiation of ions of tens of millions of degrees Celsius or even millions of degrees Celsius. This problem is not solved by the problem that controllable nuclear fusion cannot operate stably for a long time.

"In the next test, the temperature remains unchanged and the emission intensity increases by 30% for data acquisition."

After chatting with Zhang Qing for a few words, handing her the latest experimental data for preliminary analysis, Lu Yi began to arrange the third test of 58,000 degrees Celsius.
Chapter completed!
