Chapter 519: Beyond Imagination

When we think of nuclear technology, we think of nuclear weapons, but in fact, nuclear weapons are only one type of application of nuclear technology. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info nuclear technology is used in war, there will be a great catastrophe, it will destroy humanity.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States and the Red Empire, although in a state of extreme antagonism, had a high degree of unanimity on the understanding that it would bring destruction to all of humanity.

The consequences were so serious that senior U.S. officials were lamenting at the time whether they could see the sun tomorrow.

As weapons, nuclear weapons are more of a deterrent than a use. Once someone uses nuclear weapons, they will inevitably be subjected to nuclear retaliation, and the consequence will be that nuclear weapons will fly all over the sky, mankind will be destroyed, and the earth will be destroyed.

Another use of nuclear technology is to provide energy for human beings, such as nuclear power plants, spacecraft power, and so on. If it is used well, it will indeed bring great convenience to human beings.

Whether from the perspective of weapons or people's livelihood, nuclear technology should be developed and prioritized.

A country that does not have nuclear weapons cannot be called a great power and cannot have an important international status.

Because people aren't afraid of you!

The country has invested a huge amount of money and prioritized the development of nuclear technology, and Ye Chen is 100% in agreement.

"I think I understand why I proposed to develop a lunar program, and the country would agree, I think the country has been preparing for a long time." Ye Chen looked at these advanced equipment and realized something.

The Moon has a lot of mineral resources, which are needed by mankind. However, the most needed resource for mankind is the nuclear material helium-3, which could be used by humans for 10,000 years if it could be refined and returned to Earth.

In other words, in the foreseeable future, human beings will not have to worry about energy depletion, and there will be inexhaustible energy.

When Ye Chen proposed the lunar development plan, the chiefs and they quickly agreed. At that time, Ye Chen didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that he had persuaded the chief, but now he knew that the country must have made corresponding preparations in this regard.

"Xiaoye, we have a corresponding plan, but we are not developing the moon, although we are exploring the moon, we also want to develop the moon, and it is not possible to complete it in a short time. We want to develop asteroids and mine on them, especially rare ores. The chief explained with a smile.

"It's amazing, too." Ye Chen was very surprised.

There are more than 10,000 asteroids in low earth orbit, which contain abundant resources, especially rare minerals, and the reserves are amazing.

Moreover, the cost in low-Earth orbit is much lower than in the development of the moon. After all, these asteroids are in the vicinity of the Earth's orbit, and they can be mined by using spacecraft to send people to them, or machines to them.

Although the lunar development program is particularly promising, the cost is too high, the technical difficulty is too great, and the risk is high. If it hadn't been proposed by Ye Chen, the country would have confidence in Ye Chen and would not have adopted it.

Of course, the most important thing is that the design of the new rocket was completed, which gave the country hope for the development of the moon.

"Asteroid mining is not as difficult as we thought, and with the current technology, we will be almost there in ten years." The chief's words were astonishing.

"Ten years?" Ye Chen was very surprised.

The words that come out of the mouth of the chief must be completed with the confidence of the state after rigorous argumentation. Ye Chen really didn't think of this.

"Of course, if Xiao Ye can help, maybe it will be a few years earlier." The chief looked at it with a smile, full of anticipation.

Everyone looked at Ye Chen eagerly, hoping that he would agree.

"Chief, in fact, I don't participate, our country can also be a few years in advance." Ye Chen said with a smile.

"How?" The chief asked.

"First of all, I took out the manufacturing technology, which greatly reduced the difficulty of manufacturing the tools needed for asteroid mining work, especially the shorter construction period of the spacecraft, the technical difficulty is reduced, and the cost is reduced." Ye Chen began to dissect.

The chief nodded, agreeing with the statement.

Mining asteroids is still a difficult task for the existing technical conditions, and the technical difficulty required is particularly high. Ye Chen's manufacturing technology was announced in a timely manner, and the country would definitely use it to build tools for mining asteroids more easily.

"Besides, if the nuclear technology verification is successful, our country's nuclear technology will take a big step forward, and miniaturization will not be a problem. After the nuclear reactor is miniaturized, and it is still so stable, it can be used as a power for the spacecraft, it can stay in space for a longer time, and it can be mined for a long time, which is even cheaper. Ye Chen said again.

Bang Bang Bang!

The chief took the lead, and everyone applauded in unison, smiling faces.

Nuclear technology is going to be very difficult, but it is not very difficult. However, the practicality of large-scale nuclear reactors is greatly reduced. This can be seen from the history of the development of nuclear technology in Western countries. At the beginning, the hydrogen bomb in the United States was a very heavy big guy, and at that time there were not such large planes that could carry it, and it did not have actual combat capability at all.

With the advancement of technology, it is constantly decreasing, and finally it has actual combat capability.

Since the development of nuclear technology, miniaturization has been pursued. The more miniaturized it is, the more difficult it is technically.

For example, the United States has a tactical nuclear weapons program, and if it wants to develop nuclear weapons to the size of a briefcase, the yield of which is as high as several thousand tons of TNT, its practical value is too high.

