"Does this little thing have such a high power - generation capacity?!"
The councilor looked at the experimental machine of the small - scale fusion reactor in the center of the factory building in surprise.
1000 megawatts was an extremely terrifying power - generation capacity!
You know, the power of a household diesel generator is probably around 3 - 10 kilowatts.
Even the U.S. - proud "Nimitz" - class aircraft carrier has a total power of only about 280 megawatts!
In other words, this black cylinder, about one - and - a - half - person - height in front of him, could effortlessly power an aircraft carrier!
Thinking of this, a flash of intense heat appeared in the councilor's eyes!
If this technology became mature...
Given time, China would have absolute say on Earth!
"When will the experiment start?"
The councilor asked eagerly.
Fang Xu beside him showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
After all, this was a nuclear experiment!
After struggling for a while, he said softly, "Councilor, how about... you stay a bit farther away?"
"Don't underestimate this black cylinder. What's inside is liquid lithium!"
"If there's any accident..."
A look of horror flashed in the councilor's eyes.
Liquid lithium plus nuclear fusion...
Even a layman like him knew how dangerous this was!
But he still slowly shook his head, "No need!"
"Councilor!" Fang Xu became anxious immediately, "Councilor, your safety..."
The councilor glanced at Fang Xu indifferently.
The unwavering look on his face instantly interrupted the words Fang Xu hadn't spoken yet.
"Don't worry about me. Since Professor Lv Yongchang hasn't backed down, how can I, the councilor, be a coward?"
"Yongchang! Start the experiment!"
Lv Yongchang beside him nodded slightly, then turned his head and shouted to several researchers in charge of the operation, "Start the experiment!"
"Start the heating device!"
As Lv Yongchang's voice fell, a researcher quickly lowered his head and pressed several buttons on the console in front of him.
A low humming sound started to ring.
"What's this..."
A hint of doubt flashed in the councilor's eyes.
Lv Yongchang quickly explained, "The melting point of lithium metal is 180.54℃. Therefore, before the fusion reactor starts, it needs a period of pre - heating."
The councilor nodded slightly.
"About how long does it take?"
"About ten minutes! It should be possible to speed it up when the technology matures!"
"Not bad, not bad." The councilor nodded repeatedly, and the amazement in his eyes grew stronger.
A ten - minute pre - heating time was completely acceptable!
After all, under normal circumstances, this kind of fusion reactor would only be installed on aircraft carriers or submarines.
For aircraft carriers and submarines, a start - up time of more than ten minutes was extremely short!
"Professor Lv, all the lithium metal has melted!"
The shout of a researcher came from the side.
Hearing this, Lv Yongchang's expression became a bit more serious.
"Start the ultrasonic generator!"
"Inject the deuterium - tritium mixed gas!"
As Lv Yongchang's orders were given, inside the black container, a string of fine bubbles slowly rose from the bottom.
Under the oscillation of the ultrasonic waves, the bubbles began to contract regularly!
When the bubbles contracted to the extreme, a dazzling light emitted from the core of the bubbles!
At that moment, the temperature inside the bubbles directly rose to 150 million degrees Celsius!
The deuterium - tritium fusion reaction was ignited!
"Detected a large number of neutrons!"
A researcher shouted excitedly!
At the same time, the neutron dosimeter beside it also issued a series of alarm sounds!
Looking at the smoothly running curve on the computer screen beside him, Lv Yongchang slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"Is this... a success?"
The councilor leaned his head towards the computer screen, looking at the dense curves and numbers on it, swallowed slightly, and asked in a low voice.
"It's a success!"
Lv Yongchang showed a bit of joy on his face and said firmly!
At the same time, deep in his consciousness, a glow of fluorescent green slowly emerged.
The next moment, his consciousness once again came to that mysterious fluorescent - green space.
On the tree - like structure, a crystal - clear white light slowly lit up.
[Miniaturization technology of fusion reactor: initially mastered]
...
The first experiment lasted about a minute.
Since there was no matching generator installed, the energy generated dissipated into the surrounding air through the heat - dissipation device.
After the experiment came to an end, Lv Yongchang pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said to Councilor Li beside him, "Councilor, I have something to tell you."
Councilor Li's eyebrows slightly raised, then he nodded, "Go ahead!"
Fang Xu, who was standing beside him, was about to leave when Lv Yongchang grabbed his arm, "Brother Xu, you should also hear this!"
Seeing this scene, the doubt in Councilor Li's eyes became even stronger.
"Councilor, I need to gather all the scientific research personnel in the aerospace field of China!"
Councilor Li's pupils suddenly constricted.
All the scientific research personnel in the aerospace field!?
This was a big move!
"What are you going to do?"
After a moment of silence, Councilor Li asked softly.
Lv Yongchang didn't hesitate at all and said softly, "Spaceplane."
"The transportation efficiency of traditional rockets is too low. China needs a more advanced transportation method!"
After hesitating for a moment, he added, "Councilor, if possible, I need the engineers who are in charge of manufacturing the J - 30!"
"Also, the engineers who manufacture the Long March 10 carrier rocket!"
As soon as the words fell, Fang Xu beside him suddenly turned his head to look at Lv Yongchang and whispered urgently, "Yongchang! These engineers are national treasures, and we can't act rashly!"
After that, Fang Xu quickly apologized to the councilor, "Councilor, Yongchang doesn't know the rules..."
The councilor gently raised his hand and interrupted Fang Xu's words.
The next moment, he looked meaningfully at Lv Yongchang with a firm expression, and nodded with a smile.
"Okay!"
"Since you need these engineers, I'll transfer them to you!"
Fang Xu stood there dumbfounded.
They were crazy!
Everyone was crazy!
These engineers were treasures of China!
Could they be lent out so casually?!
"Then... what about the research on the J - 30 and the Long March 10?" Fang Xu looked at Councilor Li in disbelief.
As an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fang Xu naturally knew some secrets that ordinary people didn't know.
China had started the research projects of the J - 30 and the Long March 10 five years ago!
After five years, Fang Xu estimated that these two extremely important projects should have reached the most critical stage!
Councilor Li chuckled, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "Stop them!"
"Stop them? When did you stop them?!" Fang Xu's eyes widened in shock!
Could this kind of research task be stopped?
Was Councilor Li bluffing him?!
Looking at Fang Xu's surprised look, a faint smile appeared on the councilor's face, then he said firmly.
"Stop them now!"
"I said so!"
