cosmic hegemony

Chapter 362, super power

Time has passed slowly like running water without a sound, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to 2150, and it has reached the middle of the 22nd century.

In the void somewhere in the Kuiper Belt of the Imperial Centaurus Galaxy, the originally dark and silent void is now brightly lit. Huge spaceships illuminate everything around them brightly. Countless small spaceships are constantly flying in these Huge spaceships are flying around, and all spaceships are marked with the logo of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

Inside a large spaceship, Li Wanzhou's face was full of excitement at this time, and he was very excited. After decades of research, the cold nuclear fusion he proposed at the beginning has now been successfully realized. Immediately It's time for the final test.

Cold nuclear fusion technology uses a high-density, high-intensity magnetic field to control neutrons, thereby realizing nuclear fusion technology. The scientists of the Empire have already thoroughly studied this technology in theory, but it is still difficult to implement it in practice. Heavy.

Although the use of powerful magnetic energy technology successfully controlled neutrons to achieve nuclear fusion, the huge energy generated during nuclear fusion still failed the experiment time and time again.

Cold nuclear fusion is to achieve nuclear fusion at room temperature or at a relatively high temperature, but the powerful energy generated during nuclear fusion will also produce terrifyingly high temperatures. This problem has always troubled the scientists of the empire.

Li Wanzhou and others were even prepared to give up research on cold nuclear fusion and return to research on thermonuclear fusion technology until some scientists proposed the concept of a tokamak device. Vacuum heat insulation is used to realize the controlled nuclear fusion annular container, which makes the continuous steady-state operation of the magnetic confinement configuration a reality.

In fact, this Tokmak device is an illusion proposed by a great physicist Tokmak in the 20th century to control nuclear fusion. The principle is to use strong magnetic confinement and vacuum insulation to control nuclear fusion. terrible temperature.

It’s just that human scientists have never been able to really realize it. It is also reasonable for the scientists of the empire to put forward this concept again, because the magnetic energy technology and other technologies of the empire are already quite advanced, and it is completely possible to use the tokmak. The device was developed and the controllable nuclear fusion technology was successfully realized.

After decades of struggle and research, using cold nuclear fusion technology and the Tokmak device, the scientists of the Empire finally succeeded in researching the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

The experiment this time has also attracted much attention. Imperial Emperor Li Fu, President of the Imperial Academy of Sciences Chen Bin, and many veterans of the Imperial Academy of Sciences Yu Liang, Cao Haitao, Yang Yiping, Yao Tianyi, Li Qianyu, Bai Cai, Gu Feng, Liu Jun, Dong Zhifei , Tang Boyuan and so on are all here.

In the void at this time, in the huge spaceships, the elite scientists of the empire are looking forward to the direction of the experiment, and they all look into the void in the middle from time to time.

In the void in the middle, there is a huge spaceship. This universe is different from other spaceships around. Nowadays, the general spaceships of the Empire use the anti-gravity power system, so they are all spaceships in the shape of oval flying saucers. This spaceship is big or small, and all spaceships are like this, unless they use a non-antigravity power system.

The shape of this spacecraft is a cuboid, more than ten kilometers long, 5 kilometers wide, and 3 kilometers high. The most peculiar thing is that there is a huge pipe-like thing at its tail. There are 1 km, which is a bit similar to the tail of a space fighter powered by a plasma engine.

Obviously, this spacecraft is definitely not a spacecraft with an anti-gravity system. Otherwise, with such a shape, the anti-gravity system cannot operate well and stably. The engines installed on it are warp speed engines and nuclear fusion power engines.

"start up!"

Following Li Wanzhou's order, everyone focused their attention on the spaceship in the distance, and at the same time, various monitoring instruments began to record everything.

There is no one on the spaceship in the middle, and everything is controlled by the computer, but there are many kinds of animals, plants, etc. on the spaceship as experimental objects.

Under the order of Li Wanzhou, the supercomputer started to operate, and the nuclear fusion power system on the spacecraft started to operate. The powerful magnetic energy beam instantly ignited the He3 in the nuclear fusion reactor, because there is no neutral in the nuclear fusion reaction using helium-3. (the thermonuclear reaction between helium-3 and deuterium will only produce non-radioactive protons), so when helium-3 is used as an energy source, it will not produce radiation and will not bring harm to the environment. It is the most ideal nuclear fusion fuel.

