Chapter 318: Entering a New Era
Supreme command, underground base, controllable nuclear fusion test site.
This is not mankind's first controlled nuclear fusion experiment, but it is the most promising experiment to succeed.
It is not an exploratory experiment, but the first experiment of a practical controllable nuclear fusion device that can be put into use directly and skips most of the experimental process.
If it succeeds, humanity will have access to the most efficient energy source in history. If it fails...
If you fail, try again. The reason why controllable nuclear fusion is regarded as the future of mankind is because it is safe, clean, and efficient.
And because of the complete formula and complete blueprints given by Xinghe, the consequences of failure will not be too serious, at least the entire underground base will not be blown up into the sky.
This is the meaning of the Galaxy. It not only allows humans to avoid detours, but also directly provides the fastest shortcut.
"10,9,8...1! Start."
The voice of the commander-in-chief floated in the underground base. As a student, a student who had only been exposed to the freshman level, Luo Xingyu was qualified to wear a white coat, stand behind a huge screen, and watch human beings through remote monitoring.
The first practical experiment of a controllable nuclear fusion device.
The commander-in-chief pressed the button. Li Wen did not stand up, but he could not help but lean forward and subconsciously placed his right hand on the table.
The only voices in the command headquarters were the frontline operators of the controlled nuclear fusion test site.
"The reactor is started, the reactant is heated to the plasma state, and the reactor is normal."
"The temperature reaches a critical value and enters a state of nuclear fusion."
Li Wen swallowed hard. His nervousness was indescribable. It was the tension caused by putting all hope on this incident when a species was facing extinction. It was hope, but if the hope was shattered
, is the most complete despair.
As an in-depth participant, Luo Xingyu should not have participated in this experimental project and was not qualified to participate, but he has a good boyfriend.
So Luo Xingyu was able to come to this headquarters with a group of highly respected scientists, and watch the first experiment of controllable nuclear fusion with Li Wen and others.
"The experiment was successful! We succeeded!"
A roar suddenly exploded in the quiet headquarters. It was the roar of the experimental commander in ecstasy.
Who says scientists are always reserved and elegant? When they are ecstatic, they may be wilder than anyone else!
Li Wen was the first to jump up. He raised his hands in the air, waved them vigorously, and shouted: "Successful! Successful! Successful! Successful! Successful! Successful! Successful!"
With tears streaming down his face, Li Wen could only repeat this sentence, and then his security guard got scared and ran past the row of tables where Li Wen was sitting and came to Li Wen, blocking Li Wen's sight.
"Chief, don't get too excited..."
Li Wen put down his hand and pushed his guard aside. Then he looked at the reactor on the screen, which was only the size of a car, and said with tears streaming down his face: "It finally succeeded..."
There was thunderous applause in the command room, and an old man who was over seventy years old covered his eyes and cried bitterly, but it was not because of sadness, but because of excessive happiness.
Some people were cheering, some were jumping, some were crying loudly, and some were yelling.
The significance of this experiment is more important than the success of the nuclear bomb experiment, because the Chinese people are more than a thousand years ahead of the current level of mankind. Since the success of this experiment, the Chinese people have held the ticket to the universe and become the absolute masters of this week.
"I announce! Conduct a controllable nuclear fusion synchronous power generation experiment!"
After the commander-in-chief gave the order, the command room quickly became quiet. Even Li Wen, who was so excited that he couldn't control himself, immediately sat back down.
Because today is not just an experiment of controllable nuclear fusion, there is also an equally important experiment.
Nuclear power does not directly convert nuclear energy into electrical energy, but converts nuclear energy into thermal energy, and then converts thermal energy into electrical energy. There is a difference between this.
Nuclear power plants use nuclear reactions to heat water to produce steam, and then the steam drives a turbine generator to generate electricity. In terms of method, nuclear power generation only changes the fuel from a coal furnace to a nuclear reactor.
But it's different now, because Galaxy has given us a brand new technology.
Nuclear energy is directly converted into electrical energy through a heat conversion device, but the conversion medium of steam is missing. In other words, while the controllable nuclear fusion experiment is being carried out, a generator experiment must be carried out at the same time.
It is no longer an inefficient power generation method like a steam turbine generator, but a brand new, efficient power generation method that humans have never thought of before.
The nuclear reaction that humans can directly see is the sun. The sun itself is a huge reactor, so the most intuitive products of nuclear reactions are first light and heat, and then nuclear radiation.
So this brand-new generator converts light and heat directly into electrical energy, eliminating the inefficient and wasteful process of heating water.
The civilization of the gods no longer uses electric energy, but an energy model that humans have not yet understood. However, because humans are now very mature in using electric energy, almost all human industrial products are related to electricity, so Xinghe is relatively backward.
