Chapter 525 Launching a Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier

Ye Chen's vision has always been good, and his actions are even more miraculous. Even if some things are shocking, Ye Chen is finally proved to be right. Everyone was full of expectations for Ye Chen and wanted to listen carefully to Ye Chen's reasons.

"Based on the current technical conditions, the nuclear fusion engine is really advanced and difficult to complete. However, I think this is the most suitable power for our national space program." Ye Chen explained his reasons.

Ge Laobai glanced at Ye Chen, and said to himself that you know how to be ahead? Isn’t that a bit ahead of the curve, very ahead of its time, okay?

The chief and the others exchanged glances thoughtfully.

"Xiaoye, tell me in detail." The chief was very interested, and leaned forward, getting closer to Ye Chen.

Not only the chief is interested, who is not interested here? Even Ge Lao, who was rushing to talk with Ye Chen, was also in high spirits.

"Our country's space strategy can be divided into three categories: short-term, medium-term and long-term. The short-term plan should be the asteroid mining plan. The medium-term strategy is the moon development plan. The long-term plan should be more distant planets than the moon, such as Mars Jupiter, Mercury, etc. No matter what kind of plan it is, we need a stable, safe, efficient and sustainable power. Judging from the power technology that humans currently have, only nuclear energy can meet the needs." Ye Chen explained his views in detail.

This statement was unanimously approved, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"With the explosive population growth and the rapid consumption of earth's resources, fossil energy can still be used for decades, at most a hundred years. After a hundred years, fossil energy will be exhausted, although new energy is aimed at combustible ice. Regardless Whether it is fossil energy or combustible ice, the energy on the earth will always be consumed. The same is true for mineral resources. In a word, mankind will eventually face the cruel reality of having no resources and no energy. Therefore, some scientists are warning mankind , to escape from the earth within a hundred years. Although this is a bit exaggerated, the trend of humans having to leave the earth due to the exhaustion of earth resources and energy will not change." The chief said with a serious face.

Modern science and technology has made great progress, human society is unprecedentedly prosperous, our material is very rich, and human life is better. However, the consumption of resources is terrible, especially the consumption of oil is even more alarming. The world's oil can support human use for at most one hundred years.

Once the oil runs out, it's combustible ice. Although combustible ice technology does not have practical value now, several major countries are doing research.

What's more interesting is that several major powers unanimously proposed to develop new energy sources.

Why develop new energy? The thing is, oil doesn't last long.

I ran out of combustible ice,

What to do?

Resources are getting less and less, but the population is increasing, and the pressure of human survival will be unprecedentedly strong. It has become inevitable to escape from the earth and obtain the resources needed for human survival outside the earth.

Therefore, some scientists have proposed that human beings should escape from the earth within a hundred years.

This is a bit of an exaggeration. It is difficult for human beings to escape from the earth in a hundred years. Human technology may not be able to support the needs of human beings to escape from the earth, and it is such a huge project for so many people to escape from the earth.

However, this trend of human beings escaping from the earth will not change. Sooner or later, human beings must escape from the earth.

Sooner or later what time is it?

That is, when the earth can no longer support human survival, human beings have to leave the earth.

This day, with the rapid consumption of earth resources and energy, is not far away.

"It is precisely because of this that our country has proposed a space program in three steps. The first step is to realize the mining of asteroids to supplement the shortage of earth resources. The second step is to develop the moon program. The moon has the earth One-sixth the size, it is a treasure, which contains rich mineral energy resources. The third step is to march further into the starry sky on this basis, such as Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury." The chief continued.

Speaking of this, the chief paused, and said: "In these three steps, only when the second step is realized can human beings truly gain a foothold in space. Only when the moon is successfully developed can human beings go further. The reason Where? Energy! That's helium-3."

In our nation's space program, the development of the lunar program is the most promising and best way to meet human needs. However, the difficulty of the lunar development plan is quite high, which is unbelievably high.

Therefore, it is a practical way to mine asteroids first to supplement the earth's resources.

There are many resources on the moon, but what fascinates humans the most is helium-3. If the development of the moon can be completed, our country, and even human beings, will not have to worry about energy depletion.

The chief made a gesture to Ye Chen and handed back the words to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen continued: "Our country's space program is ambitious and has broad prospects. If it is really realized, human beings will no longer have to worry about the lack of minerals and energy. However, if it is to be realized, there must be new power and research and development. nuclear fusion engine."

Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement.

Chemical energy, which is the fuel used by rockets today, is inefficient and energy-intensive, and cannot meet our country's space program. Our country must find a new type of power that can replace chemical energy, and nuclear fusion engines have become the only choice.

