Chapter 219: Metal hydrogen

The earth globe humans have been able to produce metal hydrogen in the laboratory, but there is no second laboratory to complete the experiment. It can only be said that it is suspected to have been prepared, and storage, transportation, weaponization, and so on are far away.

However, as a battery and a bomb, metal hydrogen is extremely promising.

According to the information provided by Octopus, there are two kinds of materials required for metal hydrogen bombs, namely solid hydrogen alloy and cracked pressure alloy.

Strictly speaking, the two materials are not metal, but a special compound formed by metal and metal.

There is only one effect of solid hydrogen alloy, which allows liquid hydrogen to form metallic hydrogen at a lower pressure, which is similar to adding dust required for crystallization in supercooled water to freeze it. Otherwise, how could this kind of thing be transported in the ancient atmosphere in a container that maintains a pressure of several million atmospheres, and die?

Fractured alloy is a material that is denser with higher pressure. The container it is made of is very special. At the beginning, liquid hydrogen will infiltrate directly, and it will be sealed soon after the system is pressurized, and then the inner wall of the container will be further increased by infiltration technology. Thickness, continue to pressurize the interior, it can be said that this thing is the biggest contributor to the large-scale application and transportation of metal hydrogen.

Both hydrogen-fixing materials and fracture-compression alloys are the major types of materials used in the application of metal hydrogen. They are divided into many types. The octopus provides only those that can be made under ancient technology at a certain price, and there are many other materials that must be processed in space. Necessary to provide,

The lower the level of technology, the higher the level of danger, but this part depends on the situation.

In the history book of Octopus, there were eight major accidents in the combination he provided, of which five were direct explosions, two of the explosions were raw material explosions, and three were metal hydrogen explosions.

Everything is divided into two sides. Before the eighth major accident caused the business people to have to replace the technology, the combination produced more than 2 billion tons of metal hydrogen, which means that every 250 million tons of metal hydrogen will be produced. A major accident.

Human operation will increase the accident rate, but it does not necessarily happen, and the probability is not the test of time, after all, it is just a number. I believe that as long as we are cautious enough, there will not be a big problem in safe production for a few years before everyone relaxes our vigilance.

In addition, judging from the situation of Tuqiu against monsters, if nuclear bomb replacements cannot be produced within a certain period of time, there is no need to consider accidents at all, and civilization will be wiped out.

Why do we need nuclear bomb substitutes?

Because of the supply chain.

For a planet with hundreds of countries like Earth Globe, the distribution of nuclear material resources cannot be exactly right. With the increase in monster attacks, various industrial chains are disconnected, and nuclear materials are not immune. At the level of star-level civilization, it is not that they will be able to defend wherever they want to be. It also depends on equipment. Can the logistical capabilities such as supplementation and diet be guaranteed?

In the world where the octopus lives, many branches of civilization have emerged in the post-immigrant era. The planetary branches have already experienced various extinctions, including but not limited to the disappearance of the geomagnetic field, the biochemical crisis, and the dramatic changes in temperature.

Of course, nuclear materials are quickly depleted. Metal hydrogen, as an alternative energy source between fission and fusion, was a particularly popular development direction in those places at that time.

Only water is needed in the production process of metal hydrogen, or water vapor can also replace the water consumption in the raw materials, and the production conditions are not harsh.

Starting from technology to practical speed, explosives will undoubtedly be faster. Just like explosives to bullets, nuclear explosions to nuclear power, hydrogen bombs to controlled fusion, etc., if the technical level is not weaponized, the explosion is directly regarded as a weapon. There are missiles. Supported by the system, the effect is not much different.

The density of hydrogen is very low, less than 90 grams per cubic meter under the standard pressure. The pressure generated by the sublimation and gasification of metal hydrogen is enough to make it a super weapon. In an aerobic atmosphere, it can add a variety of additions. Strange and weird bonuses, including explosions, large areas of freezing, high-density shock waves, and so on.

When used to fight monsters, its biggest disadvantage is that it cannot release gamma waves that are strong enough to decompose all molecules. But in addition, the pure physical strike power is not inferior to fission nuclear bombs, and it is environmentally friendly.

In order to get the new weapon on the stage as soon as possible, the octopus also added a section of metal hydrogen development overview after the two materials.

One set of technology has produced billions of tons of metallic hydrogen, which undoubtedly has a seemingly broad prospect, at least for the aerobic atmosphere.

Hydrogen has a very high calorific value, four to five times that of coal. It only produces pure water when burned, so even high-pressure hydrogen has practical value comparable to natural gas. Liquid or solid metallic hydrogen is actually a metal. Even if the density is low, it must be calculated by ton per cubic meter. Because of the very high pressure, the kinetic energy generated by the pressure relief process exceeds that of direct combustion. If you release it and burn it again, you will get the number. Times the energy.

The application of electricity is similar to that of fuel.

Don’t believe in the predictions of those blowing water in ancient times. Metal hydrogen is indeed a superconductor at room temperature, but the environment in which it exists cannot be used as a superconductor. The high-voltage environment is a problem, and the high-voltage wall also uses superconductors? What is the superconductivity of metal hydrogen?

The follow-up technical direction of metal hydrogen is actually to participate in low-temperature processing as an easy-to-plastic mold, which is a complete system for material processing in an ultra-high pressure environment. The disadvantage is also similar to the superconducting dilemma. No matter what method is used to enter and exit the workpiece in the ultra-high pressure environment, it involves multiple pressurization and depressurization. The depressurization actually removes energy and even material. The scale of the factory must be large enough. Only by putting in and taking out a sufficient amount of raw materials and workpieces can you realize the various advantages of this processing method.

