Warship of Great Power

"Come on, cheers!" Qin Tao raised the wine glass in his hand: "On behalf of Mingzhou Group, I would like to congratulate us on the breakthrough progress we have made in the field of nuclear fusion! I hope everyone will continue to work hard and realize the commercial operation of nuclear fusion reactors as soon as possible. !”

"Come on, cheers!" Others are also very excited. For experts who have studied nuclear physics for half a lifetime, today is a moment worth celebrating. This is a huge breakthrough!

"Yes, although we are lagging behind in the field of nuclear fission, we have become a leader in the field of fusion!" Krasnopolski said: "In the future, we will continue to work hard and strive to achieve success as soon as possible. Commercialization!”

Dongfang successfully developed controllable nuclear fusion technology with laser ignition. The news quickly spread throughout the world.

Well-known Western media began to report a lot, and some TV stations launched a program similar to Zhang Zhongshuo, and began to comment on this project.

"We know that in the 1950s, the hydrogen bomb had been successfully developed, but the hydrogen bomb used an atomic bomb as an ignition device. When it exploded, it would produce a large amount of radioactive material. Therefore, the hydrogen bomb was not clean. But now, the East has this With this technology, a clean hydrogen bomb can be developed.”

A military expert with a proud face began to comment.

"The ignition source of the hydrogen bomb is changed from the atomic bomb to the laser. The high-energy laser directly promotes the thermonuclear fusion reaction of hydrogen isotopes without producing radioactive substances. Such a hydrogen bomb is a clean hydrogen bomb and can even be used as a conventional weapon. We must be wary of this, as the Orientals will be able to use this killer weapon unscrupulously in the future.”

For countries that can make mushroom bombs, the first step is to develop atomic bombs, and the second step is to develop hydrogen bombs. However, after the hydrogen bomb was developed, few countries mass-produced equipment. They were generally used to demonstrate the power of weapons. Muscle. Although the hydrogen bomb is many times more powerful than the atomic bomb, its shelf life is very short.

The half-lives of the two nuclear materials in the atomic bomb are 24,100 years and 700 million years respectively, so these materials will not break down, but as time goes by, various components, such as fuzes and the like, will malfunction. Therefore, the atomic bomb The shelf life is generally thirty years, but hydrogen bombs use deuterium and tritium isotopes with a half-life of only 12.43 years, so the shelf life of hydrogen bombs is only 12 years.

"We know that the shelf life of hydrogen bombs is very short, so it is not the focus of nuclear weapons experts. Nowadays, hydrogen bomb technology is rarely developed. However, the East has this technology of using laser to detonate hydrogen bombs, which can simulate hydrogen bomb explosions in the laboratory. The physical process and explosive effects of this experiment can be used to study and improve hydrogen bombs without conducting nuclear tests. The success of this experiment means that the East can develop more and more advanced hydrogen bombs. "

This TV program quickly spread all over the world. When he saw these analyses, Qin Tao was speechless.

"These guys have improved their ability to throw dirty water. We obviously want to develop nuclear fusion to benefit mankind, but in their mouths, it turns out that we want to make hydrogen bombs. Our Mingzhou Group has actually turned into an arms company. It is also the company that produces the most powerful mushroom bombs!”

"Mr. Qin, should we let Zhang Zhong do a program specifically to refute their arguments?"

"No need, this will make people think that we are afraid, so we will develop our own. The International Atomic Energy Agency does not dare to compare. Their arguments can only scare their own people."

In fact, countries first studied laser ignition nuclear fusion to study the reaction process of hydrogen bombs. However, the era of nuclear weapons has long passed. Almost everyone has this view: Nuclear war cannot be fought. If it is fought , it would be the end of the world, and there would be no need to think about how to protect yourself. Even if you survive at that time, you will die in the cold winter of nuclear war.

What needs to be developed now are conventional high-tech weapons, and future wars belong to the high-tech era!

etc!

Thinking of this, Qin Tao said: "Max hasn't gone back yet? Find him and let's brag to the outside world!"

Using Zhang Zhong to refute the opponent is no longer very lethal. After all, everyone knows that Zhang Zhong serves Dongfang and the Mingzhou Group. But Max is different. He belongs to all mankind and he has been working hard. Help all mankind realize the dream of landing on Mars.

Whatever Max says will come true, and he never brags! Max is simply the Godfather of Mars, and he has a large number of fans all over the world.

Therefore, as long as Max comes out and says a few words, he can shatter those weird remarks that throw dirty water.

Soon, Max was standing in the control room of the artificial sun. From the glass behind him, he could see the huge artificial sun below. There was a microphone in front of him, and he stood in front of the camera with great interest. Front.

"Hello everyone, I am Max. You should be able to see that behind me is the artificial sun, which is controllable nuclear fusion. I am very happy that in this field, we have reached the forefront of the world again. At the same time, I also see This technology has made a major contribution to the aerospace industry. I have decided that after the Starship Company completes research on a starship that can fly to Mars, it will abandon the chemical rocket technology route. We believe that nuclear fusion rockets are the future of interstellar technology. The most suitable means of transportation for traveling.”

