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 scientific research building that they had developed superconducting materials that could be used by mass accelerators.

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

This news is the most important news he has received during this period.

The application of superconducting materials is too extensive, which is a basic material.

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

The most important applications are the three major fields of generators and motors, energy, and power transmission.

When Li Hao thought of these three basic applications of superconducting materials, he was almost drooling with joy.

Speaking only in the field of energy, the biggest application of superconducting materials is the construction of nuclear fusion devices.

Now the most likely way to complete nuclear fusion is the tokamak device.

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

It is to use a super-strong magnetic field to confine the ions to undergo nuclear fusion reactions.

This technology is almost the same as the principle of the tokamak device.

This is almost the most convenient nuclear fusion device. It is the best device for getting started.

But no matter what kind of magnetic confinement device, we want to give full play to the capabilities it was designed for.

High-quality superconducting materials are essential.

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

If nuclear fusion technology is turned on, then human beings will have no shortage of energy now.

Human development has always been constrained by energy scarcity.

If sufficient energy supply can be carried out, this will greatly change the current social development mode.

Superconducting materials have played an even greater role in changing the field of power transmission.

Power transmission materials are not just wires on utility poles, but also wires inside various appliances.

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

This heating phenomenon can sometimes have a fatal impact on the device.

Just change these photos to superconducting materials, and the performance of the device will almost double.

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

Now the overall layout of Huaxia Power is less in the east and more in the west. Huge amounts of electricity must be delivered from the west to the east.

UHV transmission is the mainstream transmission method, and its operation and maintenance costs are very high.

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

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

But as long as the wires and transformers made of superconducting materials are used to transmit electric energy.

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

Electric energy can be transmitted from the power generation end to the user end without loss.

Now the loss of energy transmission in big cities is about 15%.

The loss of power transmission in remote rural areas is as high as 50% to 60%.

Taking Huaxia as an example, every year just the loss of wires consumes more than 100 billion kWh of electricity.

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

This generator is an AC superconducting generator.

The stand-alone power generation capacity of superconducting generators is more than 10 times higher than that of 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 biggest use of superconducting materials is in ultra-high torque motors.

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

This huge torque motor can accomplish many incredible applications.

If a space elevator is really deployed. Only one such high-torque motor is needed to lift thousands of tons of materials to geosynchronous orbit.

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

But it is not prepared for the earth, but for the moon, Mars, and other planets that will be developed in the future.

Superconducting materials can not only manufacture high-torque motors.

It manufactures small motors that also have very good performance.

Small motors with extremely high torque can make the robot joints more flexible and the robot's strength more powerful.

Superconducting materials can do too many things, which is the result of breakthroughs in basic technology.

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

Seeing them wantonly venting, Li Hao could imagine the difficulty of researching superconducting materials.

Working with this material requires both ability and perseverance. But more than a little luck.

He walked up to Bi Ye, patted him on the shoulder and congratulated him: You have worked hard during this time, and I didn't expect to complete the research and 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, give them certain rewards.

Bi Ye turned his head to look at the cheering researchers, nodded seriously and said, Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely arrange the reward work.

By the way, the superconducting material was jointly developed by you and Guo Jianzhuo. Why isn't he here?

Li Hao turned his head and scanned around, but he didn't find Guo Jianzhuo, so he asked Bi Ye.

Guo Jianguo is going to handle the manufacturing process of superconducting materials, and will soon start the construction of the mass accelerator.

This project requires the use of a large amount of superconducting materials. Now it is only the research of the manufacturing process, so that the intelligent industry group can quickly produce more superconducting materials.

Director Bi, do you know the cost of superconducting materials? Li Hao asked the graduate.

He is concerned about the cost of superconducting materials, if they are too expensive to make.

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

Building massive mass accelerator coils is also more expensive.

The cost should not be too high. I heard Director Guo Jianzhuo say that its cost should be about three times that of Yanjin materials. Bi Ye replied after thinking for a while.

This cost is acceptable. After the production equipment is expanded, the cost should be reduced a little more. Li Hao said with satisfaction.

He then instructed Bi Ye: Now that you have superconducting materials, some large-scale equipment that is scarce in your physics laboratory can also be officially launched.

The major of physics is a major with high input and high output. It is necessary to use more advanced equipment in order to produce better research results.

Previously limited by materials, they required too much power to be consumed.

Now that there are superconducting materials, the required electrical energy has dropped exponentially.

Alright Mr. Li, we will start to study these devices.

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