Just after Tanggu No. 1 completed its initial actual test, Jinwu No. 1 in Bazhong was also accelerating the process progress, and at the same time, it improved Jinwu No. 1 through internal communication.

Inspired by the successful trial operation of Tanggu No. 1, the domestic controlled nuclear fusion field is finally no longer as unsure as before.

In the development of human science and technology, if a technology is successful, the research and development speed of other forces will also increase.

Of course, there are prerequisites to imitate and learn from experience.

For example, industrial foundations, relevant talents, and obtain exact samples or information.

Although Noah's Association, Lucia and other forces discovered the nuclear experimental base in the Gobi Desert in the northern desert through neutrino detectors, they did not pay much attention to it and thought it was a research and development base for nuclear fission reactors.

All major forces use neutrino detectors to judge the nuclear facilities of other forces. Everyone is doing nuclear research secretly. This kind of thing is a semi-public secret.

The Suiren Group and the country have done a lot of concealment, and have used half-true and half-false false information to confuse the outside world's investigations.

Although other forces all know that the various technologies of Greater China over the past few years have shown rapid development.

But Noah and the others did not believe that Greater China could complete the commercial mass production of controlled nuclear fusion in the near future.

Huang Xiuyuan and the Strategic Think Tank have done a lot of analysis and counter-inference. Based on the current external forces and the lack of understanding of the specific situation in the country, the exposure of controllable nuclear fusion technology will have a buffer period of at least 5 to 10 years.

Why is it 5 to 10 years?

This is a reasonable inference based on the scale of investment in nuclear fusion power plants.

If only one or two nuclear fusion power stations are invested, it may be difficult for the outside world to discover abnormalities, but to complete the qualitative change of social productivity, the entire Greater China region needs to invest at least 100 to 300 7,500 megawatt nuclear fusion power stations.

According to Huang Xiuyuan's estimate, if no serious fatal flaws are found after the trial operation of Tanggu No. 1 and Jinwu No. 1 this year, Greater China will plan to build 20 new nuclear fusion power stations in the next five years.

If calculated based on the power of Tanggu No. 1, the total power of 20 Tanggu/Jinwu will reach 150,000 megawatts, and 1.2 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity can be generated each year.

This is still the premise that technology does not improve. If the technology of controlled nuclear fusion continues to steadily increase, the scale of power generation will continue to increase.

The trillions of kilowatt-hours of cheap electricity, which are gradually invested in social production, will attract the attention of some people who are interested.

This is just the plan for the first five years. From 2021 to 2026, the scale of nuclear fusion power plants will be increased to 100 to 300, achieving a plan to double the total electricity volume of the country.

With the doubled power capacity in ten years, major forces have not yet discovered the tricks of Greater China, so Huang Xiuyuan would doubt the other party's intelligence analysis capabilities.

With such a huge increment in a short period of time, only controlled nuclear fusion can be achieved.

Therefore, Huang Xiuyuan and the strategic think tank concluded that the emergence of controlled nuclear fusion technology can only be kept confidential for 5 to 10 years at most.

Huang Xiuyuan and Qin Lizhang discussed several times, intending to continue to strengthen confidentiality, and increase the release of fake news to achieve a plan to confuse the public.

On the other hand, he is also promoting the development of aerospace technology, and achieving great strides in aerospace technology within 5 to 10 years as much as possible.

March 17.

Another good news came.

Huang Xiuyuan came to the Dezhou Industrial Park through a stand-alone robot. After more than a year of hard work, he finally made a breakthrough.

The temperature of the previous superconductor was stuck near zero degrees Celsius.

After the efforts of a number of researchers, the superconducting temperature of the room temperature superconductor has reached a level of 42.8 degrees Celsius.

Looking at the workbench, the silver-gray cable bare wires were detected by the researcher after turning on the power supply, and the resistance detected by the researcher was only a series of zeros.

Huang Xiuyuan exclaimed: "This is the real room temperature superconductor."

The previous zero-degree superconductors could only be considered sub-room temperature superconductors. Now, this superconductor that can be below 42.8 degrees Celsius to ensure superconducting characteristics is a real room temperature superconductor.

Huang Xiuyuan then asked: "How much is the current cost?"

The person in charge thought for a while: "The comprehensive cost after deep processing is similar to that of copper conductors. If it is mass-produced, it can be slightly cheaper."

He looked through the relevant reports on the tablet.

Although the improved version of the room temperature superconductor uses a large number of nanotechnology.

However, the overall raw material is much cheaper than copper. The only relatively expensive raw material is trace-doped lanthanum.

Although lanthanum is a rare element, it is beneficial to the advanced element refining technology of Suiren and the vast control area.

Currently, Bluestar Mining has reserved 5,771 tons of lanthanum, and its geological reserves are as high as tens of millions of tons. Of course, the mining conditions of geological reserves are very unfriendly, and there will be no large-scale mining.

In the application of new room-temperature superconductors, the doping ratio of lanthanum is not high. On average, 0.243 kilograms of lanthanum are consumed for every 1 ton of room-temperature superconductor produced.

With Blue Star Mining’s reserves, the supply of lanthanum is relatively abundant.

If it is not enough, the mining of geological reserves can also be started, at most the cost of production is higher.

Huang Xiuyuan encouraged: "You have done a good job. The next work is to mass-produce new room-temperature superconductors while reducing production costs."

"Don't worry, Chairman, I'm ready to conquer the alternative to lanthanum."

This is also impossible. In many technologies, especially high-tech materials, once they encounter the application of rare elements, researchers have to consider the issue of resource depletion.

Especially for equipment with huge output and very wide application, rare elements will be consumed sooner or later.

Therefore, these high-tech materials must prepare alternatives in advance and develop some cheap elements that can adapt to the situation.

Once any change occurs, substitutes can be used to achieve stable supply of production capacity.

At present, the application fields of room temperature superconductors are mainly power transmission, controlled nuclear fusion, integrated circuits, magnetic levitation, etc.

Especially on ultra-high voltage cables, if new room temperature superconductors are applied to them, hundreds or thousands of tons will inevitably be needed to start.

Although a lot of raw materials are required, it is also worth it.

You should know that in the global power system, there is a ratio of 10 to 20%. In fact, this part of the power is wasted due to the existence of resistors.

The energy saved by room temperature superconductors is equivalent to increasing the supercomputing power by 10 to 20%. Over time, it will be a greater blessing and favorable situation.

If it were the past, if the zero-degree superconductor was to be used as a cable, it would have to be equipped with a large number of cooling systems. Obviously, it would be a bit more cost-effective to do so.

The performance of the new room temperature superconductor is enough to ensure that it is below 42.8 degrees Celsius. It is selected for a safe superconductor and can still operate efficiently.

With some heat insulation outer layer materials, the new room temperature superconductor itself emits very little heat.

Huang Xiuyuan and the research team discussed for more than ten minutes before leaving the laboratory.
