It's just that this kind of metal ceramic is very different from the same kind on Blue Star.

The cermets on Blue Star are still ceramics in the final analysis, but Yang Qing's cermets have the characteristics of both metal and ceramics.

In particular, they have extremely strong deceleration characteristics for thermal neutrons. Even if the first layer of the shell leaks, it will not cause the generation of nuclear radiation.

This characteristic is the reason why it is used as a reactor shell.

The first step in installing the reactor is to level the ground. For a reactor covering an area of ​​20 square meters, the error should not exceed one millimeter.

Of course, it is impossible for the reactor to be located directly on the ground. At Blue Star, they had already completed the production of the base of the reactor, and it was now being lifted directly off the transport vehicle.

Although the weight of this base is as high as more than ten tons, the power of four heavy-duty robots is enough to lift a cart of forty or fifty tons. Especially on the moon, a planet with a gravity only one-sixth of the Blue Star, it becomes even more difficult. Simple.

Although there is no crane here, the crane also has great limitations, especially when the ground is moving.

On the contrary, the four robots moved in unison. Even when the base was lifted, it was extremely stable and did not shake at all.

They gently lifted the base and placed it on the ground in front of Yang Qing, as if laying down a ball of cotton, with no trace of its weight.

Yang Qing moved his fingers, and the flat ground began to grow quietly, and soon the base was completely surrounded and connected together.

Now the entire base seems to be growing together with the ground, and the base will no longer slide due to huge vibrations during operation.

After the base was installed, several robots continued to remove the parts from it.

Because these things are all semi-finished products, only assembly is left. Therefore, the work of these robots is actually only to tighten the screws and connect the various components with fool-proof design, including the core cabin. At the same time, Also do a good job of sealing.

Although the moon is a vacuum and there is gravity, there is almost no dust in the air, and the environment is better than most electronic-grade clean rooms on the blue star.

However, Yang Qing still used a dust-purifying technique, so that there was no trace of dust within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area. Even the soles of the robot's feet could not carry away any dust.

The robot also accelerated the pace of assembly. In just over an hour, a small experimental pile appeared in front of Yang Qing.

Yang Qing closed his eyes slightly, and used his consciousness through the shell to check every connection point to see if there would be air leakage, and most importantly, whether the runes inside were damaged.

You must know that the route of this experimental reactor is completely different from that of Blue Star.

It is neither the giant magnetic field of a tokamak nor the plasma turbulence in a stellarator. Instead, it uses an array to achieve a super-strong pressure structure similar to a star.

Therefore, those shells are actually not of much use. As long as the problem of the runes being supported in the air is solved, even if the reaction materials are directly exposed to the vacuum, it will not affect the progress of the fusion reaction.

As Yang Qing completed his inspection, he nodded slightly. Several robots took out a large number of spirit stones from a box made of shielding material and added them to a spirit stone furnace in the reactor.

This place is responsible for drawing the spiritual energy out of the spiritual stone. This spiritual energy is also the energy source of the entire reactor, including the pressure array and the frost array.

The final step is to install a cylinder containing helium-3 gas with a pressure of about 50 times the atmospheric pressure and a purity of about 20% on the connector of the reactor raw material input.

There are many such joints, enough to ensure the supply of raw materials to the reactor.

Yang Qing suddenly made a magic trick, and the inside of the core cabin, the most central position, suddenly gained a little more energy out of thin air.

It is still in a vacuum here, and there are not even a few basic particles, which is not enough to reveal the plasma state of the flame. However, the energy accumulation is just like the quantum fluctuations that often occur in vacuum. If you have suitable observation tools, you can It was found that at the center position, the quantum state increased a lot out of thin air.

Yang Qing's consciousness swept over, and he could still feel the growth of this quantum state, but even if this fluctuation was completely converted into heat energy, it would only lift about one cubic meter in the center of the core cabin. As high as 10,000 degrees.

Although there is no natural material that can absorb such a temperature, it can be regarded as the sky fire of the prehistoric world, but it is still far from igniting nuclear fusion.

However, being able to create such a temperature rise has already consumed one percent of his true energy. According to the calculation of helium fusion and a temperature of at least 100 million degrees, his true energy is far from being able to provide such energy.

So you have to use those flame formations. Although the most powerful flame formations can only heat a certain location by about 5,000 degrees, thousands of miniature flame formations combined can produce hundreds of millions of degree of high temperature.

Talisman arrays, especially this specific talisman array, consume a lot of spiritual energy, let alone thousands of them combined together.

Even if they are turned on simultaneously for just a moment, the number of spiritual stones consumed is calculated as one hundred thousand.

If it weren't for the ignition of nuclear fusion, which only takes a moment, I'm afraid these 100,000 spiritual stones would not be enough.

Although there are still so many spiritual stones stored in the base, these spiritual stones are needed to maintain the operation of the entire base.

Although everyone, including Yang Qing and Xiao Ai, had great confidence in this experimental reactor, they were not confident that they could ignite the helium-3 inside in one go.

Helium fusion is extremely difficult in itself, and it may not be possible even at high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees.

If Yang Qing hadn't been able to provide a pressure exceeding at least 10 million times atmospheric pressure in the core stack, none of them would have wanted to try it.

Even so, after discovering a huge amount of deuterium in the water molecules of the moon, Xiao Ai was ready to use deuterium and helium trifusion to replace the helium trifusion that had been prepared long ago.

But after this success, Xiao Ai will also convert the fusion reactant from helium-3 into deuterium and helium-3.

Because as an isotope of helium, it has very little content in the helium element, and helium-3 in the solar system is generally brought out from the solar wind.

The moon has been blown continuously for billions of years, and it has accumulated millions of tons of helium-3.

Helium-3 reserves are very small on planets with atmospheres. In the solar system, the second planet with huge reserves is Mercury, the closest to the sun.

It seems that controllable nuclear fusion has solved human energy problems, but instead, there has been the great development of various energy-consuming industries, including various sounding spacecrafts.

As the most important material for controllable nuclear fusion, the fusion of helium-3 and deuterium does not produce fast neutrons, which is undoubtedly the biggest benefit to the controllable nuclear fusion of the Blue Star route.

Therefore, after Yang Qing's Lunar Palace base is exposed, the major powers on Blue Star will definitely increase their investment in controllable nuclear fusion.

This definitely includes Yang Qing's home country, because things like controllable nuclear fusion must not be in the hands of private individuals. This is probably the consensus of the Chinese people.

Even if Yang Qing provides them with a controllable nuclear fusion core reactor, nothing will change.
