At 3:36 p.m., in the Acre Crater, a light that had never appeared before suddenly flashed.

I only saw the huge column of dark purple smoke rising to a height of 20,000 meters in one second, and continued to rise, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire earth!

The huge fireball, which was almost five thousand meters in diameter, tumbled and rose, turning from dark purple to orange, and at the same time, the sphere expanded dramatically, as if a natural power that had been bound for hundreds of millions of years was suddenly released!

The Moon has no atmosphere, its gravitational pull is small, and the scenario of a nuclear explosion is completely different from that of Earth.

Because its surface is a vacuum environment, there is no way to transmit the shock wave, so the killing range is much smaller, but the dust that rises into the sky instantly gains strong kinetic energy, constantly spreading outward, and some even break free from the gravitational pull of the moon and fly directly into space.

The scientists were instantly busy, the satellites began to collect data non-stop, various scientific instruments began to be mobilized, and there was even a slight tremor under the soles of their feet. However, the transmission of the tremor to the interior of the base was very weak.

From the satellite image of the Moon, we can see that the extremely powerful light radiation, which is barely hindered in a vacuum, shoots in all directions in an instant, and the extremely high temperature instantly turns the nearest dust into plasma.

The electromagnetic pulse was also radiating in all directions almost at the same time, and the entire screen was shaking.

"It's ...... The satellite was subjected to an electromagnetic pulse and was overloaded. One scientist stopped what he was doing and explained to himself. When the satellite is designed, it has the function of resisting solar wind, and it will automatically shut down when it is subjected to a large number of electromagnetic pulses to avoid damage.

"Activate the backup!"

"Send back the data collected by the lunar rover!"

This little trouble obviously didn't bother everyone, and one by one the data was collected and recorded in the archives.

Ding Yidong's eyebrows began to rise, and his face became obviously rosy.

Although the nuclear bomb exploded, it was not necessarily successful, and only after data analysis that this test met the level of 1 million yield, it could be called a real success.

"Congratulations, Professor Ding."

"Congratulations! Celebrate in advance! ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

Although the final result has not yet come out, everyone has begun to congratulate Ding Yidong in advance. These scientists are very sensitive to data, and although they have not yet been analyzed by computers, they can basically be said to be inseparable. An atmosphere of joy wafted through the air.

"Alright, comrades!" Yu Yifeng was also slightly excited, he coughed lightly, and said, "First of all, we would like to thank Professor Ding Yidong for his dedication over the years. The technologies he invented played a crucial role in this experiment, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude to him! ”

There was thunderous applause at the bottom, many people have read Ding Yidong's paper, and it is indeed very level. This is real talent, not gibberish, such a person is always worthy of respect.

"So, when you go back, analyze the data. Then consider the possibility of replacing the hydrogen bomb with a helium-3 nuclear bomb. At eight o'clock this evening, we have another meeting. ”

Although the meeting started at eight o'clock in the evening, it was relatively late, but no one complained, and everyone was used to it. In other words, everyone is very motivated in the face of new things, and they hurriedly go back to analyze the data one by one.

……

The meeting at eight o'clock started on time, and a debate on helium-3 began, not only those scientists, but also a large number of engineer representatives, which can be said to be a relatively important meeting.

The theme of the conference was twofold: first, to explore the possibility of replacing the hydrogen bomb with helium-3; Second, we will discuss Professor Ding Yidong's "Billion-Ton Nuclear Bomb Promotion Program".

"Good evening, comrades."

Yu Yifeng stood at the front of the meeting, and he was very accustomed to this kind of scene. "This afternoon's helium-3 nuclear bomb test, everyone already knows. Now let me announce the final result: our scientists have calculated and analyzed that the nuclear bomb for this test has finally been released—"

"The energy of the 1.016 million tons of TNT explosion is basically in line with expectations."

"This test was a complete success!"

The people below began to applaud enthusiastically for a long time before stopping.

"Okay, so let's move on to the first topic of today's meeting: exploring the possibility of replacing hydrogen bombs with helium-3."

"First of all, let me explain why we are doing this, because our lack of energy has caused some projects to lag behind badly."

"In more than three months, we have only produced less than 4 million tons of steel, 500,000 tons of copper, and even less non-ferrous metals such as titanium and aluminum, which seriously fell short of expectations. The main reason is also due to the lack of energy. ”

Yu Yifeng listed a series of tables on the screen, which listed the progress of various projects in the base in the past three months, including metal smelting, internal facility construction, engine unit construction, mining volume, and so on.

All of you are in charge of all walks of life, and you are familiar with your own engineering, but you are not very clear about the others. They all have an intuitive view of the numbers, to be honest, the data given by Yu Yifeng is generally much worse than expected.

The atmosphere in the venue immediately fell silent, and some of the whispers that had been there were disappeared.

This poured cold water on the hearts of many people, who had just had a party yesterday, and many of them were still immersed in that crazy ambition. After returning to reality, the cold data gave them a slap in the face.

Only 56% of the projects met the standard, and 44% of the projects lagged behind! This progress is much worse than they expected. Most of you know the truth that the moon is about to be destroyed, and no matter how good or bad the progress is, human beings must leave the moon!

Leaving before the project is completed can be imagined.

Those lagging project leaders lowered their heads in shame, and felt a little aggrieved in their hearts. They've really done it all.

"I'm here to say that it's not a human problem, it's an energy problem." Yu Yifeng said in time: "Our previous calculations are still too optimistic, there are some deviations, no matter how much you save, the energy is still not enough!" ”

"So I'm here to give a solution...... That is - cut the hydrogen bomb program and replace it with a more energy-efficient helium-3 nuclear bomb, freeing up energy for production! He also gave some data, the hydrogen bomb program will consume about 30% of the energy of the entire base, if all this part is saved......

It sounded like a good plan, and the people below started talking about it.

However, to let them overturn the original plan and change to a new one at once, in fact, many people are not very acceptable, or it takes time to digest. Human beings are not very flexible creatures, and even if the new solution is better and better, people will still feel awkward or risky for a while.

"Mr. Yu Yifeng, is the helium-3 nuclear bomb you said reliable? We've only tried this weapon once! One of the engineers asked.

"Your concerns are right. This question should be explained by Professor Ding Yidong. Yu Yifeng said.

Ding Yidong came to the stage, took out the speech that had been prepared, and started to speak with the slides. He has been preparing for a long time, trying to transform the esoteric content into something that everyone can understand.

The main content highlights two points: first, he has been studying for more than ten years, and the core content has been explored very thoroughly, and second, mainstream scientists agree with his plan.

No matter how you explain the technology, it is better to assert your authority. There is a specialization in the art industry, and most people can't understand it anyway, so it's better to say directly "I am the authority, you must believe me!" ”

His approach seems to be good, and many people's emotions are beginning to stabilize and seem to be somewhat acceptable. Looking at the mainstream scientific authorities, they are also more accepting of this plan.

Immediately, Ding Yidong led to the final topic - "One Billion Tons of Helium-3 Nuclear Bomb Propulsion Plan"!

"I'm here to give a new plan, it's better to build a billion-ton helium-3 nuclear bomb and bomb the spacecraft in one fell swoop. Time-saving, labor-saving, efficient and fast! ”

Now, it's like a bombshell dropped into the crowd!
