My Black Tech Shelter

On the edge of a grand canyon in the northern hemisphere of Mars near the equator, there is a huge alloy door on a hollowed-out stone wall at the bottom of the canyon.

This gate is ten meters high. At the same time, there is a huge flat land outside the gate, which has been renovated to form a huge apron!

Although Mars has been transformed, the time is still short after all, so except for some dead plants that transformed the planet, there are no other life forms here!

At this moment, this tarmac welcomes its owner,

Lu Chen arrived here on Pegasus One!

"Zero, this place is nice!"

"Yes sir, this is also a more suitable place to hide a nuclear fusion reactor.

In addition, the lower part of the canyon is relatively wide, which is very convenient for transporting a lot of materials! "

"Well, that's good. It took a lot of time to find such a place!"

"Sir, I found this place by chance, and before the transformation of Mars, the location was not very good.

The depth of the canyon is too shallow and the space at the bottom is too small, making this area an alternative location.

But after the transformation of Mars was completed, I found that the landscape here has been transformed to fully meet our requirements!

So I sent a large number of robots to station here and began to dig into a cliff at the bottom of the canyon to build a new base! "

"Well done, if you plant some tall trees behind it, you can completely cover this place!"

"Yes sir, I have ordered a batch of tall tree saplings from the Internet. They will arrive on Mars in a week!"

"Well, that's very thoughtful! Come on, open the door, I'll go in and take a look!"

"Yes sir!"

Under Zero's control, the door to this base was opened!

After entering the interior, Lu Chen found that the space in this base was not very large.

Of course, this standard is based on the standards of a large base!

Looking at it, this base is still relatively simple.

In addition to some necessary infrastructure, a first-generation nuclear fusion reactor that has almost been assembled is placed in the middle of the base.

The entire base continued to extend downwards. After Lu Chen came in, he walked nearly a hundred meters through the passage to enter the core area of ​​the base.

Here, huge fusion reactors take up a lot of space,

After Lu Chen walked out of the passage, he was directly above the fusion reactor.

Lu Chen knew the size of the entire reactor. It was 15 meters tall and covered an area of ​​400 square meters.

So from the perspective of a general shelter, this underground space is already quite large.

Go down the stairs and enter the main control room on the side.

Here, Lu Chen will start his own work to upgrade the second-generation fusion reactor.

While Lu Chen was working, in the Mars automatic factory, a batch of solar wind helium-3 collectors manufactured by Zero Arrangement had been successfully manufactured and rolled off the production line!

This helium-3 collector is like a huge umbrella. It is folded together when not in use.

It will not be deployed until it reaches the right place. At the same time, the solar sail will capture the solar wind. Of course, there is a propeller on the umbrella handle to ensure that the collector is not blown away by the solar wind!

On the umbrella surface, after the solar wind is collected, a circular arc will slide the material in the solar wind to the edge, and then enter the refining equipment at the rear, where the helium-3 in the solar wind will be extracted.

After compression, the gaseous helium-3 will be compressed into liquid helium-3, which will then be packaged and transported back to Mars.

At this moment, in this factory, after the production of these helium-3 collectors was completed, they were transported out of the factory, loaded on transport trucks, and transported to the nearby aviation base.

There, these collectors will fly to the starport in a low-Earth vehicle and be delivered to the cargo spacecraft!

At the same time, the factory is also working hard to produce the next batch of collectors.

Half a month later, a spacecraft carrying a helium-3 collector arrived near Mercury.

This spacecraft, which came to the vicinity of Mercury for the first time, aroused the interest of the Dragon Kingdom fleet patrolling here.

Because there were no weapons, the small fleet stopped to see what the spacecraft was going to do!

Of course, we didn’t rush up to check, because everyone saw the Nano Group logo on the spacecraft!

"Captain, what do you think this spaceship is planning to do when it comes here alone?"

"You ask me who I'm asking! I don't know, these scientists have wild ideas.

If I hadn't had the talent in this area, so I didn't continue my studies, I only had a bachelor's degree and then joined the army.

Otherwise, if I were up there today, maybe I could answer your questions! "

"hey-hey!"

The soldier smiled and said,

"Captain, the cargo door of the opponent's spaceship is open!"

"Look what they're going to do!"

On the bridge of the battleship, a group of people were watching Lu Chen's spaceship.

At this time, on the spacecraft, the door to the cargo bay began to open.

The robots inside each held two helium-3 collectors and flew into the starry sky.

Then he came to the front of the spacecraft, facing the sun, activated the helium-3 collector in his hand, and then threw it out!

