This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 223 Brilliant Light, Open!
The cost of liquid metal hydrogen is high, so there is no way, because the conditions for its preparation are right there.

It has high energy because it consumes a lot of energy to prepare it.

These are all equivalent, and there is no way to take shortcuts.

But it's not completely impossible.

The production of liquid metal hydrogen, not to mention other materials, consumes a huge amount of electricity, and a large part of its cost comes from electricity bills.

As long as the electricity bill is lowered to the point where it is almost free, the price of liquid metal hydrogen is completely acceptable.

Other costs can be gradually reduced with the upgrading of technology.

The reason why we talk about the electricity bill first is because it is the easiest to solve, because... the controllable nuclear fusion reactor is about to be completed.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Future made the Muyuan aerospace plane public at this time.

Just over a week after the successful maiden flight of the Mu Yuan, Li Future was invited to the Science Fiction Island in Greentown.

This is where the starry nuclear fusion experimental reactor was built.

Last year, Li Future and the engineers here built an experimental device the size of a water tank, which verified the important role of metal hydrogen in the controllable nuclear fusion project.

So here began a comprehensive transformation of the "Oriental Super Ring".

Fusion energy has outstanding advantages such as abundant resources, no carbon emissions, and inherent safety. It is one of the ideal large-scale clean energy sources for human beings in the future and can make important contributions to the realization of carbon neutrality.

The two biggest difficulties in realizing fusion power generation are how to achieve hundreds of millions of degrees of ignition and stable long-term safety control.

Decades ago, through the joint efforts of the fusion community of relevant countries around the world, the fusion reaction under the condition of hundreds of millions of degrees has been successfully realized in a few seconds, and the scientific feasibility of fusion has been verified.

It is feasible in a short time, but it is more difficult to precisely control and maintain hundreds of millions of degrees of plasma for a long time.

This requires the simultaneous high integration and organic combination of multiple extreme conditions such as hundreds of millions of degrees of plasma and ultra-low temperature superconducting magnets, high heat load plasma and plasma strong interaction, and dynamic precision control.

Difficulty and risk are very great.

The final engineering choice is a fully superconducting tokamak, but there is no precedent for successful construction in the world.

Therefore, the construction of an advanced all-superconducting non-circular cross-section tokamak and the long-term research on high-temperature plasma physics became recognized problems and cutting-edge research fields in the international fusion community at that time.

So Fanxing has a national major scientific engineering project "EAST Superconducting Tokamak Nuclear Fusion Experimental Device", which is the Eastern Super Ring.

Its scientific goal is to conduct exploratory experimental research on the cutting-edge physical problems that still exist in the construction of tokamak nuclear fusion reactors, and to provide a physical and engineering technical basis for future stable, safe and efficient advanced fusion reactors.

The Dongfang Super Ring Experimental System is composed of the device host and [-] subsystems, and its main technical features are many.

For example, the world's first all-superconducting magnet system, the first actively cooled divertor structure, advanced and flexible non-circular cross-section magnetic field configurations, more than 80 measurement and diagnostic systems, and the world's largest 34MW steady-state high-power heating system.

At the same time, it is also the world's first fully superconducting tokamak device that integrates the three characteristics of full superconductivity, active cooling divertor, and steady-state high-power heating, and is the first to be successfully put into operation.

Its construction and operation have set up an important experimental platform for the world's steady-state near-core fusion physics and engineering research.

Make Fanxing the first country in the world to master a new generation of advanced full superconducting tokamak technology.

It also lays a solid foundation for the further development of Fanxing magnetic confinement fusion research, as well as for improving the physics, engineering, and technical levels of magnetic confinement fusion and for cultivating high-level talents.

建成之后，它获得了1兆安等离子体电流、100秒1500万度偏滤器长脉冲等离子体、大于30倍能量约束时间高约束模式等离子体、3兆瓦离子回旋加热等多项重要实验成果，大大推进了“东方超环”实现其总体科学目标的进程。

前两年进行了一下升级改造，升完级之后就完成了1.2亿摄氏度101秒、1.6亿摄氏度20秒和7000万度等离子燃烧运行1000秒的成就。

Its next step is to achieve its scientific goal of 1 million degrees and 2 seconds as soon as possible within the next 1 to 1000 years.

If this goal is achieved, scientists will further improve its performance to make it close to the parameters required by future fusion reactors, and fully verify the science, technology, Engineering problems have laid a solid foundation for the construction and scientific research of future fusion engineering reactors.

Unfortunately, at the critical moment of further goals, the project was stopped.

Of course, instead of giving up the project, Li Future joined.

Li Future brought three things, metal hydrogen, metal hydrogen, or TM metal hydrogen!

Ahem, no, it's metal hydrogen, more advanced controllable nuclear fusion technology and small-scale experiments.

This made the relevant staff ecstatic. After the small-scale test was successful, they immediately carried out a comprehensive transformation of the Dongfang Super Ring.

So not a year after the upgrade of Dongfang Super Ring was completed, it started upgrading again.

Now, its transformation is complete.

The renovation took less than a year.

Even before inviting Li Weilai to come over, the scientists also accomplished the scientific goal of 1 million degrees and 1000 seconds by the way.

After all, the goal was set at the beginning, and it was regarded as a test, and it was not announced to the public after the test.

That's why I say "by the way".

After confirming that the upgrade and transformation of Dongfang Super Ring fully met the requirements, they invited Li Future over.

"Hey~ You're here, if it wasn't for waiting for you, we would have set the fire a long time ago."

Mr. Jin, the general person in charge of the experimental operation of Oriental Hyperloop, smiled and held Li Weiwei's hand as soon as he saw him.

"Mr. Jin, this is boring. You have accelerated the upgrade progress and didn't tell me. I've been counting on the plan. Can you blame me?"

"And it's me who you informed?"

Li Weiwei was also polite, "So you can't blame me, but you."

"Hahahaha, okay, blame us, blame us."

President Jin laughed and dragged Li Weiwei into the scooter, "Drive, I can't wait to see it running."

When they got to the control room, there were already many people there, and they were watched as soon as they entered, especially Li Weiwei.

After all, without his joining, they would not have gathered here today.

And Li Weiwei also looked at them, and found that there were not only people from the project, but also many big figures from other places and units.

No wonder, controllable nuclear fusion, this technology is really important!
Mr. Jin didn't talk nonsense, he stood at the main position and said to the operator: "Let's get started!"