, but it is more suitable for the current level of human science and technology and can be quickly put into practical use.
Sometimes the most advanced is not necessarily the most suitable. If human beings want to reach the technological level of gods, they must first replace all electrical appliances with "electrical" appliances that can use another type of energy.
Another type of energy that is essentially different from electrical energy, but works in completely different ways.
But now, the products of controllable nuclear fusion will still be converted into electrical energy.
"The new generator is operating normally and the experiment was successful!"
The commander-in-chief shouted good news again, but this time he did not pause, but directly announced the third simultaneous experiment with controllable nuclear fusion.
"I announce that the wireless power transmission experiment has started and the power is connected to the wireless transmission module."
After electricity is generated, it must have a place to go, so power generation and power consumption should be balanced. The consequences of excess power supply are far more serious than the consequences of insufficient power supply. This is the current power generation and power consumption model of mankind.
But this is not the case with the new model. The new model will turn electric energy into microwaves, that is, use microwave wireless power transmission to send electricity.
Things will fall into place and things will fall into place naturally.
After the success of controllable nuclear fusion, everything becomes simpler.
In just ten seconds, the commander-in-chief loudly said: "The wireless power transmission conversion rate... is 94%. I declare that the wireless power transmission experiment is successful!"
The command center once again fell into a sea of joy, because the loss between conversions was only 6%. This efficiency was simply too high and scary.
But how all of this is achieved, no one knows except Xinghe and a very few scientists, because this is the top secret among top secrets.
Li Wen finally picked up the microphone in front of him and said in a trembling voice: "What is the power of Unit 1?"
"The power of the No. 1 reactor is adjustable. It is currently operating at the lowest power. The capacity of a single machine is one million kilowatt hours. The maximum power operation can reach more than 36 million kilowatts. The No. 1 reactor will continue to operate until the power grid is connected.
Replace the existing generator set to supply the entire base’s electricity consumption!”
The commander-in-chief's voice was also trembling. After answering Li Wen's question, he said with a cry: "Chief, we have entered a new era!"
Li Wen put down the phone and remained silent for a long time. It wasn't until the person next to him leaned over to ask in a low voice that Li Wen took a deep breath and then stood up.
"Everyone, our experiment was successful, but this is only the first step. Next, we still have a lot of things to do. We must race against time to complete everything. Please everyone."
The scientists stood up, applauded, and then left one by one, because everyone knew that the next thing would be left to the military.
The scientists all left, and after the scientists left, Li Wen couldn't wait to turn around, and then he said with determination: "Everyone knows that the Orochi put a large number of alien creatures in Jicheng, and according to
According to the information sent back by the Spark Team, these alien creatures were targeted at our underground base."
After finishing speaking, Li Wen waved his hands heavily, and then he whispered: "Today's experiment was very successful, but we need time, so I decided..."
Li Wen slammed his hand on the table, and then said in an extremely depressed tone: "Use a nuclear bomb!"
Just when Li Wen slapped the table and said about using nuclear bombs, Luo Xingyu had already ran to Xiang Weiguo.
Luo Xingyu is only a student, but her confidentiality level is terrifyingly high, so she is always accompanied by two rare female guards, or bodyguards.
Fortunately, Xiang Weiguo's confidentiality level is equally scary.
Luo Xingyu grabbed Xiang Weiguo's arm, and then she whispered: "Uncle Xiang! The experiment was successful, all three experiments were successful!"
Xiang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, then he exhaled softly, smiled, nodded to Luo Xingyu, and whispered: "Very good, very good..."
Luo Xingyu continued in a low voice: "Uncle Xiang, I decided to apply to participate in the power module experiment."
Xiang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and then he whispered: "You? What you should do is study, study hard, not..."
"Uncle Xiang!"
Luo Xingyu called Uncle Xiang loudly, and then she said firmly: "I am suitable for the power module experiment. I must be selected. I want to do something, but now I am only a college freshman. If I want
As a scientist, I won’t be able to accomplish anything in another ten years, so I want to participate in the power module experiment! Today the energy part is solved, so the power module experiment will be carried out soon, and I don’t want to miss this opportunity!”
Xiang Weiguo breathed out heavily, then nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, now that you have decided, then sign up. I also want to tell you quietly that Jia Weidong was selected. I recommended it. Now Jia Weidong is already in
The base is participating in the experiment."
Luo Xingyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Did you recommend him? He was still selected? Why? How could he pass the exam?"
Xiang Weiguo smiled and said: "Because he has four hounds, with this one he can be selected to participate in the experiment. I can't tell you much more unless you can also be selected, so I hope you can successfully join forces with Jia Weidong,
Chapter completed!
