The control room of the northern base!
"Chief Engineer Jiang, the laser ignition button circuit has been repaired!”
Jiang Fan said excitedly," Are there any other problems with the laser ignition system?”
"The test is completely normal. There's no problem. You can start the experiment at any time!”
"Good!"
Jiang Fan let out a sigh of relief and then sat down in front of the main control panel.
"Report to the magnetic ring system?"
"The magnetic ring system has reached level nine power. The data is normal!”
"External power supply?"
"The data is normal!"
“……”
"Commander Zhou, all the data is normal. You can start the fire at any time!”
Zhou Huaide was so excited that his hands were trembling. He immediately turned on the long-distance communication system!
"Chief, the Tokamak device is back to normal now. We can start the ignition experiment at any time!”
The Bureau Chief was currently discussing the solar energy research and development project with Professor Li when he heard Zhou Huaide's remote report.
He lowered his eyes to look at the time. It had been three minutes since he told Zhou Huaide!
"Little Zhou, I'll give you another chance to ignite the fire. If you fail this time, the northern base will stop all research tomorrow! All researchers will be transferred to other projects!”
"Alright, I promise you!" Zhou Huaide said firmly.
"Bureau Chief, if our nuclear fusion is stable for 100 seconds, you have to transfer all the original researchers back and give us 10 billion in funding!”
"10 billion?"
When the examiner beside the Bureau Chief heard Zhou Huaide's words, he immediately cried out in shock!
Last year, the country had allocated 30 billion yuan for Basic scientific research projects, and Zhou Huaide had asked for 10 billion yuan, which was 33% of the total.
This meant that the other projects had to cut down on their expenses before they could gather enough money for him.
Professor Li and his team were even more shocked. The total budget of their entire project was only 4 billion.
Compared to Zhou Huaide's controllable nuclear fusion project, their funding paled in comparison!
The Bureau Chief calmly nodded in agreement!
This was because he believed that Zhou Huaide's failure rate was 100%.
Everyone saw that the Bureau Chief was so calm and instantly felt relieved. Although 10 billion was not a small sum, the key was that they had to have the ability to take it away.
"Chief Commander Zhou, you're really too arrogant! Haha…"
"The prerequisite is that the nuclear fusion is stable for 100 seconds! I don't believe that he can figure it out unless the sun rises from the west!”
"Haha…If he can do it in 100 seconds, we're willing to give up on this solar project!”
Professor Li knew that their solar energy project was also to solve the energy problem, but converting solar energy was a low-power energy source! It would not be of much help to future technology!
However, controllable nuclear fusion was different. It could produce a powerful burst of energy. The output power of pulsed fusion exceeded 16 megavolts. Such a powerful power could easily propel an aircraft carrier that weighed hundreds of thousands of tons!
If the research was successful, it would definitely be a historical turning point, just like the discovery of oil, coal, and gas energy. Humans directly entered the modern industrial society through agriculture.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that once controllable nuclear fusion was successfully developed, the entire human society would undergo a huge change. It would go from a modern society to an ultra-modern society in the future!
However, this could only happen after controllable nuclear fusion research was successful.
Professor Li believed that controllable nuclear fusion would take at least 80 years or more to succeed!
Therefore, they did not have any hope for Zhou Huaide's ignition experiment.
Everyone was talking and laughing as they looked at the screen. They would even tease Zhou Huaide from time to time!
Zhou Huaide, who was in the control room, took another deep breath and looked at Jiang Fan. Their eyes were filled with determination.
"Start the ignition!"
After receiving Zhou Huaide's order, Jiang Fan sat upright and stared at the various data on the main control panel with a serious expression! After realizing that there was no problem, he shouted again!
" Laser ignition ready!"
“3”
“2”
“1”
"Light the fire!"
The researcher controlling the laser ignition switch slammed his hand down heavily!
Everyone held their breaths and stared at the Tokamak device on the screen without blinking!
Suddenly, a white light burst out from the Tokamak device, illuminating the entire research lab!
The brightness increased rapidly and soon reached the blinding level of the sun!
Everyone in the control room clenched their fists and stared at the nuclear fusion reaction in the Tokamak device.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Everyone started to get excited. Some researchers began to pull their colleagues beside them and shook them excitedly as they stammered!
"3 seconds, 3 seconds, it has stabilized for 3 seconds! That was great! The nuclear fusion we developed can actually stabilize for three seconds, haha…"
"A time that has never been reached before! Great, we can finally control nuclear fusion! Haha…"
"Commander Zhou, look, look, it's stable, it's stable!”
“……”
Everyone was dancing with excitement. For the first time in ten years, they had controlled nuclear fusion. Although it only lasted for a few seconds, it was already a historic technological breakthrough for them!
They all knew that as long as they could control nuclear fusion, even if it was only for a few seconds, it would point them in the right direction. In the future, as long as they worked hard in this direction, it would definitely be the right thing to do.
Moreover, by obtaining stable data, they could use the data of success to improve on the mistakes of failure later!
They believed that one day, they would be able to develop controllable nuclear fusion!
Today was the turning point of their base's history!
Jiang Fan, who was sitting in front of the main control panel, didn't cheer. He wanted the controllable nuclear fusion to be stable for 100 seconds. Now, it was only a few seconds.
This was because he knew that nuclear fusion was easier to control in the early stages. The higher the temperature, the higher the temperature. It was a test for all the materials used in the Tokamak.
Zhou Huaide stood beside Jiang Fan, suppressing the excitement and excitement in his heart.
"Xiao Fan, is there a problem with the data?”
Jiang Fan's expression was serious as he said calmly," There's no problem for now!”
The State Administration of Science and Technology's conference room!
Everyone was discussing the solar energy project when someone suddenly shouted!
" Nuclear fusion is stable!"
The entire conference room instantly fell silent. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the screen.
On the screen, there was a scorching red ball of light inside the Tokamak device! It continued to emit this dazzling light.
"Man-made sun!"
" It's really a man-made sun!"
"How…how is this possible?"
" The nuclear fusion is really stable!"
The Bureau Chief stood up in shock. He rubbed his eyes and confirmed once again that it was a man-made sun, a stable nuclear fusion!
He hurriedly shouted at the technician in charge of the remote video.
"Time?"
"Time?"
"How long has nuclear fusion been stable?”
