543: Design drawings of the spherical tokamak

"Academician Zhou is right!"

Just as Academician Pan was about to say something.

At this moment, he heard a voice from the side.

"Academician Guo!"

"Academician Guo!"

Everyone around looked towards Guo Hao at the meeting room entrance, immediately stood up, and called out to Guo Hao.

In fact, in terms of age and seniority, Guo Hao was almost the youngest among everyone present.

However, these Academicians in front of him, upon seeing Guo Hao, almost all stood up without hesitation, and their tone when speaking to Guo Hao was very respectful.

After all!

Guo Hao was now the scientist with the highest status in the entire Dragon Country Academic Circle, and even the entire world's Academic Circle!

And the greatest scientist!

An ordinary scientist, just by achieving the result of quelling such a massive epidemic, would probably be deified!

But this achievement, among Guo Hao's countless achievements, actually seemed somewhat insignificant. Just this point alone was enough to know how amazing Guo Hao truly was!

A man's reputation is like a tree's shadow!

"Alright, everyone sit down. With everyone like this, I feel a bit awkward!"

Guo Hao smiled, walked to the main seat on the side and sat down, speaking to the Researchers in front of him.

The Academicians around him sat down one after another.

"Academician Zhou is right, Academician Pan, I suggest you first sort out the theory of sonofusion, otherwise, it will indeed be very difficult."

Guo Hao looked seriously at Academician Pan on the side and said.

A hint of hesitation appeared in Academician Pan's eyes, and he nodded.

"The main principle of sonofusion is that when sound waves act on heavy water containing deuterium, bubbles undergo periodic expansion and collapse driven by sound pressure.

At the moment of collapse, the bubble's original volume is compressed to one millionth of its original size, and at this time, the temperature inside the bubble can reach millions of degrees, and the pressure exceeds tens of thousands of times atmospheric pressure.

Theoretically, under these extreme conditions, the Coulomb barrier between deuterium nuclei can theoretically be overcome, triggering a nuclear fusion reaction."

Academician Pan briefly explained the current main principle of sonofusion.

There was helplessness in his eyes.

"It sounds good, but currently, we have not fully clarified the microscopic mechanism of bubble collapse, and existing models largely rely on phenomenological assumptions.

So the current experimental progress is really just average."

Academician Pan sighed.

When he chose this path back then, Academician Pan had just suddenly thought of the relevant theoretical papers he had seen before.

So he thought he would give it a try.

But after truly trying it, Academician Pan realized how frustrating this thing was. The inability to perfect the theoretical model meant that the probability of actually making this thing work was almost zero!

Everyone didn't know if using sound to drive bubbles really had a chance to achieve nuclear fusion.

But looking at the current situation... Academician Pan himself was not confident.

"Don't rush, take your time!"

Guo Hao smiled slightly and said to Academician Pan.

"Although we have already achieved Controlled nuclear fusion, in this regard, we are indeed leading the world, and it can even be said that we are leading by a lot!

But!"

Guo Hao changed the subject, his gaze swept over the Academicians around him, his expression became very serious, and he slowly spoke to the Academicians around him.

"On this point, although we are leading! But in the field of Controlled nuclear fusion miniaturization, we are actually lagging behind the world!

Whether it is in theoretical establishment or experimental initiation! Foreign countries have many innovative ideas, and they have even conducted quite a few related experiments.

However, if we want to achieve Controlled nuclear fusion, we ultimately still have to rely on ourselves for theoretical construction!

Their theories may not be correct, and their path may not be correct!

We need to forge our own path! Everyone is a pioneer who has blazed trails through hardships! Don't let your thinking be constrained by Western theories!

Everyone should broaden their thinking! Liberate your minds! Don't be afraid of wasting time! Don't be afraid of wasting resources! As long as you have a good idea, you can try it! You can give it a shot!"

Guo Hao said to the Academicians around him with a serious expression.

The Academicians around him all nodded.

Next, everyone began to talk about their ideas and their thoughts on Controlled nuclear fusion miniaturization.

After the discussion.

They each began to continue experiments in their respective groups.

"How is the design of the shell material coming along??"

Guo Hao looked at Academician Wang and Academician Wu and asked.

"It's still not quite working."

The two Academicians shook their heads.

"We conducted design experiments on the internal materials based on your research, and the situation is not very good, according to the results in the Laboratory you designed."

To achieve a spherical Tokamak device, we need internal materials that have nearly superconductor capabilities.

It can generate an immense magnetic field within a small range to confine nearly a hundred million degrees of high temperature. Only then can Controlled nuclear fusion miniaturization be achieved.

But before, to achieve this, we used countless magnetic coils and only barely managed it. Now, just relying on a sphere with a diameter not exceeding five meters to achieve this goal is a bit too difficult!"

Academician Wang was slightly helpless.

"Indeed! We have tried many experiments, and the materials are really... Unless we achieve room-temperature superconductivity! Otherwise..."

Academician Wu was also very helpless.

This thing seemed okay in imagination, after all, it didn't look that difficult, and everyone had achieved Controlled nuclear fusion.

Miniaturizing it also seemed like an inevitable matter.

But when actually doing it, the effect was simply...

"Don't worry."

Guo Hao smiled slightly.

"The miniaturization of Controlled nuclear fusion has always been very difficult. Perhaps we don't need room-temperature superconductivity to achieve Controlled nuclear fusion miniaturization.

The premise is that our design is ingenious enough!"

Saying that, Guo Hao took out a black hard drive from his person.

"These are subsequent magnet design experiments. Take them and continue working on them. Oh, right, regarding the inside of this Tokamak, have you completed the design?

This is also a very important point."

Guo Hao looked seriously at the two Academicians in front of him and said.

"Yes."

Academician Wu quickly nodded and took out the design drawings from the side and handed them to Guo Hao.

"Okay, I'll look at the drawings, you continue with the experiments."

Guo Hao took the drawings.

Academician Wu and Academician Wang, along with a few Researchers from the project group, continued to conduct experiments.

Guo Hao began calculating.

At the moment, when Guo Hao was doing these things, he would always subconsciously start relying on calculations. He had a reliance on calculations that was similar to intuition.

Level 9 Mathematics endowed Guo Hao with an extremely sensitive talent for numbers.

After calculating for a while.

Guo Hao looked at the drawings in front of him and began to make some modifications.

This internal design drawing for the spherical Tokamak, which had taken Academician Wu and Academician Wang over a month to complete, was full of mathematical bugs in Guo Hao's eyes!