In the nuclear fusion reactor, the nuclear fusion fuel instantly began to generate terrifying energy, and the temperature also began to rise rapidly, reaching a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees almost instantly. Such a high temperature was enough to melt everything.

But at this time, the powerful magnetic field began to play a role, coupled with the design of vacuum heat insulation, powerful energy and high temperature were ejected from the tail of the spaceship instantly according to the set direction.

An incomparably dazzling white light beam shot out from the tail of the spaceship, with a length of more than a hundred kilometers, releasing incomparably powerful energy. Fluctuations of energy can be seen with the naked eye.

At the same time, with the jet of powerful white tail flames, the spaceship with a mass of 100 billion tons also began to fly forward rapidly in the void. The speed of the spaceship, which was originally stationary, began to soar rapidly. The soaring speed far exceeds that of a spacecraft using an anti-gravity power system.

You must know that the mass of this spacecraft has reached 100 billion tons. According to the mass, it is definitely the standard of a large spacecraft. However, driven by the powerful nuclear fusion power system, its speed soars very easily. It is estimated that In less than an hour, its speed reached 1 kilometers per second.

"What a terrible power, this acceleration is too powerful!"

Chen Bin looked at the rapidly accelerating spaceship in the void, and then looked at the acceleration calculated by the computer next to him, with a smile on his face.

"The nuclear fusion power system directly uses powerful energy as power to propel the spacecraft forward, and there is no energy wasted in the process. of."

Yu Liang's eyes were also shining brightly, as if seeing a peerless treasure, carefully appreciating the spaceship that was constantly going away in the void.

"Increase momentum!"

On the other hand, Li Wanzhou looked at the various data with satisfaction. It was similar to the data simulated by the supercomputer, and there was not much difference. However, the nuclear fusion power system has just started to operate, and it is only one-tenth of the power. .

As Li Wanzhou's order was conveyed, the tail flame at the tail of the spacecraft began to elongate rapidly. It was only a tail flame of hundreds of kilometers, and gradually the white and dazzling tail flame began to grow into 200 kilometers, 300 kilometers... The speed of the spaceship also began to soar, and soon everyone's field of vision gradually became smaller, until there was only a bright spot of light left, and there seemed to be a blazing tail flame left in the surrounding void. Dry heat left when sprayed.

Although the spaceship slowly disappeared from everyone's field of vision, everyone could continue to track the traces of the spaceship with the monitor. Everyone looked at the monitor, which was showing the operation of the spaceship.

"Originally, I just wanted to use nuclear fusion power to provide enough powerful energy for the warp drive, but I didn't expect that it would be so powerful if used alone as power, and it was even better than the anti-gravity power system."

Li Wanzhou is always paying attention to each item of data, but he is constantly thinking about the performance of the spacecraft, in fact, to a large extent depends on the power system of the spacecraft.

The anti-gravity power system is very powerful. There is no doubt about it. The anti-gravity power system currently mastered by the empire can only be regarded as an entry-level power system. Once the anti-gravity power system is fully understood, it will be very powerful.

The nuclear fusion power system belongs to the kind of unintentional insertion. Originally, controllable nuclear fusion was only used to provide energy for the warp drive on the spacecraft. Scientists thought that they could also try to use it as conventional power to propel the universe. The spaceship moves forward.

In this way, the spacecraft can fly quickly in the normal void without installing an anti-gravity power system, and the design of the spacecraft does not need to be limited to the shape of an elliptical flying saucer.

Sure enough, the powerful nuclear fusion power did not disappoint. It is very powerful. The powerful energy generated during nuclear fusion is used as power, and even a large spaceship can be easily pushed. The powertrain is even more powerful.

The spaceship is constantly accelerating in the void, the speed is getting faster and faster, and soon broke through the speed of 1000 kilometers per second, and it is still accelerating, 1500 kilometers per second, 2000 kilometers per second, the speed is getting faster and faster , the tail flame at the tail of the spacecraft also becomes longer.

"It's very perfect. In the future, our empire will have two powerful technologies in terms of conventional power, anti-gravity tools and nuclear fusion power systems."

Li Wanzhou nodded in satisfaction, all the data are perfect.

"The next step is to start the power of the warp speed engine. It's really exciting!"
