"General Engineer Lu, after the inspection is completed, you can ignite the fire!"

Reconfirming the situation of the demonstration reactor again, an engineer came over to report respectfully.

"good."

Lu Yi nodded, and the shooting records of countless cameras around him were recorded. He walked steadily to the operating table in front, and his fingers were gently placed on a red start button.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Yi quietly closed his eyes and was silent for two seconds. Finally, his finger pressed the button that was not sure whether to open the starting point of history or put an end to history.

No one knows whether heaven or hell is ahead, but no one can stop the giant wheel of the times from here.

Inside the core wrapped in a thick water reservoir, the dark cabin was lit up instantly when Lu Yi pressed the button, and liquid helium flowed through the superconducting graphene coil, taking away heat to lower the temperature below the superconducting temperature. The circuit valve opened, and a powerful current surged into the coil and traveled. An invisible magnetic field generated inside the core of the star-like device...

Hydrogen is injected, and the microwave heating component heats the temperature to 100 million degrees Celsius. The orange-red plasma ribbon is twisting its beautiful figure.

After using hydrogen to determine that the core is running correctly, the deuterium and tritium element is injected again, and the power of the microwave heating component instantly increases to the maximum stable plasma temperature. At a high temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, the injected deuterium and tritium element begins to polymerize, and the orange-red plasma ribbon instantly bursts out a strong light. The most terrifying energy in this star system was born. It is terrifying, but it is also bound by the magnetic restriction magnetic field!

Fusion generates a large number of high-energy neutrons that rush out of the constrained magnetic field, and the beryllium ceramic alloy that hits the first inner wall slows down. The energy released by the neutron deceleration makes the inner wall temperature increase wildly, but when the internal cooling system continuously takes away heat, the temperature rises to 2200 degrees Celsius and stabilizes, only in the slight fluctuations up and down...

"The constrained magnetic field is stable, and the plasma is operating normally!"

"The fusion reaction is normal, and the filter is working normally!"

"The temperature of the first inner wall is normal!"

"The reaction between neutrons and lithium is normal, the lithium neutron recovery system is normal, and the tritium element generated by the reaction has been collected, and tritium is recovered and then injected into the plasma!"

"No neutron radiation was detected outside the core, and the reactor was safe and normal!"

"The temperature of the pressurized water reactor is increasing rapidly, and high-temperature and high-pressure steam is driving the steam turbine to rotate at high speed. The generator set has detected the current! Report again, the generator set has detected the current!"

The large screen of the demonstration relay control center is constantly refreshing the running data, and the notification from relevant engineers is also ringing, and the sounds from nervousness, calmness, excitement, and finally uncontrollably yelling...

Success! We succeeded!

The scene was boiling, and thunderous applause was heard on the live videos in an instant, and the light from the controllable nuclear fusion truly shone on the whole world!

Lu Yi also smiled on his face, feeling happy about his achievements, and did not want to express his emotions at this time, which disturbed everyone's interest.

After everyone cheered and vented their excitement, Lu Yi clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention, and said with a smile: "Don't cheer for a while, everyone calculates the energy efficiency and don't create a demonstration that is not qualified."

"Yes." All the engineers present responded and continued to work with a smile on their faces.

Unlike thermal power plants, hydropower plants or even fission reactors, nuclear fusion needs to maintain the existence of magnetically constrained magnetic fields and there is energy expenditure. Only when the energy output is greater than the energy expenditure, can it be a qualified nuclear fusion reactor.

However, no one is worried about this. Based on the first-hand data detected, based on experience, we can roughly estimate that the energy income is positive, and it is quite positive.

"The energy efficiency is 41.6%, which is a bit low."

A few minutes later, Lu Yi obtained the energy efficiency of this demonstration reactor.

This data represents that only 41.6% of the energy generated by DT fusion is eventually converted into electrical energy.

