Galaxy Technology Empire

In the entire universe, hydrogen is the most abundant element in terms of atomic percentage.

According to research, in the sun's atmosphere, hydrogen accounts for 81.75% in terms of atomic percentage. In the universe, the number of hydrogen atoms is about 100 times greater than the total number of atoms of all other elements.

Therefore, with this hydrogen adsorption material, the spacecraft can use magnetic field condensation to adsorb hydrogen elements free in interstellar space.

According to the abundance of hydrogen in interstellar space, about 0.02 to 6 grams of hydrogen can be adsorbed per second. If it is in an asteroid belt with relatively large element abundance (such as the Fire-Wood Asteroid Belt, Kuiper Belt), interstellar dust belt (such as the Oort cloud), planetary systems, and star core areas (such as the area between the sun and Mercury), the hydrogen adsorption rate can even reach about 13 to 237 grams per second.

In this case, the spacecraft's fuel can even be self-sufficient. Especially in the inner regions of star systems, the spacecraft's fuel is almost inexhaustible. Even if it is flying between star systems, it will have to stop and replenish fuel for a period of time. .

As for why the Anluo star's Silver Light 1429 spacecraft ran out of energy after flying to the solar system, it was because after hundreds of years of flight, the hydrogen adsorption device on the spacecraft had aged, and it had not received supplies for a long time to repair it. Finally, The hydrogen adsorption device was damaged after impacting the south pole of the moon.

It can be seen that space voyages that can last hundreds or thousands of years are very risky, especially when traveling in areas without star systems. The problem of difficulty in replenishment has always plagued all first- and second-level civilizations.

…

the other side.

Qinling Research Base is a subsidiary of the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute (combined from the Galactic Federation Plasma Research Institute, Dongtang Plasma Research Institute, Lucia Federation Tokamak Research Institute and other research institutions).

Liu Jingguan and Fei Anming were having a meeting.

"Fei Suo, have you gained anything from studying the Anluo planet's nuclear fusion reactor?" Liu Jingguan asked.

Fei Anming said excitedly: "We have gained a lot. They are very useful in terms of energy conversion in nuclear fusion reactions. The maximum conversion efficiency we can achieve in nuclear fusion is about 74%, and the Anluo people are About 97%, they can literally squeeze out the nuclear fusion energy. Their waste of about 3% mainly comes from the energy loss to maintain the nuclear fusion state. It can be said that their waste rate will not exceed 0.1%."

"Have you researched their conversion technology?" Liu Jingguan suddenly became interested.

"We have researched it. It is a three-composite power generation system, which is a mixture of thermoelectric power generation, magnetic fluid power generation, and laser power generation. It is simply a perfect masterpiece." Femming paused and continued: "Of course they are in the nuclear fusion reaction. The ones above are not as good as us, they all have their own merits."

The reason why he said this is because the Anluo planet's nuclear fusion reactor can only proceed to the helium core stage, while the Human Innovation Alliance's nuclear fusion reactor can react to the iron core stage.

The technical comparison between the two sides is that the Anluo people have a small energy utilization rate and a high energy utilization rate, while the Human Innovation Alliance has a large energy utilization rate and a low utilization rate.

An - Nuclear fusion reactor: The nuclear fusion mass energy conversion rate is 0.63%, the nuclear energy utilization rate is 97%, and the unit energy conversion efficiency is 0.611%.

Human - Nuclear fusion reactor: The nuclear fusion qualitative energy conversion rate is 1.08%, the nuclear energy utilization rate is 74%, and the unit energy conversion efficiency is 0.799%.

Learning from each other's strengths, that is, the nuclear fusion energy conversion rate is 1.08%, the nuclear energy utilization rate is 97%, and the unit energy conversion efficiency is 1.0476%.

"Can it be copied?" Liu Jingguan is most concerned about this question.

Fei Anming nodded: "No problem. We are not inferior to the Anluo people in terms of thermoelectric power generation and magnetic fluid power generation systems. Now that we understand their laser power generation system, we can complete the system integration soon."

"Haha, that's great. This ternary power generation system, combined with my multiple nuclear fusion reactor, is even more powerful."

"Your multi-nuclear fusion reactor has come out?"

"Of course, our nuclear fusion reactor is inherently good and has the potential for upgrading and transformation." Liu Jingguan explained.

Fei Anming looked at his watch and said: "I only have some integration work left, which I estimate will be completed in about a week. We will test it then."

"Can."

…

Time flies by like a white horse, and like the roar of a river, it goes by forever.

Deep in the mountains of Qinling Mountains, the first snow of the first year of the Milky Way begins to sweep southward from Siberia, and the densely dyed forests and white snow complement each other.

The large-scale Nuclear Fusion Research Institute Qinling Base was also wrapped in falling snowflakes.

Liu Jingguan took a special train from the dormitory area to work at the base. Outside the train window was a vast expanse of white. The beauty of Zhongnan Mountain and the deserted winter snow created a Zhongnan snow scene with thousands of birds flying over the mountains.

However, he was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Taking advantage of his free time, Liu Jingguan used a holographic projection to flip through the alliance's scientific journals. In the first year of the Galaxy when science began to explode, there were countless scientific theories or materials and technologies every day. proposed, discovered or created.

If he doesn't study for a day, he feels like he is out of touch with the world.

The train he took was a special train from the institute, so the speed was not too fast. It was mainly for comfort. The smooth special train took about 20 minutes to reach the platform of the Qinling base.

As soon as he got off the train, Liu Jingguan hurried to the laboratory. Today's experiment was a joint test of his multiple nuclear fusion reactor and Fei Anming's ternary power generation system.

Fei Anming handed a bottle of hot soy milk to Liu Jingguan, who had just walked in: "Jingguan, drink some hot soy milk to warm yourself up."

"Thanks, by the way, are you ready for the experiment?" Liu Jingguan asked while drinking soy milk.

"Ready, ready to experiment at any time."

Half an hour later, everything was ready, and a Jinwu Type III nuclear fusion reactor was already in the spacious laboratory.

Fei Anming pressed the switch, and the intense nuclear fusion reaction quickly started in the reactor. The DD nuclear fuel was ionized by neutrons, and then fused into helium nuclei - carbon nuclei - neon nuclei - sodium nuclei... step by step. Fusion of light elements to heavy elements.

The surging energy output is more intense and violent than the nuclear fusion of stars, and the ternary power generation system continuously converts nuclear energy into electrical energy output.

"Successful." Fei Anming jumped with excitement as he looked at the data in the instrument.

Under the same quality of nuclear fuel, the power generation capacity of the third-generation Jinwu nuclear fusion reactor (multiple nuclear fusion + ternary power generation) is 224.71% of the first-generation Jinwu nuclear fusion reactor, and is the second-generation Jinwu nuclear fusion reactor. (Multiple Nuclear Fusion) 131.08%.

It can be said to be a leap-forward development like a qualitative change. If the third-generation Jinwu nuclear fusion reactor is applied to a spacecraft, taking the prototype developed by Zhou Botong and his colleagues as an example, it can reduce the fuel consumption of the photon engine to about 156 grams per second. .

This degree of decline is already about a quarter of the initial 700 grams per second, which means that the cruising range of the Human Innovation Alliance's spacecraft is almost twice that of the Anluo planet.

The cruising range has been increased from less than half of the Anluo Star spacecraft to twice the cruising range of the Anluo Star spacecraft, which is an increase of about four times.

The Qinling Base quickly reported the test results. Regarding this result, which was better than the previous one, confidence within the Human Revolution Alliance immediately increased.
