Chapter 546 Xu Chuan: Am I a unit of measurement?(2/2)

After all, the latter was originally established by him based on the data from the tokamak device. Although the stellarator and the tokamak device are both magnetically constrained routes, there are still differences after all.

There is currently no mathematical model for actual operation data modification. Even if the simulation run on a supercomputer is perfect, it is only simulated data. No one knows how far it deviates from the real situation.

Therefore, the first trial run should be done sooner rather than later.

Liang Qu nodded and said: "No problem. In that case, how about scheduling it at ten o'clock tomorrow morning? Two hours in the morning should be enough to conduct a comprehensive test run of Huaxing."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "You can just arrange these things. They are all trivial matters."

On the other side of the phone, Liang Qu's lips moved but stopped talking.

The first operation of China's first stellarator is related to the core of miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion technology. Is this a small matter?

Xu Chuan didn't care about this. In his opinion, this was indeed a trivial matter.

After hanging up the phone, he quickly finished his dinner, went out for a couple of walks to eat, and then returned to the office to continue improving the theory at hand.

If this theory is true and feasible, it will subsequently save a lot of time and engineering effort for the optimization of stellarators, or the manufacturing of miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion reactors.

...

The next day, Xu Chuan rushed to Xinghai Research Institute early in the morning.

The Huaxing fusion device transformed from Helix-7X has completed all preparations and is standing quietly in the core laboratory, waiting for the moment to be restarted.

Standing in the main control room, Xu Chuan looked down at the Huaxing Fusion Device lying quietly on the wide ground through the huge monitoring screen, without much emotion in his heart.

Even if there were problems with the stellarator road, they would not appear today.

At least before starting the final ignition and power generation operation, there would be no problems with the stellarator, he was confident.

"Academician Xu, a comprehensive inspection of Huaxing Fusion Device has been completed. All equipment is normal and has no problems, and the acceptance experiment can be carried out."

In front of the main console, Liang Qu quickly walked up to report.

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "As promised, you can direct today's experiment. There is no need to ask me for instructions."

For him, there is no need to control such things in his own hands.

Taking this opportunity, cultivating more talents is far more important than personally directing an experiment that is bound to succeed.

Liang Qu nodded and looked at the round clock hanging on the wall seriously, the time on it was ticking.

Although this is just a small thing for the person in front of me, for him, and for many researchers and engineers at the Energy Research Institute, this is undoubtedly an important moment when the stellarator is lit up for the first time on Chinese soil, and it is also an important moment.

Important moments in their lives.

At ten o'clock, Liang Qu took a deep breath and gave the order calmly: "Please pay attention to all units and groups, start powering on and run!"

As the order to start the experiment was issued, the staff in each group of control rooms quickly became busy.

External current is stably supplied to the Huaxing fusion device, the pipeline valves connecting the storage of liquid nitrogen and liquid helium are opened, and ultra-low temperature liquid helium and liquid nitrogen flow to different areas through different pipelines.

One piece of work is being carried out steadily and orderly. For everyone at Xinghai Research Institute, they have experienced this process countless times.

The only difference is that this time, the target of the experiment was changed from a tokamak device to a stellarator.

[Steady-state magnetic field strength reaches 41.73 Tesla, goal achieved!]

[The fine-tuning magnetic field has been corrected according to the instructions, and the magnetic field in the reaction chamber has reached the target plan! The external field coil has been adjusted!]

【......】

【Helium III raw material has been injected!】

[The ICRF heating antenna has been started up. The current temperature has reached 37 million degrees Celsius and is expected to reach 60 million degrees Celsius in three minutes!]

[Hydrogen gas introduction is completed, simulation experiment data is being collected!]

【......】

In the control room, clear and steady reports continued to sound.

Xu Chuan looked at the data displayed on the main console screen and nodded with satisfaction. On the basis of having achieved controllable nuclear fusion technology, everything was going smoothly.

The problems that were encountered in the Dawn Device have been solved in advance thanks to the efforts of many scientific researchers at Xinghai Research Institute.

If it is unexpected, the next step should be the most important one.

High-density compression of plasma turbulence in the reactor chamber to test the minimum size limit of high-density plasma iris.

This is related to how small the reactor can be under different outer ring constrained magnetic field strengths!
