Chapter 357: Elemental Furnace
In reality, a purple-gold container with a diameter of three thousand meters was pulled into the original inner asteroid belt, which was almost empty at the moment, and it seemed that it was preparing to carry out a special experiment here.
There are secondary spheres about 100 meters in diameter, evenly distributed on the outer surface of the container in a semi-embedded pattern, like the top of a Buddha's skull.
Inside, only the hundreds of meters in diameter at the very center of the container are hollow, and the rest is wrapped in layers of heavy structures inscribed with intricate patterns, and if anyone who drills into it and makes out the inscriptions, they will find that they contain both spells and charisma, and the latter appears to be an enchanted component of the former.
Preparations are underway, preparations are ending
As the outermost pimples began to operate one by one, the huge amount of energy was poured into the three-dimensional inscription array of the container, and then all kinds of added magic effects were formed, which acted on the inside of it, acting on the seemingly invisible gas area in the center.
What first occurred was a gravitational extrusion-type perturbation structure copied from the inner core of the parent star, which was modified by the same type of solar gravity-type perturbation but with great incompleteness, and the thoughts related to the Mother Earth and the Sun Divine Grace surged towards the core cavity together.
This series of inscription disturbances was undoubtedly born from the internal observation of an increasing number of high-level spellcasters, which lasted for hundreds of years;
At this time, what they generate is 600 times the gravity-like oppression of the inner core of the parent star, and they are far from the end of existing technological capabilities.
At the moment, the matter directly subjected to this effect lost its gaseous nature, and they began to collapse towards the center at an extremely rapid rate;
Under continuous and extreme oppression, these gases only instantaneously turn into a special fluid-like substance, and a relatively small amount of light and heat is filled in the cavity.
Since then, the effect of the spell has continued to deepen, from 600 times the pressure of the inner core of the parent star to 1500 times, and the special substance formed by gas condensation and polymerization is also surging in the process to continuously produce heat and luminosity;
Gradually, when 2,200 times the inner core pressure of the parent star is reached at the apex of the current state of technology, the central material has become a high-heat low-light sphere with a dark red color, which looks like a stunted miniature dwarf star.
Then, while continuing to maintain this oppression, the assistance from the rest of the powerful means gradually took shape, and was applied to the inner and outer parts of the light sphere one by one...
Countless beams of holy light carrying divine prayers diffused out from all directions, and all of them hit the outer surface of the ball of light, directly increasing the pressure on it to 2,500 times the inner core pressure of the parent star.
There are also shock waves wrapped in beliefs that are repeatedly introduced to the core of the photosphere, and then there are particle beams and electromagnetic energy carrying majestic energy, which are also continuously released with the core of the photosphere as the target
This part of the oscillation and energy gives the inner core a more extreme high temperature, so that the light sphere that is 'stunted' due to insufficient pressure is directed to another stage, and begins to form a more essential transformation in the pulsed expansion and contraction;
Time passed little by little, and the temperature inside the photosphere rose rapidly, continuously, and violently, and the secondary high temperature, which was originally only caused by oppression, suddenly rose to tens of millions of degrees, tens of millions of degrees, hundreds of millions of degrees, billions of degrees, and billions of absolute degrees in a very short time.
At this time, that layer of nuclear barrier has long been broken through by the extremely high temperature, but the rhythm of warming seems to have been continued as if there is no end
Then, a silent roar sounded as if it had been directly formed in the sea of hearts, and a ball of blazing white light with a core temperature of tens of billions of degrees suddenly formed in less than a millimeter of time;
By this time, the surging equilibrium formed under the constraints of high pressure had failed, and the tendency of outward expansion was suddenly magnified countless times.
I saw that the majestic pressure was generated from the inside to the outside, and in a time that could not even be directly observed by the naked eye, it broke through the layers of gravity disturbances, and like a fierce beast that had broken out of the cage, it rushed straight towards the outer structure with ferocity.
However, the light ball itself also formed a high-speed hypothermia at the moment of expansion, and the upgraded Zhi Brain used a speed far beyond that of a high-level spellcaster, and only instantly completed the extreme core cooling under the increase of divine magic;
In addition, an invisible protection called the 'Near-Zero Barrier' isolated the inside and outside, and finally caused this catastrophe, which was equivalent to being deliberately created, and even the expanding ball of light itself, all disappeared silently and came down to nothingness.
And then came a harvest that might not have been abundant, but definitely exciting.
After eliminating all kinds of extreme influences in the reactor chamber, Zhinao collected some strange residues from its interior and sent them to the inspection agency for special high-precision detection;
As a result, almost all of the procurator elements, including No. 26, were detected, but the fusion fuel that was previously injected into the reactor was only the most abundant element No. 1 in the universe
Therefore, at this time, another name for this new 3,000-meter-class fusion reactor is about to be called, that is, 'Elemental Furnace';
Correspondingly, the verification type of kilometer-diameter reactor also has a resounding new name - 'Scorching Sun'.
The technical route of both is a pulsed fusion reactor under the constraint of imitation gravity and inertia, which can diffuse the fusion source to the body of elements 1 and 2 when operating with energy supply as the goal, and form a limited circular fusion process of element 6-7-8-2.
Moreover, while the latter encapsulates all the functions of the former, it can maintain the operation of the elemental furnace effect in a 'moment' unit, using internal and external pressure to generate the precursor elements in a very short period of time.
If we continue to increase the diameter of the functional area of the elemental furnace and increase it to the scale of 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters, or even tens of thousands of meters, it is theoretically possible to fuse all the precursors of precious metal 79 in the mode of 'net energy output'.
