Chapter 342: X Nuclear Energy

After the establishment of the God of War Company, it deservedly became the world's No. 1 arms dealer. At present, the total number of employees of Ares Company is 220,000!

Many countries or institutions sent congratulatory messages to the God of War Company, and Xie Guoan, the mayor of Beijing, who had dealt with Henry, even called to congratulate him. In his words, he euphemistically expressed his hope that the God of War Company could sell weapons to China, but Henry refused.

The U.S. government prohibits the sale of weapons to China, and Ares is a powerful but still American company.

Although it was rejected, it was already expected by Xie Guoan. Subsequently, he euphemistically proposed that he hoped that the God of War Company would not sell too many arms to Taiwan.

Lockheed Martin is Taiwan's largest arms supplier, and if it loses Lo Ma's arms supply, Taiwan's military will be paralyzed immediately.

When Henry heard this, he laughed and said nothing.

Neither refusal nor promise. It is up to the Chinese government to understand the meaning of this......

At this time, Henry also successfully completed the acquisition of Westinghouse's nuclear energy division. Westinghouse's nuclear power technology is the world's first, and combined with this technology, aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines can be even more powerful! In the future, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft will definitely use nuclear energy!

Henry merged Westinghouse's nuclear energy division into WilliamsX Laboratories and gave it the name "X Nuclear Energy Company", and transferred a number of engineers from British energy companies to the company to strengthen its technical capabilities. The reason for this name is obviously that there is a lot of hope, mainly to study nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fission is the splitting of a large atom into two smaller atoms, while nuclear fusion is the synthesis of two atoms with a small mass into a larger atom. Whether it's splitting or synthesizing, a huge amount of energy is released in the process!

Nuclear fission has entered commercial use. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity.

However, nuclear fission is compared to nuclear fusion. But it's too far off.

The energy released by nuclear fusion is much higher than the energy released by nuclear fission! The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion, you can imagine. How powerful is nuclear fusion!! hydrogen bomb is made on the principle of nuclear fusion, and if you want to detonate a hydrogen bomb, you must first detonate a nuclear fission atomic bomb. Here, too, the atomic bomb only plays the role of ignition!

In addition, fission reactors contain very limited nuclear fuel, which not only produces powerful radiation that harms the human body, but also makes it difficult to dispose of the waste that has been left for thousands of years, while nuclear fusion has much less radiation. The fuel for nuclear fusion can be said to be inexhaustible.

The fuel for the nuclear fusion reaction is the isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium, tritium, and the noble gas 3He, of which deuterium and tritium are extremely abundant on Earth. It has been estimated that 1 litre of seawater contains 30 milligrams of deuterium, and 30 milligrams of deuterium fusion produces the equivalent of 300 liters of gasoline, which means that 1 liter of seawater can produce the equivalent of 300 liters of gasoline. Tritium has 20 million times the calorific value of the same coal, and 4.5 billion tons of deuterium is naturally present in seawater, converting seawater into energy through nuclear fusion. At the current level of world energy consumption, it can be used by human beings for hundreds of millions of years!

Unlike radioactive deuterium and tritium, 3He is an inert gas and is safer to operate. Moreover, it is cleaner and more efficient than deuterium and tritium fusion! Scientists believe that 3He is the most suitable and ideal fuel for nuclear fusion! However. There are no 3He deposits on Earth. But there is one on the moon that can provide 700 years of use on Earth. And the 3He on Jupiter and Saturn is almost endless!

Presently. 3He research centers have been established in countries around the world, and the research of X Nuclear Energy will also include 3He.

The time is ripe. Henry wants SpaceX to mine on other planets.

Henry doesn't grab mines from those people on Earth, there is a kind of them coming to space to grab ......

Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures to react, and in addition to igniting with atomic bombs, the most commonly used is lasers, which can output tens or even tens of billions of watts, enough to "ignite" nuclear fusion!

Henry's Hughes Laboratory is one of the strongest research institutions in the field of lasers!

Obviously, Henry has done a lot of work to study nuclear fusion.

In Henry's cognition, nuclear fusion is probably the ultimate energy source of mankind, and whoever masters nuclear fusion has the right to speak!

Build an "ark reactor" or something like Iron Man, and then make an Iron Man armor, it seems to be very awesome! However, steel armor is inconvenient to wear, and if it can be made into biological armor, it will be even more hanging! Of course, Henry is just thinking about it, God knows when it will be realized?

The research of nuclear fusion can be said to be a long way to go, and the amount of research and development funds required is probably an astronomical amount! But to be a human being, you must have dreams, and since you have been reborn, you must do some difficult and challenging things! Make money desperately, burn hard, and there will always be a day when dreams come true!

With a wave of his hand, Henry took $10 billion to X Nuclear Energy Company to burn!

……

After the establishment of X Nuclear Energy, Henry also immediately strengthened the cooperation between X Nuclear Energy and Newport-News Shipyard! Newport-news Shipyard's nuclear energy research should not be underestimated, because Newport-news needs nuclear energy researchers, therefore, Henry did not transfer the technicians of Newport-news Shipyard to X Nuclear Energy. But the cooperation between the two companies allows X Nuclear Energy to directly take the shipyard's technology back to study, so it doesn't matter.

At the moment, the Newport-news shipyard is not integrated into the Ares company, but exists separately. Henry's plan is that in the future, the sea, land, and air will each form a system, but they must be interconnected, and they will all be the overlords of their respective fields!

Now, Ares has become the king of the air force, and the Newport-news shipyard can be regarded as the hegemon of the sea, but it is the army......! Maybe there will be a Space Force in the future!

A week or two later, George Joy, the CEO of Newport-news shipyards, flew to San Jose, accompanied by two engineers in their thirties and forties.

"Mr. Williams, the Adastra you designed last time has been modified by us and is now complete. ”

Henry said happily, "Did you bring the blueprints?"

George Joy pulled a document out of his bag and handed it to Henry.

Henry took it and compared it with before, and indeed changed a lot of places, but it was probably the same as before, except that all the data of the ship had been modified......
