Chapter 498 "Golden Crow Device" first experiment
February 2023, 1, New Year's Eve!

On this day, all households across the country are preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Except for entertainment venues such as KTV, other places, even shopping malls, are closed to give employees a time to reunite with their families.

The whole family is happy, preparing to watch the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV. Although in the pan-entertainment era, there are more and more entertainment contents and methods, the Spring Festival Gala is still ranked first. There is no program or method that can shake the top position of the Spring Festival Gala. !

And far away in the desert, it was snowing heavily, the snow was flying, and the cold wind from Siberia was howling, the cold was thorough, and the world was icy and snowy.

But the scientific research base is in full swing. Everyone doesn’t even have time to eat dinner on New Year’s Eve. They are in a hurry. The security forces in charge of protecting the base have all entered the combat state, all the radars are turned on, and the satellites in space are adjusted to monitor the entire earth. The six troops have also entered a state of first-level combat readiness, cooperating with the security forces to ensure the safety of the scientific research base.

"Finally check the condition of each component of the device!" Qin Yuanqing gave an order with a serious expression on his face.

Since the 'Golden Crow Device' was fully assembled three months ago, five rounds of inspections have been completed so far, and this is the sixth round of inspections, and it is also the last inspection before the first experiment!
It is of special significance to choose to conduct the first experiment of the "Golden Crow Device" on New Year's Eve. Once it is successfully completed according to the plan, this will be a special Spring Festival gift presented by the "Golden Crow Project" to the people of the whole country, and it also represents the "Golden Crow Project". 'All scientific researchers wish the people of the whole country New Year's greetings!

Up to now, the number of scientific researchers in the entire scientific research base has reached 51000, and the number of scientific researchers participating in the entire "Golden Crow Project" has reached [-]. It involves universities, scientific research institutions and corresponding scientific research personnel, and scientific research work has already started.

For the first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device', Qin Yuanqing paid 100% attention, because once it is successful, it will be a good start for the whole project, which can greatly improve the morale of the scientific research personnel of the whole project, and at the same time, it can also give the superior a stronger confidence , let them see that the birth of controllable nuclear fusion is just around the corner.

Controllable nuclear fusion lasts for half an hour, which means that controllable nuclear fusion has been initially commercialized and can produce corresponding benefits.

To put it bluntly, the controllable nuclear fusion lasts for half an hour. If you are more aggressive, you can directly carry out the construction and application of fusion power plants!
"Commander, after this inspection is completed, is it really necessary to start the first test of the 'Golden Crow Device'?" A white-haired old man said in a deep voice, still full of worries.

According to previous tests related to controllable nuclear fusion, microsecond-level tests were carried out at the beginning to ensure that there were no problems, and then breakthroughs were made again and again to reach the second level.

There has never been a brand-new device like Qin Yuanqing. The first experiment was aimed at 30 minutes. You must know that the record for the duration of controllable nuclear fusion in the world is still at 6 minutes and 30 seconds!
This makes people have no idea how to think about it. Even if the relevant computer simulations have been carried out dozens of times in the past nearly a year, it is still difficult for them to have enough confidence.

A computer simulation is a computer simulation, and reality is reality.

Whether it is a tokamak device, a stellarator, or this 'Golden Crow Device', they are all high-precision devices. If there is a problem with any device, the entire experiment may end in failure.

This means that Huaxia has achieved world-renowned achievements in industrial upgrading and transformation in the past ten years. Otherwise, even the whole country would not be able to create such a device!
"If there is no problem, prepare to turn on the power!" Qin Yuanqing was full of determination. In the past year, he spent most of his time at the scientific research base, and the rest of the time was spent teaching related courses. He even went back to Shuimu six times. And they were just starting the course, but left Shuimu in a hurry without entering the house once.

For the 'Golden Crow Device' born in his hands, Qin Yuanqing is full of confidence, more confident than anyone else.

Five rounds of detailed inspections have been carried out before, and there are no problems. This time, the sixth round of inspections still has no problems. If the experiment still fails, it will be hell!
Although things like "checking" are just a word, in fact, it was already an hour after hundreds of engineers actually completed all the investigation work.

In the underground laboratory and the above-ground studio, all the staff are waiting in line, sticking to their jobs.

Standing next to the computer in the control room, Qin Yuanqing looked down at the giant steel beast surrounded by dense coils through the French windows that were close at hand, and his chest was surging.

"The first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device' is officially started, power on!" Qin Yuanqing gave the order to power on the 'Golden Crow Device' for the first time.

