The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World

The energy produced by a continuously operating fusion reactor is extremely astonishing. Even if at least 40% of this energy is used to maintain its own operation, only 60% of the energy output is already Efficiency beyond that of thermal power plants.

Moreover, the core stack is extremely small, only five cubic meters in size. Even with the outer shell, it will not exceed ten cubic meters.

For such a small volume, the actual reaction range is less than one cubic meter. The amount of helium-3 consumed per hour is about one hundred grams, but the power generation capacity is close to five million kilowatts per hour.

The installed capacity of a thermal power unit is about 300mw, which is one hundred thousand kilowatts, which is only one-fiftieth of the reactor above.

The installed capacity of the huge Three Gorges Power Station is only 22.5 million kilowatts. That's a little more than four times that number.

Therefore, as long as the entire core reactor is expanded a little and the helium-3 consumption per hour is increased by five times, it can replace the Three Gorges Power Station.

But after all, this is not a blue star, but a wild moon. The base has just gained a foothold and cannot consume so much electricity, nor can it consume the spiritual energy converted by electricity.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are not so many blank spiritual stones that can be used to store spiritual energy.

Although spiritual energy is not as difficult to store as electricity, if you put it outside, it will disappear within a few breaths.

But it was equally difficult to activate the fusion reaction. It almost exhausted the spiritual energy transmitted from the nearby solar panels, and also used up the spiritual energy in the 200,000 spiritual stones.

So until now, the energy invested in the reactor has not been fully recovered.

Therefore, Yang Qing has no intention of stopping this experimental pile unless it is absolutely necessary. So, building a spiritual stone production workshop here, and before consuming the spiritual energy, he must find a way out for the spiritual energy.

At this time, Yang Qing remembered the plan that he had planned but had to postpone when he got to the moon.

That is to establish an activity area on the moon similar to that of Blue Star.

It is similar to a blue star, so naturally the gravity is about the same. More importantly, it requires air around standard atmospheric pressure.

Of course, to achieve this, a lot of effort is needed, such as how to prevent the air from escaping from the control range of the base.

If you use the power of runes, it will obviously be very difficult. Using Blue Star's technology, it will be simpler. Isn't it just building a greenhouse? Although this greenhouse is a little bigger and the requirements are a little higher, it is not a greenhouse!

Naturally, this greenhouse will not be as large as 10,000 square kilometers, but several thousand square meters is also an appropriate number.

The construction of the greenhouse is not difficult. The pure steel structure uses titanium alloy as the skeleton, is covered with highly weather-resistant glass, and is edged with soft metal. It can withstand the unbridled erosion of the sun and the temperature changes in the morning and evening.

However, this is obviously still early, and further construction can only be done after the base starts its own metal smelting path.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of metal minerals on the moon. In just such a short period of time, the base has discovered common mineral deposits on the Blue Star, including elemental iron, bauxite, iron-titanium alloys, copper, gold and silver, etc.

In addition, there are rare earths, lithium and other minerals, the content of which is much higher than similar products on Blue Star. valley

The most important thing is to find the presence of rhenium metal.

The reserves of this magical metal, which is widely used in fighter jets, on Blue Star are only one billionth, and the annual output is only forty or fifty tons.

Seventy percent of them have been taken away by aerospace engine manufacturers. It is precisely because of this that American engines firmly occupy the top position in the world's engine thrust and lifespan, and also give the American Air Force unrivaled domineering power. .

This time the base discovered a wide range of rhenium, which basically exists as a metal element. The particles are small, but the scope is very large. The reserves are at least 1,000 tons. It does not even need to use the purification method commonly used on Blue Star. method, because most of them are elemental rhenium.

Although these, if exposed to the lunar surface for a long time, there will inevitably be a large amount of radioactive rhenium 186, but the remaining part is enough to satisfy the Blue Star people.

Yang Qing estimated that if this news leaked out, people all over the world, especially the United States, would jump to their feet.

Because the hegemony of the United States is based on its own military power.

His military power is represented by more than a dozen aircraft carrier formations headed by the Kitty Hawk, as well as military bases all over the world.

In the era where the sun never sets, the only country that can deploy globally and strike globally within twelve hours is represented by the 22 using the 119 engine and the 35 equipped with the 135, these two stealth fifth-generation fighters.

The J-20 in China is stuck with engines, has been unable to achieve supersonic cruise, and is in insufficient numbers. The Xiongguo Su-57 is still lying on the experimental bench and cannot be equipped, so it is the overlord of the sky.

Rhenium has a melting point of 3180 degrees, which is one of the metals with the highest melting point on the planet.

The power of the 135 engine lies in its turbine blades doped with three to five percent rhenium. The use of rhenium was later reduced, but its performance may not be better. It is just that compared to the scarce rhenium, other metals, Some are easier to get.

Although these rheniums are of greater significance to the great powers' struggle for hegemony on Blue Star, it does not mean that Yang Qing and the base have no idea about it.

In the eyes of Xiao Ai, who advocates human sea tactics, puppet robots using cheap materials are the first choice for base development. With the help of the talisman array, there is almost no Blue Star firepower to destroy them before the spiritual energy is exhausted.

But this kind of scarce metal is also needed by the base, especially in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment like the core of Jupiter, which has extremely high requirements for detectors.

Even if there is a talisman array that can withstand a lot of pressure, the material of the detector itself is also crucial.

Because of the better shell, more talisman arrays can be carved, allowing things like detectors to truly penetrate into originally unknowable places.

Listening to Xiao Ai's voice coming from the headphones, Yang Qing gave up the idea of ​​announcing the news during the press conference.

Now that the fusion reactor has been completed, a similar reactor can be officially replicated inside the base. After a series of verifications, the efficiency of the improved reactor has exceeded 75%.

In the future, even if it is separated from the solar power station and completely shrouded in darkness, the base will be completely self-sufficient.

Of course, what is most needed is the spaceship parked on top of the base. Although the spacecraft does not seem to be big, after the space expansion, it has become very easy to accommodate a fusion engine that has been reduced several times.
