Moreover, because the working temperature of the first wall of the nuclear fusion reactor is above 1000 ℃, the plasma can reach 2000 ~ 3000 ℃ at the moment of plasma collapse, and low melting point materials such as steel and copper will pass directly.
At the same time, the task of the first wall is to export heat energy. Ceramic materials with high melting point but poor thermal conductivity are basically killed. The melting point of tungsten is 3400 ℃.
However, tungsten also has the disadvantage of poor plasticity. Under the thermal shock of the ionization breaking, the thermal stress often causes the surface cracking of the material.
so awesome to meet the needs of the first wall material, Lei Tian Tang almost lost his hair. Fortunately, Kuai Fu can not only give out many kinds of materials through a lot of calculations.
Moreover, they can operate the robot in the underground laboratory for 24 hours and carry out the actual test of these materials at the same time. This is the reason why they can develop the first wall material used now in such a short time. It will take at least 5 years to replace it with other laboratories!
In addition, in order to make the confined magnetic field produce a more stable magnetic field, he and Kuafu spent the longest time in the research and development of superconducting materials, because the better the performance of superconducting materials, not only is the magnetic field more stable, but also can reduce the volume of the whole nuclear fusion reaction.
The strength of the magnetic field determines the upper limit of density and temperature, while the size of the device determines the upper limit of the confinement time to some extent.
For the current nuclear fusion reactor, the volume is also an unavoidable topic, ITER device itself weighs 23000 tons, more than three Eiffel Towers!
However, the better the performance of superconducting materials, the more volume fraction of the whole reactor can be reduced. Therefore, in order to obtain better superconducting materials, it is conceivable that Lei Tiantang and Kuafu devoted their energy.
"The whole system self-test is completed! Deuterium tritium fuel filling completed! Start the fire With Kuafu's announcement, the whole nuclear fusion reactor is alive in an instant!
The internal picture uploaded from the reserved sensors and monitoring equipment instantly excited Lei Tiantang! The whole vacuum chamber emits a strong light. If these lights were not filtered after the observation equipment, ordinary people would become blind in an instant!
"The ignition of the reactor is normal! Energy output is normal! We made it, boss! " Kuafu called out excitedly!
"Ha ha..."! Good, good! How nice! It's worth our hard work! Keep monitoring, after all, the reaction is just beginning, and how long you can persist is the key to success or failure!
But even if we can't maintain it for a long time, we can't be regarded as a failure now. We have used our wisdom to complete the work that other laboratories need thousands of scientists to complete! " Lei Tiantang also cried out happily.
"Yes! This success has been the best praise for our hard work! I believe that our reactor can maintain working condition for a long time
"Well! Let's watch it for a while. " Lei Tiantang said while looking at the data displayed on the computer console.
Although Kuafu is responsible for the monitoring equipment of the whole fusion reactor, in theory, these computers on the console are not needed.
But without these computer screens, Lei Tiantang would not be able to intuitively feel the data of the whole reactor. In the future, if the nuclear fusion reactor wants to cooperate with various countries and companies, the control system must also be available.
Therefore, the console is also a part of the fusion reactor system, and it needs to be tested for a long time. Otherwise, if some equipment of the reactor fails to monitor and the control system fails to monitor it, then there will be a very serious accident.
With the passage of time, the nuclear fusion reactor developed by Lei Tiantang and Kuafu did not disappoint them. Up to now, it has been continuously and stably exported to the outside world for more than 4 hours!
In just four hours, the single reactor fusion reactor has generated more than 5 million kilowatts! Perfect to achieve the design goal!
"Boss, now it seems that we are really successful! Are the rest of the tests ready? " Kuafu see the first phase of the test has reached the intended goal, began to prepare for the following test.
"Let's go! After 4 hours of continuous stable output, we can basically confirm that there is no theoretical error in our design, which paves the way for us to develop a smaller nuclear fusion reactor!
Although the volume and weight of our nuclear fusion reactor have reached the practical standard of commercial reactor, this volume and weight can only be built into a fixed commercial power generation reactor.
But our ultimate goal is to move the reactor to our spaceship. The size and weight of the reactor is absolutely not good!
Now let's continue to verify our independently designed function of replacing parts in working state! This is very important. We can't replace the vulnerable parts except for the core components. We should also replace them after shutdown. What practical value does that reactor have? " Lei Tian Tang said with a smile."Yes, so when we design, we will try our best to design those easily damaged parts into modular parts.
Each component has several sets of separate systems. If a part system is damaged, it will not affect the normal operation of the reactor, as long as it is replaced quickly!
Only in this way can we ensure the continuous and stable operation of the reactor. Then I will start to carry out the parts replacement test according to the scheduled plan. Boss, you should pay more attention to it, so as not to react to problems! " Kuafu said seriously.
Then Kuafu let the robot control the special equipment to start the replacement test. Of course, in such a short period of time, there will be no problem with any parts in the whole reactor. If it takes only 4 hours to replace the parts, it shows that the reactor is not mature enough.
But Lei Tiantang and Kuafu spent a lot of energy to develop the materials. How can such problems occur? They have passed the rigorous limit test, OK!
So Kuafu is now replacing good parts randomly selected. After all, what we are testing is whether the replacement function of the parts is effective, as long as the replaced parts are OK.
"Boss, when are you going to start cooperating with the country after our fusion reactor has passed all our tests?" Kuafu asked while operating the robot.
