Chapter 82: Upgrading the Third Generation of Nuclear Fusion!
"10,000 technology points, ah......"
Zhao Yu rubbed his hands, a little excited, it was the first time to consume 10,000 technology points at one time.
Step into the base's core control room and find fusion-related technology.
[Do you spend 10,000 Tech Points to upgrade to third-generation nuclear fusion?] 】
"Yes!"
[Base: Level 1]
[Experience: 62800/100000]
[Science and technology points: 8 points.] (Increases by 1 point per hour.) )】
Ignoring the hint of increased experience, Zhao Yu quickly turned on the nuclear fusion technology.
It was found that it is currently in the third generation of nuclear fusion, and there is no upgradeable button behind it.
"I don't know if the base will reach the second level, there will be a fourth generation of nuclear fusion, or there will be a new technological ......"
Zhao Yu muttered, and hurriedly checked the changes after upgrading nuclear fusion.
Soon, he found three new exchange technologies.
Hall thruster: A high-end thruster that combines electromagnetic technology and nuclear fusion technology. Description: An electromagnetic field can be built at the tail of the spacecraft, and the energy released by nuclear fusion can be used to accelerate it to form a plasma jet to propel the spacecraft forward. Tech Points Required: 1000]
"This is what Uncle Da predicted, after upgrading the third-generation nuclear fusion, the power of the technology will be greatly improved?"
"It turned out to be the product of the combination of electromagnetic technology and nuclear fusion technology......
Thinking like this, Zhao Yu clicked on the list of spaceships, found the U-shaped spaceship, and found that the spaceship had indeed changed.
[U-shaped spaceship: A conventional warship that can be equipped with Hall thrusters, and can be modified for multiple purposes. 】
Zhao Yu suddenly wondered, no wonder the U-shaped spacecraft had both nuclear power and magnetic power before, but the speed did not increase, and his feeling was that his nuclear fusion technology was not in place, so the spacecraft could not release the ultimate form.
He hurriedly checked the details of the Hall thrusters.
The further down he looked, the deeper the smile on Zhao Yu's face became.
"This Hall thruster is really powerful!"
According to the instructions, the spacecraft equipped with Hall thrusters can reach a conventional speed of Mach 500, which is equivalent to about 600,000 km/h, which is equivalent to 14.4 million kilometers a day.
This means that Mercury, which is currently the closest planet, only takes 10 days to go back and forth.
Mars is currently 120 million kilometers away from the blue star, and it takes about 20 days to make a round trip.
"One plus one is really bigger than two, these two full-level technologies are superimposed, and the speed has increased so much!"
Zhao Yu smiled, the appearance of the Hall Thruster meant that he could take his eyes off the Blue Star and go to other nearby planets to mine.
He was even more pleasantly surprised by the fact that the Hall thruster was not only capable of a regular speed of Mach 500.
Hall thrusters can also be installed on ultra-small special warships, with short-range instantaneous speeds, even reaching Mach 1,000.
However, the battery life is limited, and it will be shut down for maintenance for a maximum of one hour.
Even so, it's not bad, at least, at the moment, the time to travel to and from the Blue Star is greatly reduced, and it only takes 20 minutes to fly from the moon to the Blue Star.
"The only problem now is that there are not enough technology points......
Zhao Yu has a big head, life technology, everything that can be traded has been traded, and the only thing left is Skynet that can be exchanged for 500 technology points.
"Is it possible, you have to take out some weapons to trade with Blue Star?"
Zhao Yu shook his head, didn't think much about it, and planned to go out after a while, and discuss it with Uncle Da before making a decision.
He then looked at the second new exchange technology.
[Mothership: A large warship, which can provide berthing and maintenance work for the fleet's ultra-long-distance operations. Tech Points Required: 1000]
Just looking at the description, it is decent, and in terms of power system, it can also be equipped with Hall thrusters, and the speed has not slowed down, but it consumes a lot of fuel.
Zhao Yu looked at the detailed data again, and after reading it again, his brows furrowed slightly.
"The mothership doesn't seem to be as good as I thought, and although it can be loaded with various types of weapons, it doesn't seem to have a new breakthrough......"
"However, the mothership is capable of carrying the repair equipment of each ship, and all damaged ships are returned to the mothership for repairs......"
"The most important thing is that it is large, it is a thousand kilometers long, and it is no problem to fit a million people......"
Returning to the description column, the mothership is indeed an indispensable battleship for long-distance operations, and the variety of materials that can be carried is so rich that it is almost equivalent to carrying an asteroid with it.
"1000 tech points, it's not much, but there's no need to get it out for the time being......"
Zhao Yu now has no need for ultra-long-distance navigation, and in terms of supply, a space base can be built, and there are various supply ships and transport ships as supplements, which are enough.
Without lingering too much on the mothership, Zhao Yu looked at the next new technology.
[Artificial Sun: It can change the cold and uninhabitable environment of remote planets. Tech Points Required: 1000]
"Artificial little sun?!"
Zhao Yu showed a stunned look on his face, read the explanation in detail, and found that this thing seemed to be useless to him now.
"If there is no threat of an alien fleet in a month, this little sun is very good, it can transform the planets in remote areas and use them to colonize ......"
In fact, there are still many technologies in life, and Zhao Yu didn't point it out, if it is safe in the future, he can all light it up and engage in a wave of colonization.
After the upgrade, and also figured out the situation of the three new technologies, Zhao Yu looked at the list of spaceships again, and found that in addition to the saucer-shaped spaceship, all other types of spaceships can basically be equipped with Hall thrusters.
The saucer-shaped spaceship can also be changed, but after the modification, the concealment is greatly reduced, and the original role is almost lost.
In addition to the greatly enhanced power system, Zhao Yu found that weapons and defense products related to nuclear fusion have also been greatly strengthened.
It's like the Star Destroyer Cannon, which has only been built in the first generation before, and is capable of smashing asteroids with a diameter of 100 kilometers.
The Star Destroyer now has an upgradable option to smash asteroids up to 500 kilometers in diameter.
In comparison, the power is five times higher.
Others, such as the laser defense system, have also been greatly strengthened, and the endurance and maximum defense power have been improved.
In addition, nuclear fusion is upgraded to the third generation, and the energy provided is upgraded again.
If the first-generation nuclear fusion power station installed in Bluestar is installed, it can provide daily power supply for more than 100 countries and regions of Bluestar.
Today's third-generation fusion power station will be able to supply the electricity demand of the ten existing blue stars.
If it is placed in a normal civilization, the biggest role of upgraded nuclear fusion is to provide energy for large-scale energy-consuming scientific research.
For example, Blue Star has always wanted to do large-scale research in the field of particles and quantum, but due to energy constraints, equipment such as particle colliders and proton colliders have chosen the lowest power, and even so, the annual energy expenditure is also an astronomical amount.
Leaving the core control room, Zhao Yu told Uncle Da about the new technology.
"Uncle Da, if you want to build the Hall Thruster as soon as possible, in addition to Skynet, we still lack 500 technology points, what fields do you see, can you squeeze it?!"
After thinking for a moment, Uncle Da said: "Sir, not trading weapons is the bottom line, if you look at it this way, you may need to sell Xiaotian......"
"Of course, we can only sell the first generation of Xiaotian, so that even if Blue Star gets it, it won't affect our mining efficiency......"
Zhao Yu thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "It's only like this!" ”
