I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?.

Chapter 395 Metallurgy
[In the event "Space Race", the nuclear-powered aircraft manufactured by the base completed a manned exploration mission to the moon. The mission duration was: 11 days.

This is a significant progress. Humanity has achieved the first time to travel from the planet to its own satellite in a nuclear-powered space device, and it has produced a qualitative leap in speed and quality. 】

In the capital, Lin Ju, who had escaped to the toilet early, didn't wait long before the sound of the system appeared in his mind.

Looks like it's highly rated?The rewards will certainly be substantial.

【发放奖励如下：38%浓度77年式标准铀棒*1500；10MW等离子气体镜面聚焦激光束冶炼卫星；1500千伏高温超导电磁加速轨道。

Plasma gas mirror focused laser beam smelting satellite:

This is a heat source used for mining ores from extraterrestrial non-atmospheric celestial bodies. It was a concept proposed by Dutch scientist Chris Lee in 2024. The original purpose was to reflect the laser multiple times in the plasma high-frequency oscillation mirror, making the most powerful laser at the time The instantaneous power is increased from 5 petawatts (10^15 watts, or 10 billion megawatts) to 10^22 watts, providing a tool for microscopic particle (electron) research.

This project started in 2034 and officially ended in 2042. The Royal Society of Physics announced that due to the lack of effective control of the plasma gas, the mirror accuracy was far from meeting the requirements.

However, the research results were acquired by the Academy of Nuclear Science. After 15 years of hard work, they were finally transformed into the basis of a space laser smelting device. A smelting satellite with a laser source power of 10MW, when deployed at a Lagrange point, has a smelting efficiency equivalent to that of a 150MW electric furnace. .

It can continuously focus for more than 48 hours, the maximum heating temperature exceeds 12000 degrees, and is easy to deploy and transfer, with an operating mass of about 170 tons;
1500千伏高温超导电磁加速轨道：2048年投入使用的月表弹射入轨装置，超导温度不高于零下183度（90K），加速轨道5公里时，可将15吨物质抛射至月球轨道或4.5吨物质抛射进入近地轨道。】

[Note: It is recommended to reasonably adjust equipment quality and cost according to needs]

"..."

There was no nuclear fusion as imagined, but for Lin Ju, these three... two rewards were a timely help.

It's easier to understand if you think about it. The Storm has strong downward transportation capabilities, and the system provides mining equipment just to create an on-site smelting-transportation chain.

The plasma gas mirror laser smelting satellite is even more technologically advanced. 10MW laser power is nothing, but being able to heat it continuously for 24 hours is outrageous. It is even higher than the heat dissipation technology of Qianjunbang [-].

And why does the plasma gas mirror control technology sound a bit similar to the control method described in the previous "Radiation Propulsion Technology"?
Laser smelting satellites have greatly solved the problems of large material losses and limited volume in transporting materials to the lunar surface. The most troublesome energy supply and heating sources will be much easier to handle by moving them to space, and the difficulty and risk of maintenance will be much lower.

As for the electromagnetic acceleration orbit... I have smaller expectations for this. Lin Ju came into contact with many pre-research projects when he was at the Aerospace Development Commission. The establishment of an electromagnetic orbit to eject materials on the moon can actually be achieved with domestic technical efforts. It is just a supporting foundation. More difficult to get.

As for the '77 fuel uranium rods?If 1500 are sent at one time, how many nuclear engines and reactors will be built?Although it can save a lot of money, it can only be used secretly on a small scale. It is better to buy the Huanhe one, which is a bit useless.

However, the system should be deliberately guiding itself to mine, and it came at the right time.

……

"Yamamoto-kun, don't talk nonsense anymore."

On June 6, Kazuki Yamamoto was released on bail by his colleagues.The incident at the izakaya was judged to be a drunken disturbance. Yamamoto Kazuki was given a light punishment and was released after paying bail.

Of course, the bigger reason is that the Police Department did not want to expand its influence, and chose to downplay the major issue after giving a good warning. Those "backward remarks" did not even appear in the memo, and other accomplices were criticized and let go. Lost.

Yamamoto Kazuki, who had been squatting for several days, looked a little haggard, but his eyes were full of light, which made his colleagues feel relieved.

"Thank you Mizumi-kun, I will return the bail to you as soon as possible."

"Ah... ha, money is a trivial matter, but you are no longer young and should have a family. This kind of thing should not have anything to do with us... I have to pick up Yuzi from get off work, so let's get together when we have time."

The colleague gave some kind advice to Yamamoto, who was still acting like a young boy. The latter just didn't speak and listened blankly, not knowing what to think.

Kazuki Yamamoto walked alone along the street to his home. When passing by a convenience store, he bought a pack of cigarettes and the latest newspaper.

The content of "Storm" has been compressed into the entertainment section. You can't find it if you don't search carefully. Look at the front page again... Is Edo Electric Power Company going to discharge nuclear wastewater? !

The 2011 earthquake caused serious damage to the nuclear power plant. In addition to closing the nuclear power plant, how to deal with the nuclear wastewater generated has also become a serious problem.

The initial plan of Edo Electric Power Company was to build storage tanks to store the sewage. After treatment, the pollution residues would be below the hazard standard before being discharged into the sea. In the past few years, more than 1000 water tanks have been built, and about 123 sewage has been stored. Thousands of tons of sewage.

The construction of water tanks is relatively simple, but sewage treatment has encountered big troubles. It is not that it is impossible, but the cost is too high if the promised degree of purification is to be achieved.

Another issue is processing efficiency. The Fushishima Nuclear Power Plant is built close to the ocean and is still producing about 100 tons every day. The processing speed cannot keep up at all.

Now, these crazy guys actually want to treat the unprocessed... No, according to the content of the newspaper, there are still one or two simple processes, but what is the difference between this and no treatment?How harmful is this sewage discharged into the sea?

Although Tomishima is quite far away from Edo, as an island country with a small area and many ocean currents, nuclear wastewater may drift to the sea here in a few days.

Can I still eat tuna sashimi?

At first, Yamamoto Kazuki was just angry about his own safety, but suddenly he thought of something. He read the newspaper again, and then his eyes stopped at the sentence in the article that "neighboring countries strongly protested and opposed".

If the sewage is discharged into the sea, I am afraid that the relationship between the two parties will be over. Then manned space cooperation, which has extremely high requirements for friendly relations, will naturally be impossible to discuss.

Did Kishimoto Tsu, a villain, go so far as to combat dissent?
The more Yamamoto Kazuki thought about it, the more reasonable it became. Why at this point in time?This is intentional!

For a moment, he was extremely angry. He stood outside the convenience store and stared at the air fiercely for a long time. It was not until the sky darkened that he clenched his fists and a firm light flashed in his eyes.
