547: Spherical Tokamak! Ignition Successfully!

Why don't we take a look first?

Academician Wu smiled, looking at Academician Pan beside him.

"Although this matter is difficult, don't forget, we have Professor Guo!"

"Indeed!"

Hearing Academician Wu's words, Academician Pan looked at Academician Wu with a hint of envy.

"Whichever research group Academician Guo is in, that research group feels like it has a higher success rate! I'm so fed up with this sonoluminescence fusion!"

Academician Pan's face was full of helplessness.

"This thing feels like it's not something a normal person can achieve. It feels like even perfecting the theory is extremely difficult, almost impossible!"

"Hahaha! Just take your time with it!"

Academician Wu smiled as he looked at Academician Pan.

"Although sonoluminescence fusion is indeed very difficult, if this direction is truly achieved, the potential is still very significant, perhaps even reaching the level of miniature Controlled nuclear fusion!

Maybe you can even develop fusion batteries! This Tokamak device with a five-meter diameter is still a bit too large!"

Academician Wu sighed slightly.

"That's good enough! What more do you want? Five meters is already small enough, it can even be placed on a spacecraft!

It's just a pity that the thrust of current motors is too poor, otherwise spacecraft might actually be possible! A Controlled nuclear fusion device with a diameter of only five meters, installed on a spacecraft.

It's actually quite good, what a shame!"

Academician Wu's face was full of regret.

The current motor thrust is really mediocre, compared to chemical energy engines, it's far too inferior.

Especially aerospace engines, their utilization of Chemistry energy is simply pushed to the extreme.

The explosive effect is extremely strong.

As for motors... let's not even mention them!

"There's no need to rush, actually."

Academician Pan, who was beside him, smiled upon hearing Academician Wu's words and said to Academician Wu.

"With Professor Guo here, do you still need to worry about these things? I don't believe that after Professor Guo completes the miniaturization of Controlled nuclear fusion.

He won't think about things like spacecraft. I feel that perhaps Professor Guo had a draft in mind a long time ago, but just hasn't revealed it yet."

Academician Pan said with a smile.

"Look, which thing has Professor Guo done that wasn't planned out long ago? This guy is a monstrous genius! He simply cannot be speculated about using common sense."

"That's true!"

Academician Wu nodded.

"Academician Wu, Professor Guo is calling you over there."

Just at this moment, a Researcher walked over from the side.

"Please excuse me for a moment."

Academician Wu smiled slightly and said to Academician Pan beside him.

"Go ahead."

Academician Pan nodded.

Academician Wu turned and left, quickly arriving beside Guo Hao.

"Academician Guo, did you call for me?"

Guo Hao looked at Academician Wu and asked.

"Yes, get ready, we're about to start the ignition attempt!"

Guo Hao said as he looked at Academician Wu.

"Okay."

Academician Wu nodded.

Soon, everyone in the entire engineering team began to get busy.

Most of the Engineers here were the ones who followed Guo Hao to successfully develop Controlled nuclear fusion.

Each of them was extremely familiar with Controlled nuclear fusion, especially the Tokamak device.

After all, Dragon Country has currently built at least ten Controlled nuclear fusion power plants across the country, plus some Controlled nuclear fusion power plants built with foreign investment.

It can be said that there are already a lot of technical reserves.

The surrounding Engineers and scientists are conducting the final inspection of this small Controlled nuclear fusion, spherical Tokamak device.

This thing is very important!

Guo Hao was slightly excited.

As long as this small Tokamak device can be successful, then for Guo Hao, or rather for all of humanity.

The universe and stars will no longer be a problem!

Humanity can definitely enter space!

They won't be trapped and die on the small Earth!

After all, Guo Hao has had Xiao Xin replicating the electric propulsion technology for almost three years.

Although there is no way to completely restore the alien civilization's technology, since many of the materials in it simply don't exist on Earth.

But by using materials with similar properties, it can at least maintain more than twenty percent of the original Electric Propulsion System's effectiveness.

This is already quite good.

Although there might still be some issues with interstellar travel, travel within the solar system is likely not a problem.

Of course, there might still be some minor issues encountered, but they are basically the kind that can be solved.

These thoughts flashed through Guo Hao's mind.

"Academician Guo, everything is ready!"

Academician Wang walked up to Guo Hao and said, slightly excited.

"Then let's ignite it!"

Guo Hao said seriously.

As Guo Hao gave the word.

The small Controlled nuclear fusion device in front of them began to be powered up and ignited!

With the injection of current, deuterium and tritium fuel were also injected into this enclosed sphere.

As the temperature continuously increased.

The magnetic field strength of the outer shell was also continuously increasing.

The enormous magnetic field began to confine the temperature at the core of the sphere!

Ten million degrees!

Twenty million degrees!

...

Soon! The core temperature of the sphere quickly reached nearly one hundred million degrees!

The pressure within the sphere was also extremely high.

The material on the innermost wall of the sphere was currently withstanding a high temperature of nearly five thousand degrees.

But because of the cooperation with mimic metal, plus the high-pressure and high-temperature resistant material for the inner wall that Guo Hao specifically designed for the spherical Tokamak.

Therefore, there are currently no problems at all.

"How is the inner wall?"

Guo Hao stared intently at the LCD screen in front of him and asked the Engineer beside him without turning his head.

"Currently, the inner wall material is all normal. The mimic metal material is fully integrated with our latest tungsten alloy, it is our latest generation of Controlled nuclear fusion inner wall material.

Special tests have been conducted, and the current situation is very good!"

The Engineer said to Guo Hao with a smile.

Guo Hao nodded, feeling at ease.

This is technological accumulation.

Although a spherical Tokamak device has not been made before, it is still a Tokamak device, just scaled down proportionally.

Many technologies are universal.

The biggest problem is actually how to establish a strong enough magnetic field to confine the super-high temperature.

In fact, Controlled nuclear fusion does not require temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees.

Temperatures of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of degrees are actually sufficient, but the higher the core temperature and pressure, the greater the momentum imparted to the atomic nuclei, the more opportunities naked atomic nuclei have to collide with each other, and the faster the rate of nuclear fusion.

When enough atomic nuclei can fuse together, the energy from nuclear fusion will be sufficient to reach a large enough level to form self-sustaining combustion that maintains nuclear fusion.

At this point, the reaction can continue without inputting energy, and only then can the continuous energy output from nuclear fusion be utilized.

To achieve this, sufficiently high temperatures are needed. Under high temperature and high pressure, Controlled nuclear fusion can continuously generate energy!
