144: Chapter 144 Production Support! Demonstrating True Character and Upholding Original Aspirations, Setting Sail for a New Journey (3)

After resolving the temperature fluctuation issue in the Cooling System, the Nuclear Fusion Power Station's operation returned to stability, with all parameters remaining within the preset range. The morning's operational support work was a success despite the close call; it not only successfully handled a sudden anomaly and tested the team's emergency response and coordination capabilities but also accumulated valuable experience for future operational support.

At noon, Mu Li walked into the cafeteria with everyone. After spending time together during the team building in Qingyu Town, the relationships among them had become more harmonious and tacit, and there were many more lighthearted topics during lunch. Some were chatting about the fun of beachcombing during the team building, talking about the small seafood they had dug up with reminiscent smiles; some were discussing the morning's operational data and exchanging insights from the monitoring process; others were planning their next vacation, agreeing to go to Qingyu Town again to see the Bihai Lantian and feel the sea breeze.

When the cafeteria auntie saw everyone come in, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face. She hurried over, carrying a freshly cooked pot of braised pork that smelled delicious. "Engineer Mu, young men, today is the first day of production, it must have been very hard, right? I specially made braised pork and sweet and sour fish for you; they're all very nourishing, so hurry and try some!"

"Thank you, Auntie. You are so thoughtful, thank you for your hard work." Mu Li smiled as he took the tray, his tone gentle. He found an empty seat and sat down with the others, a rare look of relaxation on his face.

Zhang Hongyuan sat opposite Mu Li. While picking up a piece of braised pork, he said, "Engineer Mu, although the sudden situation this morning was a false alarm, it reminded us that we really cannot let our guard down during the initial operational support of the commissioning. I have already arranged for personnel from the construction crew to form an Emergency Repair Team. They are on standby 24 hours a day, equipped with a full set of tools and spare parts. If any equipment failure or other issues occur, they can rush to the scene immediately to handle it, ensuring the project's operation isn't affected."

"That is very well thought out." Mu Li nodded, his tone carrying approval. "The Emergency Repair Team must conduct regular drills and become familiar with the handling procedures for various types of failures to ensure they can respond quickly and handle issues efficiently. Additionally, strengthen communication and coordination with the Receiving Stations in surrounding cities. Establish a real-time communication mechanism to stay updated on the energy transmission status. If there are any problems, both parties should coordinate to solve them promptly."

"Don't worry, I have already communicated with the person in charge of the Receiving Station and established a dedicated WeChat group for communication. I've assigned specific personnel to handle the coordination. Any situation will be reported in the group immediately to ensure the smooth flow of information," Zhang Hongyuan said, a look of relief appearing on his face.

Lunch ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Everyone ate their fill and, carrying plenty of energy, returned to their respective posts to continue the afternoon's operational support work. Every face was filled with drive.

The focus of the afternoon's work was to conduct a comprehensive inspection of all systems in the Nuclear Fusion Power Station to ensure the equipment was in good operating condition and to identify potential risk points. Mu Li personally led the members of the Technical Team and the Emergency Repair Team. Changing into work clothes and putting on safety helmets, they wove through the tall equipment with steady and firm steps. As he walked, he carefully checked the operating status of every piece of equipment, stopping from time to time to gently touch the equipment's casing to feel if the temperature was normal, or leaning in close to listen for steady operating sounds. He also spoke in detail with the personnel on duty to learn about the equipment's operation and daily inspection details.

In the Nuclear Reactor Core Equipment Area, Mu Li carefully examined the operating status of the Core Reaction Module. His gaze fell on the equipment's instruments as he seriously verified various parameters. He then asked the duty personnel, "Since the Dynamic Adjustment Program of the Cooling System was adjusted this morning, has the operating status of the Core Reaction Module remained stable? Have there been any more fluctuations in energy output?"

The duty personnel immediately stood up straight and reported respectfully, "Engineer Mu, it has been very stable. The energy output fluctuations have been controlled within the safe range and no more anomalies have occurred. Everything is operating normally."

"Good. Continue to monitor closely and record the data every half hour. Report any abnormal situation immediately; there must be no delay," Mu Li said. At the same time, he took out a notebook he carried with him and seriously recorded the relevant situation. His handwriting was neat and clear, with every piece of data marked explicitly.

