This laboratory is under the MPI learned plasma physics research institute industry, but the research of this global nature, not only definitely a plasma physics research institute unit is doing. 这座实验室是马普学会等离子体物理研究所旗下的“产业”,不过这种全球性质的研究,肯定不只是等离子体物理研究所一家单位在做。 Lu Zhou has read the list of cooperation research institution, the light is the names of these research institutions then writes all over one page of a4 papers sufficiently. If the signature principle of here paper with is the same, so long as participates to study everyone to have the share, only feared that the paper the first several pages of papers must leap to write the signature. 陆舟看过合作研究单位的名单,光是那些研究单位的名字便足以写满一页a4纸。如果这里论文的署名原则和一样,只要参与研究人人有份的话,只怕论文的头几页纸都得腾出来写署名。 However, compares this huge cooperation study group, as by Stellarator of object of study, was actually appeared exquisitely many. 不过,相比起这个庞大的合作研究团体来说,作为被研究对象的仿星器,却显得“小巧”许多。 Is following the footsteps of Professor Crepeaux, Lu Zhou and Professor Klitzing two people arrived at indoor the anti-radiation isolation, finally saw the spiral stone 7-x complete picture. 跟随着克雷伯教授的脚步,陆舟和克利青教授两人来到了防辐射隔离室内,终于见到了螺旋石7-x的全貌。 Is situated in the center of anti-radiation insulated chamber peacefully, about 3.5 meters in height and about 16 meters in width Stellarator, seem like «Star War» smuggle the Millennium Falcon of freighter captain Thoreau. 安静地坐落在防辐射隔离室的中央,高约3.5米、宽约16米的仿星器,看上去就像是《星球大战》中走私货船船长汉・索罗的“千年隼”号。 But just experienced it of war, at this moment is anchoring in Singapore and Hong Kong, can only patch on it by the technical personnel. 只不过刚刚经历一场大战的它,此刻正停靠在“星港”中,只能由着技术人员在它身上修修补补。 Approached, Lu Zhou can see clearly, equipment of various sizes densely covered in surface of installment, the innumerable electric cables spread from the equipment to each direction, seemingly pesters chaotically together. 走近了过去,陆舟可以清晰地看见,各种尺寸的设备密布在装置的表面,无数电缆从装备上蔓延到各个方向,看似杂乱无章地纠缠在一起。 This gadget...... construction cost how much money?” “这玩意儿……造价多少钱?” It is said over 1 billion euros.” Looks at this equipment, stands in Lu Zhou nearby Professor Klitzing, somewhat envied sighed with emotion one, „, if the research cost one and will be counted, perhaps was the astronomical figures.” “据说超过十亿欧元。”看着这台装置,站在陆舟旁边的克利青教授,有些羡慕地感慨了一句,“如果将研发成本一并算上,恐怕是个天文数字。” The funds of plasma physics research institute, made the peers who did the physics envy especially. 等离子体物理研究所的经费,尤其令搞物理的同行们羡慕。 Obviously similarly is the MPI learned, obviously similarly is the institute of physics, but the funds of coherence physics research institute are less than on a big truncation them. 明明同样是马普学会,明明同样是物理研究所,但凝聚态物理研究所的经费却比他们少上一大截。 I envy to turn over to envy, Klitzing also understands this situation. 我羡慕归羡慕,克利青也理解这种情况。 After all cooperation R & D program of this multi- country participation, investment is not only the German government, all countries in the world in puts up the cash toward inside. 毕竟这种多国参与的合作研发项目,出资的不仅仅是德国政府,世界各国都在往里面砸钱。 Is so expensive?” “这么贵吗?” Lu Zhou pounded being flabbergasted. 陆舟砸了咂舌。 Some of his inflation are also thinking must do one to study, but looking back now, does Super Computer more realistic...... 原本他还有些膨胀地想着要不要搞一台过来研究研究,但现在看来,还是搞台超算更现实一点…… Ok, leave alone how much money, the budget not the matter that was we need to worry about,” patted the shoulder of Lu Zhou, Professor Crepeaux said with a smile, final debugging has been completed, immediately must start to test, now we observation room.” “好了,别管多少钱了,预算不是我们需要去操心的事情,”拍了拍陆舟的肩膀,克雷伯教授笑着说道,“最后的调试已经完成,马上要开始实验了,现在我们去观测室。” ...... …… Different with the experience at work, the hadron collider from beginning to end is the operation in hundred meters deep underground, only if there is engineer of professional qualification card, otherwise is unable the access duct. 