Chapter 80 95 Seconds

While waiting for the materials laboratory to prepare the first superconducting graphene wire, Lu Yi stayed in the physics laboratory to participate in the research of star imitators.

"According to the data analysis of the plasma turbulence mathematical model, the No. 97 fixed coil needs to be slightly deflected to the left by 0.181 degrees."

The imitation device was started every day for more than ten days. Lu Yi and a group of scientific research dogs wore thick radiation-proof suits and entered the imitation device placement area. While inspecting the imitation device tomorrow, replacing the equipment components with severe damage, they also used micrometers to adjust the external magnetic field coil.

In the stellar imitator, in addition to a small number of coils that are active adjustments and are subject to real-time adjustments controlled by the system when the stellar imitator is started, most of them are fixed coils. These coils are generally only adjusted when the stellar imitator is optimized.

"Huang Sheng, Lin Qiang just adjusted the No. 52 fixed coil and checked it again to see if the adjustment is qualified and fixed. Lin Qiang, come and check my No. 97 fixed coil."

Holding the micrometer, he carefully adjusted the coil to the exact position and fixed it to death. Instead of being privileged because he was the boss, Lu Yi took the initiative to invite other researchers to check the adjustments of others.

As a coil that generates a constrained magnetic field, this is one of the most important components of a star-like device. Each adjustment will bring about a change in the shape of the magnetic field.

This thing is not careless at all. A terrifying plasma with a temperature of up to 100 million degrees Celsius is responsible for restraint. If there is a problem with the adjustment error or jitter during startup and operation, then if there is a problem with the test, it will be a safety accident in serious cases.

"Boss, you said that after we adjusted the external magnetic field coil and control parameters of Tomorrow's imitation device based on the plasma turbulence model, can the constraint time exceed 100 seconds?"

The boss held the adjustment method in his hand, carefully compared the parameters of the No. 52 fixed coil, and then turned his head and asked Lu Yi.

"There is no big problem. After all, the WEGA star imitator is the predecessor of the spiral stone 7-X. It is not as advanced as the spiral stone 7-X in design, but there are also technologies that should be available."

Before adjusting the star imitator based on the plasma turbulence model, under the suggestion of two engineers who dug up from Map Lab, everyone learned more specific structure and technical principles of the star imitator, and also found out that they were familiar with using their own knowledge to adjust the star imitator.

The test is started every day, and after the test, the star-like damage is checked, and then he dives into the collected data.

For more than half a month, I finally relied on my own ability to reduce the discharge time of the imitation device in less than 3 seconds, but occasionally it was less than 1 second, and successfully stabilized at about 6 seconds.

It was not until this time that everyone began to adjust the external magnetic field coil and control algorithm parameters based on the plasma turbulence model combined with the parameters of the star-like device.

Such adjustment is not done in one step, because the coil adjustment means that the shape of the magnetic field changes, so that the plasma will also change accordingly.

Although this change cannot escape the model of plasma turbulence, it means that the star-like device needs to be adjusted continuously based on the latest data from the experiment.

This is the same as the discharge time of the Map Lab's spiral stone 7-X for more than one hour is not achieved after the plasma model breaks through, but it has only reached more than one hour after multiple adjustments.

Only after multiple adjustments can the imitator achieve the optimal state, maximize the plasma turbulence model, and minimize the impact of plasma turbulence.

"Okay, get it done. Go back and check how the control algorithm is adjusted, and then conduct the first power-on test after the adjustment today!"

Lu Yi took the adjustment plan and checked all the coils that needed to be adjusted, looked at the damaged components that had just been replaced, and then he asked everyone to go back to the control room after confirming that there was no problem.

"Two beauties, no problem."

When he went back to the control room, Lu Yi took off his helmet, touched the sweat from his forehead and asked Lin Meng and Zhang Qing in front of the console.

"After adjusting, the mathematical model of the adjustment and changes was also uploaded to the public area of ​​the laboratory intranet. You can download and take a look."

Lin Meng confirmed the last number, determined to save the control algorithm, stood up and said with a smile to Lu Yi.

As soon as these words came out, other researchers in the surrounding physics laboratory couldn't wait to pick up their computers and connect them to the intranet, log in to the account to download the mathematical model uploaded by Lin Meng.

Mathematicians are good at data level. During this period, Professor Lin has led mathematical groups to model and analyze the data obtained by the physics laboratory.

He carried a mathematician who was a Fields Medal winner with him, and this treatment was not even available in the Map Lab.

Otherwise, if Lu Yi and the others want to understand the characteristics of the tomorrow's imitation star device and make adjustments, the efficiency of improvement will not be so fast, and every adjustment plan will not be so accurate.

"The next time you adjust the imitation star device coil, you can let more professional personnel go there, what are you, a boss who is so good at it?"

Seeing Lu Yi's sweaty look, Zhang Qing helped him take the protective helmet in Lu Yi's hand, while Lin Meng was very accustomed to taking a few tissues to help Lu Yi wipe the sweat off his head.

In this scene, looking at the other scientific research dogs in the surrounding physics laboratory, they couldn't help but turn their heads sadly.

"Okay, Brother Hu should have results, and I shouldn't be here in the next few days."

Lu Yi nodded. Hu Feng's first superconducting graphene wire has been in place for so long and it should be news. Then the biological laboratory also needs to go and take a look.

"I'll take a shower first, you check and start the imitation device."

After chatting with Lin Meng and Zhang Qing for a few words, Lu Yi walked towards the bathroom. The thick radiation-proof suit felt it was necessary to complain and add an air conditioner temperature control module.

After Lu Yi took the shower and changed into a set of clothes and returned to the laboratory, the imitation device had already started. The light band on the screen that was still bright after multiple filters made him squint his eyes.

"How effective is it? How much has the ion irradiation detected on the inner wall decreased?" Lu Yi walked to the stellar imitation monitor center and asked.

"The ion irradiation detected by the inner wall was reduced by 48.9%, which reduced the energy temperature of the inner wall material by 31.7%.

The researcher responsible for monitoring the data quickly answered several data, just as a strong solar magnetic field cannot perfectly bind all particles, and the same is true for the constrained magnetic field of the imitator.

During operation, there will always be a very small part of the plasma penetrating the magnetic field, which acts on the inner wall material and causes the inner wall material to heat up, resulting in changes in material properties.

This is one of the difficulties of controlled nuclear fusion, and the significance of the plasma turbulence model lies in this.

It can make the constrained magnetic field of the controllable nuclear fusion device more efficient in constraining plasma, reduce plasma penetrating magnetic field, reduce the loss of magnetic field energy, and improve energy efficiency.

Time passes quietly, and every second, the running stellar device generates a large amount of data, magnetic field change data, internal wall material change data, particle filtering situation, and reaction data of internal nuclear fusion of the stellar device...

Through the high-sensitivity sensor on the stellarizer, these data are continuously collected and then transmitted to this side of the console.

One minute! This time the imitation device starts and ignites the fusion time to one minute.

On the ground, the supercomputer on the third floor of the five-story building is slowly operating, and the powerful computing power is perfectly and accurately fine-tuning the imitator in real time according to the predetermined control parameters.

In 76 seconds, the line graph displayed on the screen continued to rise and began to gradually approach the cordon.

In 89 seconds, everyone held their breath. Although the discharge time was different from the previous few seconds of the test, the linear chart at that time rose straight and now it was winding, but as the cordon became closer, everyone still couldn't help but feel nervous.

In 95 seconds, the inner wall material was the first to cross the safety cordon, the preset safety program of the imitator was started, and the beast in the low roar quickly calmed down...
