November 06.

Hefei, Plasma Research Institute.

Huang Xiuyuan came to the Oriental Superring Base of the Institute through a stand-alone robot.

"Xuyuan, long time no see." Academician Li Jiangang, who was in charge of the project, shook hands with him with a smile.

Huang Xiuyuan also smiled and nodded: "Academician Li, don't be fine."

The two of them exchanged greetings, while Qian Sizhen, director of Hefei Plasma Research Institute, who was standing beside him, had a slightly awkward expression.

When the Suiren Department established the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute, it directly poached the Hefei Plasma Research Institute and pulled away more than 80 technical backbones, almost paralyzing the Oriental Superring Base.

Qian Sizhen, who could not keep people, was almost beaten by the superiors. In the end, he quickly reformed the internal management mechanism and improved the treatment of researchers and the scientific research environment. The Plasma Research Institute gradually recovered its vitality.

Now Huang Xiuyuan came over in person, Qian Sizhen was afraid that Suiren would come to poach again. If he did it again, he would probably not be the director.

Inside the Oriental Superring Base.

Huang Xiuyuan naturally noticed that the administrative staff of the Plasma Research Institute were guarding against him, while the researchers were much more enthusiastic.

He smiled but said nothing, gave some pressure to make these guys remember, and they would not make any changes.

Academician Li, who was standing by, was also happy to see that many state-owned research institutes in China did have many problems. If Suiren was to tie this catfish, they would be able to move on their own.

Next to the experimental computer room of the Oriental Superring Base.

In the corridor on the third floor of Huang Xiuyuan Station, looking down at the experimental equipment. The prototype of the Oriental Super Ring was bought from Lucia in the 1990s and belongs to the Tokamak device.

After more than ten years of transformation and upgrading, especially in recent years, the further upgrade of the Oriental Super Ring has been driven by the advancement of Suiren in materials and precision instruments.

Currently, helium atoms are used as reaction raw materials to form plasma, mainly experimental magnetic binding control and plasma heating, and there is no real nuclear fusion experiment.

Because of the real nuclear fusion experiment, deuterium and tritium are required to use as raw materials, which will produce a large number of thermal neutrons and cause great damage to the equipment.

In the past, when doing research in China, people were very careful in their lives. Naturally, it was impossible to directly use the deuterium-tritium reaction, but use helium 4 atoms as raw material, which can extend the service life.

"Xiuyuan, the transformation you requested has been initially completed here." Academician Li pointed to the unit equipment of the Dongfang Chaohuan and said.

Half a month ago, Huang Xiuyuan issued a renovation details and took out a 500 million yuan in funds to let Dongfang Chaohuan cooperate in the experiment.

Qian Sizhen is also more cooperative. After all, it is not only Hefei Plasma Research Institute in China, but also several other research institutes, which are also developing tokamak devices.

Cooperating with an experiment, there was 500 million yuan in research funds and the two parties shared the data, so naturally there was no reason to refuse.

Huang Xiuyuan's transformation plan is also relatively simple, with only adding 210 magnetic field co-controllers and three independent control systems.

"Start the test!" After he said that, he took a suitcase from Xiao Yingnan's hand and opened it. There was only a special storage inside.

In the control room, he inserted the storage into the chassis, set the parameters from the storage, and implanted them into the three independent assisting control systems.

Chief researcher Xu Guosheng turned his head and whispered: "Mr. Huang, I'm ready here."

"My side is also coming soon." After Huang Xiuyuan hit the Enter key, the magnetic field assisted the control system parameters to load:

"Researcher Xu, let's start the magnetic field constraint first, and I'll try the magnetic field to assist in the operation of the control system."

"Yes." Xu Guosheng nodded.

The superconducting magnetic field system of the Oriental Superring was started, and then the three sets of magnetic field assisting control systems were also started.

Huang Xiuyuan conducted control tests on the 210 co-controllers one by one to ensure that the local magnetic field strength can be accurately regulated.

During the plasma operation, local turbulence is very easy to occur, causing the plasma to suddenly lose control, resulting in the system being forced to shut down.

After many upgrades and transformations, the Oriental Super Ring can only achieve an electronic temperature of 85 million degrees Celsius and a plasma temperature of 11 million degrees Celsius, and continue to run for 55 seconds.

It can be seen from this that the difficulty of controlling nuclear fusion is really not ordinary.

This is just a problem of plasma operation control. If this coat is solved, it also needs to face more difficult neutron irradiation problems.

After more than an hour of testing, Huang Xiuyuan stood up and instructed: "Researcher Xu, you can start plasma injection."

"Okay." Xu Guosheng also became slightly excited.

Everyone present was also very excited. They could do only a few experiments throughout the year, mainly because it was too expensive.

Now the Suiren Group is willing to pay for experiments, but they are reluctant to ask for it.

Twenty minutes later, the various systems of the Oriental Super Ring started to run, and a stream of helium 4 plasma was injected into the vacuum cavity of the magnetic ring.

The plasma is running faster and faster, and the temperature is also rising rapidly. After reaching the current highest temperature, the powerful low-temperature superconducting magnetic field seems to firmly bind the high-temperature plasma.

However, Xu Guosheng and others in the control room stared at the instrument data with serious expressions.

At the 41st second, the system detected a large amount of turbulence.

In an instant, the three programs that assisted the control system activated the co-controller based on the database parameters. The sudden change of the binding magnetic field caused the turbulence in the plasma to be disturbed and collapsed in an instant.

At the 57th second, turbulence appeared on a large scale again, and the collaborative control system intervened again.

The two sides were like tug-of-war, with irregular turbulence and magnetic field assisting the control system, and they were in unyielding confrontation with each other.

Second 156.

Second 244.

...

Academician Li Jiangang, Xu Guosheng and others in the control room stared at the time on the instrument in amazement. The time beats in seconds, as if fists were hitting their hearts.

This situation really made the researchers present doubt their lives.

After all, they worked hard for decades to increase the continuous operation time of high-temperature plasma to 55 seedlings.

And the current running time has exceeded five minutes.

In the end, the inner layer of high-temperature resistant materials reached the critical point, and in order to avoid accidents, the experiment was stopped.

The final run time is frozen at 2467 seconds, exceeding 41 minutes.

"Huh... my god!" Academician Li sat down and took a breath, calmed down his pounding heart, and then joked: "I am so excited when I get old."

Xu Guosheng was excited and his tone trembled slightly: "This assisted control system is so powerful. I seem to see the controllable nuclear fusion right in front of me. It is worthy of being Mr. Huang."

"It's okay!" Huang Xiuyuan smiled. He didn't expect that the running time would exceed his expectations.

Only then did he realize that this assisting control system, although very rough, was not the final version.

However, when research started in the future, the plasma temperature of the Tokamak device was as high as 510 million degrees Celsius.

The current Oriental Superring, both in terms of temperature and plasma density, are one order of magnitude lower.
Chapter completed!