At the same time, Qin Yuanqing pressed the button!
Immediately, the temperature in the reaction chamber continued to rise, gestating the hottest energy in this star system, and the plasma bound in the magnetic field flowed quietly in the reaction chamber like a thin layer of aurora.

When the temperature exceeded [-] million, the light that was more dazzling than the stars was lit up in an instant.

Endless energy gushes out like a tide, liberated from that tiny atomic nucleus.

Witnessing the arrival of this moment, everyone in the control room had excited expressions on their faces, but no one cheered because of this. Everyone abided by their professional ethics and kept paying attention to the corresponding data on the computer. , reporting the data situation like a robot.

Some are just reporters, who recorded every bit of the whole project along the way, as future scientific research documentaries and historical materials.And what is involved here basically has a confidentiality level and a confidentiality period, and the information in it will not be known to ordinary people until it is decrypted.

On this special day today, it is undoubtedly of unique significance to present the Spring Festival gift in this way.

Whether it is a controlled nuclear fusion project, an anti-gravity project, or a far-reaching scientific research project like the 'Double Ring Space Station Project', there is a dedicated team following along, recording every bit of it, as future documentaries or scientific research materials .

Everything that happened was filmed, including in the control room.

The researchers in the control room were like clockwork gears, busy busy.

The 'Golden Crow Device' is different from the 'Tokamak Device' or the stellarator. They are relatively simple, and the experiments are done step by step. goals.

One is to confirm how much T the maximum magnetic field strength of the external field coil can reach, and the other is to ensure that the temperature of the high-density plasma in the reaction chamber can reach 1 million degrees Celsius.

The latter experiment is to continuously test various aspects, including the plasma confinement experiment, to detect how long the device can confine the plasma, and in this case, all aspects of the device, including damage, instrument damage, etc.

It is unimaginable to directly carry out nuclear fusion reaction like the "Golden Crow Device" through countless experiments.

I saw that as the nuclear fusion occurred, the whole device gave out a deafening roar.

Qin Yuanqing smiled when he saw that the ignition was successful. This shows that one of the goals of the first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device' has been achieved, and that this device can be used to restrain nuclear fusion, which is happening inside the device.

"The recovery pump detected tritium! The liquid lithium neutron recovery system is confirmed to be effective!"

The circulating liquid lithium is like the scorching blood in the body of a giant dragon. The reciprocating tritium is mixed with the slowly injected deuterium, and returns to the reaction chamber, where it continues to be ignited.

The staff who reported the situation had a slight tremor in their voices.

Tritium successfully recovered!

This represents the achievement of the second goal among the goals set at the beginning of the first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device'!

Not to mention, even if the subsequent experiments fail, the realization of these two goals alone is already of great value. It represents a major step taken by Huaxia in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, and it also proves that the "Golden Crow Device" is the only one other than Toka. In addition to the Mark device and the stellarator, there is a third device that can theoretically achieve controllable nuclear fusion through magnetic confinement!
Qin Yuanqing also smiled. Whether tritium can be recycled as an intermediate product in the reactor is the key factor for whether controllable nuclear fusion can be commercialized.

Although the specific recovery rate cannot be judged until the end of the experiment, the tritium observed so far proves that the goal set before the experiment has been achieved.

At the same time, the generated huge electric energy is being generated and transported along the already laid grid to the destination.

The monitoring information of each link is being continuously recorded and reported.

Finally, when the experiment time reached 30 minutes, as the button was pressed, the nuclear fusion reaction was stopped, and the temperature inside the device quickly dropped from 1000 million to below [-] million.

The control room and the entire scientific research base erupted in unanimous applause, announcing that the first experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device' had all reached the originally set goals and achieved a complete success.

At the same time, it also represents that Huaxia has reached the world's leading level in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, pushing the record of 6 minutes and 30 seconds to a new height of 30 minutes. This is a firm and powerful step forward for controllable nuclear fusion. This step also represents Huaxia's initial commercialization in the field of controllable nuclear fusion.

At the same time, it also means that they have lived up to the trust of the country and the people, their scientific research has seen the dawn, the dark curtain covering controllable nuclear fusion has receded, the dawn has appeared, and the dawn is coming!
They have reason to believe that within a few years, Huaxia will completely control the controllable nuclear fusion, get rid of the energy crisis, the people of Huaxia will live a happy life, and oil will become less important energy.

　Now the monthly pass is double during the day, and the monthly pass is quadruple from 20:24 to [-]:[-]. If you have a ticket, come on!Thanks to the leader of "Tu Mo Mie Shen Dao" for his continuous support!
