Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

As reflected in the theoretical design,

After the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor was built, it was so huge that it seemed like a wonder of the times.

Its main body is mainly lying on the bottom of a large crater on the back of the moon, and with the supporting systems around its main body, it is crowded with this huge crater and overflows at the same time.

It can be said that this is an engineering miracle that can only be created after the development of the intelligent era reaches its peak.

In order to ensure the energy supply in the early stage of ignition and achieve ignition, the helium 3 reactor, which is already large in size, is a small part of the overall project of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor.

Compared with the previous generation of helium-3 fusion reactors, they are dwarfed by the size of the heavy-nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, and are not outstanding compared with the supporting system parts surrounding the heavy-nuclear fusion demonstration reactor.

Of course, with the development of science and technology, bigger is not always better.

It is precisely because the technology is not advanced enough that the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor was forced to have a terrifying and exaggerated size after it was built.

But this didn't affect it. When everyone gradually approached this huge object that stretched from the bottom of the crater from the moon's surface,

Both the vision and the mind were strongly impacted at the same time.

Compared with the creation of human technology, it is huge and more like a hill made of metal.

Because of its huge size, when some media reported its shocking appearance,

They all use pun-like words - 'Heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor - another peak in the history of human science and technology. ’

However, whether people are shocked by it or nervous about it.

This is also another peak in the history of science and technology of the Research Institute, and it is the moment of final judgment.

——After Suigu mobilized a large amount of productivity and completed the construction of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor in a short period of time,

After many rounds of intense and careful testing,

Qiusuo Research Institute did not waste any more time.

May 1989.

The Qiusuo Research Institute has launched the first operational experiment of a heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor.

Modao naturally participated and presided over the conduct of this operational test.

Due to the location selection of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, the command hall for operating the test was also located at the lunar base.

Mo Dao, a group of researchers from the Qiusuo Research Institute who had participated in the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project also arrived on the moon in advance to witness the arrival of this moment.

"...According to the scale of our current demonstration reactor, we don't know how big the final voyage spacecraft will be."

"Then build it as big as possible."

A core researcher stood next to Mo Dao. Although he was nervous, he looked at the pictures sent back from the scene and smiled and said something joking,

Mo Dao smiled and agreed.

Looking at the time again, it was already the scheduled time for the first test run.

"Let's get started."

Mo Dao, as the general person in charge of this operational test, announced the order to start the operational test.

Then, Suigu and some researchers responsible for this operational test naturally began to execute the order.

On the back of the moon, crawling inside the giant thing in the crater,

A complex but complete system of various parts began to operate.

The majestic energy began to awaken and release even greater energy in this creation, the pinnacle of human technology.

At a macro level,

After receiving the instructions, the various systems of the heavy-nuclear fusion demonstration reactor started operating in near-perfect cooperation.

At a micro level,

In the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, the reactants were poured in advance,

The conditions for the reaction to begin are met.

Unprecedented high temperatures broke out in the core area of ​​this heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor.

Fusion begins and then spreads rapidly.

"The reactor ignited successfully!"

In the command hall, a high-pitched broadcast sounded,

Then there was huge applause.

Then, it quickly became quiet again.

A group of researchers continued to pay close attention nervously to the large amount of data returned by a large number of monitoring instruments.

Pay special attention to the key data changes in the part of the system you are responsible for.

At this moment,

After the operation of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor started,

The researchers present could do very little.

Or just wait for time to pass and the demonstration reactor operation to continue,

Or just being nervous, paying attention to the operating status of the demonstration reactor.

After all, in the daily operation of a fusion reactor, as long as there is no malfunction, there are very few areas that require human intervention.

Mo Dao stood in the command hall,

He glanced at the researchers, and then looked at the returned data displayed on the virtual projection in the command hall.

The data compiled and summarized by Suigu,

You can see it very clearly,

All systems and parts of the heavy-nuclear fusion demonstration reactor that is now in operation are under considerable pressure.

The majestic energy released by the heavy nuclear fusion is constantly testing this somewhat complex system.

However, it can also be seen that the demonstration reactor operating at this stage is basically in line with the expectations of the Qiusuo Research Institute's theoretical design.

There is also a certain margin left in each system and each part.

This ensures that the majestic energy released by nuclear fusion is always locked where it should be.

"It has been connected to the power generation system and power is beginning to be released."

Another exciting and shocking broadcast sounded,

The movement at the demonstration reactor site was a bit loud.

The majestic energy generated by heavy nuclear fusion is converted into exaggerated electricity,

Even now that battery technology has been iterated many times, it is obviously impossible to store all of this power.

Electricity is either converted into mechanical energy or into something else and is quickly consumed.

Also at this time,

The helium 3 fusion reactor, the energy supply device of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, shut down.

The heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor consumes reactants and completes its self-cycle.

Mo Dao looked at the picture of the demonstration pile and smiled again.

For Mo Dao, there is actually no need to wait for this experiment to be completed.

On the data returned immediately after ignition,

Mo Dao has already been able to see the final results of this operational test.

..."...The scheduled operation time was completed in one hour and thirty minutes, and the heavy-nuclear fusion demonstration reactor began to execute the shutdown procedure."

"Shutdown procedure has been executed."

About two hours after running the test,

Suigu fed back information about the shutdown of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor.

Only at this moment,

The researchers in the command hall no longer cheered or applauded as before.

Instead, it was quiet for a long time.

Finally, all eyes focused on Mo Dao.

Mo Dao faced the researchers and smiled.

"This first operational test of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor was a complete success."

"The expected goals of this operational test were achieved."

"...Heavy nuclear fusion technology has been realized at this moment after a long period of time."

"Thank you to all the researchers for their great efforts and sacrifices on this long-running project."

After Mo Dao's few brief words.

finally,

The entire command hall burst into loud cheers.

Heavy nuclear fusion technology is realized!

…

Heavy nuclear fusion technology is the last major difficulty on the long voyage.

In addition, although there are indeed many problems that need to be solved,

But for Mo Dao, there is always some clue for the Qiusuo Research Institute at this moment.

After the realization of heavy nuclear fusion technology and the successful completion of the first operational test of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor,

Time seems like pressing the fast forward button again.

In August of that year,

After multiple operations of the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor,

The Qiusuo Research Institute has connected the Lin-2 electric propulsion system to the heavy nuclear fusion demonstration reactor.

For the first time, a true "heavy nuclear fusion propulsion system" was realized.
