As the mineral island is in full swing in the construction period, the prices of major mineral products in the world, except for energy mines, have fallen in response, and some have fallen by more than 50%. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Iron ore, silver, lead, zinc, titanium, manganese, copper...... These major industrial mineral raw materials have fallen to record lows.

As for energy minerals, in fact, the price of these 22 asteroids has fallen almost before they reach the earth. No way, with the commercial promotion of controlled nuclear fusion technology, the world is now vigorously building controlled nuclear fusion nuclear power plants.

Controlled nuclear fusion is different from previous nuclear fission reactors, although the process of controlled nuclear fusion also produces some isotope radioactive elements, that is, the so-called nuclear waste, but the half-life of this nuclear waste is generally very short, so it is not a mistake to say that controlled nuclear fusion does not produce nuclear waste.

In the past, although humans have invented hydrogen. bomb this nuclear fusion technology, but this technology is uncontrollable. Later, controlled fusion was achieved in laboratories using superconducting tokamak devices, but the technology could not be commercially scaled up on a large scale like a nuclear fission reactor.

Although superconducting tokamak devices can achieve controlled nuclear fusion in the laboratory, this method is only one direction of human research on controlled nuclear fusion. It is absolutely not feasible to promote this technology in reality.

This is because the superconducting tokamak device itself is an extremely energy-intensive device. To put it bluntly, this device uses a super strong magnetic field and vacuum insulation created by a super strong current to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

A superconducting tokamak device consumes an unimaginably large amount of electricity in a single operation. Even if controlled nuclear fusion can be achieved, the electricity generated by nuclear fusion may not be as good as the electricity consumed by a superconducting tokamak device for a single operation.

At present, there is no way for human beings to use superconducting tokamak devices for experiments. Under the current level of human science and technology, there is no material that can withstand the high temperature and high pressure during nuclear fusion, so this method of using a super magnetic field to bind the high temperature and high pressure plasma can only be used.

However, Tang Feng got several special materials from Eric two years ago, including the manufacturing method of materials used in controlled nuclear fusion reactors. With this high-strength material, the superconducting tokamak device, which can only be used in the laboratory, can be immediately returned to the museum.

After the experiments of many scientists, this new material can definitely bear the heavy responsibility of building a controllable nuclear fusion reactor, so as the special steel factory built by Tang Feng in Tianqu's hometown began to produce this special material in a steady stream, countries around the world with the ability and financial resources are beginning to build controllable nuclear fusion power plants.

At present, the controlled nuclear fusion reaction used by humans is deuterium-helium-3 polymerization, not deuterium-tritium polymerization. Although the fusion conditions of the former are higher than those of the latter, tritium is too difficult to find, and the tritium in the world is only 500 kilograms, which simply cannot bear the heavy responsibility of serving as a material for large-scale nuclear fusion.

Originally, there was not much helium-3 on the earth, but Tang Feng now controls the moon, and the helium-3 on the moon is a big grasp, and Tang Feng also carried over a full 50,000 tons of helium-3, and these helium-3 alone are enough for the earth to use for thousands of years.

As for deuterium, it is estimated that there are as many as 40 trillion tons of deuterium in the world's oceans, which would be enough for tens of billions of years if all of them were used for nuclear fusion.

It is precisely because of the special metal materials for the construction of controlled nuclear fusion reactors and the solution of helium-3 as a raw material for nuclear fusion that controllable nuclear fusion power stations can be rapidly promoted around the world.

Moreover, the controllable nuclear fusion power station is different from the nuclear fission reactor used in the past, as long as this thing is built, one can top the output power of dozens of nuclear fission reactors. Just like an ordinary nuclear fusion power station being built in a coastal area of China, there is only one controllable nuclear fusion reactor, but the power of this controllable nuclear fusion reactor is as high as 84,000 megawatts!

At present, the world's largest fusion power station, the Kashiwazaki-Kariba nuclear power plant in Saimoto, has a total of seven nuclear fission reactors, and its total power is only 8,800 megawatts......

The power of the nuclear fusion reactor is amazing, even the small controllable nuclear fusion reactor that Tang Feng plans to use on the three manned spacecraft of the Tinder program, its power is as high as 36,100 megawatts, and the size of the reactor is only a little larger than a shipping container......

Controlled nuclear fusion technology is the main source of energy for mankind in the future, so when this technology enters the commercial promotion stage, the world's energy mines immediately plummet. Down's also teamed up with several well-known energy companies, such as ExxonMobil, to set up a company dedicated to promoting, building and operating controlled fusion power plants, whose role is to build low-cost fusion power stations for countries and regions that cannot afford to build controlled fusion power plants, and then provide these countries with sufficient electricity and then recoup their investment by charging electricity fees.

The investment in a controlled fusion power plant is much lower than that of a nuclear fission power plant, because a controlled fusion power station does not need to consider nuclear waste, and the safety aspect is much lower than that of a nuclear fission power station, after all, it will hardly produce any nuclear waste, so there is no need to do extra protection.

The bottleneck that prevented controlled fusion technology from entering commercial promotion was the problem of reactor materials, and now that this material can be mass-produced, the cost of building a controlled fusion power station is even lower than the cost of building a thermal power station with the same installed capacity.

It can be said that in the past two years, the earth has begun to enter the era of controlled nuclear fusion. Therefore, whether it is oil, coal, or natural gas, the price will naturally plummet a lot. The use of new energy has made the earth almost free of the risk of energy crisis......

In fact, this is a perfect embodiment of how technology changes lives. Although this technology is not completely developed by the earthlings themselves, in any case, through the introduction of this series of technologies, the earth has now begun to enter a new era.

The two major problems of energy and mineral resources, which have plagued mankind for decades, have been initially solved with the tireless efforts of Tang Feng. In the next step, Tang Feng is ready to solve another major problem that has plagued mankind for a longer time - the food problem! (To be continued.) )
