Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1293: Chapter 620: Academician Zhao is Truly Great!_1

More than three months ago, the nuclear fusion device had already been assembled and had been undergoing performance testing of components and equipment.

Now, all the testing had concluded, and they were officially preparing to initiate the ignition experiment.

Many people had come to participate in the ignition experiment of the nuclear fusion device, each one of them either a high-level or core technical personnel, totaling nearly fifty people.

A massive team of fifty people had come to participate in the nuclear test ignition experiment, which was indicative of the experiment’s importance.

This time was different from the last.

The previous experiment could be said to have been doomed to failure; everyone knew that the nuclear fusion device could be ignited but could not sustain operation for a long time.

This time, they had replaced the materials and remanufactured the core device, and the external conduction device had also been well-prepared.

Most of the design had been completed by Zhao Yi, and Chen Zeshu also very confidently remarked, "This nuclear fusion experimental device is already very well-developed."

"If the experiment is successful, it can maintain high-power operation and continue for more than a year."

Such a statement was equivalent to saying that controlled nuclear fusion had already been achieved.

When the group arrived at the nuclear fusion experiment base, they could see the central device.

The entire device was roughly as tall as a three-story building, resembling a large, circular instrument with a radius of about twenty meters. It was indeed quite huge.

When the group arrived at the experimental base, Chen Zeshu came directly to meet them and eventually led them on a tour of the nuclear fusion device.

Entering it at first, they saw the output end-components, and Chen Zeshu gave a detailed introduction, "We are using traditional high-voltage power transmission and have manufactured a special large-scale generator."

"Through the device’s thermal conduction, the generator can be operated, with part of it transmitting to the power pump for the functioning of the external physical components."

The principle of power transmission was simple: the heat energy was used to create high pressure, which generated mechanical force to achieve the rapid rotation of the main shaft, driving the large generator to operate.

The external power section of the nuclear fusion device was connected to two large generators.

The main components of these two large generators, such as their main shafts, were manufactured by Red Wind Industry, whose main shaft manufacturing technology had reached an internationally advanced level.

Of course, compared to the world’s most advanced, there was still a certain gap, but the efficiency of the generators produced far exceeded the international advanced level. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

This was mainly due to the difference in materials.

The main shafts manufactured by Red Wind Industry utilized Z-Wave Compression materials.

Chen Zeshu explained, "The main components like the main shafts and turbines of the generators are made from Z-Wave Compression materials, which significantly enhance the overall strength, heat resistance, and wear resistance of the generators."

"At the same time, the efficiency of the generators has also been greatly improved."

Just as high-quality ingredients can become delicious with simple preparation, the support of high-strength Z-Wave Compression materials meant that even ordinary international-level technology could produce machinery far surpassing the international advanced level.

After introducing the generators, Chen Zeshu also explained the energy conversion efficiency of the nuclear fusion device, "The energy conversion rate is very high, we predict it to be between 10% and 15%."

This was a highly efficient figure. freeweɓnøvel.com

The energy conversion rate was the ratio of kinetic and electric energy transformed at the output end to the thermal energy generated inside the nuclear fusion device.

Firstly, at least 60% of the device’s internal thermal energy would be lost by the time it reached the output end, the thermal energy at the output end converted into high-pressure power would lose a large part, and the high-pressure power converted into electrical energy would lose a large part again.

Achieving a conversion rate of over 10% was definitely an extraordinary figure.

Even the most advanced international nuclear fission reactors couldn’t achieve this figure, with most of the energy dissipating during the operation of the device.

This indicated the precision and advanced nature of the manufacturing of the entire device.

The nuclear fusion ignition experiment was no ordinary test, unlike the space shuttle trial, where the main aim was parameter calibration. Once theoretical support was established, technology was no longer an issue.

The current nuclear fusion device had been very complex to manufacture, involving project teams including Chen Zeshu’s led nuclear institute team, the Z-Wave Compression material experimental group, the anti-gravity technology team, and the Science Academy’s Mechanical Power Research Institute.

The group followed Chen Zeshu and inspected the entire device; next up was the preparation work for the experiment. Among the group were many experts in mechanics, physics, computer science, and other fields, all of whom were directly involved in preparing for the experiment.

Zhao Yi was also involved in the preparation; unlike others, even though he hadn’t spent most of his time with the nuclear fusion experimental group, the nuclear fusion device was his design.

The core of the nuclear fusion device, including the anti-gravity device that drives the nuclear fusion, were his designs. His job was to check these two devices and review the data from past experiments.

The preparation before the experiment could all be categorized under ’inspection.’

After completing a series of tasks, Zhao Yi knew that there were no issues with the main body of the device; only some of the auxiliary components were somewhat deficient in design, but they did not fundamentally affect the experiment.

This experiment was of great importance.

If the experiment were successful, the following plan would be to keep the device operational continuously, with various adjustments being made during the process. If no insurmountable problems emerged, the device was planned to operate for over a year.
