[Chapter 590: Energy Source Problem]
……
Ren Hong returned to the ground from the tunnel with a cable car box, and when he returned to the ground, the outpost base had already entered the evening, and this carriage was full of the first batch of high-energy storage crystals mined and transported, a total of 750 dark purple crystals, each crystal of equal and congruent quality, which can be said to be carved out of a mold. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The total mass of 750 crystals is only 150 kilograms, which is about the weight of two adults.
However, the entire 750 pieces of amethy source crystals, according to the energy storage peak calculation of a single block equivalent to 185 trillion joules of energy, these 150 kilograms of crystal ore can store nearly 140,000 trillion joules of high-purity energy.
This is an incomparably appalling statistic.
The first batch of crystal ore was transported out of the tunnel, and the people on the scene immediately became excited, the people who could come here were all the best elites of the republic, and the matter of the purple source crystal was naturally known, and as an astronaut, they knew better what these purple diamonds meant.
"Let's settle it properly!" Ren Hong took a long breath and said with a smile.
After looking at the time, it was already evening, but he didn't know that the time had passed so quickly.
A staff member successively carried over fifteen exquisite mobile storage boxes, three or five people immediately began to greet them, Ren Hong did not stop, the storage boxes were made very exquisitely, and they were also made of the top materials, and there was an independent computer inside.
Ren Hong enters a series of instructions on the 7-inch display panel on the side, and the storage box can be opened at any time, and the interior is like a dense honeycomb mouth, all of which are hollow, and each hole is a regular hexagon.
Several other participants each carried a storage box and pulled out a section of hollow cylindrical tube with six edges, no more than 35 cm long, like a translucent glass ****, and the hollow cross-section just coincided with the mined amethy crystal, which was obviously strictly calculated.
Three or five people immediately got busy and put a piece of crystal into the hollow tube, each section of the hollow cylindrical tube can be embedded with 5 pieces of amethy source crystal, a section of hollow cylinder can be loaded with 1 kg of purple source crystal, and a total of 25 hollow tubes can be loaded in a storage box, that is, it can load about 25 kg of crystal ore.
The first batch of 150 kilograms of amethyst from the tunnel could be loaded in just six storage bins.
Ren Hong filled a box alone, carried it aside, and stopped after finishing all this.
The 150 kilograms of crystal ore are almost loaded. At that time, these storage boxes will be transported to several large containers, transported to the "Red Eagle" transport ship by the Mars rover and sent into Mars orbit, and then transported back to Earth by the "Mars Express", and then completed the transfer and handover at the "Tiangong Orbital Starport", and finally transported back to the earth's surface by the aerospace transport aircraft "Arc Eagle".
A complete set of transportation systems is very complete.
Ren Hong estimated that the second batch should be delivered in about twenty minutes.
"At this mining rate, a set of cutting machines can handle 1 ton in a day, and the first batch is expected to transport 500 ......tons," Ren Hong thought in his heart.
The one-tonne collection efficiency on this day is indeed a bit low, nearly half the estimated mining efficiency, and the expectation that the first batch of crystal ore to be shipped back to Earth will reach 500 tons means that it will take 500 days, plus some other additional transactions, it has already exceeded 500 days.
Unless you're making a few sets of cutters!
This thought appeared in Ren Hong's mind for a moment and was denied.
Are you kidding? The cost of a set of equipment of more than 700 billion (RMB) for the mobile cutter, even if the matrix technology is unbearable, and it is not an emergency moment, and no one comes to grab it.
Thinking that this is the purple source crystal, which is enough to pry into a new era and lay the cornerstone of space hegemony, the output of one ton a day is not bad, after all, it is not iron ore, coal mine or rare earth ore, this is purple source crystal mine.
"Professor Wang, it's not too early, you haven't eaten yet, people are iron and steel, don't be tired." Li Xingfeng on the side said with a smile.
Saying this, Ren Hong was really a little hungry, and immediately thought of the people in the tunnel: "And Mingjie, find someone to take over his shift, I'm not the only one who is hungry." ”
"Leave it to us, don't worry."
Ren Hong nodded, and after a chill, he returned to the outpost base, and took off a protective suit, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
Ren Hong, who was enjoying dinner, was stumped by another thing that suddenly came to mind.
The quarried amethys are all dark purple, and the proportion of high-purity energy stored in the interior is less than 3%.
After being transported back to Earth, as a national strategic reserve material, it is stored in the highest top secret, and it will be too much of a loss if it is placed in the warehouse like this.
Before the crystals are stored in storage, each piece must be in a full state of energy storage, otherwise the strategic significance will be greatly weakened?
What makes Ren Hong difficult is where to get so much high-purity energy, if you use electricity to ingest amethy crystals, just this 150 kilograms of crystal ore, all the power stations in the world, any form of power stations all the energy intake of these crystals, a year seems to be stretched.
Or at present, two-thirds of the country's energy production capacity is all transferred to the 750 crystals for storage, and the continuous energy supply and savings may not be able to be done in two or three years.
Can 750 crystals eat the equivalent of nearly 140,000 trillion joules of energy, and how much electricity is equivalent to when converted into electricity? And how much electricity is generated annually in the world?
There is one thing that must be faced, and Ren Hong knows it very well.
That is, before the amethy source crystals transported back to the earth are sealed in the national strategic reserve material warehouse, each piece must be purple and shiny, not dark purple, otherwise it is a pile of waste batteries.
If there are thousands of tons or even tens of thousands of tons of crystal ore in the strategic reserve with full energy storage, the significance is incalculable.
You must know that with the historic progress of the "Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons", the global nuclear weapons have been stored and mothballed, but the warheads of missiles have been replaced with strategic and tactical EMP warheads on a large scale.
If a strategic-level EMP electromagnetic pulse bomb is detonated in a super metropolis or even an industrial cluster area, the area affected by the electromagnetic pulse light curtain will paralyze all power and energy facilities, and for today's modernization, energy paralysis is an absolute nightmare, which means that the "blood circulation" is terminated, almost nothing can be used, and all production work will be completely stopped.
If a megacity is paralyzed from all power and energy facilities, then the city will also be paralyzed and will not be able to function at all.
As far as a state of war is concerned, paralyzing your energy facilities is tantamount to completely losing your advanced military equipment, electronic warfare, and information warfare, which is tantamount to being broken in the legs, which is extremely uncomfortable and passive, and logistics supply and rear-loading support will also be seriously frustrated.
In the future, after a large number of important towns and industrial clusters are hit by EMP, and strategic facilities such as power and energy are destroyed, if at this juncture, there is suddenly a full energy storage of Amethysine from the strategic reserve to mobilize for emergency, even if all the energy equipment is paralyzed, it is not afraid at all.
The opponent sabotages your energy facility in an attempt to get you to break a leg.
However, the amethyst with full energy storage can cope with all energy consumption, especially in this situation, and the role it plays is even more self-evident.
The importance of factors such as military significance and strategic significance can be imagined.
Ren Hong said firmly: "Before each piece of amethyspar is put into storage, it must be in a full state of energy storage. Otherwise, it's a bunch of useless waste batteries. ”
