Great Country Academician

The second and third generations and miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion are just a part of this plan.

Hearing what Xu Chuan said, the old man was somewhat shocked.

As for controllable nuclear fusion technology, he must have some understanding.

Aside from the previous decades, even after the start of the Lixiao Demonstration Reactor project, he also supplemented a lot of relevant knowledge.

Deuterium-tritium (DT) controllable nuclear fusion, now known as the Daybreak Demonstration Reactor, is the first generation of nuclear fusion technology divided in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, and it is also the easiest to implement.

Behind the deuterium-tritium (DT) controllable nuclear fusion, there is the second-generation deuterium and helium triple fusion, and the third-generation pure helium triple fusion.

The second and third generations of fusion are much stronger than the first generation in terms of energy release and neutron radiation damage.

Of course, correspondingly, the difficulty of realizing the second-generation and third-generation controllable nuclear fusion is naturally much higher. Not to mention the miniaturization of controllable nuclear fusion is included in the discourse, which is also an extremely difficult technology.

However, this is only part of his grand plan.

With a simple sentence, the old man can imagine how huge the plan in the heart of the young man in front of him is.

But he was also curious about what kind of plan this was.

Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to the shock on the old man's face, he continued: "Not only controllable nuclear fusion, but also manned spaceflight, moon landing, fire landing, moon and Mars colonies, etc., are all here. There is a plan."

"You should be very clear that even if controlled nuclear fusion liberates energy, the resources and land on the earth are still limited, and we cannot stop the pace of development, so in order to obtain more resources and land, sooner or later our eyes They all look at the stars above their heads.”

"Where there are endless resources and possibilities."

"On the premise that the energy has been solved, we can release the productivity one step ahead of other countries and look up at the sea of ​​stars above us. Whether it is the moon or Mars, it is a new continent for us."

"And in this set of plans, the scientific researchers in the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project are our strength, and we will try our best to keep them and form a brand new institution."

"And in this institution, various technologies related to this set of plans can be gradually researched."

Hearing what Xu Chuan said, the old man couldn't help swallowing dryly. Even for him, this plan can be said to be extremely crazy.

The controllable nuclear fusion technology can only be realized. This man has already set his sights on the moon above his head, and even on Mars, planning colonization and other things.

Taking a deep breath, the old man couldn't help asking: "Is this step a little too big?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's just restarting aerospace, it's nothing."

After a slight pause, he continued: "If I want to transform Mars and make it our second home, so that we don't need any space suits, colonies, or build protection bases, let People can live on Mars just like they live on Earth, don’t you think I’m crazy?”

Hearing this thought, the old man's pupils constricted violently, and his breathing became a little short of breath.

Terraforming Mars? Let it become a second home, let them live on Mars as they live on Earth.

Can this kind of thing really be done with the current technology and their power?

If it wasn't for the idea coming from the person in front of him, he would definitely feel that the other person has gone crazy.

But from the mouth of the person in front of him, he unexpectedly had a glimmer of expectation in his heart.

After all, if this is really done, it will expand the territory!

For the people living on this land, to expand the territory for the motherland is the greatest achievement, honor and charm since ancient times! It is also the most desirable thing.

After taking two deep breaths, the old man calmed himself down: "Can you talk to me about this in detail?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Actually, I've been thinking about this plan for a long time. In theory, we might be able to do it."

"At the end of last year, I saw a piece of news about "NASA's "Perseverance" Mars rover successfully landed on Mars and sent back the first photo from the United States."

"In the later time, I collected some information about Mars."

"According to the information I have collected, Mars is quite close to the Earth in all aspects. When it was formed and developed in the early stage, it can be said to be a pair of twins with the Earth, and they are both in the suitable line for life."

"The only difference is that in the early days of Mars, something happened to it that cooled the metallic core of Mars."

"The flow of the metal liquid core is the key to bringing a magnetic field to a planet, resisting the stellar wind, and protecting the ecological environment on the surface. Just like our earth, the magnetic field brought by the flow of the liquid core protects the atmosphere of the parent star. Let it derive an environment suitable for the development of life."