Afterward, Mu Li went to the Energy Transmission Pre-processing Module Area. Zhao Yu was conducting an inspection there, holding an inspection record sheet. While checking the equipment, he was recording seriously. Seeing Mu Li approach, he immediately put down the record sheet and hurried over, his tone respectful yet slightly nervous. "Engineer Mu, the equipment here is in good operating condition, the transmission efficiency is stable, and no anomalies have occurred."

Mu Li nodded but didn't speak immediately. Instead, he walked to the equipment, carefully checked the instrument data, and then bent down to inspect the connection lines. Suddenly, he pointed to a line interface and said seriously, "Zhao Yu, look, this line interface is a bit loose. Although it hasn't affected the equipment's operation yet, if it continues to run at full load for a long time, it is very likely to lead to poor contact, affecting energy transmission efficiency, and could even cause hidden dangers like line heating or short circuits."

Zhao Yu looked in the direction Mu Li was pointing, and his face instantly turned red. A look of guilt appeared on his face as he immediately said, "Understood, Engineer Mu. I will arrange for personnel to reinforce it right away. I wasn't careful enough during my inspection just now and overlooked this detail. I will definitely pay more attention in the future, be meticulous, and never let any potential hazard slip by."

"It's good that you can acknowledge your mistake." Mu Li patted Zhao Yu's shoulder, his tone softening with a hint of expectation. "Inspection work must be meticulous and conscientious. You cannot overlook any potential risk point; even a small loose interface can lead to a major failure. We shoulder the responsibility for the nation's energy security; we must prevent problems before they happen to ensure the project is foolproof."

Zhao Yu nodded vigorously, his heart filled with guilt and determination. He immediately took out his walkie-talkie and arranged for personnel to bring tools to reinforce the line interface. He stayed on-site to wait for them while carefully re-checking the surrounding lines to rule out other potential issues.

Mu Li continued to lead the group in the inspection, checking the Cooling System, energy storage system, control system, and several other areas in succession. Along the way, relying on his rich experience, he discovered and resolved multiple potential problems such as blocked equipment vents, aging valve seals, and insecurely fixed lines. Every time he found a problem, he personally guided everyone in handling it, patiently explaining the possible hazards and preventive measures. This benefited the team members greatly and further enhanced their inspection capabilities and risk prevention awareness.

At dusk, as the sun dipped low, the golden afterglow spilled over the equipment of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station, giving it a warm and solemn luster. The comprehensive inspection was successfully completed. Mu Li led everyone back to the Main Control Room for a brief summary meeting. The lights in the Main Control Room were bright, and everyone sat together, listening intently to Mu Li's summary.

"Today was the first day of the project's production and operation. Overall, the operating status was stable, and everyone's performance was excellent. You successfully handled the sudden anomaly this morning and completed the comprehensive inspection, which is commendable." Mu Li's tone was gentle at first but gradually became serious. "But at the same time, some problems were exposed, such as the inspection work not being meticulous enough and the anticipation of system interconnectivity being insufficient. Although these problems did not cause serious consequences, they have sounded an alarm for us."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, before continuing, "Going forward, we must further optimize the operational support plan, strengthen team member training, and improve everyone's professional capabilities and sense of responsibility. The Technical Team should optimize the monitoring plan as soon as possible, focusing on strengthening the linked monitoring of the Core Reaction Module and the Cooling System, and adding predictive functions. The Inspection Team must refine the inspection process and clarify inspection priorities to ensure that every piece of equipment and every line receives a comprehensive check, leaving no potential risk point behind."

"Understood!" everyone responded in unison, their voices tinged with guilt but also a firm determination to improve. Each of them secretly vowed to be more rigorous and meticulous in their future work.

"In addition, although the temperature fluctuation problem in the Cooling System this noon was successfully resolved, it also made us realize that there is still room for optimization in the existing Dynamic Adjustment Program." Mu Li continued, his gaze landing on Lin Wei. "Lin Wei, lead the members of the Technical Team to work overtime tonight to optimize the Dynamic Adjustment Program. Based on the energy output characteristics of the Core Reaction Module, further improve the precision and response speed of the adjustments to ensure better handling of energy output fluctuations and the stable operation of the Cooling System."

"Okay, Engineer Mu. We will work overtime tonight to optimize it and will definitely complete the task on time to ensure the optimized program can be put into use," Lin Wei said with a nod. Her tone was firm, and although there was a hint of fatigue on her face, her eyes were full of fighting spirit.