According to the boiling water technology of those experts from the Nuclear Industry Group, the fission reactor can reach 50% and 8.4% after using high-temperature gas-cooled reactors and sodium fast cooling technology, which seriously exceeds the consumption of the constrained magnetic field.

"General Engineer Lu, this is the first time that the ignition power generation is generated, and the various functional areas of the pressure-water reactor have not been optimized and adjusted."

The boiling water expert of the Nuclear Industry Group saw Lu Yi’s dissatisfaction and hurriedly explained: “According to our calculations, the efficiency after completing the adjustment and optimization can reach 46%.

"I don't mean to blame me. Send this data to the side of Shangjing." Lu Yi smiled and didn't blame anything.

"Yes, then we're going to work hard." The engineer breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and continued to devote himself to his busy work.

The demonstration reactor ignition and power generation were successful, not only the laboratory was busy, but also the news departments of the entire China and the Ministry of Information also followed the scheduled plan as soon as possible, guarding against economic fluctuations and preparing relevant news reports.

These are all prepared in advance and have a dedicated team to take charge, and there is no need for the help of core scientists such as Lu Yi and others.

"It's only 46% of the energy efficiency, which is too low."

Lu Yi and his group walked out, and Rupert looked back at the engineers busy collecting data, and couldn't help but sigh.

If you don’t realize the problem of thermal pollution, the energy conversion efficiency of 0.46 is OK, but after you realize the problem of thermal pollution, the conversion rate of 0.46 is very heartbreaking.

Because this means that only 46 parts of 100 energy are converted into electrical energy, while the remaining 54 energy will be released into the environment in the form of radiation, mechanical heat dissipation, mechanical conduction friction loss, etc.

Of course, the 46 parts of energy that become electrical energy is not stable. They will be transmitted in the power supply. Due to the wire resistance problem, part of it becomes heat release. After reaching the electrical terminal, the heat dissipation and consumption of the electrical appliance will be completely released into the environment.

Using mathematical models, it can be roughly analyzed that the final destination of 93 to 95% of the energy produced by humans is to be discharged into the environment, and less than 7% will be silent inside the matter and will not affect the environment.

But no matter what, an increase in energy production efficiency means that the proportion of effective energy obtained has increased, rather than being released into the environment in vain to become a hidden danger.

"The next step is to use mature magnetic fluid to generate electricity and the efficiency can reach nearly 70, which is a very good conversion efficiency."

Lu Yi shook his head and said, "So compared to the loss of energy conversion, we should focus more on the loss of energy transmission and the efficiency of energy consumption."

Although more than 93% of the energy is ultimately the environment, efficiency is also crucial in this process, which determines the amount of energy used and the degree of waste.

If the efficiency is low, it takes more energy to do one thing. If the efficiency is doubled, then I can do two things with the same energy. Under the premise of a thermal pollution crisis and a limited amount of energy use, this gap is very strategic.

"Wait, Lu Lu, what are you talking about mysteriously? What are you calculating in the high load state these days?"

Zhang Qing next to him heard the conversation between Lu Yi and the other two, looked at the quiet laboratory building, and seemed to realize something in her heart.

Lu Yi did not answer Zhang Qing's question as soon as possible. He suddenly realized that the roar of supercomputer that he had been used to in the past few days had quietly stopped.

"The problem of thermal pollution." Lu Yi briefly said to Zhang Qing, then greeted Rupert and said: "The results of the simulation analysis are out. Let's go to the supercomputer room!"

"Thermal pollution? Earth's heat dissipation? Supercomputer has been simulating and analyzing the Earth's environmental model these days?"

Zhang Qing, who was studying the space gravitational wave project, was stunned. The next moment, she realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly chased Lu Yi with Lin Meng and Li Yashan.

"Old Wei, what's wrong?"

Hu Feng, who was studying the materials, saw that his face became so ugly, and Wei Hong was also stunned when he asked him a little confused.

During this period, Wei Hong looked for Hu Feng in researching aerospace engines with many materials. The two brothers are already very familiar with each other.

“A very bad and scary thing.”
