Dahan Technology Empire

Chapter 11, Energy Issues

Boss, how's the mecha research going? Liu Qingquan had just left the Chang'an Space City Research Institute, and Jiang Zhipeng, the person in charge of Chang'an Space City, had already come over.

It was built, but it's useless now, and can only be a porter in space! Liu Qingquan shook his head, very dissatisfied with the fate of the Kwafu mecha being only a porter for the time being, but Now it seems that it is really only used for transportation.

hāhā, just now Mo Qingming boasted to me about the power of the mecha. I thought how powerful it was, but it turned out to be the life of a porter! Hearing this, Jiang Zhipeng couldn't help laughing.

The power of the mecha is undeniable, he didn't brag about it, but our technology is not up to the mark for the time being, and there are really not many places where it can be used, but it's a pity that it's a good figure! Hearing this, Liu Qingquan also said with a smile.

Stop talking about this, boss, I came to see you today because there is something I need to discuss with you! Jiang Zhipeng put away his hippie smile and took out his state at work.

Say something straight!

It's such a boss. With the expansion of Chang'an City and the start of the second phase of the large-scale space factory, our energy resources are getting more and more tight, and many times we need to rely on the ground to supply energy, which has begun to affect our space. progress, so I want to apply to you for a new energy project!

Jiang Zhipeng stated the main purpose of looking for Liu Qingquan today, that is, the energy of Chang'an Space City is not enough, Boss Liu, please think of a way.

Don't Chang'an Space City have two nuclear fusion power centers? Logically speaking, there should be no worries about energy! Liu Qingquan asked suspiciously. When Chang'an City was designed, it was designed on both sides of Chang'an City. Nuclear fusion power can provide energy, and also drive Chang'an City to move in space!

Boss, the power of nuclear fusion is very strong, but at present we mainly use electricity. Nuclear fusion must be converted into electricity before it can be used in other places. It cannot be directly used to propel the flight of spacecraft like nuclear fusion engines. This is converted into electricity and there is a lot of loss, and the efficiency is not too high.”

In addition, our power generation technology still relies on cutting magnetic fields to generate power, so even if we have a powerful nuclear fusion technology, it is still limited by power generation technology, and the energy source is very tight. I estimate that the space city will develop again. Go down, we really don't have enough electricity!

Jiang Zhipeng explained the cause and effect. This time, Liu Qingquan suddenly realized that nuclear fusion is a fork, and it is very powerful to use it to propel the spacecraft. However, when it is converted into electrical energy, the loss is very large, and the efficiency of conversion very low.

First, the thermal energy generated by nuclear fusion drives the mechanical conversion into mechanical energy, and then mechanically cuts the magnetic field and converts it into electrical energy. The loss can be imagined. In addition, as Jiang Zhipeng said, the current technology that relies on cutting magnetic fields to produce electricity has nothing to do with 100 years ago. The difference, power generation technology is very backward.

How much electricity can Chang'an Space City produce in a year? How much electricity does it need to use? Liu Qingquan thought for a while. He had many advanced power generation technologies in his mind, but none of the goals were suitable, and there was an insurmountable gap in technology. , or ask the situation first.

Our annual electricity consumption is about 150 billion hours, but we can barely meet it at present, and we have to rely on the ground to deliver some energy. In the future, our second phase of the space factory will start construction, and the Mars exploration spacecraft will start construction. Construction, when the energy will be very tight! It can even be said that there is no way to carry out the next step, especially the second phase of the space factory, the power consumption of this factory can be comparable to now.”

Jiang Zhipeng is very familiar with everything in Chang'an City, and at the same time, he expressed his inner worries, this energy is really not enough!

To know that space is not the ground, everything needs electricity to maintain operation,

Huge amounts of energy are consumed all the time, especially the systems that maintain the production environment, the space laboratory, and the space factory.

Chang'an Space City's annual electricity consumption of 150 billion terawatt hours is very close to Shanghai's annual electricity consumption, but how big is Shanghai, Chang'an Space City is simply insignificant compared to Shanghai.

However, in terms of electricity consumption, Chang'an Space City is not much less than Shanghai, which naturally includes Shanghai's industrial electricity consumption. It can be seen how terrifying the power consumption of Chang'an Space City is. Everything All rely on electricity to maintain operation.

Space shuttles that rise and fall, laboratories that consume a lot of power, huge and rigorous living systems, and space factories that consume the most power, all of them are power-eating monsters, if Qingquan Technology has nuclear fusion power. Generating electricity is simply not working.

But even if two sets of nuclear fusion power are installed to generate electricity, it has not been able to meet the daily electricity demand, especially the second phase of the larger space factory that is about to start construction. The scale of this space factory will be comparable to the current one The city of Chang'an; and the Mars exploration spacecraft to be started at the same time, which is also a big guy, and the power consumption is also very huge.

All of a sudden, the problem of energy came to Jiang Zhipeng, making Jiang Zhipeng have to try his best to meet the development needs of the space city.

You must know why only Qingquan Technology can build such a large space city in the world at present, and other big hooligans can only play with small things like space stations, although compared with the previous space stations, the current space station is somewhat different. Feels like a small castle.

However, compared to the Chang'an City of Qingquan Technology, it is not even a dwarf. Restrictions, the space station energy of the major rogues is also very tight, they do not have such advanced technology as Qingquan Technology.

What method are you going to use to solve this problem? Liu Qingquan frowned, he couldn't think of any hǎode solution to this energy problem for a while, and he didn't know what idea Jiang Zhipeng and others would have.

Boss, our method is actually very simple, and we don't need any skills. You can guess it! Jiang Zhipeng smiled slightly and sold it off. There are not many things that Liu Qingquan can't think of!

It's very simple and doesn't require any technology? I really can't think of it, can you give me a hint? Liu Qingquan thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly.

Boss, look outside, the core of the entire solar system, think again about that huge fireball!
