Chapter 72: The Enigma of Matter
Of course, purchasing hardware for building supercomputers domestically is not easy. Fortunately, Wu Hao has already purchased some basic raw materials for manufacturing supercomputers from abroad.
However, Wu Hao didn't directly purchase finished products like motherboards. Instead, he redesigned and manufactured them himself.
Currently, he doesn't need a supercomputer yet, and until the energy issue in the base is resolved, there isn't enough power to operate such a behemoth.
The electricity used in the base is generated by two diesel generators that Wu Hao purchased. However, the power provided by these two generators is quite limited, barely enough to meet his needs.
If there is an energy shortage during the construction of the reactor, Wu Hao might have to act as a manual laborer several times.
For Wu Hao, assembling a computer is a very easy task. Although his current computer appears crude, lacking a proper casing (a so-called "bare machine"), it doesn't affect its operational capability.
At least its processing speed is much stronger than his previous laptop, and the larger display makes it more convenient for Wu Hao to operate.
"Hmm? So, this Italian physicist actually coincidentally achieved a very brief cold fusion reaction technology." After searching through the internet for current research on nuclear fusion, Wu Hao gained a general understanding of the situation.
He also learned about the rough details of those news circulating on the internet, such as the physicist claiming to have achieved cold fusion reactor technology. After a brief understanding, Wu Hao realized that the physicist had indeed achieved an extraordinary cold fusion reaction.
However, this was merely a coincidence, and he himself had no idea about the specific process and principles. Therefore, it was unlikely for anyone to believe him.
After reviewing some information, a clear train of thought gradually formed in Wu Hao's mind. He began calculating various methods to achieve fusion reactions in his brain.
Wu Hao didn't plan to fully comprehend cold fusion technology all at once. After all, even with his current abilities, it would require continuous research and experimentation to eventually achieve this seemingly futuristic technology.
However, he couldn't determine the time it would take. So, Wu Hao's goal was to study the technology of thermonuclear fusion.
The implementation of this technology was already quite clear, with the main challenge being how to improve the process of high-temperature and high-pressure transformation and ultimately generate power to drive the generator set.
Though the problems involved were fewer compared to cold fusion, Wu Hao still needed to carefully consider and refine the solutions.
After all, the internal space of his base was limited, and both the fusion reactor and the corresponding power generation equipment needed to be as compact as possible while ensuring optimal functionality.
In this way, Wu Hao began utilizing his brain's computing power, equivalent to that of a supercomputer, continuously conducting various calculations and simulated experiments. While simulating with his brain, Wu Hao also recorded and organized key issues on his computer for future analysis and computation.
Wu Hao possesses a superpower that no scientist currently has: regardless of the research topic, he doesn't need to conduct various experiments like other scientists do.
He only needs to continuously utilize his brain's computing power and analytical abilities to conduct experiments in his mind.
The role of many supercomputers nowadays is similar to this, but humans haven't fully utilized the potential of supercomputers. They simply cannot fully unleash the capabilities of a supercomputer.
Additionally, simulation and analytical abilities are not yet fully developed and cannot compare to Wu Hao's brain computing power.
After all, even the most powerful supercomputer in terms of computational ability still requires human operators.
Wu Hao's brain computing power only requires a single instantaneous thought to start rapid mental calculations.
Therefore, Wu Hao's research speed is naturally much faster than that of many scientists working together.
For some technologies that humans currently want to achieve, it may take ten years, decades, or even centuries. However, if Wu Hao were to research them, it might only take a few years, a few months, or even less time to completely devise a more advanced technology.
...
While Wu Hao immersed himself in researching his nuclear fusion reaction technology within the base, hundreds of kilometers away, in a hospital in Rong City, the hospital director and several chief doctors were still conducting research and discussions on a substance that could completely control the spread of cancer cells.
"Director, although we have conducted multiple studies and investigations on this patient in recent days, we still have no clue about the substance in this patient's body that can inhibit the spread of cancer cells."
"And we have reviewed all the surveillance videos in the hospital over the past month, but we haven't found any suspicious individuals who had contact with this patient or administered any other drugs to them," regretfully reported the chief doctor to the director.
"It seems difficult for our hospital to fully understand this substance within the patient's body," sighed the director, expressing regret in his tone. If their hospital could research and master this substance that controls the spread of cancer cells, it would bring tremendous fame and benefits to both the hospital and individuals involved.
However, they hadn't found the specific reason behind the cancer cell control in the bodies of these two patients, nor had they discovered any suspicious individuals who had interacted with them.
Contemplating this, the director pondered for a moment and continued, "Everyone, organize the data in your hands and the substances extracted from the patients' bodies. Share them with some domestic research institutes, so that they can jointly study and try to figure out how this substance is formed and works. Otherwise, relying solely on our hospital's capabilities, it would be difficult to find the final answer."
The director realized that it was impossible for their hospital to monopolize this honor. Although they had research laboratories internally, they were not the most professional ones in the country.
Since their hospital had no way forward, he would have to report the situation to higher authorities and let other research institutes collaborate in studying the formation and specific principles of this substance.
Because, currently, this substance that can control the spread of cancer cells belongs to a completely unknown category. They have no clue about its specific principles at all.
