All the researchers in the central control room felt a sudden shock in their hearts!
Troubleshoot!
There was a malfunction!
Just when all the researchers were confused, Lu Yongchang operated a few times on the computer in front of him.
The next moment, a temperature curve chart appeared on the big screen in the central control room.
When seeing the abnormal curve in just a few seconds, all the researchers couldn't help but gasp!
Lu Yongchang's face was gloomy as he input the curve data into the computer in front of him.
In just a few seconds, the verification results appear on the big screen.
Seeing the temperature curve rising at a slope of 90 degrees ten minutes later, everyone present fell silent.
This temperature rise curve... If Lu Hezheng hadn't discovered it in advance, the Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor would probably have collapsed!
"Professor Lu, if I remember correctly, this temperature curve should show the temperature of the magnetohydrodynamic generator, right?"
Lu Yongchang frowned and said after pondering for a moment.
After more than ten minutes of buffering, Lu Hezheng's heartbeat gradually returned to normal. He looked at the temperature curve on the big screen in front of him, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Hearing Lu Yongchang's question, Lu Hezheng suddenly came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is the temperature of the magnetohydrodynamic generator."
Lu Yongchang frowned even deeper.
The temperature of the magnetohydrodynamic generator is abnormal. What is the reason?
"Yongchang, come and take a look, the generator power was not right just now!"
Just as Lu Yongchang was deep in thought, Fang Xu's voice came over.
Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and he hurriedly ran towards Fang Xu's location.
At this time, Fang Xu had already called up the curve chart of the generator power change when the fusion reaction just occurred.
The power curve is very stable and has always remained at around 10% of the power generation capacity.
It seems that there is no problem.
After all, this is just an ignition test, and not a lot of fusion fuel is put in.
According to calculations, the operating power of the generator is approximately between 10% and 15% of the rated power.
But it is precisely this extremely normal curve that hides an extremely huge problem!
The moment he saw this steady curve, Lu Yongchang understood what Fang Xu meant!
"I see... there's something wrong with the generator!"
The researcher responsible for monitoring the generator power looked at the smooth curve on the computer screen with a confused look on his face.
"This... Professor Lu, I think the curve is pretty stable, so there should be no problem, right?"
Hearing the researcher's question, Lu Yongchang explained with a serious expression.
"On the contrary, such a flat curve means there is a problem!"
As he spoke, Lu Yongchang dragged the mouse and moved the curve chart to the far left.
"Look, the amplitude of the curve here is normal!"
"At 9:18 in the morning, the fusion reaction began, and the reactor outputted energy. At the same time, the magnetohydrodynamic generator also started to operate, and the power generation began to slowly increase."
Then, Lu Yongchang dragged the mouse again and moved the time to 9:23 in the morning.
"Starting at 9:23, the generator power was maintained at 10% of the rated power for a full five minutes."
"And at this time, the fusion reaction in the reactor is the strongest!"
"According to calculations, the generator power should have reached 15%, but it has remained stable at 10%!"
After hearing this, the researcher also understood the meaning.
His face turned pale instantly, his lips trembling slightly as he looked at Lu Yongchang and whispered, "Lu, Professor Lu, I... I didn't notice..."
The corners of Lu Yongchang's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a comforting smile, and he reached out and patted the researcher on the shoulder: "It's okay, relax. It's normal for such a big thing to have some problems."
"You should thank Professor Lu. If it weren't for him, we would have been in trouble in ten minutes!"
As he spoke, Lu Yongchang smiled and looked at Lu Hezheng beside him.
Lu Hezheng was stunned for a moment, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying: "No, no, no, this is just what I should do!"
Lu Yongchang waved his hand and said seriously, "Professor Lu, don't say that."
"You are the first to speak up about this kind of thing, and you deserve our gratitude."
After all, ordinary people didn't have the courage to stop the fusion reactor at that time!
…
Pangu-1, inside the magnetohydrodynamic generator room.
Lu Yongchang and a group of researchers were all frowning at this time.
After several days of investigation, they only came to one conclusion.
The magnetohydrodynamic generator set is operating normally.
At least, in the physical sense, all magnetohydrodynamic generators have no faults.
"This is troublesome..."
Lu Yongchang frowned tightly and spoke in a low voice.
The worst has happened.
In such a large installation, failure is not a big deal.
It can even be said that every large machine will have some faults to a greater or lesser extent.
But it's scary not to be able to find where the fault is!
At this time, the research team was shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere.
Every researcher had a gloomy look on his face.
"The brightest star in the night sky..."
Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone broke the silence in the generator room.
Lu Yongchang quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket.
It is an encrypted number.
His eyes moved slightly and he answered the phone.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?"
Before Lu Yongchang finished speaking, an old voice came from the mobile phone microphone.
"Ahem... Yongchang, I'm Councillor Li."
Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly became serious, and he cried out in surprise: "Chairman Li?!"
In just a moment, all the researchers' eyes turned to Lu Yongchang!
Fang Xu beside him looked at him in surprise, with a hint of surprise and envy in his eyes.
It turned out to be a call from Councillor Li!
"Yongchang, I heard that there was a small problem with the Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor?"
Hearing what Councillor Li said, a bitter smile flashed across Lu Yongchang's eyes.
Okay!
The problem with the generator has not been solved yet, and the matter has been reported to Councillor Li!
"Yes, I have run into some trouble, but don't worry, I will solve it as soon as possible."
There was silence in the microphone for a while.
Then, Councillor Li's voice was heard again.
"Yongchang, this matter cannot be rushed. We need to investigate slowly. Xiaguo is not in a hurry either."
"It is imperative to investigate the problem while protecting your own safety!"
"Do you understand?"
Although Councillor Li's words were very serious, they made Lu Yongchang feel warm in his heart.
"Don't worry, Councillor Li!"
Hearing Lu Yongchang's words, Councillor Li sighed slightly: "It's okay if Pangu-1's progress is a little slower. The point is... your life and the lives of the researchers around you are the most important."
"I know that every nuclear project has risks to some extent."
"But I want you to remember one thing."
"The future of Xia Country needs scientists like you to support it, so please be careful and stay safe!"
Lu Yongchang was slightly moved.
He never expected that his status in Councillor Li's heart was so high at this moment!
"Don't worry, Councillor Li. If there is any danger, I will arrange for everyone to evacuate immediately!" He said in a deep voice, "I assure you that there will be no accidents in the Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor!"
