Chapter 53 Controlled Nuclear Fusion and Metallic Hydrogen

Time passed slowly, and Wei Qingyang finally came out of the retreat again.

This retreat was not a practice, but a study of how to expand the scope of the Heaven Breaking Sword Formation.

The expansion and improvement of the formation is also an extremely difficult subject, and no one can help Wei Qingyang. Because the realm is not enough, you can't understand the complex formation technique at all. But fortunately, thanks to the successful development of the supercomputer, Wei Qingyang specially developed an AI program, and carried out a lot of deep learning and deep training, with it as an assistant to solve some procedural and basic problems, Wei Qingyang finally laid the draft of improving the formation.

With the blueprint and the heavenly materials and earth treasures required for the formation, the next step is naturally to start acting.

The expansion of the formation also means that the scope of safe activities of everyone on Qingyang Star has been expanded to the entire Luo Yuan Star, and it also means that large-scale literacy education is about to begin, and there will be many scientific research forces to supplement the scientific research team.

However, before that, Wei Qingyang still has a problem to solve.

He summoned Hu Chonghai again.

"Sect Master."

Facing Wei Qingyang, Hu Chonghai bowed respectfully.

Wei Qingyang said: "Hu Chonghai, if I let you not be able to return to Luo Yuanxing in the future, are you willing?" ”

Although he didn't know why, Hu Chonghai didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said firmly: "Everything is under the orders of the sect master." ”

This answer did not surprise Wei Qingyang.

Hu Chonghai's loyalty has long been seen by Wei Qingyang during this period of time. At the same time, his loyalty is not only to Wei Qingyang's personal loyalty, but to the route and his future career.

It is his lifelong wish to be able to free the human race from the oppression of the demon clan. And now, Wei Qingyang not only solved the demon race, but also led the human race on a road of self-improvement - although he couldn't understand what Wei Qingyang did, he could obviously perceive that the strength of the human race was increasing day by day - this kind of loyalty in belief is further than loyalty to the individual.

For the sake of this belief, for the sake of the future career, he is willing to make any sacrifice.

Wei Qingyang sighed and said, "Hu Chonghai, you have to understand, it's not that I don't believe you, but that if one day in the future, you are captured by the enemy to search for your soul, then no matter how loyal you are, it is impossible to keep the secret." And this secret is related to the foundation of human beings, and it must never be divulged.

Originally, I also planned to include you in the system and let you have access to this secret, but in this way, for the sake of secrecy, I can't let you leave Luo Yuanxing to move freely. But...... The development of our human race cannot be separated from the material replenishment of the outside world for the time being, and I am bound to leave a mobile team outside of Luo Yuanxing. I think about it, and the most suitable person is you. ”

There are also many asteroids in the Hongyang Galaxy, which are rich in precious minerals. Those minerals, Wei Qingyang also needs, it is impossible to miss it.

But the range of the Sky Breaking Sword Array couldn't cover that far. In this way, for the sake of secrecy, he could only temporarily aggrieve Hu Chonghai for his activities outside Luo Yuanxing, and collected minerals and sent them to Luo Yuanxing.

Hu Chonghai knelt down solemnly: "As long as it helps my human race to become strong, I, Hu Chonghai, will never give up." ”

"Good!" Wei Qingyang praised and said, "Don't worry, when our strength is a little stronger, we won't need to have so many worries." ”

As a result, with Hu Chonghai as the leader and the original disciples of the Heavenly Sect as the backbone, an interstellar mining and transportation team was quickly formed, and began to move around in the Hongyang Galaxy, and continuously transported back all kinds of minerals urgently needed for the development of science and technology.

Minerals continued to enter, but they themselves could no longer step into Luo Yuanxing.

At this moment, the expansion project of the Sky-Breaking Sword Array has officially begun. Almost every one of Wei Qingyang's more than 8,000 divine thoughts entered a state of full capacity, and a huge amount of treasures of heaven and earth were scattered by him to Luo Yuanxing's various places like money, becoming a part of the expanded Heaven Breaking Sword Array.

In the planning of the new formation, Wei Qingyang adopted the method of one main core and one secondary core. The main core is naturally on the Qingyang Star, the sword qi derived from the Sky-Breaking Sword, which mainly protects the Qingyang Star and has the highest security level. The sub-core is mainly based on the Red Yang Knife captured from Xiong Ba, focusing on Luo Yuanxing.

The two cores usually merge into one, support each other, and cover each other's strength, and at critical moments, they can quickly separate, allowing Qingyang Star to escape quickly.

