Chapter 305: Exploding Controlled Nuclear Fusion Reactor
The test and verification of the plasma turbulence model are still in progress. Even if the supercomputing center of Nanjing University cannot perfectly calculate this model, the test can still be carried out, and at most the data output will be delayed.
For Xu Chuan, this is enough.
First get the first batch of test data, then analyze and adjust some models, and then apply for a national supercomputer to do the second verification and test.
Mathematical models, especially those for plasma turbulence, are not so easy to make. They all need to be calculated and optimized over and over again.
And after the supercomputer verification is completed, he still has to find a way to test this model.
After all, the verification of the supercomputer is only a simulation test. No one knows how it will be applied to the controlled nuclear fusion reactor.
To be honest, it is also a hassle to use the experimental reactor to verify his model.
Look for domestic ones. Strictly speaking, there is only one experimental reactor in China that is qualified to verify the model, and other research institutes and laboratories are almost not qualified.
Look for foreign ones? Which foreign laboratory will agree?
Modifying the control model and algorithm of the controlled nuclear fusion reactor is not a trivial matter.
If there is a big difference, the first wall may cause great damage and loss.
On this side, Xu Chuan is having a headache about the subsequent test problems. On the other side, in Sakura Country, Ibaraki Prefecture, the capital of Edo.
Here is the QST Central Fusion Research Institute of Sakura Country, which has the JT-60SA controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor.
JT-60SA is an upgraded version of the JTTorus-60 previously operated by the Sakura Country Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). It began service in 1985 and has been modified many times. It is now the largest tokamak device in Sakura Country.
In the QST Central Fusion Research Institute, a group of researchers and mathematicians are busy in the laboratory.
Nearly two months ago, the capital sent them a document. What surprised the QST Central Fusion Research Institute was that this document was about the plasma turbulence modeling of the controlled nuclear fusion reactor.
Although it is not clear where this document came from, after research, they found that it is quite possible to establish a mathematical model for controlling plasma turbulence through this document.
After confirming this, the QST China Fusion Research Institute immediately launched a comprehensive research work. Not only that, Edo also supported their top mathematicians and modeling researchers to help them advance their work.
For the resource-scarce Sakura Country, nuclear fusion energy will help reduce or even get rid of its dependence on overseas energy.
At present, about 3/4 of their Sakura Country's electricity comes from thermal power generation, and the natural gas and other fuels used are almost all imported. Under the influence of factors such as the international situation, global energy prices have risen, resulting in a sharp increase in the country's energy imports and a sharp increase in electricity prices.
This situation has forced them to increase their strategic plans for other energy development and accelerate technological research to achieve energy self-sufficiency.
This includes controlled nuclear fusion technology.
After all, this technology has great potential to solve energy problems. If it succeeds, their Sakura Country will become the world's top power.
Although they have no nuclear weapons, no uniform subscription, and even US troops are stationed on their territory, as long as they want, mature nuclear power plant technology can be transformed into nuclear weapons at any time.
As for the military, what they lack most is also people. Citizens who have a lofty belief in the emperor are ready to fight for the country at any time.
Now that we see the hope of solving controlled nuclear fusion, how can we not be excited and work hard?
"Welcome Director Nakano to come to QST Fusion Research Institute to guide our work."
Outside QST Fusion Research Institute, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie got out of a Toyota vehicle. At the door, the director of QST Fusion Research Institute, who was waiting here, quickly came forward to greet him.
Nakano Takuma nodded, as a response, and then asked:
"How is your research on that document? Can the established mathematical model operate normally?"
Wu Rintaro, the director of the Fusion Research Institute in QST, replied respectfully: "The control model of plasma turbulence has been established, and the phenomenological model has been verified using supercomputers. The model is quite excellent."
"Currently, the control algorithm of the JT-60SA test reactor is being modified. It is now in the final stage and can be completed within three days according to the plan. Next, the new model and algorithm will be used to control the test reactor."
Hearing this, Nakano Takuma smiled: "Well done, Wu Rintaro, it seems that we can see the day when the empire rises again! I will ask for credit for you after the test is completed!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Nakano. Contributing to the empire is what I should do." Wu Rintaro's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. With the support of Nakano Takuma, he may be able to officially enter the political arena.
Three days is not a long time. Before Xu Chuan's mathematical model verification test was completed, the QST Fusion Research Institute was about to start using their own "mathematical model" to control the JT-60SA test reactor.
For Sakura Country, the start of the controlled nuclear fusion test reactor is undoubtedly a big deal.