"If in the past, the research on nuclear fusion engines was too sci-fi, it would be difficult to complete at our current level. However, as our country has achieved great success in nuclear technology, with new reactors, the technical difficulty has been reduced. The research on nuclear fusion engines The time is ripe. It may take decades, even a hundred years, or even longer for the research to be successful. However, we must do this kind of preparation well and lay a solid foundation." Ye Chen continued to explain.

"It makes sense! It makes sense!" The father of the hydrogen bomb took the lead in supporting it.

"Nuclear technology is a fierce horse that is difficult to tame, causing headaches for the world. Now, our country has tamed this fierce horse and can study nuclear fusion engines." Mr. Pan also supported it.

"The new reactor is very stable, safe, high-efficiency, and highly sustainable. It is very suitable as the power of our national space program. I am in favor of researching nuclear fusion engines." Ge Lao also expressed his opinion.

"support!"

"support!"

General Xiao and the others also supported it.

"Xiaoye, thank you for making a very good suggestion." The chief smiled and appreciated it very much.

Everyone looked at Ye Chen with admiration.

Ye Chen is worthy of being a world-renowned scientist. He sees far, thinks deeply, and asks profound questions.

"The Chief has praised me, this is what I should do." Ye Chen said humbly.

"Xiaoye made a very good suggestion, who will lead the army?" The chief looked around the crowd and asked a very realistic question.

Ye Chen's proposal to study nuclear fusion engines is absolutely appropriate, but this requires an excellent team. At the same time, a leader is needed. Otherwise, it is just empty talk.

"It goes without saying, right? Whoever proposes it will take the lead." Weng Ziqi said.

"Yes!" There was a voice of agreement, and many people responded.

Ye Chen is so powerful, if he doesn't stand up, who will stand up? This is the most suitable candidate, okay?

"This is not possible. I have too many things to do now, and I am too busy." Ye Chen said hastily.

I don't know how long it will take to deal with super rice. This is Ye Chen's next priority. This matter is more important than studying nuclear fusion engines.

The nuclear fusion engine is very important, but how can it be important for human beings to evolve to a higher level?

People are fundamental!

"Scientist Ye, you brought up this matter. Besides, you are the most suitable candidate, aren't you? You see, everyone supports you, so don't refuse." Weng Ziqi said again.

She was booing, but she was supported by many people.

"Well, Xiaoye really doesn't have enough skills to do both. What I mean is to form another team to do this. Xiaoye, you can also serve as a consultant." Of course, the chief knows what Ye Chen is busy with now, and he personally confessed Of course, the task given to Ye Chen will not add to Ye Chen's burden.

"I agree." Admiral Xiao also knew how important what Ye Chen was going to do, and supported the chief.

"I agree." Admiral Luo and the others agreed.

"As for who is instigating this burden, let's study it." The chief thought for a while.

Ye Chen is indeed the most suitable person, but he has too many things to do, it is not easy to find a suitable person, and he really needs to do more research.

"Xiaoye, you are very good. You can always put forward very forward-looking suggestions." The chief especially appreciated Ye Chen.

The study of nuclear fusion engines is of great significance and far-reaching impact. It is a major event related to whether human beings can enter space. If Ye Chen hadn't brought it up, it might have been ignored.

Even if someone brought it up, I don't know when it went.

"Sir, stop praising me." Ye Chen blushed.

"Xiaoye, you are blushing, is there an inside story?" Admiral Xiao's observation skills are too keen.

"No, no." Ye Chen hurriedly denied.

"The more you deny it, the more I believe there is something inside. Let's dig it out, shall we?" Admiral Xiao booed.

Everyone is in a good mood today, the soul of gossip is on fire, and even the chief wants to find out the inside story, saying: "I agree with Lao Xiao's words. Xiaoye, tell me, how did you think of it?"

"Say it quickly." Everyone looked at Ye Chen and urged.

"It's nothing." How could Ye Chen say that.

"There must be an inside story. Xiaoye, if you don't give us a satisfactory answer, I'll leave the matter of the nuclear fusion engine to you." The chief smiled, and Ye Chen felt that something was wrong.

The crowd booed again.

"Okay, I said it, don't laugh at me." Seeing that the limelight was wrong, Ye Chen had to admit it.

"We don't joke." The chief said seriously.

"I dreamed about it last night." Ye Chen said truthfully.

"Dreaming? Come on, stop talking." The chief waved his right hand, so he couldn't believe it.

"That's right, who are you lying to?" Everyone didn't believe it.

Ye Chen was speechless. To tell the truth, you don't believe me.

"I was a little busy yesterday. I always felt that there was one thing I didn't understand. I ignored it when I was too sleepy. I went back to sleep. I figured it out in my dream. After waking up, I thought about the research conditions of nuclear fusion. It's really mature, and I really have to do it." Ye Chen said again.

"Really?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