和在工作时的经历不同,强子对撞机自始至终都是运行在百米深的地下,除非持有专业资格证的工程师,否则根本无法进入管道内部。 Presents in front of theory Physics, is only the data on screen, as well as after further image of processing. 呈现在理论物理学家们面前的,只是屏幕上的数据,以及经过进一步处理的图像而已。 But now, presents in front of Lu Zhou, besides the detector of connection each spot on Stellarator, he even can through a thing that is similar to the camera, the naked eye observes the orbital internal condition. 而现在,呈现在陆舟面前的,除了连接在仿星器上各个部位的探测器之外,他甚至能通过一个类似于摄像头的东西,肉眼观测到轨道内部的状况。 Indoor the observation, all staff are ready in full battle array. 观测室内,所有工作人员严阵以待。 Orbital seal test is normal!” “轨道密封性检测正常!” Backfill controlled atmosphere!” “充填保护气体!” Controlled atmosphere fills, starts the pressure measurement procedure/program!” “保护气体充填完毕,开始测压程序!” „......” “……” Is the superconduction critical temperature, the electric circuit can finish sufficiently!” “达到超导临界温度,电路充能完毕!” Magnetic field operation confirmation is normal!” “磁场运行状况确认正常!” After listening to various study teams reports, Professor Crepeaux issues the experiment to start the order immediately. 听完了各研究组的汇报之后,克雷伯教授立刻下达了实验启动地命令。 Ignition!” “点火!” The magnet electric current achieves the 15 ka instance, the thyristor split-second-selection shuts off, the magnet current transfer to the first level of consuming energy resistance, has the 2400 v voltage, making gas in the vacuum chamber be penetrated, thus produces the plasma. 磁体电流达到15ka的瞬间,晶闸管快速开关关断,磁体电流转移至第一级耗能电阻上,产生2400v电压,使真空室中的气体被击穿,从而产生等离子体。 Lu Zhou sees through the screen, light red membranous material, formed a ring of distortion in the circular orbit of distortion. 陆舟通过屏幕看见,一层淡红色的膜状物质,在扭曲的环形轨道中结成了一条扭曲的圆环。 Made him be what was surprised, this scene was very beautiful. 令他感到意外的是,这幅景象还挺美的。 „...... The temperatures of these plasmas after reaching the peak value will break through over a hundred million degrees, is almost equivalent to the interior of star. No one material can prevent this scalding hot energy, even if looked everywhere the Solar System is not impossible to have.” Similarly stands in front of the screen looks, Professor Klitzing said in side in a soft voice. “……这些等离子体的温度在达到峰值之后将突破上亿度,几乎相当于恒星的内部。没有任何一种材料能阻挡这灼热的能量,即便找遍了太阳系也不可能有。”同样站在屏幕前看着,克利青教授在旁边轻声说道。 Lu Zhou spoke thoughtlessly to ask: How that does Stellarator achieve?” 陆舟随口问道:“那仿星器是如何做到的?” „The magnetic field that dependence twists,” Professor Klitzing solves saying that we use the magnetic field to restrain them, fetters them in the limited space, making them be far away from the orbital inner wall. However even so, it still could not insist too for a long time......” “依靠扭曲的磁场,”克利青教授解说道,“我们用磁场来约束它们,将它们束缚在有限的空间内,让他们远离轨道内壁。不过即便如此,它依然坚持不了太久……” Two people are speaking, the experiment had entered the most crucial time. 两人正说话间,实验已经进入了最关键的时刻。 With second-level consuming energy resistance, the switch of thyristor closed, the voltage dropped 1000 v, at the same time the current rise to the peak value, in the entire track was filled up by the scalding hot ray suddenly, even if is away from screen Lu Zhou also to feel somewhat dazzlingly. 随着二级耗能电阻,晶闸管的开关闭合,电压下降到了1000v,与此同时电流上升至峰值,整个轨道内骤然被灼热的光芒填满,哪怕是隔着屏幕陆舟也感觉到了有些刺眼。 However, this ray has not continued to be very long. 不过,这光芒并没有持续很久。 Does not arrive the short six seconds, a that ray loosen, is similar to the pinched out flame suddenly is common, vanished in the screen. 