Some people throw dirty water and say that our artificial sun is for military service and to make weapons. Let's talk about the benefits of this technology after a breakthrough!

"We know that the principles of traditional liquid rockets are the same. Fuel and oxidizer are burned in the rocket engine to generate high-temperature and high-pressure gas to push the rocket forward. Even thousands of tons of fuel can be burned out in a few minutes. But just to be able to push hundreds of tons of spacecraft into Earth orbit is quite wasteful.”

This is the case with chemical rockets, which burn very low energy, resulting in a small payload.

"We know that the energy released by the nuclear fusion of one gram of hydrogen isotopes is equivalent to the energy released by the combustion of 457 kilograms of hydrogen. The difference is 460,000 times. Humans can only fly out of the earth by using chemical energy, but they cannot fly out of the solar system. Even reaching Mars is so difficult, but if you use a nuclear fusion engine, it will be easy.”

"We have calculated that the power generated by nuclear fusion rockets will increase the current speed of human spaceflight by nine times. It takes nine months to reach Mars with current technology, but it may only take one month in the future!"

Speaking of this, Max's face showed an excited expression: "This means that it will be more convenient and faster for us to go to Mars in the future. We can go to Mars as easily as traveling to the moon!"

"Here, I would also like to talk about the simple details of nuclear fusion rockets." Max introduced: "In the past, there was a design idea for nuclear fission rockets. Specifically, it was to use nuclear reactors to heat the fuel and let The fuel directly turns into high-temperature and high-pressure gas and rushes out. Now, nuclear fusion rockets generally follow this idea, but they are more efficient.”

A nuclear fission rocket is like carrying a nuclear reactor into the sky. The liquid fuel, usually liquid hydrogen, can be heated and turned into high-temperature and high-pressure gas after entering the nuclear reactor. However, this kind of rocket has never been used. , because nuclear fission is radioactive. When the rocket ignites, these radioactive materials will be ejected to the surroundings along with the fuel, and then spread to the whole world with the movement of the atmosphere.

Unless it is used from space, such as taking off from a space station or lunar orbit, to travel to other planets, if it is taken off from the ground, it will simply pollute the world!

Nuclear fusion is different. It is pollution-free. The guy who poured dirty water on Mingzhou Group also said that laser-detonated nuclear bombs should be used as conventional weapons because they are so clean. Now, there is no problem using nuclear fusion technology to build engines and take off directly from the surface of the earth.

"Nuclear fusion can release hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature, which is enough to heat ordinary fuel, turn it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then spray it out through a magnetically constrained nozzle. The jet speed of this engine will be as high as 300 kilometers per hour. Seconds or more, the nuclear fusion rocket can reach a super speed of 800,000 kilometers per hour!”

"In addition to nuclear fusion rockets, the project team is currently also planning to manufacture nuclear fusion reactors. After successful commercialization in the future, the world will no longer have the problem of power shortage. Currently, Golden Sun Electric Vehicles has begun to develop wireless charging technology. All roads will be paved with wireless charging networks, and all vehicles will not need to burn oil or carry huge battery packs. They can travel lightly. Because of our breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology, the world will become a better place!"

The scene of the future world described by Max quickly spread all over the world. Countless people who believed in Max began to promote these technologies. Some people even made a three-dimensional model of the future world, which allowed people to experience it in person.

As for those slanderous claims and the talk of fusion weapons, they quickly disappeared.

"Max takes action, one can beat the three of them!" Qin Tao has returned to the Mingzhou Group. Looking at newspapers and media from all over the world, they are all praising nuclear fusion rockets and yearning for a better world in the future. No one said anything about nuclear fusion. It's about weapons.

"Yes, I also want to experience this beautiful world in the future." Xu Zhengyang said.

"Okay, wear holographic glasses and enter the digital world to experience it."

"I mean really go in and feel it."

"When you retire, maybe that's about the same."

Xu Zhengyang smiled: "Mr. Qin, the gantry crane purchased by Ah San has been shipped and assembled."

"So soon? Their shipyard just dug a hole, right?"

According to the construction methods of general shipyards, the gantry crane will definitely not be installed until the dock is completed. Now, the gantry crane is being installed next to the dock while it is still being dug. This is too unscientific.

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that they hope to install a gantry crane as soon as possible so that the excavated soil can be transported to the ground through the gantry crane and then transported away."

Ah San did not have the modern construction machinery from the East, so the construction was very slow and the excavated soil could not be transported away quickly, so Ah San thought of a gantry crane.

However, this is only one aspect. On the other hand, since the agreement has been reached, the British will definitely want to deliver the goods to Asan as soon as possible. In this way, even if the agreement is reached, Asan will want to There is no chance to regret it.

Asan, Cochin Shipyard.

Sunil and others watched the special ship transporting the gantry crane approaching from a distance, with excitement on their faces.

