Beneath Deep Space

The energy brought by nuclear fusion is so exaggerated! In the Earth era, some people estimated that the fusion energy of 100 tons of helium-3 is the total energy used by the whole world for a year!

Yu Yifeng did a simple calculation and had to sigh, this is the fact.

Nuclear fusion is difficult and very powerful!

The ultra-large energy scale also brings greater industrial requirements. Therefore, the entire industrial system must use a large amount of superconducting materials or other high-tech materials, otherwise it will not be able to handle such a large power generation power.

Of course, it is this kind of energy scale that can truly support... various laser weapons or ion cannons and the like!

In comparison, nuclear fission, thermal power generation... are just scum!

If nuclear fusion energy is truly realized, some interstellar weapons removed from the Mars flying saucer can be truly used!

"But... Ordinary fission reactors and thermal power plants must be left behind in case of emergency!" In such a short time, Yu Yifeng had gradually calmed down and even had the heart to think about some safety issues.

He had actually implicitly accepted the plan.

Ding Yidong explained excitedly on the stage.

He seemed to ignore everyone's desperate looks and became more and more enthusiastic: "The four reactors work alternately. After each nuclear explosion, there will be 7 minutes of power generation time and nearly 20 minutes of cooling time..."

“In an emergency, multiple units can work at the same time to provide us with a large amount of power!”

"Of course it can also be stopped at the same time. We have also designed some smaller nuclear explosion reactors...but they need to burn precious helium-3 resources..."

"We don't have very much helium-3."

Hearing this, Yu Yifeng suddenly stood up and asked. "Professor Ding, tetrahydrogen nuclear bombs or deuterium bombs... also need ordinary helium-3 nuclear bombs to ignite, right? In the long run, where will these ignition materials come from?"

By this time, he no longer wanted to care about the size of the project and only considered its feasibility.

As long as it works, it's all worth it!

"That's a good question." Ding Yidong said with a smile: "First of all, we can go to several small satellites of Nix to collect helium-3. Although not a lot, there are still kiloton or ten thousand tons level."

"Secondly, when the fusion reactor is completed, we can go to an Earth-like planet 0.6 light-years away. That planet is relatively close to the binary star and has no atmosphere and no magnetic field."

"Based on its specific environment, we can be sure that there must be a large amount of helium-3 remaining on it! Note that it is a large amount, measured in hundreds of millions of tons or even billions of tons!"

"Calculate, everyone, how long can one billion tons of helium-3 be used by us?"

"But how are we going to get there? 0.6 light years is too far." Another senior government official couldn't help but ask.

Ding Yidong shook his head and said immediately: "Everyone has seen that while building this reactor, we are also building a large spaceship for ourselves. This spaceship can completely encapsulate our Noah!"

"And these nuclear explosion reactors are equivalent to the power rooms of the spacecraft. We only use 10% of the energy to generate electricity, and the rest... is the propulsion force of the spacecraft!"

"With the power of nuclear fusion, we can reach the Earth-like planet within ten years! According to calculations, our remaining helium-3 is completely enough as an ignition agent!"

"For us, nuclear fusion and the starry sky are actually one!"

As soon as these words came out, it caused another uproar.

Humanity has not even achieved nuclear fusion, and has begun to think about the stars again...

But if you think about it carefully, there is not much wrong. Human beings will eventually leave the planet Nix. It seems good to take advantage of this moment to directly build a large spaceship for yourself... Both can be done at the same time!

"I really want to stay in the Knicks and sleep peacefully..." Yu Yifeng shouted in his heart, and he wiped the sweat from his head with his hands.

Of course, he already knew about this plan in advance and had been studying it for a long time. But every time he faced it, he felt inexplicable madness and impulse.

"Why do their generation go through so much trouble?" This is not his only idea, many people have also come up with this idea...

But as soon as this thought appeared, I shrank back...

Why?

To cross the Great Filter, to... the stars!

"This is the big net of genetic philosophy. If you want to retreat like this... of course... it's impossible!"

Yu Yifeng laughed at himself and asked again: "Professor Ding, let me ask another question: Since we want to build a spaceship, should this large-scale project be done in space?"

"Yes! Otherwise, such a large spacecraft may not be able to overcome its own gravity and fly."

Professor Ding Yidong nodded and said: "Think about it, a fusion reactor with a diameter of 15 kilometers is already big enough, we need 4 more...and other miscellaneous things, plus Noah, the length of the spacecraft reaches 40 More than 100 kilometers, the mass of the hull reaches 50 billion tons, and it is impossible to land on the planet. "

"Unless you want the project volume and cost to become larger. If you really have the reason, we can try to design it..."

Yu Yifeng touched his head. The projects in space have added a lot of projects...

Others also let out screams like sighs.

It is really hard for them to imagine how other interstellar civilizations have overcome all kinds of difficulties... If they were not the first generation with the strongest will and had already made up their minds, they would have been frightened to tears by the massive amount of projects.

Ding Yidong finished everything in one breath, and for a while, everyone was silent.

This is not to say that I am timid or want to retreat, but I have an inexplicable feeling that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water...

"Should we first use a large airship to build a city in the sky? Use this city in the sky as a space platform?"

"Or let the Noah come down first?"

People started to think wildly... Let's make the project even bigger!

"Professor Ding, if we fully understand the engineering technology of the Nyx civilization and go further in the research of alien creations, can we reduce the amount of the project?" one of the congressmen asked.

"This is possible. Our engineering application technology is indeed poor...it needs to be improved urgently."

Ding Yidong nodded and said: "But I think that no matter what, we will need to spend tens, hundreds, or even thousands of years to build this thing. I hope that I can see its realization in my lifetime. This is the foundation of our civilization. Will, I don’t want it to change!”

Yu Yifeng looked at the crowd on one side who were a little shrinking and a little fanatical. He immediately stood up and said loudly: "Yes, this is the will of the new human civilization. We will not change or waver!"

"No matter how high the price is, we will achieve it!"

"That's it for the whole process. Do you have any comments? I'll give you ten minutes to think about it."

"agree!"

"Seconded!"

This group of people complained, but everyone raised their hands in agreement, and there were not many objections.

Even if there are a few who want to object, they will remain silent unless... they can think of a better way. So many authoritative scientists say it can be done, so just do it... although the amount of work is indeed a bit larger.

Yes, it's a bit bigger...

Being tortured like this, these high-level government officials felt an inexplicable pleasure in their hearts. They simply smashed the jar and made up their minds to fight this huge project to the end... The whole venue began to become lively.

"So..." Yu Yifeng came on stage and knocked on the table to suppress the noisy crowd: "Everyone, please give this project a name!"

"Deep Space!" A loud voice came from below: "The Deep Space is about to lead us to the stars!"