This tactical nuclear bomb is especially suitable for destroying underground targets. In the event of war, send special forces, with tactical nuclear bombs, to infiltrate the enemy's underground fortifications, not to mention going deeper, just need to reach the vicinity and detonate tactical nuclear bombs, which will be enough to destroy the enemy's permanent fortifications.

The miniaturization of nuclear technology can be used not only as a tactical nuclear bomb, but also as a power source. For example, it would be beautiful to have a nuclear reactor in a spaceship, which is equivalent to having unlimited energy, and can work in space for a long time to mine asteroids.

The technical difficulties involved are still significant. However, with the strength of our country, it is not impossible to overcome.

"Of course, there is also the mass production of super light brains, which is also of great help to asteroid mining." Ye Chen said again.

To mine an asteroid, a spaceship must be controlled using a super light brain.

"Xiaoye, we are also studying asteroid mining. The specifics will depend on the results of this nuclear experiment. The chief nodded.

Asteroid mining is promising and could be used as a complement to the lunar development program. Before our country completes the lunar development plan, we can obtain the resources needed by mining asteroids to alleviate the shortage of mineral resources.

However, this needs to be adjusted according to the results of this nuclear experiment.

The father of the hydrogen bomb took Ye Chen to explain these equipment to Ye Chen, and by the way, he wanted to ask Ye Chen to help see if there was anything that needed to be improved about these equipment.

Ye Chenxin said, I'm going to exploit my labor force again. After reading it, Ye Chen believes that with the existing equipment, it can basically meet the needs of our country's next nuclear technology research and development, and there is no need to redo it, and some equipment can be improved.

"Thank you, Xiaoye." The father of the hydrogen bomb is very happy to have Ye Chen's help, and believes that these equipment can be upgraded to a higher level.

He heard Xu Lao talk about how advanced the equipment designed by Ye Chen was, and he was full of confidence in Ye Chen.

Once this is settled, it's time to move on to the simulation.

Before the simulation experiment, the leader speaks.

The chief greeted him and then went straight to the point, saying, "I am glad to hear that our country has made a new major breakthrough in its nuclear industry. On behalf of the country and the people, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to you. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Warm applause rang out, and the fathers of the hydrogen bomb, the nuclear scientists, were especially happy.

They were confident that the experiment would be successful. Even if they fail, they have made a major breakthrough, and they just need to find out the cause, make improvements, or it won't be long before they succeed.

"The motherland and the people hope that you will make persistent efforts and make greater contributions." The chief's speech was brief.

The speech ended with warm applause, and the simulation experiment began.

"Xiao Ye, let's see if there is any problem with these data." The father of the hydrogen bomb.

The nuclear technology was completed with the help of Ye Chen, and it was as it was for Ye Chen to help check the gates. Everyone looked at Ye Chen, full of eagerness.

Ye Chen also wanted to see these data, and he didn't shirk it, and immediately checked it.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Chen found that a lot of data had been modified, which was better than the original data. Presumably, this is the result of the efforts of the father of the hydrogen bomb.

"No problem." Ye Chen read it and gave a conclusion.

Call!

The hearts of the people were relaxed, and they were all full of joy.

If it weren't for Ye Chen's help, there would have been no nuclear experiment. Ye Chen's opinion is particularly important, everyone has to pay attention to it, even the father of the hydrogen bomb does not dare to despise it.

"Now, please start the simulation experiment." Elder Pan said loudly.

The simulation is done by the super light brain, the data is displayed on the projection screen, and the chief only needs to give instructions.

The crowd looked at the chief, waiting for the governor to give an order.

The chief took a deep breath, a little nervous, and it could be seen that the chief's mood was not calm.

Ye Chen and the chief have known each other for a long time, and they know that the chief has strategic determination, so how can he be nervous when he is idle. However, this nuclear experiment has a great deal to do with the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, strategic nuclear submarines, and other powerful weapons, as well as the asteroid mining plan.

The chiefs are so nervous, let alone the others. I was already nervous, and when I was infected by the chief, I was even more nervous.

"Mock nuclear experiment, start!" The chief gave the order in a loud voice.

The super light brain began to calculate, and a large amount of data was displayed on the projection screen.

Ye Chen and the others opened their eyes wide, staring at the projection screen without blinking. I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye, I will miss the excitement.

Everyone pursed their lips, very nervous, and did not speak, staring at the projection screen.

Time passed silently, and after an hour, it was still not finished.

Ye Chen was a little surprised, looking at the estimated time left, it would be another day.

The data of nuclear technology is already very large, and it is a miracle that our country was able to complete theoretical calculations by means of manual and abacus calculations.

Today's nuclear technology is more advanced, and the data is larger, even with the power of the super light brain, it takes more than a day.

This is the longest calculation required since the birth of Super Light Brain, except for rice genes.

Although it took a long time, no one left, and everyone stayed here, even the chief.

When I'm hungry, I go outside for something to eat, and soon come back to guard. If you are sleepy, you will go to the lounge to rest for a while, recover a little, and come back to guard.

Finally, the day passed. The calculations are out.

Ye Chen's eyes widened suddenly.
