Chapter 433 Ignition! Break through the limit!(1/3)

[Two chapters in one]

The next experimental arrangements have basically been determined, which is to use their particle accelerator to produce more of that special tungsten plate to prepare for subsequent verification on the Oriental Hyperring!

The total amount of tungsten plates required to produce the Oriental Super Ring takes two months, which is almost half of the conch-type device designed by Lin Xiao.

This is mainly because the Oriental Hyperloop is still relatively small in size. Even if it can achieve stable nuclear fusion, the energy it can provide is not enough to meet all the electrical energy needed by the entire Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic circle.

Of course, the main reason for not being able to provide it is due to technical issues. Theoretically speaking, even a disc with a diameter of less than ten centimeters can achieve nuclear fusion, but the most critical issue is how to achieve nuclear fusion in this ten centimeter disc.

, create a magnetic field strong enough to constrain the plasma flow that carries out the fusion reaction inside.

Obviously, to achieve this, the magnetic field strength must be at least hundreds or thousands of Teslas, and it is impossible for any current superconductor to provide such a strong magnetic field without quenching.

After all, the black technology contained in Iron Man's luminous disc that is less than ten centimeters cannot be produced in reality.

Of course, for now, they don't need to pursue that level of technology. They need to develop a commercially available nuclear fusion reactor first.

Therefore, after two months, when all the tungsten plates are produced, it is time to prepare for the real deal.

Of course, there is also a more important thing during this period, which is Lin Xiao's optimization of the magnetic field line of the Oriental Super Ring.

To a certain extent, this point is more important to this experiment than the production of special tungsten plates.

Although the general direction of the magnetic field of the tokamak device is fixed, the magnetic field lines are not fixed, which means that the lines of the energized conductors that provide the electromagnetic field can be designed more specifically.

Whether this design is good or not is related to the stability of the entire reaction.

This is because in the plasma flow of controllable nuclear fusion, any slight disturbance may cause a subsequent chain reaction, which will greatly reduce the life of the device.

For example, these plasma flows were originally controlled to perform a stable reaction in the center of the reaction device, but two of them happened to collide. After they collided with each other, they collided with other plasmas, so in the end, the plasma

The flow will become turbulent again, causing these equally high-energy plasmas to hit the inner wall, causing damage, and the life of the device will naturally be reduced.

Therefore, careful design is needed at this time to allow the plasma flow to only participate in the reaction rather than in the destruction.

In this way, for their experiment this time, the experimental error can be reduced. After all, this experiment is to verify the performance of the special tungsten plate under the neutron bombardment of the nuclear fusion reaction, and the bombardment of the plasma flow

Obviously this will cause errors.

Of course, in addition to this purpose of this experiment, they also have another purpose, which is to see how long their Eastern Super Ring can illuminate the sun's light this time!

The best results achieved by Oriental Super Ring are the repeatable 101-second plasma operation at 120 million degrees Celsius and the 20-second plasma operation at 160 million degrees Celsius.

This kind of performance may be good, at least in the world, but it is also very bad.

Because whether it is 101 seconds or 20 seconds, compared to the ultimate goal of running for a long time to generate electricity, this time is completely insufficient.

Not to mention generating electricity for such a short period of time is nothing compared to the resources invested.

But this time, they replaced it with a material that can achieve complete resistance to ordinary neutron irradiation. Coupled with Lin Xiao's optimization of the electromagnetic field circuit, how long can it resist this time?

Everyone at the Plasma Institute is looking forward to it.

However, during this process, some people also wanted to know how Lin Xiao wanted to optimize the route.

Especially in just two months.

The superconductor circuit of the entire Oriental Super Ring is quite complicated. Even a slight earthquake movement may affect the overall magnetic field. Therefore, how to optimize the circuit has a lot to do with it. It can almost be said that one move affects the whole body.

Moreover, the route they originally designed has already reached a very good level. If this is further optimized, where can it be optimized?

Many people are curious.

This also includes Li Gang.



"It's been a month. This month's 250 fusion tungsten plates have been shipped to the Oriental Hyperloop."

In the cafeteria of the Golden Crow Project Research Institute, Lin Xiao and Li Gang were sitting together eating. After taking a few bites, Li Gang said something.

Fusion tungsten plate refers to the new type of tungsten plate. Why is it called that? It is because they all put their hopes of successfully achieving fusion on this tungsten plate, so they use this name to express their expectations.

.

"Um."

Lin Xiao nodded, "Just follow the time, don't worry."

