Chapter 305 Exploding Controlled Fusion Reactor

The testing and verification of the plasma turbulence model is still in progress. Even though the supercomputing center of Nanjing University cannot perfectly calculate this model, the test can still be carried out, at most it is delayed data output.

For Xu Chuan, this was enough.

First get the first batch of test data, then analyze, adjust and optimize some models, and then apply for a national-level supercomputing, and do the second check and test.

Mathematical models, especially for plasma turbulence, are not so easy to do well, and they all have to go through calculations and optimizations over and over again.

And after the verification of the supercomputer is completed, he still has to find a way to test this model.

After all, the verification of the supercomputer is only a simulation test, and no one knows what will happen when it is actually applied to a controllable nuclear fusion reactor.

To be honest, it is also troublesome to use the experimental pile to check his model.

Let’s go to China. Strictly speaking, there is only one experimental pile in China that is qualified to be used as a model checking calculation. Almost none of other research institutes and laboratories are qualified.

Looking abroad? Which foreign laboratory will agree?

Modifying the control models and algorithms for a controlled fusion reactor is no small feat.

In case something goes wrong, the first wall can cause great damage and loss.

On this side, Xu Chuan was having some headaches about the follow-up test questions. On the other side, Sakura Country, Ibaraki Prefecture, the capital city of Edo.

Here is the QST Fusion Research Institute in Sakura Country, which has a controllable nuclear fusion experimental reactor JT-60SA.

JT-60SA is an upgraded version of the JT-60 (Japan Torus-60) previously operated by the Sakura Country Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). It entered service in 1985. After several modifications, it is now the largest Torus in Sakura Country. Mark device.

In the Fusion Research Institute of QST, a group of researchers and mathematicians are busy in the laboratory.

Nearly two months ago, the capital sent them a piece of information. To the surprise of the Fusion Research Institute of QST, this piece of information turned out to be about plasma turbulence modeling in a controllable nuclear fusion reactor.

Although it is not clear how this information came about, after research, they found that it is quite possible to use this information to establish a mathematical model for controlling plasma turbulence.

After confirming this point, the Fusion Research Institute of QST immediately launched a comprehensive research work. Not only that, Edo Metropolis also supported their top mathematicians and modeling researchers to help them advance their work.

For the resource-poor Cherry Blossom Country, nuclear fusion energy will help reduce or even get rid of its dependence on overseas energy.

At present, about 3/4 of their country-owned electricity comes from thermal power generation, and almost all fuels such as natural gas used are imported. Under the influence of factors such as the international situation, global energy prices have risen, resulting in a sharp increase in domestic energy imports and electricity bills. Prices have risen substantially.

This status quo prompts them to increase strategic plans for other energy development and accelerate technological research to achieve energy self-sufficiency.

This includes controlled nuclear fusion technology.

After all, this technology has great potential to solve energy problems. If it succeeds, their Sakura Kingdom will become the world's top power.

Regardless of the fact that they have no nuclear weapons, no uniform order, and even American troops stationed on the country, as long as they want to, mature nuclear power plant technology can be transformed into nuclear weapons one by one at any time.

As for the army, what they lack most is also people. Citizens who have lofty beliefs in the emperor can fight to the death for the country at any time.

Now that we see the hope of solving controllable nuclear fusion, how can we not make people excited and hardworking?

"Welcome Director Nakano to come to QST Fusion Research Institute to guide the work."

Outside the QST Central Fusion Research Institute, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes got off a Toyota vehicle. At the door, the director of the QST Central Fusion Research Institute who was waiting here quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Nakano Takuma nodded, and then asked after responding:

"About that information, how is your research? Does the established mathematical model work normally?"

Wu Lintaro, director of the Fusion Research Institute of QST, replied respectfully: "The control model of plasma turbulence has been established, and the supercomputer has been used to verify the phenomenological model. The model is quite excellent."

"The control algorithm of the JT-60SA test reactor is currently being modified, and it has come to an end. According to the plan, it can be completed within three days. Next, the new model and algorithm will be used to control the test reactor."

Hearing this, Nakano Takuma showed a smile on his face: "Good job, Mr. Wu Lin, it seems that we can see the day when the empire will rise again! After the experiment is completed, I will give you credit!"

"Thank you, Nakano Takuma, for your great love. Contributing to the empire is what I should do." Wu Rintaro's eyes flashed a gleam of joy. With Nakano Takuma's support, he might be able to formally enter the political arena.

Three days is not a long time, and Xu Chuan's mathematical model verification test has not been fully completed. The Fusion Research Institute of QST is about to start using their own "mathematical model" to test the JT-60SA test reactor. Take control.