"Mars was not so lucky, and its core may have cooled prematurely, causing it to lose most of its magnetic field."

"If we can find a way to reactivate the core of Mars and let it flow, Mars can regain its magnetic field. With a magnetic field, it has the ability to protect itself from stellar winds, and the atmosphere can maintain gone."

Hearing this, the old man frowned and asked, "Can this be done?"

Xu Chuan smiled, and said: "If the core of Mars is completely cooled, I am afraid that with our current technology and capabilities, it is impossible to activate it."

"But from the information I have collected, the core of Mars has not completely cooled down. It may be in a semi-sleeping state, or it may be in a state of recovery."

"The evidence for this is that Mars still has a weak magnetic field, and Mars satellites have observed signs of volcanic eruptions on Mars in recent years."

"No matter which one it is, they all need geological activities to support them, which means that the core of Mars may not be as 'cold' as we thought."

"If this is the case, maybe I really have a way to reactivate the core of Mars and let it have a magnetic field again."

Hearing this, the old man's heart jumped. He thought for a while and asked, "Even if there is a magnetic field, what about the atmosphere? How do you plan to solve the atmosphere? The atmosphere on Mars should be quite thin now, right? If there is a source of water or something, these are probably problems.”

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "That's right, the current atmosphere on the surface of Mars is indeed very thin, so thin that humans can't breathe on it."

"However, judging from the data I collected before, the surface soil of Mars contains a lot of carbon dioxide and other gases. If we can find a way to excite it, theoretically it should be enough to form a complete atmospheric circulation on the surface of Mars. mechanism."

"As for the source of water, there is also solid water at the two levels of Mars and the Grand Canyon of the Mariner. These things have been discovered by probes."

"Of course, the specific number of them still needs to be checked in detail."

"But from the data I have collected, Mars does have the potential to be transformed and become our second home. It is also worth investing money, time and future in it."

"It's just that this should be a fairly long period of time. It may be ten years or even a hundred years. It may be necessary to bring other countries together to do this, but I think it can be given a try."

After a pause, Xu Chuan continued: "Of course, this is only the ultimate goal of this plan."

"Although we may not be able to see the ultimate goal of this plan, nor may it be realized in this era, but as long as we start, the latecomers will definitely follow in our footsteps."

"Moreover, in the early stage of this plan, we are not without gains. Developing the next generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology, aerospace technology, detection technology, colonization technology, etc. are all things we can do and need to do."

"Even without the ultimate transformation plan I proposed, these things are the way we need to go next, but I just connected them together."

"With all due respect, although we are now ahead in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, I believe that other countries will definitely invest in it crazily. At the latest twenty years, or even ten years, they may develop Its own controllable nuclear fusion technology."

"After all, you also know that on the basis of a technology that has been realized, no matter how much you do to keep it secret, it is impossible to control it forever."

"Just like the nuclear bomb, after the Manhattan Project completed the research and development of the nuclear bomb, Hongsu found out his own nuclear bomb in only four years. Including us, we also developed it in the near future."

"When a technology has been completed, it is easy for the latecomers to grope forward in the footsteps of the predecessors to cross the river."

"In the past, we crossed the river by touching others, but now it is the turn of others to cross the river by touching us."

"So it is impossible to hold on to the controllable nuclear fusion technology forever, but if we want to continue to lead in this field, it is undoubtedly the best choice to continue to invest in it, develop next-generation products, and even expand to other fields. "

"After all, there is no reason why we should lag behind others in the future when we have mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology first."

After hearing Xu Chuan's grand plan and future arrangements, the old man took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

I have to say that today's remarks can be regarded as deceit, but he is indeed a little moved by this kind of deception.

But it's one thing to be excited, and another to determine whether to implement it. He still needs more suggestions and considerations.

Nodding his head, the old man replied seriously: "We will seriously consider your suggestion."

PS: I am asking for a monthly ticket for the second watch. Regarding the future direction and setting, I hope everyone will like it.
