Time has passed slowly like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the year 2150, and it has reached the middle of the 22nd century.

In the void somewhere in the Kuiper Belt of the Imperial Centauri Galaxy, the originally dark and silent void was now brightly lit, and the huge spaceships illuminated everything around them, and countless small spaceships continued to fly around on these huge spaceships, all of which were marked with the logo of the Imperial Academy of Science.

Inside a large spaceship, Li Wanzhou's face was full of excitement at this time, and the whole person looked very excited, after decades of research, the cold nuclear fusion he proposed at the beginning has now been successfully realized, and the final step of the test is about to be carried out.

Cold fusion technology, which uses a high-density, high-strength magnetic field to control neutrons to achieve nuclear fusion, has been thoroughly studied by scientists in theory for a long time, but it is still difficult to implement it.

Although the powerful magnetic energy technology has successfully controlled the neutrons to achieve nuclear fusion, the huge energy generated during nuclear fusion still fails the experiment again and again.

Cold nuclear fusion is achieved at room temperature or relatively high temperatures, but the powerful energy produced during nuclear fusion also produces terrifying high temperatures, a problem that has always puzzled the scientists of the Empire.

Li Wanzhou and others were even ready to give up the research of cold nuclear fusion and return to the study of thermonuclear fusion technology, until some scientists proposed the concept of a tokmak device, a superconducting tokamak device is a ring container that uses magnetic confinement and vacuum insulation to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, which makes the continuous steady-state operation of the magnetic confinement position a reality.

In fact, this tokmak device is an imaginary thing proposed by a great physicist in the 20th century, Tokmak, to control nuclear fusion, the principle is to use strong magnetic confinement and vacuum insulation to control the terrifying temperature produced by nuclear fusion.

It's just that human scientists have not been able to say that it has really been realized, and there is a reason for the scientists of the empire to put forward this concept again, because the magnetic energy technology and other scientific and technological technologies of the empire are quite advanced, and it is completely possible to study the tokmak device and successfully realize the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

After decades of struggle and research, using cold nuclear fusion technology and the Tokmak device, the scientists of the empire finally succeeded in developing controlled nuclear fusion technology.

This time, the experiment also attracted much attention, the imperial emperor Li Fu, the president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences Chen Bin, and many veterans of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Yu Liang, Cao Haitao, Yang Yiping, Yao Tianyi, Li Qianyu, Bai Cai, Gu Feng, Liu Jun, Dong Zhifei, Tang Boyuan, etc.

In the void at this time, in the huge spaceships, the elite scientists of the empire were looking forward to the experiment, and from time to time they were looking into the void in the middle.

In the middle void, there is a huge spaceship, this universe is different from other spaceships around, now the general spaceships of the empire use anti-gravity power systems, so they are all oval flying saucer-shaped spaceships, no matter whether the spaceship is big or small, all spaceships are like this, unless they use an anti-gravity power system.

The shape of this spacecraft is cuboidal, more than 10 kilometers long, 5 kilometers wide, up to 3 kilometers, the most peculiar thing is a huge tube-like thing at its tail, this tube alone has a diameter of 1 kilometer, a bit similar to the tail of a space fighter powered by a plasma engine.

Obviously, this spacecraft is definitely not a spacecraft with an anti-gravity system, otherwise, with such a shape, the anti-gravity system will not be able to operate well and stably at all, and the engines it is equipped with are warp engines and fusion power engines.

"Start!"

With Li Wanzhou's order, all the people focused their eyes on the spaceship in the distance, and at the same time, various monitoring instruments began to record everything.

There is no one on the spaceship in the middle, everything is controlled by computers, but there are also many kinds of animals and plants on the spaceship that are used as experiments.

Under Li Wanzhou's order, the supercomputer began to operate, and the nuclear fusion power system on the spacecraft began to operate, and the powerful magnetic energy beam instantly ignited the He3 in the nuclear fusion reactor, because there are no neutrons in the nuclear fusion reaction using helium-3 (the thermonuclear reaction between helium-3 and deuterium will only produce non-radioactive protons), so the use of helium-3 as an energy source will not produce radiation and will not bring harm to the environment, which is the most ideal nuclear fusion fuel.

