373: Controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor! Successfully built!
Academician Huo shook his head, directly pouring cold water on the three old fellows.
Magnetohydrodynamic Generation is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, generating electricity by the relative motion of conductive fluid and a magnetic field.
By utilizing the conductive fluid cutting magnetic field lines at high speed as it passes through the magnetic field, an electromotive force is generated, thereby directly converting kinetic energy into electrical energy without the need for mechanical turbines.
However, the problem is indeed as Academician Huo said. Besides that, there is also the simplest problem: fusion neutron irradiation will damage the material of the Magnetohydrodynamic Generation channel.
Moreover, how to withstand high temperatures is also a huge problem.
"Indeed."
Academician Huo nodded.
He smiled.
"It seems we still have to boil water? Then for the design of this steam turbine, we will..."
Just as Academician Huo was about to propose the design of the steam turbine.
"Wait."
Guo Hao, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke at this moment.
Everyone's eyes simultaneously looked towards Guo Hao, and everyone's eyes showed curiosity.
Does Director Guo have a particularly good idea?
"Director Guo, do you have any good ideas?"
Academician Huo asked with a smile as he looked at Guo Hao.
"It's not really a good idea."
Guo Hao paused.
"Magnetohydrodynamic Generation is not unusable, but our current Magnetohydrodynamic Generation devices are indeed not very suitable for the internal environment of Controlled nuclear fusion.
We can set up a Magnetohydrodynamic Generation channel outside the confinement magnetic field of the fusion device, allowing escaping high-energy particles or plasma remnants to pass through the channel and cut the magnetic field to generate current.
For example..."
As he spoke, Guo Hao took out a draft paper from the side and quickly began to draw an engineering schematic diagram.
The people next to him, including Academician Huo, immediately looked at each other in dismay.
Surprise appeared in everyone's eyes.
Is Director Guo preparing to draw an engineering diagram on the spot???
Guo Hao actually just got the inspiration.
After all, he is proficient in mechanical engineering and is also proficient in mechanical drawing. Basically, drawing is nothing special.
Everyone waited patiently, no one urged Guo Hao.
After all, that was Guo Hao!
The entire Controlled nuclear fusion technology was almost entirely built by him alone, and the core technology was all breakthroughs made by Guo Hao!
It can be said that everyone else was auxiliary, only Guo Hao was the core!
After waiting for about thirty minutes.
Guo Hao drew the general schematic diagram and handed it to Academician Huo next to him.
After looking at the drawn diagram, Academician Huo looked at Guo Hao on the side with some surprise.
Beautiful engineering drawing!
"I didn't expect Director Guo to be so skilled! This kind of engineering drawing is done so well! Wonderful!"
"Just so-so."
Guo Hao humbly shook his head.
"Let's all take a look!"
These Professor and Academician passed it around for a while, and soon, everyone's brows furrowed slightly.
"Professor Guo, this drawing is indeed well done, but this Magnetohydrodynamic Generation design is a bit radical..."
Academician Zhou hesitated for a moment and said to Guo Hao.
"Indeed, the materials for this Magnetohydrodynamic Generation design are a bit lacking. Why not choose hybrid power generation this time? Utilize the thermal energy generated by fusion to add liquid metal, forming a conductive fluid to drive the Magnetohydrodynamic Generator for power generation.
This way, we can even combine it with traditional steam turbine generators for power generation!"
Pan Academician hesitated slightly and said to Guo Hao.
"Your suggestions are all good, but I think this plan is very good."
Guo Hao smiled.
"My ODS steel can still be adjusted in formula. It can withstand enough neutron bombardment, and! I can also adjust the Magnetohydrodynamic fluid temperature."
As he spoke, Guo Hao roughly explained his ideas to the several Academician in front of him.
These Academician immediately lit up.
"This idea is good!"
"Okay!"
"I am very optimistic!"
The surrounding Academician immediately changed from their previous lack of understanding to admiration!
"Alright! Then let's do it this way!"
The meeting with these Academician lasted for three days.
They almost drew all the design blueprints for Controlled nuclear fusion, determining the materials, technology, and construction methods.
These things are very important!
After all, it is a huge project worth tens of billions!
It involves all aspects. This is not an experimental project. Once it fails, the loss will be huge!
Dragon Country Nuclear Industry Group arrived at the designated location early!
Construction began!
And other nuclear Physics experts and Researchers continued to improve some issues and conduct the final technical verification on the experimental reactor.
After all, it is a large project involving tens of billions of investment.
Some problems, if discovered early, are always better than later modifications.
And several materials have already been put into production in various factories across the country.
Especially the production of superconducting wires and improved ODS steel, followed by the production of nanocrystalline tungsten coating, and the production of many other materials and components.
Such a large project like Controlled nuclear fusion involves huge implications, almost involving all industries in the country.
It is of great importance, so the construction is also very slow.
During this time, Guo Hao was almost overwhelmed with work.
He was constantly busy with the Controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, coordinating various departments and enterprises.
Half a year!
For the past six months, Guo Hao has almost single-mindedly devoted himself to this matter.
His other research has almost come to a standstill.
There's no way, he is the top Leader of the Controlled nuclear fusion preparation department!
There are simply too many things to be busy with in this kind of matter!
He couldn't get any free time at all!
Seven months!
A brand new Controlled Nuclear Fusion Center, at the foot of Pan Mountain, rose from the ground!
The huge Controlled Nuclear Fusion Center was successfully completed!
Guo Hao looked at the huge Controlled Nuclear Fusion Center in front of him, his heart filled with excitement.
Has it finally reached this step?
The System gave him a task to complete Controlled nuclear fusion in ten years!
And he only used less than two years!
He successfully completed Controlled nuclear fusion!
"Director Guo, the higher-ups asked me to ask you if you have determined the time for the Controlled nuclear fusion ignition? We need to arrange everything by then!"
Xu Yuan asked Guo Hao.
"Tomorrow! Since it's all built, the final inspection should be completed today, and ignition can be done tomorrow!"
Guo Hao smiled.
This time it's not called an ignition experiment!
It's directly ignition!
"By then, many Leader, including the Leader of the Energy Bureau, will come to witness the ceremony."
"Right, Professor Guo."
At this moment, Xu Yuan pondered slightly. He looked at Guo Hao and said.
"Is it convenient for people from the news center to come for interviews this time? Will there be a risk of leaking secrets??"
"Let them film! Leaking secrets? It doesn't exist anymore! If we successfully ignite! We will already be leading the world!"
Guo Hao's face was full of confidence!