After flying for a certain distance, the entire helium-3 collector was opened.

Just like a large umbrella, but without the large curvature of an umbrella,

When fully deployed, each collector can reach an area of ​​more than 600 square meters.

Although this area is relatively large for a house, if you put it in the universe, it would be dust that is not even a grain of sand!

Fortunately, this kind of collector is simple in structure and easy to produce, so we brought nearly 5,000 of them this time!

After all the helium-3 collectors were deployed, the robot returned to the cabin and took out the refining equipment.

Follow the installation steps in your own program and fix the refining equipment behind the helium-3 collector step by step!

The specific efficiency of these five thousand helium-3 collectors is not yet known. We can only wait until the next day to clearly know how much helium-3 can be collected in this area in one day!

After waiting for a day, the statistics came out. Five thousand helium-3 collectors can collect 100 kilograms of liquid helium-3 a day.

This data is already very impressive. You must know that the sun in the universe emits solar wind in all directions. Although there are many helium-3 collectors, they occupy too small an area.

Being able to collect so many is considered a sign of Lu Chen’s skill!

Lu Chen, who was far away studying the Fire Constellation, was also very happy after knowing this data.

After all, after the reactor is upgraded, there are not many raw materials required for the fusion reaction.

With so much production now, Lu Chen would not sell it in large quantities just because it was too much.

Instead, it is used as a kind of material for strategic reserve.

Because I don’t know when a policy will come down that does not allow private collection of helium-3, then at least I can still use it. Although this possibility is slim, Ye can’t help but take precautions!

After the previous patrol team reported the situation here on Mercury, the Academy of Dragon Science also understood the function of these large umbrellas from the video!

But knowing something is one thing, and being able to do it is another.

Regarding this situation, the Long Academy of Sciences did not assign Life Insurance to conduct research.

After all, based on the current situation of Blue Star, the helium-3 on the moon alone is enough for human use for thousands of years.

On Mercury, Dragon Kingdom’s exploration team also discovered a large amount of helium-3.

After all, because Mercury is so close to the sun, its atmosphere has already been blown away.

Therefore, in the soil of Mercury, the element content of helium-3 is very high, and the quality is better than that of the moon!

So for now, helium 3 is still enough. When it is almost used up, the technical reserves will be sufficient by then, and such equipment can be easily taken out.

After all, Lu Chen showed them all the methods, and these scientists' Sharingan is not blind!

Looking at Mars, at the Lu Chen Earth Nuclear Fusion Research Base, after more than 20 days of transformation, the transformation of the second-generation fusion reactor was finally completed.

Lu Chen had not experienced such high-intensity work for a long time.

The last time I was so tired was a short period of time after the disaster day. In order to collect survival supplies, I went out day and night to collect supplies.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but chuckle,

"Zero, how is the condition of each component?"

"Sir, everything has been checked and you can start the experiment!"

"Okay, start the fusion reactor, add fuel, and pay attention to the power supply!"

"Roger! Start the energy device and turn on the centrifugal accelerator!"

"The accelerator is running, and the deuterium and helium elements are accelerating!"

"Reaching the critical point, the two elements begin the fusion reaction, and the core temperature begins to increase!"

"100,000 degrees... 1 million degrees... 10 million degrees... 100 million degrees! The temperature rise rate slows down and temperature control begins!

One hundred million degrees... one hundred and eleven million degrees... one hundred and fifty million degrees! The temperature is stable and controllable, and fusion proceeds normally! "

"Sir, the reactor has been restarted successfully, running smoothly, and the output power is 40 megawatts per second!"

"Well, not bad, it's pretty much what I expected.

By the way, what about the consumption of raw materials?"

"Sir, based on the current consumption of raw materials, this reactor needs to consume one kilogram of fusion raw materials a day!"

"That's not bad. At least it's not negative and there is still a balance.

In this case, remember to build a new large-scale nuclear power plant to ensure the normal operation of these laboratories of mine! "

"Okay sir, what are the standards?"

"Well, the power has to reach an output of 60 megawatts per second! No problem!"

"Okay sir, I have the detailed construction information here, there is no problem!"

"In this case, I will go back first.

By the way, since this nuclear power plant is successful, then you can use this as a basis to expand the underground base here.

It requires self-sufficiency in life and production and manufacturing.

Several large laboratories are being built, and I estimate that a lot of future research will only be conducted here! "

"Yes sir!"

Lu Chen nodded, left the underground base, boarded Pegasus One, and left!