However, the simulation results in the virtual realm show that the 3,000-meter level is the limit of function and safety
In the future, the difference between the effect value actually required by the gravity-like constraint and the effect value that can be formed by the diameter stacking will be exponentially widened.
At that point, the core plasma, which tends to expand at extreme temperatures, will break through the bound elements and truly penetrate the outer structure, causing the entire heap to melt into waste in the explosion, and the amount of heavy elements that can be harvested afterwards is completely disproportionate to the energy cost in the process.
Not only that, because the elements that can be made are abundant in the solar system, so even the 3000-meter-level pile does not need to turn on the furnace function.
That is to say, for today's resources, which are not scarce, or even abundant, the use of this technology is basically limited to scientific research, and there is not much practical application value, until the technical ability can stably and efficiently generate superweight decay elements.
So in the plan, there will only be one or two limited real-world attempts at a larger heap as a means of verification.
~~~~~~~
At this step, the main steps related to technical verification are over, and the remaining thing is to design the actual function of the product according to the needs and environment, and design the corresponding production methods and processes.
This aspect of the work does not need to be carried out by Nesta, because there are a large number of practitioners or part-time practitioners in the kingdom who can do this kind of work, and it is even feasible to package it into a competition task for the students to carry out.
As a result, it didn't take long for the ruling government to subcontract it, and the corresponding departments received a series of feasible plans, and then selected the best of the best, and awarded corresponding merits and awards to the individuals or groups responsible for the design, so that the republic once again had a group of elven citizens who were awarded 7th class basic merits.
After everything was in place, this series of schemes divided into surface and space, power, individual and collective, quickly entered the industrialization process under the overall planning of the brain, the operation of the molecular-level industrial machine tool, or the personal efforts of the high-level spellcaster, and built the 'factory of the manufacturing factory' in the central moon, and the 'factory' was built in the central moon, the surface of the home star, and the lost spacecraft of the outer star system.
The speed of construction can also be described as quite fast, and it almost took a few months to toss a complete industrial chain and start the production of new fusion furnaces at all levels.
Among them, the central moon is too important in itself, and the 'factory of factories' also needs the highest level of accuracy, so it is specially completed by the doppelgangers sent by Nesta;
With only five new 3,000-meter reactors, plus 15 new 1,000-meter reactors, and some undeployed reserve reactors, it has replaced and exceeded the energy scale that could be achieved by hundreds of older models.
In addition, since the seven 'lost' quasar fortresses could not be returned to their headquarters for renovation in the short to medium term, the replacement of the reactors inside and the construction of the corresponding manufacturing plants were also carried out remotely by projection from Nesta.
And when he completed all the special construction of these places, the effect achieved was immediate
The surplus space and surplus energy of the central moon have become more and more, and its control of itself, the three-star system, and the virtual realm has also become more comfortable due to the upgrading of energy and brain;
As a result, the maximum production capacity in reality has been increased by dozens of times, and it also has faster time acceleration ability and more realistic simulation effects in the virtual realm.
As a result, the 'Lost Base' has a wider range of energy options, and after that, they can only rely on the massive number of Element 1 carried by the stellar wind, and they can continue to operate well and for a long time, without having to collect or produce two isotopes as before;
In addition, several Lost Bases already have the ability to produce their own stacks of various types, and with the cooperation of the casters' projections, they can build the advanced base more quickly and perfectly when there is no physical spirit to arrive;
As a result, the migration journey of the home planet races will be able to be started more quickly, so that those stellar fields will become truly controlled territories.
As for the rest of the levels and the rest of the positions, Nesta didn't deliberately interfere anymore, but overall the effect was not bad;
Specifically
The fusion reactors at all levels will gradually replace the fission reactors in the next period of time due to their higher energy efficiency, easier fuel acquisition, and higher stability, and become the main inscription driving source for spacecraft in the future.
At the same time, the quasar fortresses that are currently located in various places will also return to their home planets in batches over a period of time, so that they can be replaced with old reactors and equipped with different levels of factory facilities as appropriate.
On the surface, the large, medium and small industrial chains, large, medium and small cities, and large, medium, small and micro settlements will gradually replace the past energy acquisition methods, and according to their respective energy consumption scale and orientation, they will either adopt a single reactor for direct energy supply or a multi-reactor for centralized energy supply.
All in all, the lunar microwave delivery mode with relatively high loss rate will be gradually replaced, while thunderstorm power plants, wind power stations, and tidal power stations, which are relatively low in terms of equipment maintenance and energy efficiency, will be gradually shut down.
In addition, the ten-meter pile will be open to individual use, especially those elves who live in isolation away from cities and settlements, so that they will have more living options and a more convenient life, provided that they are indeed willing to enjoy the natural scenery while also enjoying the convenience brought by high technology, rather than deliberately pursuing that primitive life.
For the former, there are naturally new products that focus on ultra-hypersonic, ultra-high endurance, ultra-convenience, and super-deformation, and integrate functions such as residences, training grounds, surface vehicles, and aircraft.
Although small and medium-sized reactors cannot operate on Element 1 as fuel, with the inexpensive energy output of large reactors, it is much easier to obtain the corresponding isotopes, whether it is refining in the home star or going to the four-orbited star to extract.
As a result, it didn't take long for this multi-functional device to become the new darling of the internal market, and even the elves who habitually live in the city would order one, and while waiting for production, they did not forget to urge the development and launch of the next generation of 'outer space multi-functional monomer spacecraft' as soon as possible.
As for the latter, that is, those elves who experience the primitive out of yearning or curiosity, no one will force them to return to the city and return to the modern era.
While the Republic is gradually completing this series of projects, Nesta's research on genetic cracking and speeding up the voyage ship has also reaped the fruits of the efforts of some clones and some thought threads.
