Chapter 55 - Chapter 55 Preliminary Mastery of Fusion Reactor Miniaturization Technology

"This little thing can generate such a high power?!"

The Speaker looked at the small fusion reactor test machine in the center of the factory with some surprise.

1000 megawatts, this is an extremely terrifying power generation capacity!

You should know that the power of a household diesel generator is about 3-10 kilowatts.

Even the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier that the United States is proud of has a total power of only about 280 megawatts!

In other words, this black cylinder in front of you, about one and a half meters tall, can drive an aircraft carrier effortlessly!

Thinking of this, a fiery look instantly flashed across the eyes of the council chairman!

If this technology matures...

In time, Xia Kingdom will have absolute say on Earth!

"When will the experiment begin?"

The Councillor asked anxiously.

Fang Xu, who was standing aside, showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

This was a nuclear test after all!

After struggling for a while, he said softly, "Mr. Councillor, how about...you stay away?"

"Don't underestimate this black cylinder, it's filled with liquid lithium!"

"If something unexpected happens..."

A hint of horror flashed in the eyes of the council chairman.

Liquid lithium plus nuclear fusion...

Even a layman like him knows how dangerous this thing is!

But he still shook his head slowly: "No!"

"Chairman!" Fang Xu was immediately anxious, "Chairman, your safety..."

The chairman glanced at Fang Xu indifferently.

The unquestionable look on his face instantly interrupted Fang Xu's words.

"Don't worry about me. Since Professor Lu Yongchang didn't back down, how can I, as the chairman of the parliament, be a coward?"

"Yongchang! Let's start the experiment!"

Lv Yongchang nodded slightly, then turned to the researchers in charge and shouted, "Begin the experiment!"

"Start the heating!"

As Lu Yongchang finished speaking, a researcher hurriedly lowered his head and pressed a few buttons on the console in front of him.

A low humming sound began to be heard.

"This is..."

There was a hint of doubt in the eyes of the council chairman.

Lv Yongchang hurriedly explained: "The melting point of metallic lithium is 180.54°C, so before the fusion reactor is started, a period of preheating is required."

The councillor nodded slightly.

"How long will it take?"

"About ten minutes! It should be faster once the technology matures!"

"Good, good." The chairman nodded repeatedly, with a more and more gleam in his eyes.

Ten minutes of warm-up time is perfectly acceptable!

After all, under normal circumstances, this kind of fusion reactor would only be loaded on an aircraft carrier or a submarine.

For aircraft carriers and submarines, a startup time of more than ten minutes is simply too short!

"Professor Lu, the metallic lithium has all melted!"

A researcher shouted from the side.

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly became serious.

"Start the ultrasonic generator!"

"Inject deuterium-tritium mixed gas!"

As Lu Yongchang's order was given, a string of fine bubbles slowly rose from the bottom of the black container.

Under the vibration of ultrasound, the bubbles began to shrink regularly!

When the bubble shrinks to the extreme, a dazzling light emanates from the core of the bubble!

At that moment, the temperature inside the bubble directly rose to 150 million degrees Celsius!

The deuterium-tritium fusion reaction was ignited!

"A large number of neutrons have been detected!"

A researcher shouted excitedly!

At the same time, the neutron dose detector next to it also issued a series of alarms!

Looking at the smoothly running curve on the computer screen beside him, Lu Yongchang slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this...successful?"

The chairman of the senator put his head close to the computer screen, looked at the densely packed curves and numbers on it, swallowed slightly, and asked in a low voice.

"It's done!"

Lu Yongchang showed some joy on his face and said in a decisive tone!

At the same time, a fluorescent green light slowly emerged from the depths of his consciousness.

The next moment, his consciousness came to the mysterious green space again.

On the tree-like structure, a crystal white light slowly lit up.

[Fusion reactor miniaturization technology: initial mastery]

The first experiment lasted about a minute.

Because there is no matching generator installed, the energy generated escapes into the surrounding air through the heat sink.

After the experiment came to an end, Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, turned his head and said to Councillor Li, "Councillor, I have something to tell you."

Councillor Li raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded gently: "Go ahead!"

Fang Xu, who was standing nearby, was about to leave when he saw this, but Lu Yongchang grabbed his arm and said, "Brother Xu, you should also listen to this!"

Seeing this scene, the doubt in Councillor Li's eyes became more intense.

"Chairman, I need to gather all the scientific researchers in the aerospace field of Xia Country!"

Councillor Li's pupils suddenly shrank.

All scientific researchers in the field of aerospace! ?

This is a big deal!

"What are you going to do?"

After a moment's silence, Councillor Lee asked softly.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yongchang said softly, "Spaceplane."

"The transportation efficiency of traditional rockets is too low. Xia Country needs a more advanced transportation method!"

After hesitating for a moment, he added: "Mr. Councillor, if possible, I need the engineers who are responsible for manufacturing the J-30!"

"In addition, there are engineers who built the Long March 10 carrier rocket!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xu turned his head and looked at Lu Yongchang, and shouted in a low and hurried tone: "Yongchang! These engineers are important to the country, you can't mess around!"

After saying that, Fang Xu hurriedly apologized to the chairman: "Chairman, Yongchang doesn't know the rules..."

The chairman of the parliament raised his hand slightly and interrupted Fang Xu's words.

The next moment, he looked meaningfully at Lu Yongchang, who had a resolute expression, and nodded with a chuckle.

"good!"

"Since you need these engineers, I will transfer them to you!"

Fang Xu stood there blankly.

Crazy!

All crazy!

These engineers are the treasures of Xia Country!

Can this be borrowed casually?

"Then...what about the research on the J-30 and Long March 10?" Fang Xu looked at Councillor Li in disbelief.

As an academician of the Xia Academy of Sciences, Fang Xu naturally knew some secrets that ordinary people didn't know.

Xia Guo started the research projects on the J-30 and Long March 10 five years ago!

After five years, Fang Xu estimated that these two extremely important projects should have reached the most critical stage!

Councillor Li chuckled, a gleam in his eyes: "Stop!"

"Stopped? When did it stop?!" Fang Xu's eyes suddenly widened!

Can this kind of research task be stopped?

Is Councillor Li trying to bluff him?!

Seeing Fang Xu's surprised expression, the chairman of the senator's face revealed a faint smile, and then he spoke with a firm look.

"Stop now!"

"I said so!"
