Chapter 548: The scale is unprecedented

For the icy and snowy land of the Northern Hemisphere.

Homo sapiens didn't care too much, and although people from all over the world came to work at Homo sapiens every day, and there were still a few of them, it didn't affect the plans within Homo sapiens.

With the time came to January of the 3rd year of the galaxy.

Although Li Qingye is still in the Pangea realm of Africa, studying biological evolution experiments, this does not mean that he is not blind to things outside the window, on the contrary, he is clear about many things in the world.

For example, the research progress of Amerika on the brain chip is still in a state of dystocia, and the combination of the chip and the brain is extremely difficult.

In a series of animal experiments, not only did the chip and the brain not cooperate with each other, but side effects were produced, resulting in mania, mental disorders, brain death and other conditions in the experimental animals.

America has not made a breakthrough in the brain chip.

On the contrary, Lucia, who was desperate, carried out a nuclear fusion power generation experiment project by archaeological archaeology of his father's legacy, and successfully completed a 500 megawatt nuclear fusion power generation experiment.

Li Qingye rubbed his temples and listened to Bagyura's report.

“…… Lucia built this fusion power station in a mine in the southern Ural Mountains, and the principle of power generation is the same as ours, using a nuclear explosion hearth. ”

"How good is the miniaturization of their hydrogen bomb?" Li Qingye was a little surprised.

"They worked with Seris and now they can achieve a low-pollution 300-tonne equivalent, so the cavity has to be large enough to withstand an explosion," Bagyinla explained. ”

"300 tons equivalent? Not bad! Li Qingye smiled and shook his head.

Obviously, under the enormous environmental pressure, human beings can put aside some of their concerns.

Is fusion power generation hard?

No, it's not difficult at all.

The key is which way to go.

If it is the nuclear explosion hearth scheme adopted by Lucia now by Homo sapiens, there is basically not much difficulty, as long as there is a small hydrogen bomb technology of several hundred tons, plus a large enough hearth, it can generate a steady stream of electricity.

And if you want to build a tokamak device or a star, it is indeed quite difficult.

Even Homo sapiens, which now has high-temperature superconductors of more than minus 20 degrees Celsius, has not made much progress on the tokamak device.

The rough Lucia obviously didn't have the cost and energy to build a tokamak device, but picked up the nuclear explosion furnace plan left by his father.

The method is a little simpler and crude, but the key is that it is very easy to use!

Now that the high latitudes are affected by global cooling, the future situation is not optimistic, and Lucia is certainly not going to sit idly by.

The safety of the nuclear explosion hearth scheme is also good, even safer than the general fission reactor, after all, the hydrogen bomb explodes directly, and many radioactive materials are reacted away, and the remaining radioactive materials are also concentrated in the earthhend.

If there is better technology in the future, it is completely possible to mothball the hearth and let the radioactive material inside decay naturally.

The technology can be used in the vast and sparsely populated regions of Semblia and in the deserts of Central Asia, as long as they are not close to towns and agricultural areas.

Homo sapiens, on the other hand, has a more miniature and more efficient firefly-type hydrogen bomb, so the hearth can be built smaller and more thermally efficient.

On some of the more remote islands, Homo sapiens likes to build such nuclear explosion furnace power stations.

……

Li Qingye saw the annual report of the Space Division again.

In the entire year of Galaxy's 2 years, Homo sapiens launched a total of 7.38 million tons of materials into outer space, which is unprecedented.

And specifically on the project.

Last year, the Space Division completed a total of 37 space projects, large and small.

These include: the Homo sapiens space station with a 700-meter spiral arm, the Earth-Moon Lagrange L1 transit space station, the Copernicus base on the moon, the mass projector on the far side of the moon (35% progress), the Mars exploration project, the Venus-Cloud Palace project (23%), the asteroid belt exploration project, the Jupiter exploration project, and the solar storm warning system.

In addition to these completed achievements, the Space Division also made a rough report on this year's work arrangement.

Li Qingye has no opinion on this, although at this stage, there is no way for new humans to live in outer space for a long time, but these investments are laying the foundation.

For example, the Homo sapiens space station, this project plans to expand to a radius of 1,000 meters this year, so that the quasi-gravity module at the end of the rotation can ensure that organisms can live in it for a long time.

Once the length of the spiral arm of the Homo sapiens space station reaches 1,000 meters, the gradient difference caused by centrifugal force becomes relatively insignificant.

This is also a sign that the project is ready to enter long-term testing, and after the spiral arm reaches 1,000 meters, the Homo sapiens space station will not continue to expand.

The other is to prepare for the construction of the Homo sapiens 2 space station, which is also located in a mid-orbital orbit, but at an altitude of about 2,400 kilometers.

The space station 2 is purely a microgravity laboratory, specially prepared for the synthesis of biological materials in outer space.

The Copernicus base on the far side of the moon will not be expanded, but two more sub-bases will be built.

The mass projector project on the far side of the moon will continue to build the remaining part this year, and the project is expected to be completed in Galaxy 4 years.

Suddenly, he saw another large project.

Gyroscope-class starship project.

To put it bluntly, this project is a spaceship similar to the Homo sapiens space station, which can rotate itself to meet the gravity needs of the spacecraft, and create an imitation environment inside the spacecraft where new humans can live for a long time.

Obviously, this is an experimental spacecraft specially prepared for the exploration of aliens over long distances.

The project is expected to start in August this year and be completed in August next year, when a simulated environment will be arranged in the pseudo-gravity module, and then some primate monkeys, cats and dogs will be put into the test to test how the animals will change during the long-term interstellar voyage.

The gyroscope-class 001 spacecraft will go to Mars and then return to Earth, and it will take about 4 years to go back and forth.

Li Qingye flipped through the relevant ideas of the gyroscope-class interstellar spaceship, although the gyroscope-class scale is quite large, but the Homo sapiens company can still afford it.

So he approved the project directly.

As for dozens of other small projects, they were also approved by Li Qingye with a stroke of the pen.

Projects like the Super Astronomical Telescope are actually really small projects for Homo sapiens.

With Homo sapiens' current productivity and space delivery technology, tens of millions of tons of supplies are sent to outer space a year, which is more than enough.

If you have money and resources, you can be so capricious.

Homo sapiens' current investments reflect one adjective: inhumanity.

In fact, the four major forces can also increase their investment in outer space on a large scale and achieve leapfrog development in space.

However, in reality, most of the resources and funds in the free world have been eaten up by the two gold-eating beasts of military industry and medical care, and only a small part can be left to the aerospace industry.

Human beings are in the midst of internal friction, and the waste of resources is too great.

Li Qingye's Homo sapiens company can get rid of this internal friction because of technological progress.

Now the military strength of Homo sapiens is very strong, so the investment in the military industry has been reduced a lot, and a lot of resources and talents occupied by the military industry and medical care can be transferred to the aerospace industry.

This is the reason for the unprecedented scale of Homo sapiens' space industry.
