342: The Cold Guo Hao

A thousand seconds, it sounds like a lot.

But none of it was true ignition. It seemed like it was getting very close to ignition!

But if we keep going like this, ignition will never be possible.

No destruction, no construction!

Guo Hao needed EAST to bloom with its own hot sun in a short time!

Collect enough data to contribute sufficiently to his subsequent deductions!

He didn't have much affection for EAST.

“Let's go.”

Director Yu sighed slightly and said to the old friends around him.

He didn't really want to see EAST being violently modified like this. In Director Yu's opinion, such modifications caused too much damage to EAST. So far, the Institute of Fusion hadn't fully unleashed the potential of EAST.

As long as EAST could solve some problems, it was absolutely possible for it to achieve continuous ignition for hundreds of seconds, or even over ten minutes.

But the current violent modification had already changed EAST, and Director Yu felt a lot of pain in his heart.

Yet, on this matter, he had no right to speak.

Guo Hao watched the construction team on site, chatting idly with General Manager Huang beside him.

Guo Hao saw Director Yu and the others leave, but he didn't say anything to stop them.

Guo Hao could somewhat guess Director Yu's thoughts.

But Guo Hao also understood that there is no construction without destruction!

If it was just for scientific research, EAST was actually quite good. With this structure and materials, with just a few minor improvements, it might be able to achieve hundreds of seconds of ignition time and produce some world-shocking scientific results.

Writing a few papers would be very good.

But it was still very far from true ignition and true commercial reactor construction.

In fact, if experiments were conducted like this, commercial reactor construction would basically be impossible!

When General Manager Huang chatted with Guo Hao, his tone carried a hint of flattery.

After all, Guo Hao was now the Director of the Controlled nuclear fusion Preparatory Office!

So young, such a high rank!

According to the information General Manager Huang had gathered, this office was not ordinary. It was not subordinate to any ministry, but rather on the same level, an independent department!

Although the main powers and responsibilities of this department had not yet been fully announced.

But at least it was on the same level as the Dragon Academy of Sciences!

In other words, the current Guo Hao, such a young Guo Hao, around twenty years old, was already on par with the President of the Dragon Academy of Sciences in terms of rank!

What level of big shot was this?

General Manager Huang found it hard to imagine. The only thing he knew was that for Guo Hao to reach this level and status at such a young age, besides his own capabilities,

Behind him, there must be strong support from the high-level officials of Dragon Country.

Otherwise, even if he was capable, it would be impossible for him to achieve this status and power at twenty years old.

It was precisely because of this that General Manager Huang specifically came along this time, in order to meet Guo Hao, this young top-level big shot.

As of now, it could no longer be said that Guo Hao had unlimited prospects.

He had already grown up!

Only twenty years old!

He had already grown to this level!

General Manager Huang didn't dare to imagine what level he could reach in the future.

Guo Hao chatted with General Manager Huang for a while.

Watching the construction team working, Guo Hao strode over, and General Manager Huang followed behind him.

Observing the construction team's work carefully, Guo Hao didn't speak. Chief Engineer Sun beside him looked at Guo Hao, his brow slightly furrowed, but since Guo Hao didn't raise any questions, he didn't say much either.

Controlled nuclear fusion, theoretically, isn't very difficult. The real difficulty lies in the fields of engineering and Materials Science.

Materials Science was okay; Guo Hao had a way to solve it.

But in the field of engineering, Guo Hao needed to learn again.

He had previously studied some theoretical knowledge in the field of engineering, but theory is theory, and practice is practice. There was still a lot that Guo Hao needed to learn about modifying Controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactors.

Watching the actions of the construction team nearby, Guo Hao smiled and walked over to Chief Engineer Sun.

“Chief Engineer Sun, I still have some questions about nuclear engineering…”

As they spoke, Guo Hao and Chief Engineer Sun gradually started chatting. Guo Hao didn't hide what he didn't understand, asking Chief Engineer Sun about some construction difficulties that might be encountered in nuclear fusion engineering.

Even about issues concerning the workers, Guo Hao's studious attitude made Chief Engineer Sun's demeanor increasingly gentle.

Most technical experts like Leaders who understand technology, especially Leaders like Guo Hao who are not ashamed to ask questions. All experts will do their best to help solve problems.

After all, such Leaders are very rare.

The renovation project lasted for half a month.

During this half a month, Guo Hao basically stayed on the construction site. He had pretty much learned everything from Chief Engineer Sun.

During this period, Chief Engineer Sun was extremely shocked.

Mainly shocked by Guo Hao's learning speed and his ability to infer from one instance.

More importantly, as Guo Hao, who was young and held a high position, the world's top super genius, it could be said that he was renowned and immensely powerful.

He could actually humbly ask him about issues as small as concrete pouring, completely without the airs of a typical genius, able to specify problems down to how concrete should be mixed.

He could even personally mix concrete!

Coupled with Guo Hao's learning speed, it shocked Chief Engineer Sun beyond words.

After half a month, the renovation of EAST was finally nearing completion. Engineers from the Dragon Country Nuclear Industry Group were conducting the final inspections of the overall project.

“Thank you for your strong support, Engineers!”

Guo Hao smiled and said to the many Engineers from China National Nuclear Corporation in front of him.

“Without everyone's help, this renovation of EAST wouldn't have been completed so easily! Thank you all!”

“You're welcome, this is what we should do.”

Chief Engineer Sun said directly to Guo Hao.

“When are you planning to start the experiment? How about starting it while we're still here! That way, if there are any problems, we can make some modifications.”

“Mm, I thought so too!”

Guo Hao smiled.

“This afternoon! We'll start the first experiment directly this afternoon! The acceptance test is successful!”

“I'll treat everyone to lunch!”

After everyone had lunch together.

In the afternoon, including Director Yu and others, everyone appeared in EAST's control center.

“Director Guo, are you in such a hurry to experiment?”

Director Yu asked Guo Hao somewhat hesitantly.

“The renovation project has just finished. Shouldn't we wait a bit longer?”

“Wait for what? Everything that needed to be checked has been checked. If there are problems, that's what we need to modify now! What's the point of waiting?”

Guo Hao said calmly.
