Although inspection this matter, on the mouth said on a few words, but in fact, when all engineers of star team complete all investigation work truly, is three days later. 虽然“检查”这种事情,嘴上说起来就一句话,但事实上,等到star项目组的全体工程师真正完成所有的排查工作,已经是三天后了。 Inserts the mountain massif in the laboratory, the crew of star team are similar to three days ago such, is ready in full battle array defends on the respective post. 嵌入山体的实验室中,star项目组的全体工作人员如同三天前那样,严阵以待地守在各自的岗位上。 Stands by controlling indoor computer, Lu Zhou by the close window, overlooks that by the steel giant beast that the dense and numerous coils surround, in the chest is being choked up with emotions. 站在控制室内的电脑旁边,陆舟透过近在咫尺的落地窗,俯瞰着那台被密密麻麻的线圈所包围的钢铁巨兽,胸中心潮澎湃不已。 Quick, this has a new lease of life the star installment, will conduct its first operation to test. 很快,这台重获新生的star装置,将进行它的第一次运行实验。 For this moment, he had waited for a half year...... 为了这一刻,他已经足足等待了半年…… Arrived at Lu Zhou side, hold Xianfu the deep breath the one breath, restrained the excitement in sound saying: Water cooling divertor operates...... us normally, can start to test.” 走到了陆舟的旁边,盛宪富深呼吸了一口气,克制着声音中的激动说道:“水冷偏滤器运行正常……我们,可以开始实验了。” Hears hold Xianfu the report, Lu Zhou nods. 听到盛宪富的报告,陆舟点了点头。 That starts.” “那就开始吧。” hold Xianfu straightened up the wainscot, competitive say/way. 盛宪富挺直了腰板,干劲十足道。 Yes!” “是!” The first experiment cannot toss about, one does not involve the ignition, two will not use the hydrogen the isotope. 第一次实验不会太折腾,一不涉及点火,二不会用到氢的同位素。 As for goal of experiment, is very simple, only has two. 至于实验的目标,也很简单,只有两个。 One is to confirm the outfield coil maximum magnetic field strength can break through the calculation theory value the 50 t boundary, another is to then guarantee to reflect that indoor high density plasma the temperature can be hundred million degrees Celsius. 一个是确认外场线圈最大磁场强度能够突破计算理论值的50t的界限,另一个便是确保反映室内高密度等离子体的温度能够达到亿摄氏度。 As for maintaining time, does not need too for a long time, one second of then foot. 至于维持时间,也无需太久,一秒便足矣。 Issuance of order that as starts to test, the staff in laboratory bustle about immediately. 随着开始实验的命令下达,实验室内的工作人员立刻忙碌了起来。 The switch of liquid helium valve opens, the sg- wire such as expected such, was the superconduction transition temperature rapidly. 液氦阀门的开关打开,sg-导线如预期中的那样,迅速达到了超导转变温度。 With the intermittent thorn grips the eardrum buzz cry, starts gradually to enlarge through the electric current of outfield superconducting coil, approaches toward the superconduction critical electric current of sg- wire unceasingly. 伴随着阵阵刺扎耳膜的嗡鸣,通过外场超导线圈的电流开始逐渐放大,不断向着sg-导线的超导临界电流逼近。 Looks that feeds back the magnetic field strength value on computer screen increases unceasingly, and finally stopped in 5.4 t In the maximum value, the corners of the mouth of Lu Zhou raised a happy expression. 看着反馈在电脑屏幕上的磁场强度数值不断攀升,并且最终停在了【5.4t】的极大值上,陆舟的嘴角扬起了一丝笑意。 5.4 t! 5.4t! Spiral stone 7-x. 螺旋石7-x。 Fetters the magnetic field strength of plasma is the key of solution controllable nuclear fusion issue, can realize the 50 t above magnetic confinement in the project, they have completed this puzzle without a doubt. 束缚等离子体的磁场强度是解决可控核聚变问题的关键,能够在工程上实现50t以上的磁约束,他们毫无疑问已经完成了这块拼图。 The first experiment goal, achieves smoothly! 第一个实验目标,顺利达成! Also saw the joyful look from hold Xianfu the face, Lu Zhou nodded to him. 从盛宪富的脸上同样看到了喜悦的神色,陆舟向他点了点头。 Starts the next experiment link!” “开始下一个实验环节!” hold Xianfu says immediately: Understood!” 