Chapter 1221: Lightning King Vincent
Legs - the appearance is just decoration, people above will not understand.
Only those who don’t know the goods will think it is industrial style, while those who know the goods know that it is a primitive and rough aesthetic, just like strong liquor, which is stimulating at first but easy to get drunk.
Vincent, feeling better again, put on the Slytherin locket and raised the caduceus above his head.
Raymond, who saw this scene through the surveillance camera in the laboratory, turned his neck stiffly and looked at William standing next to him, "Mr. Wayne, what is going on?"
"Uh..." William was quite embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
Before the air was about to freeze, the surveillance footage changed.
The originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy, and dark clouds began to gather towards the Callum Science Center.
Raymond was stunned. "Mr. Snaith, what kind of tricks is Mr. Wayne playing?"
"Well..." William could probably guess, "Should... maybe... could be... summoning lightning?"
Raymond and the researchers were stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly.
"Mr. Snaith, you are such a joke."
Outside the Science Center,
Vincent concentrated all his energy, trying to expand the weather spell to a wider area.
His physical strength was drained in an instant, and the long-lost feeling of fatigue gave him a clearer understanding of Dumbledore's power.
When Dumbledore was stabbed in the back by Barty the Younger, he was still able to endure the pain and cast a weather spell with a very wide range. His strong willpower is admirable.
Vincent gripped the raised double-snake staff tightly and shouted the spell: "Atmospheric!"
Dark clouds gathered at an alarming speed and concentrated above his head.
Accompanied by rolling thunder, the sky darkened completely, as if a thunderstorm was about to come at any time.
The first lightning struck, but miraculously it stopped in mid-air.
“No…” Vincent gritted his teeth, “It’s not enough.”
The energy fluctuations of natural lightning are too large, and its duration is only tens to hundreds of microseconds. Although the instantaneous power is extremely high, it is difficult to capture.
The spectacular scene that seemed like a miracle made Raymond in the laboratory subconsciously raise his hand and slap himself hard.
"I'm not dreaming, am I? How is this possible..."
Another huge thunder sounded, and dense lightning lit up the dark sky, leaving only the dazzling light on the surveillance screen.
Everyone was waiting anxiously, including Vincent outside.
He didn't have as powerful magic as Dumbledore, but he could make up for the difference with numbers, allowing the lightning in the sky to continue to be used for his own benefit.
A few minutes later,
The lightning in the sky finally stopped freezing. They attracted each other like magnets and gathered into a beam of light that went straight to the sky.
When the beam of light fell, the whole world was quiet.
The huge electric current instantly reaches the transmission device in the laboratory and is converted into pure plasma, which is then safely transported into the ring reactor tightly wrapped in fine gold.
The deuterium-tritium fuel is completely ionized under ultra-high temperature, forming a plasma composed of deuterium-tritium ions and free electrons. The reactor's annular magnetic field confines the charged particles in the center of the vacuum chamber, moving along the magnetic lines of force. The diffusion across the magnetic lines of force is suppressed by the magnetic field and is stably constrained.
The fusion reaction begins, and uncharged high-energy neutrons move in a straight line at a speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second. They slow down in the reactor's blanket, and all their kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, driving the steam turbines buried underground to generate electricity.
The researchers stared at the big screen with great excitement, praying that the fusion reaction could continue.
Because every second that passes is creating a new record.
5 seconds passed, 10 seconds passed...
The turbine is still generating electricity, it's a success, the experiment was a success, they succeeded.
Hundreds of researchers cheered, and Raymond hugged William tightly with excitement.
"This is a great success destined to go down in human history!"
This is the first time that humans have achieved deuterium-tritium fusion in controlled nuclear fusion, which is a milestone and marks the transition of nuclear fusion research from deuterium-deuterium experiments to practical fuel.
In other words, from this moment on, controlled nuclear fusion is no longer a fantasy, and the dream of all mankind will be realized in the near future.
"Beep, beep, beep--" The current transmission device sounded an alarm, and the current required to maintain the experiment was dropping sharply.
1 second is considered successful, even if the Q value is lower than 1, that is, the output energy is lower than the input energy.
What's more, the fusion reaction has lasted for more than 20 seconds, and the input energy is still natural lightning, so the Q value is definitely greater than 1.
The alarm soon stopped because the input of electric current could no longer maintain the conversion of plasma, and the reactor tightly wrapped in adamantium finally stopped the fusion reaction.
A total of 29 seconds, output of megajoules, and a Q value of 4.62.
Cheers resounded throughout the laboratory again. William, excited, hugged Raymond tightly and hung on him like a koala.
After a brief moment of excitement, they all calmed down and cleaned up the mess.
Although deuterium-tritium fusion does not produce greenhouse gases, helium ash is non-radioactive and has stable chemical properties and can be directly and safely discharged, if it is not cleaned up in time, it will affect the service life of the reactor.
"By the way, Mr. Wayne!" Raymond looked down at the surveillance footage outside the science center.
The sky was no longer dark, and most of the dark clouds had dissipated.
Vincent fell to the ground and didn't look well.
William quickly let go of his hand and strode out of the laboratory with Raymond.
With the help of the double snake staff and the locket's secondary amplification, Vincent's condition when casting the large-scale weather spell was not good, but it was not too bad either.
He was barely able to stay awake, but his energy was temporarily drained and he was unable to move.
Seeing William and Raymond rushing out, he was still in the mood to joke, "How is it? Is my trick okay?"
William breathed a sigh of relief, took off his glasses and wiped the tears from his face, "Mr. Wayne, I'm so glad you're okay."
Raymond's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry in the next second.
Vincent struggled to sit up. "How was the experiment? Did we succeed?"
"We..." Raymond sniffed, "We succeeded. The fusion reaction lasted 29 seconds, releasing a total of megajoules."
1 kilowatt-hour is equal to 3.6 megajoules, and a megajoule is approximately equal to 4278 kilowatt-hours.
An average household consumes about 300 kWh of electricity per month, which can meet their electricity needs for 14 months.
If converted into gasoline, it is approximately equal to 481 liters, which can fill up 10 cars with a 50-liter tank capacity.
Vincent frowned.
The light column formed by countless lightning bolts only released this little energy. It seems that this is because the resistance of the wire transmitting current is too large, resulting in the failure of plasma confinement and the immediate termination of the fusion reaction.
There is a solution to this problem. We just need to apply graphene to the wire.
