Beneath Deep Space

There are still a lot of details to discuss about the laser ignition system, and the two are studying it with interest.

"We plan to shoot a super powerful laser pulse into a tetrahydrogen nuclear bomb. Then, this laser pulse will pass through a prism built into the nuclear bomb and be broken down into more than a hundred weaker laser beams."

Each of these more than a hundred lasers still has huge energy. They will hit hydrogen balls one millimeter in diameter at the same time. These hydrogen balls will be heated to more than 100 million degrees in an instant, explode instantly, and then ignite simultaneously. All ordinary hydrogen bombs.

Then the explosion in the outer ring detonates the innermost hydrogen layer!

"Just like that, the tetrahydrogen nuclear bomb exploded with a bang!" Ding Yidong said, and he began to excitedly imagine the explosion scene. This idea was so wonderful and exquisite. The most important thing is that in theory it is achievable by humans!

The propagation speed of light is very fast, close to 300 million meters per second. According to this laser ignition plan, the time difference between the explosion of each nuclear bomb is only a few nanoseconds at most, and they are really detonated almost at the same time.

"Such a super powerful laser pulse needs to be more than ten times more powerful than the Americans! But we should be able to do it..." Ding Yidong looked at Yu Yifeng expectantly.

Yu Yifeng frowned tightly... Well, he was calculating the specific cost issues.

There is no problem in building a laser system that is stronger than that of the Americans. He is completely confident. Now that the industrial capabilities on board Noah are so strong and there are so many scientists, building a super powerful laser system is basically a no-brainer.

But... combined with nuclear bombs, the cost would be too high, right? With current technology, there is no way to miniaturize it. The entire laser system must be huge, as big as several houses.

Does a tetrahydrogen nuclear bomb need to be equipped with an ignition system as big as a house? After all, after the nuclear bomb exploded, the laser system must have been blown to ashes.

The National Ignition Facility of the United States, which cost $3.5 billion, has become a disposable consumable?

This kind of consumption is too much... Yu Yifeng thought in his mind, and he felt a little painful. A nuclear bomb is equipped with a laser system. Even if the new human civilization is rich and resourceful, it is a bit unbearable!

He sighed. This was really a big problem. Although Noah's industry was now strong and there was no shortage of resources, it was impossible for a nuclear bomb to be equipped with a laser system of several hundred tons.

Ding Yidong also thought about this problem and added: "If it's in space, we can launch the nuclear bomb first and then ignite it from a long distance through laser pulses."

For such a nuclear bomb explosion, a safe distance of at least hundreds or even thousands of kilometers must be left. However, Yu Yifeng understood in his heart that Ding Yidong was just saying that even if it was lit from a long distance, extremely high shooting accuracy was required.

It is still very difficult to hit the small laser receiver outside the nuclear bomb from a distance of thousands of kilometers. Whether humans can do it is still a question.

"It won't work on a planet with an atmosphere. The laser will weaken rapidly in the air, and will also be refracted and deflected... A nuclear bomb really needs to be equipped with a laser device." Ding Yidong said a little frustrated, and he also I was intimidated by the cost.

"Unless there is a qualitative change in our laser technology that can make it smaller..."

Hearing this, Yu Yifeng shook his head and said: "Forget it, you guys build the laser system first... Please talk about other things later." No matter what, this kind of laser must be built.

…

The next thing is simple. Another small thing has been added to the Noah, which is the research and manufacture of super-powerful laser devices.

For the people on the Noah, this kind of thing is really just a trivial matter. It is just one sentence of news in the newspaper, and people are already used to it. People have no interest at all in building something that already exists on Earth... It's just that a large number of free researchers have been assigned to relevant positions.

In the days that followed, with the rapid development of intelligent industrialization, the entire Noah felt like it was changing with each passing day.

Manual labor was almost eliminated, and most people were engaged only in mental work.

Mining, smelting, and industrial production are basically fully automated. Even daily life such as sweeping the floor, cleaning, cooking, and cooking, special robots have been developed to provide jobs for humans.