After the summary meeting ended, everyone threw themselves into their respective tasks without a single complaint. Members of the Technical Team stayed in the Main Control Room, opened their computers, and began optimizing the Dynamic Adjustment Program, carefully analyzing data and adjusting parameters. Members of the Inspection Team organized the inspection records, sorted through the problems found today, and refined tomorrow's inspection process and priorities. Members of the Emergency Repair Team checked their tools and spare parts to ensure everything was in good condition and sufficient to respond to any sudden situations.

Mu Li did not leave the Main Control Room; instead, he stayed to optimize the Dynamic Adjustment Program with the Technical Team. Sitting at a computer, he leaned slightly forward, his eyes locked onto the data on the screen. He carefully analyzed the energy output characteristics of the Core Reaction Module and, combined with the Cooling System's operating parameters, proposed several optimization ideas. He patiently discussed and exchanged ideas with everyone, guiding them in adjusting the program parameters and conducting simulation tests.

Late at night, the project site gradually grew quiet. Only the Main Control Room remained brightly lit, with the sound of keyboard clicks and low discussions rising and falling, breaking the silence of the night. Mu Li looked at the constantly optimizing program data on the screen, his eyes full of focus. His fingertips tapped lightly on the keyboard; occasionally he would stop, frowning in thought. There was no trace of fatigue on his face, only the rigor and responsibility for his work. He knew that only by doing every detail to the extreme and optimizing every program to perfection could the long-term stable operation of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station be ensured, living up to the country's trust and the team's expectations.

After more than three hours of effort, the optimization of the Dynamic Adjustment Program was finally complete. Through simulation testing, the optimized program's response speed increased by 30%, and the adjustment precision was also greatly improved. It could better handle the energy output fluctuations of the Core Reaction Module; even if subtle fluctuations occurred, it could quickly adjust the coolant flow to ensure the Cooling System's temperature remained stable within the preset range.

"Engineer Mu, the optimized program passed the tests! All indicators meet the requirements and it can be put into use!" Lin Wei reported excitedly. Her eyes showed fatigue, but they were also filled with a great sense of accomplishment. All the hard work of the past few days turned into gratification at this moment.

"Good! Hard work, everyone." Mu Li stood up and stretched. A gratified smile appeared on his face, and his tone was full of affirmation. "Put the optimized program into operation now, and arrange for specific personnel to closely monitor the Cooling System's temperature data to ensure normal operation."

The technical personnel immediately operated the computers to put the optimized Dynamic Adjustment Program into operation. On the screen, the Cooling System's temperature data became even more stable. Even when the Core Reaction Module's energy output showed subtle fluctuations, the temperature could quickly return to the preset range without any further fluctuations.

"Great! The effect of the optimized program is so significant! We don't have to worry about the Cooling System's temperature fluctuations anymore!" Zhao Yu said excitedly, a bright smile appearing on his face as much of his fatigue dissipated.

Mu Li nodded, a weight finally lifting from his heart, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He checked the time—it was already past eleven at night—and said to everyone, "It's getting late. Everyone, go back and rest. Get a good night's sleep and recharge your energy. Arrange for two people to stay on duty tonight to closely monitor the operating data and record it every hour. Report any situation to me immediately."

"Okay, Engineer Mu!" Everyone stood up. Though tired, their faces were beaming with satisfied smiles. Successfully optimizing the program and resolving a potential risk point gave them more confidence in the future operational support work and made them feel that all their hard work was worth it.

Mu Li watched everyone's departing figures, his heart full of warmth and pride. This team, after the tempering of project construction, the struggle of debugging, and the bonding of team building, had become increasingly united and capable. Everyone was contributing silently and giving their all, guarding this Nuclear Fusion Power Station with perseverance and responsibility. He believed that as long as everyone worked together and fought side by side, there were no difficulties that couldn't be overcome, and they could ensure the project's long-term stable operation.

Mu Li did not go back to rest immediately. Instead, he walked to the large screen again and carefully checked the operating data of all systems. After confirming that all parameters were stable within the preset range and there were no anomalies, he picked up his safety helmet, put it on gently, walked out of the Main Control Room, and headed toward the staff dormitory. In the night, the equipment of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station shimmered with a silver luster, reflecting the stars in the night sky, as if narrating this extraordinary journey of construction, debugging, and escorting, while also witnessing the growth and perseverance of this team.
