Chen Zeshu briefed the experimental plan, "It will probably take half an hour, during which the reaction inside will become intense, and this process will last for about ten minutes or so. Then we'll slowly control and mitigate it, which marks the completion."
"The whole experiment will take roughly two hours."
The senior leadership listened and nodded their heads.
Next, the command center just waited for the nuclear experiment to proceed. Many people were initially eager for the ignition to end. As the technicians reported that the reaction had started, they realized their anticipation was pointless. Whatever was happening inside the nuclear test device was completely invisible to them; they could only rely on the technician's updates to understand the progress.
During the intense reaction, only the technicians from the Nuclear Institute team were busy; everyone else simply waited calmly.
Then came the final phase of the experiment.
