Chapter 380 This is the artificial sun!
This little bit of success is not worth celebrating in everyone’s opinion. There are many more critical things to come.
Ning Chen used Xiaozhi's information sensing function to monitor various data in the nuclear fusion device in real time, and at the same time, his brain was constantly performing various complex calculations.
After using more than a dozen evolutionary points in a row, Ning Chen's brain was much scarier than before, as if he felt close to a "brain computer".
This allowed Ning Chen to understand the true situation of the experiment without any experimental testing equipment at all.
"Sure enough... after such modifications, the nuclear fusion reaction situation is indeed much better than before!"
According to this experimental performance, maybe this plan can really be applied to commercialization of power generation.
At this time, the staff responsible for monitoring the experimental conditions also realized the breakthrough of this experiment.
Even though the current experiment has just begun, based on the energy conversion efficiency detected in real time, the improved tokamak device is already much better than the previous solution.
However, energy conversion is not the only consideration. The stability of the reaction, reaction cost, safety of the nuclear fusion device, etc. are also very important factors.
Everyone continued to observe the progress of the experiment nervously, and were always ready to deal with any emergencies.
As time passed by, the nuclear fusion reaction in the tokamak device continued very stably.
As the nuclear fusion reaction continues to proceed, the energy conversion efficiency of the entire fusion reaction is also constantly improving.
Based on the current data alone, the energy conversion efficiency of the new device has exceeded ten, reaching the lowest threshold for commercial use of controllable nuclear fusion.
This data is very exciting. It is also the only controllable nuclear fusion device in the world that can achieve such a high energy conversion efficiency.
Ning Chen was most satisfied with the stability of the reaction. Even though this was a nuclear fusion device that had not been verified by any experiments before, there were no obvious fluctuations during the fusion reaction.
This is one of the factors that Ning Chen is most concerned about, because only when the reaction proceeds very stably can Ning Chen rest assured that such a device can enter the application stage, instead of just staying at the level of experimental significance.
Unconsciously, the reaction time had exceeded a thousand seconds, but Ning Chen still had no intention of ending the experiment.
After experiencing the last controllable nuclear fusion experiment, Ning Chen has higher requirements for nuclear fusion devices, and naturally he will not use the previous standards to measure this experiment.
As a controllable nuclear fusion device that needs to be applied in real life, naturally the reaction cannot only last a thousand seconds. In theory, when the number of reactants is sufficient, the reaction even needs to be Just keep going.
In this way, the new tokamak device continued to react for several hours without any abnormality.
During this period, other members of the project team felt that the reaction should stop many times. However, since Ning Chen did not issue any order to stop the reaction, everyone did not dare to stop the experiment without authorization, so they had to continue Continue the reaction.
Ning Chen saw that the reaction time this time was indeed very long. After thinking about it, he said to everyone:
“This experiment will be paused for a while. Let’s summarize this morning. "
Ning Chen's words were a little subtle. He did not order the end of this nuclear fusion reaction, but used the word "pause", which made some people realize that Ning Chen's The meaning is not that simple.
However, with this morning's experiment alone, the project team has once again set a number of controllable nuclear fusion records, which is enough to make everyone feel happy.
“I can’t believe that we have so easily set a new record for controllable nuclear fusion reactions, and it is such a huge improvement over the previous record!”
“Like this The reaction conditions are enough to meet commercial standards. The reason why Ning Zhongzhi just said that he wanted to suspend the experiment is that he wanted to continue to investigate the fusion reaction stability of this tokamak device.”
“We don’t want it either. It’s too early to be happy, there is still a lot of work to be done in the follow-up, and it is only an initial success.”
Under the leadership of Ning Chen, everyone carefully summarized the experiment this morning.
After detailed analysis and calculations, the project team has reached preliminary conclusions on the performance of the new tokamak device.
The output energy and input energy of this new tokamak device have reached an astonishing 15. This value has exceeded the minimum commercial standard of nuclear fusion devices by 50%.
At the same time, including the duration of the continuous reaction, the stability of the nuclear fusion reaction, environmental requirements, the cost of the nuclear fusion reaction, etc., all have met the requirements for commercialized controllable nuclear fusion.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ning Chen asked everyone to go eat first and then continue the experiment when they came back.
Everyone was very motivated. After only ten minutes, they all finished their meals and returned to the experimental base.
While eating, Ning Chen had already made the next plan and shared his thoughts with everyone.
“Next, I hope to conduct a controlled nuclear fusion reaction for a month to further test the stability of this tokamak device. If no problems are still found in this process, this device Then we can proceed to the commercial research stage..."
Hearing Ning Chen's words, everyone in the experimental base was very surprised.
After all, it was just the first experiment of this device. Ning Chen dared to continue the reaction for several hours, which already made everyone feel incredible.
Because in the world's previous nuclear fusion reaction experiments, the reaction time was often measured in seconds, and continuous nuclear fusion reactions for several hours were completely unimaginable before.
But Ning Chen directly raised the time measurement unit to "month", as if Ning Chen was completely confident about this device.
Ning Chen will naturally not arrange experiments rashly. In fact, Ning Chen has already conducted many simulations on the current performance of this device.
Every simulation has given very good results, which means that the stability of this device is completely trustworthy.
Under this premise, Ning Chen did not want to be too conservative, but wanted to move forward bravely.