For Sakura Country, the start of the controllable nuclear fusion experimental reactor is undoubtedly a big event.

On the day of the test, not only officials from the Department of Energy, but also many media reporters arrived.

Among the crowd, Wu Rintaro combed his oily back hair specially, revealing a towering forehead. He was full of smiles and full of energy.

Judging from the mathematical model of supercomputing simulation on plasma turbulence control, the results are undoubtedly quite good.

The phenomenological model controls the plasma turbulence almost perfectly, whether it is the bremsstrahlung power or the energy loss power caused by heat conduction and particle escape, almost all reach the standard under this control model.

what does that mean?

Meaning they can perfectly control the plasma turbulence in the controllable fusion reactor chamber!

It means that as long as their experiment can be successful today, the empire's controllable nuclear fusion technology will be at the forefront of the world!

It means that he will be the greatest contributor to the empire, and a brilliant tomorrow and a brilliant future are beckoning to him!

Under the watchful eyes of countless people and cameras, Wu Lintaro's face became more and more flushed.

"Report, the preparations are ready, and the experiment can be started at any time." In the control room of the research institute, a staff member trotted over and reported loudly.

Wu Lintaro nodded, looked at the camera behind him and the people visiting the experiment with great spirit, and said excitedly: "Everyone, I am very glad to witness the opening of the experiment with you today. This is my honor, the glory of the empire!"

"Start the experiment!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

"."

A series of replies sounded in the control room.

With the confirmation, the JT-60SA controllable nuclear fusion experimental reactor in the QST Fusion Research Institute began to run slowly. Of course, when the deuterium-tritium fusion raw material was injected into the reaction chamber, the ignition device of the JT-60SA controllable nuclear fusion experimental In operation, the deuterium-tritium feedstock in the chamber is heated into a plasma state.

Immediately, the model for the control of plasma turbulence began to operate with the support of supercomputing, controlling the orderly movement of plasma in the chamber.

The temperature in the reaction chamber began to rise.

For the first experiment, the Fusion Research Institute of QST only injected a small amount of deuterium-tritium raw materials according to the experimental rules, and judging from the feedback data, there is no doubt that these deuterium-tritium plasmas are almost perfectly bound in the chamber.

After confirming the experimental results, the control room was full of excitement!

The preliminary micro-experiment results are successful, so what remains is to increase the amount of raw materials in order to achieve the effect of normal fusion!

"Add deuterium-tritium raw materials!" Wu Lintaro gave the order without hesitation.

"Received! The deuterium-tritium raw material is being injected!" The staff who received the order did not hesitate to control it, and injected the prepared deuterium-tritium raw material into the chamber.

"If it succeeds this time, then the empire will become the biggest winner on the route of controllable nuclear fusion! He will also win countless glory and wealth!"

Wu Rintaro tightly clenched his fists, staring at the project in the control room, it will be smooth!

I was dreaming about my future life, but suddenly I heard the exclamation of other staff members!

"The superconducting magnetron system has failed! The plasma is out of confinement, and the material of the first wall is being hit by the plasma and is severely damaged!"

"No, the plasma turbulence in the reactor chamber is getting out of control!"

"."

At the same time, countless alarms in the control room screamed, and the noisy voices were mixed together, which made Wu Rintaro stunned instantly.

He rushed to the monitoring platform, stared at the data on it and quickly asked, "What's going on! Why did the superconducting magnetron suddenly fail?"

"I don't know, the plasma turbulence in the reactor chamber suddenly went out of control, and our control system can no longer control the high-temperature plasma!" The staff quickly replied.

"Stop the experiment! Stop now"

Wu Rintaro gave the order decisively, but it was too late~

With the heating of the NIF heating antenna, the plasma turbulence in the chamber began to rapidly lose control, and the peripheral magnetic field could no longer control the internal plasma.

The chamber of the JT-60SA controllable nuclear fusion experimental reactor could not withstand such a huge pressure. The violent plasma broke through the entire reactor in an instant like a small hydrogen bomb, forming a violent explosion.

Before Wu Lintaro finished his words, a violent vibration came from under his feet, followed by a deafening voice.

In front of the surveillance station, Wu Lintaro's face was ashen. Through the surveillance video, he clearly saw the scene of the explosion.

Although the picture flashes away, a dazzling fireball can still be clearly seen expanding in the reaction chamber carrying the reactor!

The high temperature of tens of millions of degrees mixed with powerful shock waves and reactor fragments danced wildly in the reaction chamber, damaging all damageable items, including the monitor, and the screen was directly blacked out.

In the control room, there was silence, and no one could believe the result.

Their core fusion reactor, ~JT-60SA, exploded.
