All the staff at the scene were stunned, but their long-standing habit of obeying orders made them obey the command.
After the deuterium and tritium mixed gas was injected into the reactor again, everyone realized that the goal of this experiment had unknowingly changed from thirty minutes to one hour.
Are you kidding me?
Directly doubled the time?
Austin did not dare to be careless and immediately continued to command.
"All aspects of the device will continue to report on the situation!"
"The cooling system is normal..."
"The pressure in the furnace is too high..."
After the series of reports ended, Austin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that I have underestimated it. According to this situation, it may not be impossible to succeed in one hour!
Austin suddenly became excited when he thought of this.
As long as this is successful, ITER will usher in a higher status in the future!
And he himself will rise with the rising tide!
As he thought about it, Austin became more and more excited.
When Austin announced the latest challenge goal, everyone watching the live broadcast knew that it was a competition between ITER and the Dragon Kingdom team.
One on both sides represents the Tokmak device, and the other represents the obsolete stellarator device.
Naturally, they all want to suppress their opponents.
Suddenly all netizens were looking forward to it.
If ITER can really break through one hour, it means that the battle between the two sides will continue!
At the same time, as the live broadcast progressed, everyone at the Dragon Academy in Beijing also saw the live broadcast content.
Liu Zhongmin made a call to Xu Zhou to inquire about the situation.
Xu Zhou on the opposite side was very relaxed and comfortable.
"Don't worry. Starting thirty minutes after the Tokmak device broke through, every minute is actually a gamble. Within an hour... something will definitely happen."
Liu Zhongmin was stunned for a moment. He knew that Xu Zhou had always thought that Tokmok was a detour.
But he still doesn't know what will happen when he comes out.
"Something happened? Xiao Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Zhou chuckled and said:
"Watch the live broadcast and you will find out later. If you are lucky, we will see a grand fireworks show."
Liu Zhongmin gasped after hearing this.
Xu Zhou means it will explode?
"But Dean, don't worry. Nuclear fusion devices are different from nuclear fission. No matter how out-of-control the explosion is, it will not cause a large chain reaction. At most, it will blow up the device. It is as simple as destroying the laboratory and it will not cause large-scale casualties. "
Liu Zhongmin nodded. This is the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.
If there is a problem with the nuclear fission reactor, it may even cause a worldwide disaster.
For example, in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident that year, the radioactive pollution in this accident was equivalent to more than 400 times the atomic bomb exploded in Sakura Country.
Radioactive materials were carried to areas far away from the Two Bear Country with the flow of air, contaminating most of the entire West!
In the end, if the rescuers had not bravely rushed into the core area of the nuclear reactor and controlled the deteriorating situation, global security would have been affected.
If something happens to the nuclear fusion reactor, it will be at most a bomb level.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhongmin continued to pay attention to the content of the live broadcast.
At this time, the experiment has reached the fifty-first minute.
Just when everyone thought things could continue smoothly, an alarm suddenly sounded inside the device!
Austin asked immediately:
"what happened?"
"I don't know, the detection data has been lost in the reactor... the magnetic binding force... is disappearing!"
Austin's expression changed drastically, and he had already imagined the next scene in his mind!
But before he could give any instructions, the entire device began to make a terrifying explosion sound!
In the cavity of the tokamak reactor, the violent plasma is controlled by the magnetic field formed by a super transformer!
It is extremely difficult to control plasma. Now that the magnetic force has decreased, the ultra-high temperature plasma will destroy the first wall, and the force of its escape will continue to damage the superconducting cavity and other equipment!
At this moment, plasma with a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees swayed out, impacting and destroying the entire laboratory!
boom!
After a loud noise, all the staff were overturned and hit against the glass barrier!
Austin was also knocked two to three meters away by the shock wave and rolled to the ground.
For a moment, the scene was in chaos, with screams, cries for help, and panicked cries for escape from the media filling the scene.
The people in the guest seats in the distance were also shocked.
Harris looked gloomy, snorted coldly as he looked at the failed and chaotic laboratory, and then left under the protection of the guards.
Naturally, the others did not need to be reminded and left this place of right and wrong one after another.
In this way, the farce slowly ended.
