Beneath Deep Space

Hearing this, Yu Yifeng said with some surprise: "Then why don't we use this kind of high-efficiency battery to make high-energy weapons?"

What he means is whether it is possible to use decay batteries to imitate weapons such as Gauss rifles. He was very fond of this weapon that saved his life. Ever since he used it, he felt that it tasted delicious. Compared with it, human firearms were inferior to scum...

Yu Yifeng deeply understands that for some time in the future, it will still be the era of electricity and magnetism. Whether it is weapons or other aspects, it will be inseparable from electricity and magnetism technology.

Therefore, he is also very concerned about high-energy battery issues. From daily life and household to as large as the safety of the entire Noah, they are all inseparable from batteries with higher performance.

Electricity is very difficult to store on a large scale. So far, the excess electricity from power stations cannot be stored well and must be used as needed. Although Noah has many backup power stations, the power grid distribution is not as intricate as on Earth, and it is still not enough from a safety perspective.

If high-energy batteries with large reserves are produced, power security will undoubtedly be improved to a higher level.

Noah is home to an entire new human civilization. From a safety perspective, it is not as good as the earth, because any ecosystem requires humans to balance it. The process is like walking on a single-plank bridge, and humans cannot be careless. If there is a sudden large-scale power outage, the danger is self-evident.

And on the other hand, real space weapons must be supported by these super batteries...

Yuriko listened and shook her head quickly: "There are two problems. First, this isotope decay battery is very large and cannot be miniaturized for the time being. It is generally only suitable for larger devices such as satellites. Second, it relies on the decay of elements. In power generation, the output power is constant and it is difficult to increase rapidly. For example, laser weapons and particle beam weapons have great requirements on the instantaneous output power of the battery, but it is very easy to cause safety accidents by accelerating nuclear fission in an instant. "

"If the technology is not up to standard, the battery is likely to explode... We cannot yet control this problem."

Yu Yifeng frowned and thought for a while. This type of isotope decay battery has been around for decades. If it could really be improved, it would have been improved long ago. It was also him who thought of the problem too simply.

Yuriko continued: "Alien technology does have related creations, but we haven't figured out the principles yet..."

As the two of them talked, Yu Yifeng felt more and more that the technological tree ahead seemed endless...as vast as the sea of ​​stars, and humans had only touched some of the bottom layers.

It stands to reason that humans will have to develop for at least hundreds or thousands of years before they can step into the starry sky, but now they have been kicked out of their home planet alive...

But now, with the inspiration of these alien creations, one year can catch up with the normal development speed of several decades, and Yu Yifeng is quite satisfied. People can at least see where the tech tree is going.

He burped and felt a little full, but he was still full and gnawing on crayfish on the bottom of the sea.

This kind of lobster is a fresh product launched in the past six months. The groundwater extracted from Mount Sharp contains high salt content, which can be used to prepare seawater and cultivate some seafood. Thanks to this, the diet on the Noah began to become diversified, and people's living conditions became better.

He looked at it, then suddenly reached out and handed a crayfish to Yuriko, "I'll give you the last one!"

In fact, I didn’t think much about it, almost subconsciously. The two of them have been together for more than two years, and it can be said that they are so familiar that this kind of behavior is nothing.

"Speaking of which, how was the test of the laser ignition system?" Yu Yifeng sat in his seat, wiped his mouth and asked casually.

That was the basic introduction to the four-hydrogen nuclear bomb, and he still cared about it very much. No matter how nuclear bombs have shortcomings, they are still mankind's trump card. This somewhat primitive weapon is so powerful that even lasers and ion cannons cannot match it.

Yuriko thought for a while, and when it came to scientific issues, she became extremely serious, "Now our laser system can instantly ignite 49 hydrogen balls with a diameter of one millimeter at the same time. The current situation can only reach this level. Want to go further If we can hit more than a hundred targets, it may take several months of improvement..."

Yu Yifeng said directly: "Time is not a problem. And we now have enough materials and energy, and we will further strengthen support for major laboratories. Speaking of which, our military strength is really too bad, if not There are a few nice weapons removed from the flying saucer, and they are really no different from zero.”

Yuriko also agreed: "Actually... it's just a decoration. Our electrical energy output is not enough, and the power of the shells produced is estimated to be less than one-tenth of the original version."

"If we really want to use them, first, we need super batteries, and second, we need more powerful energy, and that is - controllable nuclear fusion technology!"

When it came to controllable nuclear fusion technology, the two people suddenly fell silent.

The engine room and power room of the alien flying saucer were completely destroyed, and humans did not get any information about "controllable nuclear fusion". In other words, this aspect is likely to be explored by humans on their own, which is also the most sad thing for energy scientists.

It is foreseeable that in the next few years, almost all technologies will make great progress, except...nuclear fusion!

Controllable nuclear fusion is known as the "ultimate form" of human energy. Once nuclear fusion achieves power generation like nuclear fission, it will be a revolutionary success that subverts the world. Human beings no longer need to be careful when it comes to energy. Because the materials for nuclear fusion can be said to be inexhaustible... but with the current progress of technological development, this energy technology is still far away.

"There is no hope for this technology for at least a few decades." Yu Yifeng said in a low tone. He had discussed this issue with Ding Yidong, Felix and other great scientists, and they all agreed that there was no way to achieve controllable nuclear fusion technology in the short term.

The best result on earth at present is China's national scientific facility, the world's first fully superconducting tokamak, which has achieved a stable 101.2-second long-pulse high-confinement plasma operation.

This kind of achievement only confines the plasma within a certain range, which is only the most preliminary step. There is still a long way to go before formal power generation...

Yu Yifeng felt a little regretful. It would be great if there was controllable nuclear fusion technology. Many alien weapons are based on the extremely large energy consumption of nuclear fusion to function properly.

"We believe that controllable nuclear fusion technology is currently not feasible in engineering. Perhaps it will be possible after our superconducting technology, cooling technology, and magnetic confinement technology are developed..."

Yuriko said calmly: "Of course, the little ball you brought back may be a database and may have relevant information, but the success of decryption is also far away..."

Yu Yifeng frowned and remained silent.
