Chapter 1210: Madness and Boiling
readx;
The extraction of several pipes with a thickness of hundreds of meters is really a drop in the bucket compared to a large gaseous planet with a diameter of more than tens of thousands of kilometers, but this time it is an experiment, and there is no need to worry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info When the experiment is determined to be feasible, it will be the turn of these large gas planets to be out of luck! In fact, the experiment has been basically successful so far, Zhang Jingyuan believes that it has been basically successful; The next test is more about the spacecraft's own energy acquisition means and reliability.
At this moment, Boss Zhang and various scientists are in a large-scale virtual laboratory of 1:100; This is also a product of high technology, the running system is reduced to a scale of 1:100, and it is displayed in virtual physical technology, which is not only safe (or some scientists are thin), but most importantly - at a glance, you can directly observe the various positions of the entire system, and once there is a problem, you can find and correct it at the first time.
There is a virtual screen next to it, which shows some specific data, and there are also digital displays at some key piping locations.
Without the guidance of scientists, Zhang Jingyuan himself can see that the "liquid" here is light blue as a whole, but he can also see that there are a lot of impurities in it, which needs to be screened and filtered. The temperature of the liquid is not as cold as imagined, but reaches more than 500 degrees, which is no wonder there will be so much lightning on the surface of the gaseous planet, and the high temperature is the embodiment of energy concentration, just like Venus in history, although it is a carbon dioxide-based gas, but because the temperature is as high as more than 4007 degrees, or even close to 500 degrees, it is also lightning and thunder.
The pressure on the pipeline shows that the pressure here is as high as more than 5,000 times the standard atmospheric pressure, and it is such a huge pressure that compresses these untamable hydrogen, helium, etc., into liquid.
The flow rate of the "water pipe" with a diameter of hundreds of meters is no less than that of the Yangtze River in the rapid extraction; Countless liquids rumbled into huge centrifuges; Centrifuges are the simplest, most reliable, and least expensive piece of equipment. In the first choice of nuclear materials for mankind. It is purified by using a centrifuge.
The centrifuge here is divided into three parts, the first part separates the liquid hydrogen - this process, the volume of the liquid is reduced by about 60%; The second part separates the liquid helium - after this process, less than 5% of the liquid volume remains; The third part is the separation of ammonia! Don't underestimate ammonia, which is an important raw material in the space age, artificial protein, plant catalysis, various chemical raw materials, etc. Ammonia is required.
Usually, no one thinks of separating ammonia from a gaseous planet, but the cost is relatively high, and it is better to use a factory to synthesize it honestly; Now it's a grass and a rabbit!
As for the remaining small amounts of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulfide, etc., which are directly emitted into the atmosphere above, these things are useful, but human resources are already excessive; As long as there is life activity on the spaceship, there is no shortage of these things above.
Watching the three different liquids being sorted into a huge piggy bank, and then sent into a small world for storage, Zhang Jingyuan also felt a sense of accomplishment. The power of science and technology is already so powerful that human beings can exploit all the planetary resources with impunity! Yes. All planetary resources! Up to now, whether it is a gaseous planet, a rocky planet, a frozen planet, etc., as long as human beings feel valuable, they can directly open their greedy mouths and take a bite!
Suddenly, Zhang Jingyuan thought of a question, and turned his head to look at Li Yuzhang next to him, "By the way, senior brother, why don't you build a nuclear reactor in a small space?" Wouldn't that be more space-saving? ”
Li Yuzhang shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to. It's that the small space is unstable! The small space itself is a temporary space that is captured; There is no problem with using this space as a warehouse. But if there is vigorous energy activity inside, it will tear the space apart. We've proven this over and over again, and we've even done a few experiments, and we've almost done a disaster.
For now, a small space can only be used as storage. But it's enough, there are 5 small spaces on this spacecraft to store hydrogen and helium. In the saturated state, it can store more than 100 cubic kilometers.
For the sake of safety and stability, as well as to take into account the effects of outer space, the small space on the spacecraft is 30 kilometers, and the largest small space of more than 100 kilometers is not used. Although 30 kilometers is smaller, the safety and stability are currently the most technological. But even in such a small space. It can only be simply transformed into a living space; However, for the time being, it can only be used as storage space due to safety and escape in case of danger. ”
Zhang Jingyuan nodded; Nowadays, the development of science and technology is too fast, even Zhang Jingyuan can't understand all the situations, and can only roughly know the extent of a certain technology, but the specific details can't be helped.
But Li Yuzhang's explanation did not end, "According to our calculations, there are 60 cubic kilometers of hydrogen and helium reserves, which is enough for the current spacecraft to complete the interstellar migration." If you take into account the reproduction and expansion of the population, material consumption, emergencies, etc., 100 cubic kilometers is completely stress-free and competent! Theoretically, such a spacecraft, filled with hydrogen and helium at one time, can fly directly to the Andromeda galaxy without additional energy replenishment; Even the necessary combat energy is included.
In this way, it is possible to apply useful energy blocks to military and other aspects as much as possible.
And we have a plan, that is, in the next ten years, let China return to the era of nuclear energy, such benefits are twofold:
First, to promote the development of relevant nuclear technologies; The second is to save a lot of energy blocks! According to the current data, after 500 years, the country's energy block reserves will increase by at least 50%! The cost of building a large number of nuclear reactors has already been calculated. ”
"Back to the age of nuclear power?" Zhang Jingyuan chewed these words repeatedly, and was a little speechless in his heart for a while, is this a step backwards of the times? At a time when the Chinese civilization already had the potential to impact the sixth-level civilization, it suddenly ordered the whole country to return to the era of nuclear energy......
