The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World

However, so far, in addition to the fact that the inner wall of the core reactor is quickly damaged by neutron irradiation, the input energy is much greater than the output energy, which is also the main reason why the experimental reactor has not been able to enter commercial use.

The original fusion experimental reactor, whether it was the internationally-cooperated International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor iter or the domestic Oriental Super Ring, used laser ignition.

Multiple laser beams are focused at the center of the reactor to reach temperatures exceeding tens of millions of degrees, allowing the fusion reaction raw materials under high pressure to produce fusion.

The key lies in the ignition device.

As the ignition device of the reactor, of course it must meet high power and sustainability.

With these two types, their size will definitely not be small. However, the current experimental reactor and the commercial reactor in the future are huge in themselves. With the ignition device, they are not much larger, but there will be no difference.

However, Yang Qing's fusion reactor is not only used to generate electricity, it will also be the energy core of the entire base. In the future, it will also be the energy source for spacecraft and battleships traveling in the universe, so the size must not be too large.

In other words, it should be distinguished. In bases or other locations, in fixed places that are not sensitive to volume, high-power and large-volume fusion reactors can be built, while on spacecraft, small and low-power reactors need to be built. reactor.

Although the reactor at a fixed location can also use the ignition device commonly used on Blue Star, Yang Qing's research has always been one step ahead.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has ready-made examples that he can dig down.

Isn't it just temperature that a reactor requires? Then wouldn't it be great to directly create a flame atmosphere with a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees in the center of the reactor?

The fusion of helium-3 is very demanding. After all, this is an experiment that has never been done on a blue star. This kind of reaction does not even exist inside the sun.

Once the sun develops helium fusion, everyone should be able to see a scene of wandering around the earth, which means that the sun will have a helium flash.

Therefore, the reason why Yang Qing gave up on Blue Star's ignition route was because these laser ignitions may not be able to successfully ignite nuclear materials and produce fusion.

Although such fusion does not occur on the sun, it does not mean that its high temperature of 60 million degrees and huge pressure cannot fuse helium. It is simply because the amount of helium is too scarce in the huge volume of the sun. .

When helium-3 appears, it has long been forced to react with the hydrogen atoms inside, and there is no chance of collision with each other. It is like a drop of ink falling into a sea and soon no other ink molecules can be found. .

Yang Qing and Xiao Ai designed the ignition according to the standard of 150 million degrees.

In ancient times, the design of talisman arrays has reached its peak, and as monks strengthen their own protection, the fire talisman array, which is the most lethal, has naturally increased. The specific manifestation is that the temperature is getting higher and higher. .

This 150 million degrees is actually just the beginning. If it is not enough, Yang Qing can stack several in a row to reach at least 200 million degrees.

At such a temperature, even if a powerful monk in the transformation stage enters it, he will not be able to hold on for long before he is turned into a puff of green smoke and evaporates directly.

The most important thing is that these talisman arrays are small in size and easy to compress. As the supply of spiritual energy increases, the temperature of the flame will become higher and higher. The reactor made in this way is very suitable as a power source for the spacecraft.

Although most functions on current spacecraft require spiritual energy as an energy source to operate.

But in blue stars and the solar system, spiritual energy is also an extremely scarce resource. Maybe there will be a rich spiritual energy environment inside gaseous planets like the sun or Jupiter, but on a few rocky planets, there is still space. Definitely a scarcity.

Therefore, fusion reactors generate electricity and then use the electricity to produce aura, which is the best source of energy for future spacecrafts.

However, the fusion reactor has not yet been established. Although Yang Qing has theoretically completed the application of the fusion reactor, until now, a real fusion reactor has not been built and operated, and it is still not available on Blue Star. , a pure fusion reactor using helium 3 as raw material.

So this first time, it still needs to be built near the base, not directly to the reactor at the main base.

Naturally, some bugs will be found through the operation of the fusion reactor, and they will be put into the base after modification.

Although the reactor cannot be put into construction until the engineering vehicles and site clearance are completed, another important task, the collection of helium-3 raw materials, is about to begin.

Although helium-3 can be separated from the lunar soil through simple heating, is it not just helium-3 that can be separated from the lunar soil?

There is a lot of ice in the lunar soil. By heating and evaporating, the ice can be melted and a lot of water can be obtained.

Water is the source of life. On an extremely barren moon, worse than a desert, water is thousands of times more important than on a blue star.

On Blue Star, even if all fresh water resources are exhausted, at least there is still an endless ocean.

Even though the consumption of seawater desalination has never been reduced, at the moment when there is real water shortage, it is developing faster than ever.

But on the moon, there is simply no such huge reserves of water resources that are easy to exploit.

Therefore, every water resource on the moon is vital and worth cherishing, even more important than energy.

While Yang Qing and Xiao Ai were talking, several construction machinery that had been assembled inside the Moon Palace Base were rumbled out of it.

In order to facilitate production and transportation, assembly factories are directly exposed to vacuum. Anyway, the producers are not humans, but robots, and there is no need for the existence of air at all.

And there is a great advantage in vacuum, that is, there is no annoying dust and oxidation, which affects the assembly accuracy.

Because construction machinery, especially forklifts and excavators, omit the hydraulic system, thus saving a lot of space and production difficulty.

Although the artificial muscles are chemical compounds, they have no effect when exposed to a vacuum. A heating device is added to them to allow them to move freely at extremely low temperatures.

And it is also a low temperature, with a temperature of more than 180 degrees below zero, and the surface is in a vacuum state. In addition to evaporation, heat also radiates, and there is basically no way to dissipate heat.

Vacuum is an insulator of heat. There is no liquid in these artificial muscles, so there is no evaporation and heat dissipation. The energy transmitted by radiation is far less than the heat emitted when doing work.

Therefore, the heating device of the artificial muscle only plays a small role in the initial stage. After the real work begins, it needs to dissipate heat.
