In the outer space of the moon, huge space buildings are quietly suspended in the void.

With the rise of lunar mining industry and lunar tourism, the moon has long become lively, and the earth has gradually become congested with the outer space of the earth, and more and more people have begun to look at the moon and begin to seize the outer space on this side of the moon.

In the void, a spaceship coming from the direction of the Earth is rapidly heading towards the moon, and the spaceship is branded with the logo of Galaxy Technology Group.

Inside the spaceship, Qin Yi looked at the scenery outside the window, the moon has also undergone great changes, the original barren surface of the moon, the huge lunar mining bases are brightly lit, and large lunar mining vehicles and transport vehicles are like busy ants, and from time to time you can see anti-gravity spaceships rising and falling from the moon.

The anti-gravity spacecraft that Qin Yi was riding did not dock at the space port on this side of the moon, but flew directly to the moon and flew to the lunar storm ocean area.

Storm Ocean is the largest lunar sea on the moon, extremely rich in resources, and the terrain is also very open and flat.

Qin Yi's spaceship slowly landed in a base in the Storm Ocean region, which is different from the large and small mining bases on the moon, it is not a base for mining, but a scientific research base for researching controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Of course, the brand hung up externally is the Moon Mineral Resources Research Base of Galaxy Mining Group, which is not used to research controllable nuclear fusion technology.

The reason why we want to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep is naturally to avoid attracting attention, this controllable nuclear fusion technology, in the final analysis, it is still nuclear technology, nuclear technology has always been forbidden to civilian research, and even on the earth, countries without strength are not allowed to study nuclear technology.

Qin Yi wants to study nuclear fusion technology, if it is placed on the earth, it is definitely inappropriate, because there are too many eyes to pay attention to, so he also chose the moon, and spent a huge price to build a huge controllable nuclear fusion research institute on the moon.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology must be studied, and the spacecraft is getting bigger and bigger, and the capacity required is also increasing, and relying on the atomic matrix battery alone is becoming more and more difficult to satisfy the huge appetite of the spacecraft.

In particular, Qin Yi will study a dragon-class spaceship that is larger and more powerful than the Qinglong-class spaceship, which has a huge thrust and can be used to mine asteroids of 1 billion tons or even 10 billion tons.

With such a powerful thrust, the energy it needs is no longer able to drive it using the traditional atomic matrix battery, even though the atomic matrix battery technology is becoming more and more advanced and the energy it can carry is also increasing, but it is still far from being able to drive a dragon-class spaceship.

The dragon-class spaceship, which will be used to sail the starry universe in the future, can also be transformed into a space warship, used to travel in the sea of stars, relying on batteries, even if it can be driven, there is definitely no way to provide a steady stream of power for a long time.

At present, only nuclear fusion can produce enough powerful energy, and controllable nuclear fusion releases a large amount of energy, does not produce nuclear radiation, and has no nuclear waste, and the raw materials required are very large in nature, which is definitely the most needed energy technology in the interstellar navigation era.

A long time ago, Qin Yi wanted to study controlled nuclear fusion technology, but due to conditions and various limitations, he never did so.

Since the rise of the lunar mining industry, Qin Yi has secretly built this huge controlled nuclear fusion research institute on the moon to study controlled nuclear fusion technology.

The base is backed by a tall mountain range, built against the mountain, and from the outside it doesn't look like any other lunar mining base, and it's not big or inconspicuous.

But when Qin Yi entered this base, he realized that there was a hole in it, and he had almost hollowed out the entire huge mountain range, and built a huge controllable nuclear fusion research base underground and inside the mountain.

"Qingwei, this matter is well done."

Walking into the unique Institute of Controlled Nuclear Fusion, a huge team of scientists is very busy, with all kinds of advanced research equipment, life, entertainment and other facilities are also very complete.

Qin Yi also praised Lu Qingwei beside him, Lu Qingwei is the head of Galaxy Mining Group, and the builder of this controllable nuclear fusion laboratory, and he is the person in charge here.

He often runs to the moon when he has nothing to do, not really for the affairs of the Moon Mining Group, but more for the affairs of this controlled nuclear fusion research base.

"The boss has won the award, this controllable nuclear fusion technology is something we must study, without this technology, even if we can build the engine of a dragon-class spaceship, we don't have enough energy to drive it, and there will be no way to conquer the sea of stars and open the era of interstellar navigation in the future."

