"If the energy generated by this tritium substance can really repair the Vientiane Spirit Ball, Donald, do you have a way to extract this substance in large quantities?"

"Tritium is a substance that was used to make nuclear bombs, and I believe you should understand the power of that thing, but it needs an atomic bomb as a detonator! Of course, tritium is now mainly used in nuclear fusion reactors. If it is to be manufactured artificially, it must also be made through a nuclear reactor, and the main way to produce tritium in the world today is the tritium reactor, which is a nuclear reactor specifically used to produce tritium. When fusion reactors were not really developed, the countries in the world that had the ability to produce tritium produced a total of no more than 500 kilograms of tritium in the past three or four decades. Even if controlled nuclear fusion technology is truly successful and relatively mature, the annual public production of tritium in the world is only about 200 kilograms. The Yuanwang-1, launched in 2045, has only 50 kilograms of tritium fuel for the high-thrust nuclear fusion engine on it, which is enough for the instruments of various scientific experiments on it to run at full load, plus the thrusters have been propelled at full load for 12 years. Tang Jingnian couldn't cry or laugh, "How capable do you think I am?" Is this kind of strategic resource also something that I can extract if I say it? ”

Wei Lingdong frowned slightly, and after being silent for a few seconds, he asked, "What if I apply to the top?" ”

"You can try this, after all, your identity is here, and it's an extraordinary time." Tang Jingnian nodded, "According to my rough estimate, the tritium you absorbed in the ten minutes just now is at most one thousandth of a gram, or even a few ten-thousandths of a gram." However, if the fusion reaction takes place completely, even the slightest bit of energy they produce is incredible. ”

"Donald... How many can there be? Han Fanzhong, a general, couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and interjected and asked.

Tang Jingnian glanced at him, "The energy consumption of our ordinary people's bodies in a day is about 5,000 kilojoules. One gram of tritium, if the fusion reaction completely occurs, the energy produced is about 6 billion kilojoules, that is, it is about equal to the energy consumption of 1.2 million people in a day. Tang Jingnian paused, looked at Han Fanzhong's slightly open mouth, returned his gaze to Wei Lingdong, and then added,

"Of course, that's ideal. In fact, in the fusion reaction, another isotope of hydrogen, deuterium, is also needed. Like tritium, this element is also widespread in seawater, and unlike tritium, deuterium is not radioactive and cannot be detected by the ship's detectors, so we can't know if you have absorbed deuterium at the same time. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Jingnian's brows furrowed tightly, "Deuterium and tritium will produce a fusion reaction under certain conditions, releasing terrifying energy, of course, this condition is very harsh, usually requires the fission reaction of the atomic bomb to be detonated, and the ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure produced by it can further cause the fusion reaction." Of course, there are also ways in which fusion reactions can be generated, such as high-temperature plasma currents, which are the way ignition is done on fusion engines. Lingdong, you said that you can't feel the specific existence of this substance now, can you tell us how you felt when you absorbed the energy? ”

"How do you feel?" Wei Lingdong thought for a moment and recalled the feeling, "They were like a very small fast-crawling ant, burrowing into my body in swarms, and my hairs stood up at that time. ”

"This is supposed to be the result of a large number of electrons acting on the surface of the skin when the β decays." Tang Jingnian explained, "You said before that they converged into the heart position and the Vientiane Spirit Ball. Is there anything special in your heart right now? ”

"No," Wei Lingdong shook his head, "I can clearly feel their presence when they enter the pores and reach the heart, but after reaching the heart, the feeling of this foreign body entering the body disappears, and I can no longer feel them except for feeling the energy in my body increase." ”

"Hmm..." Tang Jingnian pursed his lips, thought for about ten seconds, raised his head and said to the camera, "Now I can't learn more about your situation, I can only wait for you to come back." However, one thing I need to remind you is that you need to be careful of the opponent's ultra-high-energy laser weapons, as the tritium you absorb may react unexpectedly. At this point, he shook his head again, "Of course, this is very unlikely. Even if you are shot by an ultra-high-energy laser, it is estimated that before a nuclear reaction occurs, your body will not be able to bear it first. Before he could finish speaking, he overthrew himself again, "But you ghost body, who said it well, I haven't even understood it yet." Besides, you still have that bead! He finished and brushed his gray hair.

Wei Lingdong looked at Tang Jingnian, who was in a state of entanglement in his own words, and was speechless for a while.

"Donald, it's late, I won't bother you." He hung up the encrypted video slightly apologetically, turned to Han Fanzhong and said, "I'll go back to the room first, and I'll contact you if I have something." ”

"Okay." Han Fanzhong nodded and knocked lightly on the hatch.

The guard opened the door, led Wei Lingdong into the lounge, and helped him close the door.

Lying on the bed, Wei Lingdong tried to enter the cultivation state again, but his body still did not notice any discomfort, and the energy of the Ten Thousand Spirits body flowed freely in his body, which was very smooth and natural.

"According to Donald's analysis just now, if the spirit body is really absorbing substances such as deuterium and tritium that are nuclear fusion reactions, then this should be a breakthrough in the repair of the Vientiane spirit ball. It is also a new opportunity for the evolution and awakening of my ten thousand spirits. However, the biggest problem now is how to talk to the above, which is, after all, a nuclear strategic resource. ”

He channeled the energy to flow through his body, thinking about how to get this new energy that he had accidentally discovered that was extremely useful to him.

After thinking about it, he didn't come up with a good reason. In case his strength is excessively improved, he is not sure whether it will cause other worries above. In the end, he could only focus on solving the troubles of this trip to Okinawa first.

After another ten hours of sailing, at one o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the fleet was gradually approaching the Okinawa base, and Wei Lingdong, who was deep in thought, received a reminder from the fleet's communicator. He retracted his thoughts, opened the hatch, and walked through the long aisle of hatch after hatch and onto the deck.

The sun was shining, and in the distance in the direction of the bow of the ship, a faint gray shadow appeared on the horizon, which looked slightly distorted under the waves, but it could basically be judged that it was an island.

"That's the Okinawa base." Behind Wei Lingdong, Han Fanzhong's deep voice came.

"It's finally here." Wei Lingdong snorted, looked up at the sky, and the blue sky had become a piece of crystal, as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at the huge fleet, staring at himself the size of an ant on the deck of the first aircraft carrier.
