Are you crazy? This guy even dares to make money from the country.

And it’s not just Neptune.

Now in any corner of the solar system, Shen Fei can see the real-time dynamic picture of Houyi Tianshu Center Base.

Houyi Tianshu Center Base will also continue to conduct data analysis and monitoring of the entire solar system and provide automatic early warning.

However, such a perverted function will also bring great disadvantages.

Horrible energy consumption.

Those 108 monitoring satellites had to consume energy equivalent to nearly 30,000 kilowatt hours just to transmit real-time images of Neptune.

Thirty thousand kilowatt hours of electricity is equivalent to the total electricity consumption of the entire population of a small town in one day.

And the energy consumption of Houyi Tianshu Center is still on top of the 1,000 monitoring satellites.

Even if there is a thorium nuclear reactor built by Shen Fei in Houyi Tianshu Center, it will not last for a few days because the nuclear material in it will be exhausted soon.

Shen Fei completed the Hou Yi plan order.

But to be honest, if Shen Fei were to raise such a money-burning thing, he couldn’t even afford it.

Only the state apparatus can support it.

Shen Fei made a rough estimate.

If the 108 monitoring satellites and Houyi Tianshu central base are kept in operation.

In that month, at least 5 billion energy materials will be burned.

That’s 60 billion a year.

And this is only within the solar system.

If you want to expand the monitoring range, the energy consumption will increase exponentially.

And this is only the energy and material value consumed by a concept-level military product.

The energy consumed by interstellar battleships in battle is not much lower than that of monitoring satellites and Houyi Tianshu Center.

Until one day, the energy on Blue Star will be completely unable to supply these big guys.

By then, humans will need to get out of Blue Star.

Like other civilizations, find and occupy other energy stars.

This is a step that all civilizations must take if they want to peek into the vast universe.

………….

“[Qinling], interrupt the data connection and let Houyi Tianshu Central Base stop working temporarily.”

After retracting his thoughts, Shen Fei slowly spoke.

The initial energy materials he equipped for Houyi Tianshu’s central base were enough to last for a day or two at most.

The energy on the one hundred and eight monitoring satellites would be exhausted before they could last even half a day.

I want to recharge those monitoring satellites.

Shen Fei also needs to build his own rechargeable aircraft to fly into space and conduct linear connection charging.

The cost suddenly increased a lot.

“It seems that the energy base station needs to be built quickly…”

“It would be best to develop a remote wireless power supply method.”

“This will save you a lot of trouble.”

“As for using controllable nuclear fusion to provide energy…sigh.”

At the end, Shen Fei couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

Then he didn’t bother to rest and entered the super laboratory again.

This time, Shen Fei did not choose to directly open the material library to select materials.

But with a thought, the surrounding scene began to change rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Fei was filled with a fiery red liquid metal storm.

Each column of liquid metal is thousands of kilometers high.

Here is the core center of Blue Star simulated by the super laboratory.

All matter on the blue star exists because of the earth’s core.

Then Shen Fei stretched out his palm, and a ball of purple-blue plasma floated in his palm.

This is a kind of plasma, the fourth form of existence of matter besides liquid, solid and gaseous states.

The plasma in Shen Fei’s palm is also called – xin.

……..

Nowadays, countless scientific researchers in several powerful countries around the world are studying controllable nuclear fusion.

Because the energy released by nuclear fusion is much greater than that of nuclear fission.

But Shen Fei knows very well that currently no country on Blue Star can master controllable nuclear fusion.

The fundamental reason lies in the ball of plasma in Shen Fei’s hands.

Nuclear fusion is very simple. The hydrogen bomb is a nuclear fusion bomb.

The super nuclear bomb that Shen Fei loaded on Qinglong was also a nuclear fusion nuclear bomb.

The difference between nuclear fusion and controllable nuclear fusion is only two words.

But achieving controllable nuclear fusion is more than a thousand times more difficult.

Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures and pressures to free electrons outside the nucleus from the constraints of the nucleus.

Then let two

The nuclei attract and collide with each other, and the nuclei aggregate with each other to generate new nuclei with heavier mass, such as helium.

In this process.

The huge energy generated by the release of a large number of electrons and neutrons is nuclear fusion energy.

It sounds simple, but it is very difficult to make this process last for a long time and controllable.

Now some countries have made this nuclear fusion process last for 20 seconds, and they have to come out to publicize it, claiming that they have made a huge breakthrough.

But the real controlled nuclear fusion must continue.

The problem now is.

Humans can create a high temperature and high pressure environment of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius.

But materials that can withstand such high temperatures cannot be developed at all.

Therefore, it is necessary to confine the plasma involved in the reaction by magnetic field or inertial confinement.

The reactants cannot have substantial contact with any substance.

Although the deuterium (dao) and tritium (chuan) involved in the reaction can be confined by plasma gas.

But they are extremely unstable.

As the temperature rises, their properties become uncontrollable and interact with the magnetic field that constrains them.

Therefore, how to stably constrain deuterium and tritium is also a big problem.

It is something that human technology cannot overcome at all.

It can be said that there are paradoxes everywhere in controlled nuclear fusion.

It makes it impossible to achieve continuous controlled nuclear fusion.

“Some things can be achieved with technology, but some things cannot be compensated by technology at all…”

And at this moment.

Shen Fei suddenly looked at the purple-blue plasma in his hand and murmured to himself.