In the nuclear fusion reactor, the nuclear fusion fuel instantly began to produce terrifying energy, and the temperature also began to rise rapidly, reaching a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees almost instantly, such a high temperature would have been enough to melt everything.

However, at this time, a strong magnetic field comes into play, and coupled with the design of vacuum insulation, powerful energy and high temperature are instantly sprayed out from the tail of the spacecraft in a set direction.

A dazzling white beam of light shot out from the tail of the spacecraft, more than a hundred kilometers in length, releasing an incomparably powerful energy, and the surrounding cold void was rapidly heated up by this powerful nuclear fusion energy and high temperature, and even the fluctuations of energy could be faintly seen with the naked eye.

At the same time, as the powerful white tail flame erupted, the spaceship with a mass of 10 billion tons also began to fly rapidly forward in the void, and the speed of the spaceship, which was originally stationary, began to soar rapidly, which was far faster than the spaceship using the anti-gravity power system.

You must know that the mass of this spacecraft has reached 10 billion tons, which is absolutely the standard of a proper large spacecraft according to the mass, but under the impetus of the powerful nuclear fusion power system, its speed soared very easily, and it is estimated that it will reach a speed of 1,000 kilometers per second in less than 1 hour.

"What a terrible power, this acceleration is too powerful!"

Chen Bin looked at the spaceship that was accelerating rapidly in the void, and then looked at the acceleration calculated by the computer next to him, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The nuclear fusion power system directly uses powerful energy as the power to propel the spacecraft forward, and there is no waste of energy in the middle, which is not to say that the nuclear fusion energy is converted into electrical energy, and then the point energy is converted into other energy."

Yu Liang's eyes were also shining, as if he had seen a peerless treasure, carefully admiring the spaceship that was moving away in the void.

"Boost the momentum!"

On the other hand, Li Wanzhou also looked at the data with satisfaction, which was almost the same as the data simulated by the supercomputer, not much different, but the nuclear fusion power system had just begun to operate, and it was only one-tenth of the power.

As Li Wanzhou's order was conveyed, the tail flame at the tail of the spacecraft began to elongate rapidly, originally only a tail flame of hundreds of kilometers, and slowly this blazing white and dazzling tail flame began to become 200 kilometers and 300 kilometers...... The speed of the spaceship also began to soar, and soon everyone's field of vision slowly became smaller, until only a few dazzling points of light remained, and the surrounding void seemed to be left with the heat left by the incandescent tail flame jet.

Although the spaceship slowly disappeared from everyone's field of vision, everyone could continue to track the traces of the spaceship with a fundamental monitor, and everyone looked at the monitor one by one, which was showing the operation of the spaceship.

"Originally, I just wanted to use nuclear fusion power to provide enough power to the warp engine, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful when used as power alone, and it was even better than the anti-gravity power system."

Li Wanzhou always pays attention to the data, but in his mind, he is constantly thinking about the performance of the spacecraft, in fact, it depends largely on the power system of the spacecraft.

The anti-gravity power system is very powerful, there is no doubt about this, the anti-gravity power system that the empire has now is only a beginner, and once the anti-gravity power system is fully understood, it is also very powerful.

The nuclear fusion power system belongs to the kind of unintentional willow willows, and the controllable nuclear fusion is only used to provide energy to the warp engine on the spacecraft, and scientists think that it can also be used as conventional power to propel the spacecraft forward.

In this way, the spaceship can fly quickly in the normal void without installing an anti-gravity power system, and the design of the spaceship can not be limited to an oval flying saucer.

Sure enough, the powerful nuclear fusion power did not disappoint, it is very powerful, the powerful energy generated during nuclear fusion as a power, even large spaceships can be easily propelled, and the acceleration is even more powerful than the current anti-gravity power system.

The spacecraft continued to accelerate in the void, getting faster and faster, and soon broke through the speed of 1000 kilometers per second, and was still accelerating, 1500 kilometers per second, 2000 kilometers per second, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the tail flame at the tail of the spacecraft also became longer.

"It's perfect, in the future, our empire will have two powerful technologies in terms of conventional power: anti-gravity and nuclear fusion power systems."

Li Wanzhou nodded with satisfaction, all the data are very perfect.

"It's time to start the warp engine power, it's really exciting!"
