I accidentally got a two-way foil in my second level civilization

Chapter 37: The suddenly soaring temperature curve



All the researchers in the central control room felt a sudden jolt in their hearts!

Troubleshooting!

There was actually a malfunction!

Just as all the researchers were confused, Lü Yongchang operated the computer in front of him a few times.

The next moment, a temperature curve graph appeared on the large screen in the central control room.

When they saw the abnormal curve within just a few seconds, all the researchers couldn't help but gasp!

Lü Yongchang's face was gloomy as he input the curve data into the computer in front of him.

In just a few seconds, the verification result appeared on the large screen.

Seeing the temperature curve that was about to rise at a 90 - degree slope ten minutes later, everyone present fell silent.

Such a temperature - rising curve... if Lu Hezheng hadn't discovered it in advance, the Pangu - 1 Fusion Reactor might not have been saved!

"Professor Lu, if I remember correctly, this temperature curve should be showing the temperature of the magnetohydrodynamic generator, right?"

Lü Yongchang frowned tightly and said after pondering for a moment.

After more than ten minutes of calming down, Lu Hezheng's heartbeat gradually returned to normal. Looking at the temperature curve on the large screen in front of him, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

Hearing Lü Yongchang's question, Lu Hezheng came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, it's the temperature of the magnetohydrodynamic generator."

Lü Yongchang's frown deepened.

What could be the reason for the abnormal temperature of the magnetohydrodynamic generator?

"Yongchang, come and take a look. The power of the generator wasn't right just now!"

Just as Lü Yongchang was deep in thought, Fang Xu's voice came over.

Lü Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly ran towards the place where Fang Xu was.

At this time, Fang Xu had already pulled up the power - change curve graph of the generator when the fusion reaction occurred just now.

The power curve was very stable, always maintaining a power - generation rate of around 10%.

It seemed that there was no problem.

After all, this was just an ignition test, and not much fusion fuel was put in.

According to calculations, the operating power of the generator should be around 10% - 15% of the rated power.

But precisely this extremely normal - looking curve hid a huge problem!

The moment he saw this smooth curve, Lü Yongchang understood what Fang Xu meant!

"I understand... there's a problem with the generator!"

The researcher in charge of monitoring the generator power looked at the smooth curve on the computer screen in confusion.

"Th - this... Professor Lü, the curve looks quite smooth to me. There shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Hearing the researcher's question, Lü Yongchang said with a serious face.

"On the contrary, such a smooth curve means there's a problem!"

As he spoke, Lü Yongchang dragged the mouse and pulled the curve graph to the far left.

"Look, the curve amplitude here is normal!"

"At 9:18 in the morning, the fusion reaction started, and the reactor began to output energy. At the same time, the magnetohydrodynamic generator also started operating, and the power - generation rate began to rise slowly."

Then, Lü Yongchang dragged the mouse again and moved the time to 9:23 in the morning.

"From 9:23, for a full five minutes, the generator power remained at the 10% rated - power mark."

"And at this time, the fusion reaction in the reactor was the most intense!"

"According to calculations, the generator power should have reached 15%, but it has been stable at 10%!"

Hearing this, the researcher also understood.

His face instantly turned pale, and his lips trembling slightly, he looked at Lü Yongchang and stammered, "Prof - Professor Lü, I... I didn't notice..."

Lü Yongchang's mouth twitched slightly, and he showed a reassuring smile, reaching out to pat the researcher on the shoulder. "It's okay. Relax. With such a huge thing, it's normal for there to be some problems."

"You should really thank Professor Lu. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid in another ten minutes, we'd all be in big trouble!"

As he spoke, Lü Yongchang looked at Lu Hezheng beside him with a smile.

Lu Hezheng was stunned for a moment and quickly waved his hands. "No, no, no. This is just what I should do!"

Lü Yongchang waved his hand and said seriously, "Professor Lu, don't say that.

For something like this, you had the courage to step forward and point out the problem in the first place. You really deserve our gratitude."

After all, stopping the fusion reactor at that time was something an ordinary person didn't have the courage to do!

...

Inside the magnetohydrodynamic generator room of the Pangu - 1.

Lü Yongchang and a group of researchers were all frowning tightly at this time.

After several days of investigation, they only came to one conclusion.

The magnetohydrodynamic generator set was all normal.

At least, physically speaking, all the magnetohydrodynamic generators had no malfunctions.

"This is going to be troublesome..."

Lü Yongchang frowned tightly and said in a low voice.

The worst - case scenario had occurred.

In such a large - scale device, malfunctions were not terrifying.

It could even be said that every large - scale machine would have more or less some malfunctions.

But not being able to find out where the malfunction was, that was really terrifying!

At this time, the research team was shrouded in a low - pressure atmosphere.

Every researcher's face was filled with a gloomy look.

"The brightest star in the night sky..."

Suddenly, a mobile - phone ringtone broke the silent atmosphere in the generator room.

Lü Yongchang quickly took out his phone from his pocket.

It was an encrypted number.

His eyes moved slightly, and he answered the call.

"Hello, may I ask who you are..."

Before Lü Yongchang could finish speaking, an old and hoarse voice came from the phone receiver.

"Cough... Yongchang, this is Councilman Li."

Lü Yongchang's expression instantly became serious, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Councilman Li?!"

In just an instant, all the researchers' eyes turned towards Lü Yongchang!

Fang Xu beside him looked at him in surprise, with a hint of amazement and envy in his eyes.

It was actually a call from Councilman Li!

"Yongchang, I heard that there's a small problem with the Pangu - 1 Fusion Reactor?"

Hearing what Councilman Li said, a hint of bitterness flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes.

Well!

The problem with the generator hadn't been solved for so long, and it had even reached Councilman Li's ears!

"We've run into some trouble, but don't worry. I'll solve it as soon as possible."

There was a moment of silence on the receiver.

Then, Councilman Li's voice came again.

"Yongchang, this can't be rushed. Take your time to investigate. The Xia Kingdom isn't in a hurry at this moment."

"Be sure to carry out the troubleshooting work under the premise of ensuring your own safety!"

"Do you understand?"

Although Councilman Li's words were very serious, they made Lü Yongchang feel a bit warm inside.

"Don't worry, Councilman Li!"

Hearing Lü Yongchang's words, Councilman Li let out a slight sigh. "It doesn't matter if the progress of the Pangu - 1 is a bit slow. The key is... the lives of you and those scientific researchers around you are the most important."

"I know that every nuclear project has more or less some risks."

"But I want you to remember one thing.

The future of the Xia Kingdom needs scientists like you to support it. So, be sure to pay attention to safety!"

Lü Yongchang was slightly moved.

He never expected that his status in Councilman Li's heart was so high at this time!

"Don't worry, Councilman Li. If there's any danger, I'll definitely arrange for everyone to evacuate immediately!" he said in a deep voice. "I promise you that there will be no accidents with the Pangu - 1 Fusion Reactor!"
