In any case, the hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor was started, and the researchers who came over witnessed a hot and dense ball of light igniting in the center of the origin of the central part of the reactor, gradually filling the entire reactor interior, and was firmly held by the three-layer structure.
Restraint. "100 million degrees Celsius, 200 million degrees Celsius, 300 million degrees Celsius."
Through special spectral performance, they judged the temperature inside the reaction pair.
At the same time, because the atomic-level materials are extremely strong, Cao Chuan also ensured a very high pressure in the constrained space. , thereby reducing the conditions for fusion energy and easily stimulating stable and controllable fusion energy.
“It’s actually working,” the researchers exclaimed.
After such a long time, humans have finally reached this point, which makes people sigh with emotion 100 times.
Cao Chuan is still staring at the hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor.
Such a big thing is not stable enough.
As the person who implemented it, of course he knows how unsafe it is.
Sure enough, on the third day of operation of the fusion energy reactor, there was an earth-shattering sound.
On the outskirts of Planet 3, the hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor exploded.
A fusion energy reactor contains at least 10,000 times or a million times more raw materials than a nuclear warhead.
Therefore, once out of control, even if it comes into contact with the outside world, it will suddenly stop due to insufficient temperature and pressure.
Because the energy accumulated before is too huge, the explosion will still cause Very horrific injuries.
The land with a radius of 30 kilometers was opened up, and the reactor prototype, which cost as much as 500 billion, was reduced to ruins.
Only a small amount of atomic-level materials and dark matter materials could be recycled, and nothing else was left.
As for the place 20 kilometers away from the center of the explosion, it was where Cao Chuan was standing at the time.
Even though he was so far away, he was instantly buried in several kilometers of soil and was repeatedly crushed by hundreds of tons of force per unit area.
So, he almost died.
Yes, almost all of his bones were shattered.
This was the first time he suffered such a rapid attack.
He finally experienced the feeling of death approaching, but at the same time.
He survived, but had to rest for a while.
As for the rest of the researchers, they were farther away at that time and were safer than themselves.
There were only dozens of people with fractures, concussions, and organ exceptions, none of which were as serious as mine.
Otherwise, if all the researchers in the basic science team are wiped out, it will be a disaster for Dongyinhe Company.
The Free Lighthouse Country and the Night Rabbit Country had many examples before, and he did not want to repeat the same mistakes.
The prototype test failed, and Cao Chuan didn't look particularly depressed.
"Then let's learn from this lesson and build a new fusion energy reactor."
Another 500 billion was invested.
In Cao Chuan's eyes, currency became a mere number.
Unless someone tells him that this is the annual salary of tens of millions of people.
He will be touched.
However, the effort to study the world's top technology is nothing at all.
Besides, he already has rules for simulation.
Otherwise, he will consume trillions and more time.
Lessons learned.
Starting over, the process of building the reactor was slow.
Half a year later, the construction of the second prototype was completed, and this time the reactor finally stopped exploding.
Looking at the power generation alone, the total is 500 million kilowatt-hours.
The power generation capacity of the same country is almost the same, and this reactor is only a power source for the star-studded spacecraft, but it is still too large.
In fact, after the hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor is completed, it will definitely not only be used for spaceships, but will also be used in the traditional energy field.
However, the third-generation spacecraft will reap the most benefits from it, so it has no choice but to solve the problem here.
"Then, the rest should be miniaturized."
Cao Chuan thought, even the smaller Morning Star couldn't accommodate this big guy.

Could it be said that all starship-level spacecraft will be launched in the future?
It sounds good.
In fact, Dongyinhe Company cannot afford it.
It takes at least 5 years to build a starship, and the price is in the trillions.
If it is disassembled into a larger number of spaceships, how much economy will it create in 5 years?
Value Cao Chuan is not a profiteer, and he still calculates his accounts clearly.
"Mr.
Consultant, can you leave the problem to us to solve?"
The researchers below were eager to give it a try.
They thought that the hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor had been released long ago, and shrinking would make it simpler.
"I'm sorry about the miniaturization thing.
I've thought about it and actually have a solution."
Cao Chuan said an answer that disappointed but pleased the researchers.
They took a breath and said, "Then the method is" Within half a year, Cao Chuan led a group of coolie researchers to build a hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactor that was scaled down to a size of 100 meters.
Next, they tested the effect of loading the reactor on a spacecraft.
"Energy consumption is stable and raw materials are continuously replenished."
"Hydrogen-helium fusion energy really has a good appetite, and it can eat anything."
The employees sighed.
Think about it, they initially had to squeeze out a tiny amount of helium 3 from a large amount of dust, and gradually progressed to using nearly 1,000 helium 3 from the ocean.
One-third of deuterium, and now we can use hydrogen and helium, the two most common elements in the universe, you will understand what a big change it is.
"Continue to observe" Cao Chuan ordered.
"The output is stable and the speed increases to 10,000 kilometers per second and 20,000 kilometers per second."
There are no people in the prototype spacecraft, so it can be accelerated at will.
Atomic-level materials and equipment can handle the speed of 1000g.
In less than a few hours, the speed of the spacecraft reaches the speed limit of 150,000 kilometers per second for the third generation spacecraft.
Unless the atomic speed is solved Level materials must be mass-produced, otherwise the speed will no longer be improved.
"What about energy consumption?"
"Without starting the Higgs particle generator and protective force field, the energy consumption is less than 5."
"Well, it won't be a problem to fly for a few years."
Cao Chuan said, "In this case, all tests have passed, let us gradually install new reactors for the starship spacecraft."
The following cheered.
The new reactors will be gradually and selectively upgraded.
The core factor this time is not that the price is high, but that the raw materials for hydrogen and helium fusion energy will be extremely cheap.
Hydrogen and helium can be seen everywhere, which will cause market turmoil and harm the general public who are eager to launch.
It will be myself.
Secondly, only in long-distance voyages of more than 10 light-years can hydrogen-helium fusion energy show its advantages and be able to adapt to the rich cosmic environment.
Only some fleets in the exploration department, combat department, and trade department can operate like this.
Far.
Cao Chuan, who is not in a hurry, plans to spend 20 years to achieve a penetration rate of 50% of hydrogen-helium fusion energy reactors.
Now that hydrogen-helium fusion can solve the problem, he will study the more difficult acceleration problem.
As long as it is solved, the third generation spacecraft can be born
