For the Galaxy Foundation, which has atomic-level processing capabilities, it is very simple to replicate the results of the team at the University of Vienna, provided that the other party does not falsify.

Although the Ion Engine Research Institute and the Materials Research Institute were very surprised by Huang Haojie's sudden assignment, the big boss's matter was the first priority, and they hurriedly summoned elite soldiers to tackle key topics.

Keelung City, Ion Engine Research Institute.

"Chief Engineer Mishima, take a look at this." Zhou Botong passed a document to Mishima Ji.

Mishima Ji hurriedly opened the holographic bracelet, but the four words on it were top secret, he was shocked by the fact that he had been in the ion engine research institute for more than half a year, and the most he came into contact with was classified at most.

"Don't worry, since I show you, I trust you, but remember to keep it a secret when I see it." Zhou Botong patted Mishima Ji on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you very much." This sense of trust touched Mishima very much, and he hurriedly opened the file and looked through it carefully.

However, he was a little dumbfounded when he saw it: "But, controllable, nuclear fusion!" ”

The more I looked at him, the more I trembled, it was a feeling of awe, worship, and excitement.

Mishima said excitedly: "Chairman San, he wants us to develop an ion engine or a photonic engine on the basis of a small nuclear fusion reactor. ”

"Exactly, Mishima, do you think we can develop an ion engine that meets expectations?" Zhou Botong asked.

"No problem, now the hardest part has been done, and if we can't develop a large ion engine, then we won't be qualified to stay here." Mishima Ji hurriedly said.

"In that case, let's start preparing!"

"When will that fusion reactor arrive?"

"I'll transport it in the afternoon."

"Then I'll call the researchers."

Zhou Botong went to arrange the laboratory and prepare to receive three small nuclear fusion reactors, while Mishima Ji mobilized the elite of the ion engine research institute to prepare for related work.

Two o'clock in the afternoon has not yet arrived.

In Keelung City in March, it is still a little cold at this time, but the afternoon sun makes people feel very comfortable.

At the gate of the Ion Engine Research Institute, Zhou Botong and Mishima Ji six or seven people were looking forward to it.

Suddenly, a container truck and a sports car with a surging face appeared around the corner of the road.

"Dawn 2015?" Zhou Botong was stunned when he saw this car, and then immediately reacted: "Pay attention, it may be that the chairman is here." ”

The others were also stunned, and then became a little restrained.

The surging dawn slowly stopped in front of several people, Huang Haojie's figure stepped down from the car, the door closed automatically, and Zhong drove the surging dawn to the underground garage.

"Chairman, it's a great honor to meet you, I'm Zhou Botong, director of the Ion Engine Research Institute."

Huang Haojie and a few people said a few words, and then went to the research institute, this time he came over is still his stand-in robot, the temperature difference power generation is now the material of the Institute of Materials has not come out, he simply came to the ion engine research institute to see.

Zhou Botong took Huang Haojie to a laboratory that had been cleaned up in advance, judging from the configuration inside, it was a large ion engine laboratory before.

Three fusion reactors and 10 kilograms of DD nuclear fuel have been unloaded from the container and have been placed in the laboratory.

Mishima Ji's hands trembled excitedly, stroking the three nuclear fusion reactors like a pervert.

"Ahem!" Zhou Botong pretended to cough.

"Eh......" Mishima Ji reacted at this time, and quickly apologized: "I'm very sorry, I'm out of shape." ”

Huang Haojie diverted the topic: "Have you read the documents I sent before?"

"Look, Huang Sang, we have a preliminary understanding, but if we can start a nuclear fusion reaction here, I believe it can give us a more intuitive understanding." Mishima Ji said hurriedly.

"Then test it." Huang Haojie nodded and agreed to their test.

The reaction in a small fusion reactor is a fool's errand, one serving of fuel is filled with 100 milligrams of nuclear fuel, and then a power supply and a special data cable are connected.

