In any case, the hydrogen-helium fusion reactor was activated, and the researchers who came over watched as a hot and dense ball of light ignited in the center of the origin of the central part of the reactor, gradually filling the entire interior of the reactor, firmly restrained by the three-layer structure.

"100 million degrees Celsius, 200 million degrees Celsius, 300 million degrees Celsius..."Through special spectral performance, they judged the temperature of the reaction to the inside, and at the same time, because the strength of atomic-scale materials is extremely high, Cao Chuan also ensures a very high pressure in the confined space, thereby reducing the conditions of fusion energy, and it is easy to excite stable and controllable fusion energy.

"It's up and running!" The researchers lamented that after such a long period of time, humanity has finally come to such a point, and it is almost an urge to sigh 100 times.

Cao Chuan is still staring at the hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor, such a big guy is not stable enough, as the person who realizes it, of course knows how unsafe it is.

Sure enough, on the third day of the operation of the fusion energy reactor, there was an earth-shaking sound, and the hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor exploded on the outskirts of Planet 3.

The fusion energy reactor is stored in at least 10,000 times or a million times the raw materials of the nuclear warhead, so once it gets out of control, even if it comes into contact with the outside world, it will stop suddenly because of the insufficient temperature and pressure, because the energy accumulated before is too large, the explosion still causes very terrifying damage.

A 30-kilometer radius of the earth has been torn apart, and the prototype of the reactor, which cost as much as 500 billion yuan, has been reduced to rubble, leaving only a small fraction of atomic-level materials and dark matter materials to be recycled, and nothing remains.

As for the place 20 kilometers away from the center of the explosion, it was the place where Cao Chuan was standing at that time, and the distance was so far away that he was buried in the soil several kilometers deep in an instant, and endured repeated crushing by hundreds of tons of force per unit area. So, he almost died.

Yes, his bones were almost completely shattered, it was the first time he had been subjected to such a swift attack, and he had finally experienced the feeling of death approaching, but at the same time. He survived, but had to rest for a while.

As for the rest of the researchers, they were more secure than themselves at that time, and only a few dozen people had broken bones, concussions, and made exceptions for their organs, and none of them were as serious as themselves.

Otherwise, if the researchers of the basic science group are all wiped out, it will be a catastrophe for the East Galaxy Company. There are many examples of the Beacon Country of Freedom, the Country of Night Rabbits, and he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

The prototype test failed, but Cao Chuan didn't seem particularly frustrated, "Then learn this lesson and let's build a new fusion energy reactor." ”

Another 500 billion investment, in Cao Chuan's eyes, the currency has become a simple number. Unless someone tells him that this is the annual salary of tens of millions of people. He will be touched.

However, in order to research the world's top technology, this kind of effort is nothing at all, and he already has a rule simulation, otherwise, he will consume trillions of dollars, and more time.

Learn. The process of building the reactor was slow, and in the blink of an eye, half a year later, the construction of the second prototype was completed, and this time the reactor finally did not explode. In terms of power generation alone, the total is 500 million kilowatt hours, which is almost the same in the same country, and this reactor is just a power source for the group-star spacecraft, but it is still too large.

In fact, after the completion of the hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor, it will definitely be applied not only for the spacecraft, but also in the field of traditional energy, but from the third-generation spacecraft to reap the most benefits, it is forced to solve the problem here.

"Well, the rest is still miniaturized!" Cao Chuan pondered, even a small morning star level would not be able to accommodate this big guy, could it be said that all the starship-level spaceships would be on the horse in the future?

Sounds good, in fact, the East Galaxy Company can't afford to spend it, a starship will take at least 5 years to build, and the price is even more trillions, if it is disassembled for a larger number of spaceships, how much economic value will it provide in 5 years? Cao Chuan is not a profiteer, and the accounts are still clear.

"Mr. Advisor, can you leave the problem to us?" The researchers below were eager to try, thinking to themselves, the hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor had already come out, and the miniature would be easier.

"I'm sorry... Regarding the miniaturization thing, I thought about it and actually had a solution. Cao Chuan replied with a disappointing but happy reply from the researchers, and they gasped, "Then the way is..."

In half a year, Cao Chuan and a group of coolie researchers built a hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor shrunken to a size of 100 meters, and they tested the effect of the reactor on the spacecraft.

"Energy consumption is stable, raw materials are constantly replenished..."

"Hydrogen helium fusion energy really has a good appetite, eat anything!" Employees lament, and when you think about how much heium-3 they had to squeeze out of a lot of dust, how much deuterium they have progressed to using nearly one-thousandth of deuterium from the ocean, and now they are now able to use the two most common elements in the universe, hydrogen and helium.

"Keep watching!" Cao Chuan gave the order.

"The output is stable, the speed rises to 10,000 km/s, 20,000 km/s..."

There is no one in the prototype spacecraft, so it can be accelerated at will, and the speed of 1000G directly, atomic-level materials and equipment can withstand it, and in less than a few hours, the speed of the spacecraft reaches the limit of the speed of the third-generation spacecraft of 150,000 km/s, unless the mass production of atomic-level materials is solved, otherwise, the speed will not be able to be improved.

"What about energy consumption?"

"Without activating the Higgs particle generator and protective force field, less than 5% of the energy was consumed."

"Hmm... In this way, it is not a problem to fly for a few years. Cao Chuan said, "In this case, all the tests have passed, let's gradually replace the swarm-class spacecraft with new reactors!" ”

Cheers from below.

The new reactor will be gradually and selectively refitted, this time the core is not the high price, but the raw material for hydrogen helium fusion energy will be extremely cheap, hydrogen helium can be seen everywhere, which will cause market turmoil, and it will be you who are in a hurry to get started.

Secondly, only long-distance voyages of more than 10 light-years can hydrogen helium fusion energy show its advantages and be able to adapt to changes in a rich cosmic environment, and only part of the fleet of the exploration department, the combat department, and the trade department will run so far.

Cao Chuan, who is not in a hurry, is ready to spend 20 years to achieve a 50% penetration rate of hydrogen helium fusion energy reactors.

As long as it is solved, the third-generation ship will be able to hit the ground with a croak. (To be continued.) )
