Chapter 430 (1/2)
In the command center, Zhao Min, Li Chengzhi, Wang Nian, Li Jian, etc. all arrived at Qi. Chen Mo was standing on the platform of the command center, with the researchers participating in the experiment at the bottom.
In the first four experiments, the data parameters have been optimized step by step. In the fourth experiment, the numerical value is a double breakthrough theoretical value.
Now they need an opportunity, an opportunity to break through the bottleneck. As long as we break away from a certain value, the plasma can continue to run, no longer limited by time.
This is the fifth experiment, and it is also an opportunity.
The experimental parameters of [star ring] are close to the highest value. If this experiment is not successful, it is necessary to transform [star ring] to improve some of its performance parameters before the next experiment.
With Chen Mo pressing the start button, the star ring starts, the fuel injection is completed, and all works are ready to be completed.
”Prepare for the ignition countdown. 10… 9……”
The voice of artificial intelligence makes some people hold hands unconsciously and pray constantly in their hearts.
“3… 2… 1… Ignite. ”
At the beginning, the toroidal field current suddenly turned to zero. In the vacuum chamber, under the generated super strong induction current, the deuterium tritium gas instantly melted into plasma.
”Ignition successful, plasma temperature 98.37 million ℃ Is injecting deuterium and tritium fuel Increasing plasma pressure Plasma heating... ”
Ignition success, let everyone secretly send a sigh, continue to stare at the computer screen.
Next, it is the key to the experiment. The first four ignitions were successful, and they kept setting new records, but the plasma was finally extinguished. Their hope was also placed in the fifth experiment.
The command room was silent. Everyone's eyes are fixed on the computer screen.
As time goes by, the time for stable operation of plasma is constantly refreshing, which makes their hearts jump.
The temperature of the plasma has reached 120 million degrees Celsius, and the duration of continuous discharge has exceeded 1000 seconds, reaching 1032 seconds. Now, every additional second may be a limit.
Because no one knows when the plasma will jump out of the bottleneck.
”Data OK, plasma stable.”
”Plasma stability.”
”Plasma stability.”
……
Every ten seconds, the voice of artificial intelligence will ring once in the command center. The duration of continuous discharge has already exceeded 1042 seconds of the fourth experiment.
The operation of sustainable discharge is still going on. Everyone in the command center is waiting quietly. Although they are just staring at the computer screen, no one is impatient and even wants to continue like this.
”The longitudinal magnetic field is stable The angular magnetic field is stable... ”
”The ion cyclotron wave heating system works normally, and the ohmic heating system works normally.”
”Pellet feeding system works normally...”
”The plasma temperature is 135 million ℃, and the plasma is stable.”
”The first wall temperature is 2208 ℃, the diverter is stable, and the cooling system is stable.”
”[star ring] operates stably.”
……
Listening to the voice of artificial intelligence, everyone felt as sweet as the sounds of nature, and everyone unconsciously smiled, including Chen mo.
The time of continuous discharge has passed 1800 seconds, more than half an hour. The plasma in the star ring is stable and the fusion reaction can be spontaneous. At this time, the consumption of deuterium and tritium fuel is also reduced by 30% compared with the previous experiments in the same time, which shows that the tritium self-sustaining in the plasma body has been formed and the fuel utilization rate has been improved.