盛宪富立刻道:“明白!” The winding in the coil on streamline track, besides these by the blue insulation holder fixed superconducting coil of irregular shape outside, probably 20% non- superconductivity outfield coils, was fixed under the red insulation holder, is mainly used in the magnetic field form to Stellarator to fine-tune. 缠绕在流线型的轨道上的线圈中,除了那些被不规则形状的蓝色绝缘支架固定的超导线圈之外,还有大概20%的非超导外场线圈,被固定在红色的绝缘支架之下,主要是用来对仿星器内磁场形态进行微调。 As the experiment is in the next stage, the electric current in blue coil starts to drop, but in the electric current with it relative red coil is continue increase, mediated the expected shape the Stellarator internal magnetic field shape. 随着实验进入下一个阶段,蓝色线圈内的电流开始下降,而与之相对的红色线圈中的电流则在持续攀升着,将仿星器内部的磁场形状调解成了预期中的形态。 Looks the parameter that in the computer screen beats unceasingly, the Lu Zhou sinking sound orders: Pours into the helium!” 看着电脑屏幕中不断跳动的参数,陆舟沉声下令道:“注入氦气!” Yes!” “是!” With issuing of this order, connects in the Stellarator internal drive pipe, poured into the g helium to the Stellarator cavity. 随着这声命令的下达,连接在仿星器内部的导管,向仿星器的腔内注入了g的氦气。 At first poured into helium, then disseminated quickly in the housing of vacuum, thin to the extreme. 起初被注入的氦气,很快便弥散在了真空的腔体内,稀薄到了极点。 However with the start of microwave heating installment, temperature of ignition in cavity continues to rise, the plasma gradually takes shape, and was fettered its magnetic field to extrude unceasingly, finally in the channel in that streamline cavity unfolded a pale blue thin film, and by naked eye invisible frequency tremble slightly. 然而随着微波加热装置的启动,腔内的温度开始持续升高,等离子体逐渐成型,并且被束缚着它的磁场不断挤压着,最终在那流线型的腔内通道中铺开了一层淡蓝色的薄膜,并且以肉眼不可视的频率轻微颤动着。 Work on the respective post, the engineer or the researcher, everyone did not pinch tightly the fist voluntarily. 工作在各自的岗位上,无论是工程师还是研究员,所有人都不自觉地捏紧了拳头。 At this moment, crawls in their front star Stellarator, tears and bites the space monster to be the same like one, is fermenting on this star the most terrifying energy...... 此时此刻,匍匐在他们面前的star仿星器,就如同一只撕咬着空间怪兽一样,正酝酿着这个星球上最恐怖的能量…… In fact also truly so, even the core, is about 6800 degrees. 事实上也确实如此,就算是地核,也不过六千八百度而已。 But at this moment, flows the helium in Stellarator track, the temperature actually broke over a hundred million boundaries. 而此时此刻,流淌在仿星器轨道内的氦气,温度却是突破了上亿的界限。 Although its quality, only then milligram...... 虽然它的质量只有毫克…… This short one second, is so long like a century. 这短短的一秒钟,却是如同一个世纪那么长。 Closely pinched the fist, on hold Xianfu the face writes all over the exciting look, the mouth was reading unceasingly. 紧紧地捏着拳头,盛宪富的脸上写满了兴奋的神色,嘴里不断地念着。 We succeeded, we succeeded!” “我们成功了,我们成功了!” Hears his was talking over unceasingly the sound, on the face of Lu Zhou also appeared a smiling face. 听到了他那不断念叨着的声音,陆舟的脸上也浮现了一丝笑容。 Yes, we succeeded!” “是啊,我们成功了!” Although is only the gradual achievement, but this achievement is still gratifying. 虽然只是阶段性的成果,但这个成果依然是喜人的。 The next topic, then solves the damage of plasma radiation to first wall material. 下一个课题,便是解决等离子体辐照对第一壁材料的损伤了。 Regarding fusion reactor, structure and Functional Materials, because the accumulation of the highly concentrated irradiation defect and nuclear reaction product can have serious swelling and embrittlement, thus causes the core part and overall drop of connecting structure material characteristics. 对于聚变堆而言,结构和功能材料由于高浓度辐照缺陷和核反应产物的积累会发生严重的肿胀和脆化,从而导致核心部件以及连接结构材料性能的整体下降。 