It's weird! But I have to say, it's a good suggestion.
And today's nuclear energy is not the nuclear energy of thousands of years ago - it uses electricity, but produces energy blocks, and then it starts to be used; In other words, even if you really go back to the nuclear era, you just have to produce energy in the same way; And the way to harness energy is still the technology of the energy block era - in other words, it is the strategy of the state. There is not the slightest impact on citizens; Perhaps because of the repopularization of nuclear energy, the current China has entered a new era of "non-energy-saving".
Nothing is missing in space, there is no shortage of hydrogen and helium!
It didn't take long for a good cycle to form in the test spacecraft, and hydrogen helium began to replace the original hydrogen helium and smoothly entered the nuclear reactor to start working; With the abundant injection of fresh blood, the speed of the nuclear reactor has doubled again! With today's technology, nuclear reactors can use more than 95% of their energy. The remainder is mainly in the form of heat, which is used to heat the spacecraft - and in space, maintaining the temperature is an important thing.
The entire experiment lasted for a month, and the spacecraft also took off and landed repeatedly in the process, entering the "ocean" of large gas planets ten times before and after to draw energy, and verified the design and collected data through repeated experiments.
"The whole plan was perfect!" Until this moment, Li Yuzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, we can build such a spaceship from now on. Such spacecraft are mainly used to collect hydrogen helium present in the universe. providing the country with alternative energy reserves; We also need to build a large number of nuclear energy plants in the private sector to produce energy storage blocks.
The sooner the better, we are in a race against time at the moment! ”
Nodding, Zhang Jingyuan didn't say anything, in fact, Zhang Jingyuan himself was already moved! As long as the last few data still need to be reviewed by the relevant departments of the empire. After all, Zhang Jingyuan is just a behind-the-scenes figure, and the development of science and technology is also a rigorous matter, especially in the case of the implementation of a certain technology, this is really not something that can be patted on the head.
In the madness. The Empire celebrated its 2,900th birthday (the Imperial calendar) and ended the year. The Empire has made a frantic decision: to return to the era of nuclear energy!
Well, this is the understanding of ordinary citizens, in fact, the open documents of the empire say: to supplement the inadequacy of energy with nuclear energy. Then, of course, there are all sorts of introductions to nuclear energy, why it is used, how to use it, and so on.
Mining gaseous planets, collecting hydrogen and helium, and developing new nuclear energy have become popular slogans for a while. People are just as crazy!
Because. In order to develop nuclear energy and alleviate energy pressure, the state has finally opened up the energy that has been strictly controlled in its hands to the people! Actually, it doesn't work if it's not open.
In the past, the main source of energy blocks was stellar collar technology, and building stellar collars is obviously not something that ordinary people and enterprises can afford; So the empire is indirectly controlling energy in the hands of the state. It can also be regarded as a means of restraint. But nuclear energy is different, this thing is based on the current technical level in China, middle school students can design a nuclear reactor, and it is guaranteed to have their own characteristics; As for the energy block, the new energy block model is now used - a technology that uses electromagnetic field energy as a "seal" - is also open to the public.
In the space age, energy = currency! Even if the energy is depreciated, there is no fear of it, there is endless energy in space!
Private capital is crazy! This kind of madness, even the empire did not expect!
The year after the statement was issued, that is, after a year of gestation, two percent of the large gaseous planets within the empire's territory were already in a state of exploitation, and almost all the rest were predetermined; Even the mere auction of the rights to exploit the gaseous planets in the empire has increased the country's revenue considerably. And there are more people who directly form a runway outside the territory of the empire to mine, although the distance is far away, but tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of private entrepreneurs are united, and they can actually build their own subspace gates!
By the year 2910 of the imperial calendar, that is, ten years after the policy was made public, the entire territory of the Chinese Empire had completely undergone earth-shaking changes! The people used their wisdom to bring new life to this empire!
All sorts of spaceships shuttle through space, some in traditional shapes, some like peanuts, some like gourds, some elongated, some flattened, some like pearl disks - one bulge after another, some in the shape of snowflakes, and some directly in the shape of a giant hollow ring......
But all of these new ships are ships with nuclear reactors installed. Some of them are mineral ships, some are transportation ships, and some are space energy factories -- such as pearl disks and snowflakes, which are directly tens of thousands of nuclear reactor aggregates, outputting countless energy blocks every day!
And because of the use of a large amount of nuclear energy, gas planets have suffered an unprecedented blow - in the past, human beings directly let go of gas planets and only mined solid planets, but now gas planets have become sought-after pearls (gas planets with rich surface colors really look like pearls), and there are often companies fighting lawsuits for the ownership of gas planets! Of course, there are many gaseous planets, but there are more people!
And among the people, after more than 200 years of energy conservation plans, the empire finally lifted the ban again, and the planets once again returned to their bright colors.
By the year 2950 of the Imperial Calendar, the country's energy block reserve speed had more than doubled! This made the upper echelons of the empire all breathe a sigh of relief! The power of the people is really too strong; The crazy civil power is even more powerful than the power directly controlled by the state; This was unexpected, but it was also an unexpected surprise!