However, the larger the ultra-high pressure vessel, the more difficult it is to manufacture, and its capacity limit is predictable, and the future is far from the building block factory.

It also has energy weapons branches and other directions.

There is a short note at the end of the data: Metal hydrogen is ultimately the result of human compression of energy. Compared with those methods that exchange energy at the cost of mass loss, the road ahead of metal hydrogen is only about three meters as far away. Of course, we can still look forward to the day when mankind masters the technology of directly using protium to stabilize nuclear fusion in a limited space. At that time, the energy contained in metal hydrogen is more than just present.

Human fusion technology uses various compounds such as deuterium tritium and helium III. In this regard, the octopus has not evolved much in the era, unless the ratio of input energy to output energy is not considered, it is barely able to fusion. s things.

The direct use of protium for nuclear fusion is the power of stars. If it can be done, the Dyson sphere will be overshadowed, because a star can directly use protium for nuclear fusion, but it can also directly fuse carbon into iron.

When it comes to the point where the energy benefit from carbon iron accumulation is still greater than the expenditure, one can say something arrogantly: The timetable for the heat death of the universe, mankind has the final say!

After blowing a big pass, things still have to be done a little bit.

The C National Academy of Sciences, which has acquired intelligence from aliens (futures), received a grant in an instant to start preliminary research.

Materials science has never been mysterious. It has countless similarities with exhaustive methods. The development of science to this day has only been able to carry out small-scale exhaustion under the premise of a vague direction.

The materials provided by the aliens are not difficult to synthesize after seeing the detailed information including the synthesis conditions and sequence.

The hydrogen-fixing alloy is similar to some current hydrogen-fixing materials for batteries, but the effect is very strange.

Scientists used a container with a small amount of solid hydrogen alloy to do hydrogen liquefaction experiments, and found that it will cause hydrogen liquefaction under normal pressure at minus 241 degrees. In the standard group, the temperature needs to exceed 11 atmospheres to achieve hydrogen liquefaction.

Because hydrogen itself is unwilling to liquefy under these conditions, the liquid hydrogen in the container increases during boiling and reaches a certain amount to achieve equilibrium. After several experiments, it is proved that the total amount of liquid hydrogen that finally reaches boiling equilibrium is proportional to the weight of the solid hydrogen alloy.

The variable is the integrity of the solid hydrogen alloy. Compared with multiple small cylinders, a cylindrical alloy has a smaller surface area but a larger amount of solid hydrogen.

Continue the experiment, all using a single cylindrical alloy, the result proves that the total amount of liquid hydrogen and the alloy mass are a fixed ratio!

The experiment of fracturing alloys is a headache. The more pressurized this thing, the higher the strength. One set of laboratory equipment was destroyed, and all the current data were not measured.

It stands to reason, can't this feature be used to make high-strength materials?

Alien material is so outrageous, no!

When there is no internal and external pressure, the internal stress of the fractured alloy will gradually return to the initial state. The process is not drawn in a straight line, and the change will become slower and slower as the internal force is released. Forget the pain of the observers' idleness, it will take about two hundred years to completely restore the original state.

The last two materials combined metal hydrogen generation experiment, the above attaches great importance to it, and directly emptied a laboratory in no man's land, and the air carrier and equipment used to do the experiment.

The two materials specially created for the production of metallic hydrogen made the experiment so smoothly unbelievable. Two days later, a spherical object with a total weight of three kilograms was produced.

Until the thing was made, a centrifugal experiment was done to prove that the inside was indeed solid metal, and the experts didn't understand what happened in the process that they didn't know. But one thing can be confirmed, the internal pressure is far less than a million atmospheres, at most "only" tens of thousands.

According to the data, a small pit was left when shaping the finished product. It is the pressure relief point of the finished metal hydrogen, and the power to detonate it also enters from here.

As a result, I didn't expect the following things to be even more bizarre.

I tried to explode twice, but it didn't explode the ball!

Forget it if it didn't explode. The second time the ball was blown off from the fixed part targeted by various detection instruments. To avoid the extremely dangerous items being dug up by others, a regiment of soldiers was temporarily transferred to help find it.

Everyone together~www.wuxiaspot.com~ don't mess around and ask the aliens.

The octopus cooperates very well. The simplest answer is the electric furnace. If you want to explode to the millisecond accuracy, use a high-power laser.

Regardless of repeated use, the technical threshold for releasing high-energy lasers in a short period of time is not high. Contact a special research institute and get a few lasers.

But it may be that everyone is not accustomed to dealing with aliens and misunderstood other people's definition of high power. As a result, when the laser was pestle down, it exploded after a full 100 seconds delay.

The power of the explosion did not disappoint, including a three kilogram ball with the shell, and the power of the explosion was close to half a ton of TNT. This is still the result of a shock wave driven by a simple pressure explosion. If we can further find a way to detonate hydrogen at the same time as the pressure detonation, the power will be several orders of magnitude, and it seems that it can reach thousands of tons of equivalent.

However, everyone is beginning to understand what the octopus means by high power. It is probably necessary to penetrate the sphere and the metal hydrogen inside to explode instantly.

There are still many problems with weaponizing it, but with the help of aliens, at least it is more hopeful than before to fight against monsters, and bombs are easy to transport by air, maybe they will participate in actual combat earlier than electromagnetic weapons.