On the day of the test, not only officials from the Energy Department came, but also many media reporters.
In the crowd, Wu Rintaro deliberately combed his hair back, revealing his high forehead, and the whole person was smiling and energetic.
From the mathematical model of plasma turbulence control simulated by supercomputers, the results are undoubtedly quite good.
The phenomenological model controls plasma turbulence almost perfectly. Both the bremsstrahlung power and the energy loss power caused by heat conduction and particle escape almost meet the standards under this control model.
What does this mean?
It means that they can perfectly control the plasma turbulence in the chamber of the controlled nuclear fusion reactor!
It means that as long as their experiment can succeed today, the controlled nuclear fusion technology of the empire will be at the forefront of the world!
It means that he will be the greatest contributor to the empire, and the glorious tomorrow and the bright future are waving at him!
Under the gaze of countless people and cameras, Wu Rintaro's face became more and more flushed.
"Report, the preparations are ready, and the experiment can be started at any time." In the control room of the institute, a staff member trotted over and reported loudly.
Wu Rintaro nodded, looked at the camera behind him and the people who were visiting the experiment with a spirit of glory, and said excitedly: "Everyone, I am very happy to witness the start of the experiment with you today. It is my honor and the glory of the empire!"
"Start the experiment!"
"Received!"
"Received!"
"."
A series of replies sounded in the control room.
With the confirmation, the JT-60SA controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor in the QST Central Fusion Research Institute began to operate slowly. Of course, when the deuterium-tritium fusion raw materials were injected into the reaction chamber, the ignition device of the JT-60SA controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor began to operate, and the deuterium-tritium raw materials in the chamber were heated into a plasma state.
Then, the model for the control of plasma turbulence began to operate with the support of supercomputers, controlling the orderly movement of plasma in the chamber.
The temperature in the reaction chamber began to rise.
In the first experiment, the Fusion Research Institute of QST only injected a small amount of deuterium and tritium raw materials according to the experimental rules. From the feedback data, there is no doubt that these deuterium and tritium plasmas are almost perfectly bound in the chamber.
After confirming the experimental results, there was excitement in the control room!
The preliminary trace experimental results were successful, so the remaining thing is to increase the amount of raw materials in order to achieve the effect of normal fusion!
"Increase the deuterium and tritium raw materials!" Wu Rintaro gave the order without hesitation.
"Received! Deuterium and tritium raw materials are being injected!" The staff who received the order did not hesitate to operate and injected the prepared deuterium and tritium raw materials into the chamber.
"If this succeeds, then the Empire will become the biggest winner in the controlled nuclear fusion route! He will also win countless glory and wealth!"
Wu Rintaro clenched his fists tightly and stared at the project in the control room. It will definitely go smoothly!
Just as he was fantasizing about his future life, he suddenly heard the exclamation of other staff members!
"The superconducting magnetron system failed! The plasma lost its restraint, and the first wall material is being hit by the plasma and is seriously damaged!"
"No, the plasma turbulence in the reactor chamber is losing control!"
"."
At the same time, countless alarms in the control room screamed, and the noisy sounds mixed together, making Wu Rintaro stunned instantly.
He rushed to the monitoring station, stared at the data on it and quickly asked: "What's the situation! Why did the superconducting magnetron suddenly fail?"
"I don't know, the plasma turbulence in the reactor chamber suddenly went out of control, and our control system can no longer control the high-temperature plasma!" The staff quickly replied.
"Stop the experiment! Stop immediately"
Wu Rintaro decisively issued an order, but it was too late~
As the NIF heating antenna heated up, the plasma turbulence in the chamber began to quickly lose control, and the outer magnetic field could no longer control the plasma inside.
The chamber of the JT-60SA controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor could not withstand such huge pressure. The violent plasma instantly broke through the entire reactor like a small hydrogen bomb, forming a violent explosion.
Before Wu Rintaro finished speaking, a violent vibration came from under his feet, followed by a deafening sound.
In front of the monitoring station, Wu Rintaro's face was ashen. Through the monitoring video, he clearly saw the explosion.
Although the picture flashed, it was still clear that a dazzling fireball was expanding in the reaction chamber carrying the reactor!
The high temperature of tens of millions of degrees mixed with powerful shock waves and reactor fragments danced wildly in the reaction chamber, damaging all the items that could be damaged, including the monitoring, which was directly damaged by a black screen.
In the control room, there was silence, and no one could believe this result.
Their core fusion reactor ~ JT-60SA, exploded.