After the formation was arranged, the long-awaited large-scale recruitment of newcomers by everyone in Qingyang Star could finally begin. The Interim Humanity Government was abolished, and all humanity was brought under the jurisdiction of the Executive Office. As a result, under the arrangement of the Administration Department, a large number of schools have sprung up, and unless the real life span is about to run out, everyone is put into the school and begins to receive education.

Under these circumstances, the process of large-scale industrialization was immediately halted. Because everyone is sent to school, who will mine and refine, who will operate the machines?

But it doesn't really matter. Because in the previous large-scale industrialization process, there were already enough materials on Qingyang Star, and besides, most of the professors were assigned to be teachers, and they didn't have the time and energy to engage in scientific research.

But there was one project team that was always running, and no forces were dispersed.

That's the team at the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project.

In Wei Qingyang's view, controlled nuclear fusion is not just a simple way to source energy. It means many things.

In terms of applications, there are practical high-speed interstellar missiles - you know, chemical fuels, and even fission fuels, are not enough to give interstellar missiles high enough speed, only fusion is possible. And the speed is not enough, no matter how powerful the warhead is, it is useless.

The monks of the Tian Yuan Realm launched the Escape Method, and the speed could generally be as high as thousands of kilometers per second, and the speed of the interstellar missile was not fast enough, how could they attack them?

Satellites with long enough endurance, interstellar mines, etc., also need fusion energy. Wei Qingyang is planning to launch some satellites to the Lieyang Galaxy, so as to listen to the situation there, and there is no controllable nuclear fusion that cannot be done at all.

In addition to this, some large-scale physics research tools, such as the extremely high-energy particle collider, cannot be done without nuclear fusion as a source of energy.

For Wei Qingyang, controlled nuclear fusion is a key, a key that can open the door to a new world.

In the previous world, controlled nuclear fusion was realized, but it was not miniaturized. Moreover, the technology is too complex and the supporting facilities required are too large for the top experts to understand only some of them, but not all of them. Wei Qingyang, a non-nuclear physics major, has even more limited knowledge.

Many technical details need to be studied by the scientists of Qingyang Star themselves. There are many obstacles, and they need to break through them themselves. All Wei Qingyang can provide is some help in the general direction.

Among them, he knew how to break through the most important obstacle.

In fact, there is such a thing as controllable nuclear fusion in a broad sense, which has been realized in the world of the previous life a long time ago, and this world can barely achieve it. But the key problem is that it doesn't make much sense.

The realization is realized, but as a result, such a large device, not only can not transmit energy to the outside world, but also has to input energy from the outside world to operate, what is the use of this?

One of the most important obstacles is superconducting materials, especially room-temperature superconductivity.

It can be said that when the problem of superconducting materials is solved, controlled nuclear fusion is truly of practical significance.

He remembers very well that the material used to solve this problem in his previous life was metallic hydrogen.

Metallic hydrogen is actually hydrogen. Ordinary hydrogen is compressed to the limit under extremely high pressure, and it becomes a solid material, and it has the characteristics of metal, which can conduct electricity and has no resistance, and is a real superconducting material.

Therefore, the most important task of the controllable nuclear fusion project team is to first pound out the metallic hydrogen, and it needs to be prepared on a large scale economically. Otherwise, it's not much use to just get a little bit out of the lab.

And, with Wei Qingyang's always pragmatic thinking, he didn't mind whether this thing was made by scientific methods or cultivation methods. Either way, as long as you can get it out.

So now, the members of the project team are meditating on how to combine practice and science to provide enough pressure for the diamond to press out the metal hydrogen.

In addition to being a superconducting material, metallic hydrogen is also a super-energetic material, and if it is detonated, it is even two to three times more powerful than the all-nitrogen anionic salt. This is very against the sky, and in the future, we will optimize the structure of the hydrogen bomb, and there is even hope that the atomic bomb will be directly replaced by metallic hydrogen as its initiating charge.

In this way, a clean and pollution-free hydrogen bomb can be produced, which may be of great use in the future.

In addition to this, there is the most important point.

With controlled nuclear fusion technology, Wei Qingyang can build an ultra-high-energy particle collider, and he can use it to study the most fundamental mysteries of the universe.

When the time comes, after traveling so far, the biggest question in Wei Qingyang's heart may be answered.

The question is that in this universe, there is obviously no place where the power of the stars exists, but it turns out that it really exists, so ...... Why?

Why is it that all theories are self-consistent and verifiable, that the laws of physics are exactly the same as the previous universe, and that there is no theory that can support the existence of such an unscientific thing as the power of the stars, but why does it really exist?

The answer to this question may lie in the most subtle physical structure. The ultra-high-energy particle collider may be able to find out the answer.