Through Ning Chen’s explanation, everyone understood Ning Chen’s thoughts and did not show any objections, so they quickly prepared for the next experiment. The subsequent experiments don't seem complicated. You just need to continue the nuclear fusion reaction as required.
But in fact, this will be a very huge test for the entire controllable nuclear fusion project team.
Although under ideal conditions, the controllable nuclear fusion reaction will be very safe and reliable, every second during the operation of the controllable nuclear fusion device must be strictly monitored. .
Even in an ordinary factory, someone must stay behind 24 hours a day, let alone an industrial reaction of the level of nuclear fusion. This means that within the next month, members of the project team will , they will always maintain a state of high concentration.
But in order to achieve the common goal of everyone, no one raised any objections to this matter, and they immediately got into work.
Due to the limited number of people in the project team, there is not enough space to work in three shifts. Therefore, we can only use two shifts. Each person needs to work for more than twelve hours a day without any holidays.
Ning Chen will continue to stand with everyone and actively work in the project team for sixteen hours a day, so that everyone can try their best to maintain the best working condition without complaining.
......
After the new phase of work began, Ning Chen announced the credibility of Xingchen Technology to the outside world through Xingchen Technology’s major official platforms and other media reporters. News of new successes in controlled nuclear fusion experiments, and truthfully revealed Xingchen Technology’s future nuclear fusion experimental plans.
Such explosive information quickly attracted great attention from people around the world.
"Xingchen Technology has actually achieved a controllable nuclear fusion reaction Q value of fifteen? This value is completely ready for commercial use!"
"Nuclear fusion reaction for several hours? This is truly artificial Sun!"
"Unexpectedly, their next plan is to conduct a nuclear fusion reaction continuously for a month. If this experiment can be successful, then people are really close to using nuclear fusion experiments. It won’t be too far away!”
As everyone’s attention to Xingchen Technology increases, everyone becomes more and more interested in Xingchen Technology’s products.
Some people have even begun to imagine what amazing technological products Star Technology will produce in the future, perhaps even aerospace fighters and space elevators, which are magical things that can only be seen in science fiction novels and movies. Technology is not an absolutely unattainable goal in Ning Chen's eyes.
As long as it is a product produced by Xingchen Technology, everyone is willing to pay for it.
On the other hand, under the leadership of Ning Chen, the experiments on the controllable nuclear fusion project continued smoothly.
Unconsciously, a month passed.
During this month, the members of the project team have been in a highly tense state, which has put a lot of pressure on everyone's body and spirit.
Fortunately, during this process, there were no unexpected events that really affected the progress of the experiment.
Even after a month of continuous nuclear fusion reactions, the Tokamak device still maintained its previous stability, with no obvious difference from when the experiment first began.
Looking at the exhausted figures in the project team, Ning Chen knew that the duration of this experiment was long enough. If the experiment continued, some members might really collapse from exhaustion.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen came to the experimental base and gave orders to everyone.
“So far, our new tokamak device has completed the nuclear fusion reaction continuously for a whole month. Our goal has been a complete success, and now we can end this experiment.”
Hearing Ning Chen’s words, everyone couldn’t help but cheer enthusiastically. The nerves that had been tense for a long time could finally relax.
Amid applause and cheers, the nuclear fusion reactor ended the fusion reaction, marking another major step forward in human exploration of controllable nuclear fusion.
At this moment, Ning Chen subconsciously checked the system's task interface, wanting to confirm the progress of completing the task.
Although Ning Chen himself knew that the current experimental results should not be able to meet the requirements of the mission, Ning Chen still had a glimmer of hope.
But the final result was not beyond Ning Chen’s expectation.
"Sure enough...merely meeting the minimum requirements for commercial controllable nuclear fusion does not mean that the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion has been achieved. There is still a long way to go in the future to complete this task. The road needs to be walked.”
However, Ning Chen was not disappointed by such a result. Ning Chen was mentally prepared for the task completion standards determined by the system.
Ning Chen is not in a hurry to complete the task and get the reward immediately. After all, this period of time is indeed too tiring. Even when Ning Chen is sleeping, his mind is full of things about controllable nuclear fusion. Now I can finally clear my mind.
After celebrating with the project team members, Ning Chen returned to his room and thought about his future plans.
“According to the introduction of the system tasks...the conditions for meeting the system requirements are not just meeting the data standards, but actually applying the device to commercialization. If this is the case, then, next, I will Just apply this new tokamak device directly..."
In this month's nuclear fusion reaction, the power generation of the entire nuclear fusion device is very amazing.
Even though this is just an experimental nuclear fusion device, its power generation is enough to support the entire experimental base, and there will be a lot leftover.
You must know that in this experimental base, there is a quantum computer that consumes a lot of power. Such high power generation efficiency cannot be compared with any other power generation method.
Of course, this kind of power generation is far from reaching the level of commercialization. This small tokamak device must be expanded into a complete nuclear fusion device.
“To achieve true commercialization... the power generation capacity must be increased at least ten times. It seems that the scale of this experimental base needs to be expanded.”
Thinking of this, Ning Chen quickly made some calculations and quickly determined the specific way to commercialize controllable nuclear fusion.
This method does not simply make the nuclear fusion device larger, but requires modifications in many details. Of course, this is not a big problem for Ning Chen.
