Chapter 35 Pangu No. 1

The three-day public call for names has ended.

The results of the nomination were also placed on the desk of Lu Yongchang, the project chief engineer.

Looking at the name in front of him, Lu Yongchang's mouth twitched slightly.

He looked at the sweaty staff in front of him with a speechless expression: "Can't this name... be changed again?"

"Patada Star, do you think this thing can really be the name of a nuclear fusion demonstration reactor?!"

"By the way, can I have a name?"

The staff member's face turned red and he nodded hurriedly: "Of course, of course it can be replaced!"

"You are the chief engineer, of course you have the right to name it!"

Lu Yongchang looked at the A4 paper in front of him that was filled with strange and weird names. He reached out and touched his chin, lost in thought.

The staff looked at Lu Yongchang in front of him with an uneasy expression.

To be honest, he was a little scared. Lu Yongchang also came up with a weird name for him!

After all, he knew Lu Yongchang's age.

"Well... let's call it Pangu!" Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly and he said, "Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor, how about it?"

"The creation of Pangu corresponds to the Xia Kingdom that has mastered controllable nuclear fusion."

The staff member's eyes moved slightly, and there was a bit of excitement on his face.

"This, this is a good name!"

"That's it!"

…

At this time, all the hardware facilities in the Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor have been installed.

In addition to four reactors, it is equipped with 20 sets of large magnetic fluid generator sets!

Each unit is equipped with 10 magnetic fluid generators.

The rated power generation power of each magnetic fluid generator is 2000MW!

After this conversion, the rated power generation power of the Pangu-1 fusion reactor has reached an astonishing 400,000 megawatts!

You know, the power generation of a Three Gorges Hydropower Station is only 22,500 megawatts!

A full 17 times difference!

This is the power of nuclear fusion!

However, no reaction occurred in the Pangu-1 fusion reactor at this time.

As for the reason... it lies in the main control program.

…

late at night.

"Why!"

A heavy sigh came from the internal control room of Pangu 1.

"What should I do..."

The camera zooms in.

An old man in his sixties with white temples frowned and looked at the green code on the computer screen in front of him. He shook his head from time to time, and then sighed deeply.

The old man's name is Yuan Hongwei, and he is an academician of the Xia Academy of Sciences.

When he was young, he led a team to develop a control program for controllable nuclear fission, and for this reason, he was elected as an academician of the Xia National Academy of Sciences!

As the only person in the Xia Kingdom with relevant experience, he was naturally invited to be the main person in charge of this controllable nuclear fusion master control program development task.

Next to Yuan Hongwei is a young man in his thirties. This is Yuan Hongwei's "closed disciple". It can be said that he has learned most of Yuan Hongwei's skills.

But at this moment, both of them looked at the computer screen in front of them with melancholy expressions.

"Mr. Yuan, this thing can't be rushed. The main control program for nuclear fission has been developed for more than a year. This is nuclear fusion!"

The young man comforted softly.

Hearing these words, Mr. Yuan's face froze, and the white beard at the corner of his mouth trembled slightly.

"This...why isn't this urgent?"

"This Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor is stuck here now!"

"Now, everyone in the entire institute is looking at us eagerly!"

Old Yuan's words caused the young man to fall into silence.

After a while, the young man also sighed deeply: "Mr. Yuan, it's not that I'm saying something depressing."

"To control the high-temperature plasma in the stellarator reactor, we must solve the turbulence problem that has troubled the physics community for countless years."

"In my opinion, this is almost impossible!"

There was a bit of bitterness in Mr. Yuan's eyes.

How could he not know this truth?

But he also knows how much Xia Guo attaches importance to controllable nuclear fusion technology at this time!

As an academician of the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences, he is unwilling to give up!

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"

There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

Mr. Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and walked towards the door of the control room.

"It's so late...Who else will come here..."

There was some doubt in Mr. Yuan's eyes, then he cleared his throat and shouted loudly toward the door: "Ahem...who is it?!"

"Mr. Yuan, it's me, Lu Yongchang."

Mr. Yuan was stunned again, then realized what he was doing and hurriedly reached out to open the door.

Outside the door, Lu Yongchang's eyes showed a bit of exhaustion, but there was a faint smile on his face.

"Professor Lu, it's so late, why are you here?" Mr. Yuan quickly turned sideways to welcome Lu Yongchang in.

Entering the main control room, Lu Yongchang glanced around.

When he saw the computers on his desk that were flashing green lights, he sighed deeply.

"Mr. Yuan, is the fusion reactor main control program still unable to be completed?"

Hearing Lu Yongchang's sigh, Mr. Yuan's eyes showed a bit of bitterness and he slowly shook his head.

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and asked again.

"Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"Of course there are difficulties!"

Before Mr. Yuan could speak, a young man in his thirties who had been standing aside spoke.

Old Yuan frowned slightly and scolded softly: "Su Cheng! What are you talking about!"

Then, Old Yuan straightened his expression and turned to look at Lv Yongchang: "Professor Lv, give us some more time. Fusion reactors are different from fission reactors. The things that need to be considered are a bit complicated."

Lv Yongchang raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man next to Old Yuan: "Old Yuan, is this your student?"

Old Yuan nodded and introduced: "Su Cheng, the talent is pretty good."

Lv Yongchang smiled at Su Cheng with a kind face and asked: "Can you tell me about the difficulties you just mentioned?"

"Maybe, I can help you solve it."

Su Cheng subconsciously glanced at Old Yuan.

Seeing that Old Yuan frowned and did not object, Su Cheng swallowed slightly and began to explain.

"Professor Lv, I won't say much about the difference between fusion reactors and fission reactors. I believe you know more about this than me."

Lv Yongchang nodded gently.

Su Cheng continued, "In a fission reactor, we only need to manipulate the control rods in the fission reactor to compensate for fuel consumption and adjust the reaction rate."

"But fusion reactors are different."

"In the reactor, the movement of high-temperature plasma is extremely complex."

"And this involves a problem that has plagued the physics community for decades, the turbulence problem."

"In other words, it is the Navier-Stokes equation (NS equation)."

"To achieve perfect control of the high-temperature plasma in the reactor, we must thoroughly master the NS equation."

"This is why the nuclear fusion master control program has not been completed."
