Chapter 376 Forty-Five Minutes!
The superconducting coil fixed on the outer edge of the steel behemoth steadily increases the confining magnetic field until it reaches a certain set value.
Then, the fine-tuning magnetic field begins to be sorted according to the pre-set value, modifying the strength of each position of the steady-state magnetic field to form a channel that can constrain the plasma flow.
If the former is to clear a whole field, then the latter is to draw a dedicated runway on this cleared field.
High-temperature plasma turbulence is like an athlete, moving on the drawn runway.
And the CNC model, like a camera or a referee, specifically controls these athletes to prevent them from rushing out of the runway and causing trouble.
[The steady-state magnetic field intensity reaches 40.21 Tesla, the goal is achieved! ]
[The fine-tuning magnetic field has been corrected according to the instructions, and the magnetic field in the reaction chamber has reached the target plan! ]
[.]
[Helium-3 raw material has been injected! ]
[The ICRF heating antenna has been started, and the current temperature has reached 57 million degrees Celsius, and it is expected to reach 100 million degrees Celsius in three minutes! 】
【.】
The sound of reports continued to sound in the main control room. Every successful report would make everyone's face flash a little joy, but then it was quickly replaced by a solemn and tense atmosphere.
Everyone held their breath and looked solemnly at the various indicators on the main monitoring screen.
Xu Chuan stood in the crowd, watching and listening quietly, adjusting the timing and parameters of the various instructions issued by the Dawn Fusion Device.
Soon, the peak that had been reached during the acceptance operation was once again presented in front of everyone. After checking the operation data and confirming that it was correct, Xu Chuan took a deep breath and issued a new order:
"Introduce hydrogen! Start the simulation of the confined ignition operation experiment!"
The command sound was clearly visible in the main control, and as soon as the voice fell, the reply from the special control team sounded.
"Received!"
With the issuance of the command, the Dawn Fusion Device began a new round of changes.
The plasma turbulence mathematical model of the supercomputing center is constantly expanding the frontier data every minute and every second, and generating the corresponding confined magnetic field control plan in real time.
If the previous action was just that the steel behemoth crawling on the ground woke up from its slumber and yawned, then now, it will start to move forward along the road.
How far it can go depends on the efforts of everyone during this period of time!
At this moment, even Xu Chuan's heartbeat accelerated a little.
Standing here to command the operation of the Dawnbreak fusion device is a completely different concept from commanding the experimental device in the Princeton PPPL laboratory in the previous life.
Time passed bit by bit, and every second was quite long.
Ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute, two minutes, five minutes
Every time the Dawnbreak device broke through its limits, the engineers and researchers in the general control clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. A few people even dared not to breathe, and their faces turned red, for fear that their breathing would interfere with the operation of the fusion reactor.
At this moment, the steel behemoth crawling on the ground in the core laboratory was in its belly, nurturing the most terrifying energy and temperature on this planet and even in this galaxy.
Looking at the 127 million degrees Celsius on the main control screen, Peng Hongxi's old and turbid eyes flashed with tears, while Zhao Hongzhi, who was organized to study at the Planck Plasma Institute, gritted his teeth tightly, with excitement, hope, expectation and other emotions in his eyes.
From the injection of hydrogen to now, the operation time on the main control console has exceeded eight minutes!
This data has refreshed the record of seven and a half minutes set by EAST a few days ago!
More importantly, judging from the reports of each group, the condition of the Dawn Fusion Device is now quite good!
This means that it can continue!
And every minute and every second that follows is creating a new historical record!
On the other side, Wei Guoyi, who is responsible for security, stood upright at the door. Although he could not understand the values and images on the control screen, he could feel the expectation and enthusiasm from the eyes and expressions of everyone in the main control room.
The experiment seems to be quite successful?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but stand straighter, and his eyes fell on the young man standing in the C position.
Xu Chuan didn't care about other people's eyes and thoughts. He paid attention to various data in the general control to make adjustments at any time.
Of course, with the injection of hydrogen and the start of the simulated ignition operation, he no longer needed to issue new instructions.
The plasma turbulence numerical control model of the supercomputing center has become the new brain of the Dawn Fusion Device, directing its progress and path.
Until
the time came to thirty minutes, he spoke again.
"Report the situation of each group!"
Thirty minutes is a key node in the plan. Xu Chuan needs to decide whether to continue running or stop according to the situation of the Dawn Fusion Device.
