Silicon Valley

After the establishment of Ares, it has become the world's number one arms dealer. At present, the total number of employees of Ares is 220,000!

Many countries or institutions sent congratulatory messages to Ares, and officials who had dealt with Henry even called to express their congratulations. In his words, he euphemistically expressed that he hoped that the Ares company could sell weapons to China, but Henry refused.

The U.S. government prohibits the sale of weapons to China. Although Ares is powerful, it is still an American company.

Although it was rejected, it was within Xie Guoan's expectation. Later, he euphemistically proposed that God of War would not sell too many arms to Taiwan.

Lockheed Martin is Taiwan's largest arms supplier. If the arms supply from Lockheed Martin is lost, the Taiwan military will be paralyzed immediately.

Hearing this, Henry laughed without saying a word.

Neither refuse nor agree. The meaning of this depends on the Chinese government's own understanding...

At this time, Henry also successfully completed the acquisition of Westinghouse's nuclear energy division. Westinghouse's nuclear power technology is the world's first, combined with this technology, aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines can be even more powerful! In the future, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft will definitely use nuclear energy!

Henry merged Westinghouse's nuclear energy department into the WilliamsX laboratory, and gave it a name "X Nuclear Energy Company", and transferred many engineers from British energy companies to the company to strengthen its technical strength. The reason for taking this name is obviously a lot of hope, mainly researching nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fission is the splitting of a large atom into two smaller atoms, while nuclear fusion is the synthesis of two smaller atoms into a larger atom. Whether it is splitting or synthesizing, huge energy is released in the process!

Nuclear fission has entered commercial use, and nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity.

However, nuclear fission is far from nuclear fusion.

The energy released by nuclear fusion is much higher than the energy released by nuclear fission! The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion. It is conceivable how powerful nuclear fusion is! ! ! The hydrogen bomb is made by the principle of nuclear fusion, and to detonate the hydrogen bomb, you must first detonate a nuclear fission atomic bomb. it's here. Atomic bombs are nothing but ignition!

In addition, fission reactors have extremely limited nuclear fuel reserves, which not only produce powerful radiation. Harm to the human body, and the waste that has been left for thousands of years is difficult to deal with, while the radiation of nuclear fusion is much less, and the fuel for nuclear fusion can be said to be inexhaustible. Inexhaustible.

The fuel of nuclear fusion reaction is hydrogen isotope deuterium, tritium and noble gas 3He, among which deuterium and tritium are extremely abundant on earth. It is measured that every 1 liter of seawater contains 30 mg of deuterium, and the energy produced by fusion of 30 mg of deuterium is equivalent to 300 liters of gasoline, which means that 1 liter of seawater can produce energy equivalent to 300 liters of gasoline. The calorific value of tritium is equivalent to 20 million times that of the same coal. There are 4.5 billion tons of deuterium naturally present in seawater. Convert seawater into energy through nuclear fusion. According to the current world energy consumption level, it can be used by human beings for hundreds of millions of years!

Unlike radioactive deuterium and tritium, 3He is an inert gas, which is safer to operate, cleaner and more efficient than deuterium and tritium fusion! Scientists believe that 3He is the most suitable and ideal fuel for nuclear fusion! However, there are no 3He deposits on Earth. But there are on the moon. Can provide the earth to use for 700 years. And 3He on Jupiter and Saturn is almost endless!

At present, countries around the world have established 3He research centers, and X Nuclear Energy's research will also include 3He.

When the time is right, Henry wants SpaceX to mine on other planets.

Henry doesn't want to rob mines on earth with those people, and they come to space to rob...

Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures to react. In addition to using atomic bombs to ignite, lasers are the most commonly used. The output power of lasers can reach tens or even millions of watts, which is enough to "ignite" nuclear fusion!

Henry's Hughes Laboratory is one of the strongest research institutions in the laser field!

Obviously, Henry has done a lot of work in order to study nuclear fusion.

In Henry's cognition. Nuclear fusion is probably the ultimate energy source for mankind. Whoever masters nuclear fusion will have the right to speak in the future!

Make an "Ark Reactor" like Iron Man, and then make an Iron Man armor, it seems very cool! However, steel armor is inconvenient to wear. If it can be made into biological armor, it will be even more hanging! Of course, Henry just thought about it, God knows when it will come true?

The research on nuclear fusion is a long way to go, and the research and development funds needed are probably astronomical! But to be a human being, you have to have a dream. Now that you have been reborn, you must do some difficult and challenging things! Desperately making money, burning desperately, there will always be a day when the dream will come true!

With a big wave of Henry's hand, $10 billion was given to X Nuclear Energy to burn!

...

After the establishment of X Nuclear Energy Company, Henry also immediately strengthened the cooperation between X Nuclear Energy Company and Newport-News Shipyard! Nuclear energy research at Newport-news shipyard is also not to be underestimated, because Newport-news needs nuclear energy researchers, so Henry did not transfer Newport-news shipyard technicians to X Nuclear Energy. But with the cooperation of the two companies, X Nuclear Energy can directly take the shipyard's technology back for research, so it doesn't matter.

At present, the Newport-news shipyard is not merged into the Ares company, but exists independently. Henry's plan is that in the future, the sea, land, and air will each form a system, but they must be connected with each other, and they must be the overlords of their respective fields!

Now, Ares has become the king of the air force, and the Newport-news shipyard can be regarded as the overlord in the sea, but the army is worse! But, it doesn't matter, take your time... Maybe there will be a space army in the future!

A week or two later, George Joy, CEO of the Newport-news shipyard, flew to San Jose, accompanied by two engineers in their thirties and forties.

"Mr Williams, your last design, the Adastra, has been modified by us and is now complete."

Henry said happily: "Did you bring the design drawings?"

George Joy dug out a document from his bag and handed it to Henry.

Henry took a look and compared it with the previous one. Indeed, a lot of changes have been made, but the general appearance is still the same as before, except that all the data of the ship have been modified...