"It's just that the earth has not allowed us to engage in reliable nuclear fusion research, and we can only go to the moon, and in the future, after the transformation of Mars is completed, we will finally build Mars into our private territory, and relocate the controlled nuclear fusion research institute to Mars, so that we can be above board and rest assured to study all kinds of technologies."

Lu Qingwei smiled and said, while taking Qin Yi to visit this huge base, he also gave a detailed introduction.

"This is the helium-3 refining plant area, the helium-3 refining is extremely complex and troublesome, we first have to heat the soil on the moon to a high temperature of more than 700 degrees, and then use a complex process to extract helium-3 from it."

"Thankfully, there are a lot of helium-3 reserves on the moon, so we don't have to worry about raw materials."

"Here's our ignition, and the ignition technology is the same as Uncle Sam's national ignition, but our ignition is even more advanced than theirs."

"Using the characteristics of lasers, we have fused many laser beams into a single point, and when the powerful lasers are gathered into one point, it is enough to produce hundreds of millions of tons of high temperatures, with a pressure of more than 100 billion atmospheres, and then trigger a nuclear fusion reaction."

"Just to build this ignition device, we spent 500 billion Chinese dollars."

Lu Qingwei took Qin Yi to a special place, where there were laser emitters, all of which were aimed at a sphere-like device, and there was an extremely small dot on the device, which was the point that scientists had conceived for nuclear fusion ignition.

Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two completely different nuclear reactions, nuclear fission is the process of changing from heavy atomic nuclei to light atomic nuclei, this process will release a huge amount of energy, such as the energy released by the atomic bomb explosion is very powerful.

Nuclear fusion, also known as nuclear fusion, refers to the polymerization of atomic nuclei by atoms with small masses, such as deuterium and tritium, under certain conditions (such as ultra-high temperature and high pressure), and this process will also release a very huge amount of energy, which is more huge and terrible than the energy released by nuclear fission.

The sun I see every day is constantly undergoing nuclear fusion reactions on it, and the energy released will light up the earth and bring warmth to the earth even if it is extremely insignificant, and then there will be life.

Now mankind has mastered nuclear fission technology, can make atomic bombs, and can also use nuclear fission technology to generate electricity, realizing the application of controllable nuclear fission technology.

Compared with nuclear fission technology, in terms of nuclear fusion technology, human science and technology are only generally mastered, and at present, nuclear fusion can only be achieved, but there is no way to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

One of the most important points is that because the conditions required for nuclear fusion are extremely harsh, in order to fuse hydrogen atoms together, it needs very high temperatures or very high pressures.

Nuclear fusion requires temperatures of up to hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius and pressures of more than 100 billion standard atmospheres.

Such high temperatures and pressures are very difficult to achieve on Earth, and the explosion of the hydrogen bomb needs to rely on the terrifying high temperature generated by the nuclear fission of the atomic bomb as the detonation.

Therefore, the realization of controlled nuclear fusion has never been successful, because it is a very difficult subject to ignite and trigger a nuclear fusion reaction alone, and it is impossible to say that controlled nuclear fusion can be ignited with an atomic bomb.

Of course, there are always more ways than difficulties, and the wisdom of scientists is endless.

Scientists have come up with the method of using laser ignition, which can carry a huge amount of energy, and a large number of laser beams are concentrated on a single point, just like the aggregation of sunlight to a point, as long as the aggregated beam is enough and the energy carried is large enough, it can also produce extremely terrifying high temperatures, so as to ignite to achieve nuclear fusion reactions.

Uncle Sam's national ignition device is the one used to research controlled nuclear fusion technology, and in 2000, Uncle Sam spent £2.4 billion to build this ignition device alone.

The ignition device unfolding in front of Qin Yi's eyes is also very powerful, and when many laser beams are gathered together, it can also produce an extremely terrifying high temperature, which is enough to promote the production of nuclear fusion reactions.

Of course, it is still far from being able to ignite and nuclear fusion reactions, and there is still a long way to go before controlled nuclear fusion can occur.

Because nuclear fusion not only requires extremely high temperature or pressure, nuclear fusion will also produce terrible high temperatures, release huge amounts of energy, at present, there is no technology to control the terrifying high temperature produced during nuclear fusion, which is the most difficult point to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.
