Half a month later, in June 2022, after continuous construction, the construction of a large-scale mineral processing plant in the Iba Valley was finally completed, and a large-scale helium-3 refinery plant is in full swing 30 kilometers north of the lunar base, near Jinghai.

Covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters, more than 10,000 tons of moon dust under the moon sea are transported by 50 mining vehicles every day, and then electricity is consumed through complex refining steps to obtain high-purity helium3.

If there is a fusion power plant, this high-purity helium-3 will be reduced to helium through fusion, and an infinite amount of energy will be released in the process, and finally it will be turned into electrical energy and exported to various places in reverse.

Because no one wants to stay in a factory for a long time, the factory uses unmanned management like a large mineral processing plant, but provides a temporary dormitory for 100 people, and the rest is managed by Nana, as well as monitors and robots that are active in the factory to ensure normal production activities.

Even if it is necessary to relocate surplus labor in the future when manpower becomes more abundant, it is enough to employ five trained employees in a large factory like this to ensure all production activities.

In this way, everything is ready, and for Cao Chuan, there is still one fusion energy technology left, especially the stable fusion energy reactor technology.

"Anyway, in my opinion, stable fusion energy reactors and advanced artificial intelligence, alien geology are a level of technology, and it takes 3 days, or even 10 days, and there will be a conclusion."

He thought, and the rules simulation began... Time is speeding up in countless environments, and the microscopic world is filled with a large number of atoms, which first produce high temperatures, high pressures close to the initial environment of the Big Bang through fission, thus contributing to the basic conditions for fusion - high temperatures of more than 15 million degrees Celsius, which are enough to destroy the atomic structure and disintegrate into protons, electrons, and neutrons.

This is just the situation at the beginning of the application of fusion energy technology, and it is through this technology that human beings have created a more terrible ** than fission technology, so as to grasp the key to destroying the world and maintain the situation of the five major hooligans in the world today to check and balance each other.

In more environments, there are already huge "metal furnaces" that have a large number of atoms in the sand that react, initiating fusion in various ways, and controlling fusion in various ways.

With the continuous progress of rule simulation, more and more methods are presented in front of Cao Chuan, many of which are already being tried by scientists, such as the "tokamak" magnetic field constraint method, the inertial constraint method and so on.

Even in some environments, controllable and stable fusion reactors have been realized, the biggest problem is the cost, just a fusion energy reactor costs more than 100 billion, I don't know how many years it will take to recover the cost.

The rules are constantly being simulated, and the time point of the tech tree is constantly advancing backwards, moving beyond the modern era in the direction of the future, 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years... The number of options in Cao Chuan's mind has increased to dozens, but it is still a little far from what he expected.

A day and a night passed.

"Let's play a little bit better." Cao Chuan has studied that the rule simulation does not interfere with his normal thinking, which can be regarded as opening up a new process in his mind.

The latest "Alpha Centauri II" was launched, as the successor of a masterpiece more than 20 years ago, it carried the high hopes of countless people, and the electronic version sold more than 4 million copies on the first day, which is already a shocking number for a rather niche strategy game, even if "Civilization 6" was first released a few months ago, the sales on the first day were only 5 million.

Among the 481 regular employees of the East Galaxy Company, many of them have been enlightened by this game and have embarked on the road of no return to conquer the sea of stars without hesitation.

Played a game for a day and a night.

"The progress is still increasing, maybe the tech tree branch has not yet been clicked, and the pace of progress is a little slow." Cao Chuan muttered, he looked at a plan, has reduced the cost of the fusion energy reactor to the extent of 1 billion, which is acceptable to the East Galaxy Company, the only disadvantage is that the overall construction of the reactor applies a special technology, and the construction time will take 5 years.

He has no choice but to keep going, and as another milestone in technology, he firmly believes that this little bit of time is worth it.

I played the game for two days and two nights.

"Rule simulation complete............... It took 3 days and 15 hours. ”

In front of Cao Chuan is a complete plan, the core of which is focused on the construction of stable fusion energy reactors, followed by the use of high-purity helium-3 as raw materials for continuous and stable power generation, and then the efficient conversion of the energy generated by fusion into electricity, through the power grid to supply the surrounding areas of the technical map.

"Nana, read out the files of all the employees."

In front of Cao Chuan, there were 481 more information, which were filled in when the employee was registered.

"If you find out the employees related to nuclear physics and nuclear technology, the subsequent construction of fusion energy reactors will greatly affect the progress if they do not involve the participation of insiders."

"Master, the screening results have been given."

Cao Chuan looked at the information: "Xu Bochen, the exploration department, used to be the missile direction designer of the North Industries Group?" Isn't this an acquaintance with Joe Canal? ”

He suddenly recalled a guy in the starry sea penguin group who often dived like himself, as if it was him, and then recalled that the other party had surfaced several times from time to time, and the rigor and pragmatism between his words made people feel that he was engaged in technical material at first glance.

"If it was him, it would be fine." Cao Chuan thought, but he didn't expect that there was a professor-level scientist hidden among his employees, although there was still some distance from the chief engineer of the national project, but after all, he was just less than 40, and he had a long way to go, so he actually ran to the exploration department, which looked like a place where young people should stay in Cao Chuan.

Cao Chuan continued to browse, kept searching, and it didn't take long for him to screen out the information of more than a dozen people, with the assistance of these people, the construction of the fusion energy reactor will not have any more problems, and finally, Renault must not be forgotten, once the fusion energy reactor is built, they will definitely continue to build near the helium 3 refinery, and how to build, Renault will definitely be responsible for it to be reassuring.

Cao Chuan gathered all the people on the list and talked about his fusion energy plan through a conference room, and soon, the much-anticipated fusion power plant will start construction.
