”Power on.”
At the command of Chen Mo, the researcher in charge of the power switch pressed the button in his hand.
”Power on succeeded.”
”The [star ring] field system is working properly.”
”The background vacuum pressure is 4 × 10-6pa, the water-cooling system is started and works normally. The diverter is working properly... ”
”Increasing b-coil current, 10000 amperes 100000 amps 200000 amps 1.3 ma... ”
After the star ring was started successfully, the artificial intelligence of the star ring laboratory, together with the researchers, began to report the changes of various data.
In the command center, everyone's eyes are on the LCD screen. The above is the picture of star ring. At this time, star ring is preparing for the work before it starts. Everyone's heart is in a cold sweat and they can't turn their eyes.
As long as there is no problem in the star ring, it is a great good news for AI to report data again and again.
There are two conditions to use the energy of controlled fusion. The first is to heat the deuterium and tritium fuel to 100 million ℃; the second is to keep the fusion reaction lasting for more than 1000 seconds.
In order to achieve the first condition, a large current must be added to the b-coil in order to generate a large enough induced current in the vacuum chamber of the star ring at the beginning of the experiment, accelerate the collision ionization of free electrons, and form a plasma with a high enough temperature.
”The deuterium and tritium fuel is being filled. The deuterium and tritium fuel has been injected Ohm (e-coil) heating coil current has been applied to the maximum value... ”
”The diverter works normally, the water cooling system is normal, and the longitudinal field is normal...”
Soon, the current and magnetic field all reached the predetermined value, and the fuel was filled, and people began to get nervous. The experts and academicians on the field even became heavy in breathing.
The next ignition is the key.
In order to minimize the circuit of b-coil and induce current in vacuum chamber, deuterium and tritium fuel will form plasma.
Chen Mo is relatively calm. This is the experimental data that he got after simulating hundreds of times in the laboratory with superconducting computer and holographic technology, and with Mo Nu, the most advanced artificial intelligence. Even if it fails, it will not be too tragic.
After all the preparatory work is completed and the data is stable, Chen took a deep breath.
”Ignition.”
Chen Mo's simple two word instruction makes everyone's heart contract unconsciously and their eyelids jump. Only the data on the screen changes dramatically.
”Ignition successful.”
”The plasma beam temperature is 80.14 million ℃, the longitudinal field strength is 10.2 Tesla, the plasma current is 1.4 megaampere, and the working frequency is...”
”Charging into fuel, plasma density rising, pressure rising, plasma heating...”
……
Ignition successful.
Hearing the report of artificial intelligence, just four words, knocked on everyone's heart in the command center, followed by applause and cheers, many researchers' eyes were red and they cried with joy.
They didn't expect that the first experiment was successful, and the plasma temperature has exceeded 50 million degrees Celsius of ”super ring”.
After the jubilation, the crowd quieted down again.
Now that the plasma beam has been formed, the next problem is the duration of the discharge. If we can surpass their previous experiments, it will be an unprecedented breakthrough.
It also means that, besides the tokamak and the star simulator, a third possible nuclear fusion device is available.
As time went by, hearing the data reported by artificial intelligence, many researchers' breathing became heavy.
