Half-immortal civilization

Extracting a few tubes with a thickness of hundreds of meters is really a drop in the bucket compared to a large gaseous planet with a diameter of more than tens of thousands of kilometers, but this time it is an experiment, so there is no need to worry. , When the test is confirmed to be feasible, it will be the turn of these large gaseous planets to be unlucky!In fact, up to now, Zhang Jingyuan believes that the test has been basically successful; the next test is more about the energy acquisition method and reliability of the spacecraft itself.

At this moment, Boss Zhang and various scientists are in a large virtual laboratory with a scale of 1:100; (There are still some scientists who are thin.) The most important thing is - at a glance, you can directly observe the various positions of the entire system. Once there is a problem, you can find it and correct it immediately.

There is a virtual screen next to it, which displays some specific data, and there are also digital displays at some key pipeline positions.

Without the guidance of scientists, Zhang Jingyuan can understand that the "liquid" here is light blue overall, but it can also be seen that there are many impurities in it, which need to be screened and filtered.The temperature of the liquid is not as cold as imagined, but reaches more than 500 degrees. It is no wonder that there are so many lightnings on the surface of gaseous planets. High temperature is the embodiment of energy concentration, just like Venus in history. The main gas, but because the temperature is as high as more than 400 degrees, or even close to 500 degrees, it is also thunder and lightning.

The pressure on the pipeline shows that the pressure here is as high as 5000 times the standard atmospheric pressure. It is such a huge pressure that these unruly hydrogen, helium, etc. are compressed into liquid.

The "water pipe" with a diameter of hundreds of meters is rapidly pumping, and its flow rate is no less than that of the Yangtze River; countless liquids are rumbled into huge centrifuges; centrifuges are the simplest, most reliable, and cheapest equipment .On the choice of human's initial nuclear material.It is purified using a centrifuge.

The centrifuge here is divided into three parts. The first part separates liquid hydrogen--this process reduces the volume of the liquid by about 60%; the second part separates liquid helium-after this process, the liquid The volume is less than 5% remaining; the third part is to separate the ammonia gas!Don't underestimate ammonia, it is an important raw material in the space age, artificial protein, plant catalysis, various chemical raw materials, etc.Ammonia gas is required.

It's not that no one would think of coming to gaseous planets to separate ammonia, but the cost is relatively high, so it's better to use a factory to synthesize it honestly;
As for the remaining small amounts of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulfide, etc., which are directly discharged into the upper atmosphere, these things are useful, but human resources are already in excess; as long as there are life activities on the spacecraft , the above things are not missing.

Watching three different liquids being sorted into huge piggy tanks and then sent to the small world for storage, Zhang Jingyuan also felt a sense of accomplishment.The power of science and technology is already so powerful that human beings can exploit all planetary resources unscrupulously!Yes.All Planetary Resources!As of now, whether it is a gaseous planet, a rocky planet, a frozen planet, etc., as long as humans think it is valuable, they can directly open their greedy mouths and take a bite!
Suddenly, Zhang Jingyuan thought of a question, and turned to look at Li Yuzhang next to him, "By the way, brother, why don't you build the nuclear reactor in a small space? Isn't it more space-saving?"

Li Yuzhang shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to. It's that the small space is unstable! This small space itself is captured into temporary spaces one by one; it's no problem to use this space as a warehouse. But if there are violent energy activities inside, It will tear the space. This point, we have repeatedly verified, and even conducted several experiments, and almost caused a disaster.

For now, small spaces can only be used as storage spaces.But it is enough, there are 5 small spaces on this spaceship to store hydrogen and helium.At saturation, more than 100 cubic kilometers can be stored.

In order to be safe and stable, and to consider the impact of outer space, the small space on the spacecraft is 30 kilometers, instead of using the largest small space of more than 100 kilometers. Although 30 kilometers is smaller, its safety and stability are currently the highest.Even in such a small space.It can only be simply transformed into a living space; but considering safety and escape in times of danger, it can only be used as a storage space for the time being. "

Zhang Jingyuan nodded; now that technology is developing so fast, even Zhang Jingyuan can't understand all the situation, he can only roughly know the extent of a certain technology, but he can't do anything about the specific details.

But Li Yuzhang’s explanation did not end. “According to our calculations, 60 cubic kilometers of hydrogen and helium reserves are enough for the current spaceship to complete the interstellar migration. If we consider population reproduction, expansion, material consumption, emergency Circumstances, etc., 100 cubic kilometers are completely competent without pressure! Theoretically, such a spaceship can be filled with hydrogen and helium at one time without additional energy replenishment, and can fly directly to the Andromeda galaxy; even including necessary battles energy.

In this way, useful energy blocks can be applied to military and other aspects as much as possible.

And we have a plan, which is to bring China back to the era of nuclear energy in the next ten years. There are two benefits of this:
The first is to promote the development of related nuclear technology; the second is to save a lot of energy blocks!According to the current data, after 500 years, the country's energy block reserves will increase by at least 50%!This has already calculated the consumption of building a large number of nuclear reactors. "

"Back to the era of nuclear energy?" Zhang Jingyuan chewed these words repeatedly, feeling a little speechless for a while. Is this a step backward of the times?When the Chinese civilization already had the potential to impact the sixth-level civilization, it suddenly ordered the whole country to go back to the age of nuclear energy...