In fact, except for himself, not many people standing in the general control today think that they can really do this.
After all, half an hour of operation time is really incredible.
It is precisely because of the appearance of this miracle that the voices of the special reporting personnel of each group are trembling.
[The current confining magnetic field is stable and the external field coil is in good condition! ]
[The supercomputing center is operating stably, using 34.7% of the computing power, which can support continued operation! 】
[ICRF heating state is stable, and the current plasma flow temperature is 128 million degrees Celsius! 】
[The load on the first wall neutron wall has reached 1.5MW/㎡, and it is predicted that it will reach the limit and start to cause damage in fifteen minutes.]
【First wall temperature.】
Reports one after another rang out in the main control room. Xu Chuan listened carefully, his brain spinning rapidly, analyzing the situation of the Dawn Fusion Device based on the report information and various data on the main control screen.
Overall, the current Daybreak is undoubtedly still stable, and all equipment and parts can continue to be stable. However, the temperature of the first wall and the load on the neutron beam have begun to approach the limit.
Fifteen minutes remaining, plus the thirty minutes now running, that's forty-five minutes.
If this running time is placed in today's controllable nuclear fusion field, it can be said to be a quite exaggerated or even outrageous data.
But for Xu Chuan, this duration data did not meet his satisfaction.
He originally expected to be able to do it for more than an hour, but now it seems that he may not be able to do it.
As for the specific problem, we have to wait for the subsequent experimental data and results to be analyzed in detail.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said calmly: "Continue to run the experiment, and the first wall team will focus on paying attention! The measurement team will do a good job of collecting receipts!"
The difference between half an hour and forty-five minutes running time is not really that big to him.
However, approaching the limit can obtain more and more effective experimental data, which is of great significance.
Fifteen minutes was not a long time. The ICRF heating antenna was turned off, the current supply to the superconducting coil was stopped, and the plasma temperature in the reactor chamber also quickly dropped.
When the entire Daybreak Fusion Device completely stopped operating, the suppressed cheers from the main control room also resounded throughout the world at this moment.
"Awesome! Sichuan God is awesome!"
"Forty-five minute run! We broke the world record!"
"Beautiful! I knew I could do it!"
"Hahahahaha, this time I want to see what else Luyang has to say!"
"."
During the general control, the cheers were loud. Many researchers and engineers even hugged each other and hammered each other on the back in excitement.
To everyone present, there is no doubt that this is a miracle!
Standing in the crowd, compared to the cheers and celebrations of others, Xu Chuan also had a smile on his face, but he did not look so happy.
On the side, Peng Hongxi obviously noticed his situation, walked over with a smile, and said: "The running time of forty-five minutes is really incredible. It can be said to be a miracle, but you don't seem to be satisfied." ?”
Xu Chuan turned his head and glanced, smiled and said: "It's not bad. Although it has indeed set a new record, it is still some distance from the one hour in my heart."
Hearing this, Peng Hongxi choked. Seeing Xu Chuan's calm face and even a little dissatisfied with the results, he coughed and asked, "Are you serious? You're not satisfied after forty-five minutes?"
"I was already surprised when I heard you say that the target for the second experiment was set at thirty minutes at the celebration banquet for the acceptance operation. Now that it has reached forty-five minutes, I didn't expect that you are still not satisfied."
"Using a second-hand piece of equipment purchased from the Germanic country and modified it, the first run of the experiment can be done for forty-five minutes. If the Germanic country finds out, I'm afraid they will regret it in their intestines, right?"
"If they knew the ASDEX device could do this, they would never sell it to you."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "But if the ASDEX device is left in their hands, the record it can create is only a running time of 50 million degrees and a few dozen seconds."
Peng Hongxi smiled and said: "That's true. Your high-temperature superconducting material and plasma turbulence numerical control model played a key role in this experiment."
After a pause, he continued: "This time, I'm afraid that old guy Chen Mingji's face will be smashed by you."
"He was so proud of his EAST 450-second result that he publicized it in the news media. He also said in the interview that it would be great if 'Breaking Dawn' could run for twenty seconds. As soon as your 45-minute result came out today, hahahaha , I really want to see how his face will change later."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan shrugged and said nothing.
He actually doesn't like to do things like slapping others in the face.
This time it was the other party who took the initiative to get involved, he was just incidentally, so what could he do?
PS: There should be another chapter tonight, please give me a monthly pass
