362: This road! It works!
After three months of various meetings and research.
After various discussions, including Director Yu, these experts and professors were already quite trusting regarding Guo Hao's controllable nuclear fusion technology route.
At this time, they were already quite trusting!
Although they were still unclear if Guo Hao's approach could truly lead to the successful construction of a Controlled nuclear fusion reactor.
But at least based on the current data, the probability of their success was really not low!
Academician Zhou and these senior figures highly agreed with Guo Hao's ideas, and they even put forward many constructive suggestions.
This also allowed Guo Hao to refine some of his own ideas.
After all, no matter how you look at it, he had only been exposed to the controllable nuclear fusion technology route and started working on it.
It had only been half a year, while Academician Zhou and these people had been researching Controlled nuclear fusion for most of their lives.
With such a long period of research and immersion, some of their insights into Controlled nuclear fusion even far exceeded Guo Hao's.
Therefore, they could naturally offer many suggestions.
This was also why Guo Hao needed these experts and scholars.
Their strength was also a very important link in this process.
With their help, through continuous meetings, Guo Hao was able to better refine his ideas.
He would then bring his refined ideas back to the meetings to continue being topics of discussion.
Then everyone would discuss the potential technical difficulties they might encounter and perhaps find ways to solve them.
This was how meetings were originally meant to be.
Meetings themselves are places to raise and solve problems.
"The inspection of our core reactor has passed. It has been measured with instruments, and there is about a one-thousandth difference from what we expected."
Academician Zhou roughly informed Guo Hao.
"Then we need to correct the one-thousandth error."
Guo Hao nodded.
It is very normal for instruments to have errors.
It is impossible to have no errors at all, especially for this kind of core casting. The production of the core inside the reactor itself is already very difficult.
For such a large instrument, it is perfectly normal to have some deviation from what was expected.
Ideal data and real-world data are ultimately not the same thing.
Guo Hao was very clear about this in his heart; he understood this point very well.
"One-thousandth, the error is slightly larger, but it's acceptable. We will apply a one-thousandth correction to the data when the time comes."
Guo Hao said calmly.
"Regarding the superconducting coils, our team has tested them and they are expected to generate a strong magnetic field exceeding ten tesla.
It should be able to exceed our expectations."
Director Yu, who was nearby, also quickly said.
"Not bad! The magnetic field situation is very good!"
Guo Hao was very satisfied. It really lived up to being the magnetic wire formula he personally modified and the production equipment specially customized from the military.
Of course, Huaxing's manufacturing process was also quite good. Under large-scale production, the quality control was also so impressive.
The magnetic wires produced almost completely achieved his predetermined goals!
The Researchers nearby began reporting some data from inside the nuclear fusion reactor.
After the nuclear fusion reactor was built yesterday, they began analyzing and summarizing all the data.
After hearing the words of these Researchers, a smile appeared on Guo Hao's face.
"Since everything is going smoothly! Then our first nuclear fusion ignition experiment will be scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow!"
Guo Hao said seriously to the surrounding scientific Researchers.
"Okay, Director Guo!"
"Yes! Director Guo!"
At this moment, Guo Hao's heart was surging with emotion.
The outcome of this Controlled nuclear fusion experiment would almost determine whether humanity currently had a chance to break through the technical threshold of Controlled nuclear fusion!
If it could be solved, needless to say, it would be a truly monumental achievement that would benefit future generations!
If not... then it would only mean that in the short term, Controlled nuclear fusion could realistically be said to be truly impossible!
All of this would still depend on the experimental data from the day after tomorrow!
The third day.
As the Controlled nuclear fusion ignition approached, although Guo Hao was very excited in his heart.
But he remained calm as usual, finishing teaching a class to his Dr. and graduate students.
"Regarding the calculation direction, simply calculating doesn't have much meaning. You need to do it yourselves and verify the content of your calculations. If you are interested, go find Zhao Yang.
Go help out in the Laboratory. Alright, class dismissed!"
Saying this, Guo Hao directly left the office.
He got into Xu Yuan's car and headed straight for the Controlled nuclear fusion Research Center!
At this time, all parties were almost ready.
Guo Hao arrived at the control room.
Nuclear Engineers were conducting the final inspection of the interior, ensuring that everything inside was fine.
After all, even this experimental fully superconducting Tokamak.
It cost Guo Hao nearly eight billion!
This did not include the money for construction, labor costs, and many other miscellaneous expenses; it was purely the cost of building this fully superconducting Tokamak!
"Superconducting coils are normal!"
"Core reactor is normal!"
"First wall is normal."
...
Good news came one after another.
After confirming that everything was normal.
All Engineers left the interior of the Controlled nuclear fusion device.
"Ignition!"
Guo Hao said softly.
As Guo Hao spoke softly, all the surrounding Researchers began working rapidly!
The magnetic field was energized, and gradually the magnetic field became larger and larger!
And in the very center of the Controlled nuclear fusion device, the temperature was also rising rapidly.
One million degrees, five million degrees, ten million degrees, twenty million...
Guo Hao watched all the data on the huge control screen with slight tension.
It was completely different from the meltdown situation of EAST!
After all, for EAST, Guo Hao had already prepared for a meltdown from the beginning. Everything was just for research and data.
There was nothing to be nervous about.
But the situation now was different!
This Controlled nuclear fusion experimental device was built after he integrated countless pieces of knowledge!
If it succeeded, everything would be fine!
If it didn't succeed, then it would be a bit troublesome!
Thinking of this, there was a slight tension in Guo Hao's eyes.
Time passed minute by minute.
In the entire control room, everyone held their breath and stared at the control panel. The values on the graph fluctuated greatly.
One second, five seconds, ten seconds...
Director Yu silently chanted in his heart.
"One hundred seconds, two hundred seconds! Three hundred seconds!"
Looking at the situation on the System screen, Director Yu's eyes revealed strong surprise.
Four hundred seconds had already passed now!
It was actually still continuing!
What was going on with this experimental reactor???
Director Yu's eyes were somewhat shocked.
Putting everything else aside, based on the current situation, this experimental reactor was perfectly fine!
What was its target??
Director Yu was very curious!
Time passed.
Heat accumulation kept increasing, but it remained within the safe range.
