Section 297

This is simply...not like something a human can do.

If it weren't for being a little rude, they would most likely want to ask: "Are you a human?"

After inspecting all the places, Zhao Zhanyou asked: "Commander Xiao, now that all the components have been installed, when will we start the ignition?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone present looked at Xiao Yi.

When does the ignition start?

Everyone is very concerned about this matter.

Only after igniting it can they know whether the thing that took so long to build can be successful.

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Looking at the huge device in front of me, I can feel a cold feeling if I touch it.

But then he has to decide when to let the device release the sun's energy.

"Organize everyone to conduct final inspections in the next month. Be sure to check every part to make sure there are no problems."

"Then... at the end of next month, let's officially conduct the ignition experiment."

"By the way, by then we can also officially make the name of the 'Sun Making' project public."

Everyone present was shocked, and then nodded.

This giant device, which has consumed countless manpower and material resources and has a total cost of tens of billions, is finally about to be officially launched.

Make the sun, mortals make the sun.

Can mortals like them really seize the power of the sun?

…

This month, the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute has seemed particularly quiet. Although many people can be seen walking around the institute from time to time, which seems quite busy, after all, it is much calmer than before.

But almost everyone observing the situation here knows that something big may happen soon.

And the day when the coffin will be finalized is finally approaching.

…

January 30, 2027.

A piece of news quickly appeared on major search lists.

[The EAST-S project was renamed the Sun-Making Project].

The message is such a short message.

But netizens always feel that the fewer words, the bigger the matter, and there are quite a lot of people discussing it on the Internet at one time.

Of course, with the announcement of this news, various international organizations once again began to speculate.

Including the name [Sun Project], there have been quite a few translations, such as [Artificial Sun Project] and [Fusion Energy Project], and some media directly named it [Prometheus Project] in order to exaggerate the meaning of this plan. That is the Prometheus Project. In Western mythology, Prometheus brought fire to mankind, and nuclear fusion can also represent such fire to a certain extent.

However, no matter what the outside world thinks and what they want to do, they cannot stop the arrival of time.

January 31st is officially here.

The ignition day of the sun-making plan has arrived.

…

Chapter 250 15GW

January 31, 2027, 8:30 am.

Inside the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute, there was a huge flow of people.

Researchers in white coats can be seen running around everywhere.

Everyone knows what kind of day it is.

Therefore, even though they have spent a month making sure that there are no problems in the areas they are responsible for, these researchers still want to make sure one last time at this time in order to gain psychological comfort.

The entrance to the main area of ​​the sun-making pile.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, why are you here?"

Professor Zhao Yang of Sensor Group 11 came here with his two assistants, and then saw three people walking from the other side.

These three people are also one professor and two assistants. The professor is named Zhang Min, who is from the cladding group.

Zhang Min said with a smile: "Didn't you come here yourself? Why do you want to ask me?"

Zhao Yang shrugged and said: "I have no choice. If I don't come here to take a look again, I will always feel unsure. After all, the sensor our team is responsible for is a neutron spectrometer. If something goes wrong with this thing, it is estimated that Mr. Xiao will come back." Can kill me."

Zhang Min laughed: "It's not that, it's not that. Chief Master Xiao is a very good person and won't kill you, but I guess other people will think so, such as me."

Zhao Yang's eyes widened: "Stop talking, you are responsible for the divertor. This thing is no less important than the neutron spectrometer. If you don't do it right, I don't need to tell Mr. Xiao, I will be the first one." Trouble you."

Zhang Min waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about it. I'll check it again now, and it will definitely be fine."

Zhao Yang shook his head angrily, and then said: "Okay, I won't tell you so much, let's go in first."

Zhang Min also nodded, but when they were about to enter, several more people came out.

As soon as the two parties met, they each said hello.

"Hey, Professor Luo, you're here too."

Professor Luo smiled and said: "Haha, I've been here a long time ago. I just finished the inspection. You guys go in quickly. Lao Wang and Lao Chen are both there."

"Okay."

Zhao Yang and Zhang Min both nodded.

Then they entered the inner compartment and put on dustproof suits to prevent impurities brought in from the outside from affecting the cleanliness inside.

Then they entered the main area and came to the side of the reactor. They greeted the other two professors inside, and they also started their own inspection work.

While inspecting, they also chatted.

"Speaking of which, when did you all know that the real name of our plan is the Sun-Making Project?"

Zhao Yang said: "I was shocked when I found out about it almost six months ago. I bet those people outside were guessing it was true. We were really going to try to achieve nuclear fusion. I thought it was all outside." Those people made up the theory of China’s threat.”

Another Professor Wang said: "Haha, that's okay for me. I already knew it nine months ago. I actually had some guesses in my mind at that time. Although I was quite surprised when I learned the truth, it was still okay. good."

Zhang Min said with a surprised look on his face: "You are all so early. I only found out about it four months ago. At that time, it was almost completed. I feel like I am the last one to know the news."

The last one, Professor Chen, said with a smile: "Hahaha, you are all quite late. I almost knew it after the UOmini experiment. The results of UOmini were too shocking at that time, and then I was Let me tell you, our first wall material is a new material developed by Master Xiao. Its ability to withstand neutron irradiation is at least several grades ahead of all other materials in the world. "

"At that time, I knew that we were really moving towards the goal of achieving nuclear fusion."

Several other professors nodded and sighed: "Yes, if it weren't for this material, I really don't know how long it would take to complete nuclear fusion."

Until the end, someone asked: "Having said that, do you think we can succeed today?"

Regarding this issue, everyone present fell silent.

No one dared to answer lightly.

An affirmative answer seems a bit like popping champagne at halftime, while a negative answer seems a bit negative.

However, when they think about what it will mean to the entire country of China once it truly succeeds, their hearts are filled with excitement.

Once you succeed, it will be a bright road from now on!

"Believe Master Xiao."

In the end, they unanimously gave the same answer to this question.

With the final inspections completed, they had gone about their business.

Everything that follows depends on whether Xiao Yi can lead them to success.

…

Master control room.

Everyone is sitting at their posts with great readiness, looking at various relevant data on the computer and doing final checks.

The whole room was buzzing with activity.

And in the front position, Xiao Yi stood here, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, constantly listening to various reports coming from inside.

I looked at the time, it was already half past nine.

The ignition time was originally expected to be 10 o'clock, but it seems that it will most likely have to be postponed for a while.

But the problem is not that big. Plans always fail to keep up with changes.

At this time, Zhao Zhanyou suddenly ran over and said, "Director Liu is here. He said he has something to do with you and asked you to come to the lounge."

Xiao Yi nodded. It was not surprising that Director Liu would come over at this time.

Then he urged each group on the intercom to speed up the inspection, and then went to the lounge.

In the lounge, Liu Cong was already waiting for him.

He smiled and said hello: "Director Liu, long time no see."

"General Master Xiao, long time no see." Liu Cong nodded towards him, and then said with a serious face: "Let's get down to business first. The old leader wants to have a phone call with you."