This is so weird!But I have to say, it's a good suggestion.

Moreover, the current nuclear energy is not the same as that of thousands of years ago—it uses electricity, but produces energy blocks and then starts to use them; The way of energy is still the technology of the energy block era—in other words, it is a national strategy.It has no impact on citizens at all; perhaps because of the re-popularization of nuclear energy, China has now entered a new era of "non-energy saving".

There is no shortage of hydrogen and helium in space!

It didn't take long for a good circulation to be formed in the test spacecraft, and the extracted hydrogen and helium began to replace the original hydrogen and helium, and smoothly entered the nuclear reactor to start working; with sufficient fresh blood injected, the speed of the nuclear reactor doubled again !With today's technology, the energy usage of nuclear reactors can be as high as 95%.The rest is mainly dissipated in the form of heat, which is just used to heat the spacecraft-flying in space, maintaining temperature is a very important thing.

The entire experiment lasted for one month, and the spacecraft took off and landed repeatedly during this process, and entered the "ocean" of the large gaseous planet ten times to absorb energy, and verified the design and collected data through repeated experiments.

"The whole plan is perfect!" Until this moment, Li Yuzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, we can build such a spaceship from now on. Such a spaceship is mainly used to collect hydrogen and helium existing in the universe. Provide the country with Alternative energy reserves; we also need to build a large number of nuclear energy facilities among the people to produce and store energy blocks.

The sooner the better, we are now in a race against time! "

Nodding, Zhang Jingyuan didn't say anything, in fact Zhang Jingyuan himself was already moved!As long as the last few data still need to be reviewed by the relevant departments of the empire.After all, Zhang Jingyuan is just a behind-the-scenes figure, and the development of science and technology is also a rigorous matter, especially in the case of promoting a certain technology, this is really not something that can be slapped on the head.

In madness.The Empire passed its 2900th birthday (imperial calendar), and it was at the end of the year.The Empire made a crazy decision publicly: go back to the age of nuclear energy!
Well, this is the understanding of ordinary citizens. In fact, the public documents of the empire say: use nuclear energy to supplement the lack of energy.After that, of course, there are various introductions about nuclear energy, why to use nuclear energy, how to use it, and so on.

Mining gaseous planets, collecting hydrogen and helium, and developing new nuclear energy became the slogan of the people for a while.People are just as crazy!
because.In order to develop nuclear energy and alleviate energy pressure, the country has finally opened up the energy that has been strictly controlled in its hands to the public!In fact, it doesn't work if you don't open it.

In the past, the main source of energy blocks was the star collar technology, and the construction of star collars was obviously not affordable for ordinary people and companies; so the empire indirectly controlled energy in the hands of the country.It can also be regarded as a means of restriction.But nuclear energy is different. With the current level of technology in China, middle school students can design a nuclear reactor, and they are guaranteed to have their own characteristics; The technology of "sealing" with electromagnetic field energy is also open to the public.

In the space age, energy = currency!No matter how depreciated the energy is, there is endless energy in space!

Private capital is crazy!This kind of madness, even the empire did not expect it!
In the second year after the statement was issued, that is, after a one-year gestation period, [-]% of the large gaseous planets in the empire's territory were already in the mining state, and almost all the rest were reserved; even the mining rights of the gaseous planets in the empire's territory were auctioned , It has increased the country's income considerably.And there are even more people who directly form a group to mine outside the territory of the empire. Although the distance is far away, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of private entrepreneurs unite and can actually build a subspace gate by themselves!

By the year 2910 in the Imperial Calendar, ten years after the policy was made public, the entire Chinese Empire had completely undergone earth-shaking changes!The people have brought new vitality to this empire with their wisdom!
All kinds of spaceships shuttle in space, some are of traditional shape, some are like peanuts, some are like gourds, some are slender, some are flat, and some are like pearl plates - one after another is raised, and some are like pearl plates. Some are in the shape of snowflakes, and some are directly a huge hollow ring...

But all these new spacecraft are spacecraft with nuclear reactors installed.Some of them are mining ships, some are transport ships, and some are space energy factories—such as those in the shape of pearl disks and snowflakes, and they are directly aggregates of tens of thousands of nuclear reactors, which output countless energy blocks every day!
And because of the large amount of nuclear energy utilization, gaseous planets have encountered unprecedented blows. In the past, humans directly let go of gaseous planets and only mined solid planets. As a result, gaseous planets have become sought-after pearls (the gaseous planets with rich surface colors are really Much like pearls), companies often sue for ownership of gaseous planets!Of course there are many gaseous planets, but there are more people!
As for the folks, after the empire implemented an energy saving plan for more than 200 years, it finally lifted the ban again, and the planets once again returned to the colors of feasting and feasting.

By the year 2950 in the imperial calendar, the country's energy block reserve rate had more than doubled!This made all the upper echelons of the empire breathe a sigh of relief!The power of the people is really too powerful; the crazy power of the people is even stronger than the power directly controlled by the state; this is unexpected, but it is also a surprise!
