Today (March 28), the reporter learned from China National Nuclear Corporation that the new generation of artificial sun "China Circulation III" achieved a nucleus and electron temperature exceeding 100 million degrees for the first time, and the comprehensive parameters have jumped significantly, and China's controllable nuclear fusion technology has made significant progress.

"China Circulation No. 3" is a large scientific device independently developed by my country. Its energy generation principle is similar to the sun's luminous and heat emitting, so it is called the new generation of artificial sun.

The latest experimental data shows that my country's nuclear fusion device has achieved parameter levels of 117 million degrees of nuclear temperature and 160 million degrees of electron temperature for the first time, marking an important step in China's controlled nuclear fusion to engineering application.

Zhong Wulu, chief designer of China National Nuclear Corporation's "China Circulation No. 3": Our experiment has achieved "double 100 million degrees", and the comprehensive parameters have also jumped significantly, marking the advancement of my country's nuclear fusion research into combustion experiments. The equipment and systems that we independently developed, such as heating, control and diagnosis, were put into operation for the first time, and the relevant technical indicators reached the forefront of the world and created many new records in my country's nuclear fusion research.

Experts said that artificial solar fusion reaction releases huge energy, rich fusion resources reserves, and the main products are clean and safe, and are called "the ideal energy for the future of mankind." Advancing into combustion experiments means that the core link of the application of controlled nuclear fusion. In the next step, scientific researchers will upgrade the capabilities of the "China Circulation No. 3" device to further obtain core key data for controlled nuclear fusion reactions.