Some people can't help but lament that the changes on the Noah are really getting bigger day by day.

As a result, a large number of jobs are in research, design, and machine maintenance, and the knowledge requirements for people are even higher. Fortunately, the people here are elites, and everyone has strong self-learning ability and ambition.

Many people like to go to the library to recharge their batteries and increase their knowledge level in their spare time...

In a restaurant somewhere on the Noah, super engineer Li Wu was devouring chicken drumstick rice. Among the side dishes on the side, there are braised prawns, scrambled eggs, and a few cabbage, and finally a bowl of clear soup.

This meal looks great, but it only costs SGD5. These dishes are made by robots according to automatic programs, and are cheap and high-quality.

Living supplies on the entire Noah ship tend to become cheaper and cheaper. In other words, the purchasing power of new coins has begun to increase slightly, and everyone can live a better life.

While Li Wu was eating, he was thinking about his laser system. There were several key issues that had not yet been resolved. Because of his special ability, he has always been responsible for building such ultra-high-precision things.

"With great power comes great responsibility." After the Mars virus incident occurred and many great scientists came forward, this sentence has become a new trend on Noah.

If you have the ability but are unwilling to pay, the new human civilization will inevitably be lost in the dark universe... Therefore, more and more people are willing to show their talents and contribute to the progress of civilization.

Sitting opposite Li Wu was his girlfriend Wen Xiaofeng. Oh, no, it should be his wife. They got married five months ago.

Wen Xiaofeng's belly was slightly swollen, as if she was about four or five months pregnant. She smiled as she watched Li Wu gobble it up. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

It wasn't until a long time later that Li Wu raised his head and burped with satisfaction. At the same time, he thought about some key issues clearly, and he felt very comfortable.

"Li Wu, I'm five months pregnant. According to the government's regulations, I have been transferred from my job. I will have to rely on you to support me from now on..." Wen Xiaofeng looked at Li Wu and suddenly wanted to act coquettishly. one time.

But Li Wu was distracted, obviously not thinking, and suddenly said: "Didn't the new government have special regulations? Daily necessities for pregnant women are basically free? Why do we still need to support them?"

Wen Xiaofeng was almost angry to death. She didn't mean it that way, she was just being coquettish... This man's brain circuit was indeed different, and his emotional intelligence was almost zero.

She really didn't know how she fell in love with him, so she could only say angrily: "Hey, I want to eat strawberries. Those are not free. They are expensive now!"

"Okay, I'll buy it!" As soon as Li Wu heard that his wife wanted to eat, he immediately got up and ran out, taking his unique pace with him.

Wen Xiaofeng was amused by his actions, and the depression in her heart dissipated. Although this man had low emotional intelligence, he was still very good to herself.

"Oh, you can't be like your father, you're too stupid..." She said half-jokingly to the child in her belly.

"You can't find a girl like this..." Although she didn't know whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl, the five-month-old child seemed to understand a little bit and suddenly moved a few times in her belly.

She suddenly stopped. She felt her statement was a bit wrong. Even if he doesn't marry Li Wu, there must be a girl willing to marry him. After all, he is a super engineer! Her heart was pounding, and an indescribable smell surrounded her.

Although Li Wu has a low emotional intelligence, he is indeed a good man, both in terms of career and family... Ever since she became pregnant, no matter how busy he is, he will take time to accompany her every day to balance family and career. error.

He is responsible for the manufacturing of the laser ignition system. Wen Xiaofeng knows that this is a very important project, and it is good to be able to spend time with herself...

This is the difference between a woman and a girl. She already knows how to think about her husband. The most attractive thing about Li Wu is his temperament, a mature temperament with a sense of responsibility and responsibility.

"It's not like before. It's an era where knowledge and wisdom coexist." Wen Xiaofeng shook her head and touched her belly: "Others are not important, only knowledge and wisdom are the most important."

"You must be as wise as your father..."
