Vol 3 Chapter 199 ignition device

However, up to now, apart from the fact that the inner wall of the core reactor is irradiated by neutrons and is quickly damaged, the input energy is far greater than the output energy, which is also the main reason why the experimental reactor cannot be put into commercial use.

The original fusion experimental reactors, whether it is the International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor ITER, which is an international cooperation, or the domestic Dongfang Chaohuan, all use laser ignition.

Multiple laser beams are focused to reach a high temperature of tens of millions of degrees in the center of the reactor, so that the fusion reaction raw materials under high pressure can produce fusion.

The key is actually on the ignition device.

As the ignition device of the reactor, of course, it must meet the requirements of high power and continuity.

With these two types, their volumes will definitely not be small, but the current experimental reactors and future commercial reactors are huge in themselves, and with the addition of ignition devices, they will not be much larger, but there will be no difference.

However, Yang Qing’s fusion reactor is not only used for power generation, it will also be the energy core of the entire base, and in the future it will be the energy source for spaceships and warships traveling in the universe, so the size must not be too large.

In other words, it should be distinguished, that is, in the base, or in other places, fixed places, places that are not sensitive to volume, high-power, large-volume fusion reactors can be built, while small-scale low-power fusion reactors need to be built on the spacecraft. reactor.

Although the reactor at a fixed location can also use the general ignition device on Blue Star, Yang Qing’s research has always been one step ahead.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has ready-made examples that can be picked up.

Isn’t the temperature required by the reactor, so in the center of the reactor, it will be soon enough to directly create a flame atmosphere with a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees?

The fusion of helium three is very demanding. After all, this is an experiment that has never been done on the blue star. Even the interior of the sun does not have such a reaction.

Once the sun develops helium fusion, then everyone should be able to see the scene of the wandering earth, which means that the sun will have a helium flash.

Therefore, the reason why Yang Qing gave up the ignition route of Blue Star is because these laser ignitions may not be able to successfully ignite nuclear materials and produce fusion.

Although there is no such fusion on the sun, it does not mean that its high temperature of 60 million degrees and huge pressure cannot make helium trifusion, it is purely because the amount of helium in the huge volume of the sun is too rare up.

Helium III has appeared, and it has been forced to react with the hydrogen atoms in it long ago, and it is impossible to collide with each other at all, just like a drop of ink falling into a sea, and soon no other ink molecules can be found .

Yang Qing and Xiao Ai designed the ignition according to the standard of 150 million degrees.

The prehistoric human beings have reached their peak in the design of rune arrays, and as monks strengthen their own protection, as the most lethal fire-type rune array, it will naturally rise. The specific performance is that the temperature is getting higher and higher up.

This 150 million degrees is actually just the beginning. If it is not enough, Yang Qing can add several times in a row, at least reaching more than 200 million degrees.

At such a temperature, even if a powerful cultivator of the transformation stage enters it, it won’t last long before it is turned into a puff of green smoke and evaporates directly.

The most important thing is that these rune arrays are small in size and easy to compress. As the supply of aura increases, the temperature of the flame will become higher and higher. The reactor formed in this way is very suitable as a power source for the spacecraft.

Although most of the functions on the current spacecraft require aura as an energy source to operate.

But in the blue star and the solar system, aura is also an extremely poor resource. Maybe there will be a rich aura environment inside the gaseous planets like the sun or Jupiter, but on several rocky planets, there is space, Definitely scarce.

Therefore, fusion reactors generate electricity, and then use electricity to produce aura, which is the best energy source for future spacecraft.

However, the fusion reactor has not yet been established. Although Yang Qing has theoretically completed the application of the fusion reactor, up to now, he has not actually built and operated a real fusion reactor, which is not available on Blue Star. , a pure fusion reactor using helium three as a raw material.

So for the first time, it still needs to be built near the base, not directly at the reactor of the main base.

Naturally, through the operation of the fusion reactor, some bugs were found, and after modification, they were put into the base.

Although the reactor cannot be put into construction until the site is cleaned up in the construction vehicle, another important task, which is the collection of helium-three raw materials, will start soon.

Although helium-3 can be separated from the lunar soil by simple heating, it is not only helium-3 that can be separated from the lunar soil?

There is a large amount of ice in the lunar soil. By heating and evaporating, the ice can be melted and a lot of water can be obtained.

Water is the source of life. On a moon that is extremely barren and worse than a desert, water is thousands of times more important than on a blue star.

On Blue Star, even if all fresh water resources are exhausted, at least there is still an endless sea.

Even if the consumption of seawater desalination has not been reduced for a long time, but at the moment of real water shortage, the development is faster than ever.

But on the moon, there is no such huge reserve of water resources that are easy to exploit.

Therefore, every water resource on the moon is crucial and worth cherishing, even more important than energy.

While Yang Qing was talking to Xiao Ai, several construction machinery that had already been assembled inside the Yuegong base were rumbling out of it.

In order to facilitate production and transportation ~www.readmtl.com~ the assembly factories are directly exposed to the vacuum, anyway, the producers are not humans, but robots, which do not need the existence of air at all.

And there is a great advantage in vacuum, that is, there is no annoying dust and oxidation, which affects the assembly accuracy.

Because construction machinery, especially forklifts and excavators, omits the hydraulic system, which saves a lot of space and production difficulty.

Although the artificial muscles are compounds, they have no effect when exposed to a vacuum. A heating device is added to them to allow them to move freely at extremely low temperatures.

And it is also low temperature, the temperature is more than minus 180 degrees and the surface is in a vacuum state. In addition to evaporation, there is also radiation, and basically there is no way to dissipate heat.

A vacuum is an insulator of heat. There is no liquid in these artificial muscles, so there is no way to talk about evaporation and heat dissipation, and the energy transmitted by radiation is far less than the heat emitted by itself when doing work.

Therefore, the heating device of the artificial muscle only plays a small role in the initial stage, and after the real work starts, it needs to dissipate heat instead.