Makes a very vivid analogy is, the high-velocity neutron hits the atom that on the first wall was closely packed like the ping-pong, but was struck the atom that runs not to vanish, but runs up to the material other place. Eventually causes the atom unceasingly shifts toward the surface from the center, material on slowly happened like the hollow bubble swelling. 做个很形象的比喻就是,高速运动的中子像台球一样击中了第一壁上紧密排列的原子,但被击跑的原子并不会消失,而是跑到材料中别的地方去。最终导致原子不断的从中心往表面转移,材料就慢慢的像空心泡沫一样发生肿胀。 At present, on the academic circle had not found an appropriate method to solve this problem. 目前而言,学术界上还没有找到一个合适的方法来解决这个问题。 About this topic, Lu Zhou does not dare saying that the full assurance, his had some mentalities at heart actually faintly. 关于这个课题,陆舟也不敢说有十足的把握,不过他的心里倒是隐隐有了些思路。 Naturally, besides essential inner wall material, important control system, is the controllable nuclear fusion device brain. 当然,除了关键的内壁材料之外,还有至关重要的控制系统,也就是可控核聚变装置的“大脑”。 However before comparing, trouble on material science, to is the relative good solution to be many in this aspect. 不过相比起前材料学上的麻烦而言,在这方面到是相对的好解决不少。 After all Super Computer this thing, so long as rich can solve. 毕竟超算这东西,只要有钱就能解决。 Just, seemed like must want the funds...... 只不过,看来似乎又得要点经费了…… Microwave heating installment closure. 微波加热装置关闭。 The electric current of superconducting coil gradually is weaken. 超导线圈的电流逐渐减弱。 Temperature of ignition cooling of plasma...... 等离子体的温度开始冷却…… As this steel giant beast stopped its low roar, the entire experiment marked a period finally completely. 随着这台“钢铁巨兽”停止了它的低吼,整个实验总算是圆满地画上了一个句点。 When all these finished, that constrained for a long time cheers, resounds through finally in the laboratory. 当这一切都结束,那压抑了许久的欢呼声,也终于响彻在实验室内。 Many people even excited is moved to tears. 不少人甚至是激动的热泪盈眶。 In order to celebrate this hard-won success, since also to reward with food and drink everyone several months day and night effort, at the suggestion of several young researchers, Lu Zhou announced in everyone's front, in the evening is held the glee feast in Zijinshan Hotel. 为了庆祝这来之不易的成功,也为了犒劳大家数月以来不舍昼夜的努力,在几名年轻研究员的提议下,陆舟在所有人的面前宣布,晚上在紫金山大酒店举行庆功宴。 Naturally, this sum of money is paid by him , there is nothing to do with the funds. 当然了,这笔钱是由他个人出的,与经费无关。 After the experiment ended, the engineer starts to conduct the overhaul and maintenance to the equipment, after Lu Zhou will give on the spot hold Xianfu was responsible, then took off white coat, turned around to leave laboratory of this inserting in mountain massif. 实验结束了之后,现场的工程师开始对设备进行检修和维护,陆舟将现场交给了盛宪富负责之后,便脱掉了身上的白大褂,转身离开了这座嵌入在山体之内的实验室。 When he treads that moment of tunnel portal, a wisp of sunlight sprinkled across the treetop on his face. 当他踏出隧道口的那一刻,一缕阳光穿过树梢洒在了他的脸上。 Is narrowed the eye that outdoor ray punctures, indistinct Lu Zhou as if saw anything. 被室外的光线刺的眯了眯眼睛,隐隐约约中陆舟仿佛看见了什么。 In this absent-minded, that quiet for a long time pale blue dialog box, the omen had not floated from his sight slightly. 就在这恍惚之间,那沉寂已久的淡蓝色对话框,没有丝毫预兆地从他的视域之中浮了出来。 „The light of fusion duty chain 【“聚变之光”任务链】 May choose the branch: 50 t ECR ion source 【可选支线:50t超导磁体】 May choose the branch: The first ignition 【可选支线:第一次点火】 When sees clearly these two dialog boxes the instances, Lu Zhou gawked slightly, immediately on the face appeared a excitement. 当看清楚这两个对话框的瞬间,陆舟微微愣了下,随即脸上浮现了一丝兴奋。 Simultaneously completes two tasks. 同时完成两个任务。 To him, this also is really an unprecedented experience. 对于他而言,这还真是一次前所未有的体验。
