Chapter 35 Pangu One

The three-day public call for names has come to an end.

The result of the solicitation of names was also placed on the desk of Lu Yongchang, the chief engineer of the project.

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

He looked at the sweaty staff in front of him speechlessly: "This name...can't be changed again?"

"Pai Daxinghao, do you think this thing can really be the name of the nuclear fusion demonstration reactor?!"

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

The staff member blushed, nodded hastily and said, "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.

"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 name is not bad!"

"Ok, deal!"

...

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!

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

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 the gap!

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.

"This is how to do ah……"

The camera zooms in.

An old man in his sixties with graying temples frowned at the green code on the computer screen in front of him, 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 Xia Guo Academy of Sciences.

When he was young, he once presided over the team to develop a control program for controlled nuclear fission, and because of this, he was elected as an academician of the Xia Guo Academy of Sciences in one fell swoop!

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

Next to Yuan Hongwei was a young man in his thirties. This was Yuan Hongwei's "closed disciple". It can be said that he had 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.

"Old Yuan, there is no rush for this thing. 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, Old Yuan's face froze, and the white beard at the corner of his mouth trembled slightly.

"This...why are you not in a hurry!"

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

"Right now, everyone in the whole institute is looking at us helplessly!"

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

After a while, the young man also sighed deeply: "Mr. Yuan, I didn't say the words of frustration."

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

"In my opinion, it's almost impossible!"

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

How could he not know this truth.

But he knew better how much Xia Guo attached importance to controllable nuclear fusion technology at this time!

As an academician of Xia Guo Academy of Sciences, he is unwilling to give up!

"Tuk tuk!"

There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

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

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

There was a bit of doubt in Yuan Lao's eyes, then he cleared his throat and shouted loudly towards the door: "Ahem... who is it?!"

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

Elder Yuan was stunned again, and then came to his senses, reaching out to open the door hastily.

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

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

After entering the main control room, Lu Yongchang glanced around.

When he saw the glowing green computers on the desk, he sighed deeply.

"Old Yuan, the master control program of the fusion reactor cannot be completed yet?"

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

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, then asked again.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"Of course there are difficulties!"

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

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

Afterwards, Mr. Yuan straightened his expression and turned to look at Lu Yongchang: "Professor Lu, give us some more time. Fusion reactors are different from fission reactors. Things to consider are a bit complicated."

Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man beside Yuan Lao: "Yuan Lao, this is your student, right?"

Yuan Lao nodded and introduced: "Su Cheng, the talent is not bad."

Lu Yongchang smiled kindly at Su Cheng, and asked, "Can you tell me about the difficulties you just mentioned?"

"Perhaps I can help you out."

Su Cheng subconsciously glanced at Yuan Lao.

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

"Professor Lu, I won't say much about the difference between fusion reactors and fission reactors. You must know more about this than I do."

Lu Yongchang nodded slightly.

Su Cheng continued: "In the 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 a reactor, the motion of high-temperature plasma is extremely complex."

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

"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 grasp the NS equation."

"This is the reason why the nuclear fusion master control program has been unable to be completed."