不到短短的六秒钟,那光芒骤然一松,就如同被掐灭的火苗一般,消失在了屏幕中。 Stellarator in revolution stops gradually, indoor observation actually like boiling water of boiling, bustled about rapidly. 运转中的仿星器渐渐停下,观测室内却是像沸腾的开水一样,迅速忙碌了起来。 Stands from the position of two people not far away, Professor Crepeaux to observing indoor researchers ordered: Immediately collects the data, the tester condition, the movement is quick!” 站在距离两人不远处的位置,克雷伯教授向观测室内的研究人员下令道:“立刻收集数据,检查设备状况,动作要快!” Meanwhile, the front door of anti-radiation insulated chamber opened, puts on the staff of exposure suit to take various types of tools to enter indoor the isolation rapidly, started to inspect the condition of track from the physical level. 与此同时,防辐射隔离室的大门打开,穿着防辐射服的工作人员拿着各种工具迅速走进了隔离室内,开始从物理层面检查轨道的状况。 Looks to take off Professor Crepeaux of safety helmet, Lu Zhou gawked slightly under. 看着摘下安全帽的克雷伯教授,陆舟微微愣了下。 „Did this finish?” “这就结束了?” Right, finished,” threw on the safety helmet the table, walked Professor Crepeaux who to say from side with a smile, time that now it discharges one time only then several seconds, longest I remember that time probably was 6 seconds, shortest time, only had several picoseconds.” “没错,结束了,”将安全帽丢到了桌子上,从旁边走过来的克雷伯教授笑着说道,“现在它一次放电的时间只有几秒钟,最长一次我记得大概是六秒,最短的时候,只有几皮秒。” A Lu Zhou face speechless expression. 陆舟一脸无语的表情。 „...... I also think that its performance will be more astonishing.” “……我还以为它的表现会更惊人一点。” Professor Crepeaux grins to smile: Theoretically its discharge time can also do is longer, but the divertor target plate has not installed now, the discharge time is too long may cause the high heat load to harm the material of first wall. Waits to cross again two years, the water cooling divertor installment is completed, can try 30 minutes of impulsive discharges.” 克雷伯教授咧嘴笑了笑:“理论上它放电时间还可以做得更长,但现在偏滤器靶板还没有安装好,放电时间过长可能会导致过高的热负荷损害第一壁的材料。等再过个两年,水冷偏滤器安装完成,就能尝试30分钟的脉冲放电了。” Here discharge time refers to a electric discharge being able to maintain the main field configuration the time, is so-called pulse time that one time discharges. 这里的放电时间指的是一次放电中能维持基本磁场位形的时间,也就是所谓的一次放电的脉冲时间。 30 minutes are spiral stone 7-x in the goal at the beginning of the design setting. 30分钟是螺旋石7-x在设计之初定下的目标。 If really can achieve, will be without doubt huge regarding the influence of entire nuclear fusion project, will affect international community's choice about the nuclear fusion project main technique route. 如果真能做到的话,对于整个核聚变工程的影响无疑将是巨大的,甚至将影响国际社会关于核聚变工程主流技术路线的选择。 After all now the choice of mainstream is the Tokamak device, but the Tokamak device actually fell into the bottleneck in the discharge time. 毕竟现在主流的选择是托卡马克装置,但托卡马克装置在放电时间上却是陷入了瓶颈。 At present longest electric discharge record maintains is being China east 102 seconds, this almost symbolizes that Tokamak device technological line in discharge time on ceiling, wants to raise one inch this ceiling, must pay the expensive price. 目前最长放电记录的保持着是华国的“east”的102秒,这几乎标志着托卡马克装置这条技术路线在“放电时间”上的天花板,想要将这个天花板抬高一寸,都必须付出昂贵的代价。 Looks at this equipment, on the face of Lu Zhou appeared expression looking pensive. 看着这台装置,陆舟的脸上浮现了若有所思的表情。 Suddenly, in his mind emitted an indulgent thought. 忽然间,他的脑海里冒出了一个异想天开的念头。 If makes the system give the magnetic confinement nuclear fusion technology pricing, a technically mature Stellarator blueprint, how many General points can need?- 如果让系统来给磁约束核聚变技术定价的话,一台技术成熟的仿星器图纸,得需要多少积分?- ( Today's getting out of bed caught cold to select, tomorrow I will erupt as far as possible, cannot get down in such salt fish. In brief, first set up flag to say again......) (今天起床感冒好点了,明天我尽量爆发一下吧,不能在这样咸鱼下去了。总之,先立个flag再说……)