According to media disclosures afterwards, the failure resulted in the deaths of two people and serious injuries to more than a dozen people, including Austin himself.
At the same time, various news headlines appeared on various platforms of the world's media.
[ITER is really just shit covered in chocolate? Is the Dragon Kingdom the hope for the future of controllable nuclear fusion? 】
[Blind confidence or capital control, the nuclear fusion dispute between ITER and Dragon Kingdom was completely defeated! 】
[Tokmak and stellarator may usher in a historic reversal! 】
As countless people learned about this matter, various member states also publicly announced their withdrawal from ITER in the following days.
Some countries even directly approached Long Guo after withdrawing and asked whether Long Guo had established a new international nuclear fusion research organization.
Xu Zhou, Liu Zhongmin and others just laughed at this.
I have already researched it, and you want me to establish an international research organization?
Isn't this just a prostitution for nothing?
Reject directly, Dragon Country is not a fool, and even rejected the request for cooperation from Grizzly Bear Country.
Anyway, everyone is well aware of what happened after this incident.
There are no permanent friends in the world, only interests come first.
The Grizzly Bear Country had been maintaining a front line with the Dragon Country before because the United States was too powerful.
We all need teammates.
But it’s different now, Dragon Kingdom is strong enough!
The help from the Grizzlies is just that, and the United States is no longer the big mountain weighing on the Dragon Kingdom.
Some people on the Internet who don't understand clearly feel a little ashamed of the grizzly bear country, so someone directly conducted the simplest science popularization on this.
In the modern history of the Dragon Kingdom, the object that had the most territory carved up was the former Soviet Union, the predecessor of the Grizzly Bear Kingdom!
It’s just that due to the publicity of many online marketing accounts, many people think that Grizzly Bear Country is our loyal partner.
But in the final analysis it is all about interests.
How many people can stay awake?
However, the popularity of the Internet is limited after all. This time the struggle in the field of controllable nuclear fusion finally ended with the Dragon Kingdom's perfect victory.
In the Ark Academy of Science, Xu Zhou is currently thinking about applying controllable nuclear fusion to underwater combat submarines as soon as possible.
Now that the material problem has been solved, the water pressure in the deep sea can be resisted by relying on the super alloy technology of the Orca.
The problem of battery life was also perfectly solved after the emergence of controllable nuclear fusion, and the official application was launched later, so that we could set out to deal with the giant marine life in the waters of Sakura Island as soon as possible.
Xu Zhou sat in the office, closing his eyes and searching in his mind for relevant technologies that could be used.
During this period, the proficiency level has increased again, and it can be exchanged for some technologies that can be used in time.
Just as Xu Zhou kept scanning the system technology list, a target suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Then he decisively clicked on it and carefully read the introduction to the technology.
After a moment, he showed joy in his eyes.
"You are the one!"
And the technology that emerged in his mind was exactly [Controllable Nuclear Fusion Miniaturization Technology]!
Although controllable nuclear fusion has been researched and born, it is basically guaranteed to operate stably after several tests.
From a large perspective, it can solve all the current energy problems of Dragon Kingdom.
Although building a nuclear fusion energy station requires a lot of money, it is not an exaggeration to call it a waste of money.
But it’s not a big problem as long as it can be solved with money.
The difficulty lies in how to apply it to specific tools!
For example, putting nuclear fusion on cars, submarines, and airplanes.
These are very difficult.
A nuclear fusion device is neither big nor small.
In order to be mounted on specific tools, miniaturization research must be conducted.
Moreover, this miniaturization cannot affect the power output of the energy source, otherwise it will become meaningless.
And this difficulty, at least now, seems extremely advanced!
Even better than the birth of controllable nuclear fusion!
However... with the technical support of the system, Xu Zhou felt that this research must be completed as soon as possible.
As long as the technologies of controllable nuclear fusion and nuclear fusion miniaturization are mastered.
In the future, it will become much easier to explore the outer space or the deep sea.
Ding ding ding!
At this moment, Xu Zhou's cell phone rang.
After the call was connected, it was Liu Zhongmin.
"Xiao Xu, hurry up and get ready! Our supreme leader of the Dragon Kingdom wants to see you!"
Xu Zhou's expression froze for a moment, then he calmed down for a while before replying:
"Roger it, Dean!"