"With this gantry crane, we can use a faster segmented construction method to build the aircraft carrier, and our construction period can be shortened by at least half!"

"Yes, the maximum number of segments that can be built is 12,000 tons. An 80,000-ton aircraft carrier only needs six or seven segments!"

"We will definitely be able to catch up with Dongfang's speed!"

When he heard about chasing, Sunil's face looked a little ugly: "What does chasing mean? We have always been better than the Easterners. They have owned aircraft carriers for less than ten years, and we have been operating them for fifty years! Even if they have We have an advanced aircraft carrier and no experience. This is not a casual statement for a century-old navy!”

As he spoke, the ship was getting closer and closer. Sunil looked at the bow: "Isn't this ship from an Oriental?"

"Yes, although the freight is twice as expensive as Dongfang's normal quotation, we, Asan, will never cooperate with Dongfang people. We will not let Dongfang people earn our own money. We use Nordic ships. ”

Even if the gantry crane is disassembled, it is still a large piece that is over long and over wide and requires special ships to transport it. Zhenhua Heavy Industries in the East has been doing port machinery all year round. It builds and transports it by itself. It has dozens of ships sailing in the world's oceans. For them, it is very easy to transport the port aircraft to Europe, and then transport the second-hand British port aircraft to Asan on the way back, and the freight is not high.

However, Ah San felt that this was a humiliation. Even if the freight was twice as expensive, he would still have to find a European ship to transport it!

"Yes, we have to argue."

The ship slowly entered the port and started working. Watching the big guys being unloaded, Sunil had a smile on his face: "This is really a big guy. By the way, how do you put these things together?"

"Some are bolted and some are welded. It takes about half a month to assemble." A technician from the UK said: "However, please rest assured that assembly is included in the transaction fee and there will be no additional charges."

"Okay, we know that Britain is our best partner and provides us with the best conditions. You can install it as soon as possible. Our dock construction is still waiting for use."

"Of course, we will install it as quickly as possible. However, you need to provide us with two thousand-ton cranes."

If you want to install a large crane, you have to use a small crane to lift various parts of the large crane. The weight of a gantry crane that can lift 12,000-ton segmented ships is also super amazing, especially the beam of the gantry crane. Two thousand-ton cranes are required to lift it together!

Sunil nodded: "Okay, let's make arrangements immediately. Alex, you can coordinate the arrival of two cars."

Alex shook his head at that time: "One thousand tons, how is that possible? The largest crane in our country is only two hundred tons!"

Sunil, a high-ranking official, didn't understand anything, and he didn't even know what a thousand-ton crane existed.

In 1985, in order to expand its business, German crane manufacturer RIGA MAINZ decided to order a "wheel-type hydraulic telescopic jib crane" with a capacity of 800 tons from Gottwald, a leading manufacturer in the crane industry at that time.

At that time, Liebherr was still an unknown player, and Sany Heavy Industry had not yet started. Gottwald was the leader in this field. They made a plan at that time and decided to build two cars, one The main vehicle of the ten-axis chassis crane and a nine-axis chassis equipped with a boom are docked at the construction site.

After it was manufactured, they were surprised to find that the vehicle they had built was so strong that it could lift a thousand tons of cargo normally. So, the world's first thousand-ton crane was born, and , and he sat on this throne for 22 years!

During this time, no other crane of the same type came into existence, and Gottwald did not build a second crane of the same model because it was not needed!

Now, Sunil asked Alex to find two one-thousand-ton cranes. Isn’t that nonsense? Where to find it? You thought it was cow dung? It’s found everywhere?

"How is it possible? Dongfang's Zhenhua Heavy Industry has sold so many port machines. How do they hoist them?" Sunil asked in confusion.

"Crane ship," the Englishman replied.

ZPMC provides a one-stop service for selling port machinery. When the transportation is over, the crane ship will be in place. It can be directly hoisted and installed at the port. The crane is put on the ship. It gets rid of the restrictions of the ground and can be enlarged without limit. It has a lifting capacity of any number of tons, which can certainly solve the problem.

However, except for Zhenhua Heavy Industries, no one else in the world can do it!

"Do we have it in the UK?"

The Englishman shook his head.

"Are they available in Europe?"

The Englishman continued to shake his head.

"Are they the only ones in the world who own Zhenhua Heavy Industry?"

"If it is lifting at sea, the lifting capacity must be 2,000 tons. Only Zhenhua Heavy Industry has this level."

On land, two cranes can work together, but at sea, only one crane can be used for construction, and two cranes working together will interfere. The development of this thing is more difficult than on land, because the ship has to rock back and forth at sea. !

"No, we absolutely cannot hire ships from the East!" Sunil said: "We are looking for cranes from all over the world. I don't believe it. We can't find a suitable one-thousand-ton crane. No matter how much money we spend, we can accept!"

Is Asan rich? Ah San has the largest number of poor people in the world! Is Asan poor? Ah San has always been a local tycoon when shopping for things, and even the wealthy are willing to be inferior to him.
