Chapter 1218: Chapter 589 Significant Advances in Material Manufacturing Technology_3

So, the problem emerged.

At this level of energy, the material performance of various components doesn’t meet the standard; they would continue to degrade until they were no longer usable.

Of course.

Experiments still needed to be conducted, and the material issues could be addressed slowly afterward.

Many people were watching this experiment.

Zhao Yi and the senior leadership were standing together, even personally participating in the preparation process for the experiment and offering guidance on some issues on site.

Soon.

The experiment officially began.

It started with the activation of the anti-gravity device, followed by fueling, using the Z-wave Generator as the ignition device, and the nuclear fusion device officially started.

About half an hour after the device was activated, it was noticeable that it could maintain its operation with its own heat output, with the excess energy continuously generating electricity.

The device kept operating.

This process was very tedious because control only meant monitoring the detection data, which was a continuous understanding of internal reactions and operations of the components based on the detection data.

The current experiment was hoping that the device could operate for a longer duration. Every minute and every second that passed made everyone tense.

"Please, hold on a bit longer!" Chen Zeshu’s palms were sweaty with nervousness.

Although he prayed earnestly, what was inevitable would always arrive.

When the experiment reached the fourth hour, the staff had already detected that the material at the output end was overheating, showing signs of melting.

Then, time had to come to a stop.

If the melting of the output end materials continued, due to the precision of the components, there would certainly be a breach, a massive leak of energy, which would cause more external components to melt. In a more severe case, it might even trigger a strong explosion.

"Stop it!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Chen Zeshu, with his eyes tightly closed, made a decisive yet difficult command.

The issuance of this command was very arduous.

The experiment was initially estimated to last seven hours, but problems arose just after four and a bit hours.

"It’s still, a failure," Chen Zeshu said regretfully as he walked over to Zhao Yi.

The senior leadership offered encouragement, "Nuclear fusion research is always challenging. It’s a field the whole world is studying without any breakthroughs. That we’ve come this far is already quite advanced."

Zhao Yi on the other hand said, "In my view, it’s already quite successful."

"Why?" Chen Zeshu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It’s truly quite successful. Whether it’s one hour, four hours, or seven hours, it actually all means the same; the current device is constrained by the materials and can’t operate continuously," Zhao Yi said earnestly, "So right now, we need to find a material suitable for the output end, one with extremely high heat resistance, neutron penetration resistance, and other qualities."

"Right."

Chen Zeshu nodded in agreement and said, "This is the key limiting factor in research and development, but it’s also very hard to find such a material globally, including internationally. I believe that even the alloy with the highest melting point and strength won’t meet the requirements."

"Academician Chen, you’re not wrong,"

Zhao Yi continued, "So, for now, your team should focus on refining the device. The materials can’t be found in a short time."

"Academician Zhao, what do you mean by that—?" Chen Zeshu asked, full of curiosity.

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "The research I’m doing now might bring a significant advancement in material manufacturing technology!"
