Li Hao is happy that Xinghai Explorer-1 has successfully repaired the moon and the silicon gold crystal mining operation has resumed again.

He received information from the research building that they had developed superconducting materials that could be used in mass accelerators.

After Li Hao learned the news, he immediately rushed to the scientific research building.

This news is the most significant news he has received during this time.

The application of superconducting materials is too widespread, and it is a basic material.

Its breakthrough will bring more scientific and technological achievements to emerge.

The most important applications are generators and motors, energy, and power transmission.

Li Hao thought of these three basic applications of superconducting materials, and he was so happy that he was almost drooling.

In the field of energy, the biggest application of superconducting materials is the construction of nuclear fusion devices.

The most likely way for fusion to be accomplished now is through a tokamak device.

Li Hao also searched in the science and technology library, and the nuclear fusion technology that meets the level of earth technology.

It is the use of a super-strong magnetic field to confine the ion to undergo a nuclear fusion reaction.

This technique is almost identical to the principle of the tokamak device.

This is almost the easiest way to apply a fusion device. It's the best device to get started.

But no matter what kind of magnetic restraint device it is, you want to give full play to the ability of its design.

High-quality superconducting materials are indispensable.

Now that superconducting materials have made breakthroughs, it is conceivable that nuclear fusion technology is about to enter the fast lane of development.

If nuclear fusion technology is lit up, then mankind will not be short of energy at all.

Human development has always been constrained by energy scarcity.

If there is an adequate supply of energy, it will greatly change the way society develops today.

Superconducting materials play a greater role in changing the field of power transmission.

Transmission materials are not only wires on poles, but also wires inside various electrical appliances.

According to the laws of physics, as long as the material has resistance. When a certain current is passed, heat generation will inevitably occur.

This heating phenomenon can sometimes have a fatal effect on the equipment.

By changing these photos to superconducting materials, the performance of the device will almost be multiplied.

Superconducting materials are also having a huge impact on the field of electrical energy delivery.

At present, the overall layout of Huaxia Electric Energy is less in the east and more in the west. Huge amounts of electricity must be transmitted from the west to the east.

The mainstream transmission method is ultra-high voltage transmission, which is very expensive to operate and maintain.

The reason why electricity is transmitted in this way is because the higher the voltage. The less current is generated on the wire, the lower the heat it will be.

In this way, the loss of electric energy on the transmission line and the heating of the equipment can be controlled to a certain extent.

However, as long as wires and transformers made of superconducting materials are used to deliver electricity.

Even if the voltage is very low, the length of the wire is very large. But it doesn't produce any heat.

It can transmit electrical energy from the power generation end to the user end without loss.

At present, the loss of energy in large cities is about 15%.

The loss of electricity in remote rural areas is as high as 50 to 60 percent.

Taking Huaxia as an example, the annual loss of wires alone consumes more than 100 billion kWh.

In the field of power generation, the magnetic field strength of the generator can be increased to 5T with almost no energy loss by utilizing superconducting coil magnets.

This type of generator is known as an alternating current superconducting generator.

The single power generation capacity of superconducting generators is increased by more than 10 times compared with conventional generators, reaching 10,000 megawatts.

However, the volume is reduced by half, the weight of the whole machine is reduced by half, and the power generation efficiency is doubled.

The greatest use of superconducting materials is in ultra-high torque motors.

Magnets made of superconducting materials can allow electric motors to generate ultra-strong magnetic fields of up to 10T.

This electric motor with huge torque can accomplish many incredible applications.

If the space elevator is really deployed. All it takes is one of these high-torque electric motors to lift thousands of tons of material into geosynchronous orbit.

Li Hao thought that this kind of high-torque motor was indeed making a space elevator.

But it is not for the earth, but for the moon, Mars, etc., and the planets that are ready to be developed in the future.

Superconducting materials are not limited to making electric motors with high torque.

It manufactures small electric motors and also has very good performance.

A small electric motor with a large torque force can make the robot joints more flexible and the power of the robot more numerous.

There are so many things that superconducting materials can do, and this is the result of breakthroughs in basic science and technology.

Li Hao soon came to the scientific research building, and Bi Ye led the scientific researchers to cheer.

Seeing them venting wantonly, Li Hao could imagine how difficult it would be to study superconducting materials.

The ability and perseverance required to study this material are indispensable. But more than that, it takes a bit of luck.

He walked up to Bi Ye, patted him on the shoulder, and congratulated: "You have worked hard during this time, I didn't expect to complete the development of superconducting materials so quickly."

Every scientific researcher has made a contribution, and it must be counted well. According to our company's rules and regulations, they are given certain rewards. ”

Bi Ye turned his head to look at the scientific researchers who were cheering, and he nodded seriously and said, "Mr. Li, rest assured, I will definitely arrange the reward work." ”

"By the way, the superconducting material was jointly developed by you and Guo Jianhao, why isn't he here?"

Li Hao turned his head and swept around, but he didn't find Guo Jianhao's figure, he asked Bi Ye.

Guo Jianguo went to deal with the manufacturing process of superconducting materials, and soon began the construction of the mass accelerator.

This project requires a large number of superconducting materials, and now the manufacturing process is only being studied, so that the intelligent industry group can quickly produce more superconducting materials.

”

"Director Bi, do you know how much superconducting materials cost?" Li Hao asked about the graduate.

He was very concerned about the cost of superconducting materials, which would be too expensive to make.

This superconducting material can only be used in special fields and cannot be popularized.

It is also more expensive to build a large mass accelerator coil.

"The cost should not be too high, I heard Director Guo Jianhao say that its cost should be about three times that of Yanjin materials." Bi Ye thought for a moment and replied.

"That's the cost, that's acceptable. After the expansion of production equipment, the cost should be able to reduce even more. Li Hao said with satisfaction.

He instructed Bi Ye again: "Now that there are superconducting materials, some scarce large-scale equipment in your physics laboratory can also be officially launched."

Physics is a high-input and high-output major, and it is necessary to use more advanced equipment in order to achieve better results.

Previously, they were limited by materials and required to consume too much electricity.

Now there are superconducting materials, and the amount of electrical energy required has dropped exponentially. ”

"Okay Mr. Li, we'll start working on these devices."

Bi Ye happily replied that they could finally start playing with large equipment like their international counterparts.