A temporary liquid nitrogen chiller is also in place to prevent overheating.

All set up laboratory processes, wore protective suits behind thick glass windows, and controlled the fusion reactor via data cables.

Drip! 100 mg of DD nuclear fuel is injected into a condensed matter vacuum chamber, and then neutrons are compressed and fusion is released.

The reaction process of fusion energy release takes about 30 minutes to complete.

Looking at the real-time monitoring data in the laboratory, Mishima became excited: "Sure enough, there is no neutron irradiation and high-energy rays, only heat energy and light radiation. ”

During these 30 minutes, the Ion Engine Research Institute conducted a comprehensive test of the small nuclear fusion reactor, during which the reaction was aborted three times.

"Huang Sang, the thermal efficiency of this small nuclear fusion reactor is somewhat low." Mishima Ji said with some embarrassment.

"I know, it's probably only about 28 percent, and that's a sacrifice for miniaturization, but I've come up with a solution." Huang Haojie was not angry.

Mishima Ji scratched his head and said, "Solution? If you want to reuse the wasted heat energy, in addition to steam turbine power generation and photovoltaic power generation, there is also a solution for thermoelectric power generation, considering the need for miniaturization, only thermoelectric power generation is most suitable, but the current thermal differential power generation efficiency is not high. ”

It seems that this Mishima season still understands this aspect quite well, but Huang Haojie does not intend to explain.

"Mishima, let's talk about the ion engine now." Zhou Botong reminded.

"I'm sorry, I'm curious." Mishima also knew that he had crossed the line just now.

"If xenon is directly heated through the heat energy and light radiation of nuclear fusion, it is very easy to ionize xenon atoms to form plasma with the heat energy and light radiation of nuclear fusion." Zhou Botong said.

Huang Haojie shook his head: "You have overlooked a problem, xenon is indeed very easy to ionize, but it is a noble gas, if we develop a large ion engine, xenon is not suitable as an ionization working fluid." ”

"Huang Sang is right, the cost of xenon is too high, not suitable for large-scale use, but there is already a nuclear fusion reactor, ionization working fluid can choose nitrogen, under the premise of nuclear fusion, nitrogen xenon has the same effect." Mishima also said.

"You can buy a batch of metallic nitrogen from Neutron Star Materials, and the storage conditions of metallic nitrogen do not need to be so harsh." Huang Haojie reminded.

"Leave the matter of purchasing submetallic nitrogen to me!" Zhou Botong hurriedly took over the matter.

Huang Haojie and Mishima Ji and others discussed while refining all aspects of the ion engine.

Three days later, they made the first ion engine, although it was very rudimentary, but the prototype was for testing, ugly and ugly, and it could be used.

The branch of Neutron Star Materials in Dongdao has already sent 300 kilograms of submetallic nitrogen over yesterday.

Because it was modified from a small fusion reactor, the ion engine was about the size and shape of a gasoline drum.

Mishima personally installed the nitrogen storage tank on the head of the ion engine, and after a while of debugging, they were ready for the experiment.

Huang Haojie has been on the side of the Ion Engine Research Institute and the Keelung Secret Research Institute for the past few days, and of course he can't miss this important experiment.

After the workers started the nuclear fusion reactor, the superconducting magnetofluid generator also began to generate electricity.

At the same time, the submetallic nitrogen in the nitrogen storage tank is quickly released from solid, and the nitrogen is wrapped in the nuclear fusion reactor that is glowing and heating.

The instantaneous high temperature mercilessly ionized the nitrogen atoms to form a stream of plasma, which then erupted towards the nozzle of the ion engine.

Hiss......

The plasma and the air interacted with each other, making some slight sounds, and a dark blue plasma tail flame appeared in the tail vent of the ion engine.

Huang Haojie looked at the real-time monitoring data and found that the power generation of the magnetofluid generator was not greatly affected, and the even stranger thing was that the thrust of the plasma was about 34% higher than they expected.
