Chapter 626 Status Quo of Fusion Reactors

March 24th.

The materials and equipment ordered by Yinhe Energy to the Nuclear Industry Group more than a year ago have been delivered.

Under Ye Bin's plan, the foundation of the nuclear fusion experiment center was laid as early as last year, and the materials and equipment were ready for installation and testing.

However, even if it is not a large-scale nuclear fusion research, the nuclear fusion research that Galaxy Energy is going to carry out, but the size and volume of the device are not small.

The orders for materials and equipment from the Nuclear Industry Group are being delivered one after another, and today is the last batch.

During the delivery of this order, Galaxy Energy Company has already assembled most of the components of the nuclear fusion experimental device named 'Galaxy 1'.

The main components and subsystems of this experimental device include: toroidal field magnets and polar field magnets, vacuum chamber and its pumping system, power supply system, device and plasma control system, neutral beam and microwave heating and current-driven systems, jet and projectile injection systems, divertors and apertures, diagnostic and data acquisition and processing systems, cladding systems, tritium systems, radiation protection systems, remote operation and maintenance systems, etc.

Of course, there are also supporting energy flood discharge systems and generator sets.

From the perspective of components and subsystems, to put it bluntly, this is a kind of annular container that uses magnetic confinement to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

Most of the things can actually be ordered from the nuclear industry group.

But some classified materials and equipment, such as their new superconductors, cladding materials, special diverting materials, as well as devices and equipment such as plasma control systems and radiation protection systems, are impossible to sell to Galaxy Energy, especially The device that controls the system.

However, the good thing is that the superconductor and cladding materials, the Galaxy Energy Company is arranging for the company to manufacture, and they are more advanced and advanced, and they do not need to be provided by the nuclear industry group.

As for the related equipment of the control system, the equipment is secondary, and the main thing is the control scheme. If there is a set of plasma control schemes, the research on nuclear fusion will be multiplied with half the effort.

It's like a good computer, with a good operating system, can run more smoothly and simply.

Coincidentally, Galaxy Energy is also doing its own research on the control plan, with Yang Xuedong's guidance from time to time. After more than a year, the researchers finally figured out a set that is very suitable for 'Galaxy 1' in a simulated state. control system scheme.

Of course, it is only simulated in calculation and has not been measured.

The radiation protection system is also a top priority, which represents a safety issue.

After all, the 'Galaxy 1' experimental device is only the first generation of nuclear fusion devices,

The main reaction is that under the ultra-high temperature of deuterium and tritium, electrons get rid of the shackles of the nucleus, attract and collide together, and polymerize with each other to generate new and heavier atoms, and release gamma rays and high-energy neutrons.

At this time, the high-energy neutron is the source of radiation. It is extremely fast and has no electricity, so it does not interact with the magnetic field. If there is no good means to prevent it from running around, it will penetrate all nearby matter. The body is on it, weaker than paper.

The same is true of gamma rays, which are all harmful to the human body.

Therefore, the strength of the radiation protection system is one of the prerequisites for whether nuclear fusion can be controlled and commercialized.

In this regard, Galaxy Energy also has a very good protection plan. Among them, an ultra-low activity material with Bose-Einstein condensed matter properties can effectively clamp high-energy neutrons and gamma rays.

In the general direction, some important nuclear industry groups will not provide materials and equipment that Galaxy Energy Company can produce by itself. With Yang Xuedong as guidance, it is nothing more than a waste of time and money.

After all components are installed and all systems are debugged, the 'Galaxy 1' experimental device will begin to enter various ignition test states.

Chen Fang and Yang Xuedong chatted and learned that this is also a long process, because no matter how well the researchers of the 'Galaxy 1' experimental device have deducted the details, when the actual measurement begins, the device will definitely appear extreme. There are many problems, there is no doubt that even if Yang Xuedong has the technical information given by Chen Fang, it is unavoidable.

However, if there is a problem, solve the problem. As long as the existing problems are solved one by one, there will be no problem in the end.

As soon as possible, in August and September this year, you should be able to see the successfully ignited 'Galaxy 1' experimental device, and then list it as a commercial sequence.

At the latest, at the end of the year, or even next year and the year after, it depends on the actual situation. After all, this is the greatest energy project in human history.

Once successful, mankind will be able to reasonably control the speed and scale of nuclear fusion, and achieve continuous and stable energy output, which is related to whether human civilization can continue indefinitely in the future.

Not long after staying in Rongcheng, Chen Fang returned to Shanghai the next day.

...

Yanjing time, March 25, Friday, 22:30.

Jin Mao Building, in the familiar conference room.

Chen Fang asked Luo Xu at this time: "What was the stock price of Mok Pharmaceuticals yesterday?"

Luo Xu said with a smile: "Yesterday's closing price was US$22.3. Two days ago, the relevant departments of the US stock market found out that their financial fraud was not as much as that announced by the Coyote Company, but it also reached US$40 billion.

On top of that, they are facing $23 billion in losses from shareholders demanding repayments, and many of the financial institutions that lent them to them are now asking them for repayments, adding to the woes.

Anyway, the credibility of Mok Pharmaceuticals has completely collapsed at present, and the stock price has completely collapsed. "

At this time, there was a brisk voice from Long Yijun: "The opening price is open, the opening price of Mok Pharmaceuticals today is $18.2, a drop of $4.1, a drop of 18.3% compared to yesterday's.

Compared with our short line, the overall decline was $185.3, and the total decline reached 91%.

The total market value of Mork Pharmaceuticals has evaporated by more than 450 billion US dollars, officially falling below 50 billion US dollars, leaving only 46 billion US dollars! "

Although the market value does not really measure the actual value of a company, the loss of the market value of a listed company means that the potential and value in the eyes of others are gone, and the future is worrying.

Perhaps, the current net worth of Mork Pharmaceuticals is hundreds of billions of dollars, or even more, but so what?

At this point in time, even if everyone knew that it was a cake, they would subconsciously suspect that it was Xiang Xiang disguised as a cake.

Once this time is reached, there is no need to determine that it is Xiang, as long as there are seeds of doubt, it will be enough.