Li Gang smiled and said, "I'm not too anxious, but the problem is on your side."

"Optimizing routes shouldn't be that simple, right?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "It's indeed not very simple, but it's not a big problem, account number."

Li Gang was stunned, "Pangu is super calculating?"

"Um."

Lin Xiao nodded.

An expression of surprise suddenly appeared on Li Gang's face: "Didn't I just set this up? Do you already have an account?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands and said: "Theoretically, our Dingguang Research Institute is the one who makes the most money for Pangu supercomputing. Of course I have an account."

Li Gang's face suddenly showed an expression of envy.

The Pangu supercomputer, which is known as the most powerful supercomputer in mankind, has attracted all kinds of attention from the scientific community since its release, which naturally includes people from their plasma institute. After all, the research on plasma fluids in tokamak devices is

Among the problems, the use of supercomputing to assist research is an indispensable means.

So when the news of Pangu supercomputer first came out, it had already attracted their attention, not to mention the amazing computing power that Lin Xiao showed when he used it for the first time.

We must regain the momentum of being the world’s number one supercomputer.

After so long, the Pangu supercomputer has been built some time ago, but it is not yet open for use. After all, it still needs a period of internal debugging.

However, as Lin Xiao’s Dingguang Research Institute is the party that paid the money, Lin Xiao can naturally use it in advance.

But soon, Li Gang came back to his senses and said: "Although you can use Pangu supercomputer now, does this not affect your design of the magnetic field circuit of the Oriental Super Ring?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands: "It does not affect it, but as for the magnetic field circuit, I have actually designed it a long time ago, and I have been running simulations on the Pangu supercomputer recently."

"It doesn't matter..." Li Gang was nodding his head, and then suddenly his eyes widened and he looked at Lin Xiao.

"?"

"What did you say? You have already designed it? So quickly?"

"Well..." Lin Xiao groped his chin and said, "I can't say that it has been designed. It's just that during this period of time, I have been further optimizing it based on the supercomputer simulation."

Li Gang: "..."

How do you manage to say such incredible things with such calm words?

"My Academician Lin, are you sure you are not joking? It has only been a month! And you have already designed it?"

According to Li Gang's original thoughts, he had already planned to wait a few more months before Lin Xiao had completed the optimization.

Then Lin Xiao turned around and told him that not only was the design completed, but the details were even being polished now?

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why.

Lin Xiao smiled, spread his hands and said, "Don't be so surprised. How about I take you to the office after dinner?"

Li Gang nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll go and see it after eating."

Although he had been shocked by Lin Xiao many times for so long, he had to be shocked every time, and he couldn't get used to it at all.

This time he wanted to see how Lin Xiao was able to optimize the magnetic field circuit within a month.

Regarding Li Gang's surprise, Lin Xiao just shrugged and continued eating.

After finishing their meal quickly, they left the cafeteria and headed to Lin Xiao's office.

After arriving at the office, Lin Xiao turned on the computer and showed the supercomputer's operating interface to Li Gang.

Seeing the simulation animation above and the large amount of data popping up next to it, Li Gang finally confirmed that what Lin Xiao said was true!

He actually built this superconducting circuit in just one month!

And Li Gang took a closer look at the simulation above. Good guy, the simulation has been running continuously for fifteen days.

Of course, this continuous running of fifteen days is an accelerated calculation achieved through computing power, and it does not mean that the program has been running for fifteen days in reality.

However, after running this accelerated calculation for fifteen days, the inner wall wear degree displayed above was actually less than one thousandth!

In other words, in this simulation, the magnetic field circuit optimized by Lin Xiao made the wear of the plasma flow on the inner wall of the device almost negligible!

After all, it only takes fifteen days to wear out less than one-thousandth of a percent, and after 360 days a year, it will only wear out about 2%. And they plan to perform maintenance once every three years, which is equivalent to replacing the inner wall every three years.

material, in this way, the wear rate of the plasma flow is only up to 6%.

So in this way, you only need to face the radiation damage caused by neutrons with peace of mind.

Seeing this, Li Gang couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao next to him, still feeling very unbelievable.

"How did you do it? It's only been a month!"

Lin Xiao spread his hands and said, "That's it."

"How did you do this?" Li Gang still couldn't figure out how he could complete so much work in one month.

Lin Xiao sat down on his office chair, held his head in his hands, and said: "Okay, Academician Li, you should also know that the existence and smoothness of the solution to the Navier-Stokes equation are
