NOVEL NEXT Chapter 520
Chapter 525
Of course, in addition to the equipment necessary for the experiment, a special device was needed to supply the prototype of the plasma laser cannon!
That is… Target!
The reason why the plasma laser cannon is called a “cannon” is of course to be fired, not just for observation and play.
Then since it is a cannon, it must also have a suitable target as a target for plasma laser cannons! If this definite target does not exist, how can it be determined that there will be no other accidents during the final launch?
As an armament, since it is still in the process of research, it must ensure that every point is 100% free of problems!
Once on the battlefield, there are too many variables! Once there is a technical problem in any link, it may cause unimaginable consequences for everyone!
It’s like a very popular overseas song called Horse Nails and Kings.
Just because a horse spike was not made, it directly ruined the fate of a kingdom!
Of course, this situation is indeed a little too extreme, but this can also reflect the importance of the product, if there is no way to determine that a product is really 100% stable and controllable, then unless in special circumstances, otherwise such a product will never appear on the battlefield!
The reason why they want to make a plasma laser cannon is naturally because it can act on exoskeleton equipment and pose a sufficient threat to the military forces of other countries!
So… Every detail can never be relaxed!
“I hope we can survive to this step of launch this time.”
Constantly thinking about all the accidents that might happen in the next experiment, a rather helpless smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yu’s mouth.
Although the level of scientific researchers has improved, but his heart is actually not confident, in the previous integration test, even the launch step did not last, often still when the plasma laser cannon parts of the integration, the problem has appeared!
So this time, he didn’t dare to have too high expectations.
The plasma laser cannon can smoothly enter the firing process, even if the final launch step fails, he feels OK!
As long as it can ensure that every integration test can stably enter the launch step.
So next… All you need to do is stabilize the launch process at the end!
“Alas.”
He sighed helplessly, and immediately set his eyes on the target in the experimental site!
Don’t look at it is just a “target”, but the requirements for materials are not low at all!
The target core needs to have the right shape, size, density, purity and uniformity to guarantee effective coupling of the laser beam and maximum benefit from the fusion reaction!
If the design and preparation of the target core is not reasonable, it will directly lead to the unevenness and instability of the plasma!
Even… It also affects the focusing and transmission of the laser beam!
Once the material of the target cannot absorb the energy of the plasma laser cannon, there is a high probability of an accident!
This time, the target they used, also known as the target part, was a small special metal target containing some heavy hydrogen gas.
This part is the target that researchers want to attack and destroy, it simulates an enemy nuclear facility or weapon, and thanks to its special design, even if it is really bombarded by plasma laser cannons, it will not cause any large-scale explosion problems!
After all, this is just a laboratory.
If there is a large-scale explosion that causes a fire, or some other uncontrollable factor.
Then it is a major threat to the personal safety of Jiang Yi and other researchers!
The researchers in this institute are not pillars of the country! Threatening the personal safety of any person is a major loss for the country’s talents!
“Chief Engineer Lu, can we move on to the next step?”
“Well, let’s get started.”
Lu Yu bowed his head slightly and gave a look to the members of the research group.
Now that the assembly of the laser source part and the plasma magnetic field part has been completed, the next step is to carry out a preliminary integration test of this separate unit!
In other words, running both parts at the same time ensures that there are no problems if only these two links are run.
Only by ensuring this first can you ensure that it will continue to function properly after adding more materials in the future!
“Shizhh
The focus of this step is how to stably fuse the plasma magnetic field and the laser source, that is, how to make these two things do their respective work without interfering with each other!
“You should pay great attention to the stability and quality of the laser source!”
“The laser source must produce a high-power, high-frequency, high-quality laser beam, which can effectively heat and focus the heavy hydrogen target! Increased power by 6.71%.
“If the power of the laser source is insufficient and the frequency is unstable, it will affect the formation and maintenance of plasma, reducing the efficiency and reliability of the experiment!”
Professor Wang commanded loudly.
“Yes, Chief Engineer Lu, Professor Wang!”
The researchers were all staring at each other, seeing that the plasma magnetic field and laser source had begun to interfere with each other, and they all quickly began to maneuver on the console, ensuring that the possibility of accidental experiments was minimized.
“Chief Engineer Lu, don’t hide it.”
“It’s actually the first time I’ve dealt with a plasma laser machine with such a large power by myself, and I really don’t have any confidence in my heart.”
Seeing the plasma and laser sources interfering with each other, Professor Wang shook his head and said with a smile.
Before the vast majority of projects in the domestic industry, plasma laser equipment was used in industry, emphasizing more on the accuracy of plasma laser beams!
Stability is also important though.
But after all, that is only related to the usefulness of industrial cutting, and the power is limited. Therefore, the difficulty of controlling stability is far less difficult than the difficulty of this plasma laser cannon in the experimental site today!
Of course, Professor Wang, as one of the top bulls in the industry, although he has not practiced research projects with similar power, but the concept research of some papers has been done many times, so he has a certain bottom in his heart.
But practice and theory are, after all, two different things.
Looking at the dazzling light emitted by the high-power plasma magnetic field in front of him when it was integrated with the laser beam, a complex color inevitably flashed in his eyes.
“It’s okay, it’s the first time for all of us, haha.”
Lu Yu smiled lightly.
In order to improve the stability of the laser source, the last method is to optimize the design structure of the laser to improve the output power and efficiency of the laser.
This reduces the noise and wavefront distortion of the laser, improving the coherence and focus of the laser.
