After Ye Su decided on the direction of the next research, he was ready to start researching related technologies.
As for why the research should not be started right away, it is because the current technological means cannot meet the requirements of fusion reactors.
Without some necessary technology and materials, it would be impossible to make a fusion reactor directly.
Ye Su needs to get some front-end technology first, or even he won't be able to make a fusion reactor.
Those countries invest tens of billions of M yuan each year, but since they can't find fusion reactors, the reason is that the current conditions are not up to the requirements.
No matter how hard those scientists work, there is no hope of success.
First of all, thinking about materials is a problem that cannot be circumvented. If the materials do not meet the standards, fusion reactors can only be imagined.
Fusion reactors require a lot of materials, many of which are not available on the earth, and the most important material is superconducting materials.
Superconducting materials are essential materials for fusion reactors, and they also play a very important role in other fields.
As the name suggests, this material is used to conduct electricity, but it is actually a kind of conductor.
But this kind of conductor is not simple at all. Because it does not have any resistance, it will not generate heat when it is energized.
Although it seems that this material is not very useful but does not generate heat, it is actually very, very important.
It is important to know that in the process of using electric energy, a large part of it is wasted on heating. If superconducting materials are used, these wasted electric energy can be effectively used.
Not only is it a problem of power waste, heat is actually the biggest problem.
The mobile phones and computers you usually use will get hot if you use them for too long, which will seriously affect the performance of the machine.
If those machines use superconducting materials, they won't generate heat at all.
If the machine does not heat up, the heat sink can also be eliminated.
You might imagine a computer that doesn't need heat dissipation. You don't need a fan or anything. You don't need to hear the annoying sound of the fan anymore.
If the mobile phone uses superconducting materials, it can be used for at least a few more hours when it is fully charged. In fact, a large part of the electricity in the mobile phone is wasted in the heat. These problems can be solved by superconducting materials.
The benefits of superconducting materials are far more than these, and its importance is evident.
Ye Su wants to study superconducting materials not only for fusion reactors, but also in many places in the future.
If you research it out now, it will be convenient to use it later.
Superconducting materials are nothing new. There are already many kinds of superconducting materials that have appeared.
However, these superconducting materials have great restrictions on their use, and they need to have zero resistance when the temperature is very low.
If these materials are placed below room temperature, they will lose their superconducting properties.
The best superconducting materials now need to be used at temperatures of tens of degrees below zero.
This material is not practical at all, and if you want to use it, you need equipment to keep it cool.
The superconducting material that Ye Su wants to study can be used at normal temperatures, which is the normal temperature superconducting material that has always been said.
Superconducting materials at room temperature are very practical. They can be used in various places, and it can be said that they can be used where there is electricity.
If Ye Su can study superconducting materials at room temperature, it will not only have a great effect on the fusion reactor, but also be good for him.
First of all, if this material has to be invented, there is no need to worry about sales.
Eastern countries alone need a lot, a variety of machines can be used.
As long as Ye Su manufactures them, and sells them as much as possible, maybe the country will pay for the materials he produces.
It can be used not to mention the armor of the armor. If the wires inside are replaced with superconducting materials, the performance of the armor can be improved a lot.
And as long as Ye Su researched it out, it would be an industry monopolized by him.
The most profitable thing to say is that monopoly industries are the most profitable.
At that time, only Ye Su's family will sell normal temperature superconducting materials, so it is not Ye Su alone who has the final say.
Those buyers have no room for bargaining at all. If you don’t want to buy, then don’t buy it. If you like to buy it or not!
After the decision was made, Ye Su immediately began the research work.
Ye Su is going to be soaking in the laboratory this time. If he doesn't finish the room temperature superconducting material this time, he will not be ready to come out of the laboratory.
Ye Su was just such a person, once he made up his mind, he would have to finish it.
Superconducting materials at room temperature are not so simple to make.
If it is simple, it would have been invented a long time ago. You must know that many people are doing research on superconductivity.
The manpower and capital invested every year is not a small amount, but no effect is seen.
But this problem is not a problem for Ye Su, because he doesn't need to invent at all.
He knows the complete process flow of normal temperature superconducting materials, and he only needs to copy it in the laboratory.
In Ye Su's last life, normal temperature superconducting materials were already common materials, and they have basically replaced traditional conductors.
Now Ye Su only needs to take out the technology, and this technology can be realized under the current conditions, even large-scale mass production can be achieved.
This kind of room temperature superconducting material is a very peculiar material, which can be regarded as an organometallic substance.
Although it has the structure and characteristics of organic matter, its essence is a metal substance.
Generally speaking, it is a combination of organic matter and metal, which is a very magical material.
It seems very contradictory, it doesn't conform to common sense at all, but it is real.
The contradictory characteristics of this kind of material have caused it to not be manufactured on the earth.
In the last life of Ye Su, it was also accidentally discovered by a scientist. If Ye Su were to study it himself, he might not be able to do it.
