526: Spherical Tokamak Controlled Nuclear Fusion

Hearing Guo Hao's words.

At this moment, the surrounding Academicians immediately looked at Guo Hao seriously, their expressions extremely solemn.

They attached extraordinary importance to Guo Hao's ideas and opinions.

Because when solving all the problems encountered by Controlled nuclear fusion, Guo Hao played a decisive role!

It can be said that without Guo Hao's sudden emergence, Controlled nuclear fusion would still be "fifty years away" forever!

It seemed like only one step was left, but this step might never be taken!

Everyone was very clear about this.

Everyone's eyes turned towards Guo Hao, their expressions very serious.

Guo Hao smiled slightly, looked at everyone in front of him, and slowly said.

"Regarding the miniaturization of Controlled nuclear fusion, we currently don't have any particularly good ideas, and we basically have no grasp of the current directions, but we have enough resources!

So why don't we just divide into several groups and advance in several directions simultaneously! Once we have a little breakthrough in a certain direction.

We can completely concentrate our efforts on that point of breakthrough."

Hearing Guo Hao's words, the Academicians around them all nodded thoughtfully.

They discussed for a while longer.

Regarding fusion miniaturization, everyone had their own ideas to some extent; some of these ideas were wild and imaginative, while others were simple and unadorned.

But no matter what, they all had some underlying logic.

After all, they had truly all participated in the research and development of Controlled nuclear fusion and succeeded.

The direction Guo Hao favored was building a giant spherical fusion reactor.

Relying on a spherical magnetic field to confine the high-temperature plasma at the core.

This was Guo Hao's idea.

But the question was, how large should this spherical object be built?

This thing couldn't be built small, and the high temperature inside was essentially very dangerous.

And how should this outer shell be built?

There were still very, very many problems.

This idea had actually been considered by people very early on, but the difficulty was extremely high, and coupled with the fact that no one had achieved Controlled nuclear fusion at that time.

Let alone such a high difficulty.

This idea was essentially to forcibly miniaturize the Controlled nuclear fusion reactor through the advancement of Materials Science.

The difficulty was too great!

After the meeting, Guo Hao divided them into three groups according to the wishes of these Academicians.

He himself led two Academicians to work on spherical Controlled nuclear fusion, then Pan Academician led a group to research sonoluminescence.

Academician Huo led a group to research field-reversed configuration, where the principle of this fusion is to use self-organizing magnetic fields to confine plasma, and their structure is simpler.

Everyone chose the direction they were more optimistic about.

The directions led by Guo Hao and Academician Huo were part of existing technical conjectures and were not too sci-fi.

The direction led by Academician Huo was purely a sci-fi path.

Regarding the miniaturization of Controlled nuclear fusion, there was a red-headed document from above, so almost all departments gave the green light.

Whether it was the required Laboratories or various materials, everything was delivered within a short period.

Next, it was time to start the experiments!

On this point, Guo Hao had a slight privilege.

He needed to work on materials.

After all, materials are fundamental!

The outer wall of the spherical Tokamak device is very significant; it needs to be able to generate a huge magnetic field to firmly lock in the high-temperature plasma!

In addition, its own strength is also very important. If it is not strong enough, even a small problem could make it truly unsafe!

Thus, the requirements for materials are very high!

Directions like sonoluminescence are more about taking a certain shortcut and are not normal research directions.

However, under the current circumstances, no one knows how the miniaturization of Controlled nuclear fusion will be achieved.

Guo Hao's choice was conservative, but in this world, neither conservatism nor radical innovation guarantees success.

For the next period, Guo Hao returned to his previous busy state.

He was even busier than before working on Controlled nuclear fusion.

The three research groups were constantly rotating.

The required materials were somewhat different, so the work Guo Hao had to do was naturally a lot, a great deal!

Guo Hao's focus was still on small-scale Controlled nuclear fusion.

Because this was of great importance!

It was not only related to aerospace but also to the power source for submarines.

The power source is the core of the core; if this is not resolved, relying solely on aviation fuel or diesel and other energy sources is not enough.

Fission reactors are also possible, but fission reactors themselves have too many flaws, and their size is also somewhat too large.

If used in the military, these flaws might be barely tolerable, but for civilian use, and for resource extraction, it's really not very feasible.

In aerospace, it's even less feasible.

While Guo Hao was immersed in the busyness of the three major projects.

Dragon Country's, or rather Deep Space Technology's, various products were dominating the world.

Although Deep Space Technology's batteries were sold at a very high price, they still had a strong cost-effectiveness abroad.

Battery manufacturers worldwide were almost all facing bankruptcy.

Oil prices were also plummeting, because the TC-1 battery itself was simply too excellent, and coupled with the fact that Jiuxiao Energy had been rapidly expanding its territory worldwide during this period.

To put it bluntly, capital is actually just speculating on expectations.

Once there are no expectations, the prices of most assets will plummet!

The foreign selling price of the TC-1 battery was too high, which gave rise to a large number of smugglers, although these smugglers did not have much supply in their hands.

In addition.

Due to a series of agreements signed between Dragon Country and Ugly Country, artificial wombs, which were originally prohibited from export, also began to have official export channels.

Further beginning to impact some foreign medical systems.

Among them, the impact on certain illegal organ smuggling gangs was the greatest, there was nothing they could do.

Rich people aren't fools either.

Of course they knew that cloned organs were almost equivalent to their own original organs, and were definitely better than organs snatched from others!

Therefore, the interests of organ trafficking gangs and certain interest groups were almost dealt a devastating blow.

Somewhere in South America.

"Mr. Reliable is really a waste! He doesn't even dare to act against Dragon Country!"

The Chairman of a certain group said coldly, with fierceness in his eyes.

"There's nothing we can do, it's understandable that Mr. Reliable did that. At his level, with Dragon Country being so tough, a hot war is impossible to start no matter what.

In the end, when it comes to a hot war, we are at a disadvantage. Industrial capacity is not on our side, and we have lost a lot of aircraft carriers. If a real war breaks out.

Unless we use nuclear bombs to reset the entire world simultaneously, what else can we do?"

Another Board Member from a nearby group shrugged and said flatly.
