Chapter 102 The Experiment Was Successful and the Press Conference Began
“The first critical point is reached, energy output is stable and conversion is normal.
"Now start to increase the output, 200,000 degrees Celsius, 300,000 degrees Celsius... 500,000 degrees Celsius, 1 million degrees Celsius. Now the energy gain factor q value has exceeded 0.500."
"According to the data, the current energy output can be self-sufficient, but the fuel Brownian motion in the vacuum chamber is very intense, and the longitudinal field strength of the D-shaped superconducting longitudinal field magnet is insufficient. It is requested to continue to increase the energy output."
With the continuous changes in major data, researchers in the laboratory at this moment have also begun to continuously report the data they are responsible for.
"Allows increased energy output."
"The data group always pays attention to data changes!"
"Start fine-tuning the energy output."
At this moment, Dr. Otto was looking at the scene in front of him with a calm expression. With his little words and orders, the atmosphere of everyone present could not help but become a little calmer.
"receive."
"The energy output has been increased, and the device is now very stable inside."
"The temperature of the vacuum chamber began to increase again, the energy reached 10 million degrees, and the q value also increased steadily."
Next, although Dr. Otto was behind to control the field, for these researchers, for only ten seconds, they still felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. However, even so, they still reported all the progress diligently. .
"The internal temperature of the device has exceeded 100 million degrees, the energy gain factor q value has exceeded 100, the magnetic field response is stable, and the coil and equipment detection is normal."
"Energy output is stable!"
"We succeeded, we created a miracle!"
When he said this, the researchers present couldn't help shouting loudly, and even cheered at the end. Everyone, regardless of gender, who was close to each other at this moment, all hugged each other. Everyone's face is now full of happy and excited smiles.
"Okay, don't rush to celebrate, continue. According to the current data, it is still possible to continue."
"And if we really want to amplify our original goal, we are still far away."
"Continue to increase the energy output, the magnetic field response continues to increase, the overall horizontal and vertical field coil temperatures are maintained, and the liquid helium cooling system continues to output."
While everyone was celebrating, Dr. Otto on the side frowned, and then said loudly to everyone.
Although it is considered a great success now, since there are no problems with the instrument and data, we must continue and try the theoretical maximum output of controllable nuclear fusion.
After hearing Dr. Otto's serious words, everyone present immediately put away their excitement and began to lower their heads and continue their work.
"Now start increasing energy output!"
"The magnetic field response continues to be normal, and the temperature parameters of the horizontal and vertical field coils are normal."
"The equipment is generally normal!"
"The liquid helium cooling system is continuously outputting and maintaining stability and everything is normal."
"The temperature of the reactor device is currently continuing to increase at a rate of one million degrees per second. The increase process is normal. It is expected that the pressure inside will exceed 100 billion atmospheres."
"700 million degrees...800 million degrees...900 million degrees"
"One billion degrees!!!"
"Report!! The ultra-high vacuum chamber has now reached one billion degrees Celsius, the energy gain factor q has reached 10,000, and the product of plasma density and time has exceeded one quadrillion. The entire device has now entered a stable state."
"Doctor! We really succeeded!!!"
As time passed, in the control room in the middle of the reactor, after seeing the normal data on the control panel, the researchers present roared.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly.
This time, even Dr. Otto, who had always been strict with himself, did not say anything more. Instead, he looked at everyone present with a look of relief, and looked at Killian next to him with eyes that lived up to his trust. .
"Congratulations, you did it."
Looking at the man in front of him, Killian admired sincerely.
In another world, Dr. Otto died just because he wanted solar energy. Unexpectedly, in this time and space, he could complete controllable nuclear fusion energy in disguise without the help of tentacles.
At this moment, Killian couldn't help but want to see the scene when the two Dr. Otto met in the future.
"Thank you, boss, although these are all technologies provided by you."
"But I don't know why, after completing this experiment, I felt like my obsession had dissipated."
After hearing Killian's words, Dr. Otto at this moment spoke to Killian with an extremely relaxed expression.
"The most important thing is your efforts. There is a big difference between what I give you and this technology."
"Unless you tell me that I will give you the dark matter capture technology, you can build me a dark matter engine. In this case, I can think that my technology is very effective."
Looking at Dr. Otto in front of him, Killian smiled and joked.
Before he traveled through time, the world's cutting-edge laboratories were able to capture dark matter, but they could only capture it. Further development and research would not be possible for decades.
The role of dark matter is even greater.
But these are still extremely distant things.
"Hahaha, boss, that's a huge challenge, unless you let me spend a few years studying academic materials on dark matter."
Dr. Otto smiled and replied to Killian's joke.
Not everyone is like Tony Stark, who can spend one night to study someone else's entire academic paper and get a degree.
Normal researchers basically only study in one direction throughout their lives, not to mention that dark matter is a new topic.
If you want him to do this project, he dare not start it without at least a few years of preparation.
Unless the design drawings are completely placed in front of him.
Otherwise, even with the current reverse-inference drawings, he thinks it is not something that can be done in a short time.
...
Nuclear fusion technology is mainly a process in which two lighter atomic nuclei are combined into a heavier atomic nucleus and release energy.
The easiest fusion reaction in nature is the fusion of hydrogen isotopes - deuterium and tritium, which has lasted for 5 billion years on the sun.
This is why in Spider-Man, Dr. Otto calls it the energy of the sun.
Because the principle of the sun is nuclear fusion reaction.