However, Lu Yu has done his best to control the design structure of the laser source within a range that is most suitable for the experiment, if he blindly increases the output power….
Then although there will be no problems in this step, in the subsequent experimental steps, it is inevitable that there will be some beam scattering problems.
So… Seeing the “rejection” that appeared in the current integration process, Lu Yudang even wanted to change the direction to solve this problem!
“Let’s strengthen the control and regulation of electromagnetic fields! 3.7% stronger increase!
“The magnetic field needs to produce a magnetic field that is strong enough and shaped enough to effectively constrain and regulate the spatial distribution and motion state of the plasma!”
“Once the strength of the electromagnetic field is not enough and the shape is not suitable, it will directly lead to the instability and loss of control of the plasma!”
Lu Yu spoke into the walkie-talkie and gave his own instructions.
Since there is no way to optimize again at the laser source, he shifted his attention to the plasma magnetic field, as long as the adjustment flexibility of the plasma magnetic field can be optimized, it can also solve the problem!
Lu Yu’s idea is very simple, that is, by improving the generation capacity and adjustment flexibility of electromagnetic fields, so as to reduce the loss and interference of electromagnetic fields, and strengthen the matching adaptability of electromagnetic fields!
As long as the matching adaptability of the electromagnetic field is smoothly raised, then only in this step of integrating the laser source, there will be no more problems!
“Yes, Chief Engineer Lu!”
After receiving Lu Yu’s order, the researchers quickly adjusted the intensity of the electromagnetic field directly according to Lu Yu’s instructions!
While increasing the intensity, efforts are made to ensure that the electromagnetic field can maintain a suitable shape during the fusion process with the laser source by controlling the degree of electromagnetic field stability.
Finally, after a long effort.
“Whew, it’s done, Chief Engineer Lu!”
“The data is stable, that’s it!”
“As long as the values of these two items can be controlled in this range at the same time, the plasma magnetic field will no longer interact with the laser source, and the original fault problem will disappear!”
Seeing them merge smoothly, the faces of the researchers showed a look of ecstasy!
Before they, they often broke down in one step!
Now that I have finally got a range, as long as the range is constrained, then the original trouble will no longer be a problem!
“Okay, the next step is to connect the diagnostic equipment again and simulate the success rate of diagnosis failure!”
Seeing the success of this step of the experiment, Lu Yu was also relieved, and the expression on his face suddenly relaxed a lot!
But… And that’s just the beginning.
The next research task will not be much simpler than this first step, and it still needs to be treated with great caution!
“Access diagnostic equipment!”
The researchers immediately conveyed the order layer by layer.
The diagnostic equipment that had been set up earlier was carefully plugged into the prototype of the plasma laser cannon.
The purpose of their experiment in this step is clear, that is, to confirm the accuracy and sensitivity of the diagnostic equipment.
Under experimental conditions, diagnostic equipment needs to conduct all-round observation and analysis of plasma from multiple angles and bands to effectively feedback the physical characteristics and kinetic behavior of plasma!
If the accuracy of the diagnostic equipment is not high and the sensitivity is not strong, it will affect the plasma data acquisition and processing, reducing the accuracy and scientificity of detection!
If it is a real battle, once a high-tech weapon such as a plasma laser cannon fails, if the diagnostic equipment can operate normally, it can find out where the problem occurs in advance and allow the operator of the exoskeleton equipment to repair it!
But if…. The diagnostic equipment of the plasma laser cannon does not work properly!
So even if the fault occurs, the plasma laser cannon will still be regarded as a weapon that can operate normally by the operator of the exoskeleton equipment, and when he arrives on the battlefield, he finds that his weapon cannot be used, what is the difference between this and sending it directly?
It’s like a modern street fight, only to find out that your gun is dead the moment you meet the enemy!
Isn’t this fatal?
And…. Compared with the latter situation, the probability of plasma laser cannon failure is definitely much greater!
After all, as a high-tech weapon, the requirements for materials and the environment are just as high!
So there is no need to say how important it is to detect faults in advance!
Regarding this step, Lu Yu’s idea is simple and crude.
That is to directly improve the measurement range and resolution of the diagnostic equipment, reduce the error noise of the diagnostic equipment, and further improve the synchronization and real-time of the diagnostic equipment!
As the experiment progressed, the team deliberately created a malfunction in the prototype.
The diagnostic equipment reacted quickly, directly reminding what the problem was, and the general method of how to solve the problem was also sent out through voice reminders!
“No problem.”
The diagnostic device ran smoothly, which also meant that the experimental process of this step came to a smooth end, and the researchers’ expressions became much more relaxed. This step is successfully completed, which means that it is one step closer to the final experimental results!
However, looking at the testing ground where the atmosphere gradually became relaxed, Lu Yu’s face faintly showed a worried look.
I don’t know why, a sense of foreboding suddenly spread out in his heart.
“Did I miss something critical that caused the study to have an error problem?”
He quickly went through all the rewards sent by the previous system in his mind, but he still didn’t find which piece was wrong.
“Professor Wang, what do you think of the current steps?”
Perhaps he felt that he didn’t seem to be able to detect the source of the problem, so he turned his gaze to Professor Wang on the side.
“I think there should be no problem with the research so far.”
“As for whether there are problems later, it depends on the specific experimental progress later.”
Professor Wang seemed to see Lu Yu’s concern, and gently reached out to pat Lu Yu’s shoulder, comforting him.
“Hmm.”
Lu Yu nodded.
In desperation, he can only put all his attention into the process of the experiment again, whether there is a problem, and you can know when the experiment continues!
“…”
