The three-day public naming campaign has ended.
The naming results were also placed on the desk of the project chief engineer Lu Yongchang.
Looking at the name in front of him, Lu Yongchang's mouth twitched slightly.
He looked at the sweaty staff in front of him speechlessly: "This name...can't it be changed?"
"Patrick Star, do you think this thing can really be used as the name of a nuclear fusion demonstration reactor?!"
"By the way, can I have a name?"
The staff member's face flushed, and he nodded hurriedly, "Of course, of course it can be changed!"
"You are the chief engineer, of course you have the right to name it!"
Lu Yongchang looked at the A4 paper in front of him which was filled with strange names, stroked his chin with his hand, and fell into deep thought.
The staff member looked at Lu Yongchang in front of him with trepidation.
To be honest, he was a little scared that Lu Yongchang would give him a strange name!
After all, he knew Lu Yongchang's age.
"Well... let's call it Pangu!" Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and he decided, "Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor, how about it?"
"Pangu created the world, which corresponds to the Xia Kingdom, which has mastered controlled nuclear fusion."
The staff member's eyes moved slightly, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
"This, this is a good name!"
"That's it!"
…
At this time, all the hardware facilities in the Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor have been installed.
In addition to four reactors, it is equipped with 20 large magnetohydrodynamic generator sets!
Each unit is equipped with 10 magnetohydrodynamic generators.
The rated power of each magnetohydrodynamic generator is 2000MW!
Calculated in this way, the rated power generation capacity of the Pangu-1 fusion reactor reaches an astonishing 400,000 megawatts!
You know, the generating capacity of a Three Gorges Hydropower Station is only 22,500 megawatts!
A full 17 times gap!
This is the power of nuclear fusion!
However, no reaction occurred in the Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor at this time.
As for the reason...it lies in the main control program.
…
late at night.
"Why!"
A heavy sigh was heard from the internal control room of Pangu No. 1.
"What should I do..."
The camera zooms in.
An old man in his sixties with gray hair on his temples frowned as he looked at the green code on the computer screen in front of him. He shook his head from time to time and then sighed deeply.
The old man's name is Yuan Hongwei, and he is an academician of the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences.
When he was young, he led a team to develop a control program for controlled nuclear fission, and as a result, he was selected as an academician of the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences!
As one of the few people in Xia Country with relevant experience, he was naturally invited to be the main person in charge of the development of the main control program for controlled nuclear fusion.
Next to Yuan Hongwei is a young man in his thirties. He is Yuan Hongwei's "closed disciple" and it can be said that he has learned most of Yuan Hongwei's skills.
But at this moment, both of them were looking at the computer screen in front of them with melancholy expressions.
"Mr. Yuan, we can't rush this. The main control program for nuclear fission took more than a year to develop. This is nuclear fusion!"
The young man whispered soothingly.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Lao's face froze, and the white beard at the corners of his mouth trembled twice.
"This... this is not urgent!"
"This Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor is now stuck here!"
"Now, everyone in the entire institute is looking at us eagerly!"
Mr. Yuan's words caused the young man to fall silent.
After a moment, the young man also sighed deeply: "Mr. Yuan, I'm not saying anything discouraging."
"To control the high-temperature plasma in the stellarator reactor, we must solve the turbulence problem that has plagued the physics community for countless years."
"In my opinion, this is almost impossible!"
There was a hint of bitterness in Old Yuan's eyes.
He knew this truth very well.
But he knew even more how much importance Xia State attached to controlled nuclear fusion technology at this time!
As an academician of the Xia Academy of Sciences, he is unwilling to give up!
"Knock, knock, knock!"
There was a rhythmic knock on the door.
Old Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and walked towards the door of the control room.
"It's so late... Who else would come here..."
There was a hint of doubt in Yuan Lao's eyes. He then cleared his throat and shouted loudly to the outside of the door: "Ahem...Who is it?!"
"Mr. Yuan, it's me, Lu Yongchang."
Old Yuan was stunned again, then he reacted and hurriedly reached out to open the door.
Outside the door, Lu Yongchang's eyes showed a bit of fatigue, but there was a faint smile on his face.
"Professor Lu, why are you here so late?" Old Yuan hurriedly stepped aside to welcome Lu Yongchang in.
After entering the main control room, Lu Yongchang glanced around.
When he saw the computers on his desk flashing green lights, he sighed deeply.
"Mr. Yuan, the fusion reactor master control program has not been completed yet?"
Hearing Lu Yongchang's sigh, Old Yuan's eyes showed a bit of bitterness and he slowly shook his head.
Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and asked again.
"Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"Of course there are difficulties!"
Before Mr. Yuan could speak, a young man in his thirties who had been standing nearby spoke up.
Old Yuan frowned slightly and scolded softly: "Su Cheng! What are you talking about!"
Then, Yuan straightened his expression and turned to look at Lu Yongchang: "Professor Lu, give us some more time. Fusion reactors are different from fission reactors, and the things we need to consider are a bit complicated."
Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man next to Mr. Yuan: "Mr. Yuan, this is your student, right?"
Elder Yuan nodded and introduced: "Su Cheng, he has pretty good talent."
Lu Yongchang smiled at Su Cheng kindly and asked, "Can you tell me about the difficulties you just mentioned?"
"Perhaps, I can help you solve it."
Su Cheng subconsciously glanced at Mr. Yuan.
Seeing that Mr. Yuan frowned but did not object, Su Cheng swallowed slightly and began to explain.
"Professor Lu, I won't go into detail about the difference between fusion reactors and fission reactors. I'm sure you know more about this than I do."
Lu Yongchang nodded slightly.
Su Cheng continued: "In a fission reactor, we only need to manipulate the control rods in the fission reactor to compensate for fuel consumption and adjust the reaction rate."
"But fusion reactors are different."
"In the reactor, the movement of high-temperature plasma is extremely complex."
"And this involves a difficult problem that has plagued the physics community for decades, the problem of turbulence."
"In other words, it is the Navier-Stokes equations (NS equations)."
"To achieve perfect control of the high-temperature plasma in the reactor, we must thoroughly master the NS equations."
"This is why the nuclear fusion master control program has not been completed yet."
