Nuclear Fusion Experiment Base, Workgroup Control Room.

Zhao Yi sat in front of the computer to his right, scrutinizing the real-time parameters sent by the detecting instrument. The vast amount of detection data was overwhelming, but he browsed through it very carefully.

The others stood behind him, watching. freewebnøvel.com

At first, many were frightened, feeling that being close to the nuclear fusion device was inherently dangerous.

Of course, the danger was real.

After spending some time in the workgroup, everyone grew more composed as nothing unexpected happened; everything ran normally. The only changes were the parameters displayed on the computer screens, which most people couldn’t understand.

Zhao Yi continued his review impassively, then frowned as he turned around the room, glancing over the content on every computer screen, and took a careful look at the images on the monitors.

He furrowed his brow.

"How’s it looking? Academician Zhao, did you find anything?" a senior leader couldn’t help asking.

The others also turned their attention his way.

Zhao Yi shook his head slightly and continued pondering with furrowed brows. The detection data showed everything as normal, and the components were running properly.

Under such conditions, there shouldn’t be any problem with the output power.

The rest didn’t find it unusual.

A nuclear fusion device is incredibly complex, with hundreds of detectors reporting various types of data.

Simply considering the detection data alone was enough to make one’s head spin.

If there was an issue with a certain component, pinpointing it wouldn’t be easy.

Furthermore, as a newly manufactured complex reactor, even the staff involved in its construction from the nuclear institute couldn’t claim to fully understand the device. A minor issue could lead to a major problem.

This was like a car having an issue; without an experienced mechanic, identifying the problem would require a comprehensive check.

Zhao Yi ignored the thoughts of others, moving about the room before sitting down again beside the computer.

The others felt it was normal not to find any issues, but for him, not finding the problem was incomprehensible.

He noted that the internal components operated without issue, and the real-time data reported by the instruments showed no problems either.

So where was the issue?

"Software!"

Zhao Yi had an epiphany. The nuclear fusion device wasn’t just about physical equipment and facilities; it also included a whole electronic control system.

Any complex device required an electronic control system.

The internal reaction of the nuclear fusion device depended on the adjustment of anti-gravitational performance. By modulating the anti-gravitational effect, one could control the maximum particle speed, thus achieving the necessary conditions for the intensity of the internal nuclear fusion reaction.

This modulation was achieved through the electronic control system.

When the internal reaction became too intense, the electronic control system would automatically adjust, increasing the anti-gravitational effect to manage the maximum particle speed and control the reaction intensity.

The issue of insufficient output power, which obviously indicated an inadequate reaction intensity, was likely a problem with the electronic control system.

Zhao Yi immediately used "Law of Cause and Effect" to find the answer.

Indeed!

The electronic control system used in the nuclear fusion device was imperfect, with a minor flaw in its internal algorithm causing normal detection submissions to yield inaccurate results.

"So that’s it!"

Knowing the problem, Zhao Yi halted his steps and immediately said, "It should be an issue with the software."

"A software issue?" The others looked at him.

Zhao Yi explained, "I’ve just reviewed all the detection parameters and found no issues, yet there’s such a significant discrepancy in the result output. It’s very likely an issue with the algorithm in the internal electronic control system."

"Which group is responsible for the electronic control system?"

All eyes turned to Chen Zeshu.

Chen Zeshu thought for a moment and said awkwardly, "It was designed by several software experts from the technical department together."

He didn’t name names, knowing the gravity of the issue.

Zhao Yi, however, wasn’t bothered and simply expressed surprise, "You were building a nuclear fusion device in your group, didn’t you have a dedicated computer team?"

Chen Zeshu shook his head awkwardly, "The design only called for an electronic control system. There were no issues with the hardware. I didn’t anticipate that the algorithm would have issues."

Zhao Yi gave a bitter smile and shook his head; he finally understood why the data on the computer seemed so chaotic.

The entire nuclear fusion device R&D team didn’t have a dedicated computer team supporting them?

But on second thought, it made sense. The nuclear institute and Z-wave experimental groups involved in the fusion manufacturing mainly consisted of technicians; they were either mechanical engineers, nuclear physicists, or specialists in materials and power.

Wait a minute.

Among them, there might be a few computer experts, but certainly not enough to form a dedicated computer team.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Academician Chen, there’s no need for blame. Even I didn’t foresee an issue with the electronic control system; it’s something we overlooked."

The others listened and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yi continued, "This is a lesson learned. We can’t just focus on hardware, materials, and technology. We also need to pay attention to software. Software is a form of soft power, and it’s crucial."
