Chapter 301: Energy Crystallization

Floating the city on the sea is Jiang Yuan's most time-consuming mission, but the rewards are also considerable.

180 points!

This is the highest score he has ever received, and now he has more than two hundred.

In addition, the system also unusually triggers two tasks at once.

"Mission: Conquer the seas. Serial task, step 2: within two years, the construction of the marine total resources exploration system and the marine total resources mining platform, and the construction of a number of marine total resources mining platforms, with a total area of not less than 1,000 square kilometers. Reward for success: Learn the headband. Failure penalty: 10 cm shorter limbs at random. ”

"Bonus Mission: Create Energy Crystals. Creates a working energy crystal in 30 days. Reward for success: Digital vision technology. Failure Penalty: None. ”

I'll it!

1000 square kilometers!

Jiang Yuan vomited blood.

The Shensi District covers an area of less than 12 square kilometers and has cost Jiang Yuan more than 100 billion US dollars.

This 1,000 square kilometers!

How much does it cost?

What's more, such a big investment, even if you have money, you can't solve it, okay!

What is money?

The essence of money is the ability to mobilize social resources.

Money itself is not productive, it can only buy productivity.

When the total value of the society's productivity in shipbuilding is less than 100 billion US dollars, no matter how much money Jiang Yuan spends, he can't create a food for thought.

The Pondering Zone has spent more than $100 billion, basically exhausting most of China's ship production capacity and a large part of the world's production capacity.

Now 100 times larger!

Jiang Yuan simply can't find a shipbuilding capacity of 10 trillion US dollars - about 10% of China's annual GDP!

Of course, it can't be so simple to calculate.

The Deep Thinking Zone is for people to live in, with high standards and strict requirements, while the offshore mining platform is for building mining equipment, and the manufacturing cost is definitely lower than that of the Deep Thinking Zone.

But even if it was 10 times lower, Jiang Yuan didn't have the confidence to make it.

The contemplative zone has almost brought China's civil shipbuilding to a standstill for two years, and Jiang Yuan can no longer ask for the continued stagnation of civil shipbuilding.

Moreover, with the launch of the Deep Thinking Zone and the strategic role of the sea-based light shield has begun to become prominent, countries will definitely pay more and more attention to maritime cities, which will lead to a series of industrial appreciation and price increases.

If the contemplation area is built now, it will cost at least 10% more.

And that's not all.

As a benchmark project, the huge role of ultra-large offshore mining in marine mining has been fully demonstrated, so that the value of related industries will appreciate, and the construction cost will continue to skyrocket, estimated at least 20%.

Since production cannot be made based on existing technology, Jiang Yuan can only find ways to improve the productivity of related industries.

First of all, it is necessary to expand the application of industrial exoskeletons.

The second is automated production.

This is only possible if fully or semi-automatic robotics can be applied on a large scale in offshore mining platforms, as is the case in the automotive industry today.

Fortunately, the algorithms and intelligent cores with the highest requirements for robot technology are software, and Jiang Yuan is sure to achieve it after upgrading the existing expert system several times.

Of course, the control and joint design of the robot are all difficult points, and they still need to be tackled in the later stage.

The reward task is what Jiang Yuan has been looking forward to for a long time, creating energy crystals!

For him, no matter how good a lithium battery or graphene battery is, it is a temporary replacement, because no matter how optimized it is, the energy density of the battery is pitifully low!

Hydrogen has the highest chemical energy per unit mass of combustion, which can reach 120 MJ per kilogram.

Without considering energy loss, one kilogram of hydrogen can generate more than 30 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Not to mention this extreme example, the energy density of gasoline we commonly use is as high as 12,000H per kilogram, about one kilogram is equivalent to 12 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Before Jiang Yuan invented the new lithium battery, the lithium battery was only about 1/40 of the energy density of gasoline, and the new lithium battery reached 1/10 of gasoline.

That's too low!

In comparison, nuclear fuel is terrifying.

The available energy of U235 reaches 83,140,000 MJ per kilogram, which is more than 20 million kilowatt-hours per kilogram!

So, in the long run, only nuclear batteries are king!

However, not to mention the technical difficulty of nuclear batteries, the danger is very high.

I don't know how to do this unknown energy crystallization technology?

Jiang Yuan opened the panel.

"Energy Crystallization Manufacturing Technology: Invention Unknown. Energy crystallization, also known as energy crystal battery, is made by charging sea red ore by using a certain regular magnetoelectric induction. After charging, Haihong ore will become an energy crystallization between matter and energy, with an energy density of 120000000MJ/kg, which is safe, stable and pollution-free. Sea red ore can be repeatedly charged and discharged without attenuation. ”

I'll go!

This is against the sky!

Higher energy density than nuclear fuel!

120000000MJ/kg, that is, more than 30 million kWh per kilogram!

Technology that doesn't even know when it was invented!

Can I reproduce it?

As a secondary energy source, batteries store the most widely used form of energy for human beings - electricity.

Jiang Yuan only increased the lithium battery by 4 times, and he did a lot of battery manufacturers, AOE Tesla, pulled Huaguo's electric vehicle industry to the world's first level, and also created a cross-era weapon such as exoskeleton mecha.

Now that he has tens of millions of times the energy density of lithium batteries, Jiang Yuan can not do too much!

For example, Huaguo's rockets are bound to make great progress!

The ratio of rocket thruster fuel to the total weight of the rocket is unimaginably large.

An ordinary rocket, the full weight is usually more than 100 tons.

Remove a few tons of payload (that is, satellites and the like), the rocket shell and rocket engine are only a few dozen tons, and the rest is fuel!

In the most recent manned flight, 300 tons of fuel were burned.

If the energy is not considered for the propulsion generated by the injection, a large load will be saved.

The cost of a rocket launch will be unimaginably low!

More than 30 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per kilogram is an extremely terrifying number.

At the top of the Ponder Zone, there is a 3.5-square-kilometer photoelectric algae power plant, which generates about 3.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, that is, about 3,500 MH.

In other words, it takes 12 days for the entire contemplation zone to fill with 1 kilogram of energy crystalline cells.

How big is this crystalline battery?

Based on the estimation of 23g/cubic centimeter of sea red ore, 1 kilogram is about 50 cubic centimeters, which is about half the size of a keyboard.......

The earth's annual power generation is about 25 trillion kWh, and 750 tons of sea red ore can be completely stored.

The No. 3 well is preliminarily estimated to have more than one million tons of Shanghai red ore, which is enough for thousands of years of global use if it can be fully charged......

In comparison, the lithium battery newly invented by Eagle Country is nothing at all!

As soon as the energy crystal battery came out, any battery became a joke.

Of course, the issue of technical secrecy is also troublesome.

The country must not want to disclose this kind of secondary energy to the Western camp, and Jiang Yuan does not want this kind of thing to happen.

It is estimated that energy crystalline batteries are unlikely to be popularized to the extent of civilian use in the short term.

Unless you can do a good job of technical secrecy?

While thinking about it, Jiang Yuan was about to start researching the energy crystallization manufacturing technology.
