The changes within the Three Roads University naturally couldn't be hidden from some people with a heart.
"What's the situation ... good and proper, why are all these roads closed?"
A few boys walked inside the Sandaokou University with depression written all over their faces.
"Could it be that ... a big shot has come to the school?"
A boy looked at the blocked roads and offered a guess.
Another boy slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It shouldn't be a big shot, just now I looked at the forum, it seems like the roads leading to the nuclear physics lab are all blocked!"
"What?"
"Nuclear Physics Laboratory? Could it be that there's going to be some kind of nuclear test over there?!"
The boy nodded with a grave expression, "I don't know if you guys have heard of a news, but the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Sandaokou University has been conducting research related to controlled nuclear fusion."
"Coupled with the news from ITER's side some time ago ... you guys say, is it possible that the Nuclear Physics Laboratory over there, is conducting controlled fusion experiments?"
This guess was obviously much more reliable than the previous one.
"Hiss ... If that's really the case, wouldn't it be that my summer country will soon master controlled nuclear fusion?!"
Hearing the words of the classmate beside him, the boy who had made the guess rolled his eyes in dismay, "How can that be?!"
"This is controlled nuclear fusion!"
"I'm guessing that this is an experiment."
"Last time I heard my mentor say that it would take at least a few more years for controlled nuclear fusion to truly mature!"
...
At the same time, inside the nuclear physics laboratory of Sandaokou University.
"Everyone, brace yourself!"
"Check the working condition of the components of the star imitator, if there are no problems, prepare to energize and start the first fusion test!"
With Lu Yongchang's order, the researchers in the lab came to their work stations and began their troubleshooting work.
"Cooling system normal!"
"The laser generator is normal!"
"The superconducting coil is in good condition!"
"..."
As a report came in, the expressions on Lv Yongchang and Fang Xu's faces gradually became serious.
When the last check was completed, a trace of excitement flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes, and he gave the order in a firm tone, "Start energizing!"
The researcher on the side pulled the electric switch, a low humming sound slowly sounded, and an extremely powerful current instantly passed through the superconducting coil outside the Star Imitation Vehicle!
"Magnetic field strength?"
Lu Yongchang asked loudly.
A researcher in charge of monitoring the magnetic field strength responded loudly, "The current magnetic field strength is 50T!"
Lu Yongchang nodded lightly.
A magnetic field strength of 50T was already sufficient!
After all, this was just a test, not the actual start of controlled fusion!
"Then ... the first ignition experiment of controlled nuclear fusion will now begin!"
While saying this, Lu Yongchang reached out and pressed a few buttons on the computer in front of him!
A little bit of deuterium-tritium mixed gas was injected into the reactor.
The next moment, the heating device began to activate.
Under the work of the heating device, the deuterium-tritium gas mixture would be heated to an extremely high temperature until it completely turned into a plasma state!
The deuterium-tritium mixture in the plasma state, on the other hand, would be firmly restrained in its orbit by the strong magnetic field inside the star imitator!
Countless parameters flashed on the computer screen in front of him, and all sorts of colorful curves and numbers bounced up and down in Lu Yongchang's eyes, converging into an absolutely beautiful picture!
"Alright! Prepare to ignite!"
Lv Yongchang droned in a deep voice.
Fang Xu on the side slightly gulped and pressed a button on the console in front of him.
In the next moment, a laser of extremely high intensity shone straight onto the plasma state deuterium-tritium mixture!
Boom!
The curve on the temperature sensor instantly traced a graceful curve and began to climb upwards at a slope of nearly ninety degrees!
In a matter of seconds, the temperature of the plasma deuterium-tritium mixture reached hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius!
The fusion flame is ignited!
Fusion has begun!
At extremely high temperatures, a deuterium atom and a tritium atom react to produce a helium atom and a neutron!
In the process, huge amounts of energy are released!
"Temperature reached critical point!"
"Large amount of neutrons detected!"
A researcher shouted out with an excited expression and an urgent tone!
The eyes of everyone present twitched slightly.
As professionals, they all understood the meaning lurking in those words.
The nuclear fusion reaction had already taken place in the inner cavity of the star imitation vessel in front of them!
Looking at the extremely smooth data on the computer screen, Fang Xu's eyes revealed a few moments of excitement.
"I, we ... succeeded!"
Perhaps because he was too excited, at this moment, Fang Xu's face was flushed and his lips were slightly trembling.
In comparison, Lu Yongchang's reaction was quite a bit more bland.
Only the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
After all, it was just an ignition experiment!
...
Because this was just an ignition experiment, the amount of deuterium-tritium gas was not a lot.
After a few minutes, the fusion fuel was consumed and the fusion reaction within the reactor slowly stopped.
Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately shouted, ''Quickly! Check the condition of the Star Imitation Device!"
"Now is not the time to be happy!"
Several researchers looked down towards the computer screen in front of them.
"The cooling system is in good condition, the external temperature of the Star Imitation Vehicle is currently stable!"
The first report came from the distance.
Lu Yongchang asked in a deep voice, "What is the current external temperature?"
"...25 degrees Celsius!"
Lu Yongchang nodded in satisfaction .
It seemed that the cooling equipment was in good working condition.
In the next second, he turned his head towards the researcher on the other side and asked loudly.
"What is the reactor condition?!"
"... The reactor is in good condition, no irradiation damage detected!"
It was only at this point that a bright smile spread across Lu Yongchang's face.
The first stage of controlled nuclear fusion had been a complete success.
The next thing that needed to be considered was the control system for controlled nuclear fusion.
As well as the selection of the power generation device.
Would it be a continuation of humanity's honorable tradition of boiling water, or some other more advanced option?
These questions circled back and forth in Lu Yongchang's mind.
"Snap!"
A hand slapped heavily on his shoulder.
Lv Yongchang's body trembled slightly, waking up from his thoughts.
Turning his head, Fang Xu was looking at himself with a smile on his face.
"I say, the ignition is successful, what are you still thinking over here?"
"Go go go, tonight, my treat!"
"I'll take you out for a nice meal to celebrate!"
...
That evening.
The official website of Sandaokou University quietly went online with a piece of news.
"Warm congratulations to the Sandaokou Nuclear Physics Laboratory for successfully running controlled nuclear fusion!
At the same time, the scarf hot search was also quietly changed.
''Xia's first controlled nuclear fusion experiment was a complete success!''
In just an instant, countless netizens who were eating melon late at night crowded into the comment section.
"Crap?!"
"Really? This is a success?"
"I remember, it seems like Xia had just withdrawn from ITER? Could it be that that rumor was true and Xia really stole the relevant information?"
"Upstairs, don't be ridiculous! Isn't this killing the goose that lays the golden eggs? I don't believe Xia would do such a stupid thing!"
"Let's not talk about these bad things, I believe that even without ITER, we can still develop our own controlled nuclear fusion device!"
"..."
