"Boss, how's the mecha research?" Liu Qingquan had just left the research institute of Chang'an Space City, and Jiang Zhipeng, the person in charge of Chang'an Space City, had already come over.

"It's been made, but now it's useless, and you can only work as a porter in space!" Liu Qingquan shook his head, he was very dissatisfied with the fate of the "Kuafu" mecha that could only be used as a porter for the time being, but now it seems that it can only be used for transportation.

"Haha, just now Mo Qingming bragged to me about the power of the mecha, I thought it could be so powerful, it turned out to be just a porter's life!" Hearing this, Jiang Zhipeng couldn't help laughing.

"There is no doubt about the strength of the mecha, he didn't brag about this, it's just that for the time being, our technology is not up to par, and there are really not many places where it can be used at present, but it's a pity that it has a good figure!" Hearing this, Liu Qingquan also said with a smile.

"Don't talk about this, boss, I came to you today because I need to discuss something with you!" Jiang Zhipeng put away the hippie smile just now and took out the state of work.

"Tell me about it!"

"It's such a boss, with the increasing expansion of Chang'an City and the start of the second phase of the large-scale space factory, our energy is becoming more and more tight, and many times we need to rely on the ground to replenish energy, which has begun to affect our space progress, so I want to apply to you for a new energy project!"

Jiang Zhipeng said the main purpose of looking for Liu Qingquan today, that is, the energy of Chang'an Space City is not enough, Boss Liu, you hurry up and think of a way.

"Isn't there two nuclear fusion power centers in Chang'an Space City? It stands to reason that there should be no worries about energy! Liu Qingquan asked suspiciously, when Chang'an City was designed, a nuclear fusion power was designed on both sides of Chang'an City, which can provide energy and drive Chang'an City to move in space!

"Boss, the power of nuclear fusion is very strong, but at present, we mainly use electricity, nuclear fusion must first be converted into electrical energy before it can be used in other places, and it cannot be directly used to propel the flight of spacecraft like nuclear fusion engines, which will produce a lot of loss when converted into electrical energy, and the efficiency is not too high."

"In addition, our power generation technology still stays and relies on cutting magnetic fields to generate electricity, so even if we have a powerful nuclear fusion technology, but we are still limited by power generation technology, energy is very tight, I estimate that if the space city continues to develop, our electricity will really not be enough!"

Jiang Zhipeng said the cause and effect, and Liu Qingquan suddenly realized this time that nuclear fusion is a bull fork, and it is very powerful to use it to propel the spacecraft, but when it is converted into electrical energy, the loss is very large, and the conversion efficiency is very low.

First of all, the heat energy generated by nuclear fusion pushes the machinery to be converted into mechanical energy, and then the mechanical cutting of the magnetic field is converted into electrical energy, and the loss of this can be imagined, and as Jiang Zhipeng said, there is no essential difference between the current technology of producing electricity by cutting the magnetic field and more than 100 years ago, and the power generation technology is very backward.

"How much electricity can Chang'an Space City produce in a year? How much electricity do you need to use? Liu Qingquan thought about it, there are many advanced power generation technologies in his mind, but the goals are not very suitable, and there is an insurmountable gap in technology, so it is better to ask about the situation first.

"Our annual electricity consumption is about 150 billion billion hours, but we can only barely meet at present, and we have to rely on the ground to transmit some energy, and in the future, our second phase of the space factory will start construction, the Mars exploration spacecraft will start construction, and then the energy will be very tight! It can even be said that there is no way to carry out the next step of the plan, especially the second phase of the space factory, which can compare the electricity consumption of this one factory to the present. ”

Jiang Zhipeng is very familiar with everything in Chang'an City, and at the same time said his inner worries, this energy is really not enough!

You must know that space is not the ground, everything needs electricity to maintain operation, and it consumes a huge amount of energy all the time, especially the system that maintains the production environment, the space laboratory, and the space factory, which are three large power consumers!

The annual electricity consumption of 150 billion hours of Chang'an Space City is very close to the annual electricity consumption of Shanghai, but how big Shanghai is, Chang'an Space City is insignificant compared to Shanghai.

However, in terms of electricity consumption, Chang'an Space City will not be much less than Shanghai, which naturally includes Shanghai's industrial electricity, which shows how terrifying the power consumption of Chang'an Space City is, and everything depends on electricity to maintain operation.

The ups and downs of the space shuttle, the various laboratories that consume a lot of electricity, the huge and tight livelihood system, and the space factory that consumes the most electricity, all of them are electricity-swallowing monsters, and if it weren't for the nuclear fusion power of Qingquan Technology to generate electricity, it would not be able to operate at all.

However, even if two nuclear fusion power units are installed to generate electricity, they have begun to be unable to meet the daily electricity demand, especially the soon-to-be-built, more massive Phase II space factory, which is comparable to the current Chang'an City. There is also a Mars exploration spacecraft that will start construction at the same time, which is also a big guy, and the power consumption is also very huge.

All of a sudden, the problem of energy was placed on Jiang Zhipeng, so that Jiang Zhipeng had to try his best to meet the needs of the development of the space city.

You have to know why only Qingquan Technology in the world can build such a large space city, and other big hooligans can only play with small things like the space station, although compared to the previous space station, the current space station is somewhat of a small castle.

On the one hand, it is restricted by the fact that the major hooligans do not have convenient, economical, and large-scale transportation to and from space, and on the other hand, they are also limited by energy, and the space station energy of the major hooligans is also very tight, and they do not have such advanced technology as Qingquan Technology.

"What are you going to do to solve this problem?" Liu Qingquan frowned, he couldn't think of any good way to solve this energy problem for a while, and he didn't know what good ideas Jiang Zhipeng and others would have.

"Boss, our method is actually very simple, and it doesn't require any skills, you can guess!" Jiang Zhipeng smiled slightly, there are not many things that can make Liu Qingquan unexpected!

"It's simple, and you don't need any technology? I really can't think of it, can you prompt me? Liu Qingquan thought for a while and shook his head helplessly.

"Boss, look outside, the core of the entire solar system, think about that huge fireball again!"