And nuclear fusion reaction mainly relies on hydrogen isotopes. Nuclear fusion does not produce long-term and high-level nuclear radiation that occurs in nuclear fission, does not produce nuclear waste, and of course does not produce greenhouse gases, and basically does not pollute the environment.
People first learned about thermonuclear fusion from the explosion of hydrogen bombs.
So scientists hope to invent a device that can effectively control the process of "hydrogen bomb explosion" and allow energy to be continuously and stably output.
Because nuclear energy itself is the largest energy known to mankind today.
It mainly includes two main forms: fission energy and fusion energy.
Fission energy is the huge energy released by the atoms of heavy metal elements through fission, which has now been commercialized.
It's just that the heavy metal elements such as uranium required for fission are rare on the earth, and conventional fission reactors will produce long-lived and highly radioactive nuclear waste. These factors limit the development of fission energy.
Another form of nuclear energy is fusion energy, which has not yet been commercialized.
Deuterium is abundant in the seawater of the earth, up to 40 trillion tons. If all of it is used for fusion reactions, the energy released will be enough for human use for tens of billions of years, and the reaction product is helium without radioactive pollution.
In addition, since nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures, once a problem occurs in a certain link, the fuel temperature will automatically drop, and the fusion reaction will automatically stop.
This means that the fusion reactor is a subcritical reactor, and there will never be an accident like the Chernobyl Nuclear (nuclear fission) Power Plant in the former Soviet Union. It is safe.
Therefore, fusion energy is an unlimited, clean and safe new energy.
What Kirian and his team are using now is the latter, relying on the current mainstream tokamak device, which belongs to magnetic confinement and mainly uses hydrogen isotopes deuterium-tritium as fusion fuel.
Moreover, the most critical measurement parameter for the realization of controlled nuclear fusion is the output-input ratio Q>1 (self-sustaining stage). To achieve commercial power generation, Q must be greater than 10 (maintaining the balance of payments stage), and to achieve an absolute advantage over the traditional power generation model, the Q value may reach more than 80.
It can be said that the larger the Q value, the higher the energy utilization efficiency. Now, after their experiments, the Q value has reached 10,000.
This means that in the process of energy conversion and output, there is almost no energy loss, and a 100% efficient conversion can be achieved.
If the power supply of the entire laboratory is replaced by a new nuclear fusion reactor, then its daily power generation can even reach 200 million kilowatts per hour, which is equivalent to the same power generation of the entire Three Gorges Power Station.
The main reason for this is that the energy release of nuclear fusion is greater than that of nuclear fission, at least 4 to 8 times that of nuclear fission.
For details, please refer to the comparison between hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs under the same equivalent and volume.
It can be said that from today, Kilian's pioneering technology will no longer worry about energy issues.
Even more energy can produce unlimited controllable nuclear fusion batteries for T-800, and one battery can maintain the functional activities of T-800 for 120 years.
At this moment, Killian seemed to be able to see the shock of the world's people at the press conference that was to be held soon.
…
A few days later, with Killian resting.
On the other side, the press conference of Pioneer Technology was once again opened in front of the public.
But this time, what made the public satisfied was that although they might not be able to go for various reasons, Pioneer Technology had already opened a live broadcast on the company's official website.
And according to Pioneer Technology's external publicity, 100 lucky viewers will be selected in each country and region to give company gifts.
Because of this, the number of people in the company's live broadcast room once exceeded eight figures.
And you have to know that this is still the era when the popularity of smart devices is far from that of everyone.
It can be said that almost all people who can access the Internet and have the conditions to access the Internet came to support it.
According to Lisa's backstage, the proportion of people who have purchased Pioneer Technology smartphones to watch on their phones is more than 70%, and this number is still increasing.
It is expected that by the time they start, it will be able to reach 90%.
At this moment, the flow of people at the Pioneer Technology Company is no less than that on the Internet.
In front of the Pioneer Technology Building, there is a lot of traffic at this moment.
Originally, this is just a science and technology industrial park. In addition to angel investors, most of the people who come here are employees in the park, because it is originally located in a remote area and it takes more than half an hour to drive to the nearest city.
But today, there is an unexpected scene of crowds of people and vehicles.
The last time there was such a flow of people was during the Spring Festival.
With the arrival of twelve o'clock at noon, in front of the main entrance of the Pioneer Technology Building, there are already countless news cars and media from all over the country. Many reporters and hosts are facing the "long guns and short guns" in the crowd, and began to report the content of the scene to the camera.
"Hello, dear audience friends in front of the camera, this is the New York Times, I am your old friend Eliza, and now we are in front of the Pioneer Technology headquarters in Miami, Florida."
"I believe you can see that there are already a sea of people here. In addition to us, there are also reporters from dozens of news media here."
"And today is an extremely special day. That is, the product launch of the new product of Pioneer Technology Co., Ltd., the largest technology company known as the 'black technology company', will start here today."
"You must know that as one of the most influential technology companies today, the development of Pioneer Technology can be said to be quite Low-key, but every time the company launches its products, it attracts the attention of the whole world. "
"Since the company appeared in people's sight, it has held two product launches in a year, and each launch has shocked the world and everyone's eyes. The first time, the personal health assistant Baymax came out, which officially ushered in a new era of medicine for mankind. People can check their health anytime and anywhere, and prevent and eliminate the occurrence of various major diseases. "
"And the second launch, Pioneer Technology's smart phone, I believe that no one who has used it has said anything bad, at least now all the colleagues around the reporter are fans of Pioneer Technology. "
