Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

The 20 old human employees returned to the ocean liner, took off their working exoskeletons, and washed their sweaty bodies.

"Jessica, do you want to eat together?"

Jessica, who was brushing her hair, didn't respond, but took her coat and walked outside.

The man seemed to have gotten used to the coldness of the other party. In fact, he knew that Jessica looked down on him. This was a very obvious natural instinct.

Most of the young females of the old humans tend to be males of the new humans. This is the original instinct of the genes. Females like strong males. This phenomenon becomes more obvious when the new humans completely crush the old humans.

Even the parents of many old humans are instilling in their daughters that they cannot marry the old humans and must marry new humans.

Combining with new humans means that the social class and life level have been improved. Few loves can not succumb to bread. The reality is often so cruel.

Chapter 3 Multiple Nuclear Fusion

After Blue Star's second purification battle ended, Huang Mingzhe had been busy with meetings, and it was only in October that he had time to devote himself to scientific research projects.

The project Huang Mingzhe is working on now is called "multiple controllable nuclear fusion reactors", which is an advanced version of controllable nuclear fusion reactors.

Under the circumstances that antimatter cannot be produced on a large scale, multiple controllable nuclear fusion is the next stage of energy technology for new humans.

Inside the Lianhuashan nuclear research and development base in Lingnan.

Huang Mingzhe was in the laboratory with Wei Feng, Dong Kuan and others.

Rows of nuclear fusion reaction formulas and structural improvements to the controllable nuclear fusion reactor appeared on the virtual display.

Dong Kuan stopped helplessly and said: "Now we can only fuse hydrogen nuclei to the carbon atom stage, and there is still a very long distance from iron atoms."

"We must improve the nuclear fusion reactor. In the future era of great interstellar voyages, if we can only fuse deuterium nuclear fusion to carbon atoms, the utilization efficiency of nuclear fuel is too low." Huang Mingzhe is very firm.

This project was established by him personally. Although the particle collider in Xi'an can produce antimatter, the antihydrogen they have collected so far is only a pitiful 0.000026 mg.

Even the super-large particle collider that is going to be built on the moon is estimated to be able to produce up to 0.02-0.03 mg of antihydrogen per year.

This little amount of antihydrogen is useless at all, and it is considered too little to use for experiments. As for generating energy, the new human beings may suffer until they lose their pants.

Before the output of antimatter reaches one kilogram, nuclear fusion technology is still the most advanced energy production technology for new humans.

"From DD nuclear fusion to carbon atoms, the energy production efficiency has actually been improved a lot." Wei Feng feels that it has reached a bottleneck period.

Huang Mingzhe touched the stubble of his chin, and after thinking for a long time: "We have to start from two aspects. On the one hand, we need to improve the power generation efficiency of the nuclear fusion reactor, that is, the heat utilization rate and the light utilization rate."

"That makes sense." Dong Kuan nodded.

Everyone else understands this truth. At present, the energy recombination utilization rate of the Jinwu nuclear fusion reactor is as high as 76.53-77.21%, which means that 22.79-23.47% of the energy is wasted.

We must know that the controllable nuclear fusion power generation of new humans in Blue Star alone has reached 127 trillion kwh.

After entering outer space on a large scale in the future, the application scale of controllable nuclear fusion will be even larger, and this waste is very huge.

Wei Feng suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I remember that there was an energy siphon system on the heart of the Nibelung I obtained before. How is the research?"

Huang Mingzhe shook his head and replied: "The material research has already analyzed it, but the problem is that there is no way to synthesize it. The laboratory has tried many methods, but they are all at a loss."

"What material is so difficult to get?" Dong Kuan was very surprised.

With the current material technology of new humans, as long as there are samples in hand, there should be no problem in replicating them.

"You will understand after reading it." After Huang Mingzhe finished speaking, he shared a top-secret document with the two of them.

Wei Feng glanced at it, and began to study it carefully. After a while, he shook his head with a wry smile: "I understand."

"It's no wonder it's an 8-neutron material." Dong Kuan suddenly realized.

The so-called 8-neutron material is an atom purely composed of 8 neutrons. This is a special atom that has been guessed by the new human academic circles but has not been confirmed to exist—pure neutron atoms.

Huang Mingzhe spread his hands and said: "You understand now! We have no way to reverse engineer for the time being, because pure neutron materials are a new field."

After deleting the file casually, Wei Feng asked: "Pure neutron material Mingzhe, I think this is a general direction in the future, what is the scientific committee's attitude towards this?"

"I've discussed it with other people, and I've increased my investment in this area." Huang Mingzhe is not a fool.

With the Nibelung Heart in hand, if he doesn't pay attention to research in this area, then he is not worthy to be the chairman of the Science Committee.

Everyone brought the topic back to nuclear fusion.

At present, it is possible to fuse heavy hydrogen atoms to carbon atoms, and there is not much improvement in energy production.

The atomic weight of a heavy hydrogen atom is 2.016, that of a helium atom is 4.003, that of a carbon atom is 12.011, and that of an iron atom is 55.845.

84 heavy hydrogen (169.344) = 42 helium atoms (168.126)

84 heavy hydrogens (169.344) = 14 carbon atoms (168.154)

78个重氢（157.248）+12个中子（12.084）＝3个铁原子（167.535）

From the above reaction raw materials to the final product of the reaction, it can be seen that heavy hydrogen → helium and heavy hydrogen → carbon, the mass loss in these two processes is heavy hydrogen → helium is more than heavy hydrogen → carbon.

According to tests conducted by Huang Mingzhe and others on the Jinwu nuclear fusion reactor, the energy output power of the nuclear fusion reaction has only increased by 4.36-4.61% at the carbon atom stage.

And if the iron atom stage can be reacted, it is estimated that the energy output power can be increased by 50-60%.

The difference between the two is so great that the carbon atom stage is just a transitional stage.

Of course, this does not mean that the carbon atom stage is useless. The carbon stage does not necessarily need to use heavy hydrogen as nuclear fuel. Helium, lithium, etc. can also be used as nuclear fuel.

As nuclear fusion gets closer to iron atoms, it means that there are more types of nuclear fuel elements that can be used, and more types of nuclear fuel can be used, which can improve the convenience of spacecraft replenishment in outer space.

After all, there are a lot of elements before iron atoms in the universe, even in the empty interstellar space, there are more or less free hydrogen atoms and helium atoms.

For example, the amount of helium 3 brought out by the solar wind is very large.

No matter how bad it is, there are still asteroids that can be captured and used as nuclear fuel supplies.

Huang Mingzhe encouraged: "Let's work harder. Anyway, there are a lot of scientific researchers now. I don't believe that the new humans with hundreds of millions of engineers and scientists will be weaker than the poor and white 60s."

"That's true." Dong Kuan replied with a smile.

Now the engineers and scientists of the new human beings are the main body of the social personnel.

At present, the number of registered engineers and scientists has reached as many as 4.6 million, and there are still many who have not had time to be certified, or have no interest in certification at all.

So many engineers and scientists are now invested in thousands of large and small fields. On average, tens of thousands of engineers and scientists can be allocated to a project.

Compared with the 60s and [-]s of the last century, not only has there been a qualitative leap in quantity, but also in terms of personnel quality, new humans equipped with biological computers can almost beat ten.

If they still can't come up with any tricks, they can just buy a piece of tofu and kill them.
