Chapter 506 Preparation

Since Lao Huang knew that Wang Bin and his family were also facing the threat of appearance civilization at this time, in recent years, Lao Huang has also sold a lot of technology to Wang Bin and others, and even some of the technology they got from Deno's descendants. Lao Huang and his family also sold it to Wang Bin and others without hesitation, hoping that Wang Bin and his family could defeat foreign civilizations.

"Old Huang! Although my world is also facing the threat of alien civilization at this time, the conditions you have put forward are unavoidable. After all, the conditions you have offered are really amazing. Not only did you take out millions of energy coins, but you also took out the first generation of super warrior technology from Deno's descendants to exchange for our Tiangong Technology's ion engine technology.

But Lao Huang, to be honest, you already have a controlled nuclear fusion engine with truly great thrust. What do you need to do if you can send more than 100,000 tons of spacecraft into space, and you still need an ion medium engine to do.

After all, compared to a nuclear-powered engine that can send more than 100,000 tons of spacecraft into space, the purpose of ionic medium engines is much smaller, and it is even unnecessary for you.

Even if our Tiangong Technology's latest ionic medium engine now has a thrust of about 200 tons in space, if placed in the atmosphere, its thrust is only about ten tons, and even the weight of the engine itself cannot be pushed, let alone sending the spacecraft into space."

After hearing Wang Bin's words, Lao Huang shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang, I think you must have paid any attention. Although I have developed a spacecraft that can send more than 100,000 tons of mass into space.

However, as for the controlled nuclear fusion engine technology we have mastered, it is still very immature, the thrust-to-weight ratio is still very low, and the consumption of nuclear fuel is also very huge.

Take the 110,000-ton aircraft carrier that we have just built hasn't been able to do for example. Although we have the ability to send this aircraft carrier into space, the engine part of this aircraft carrier occupies nearly half of the space and mass of the spacecraft.

The most important thing is that once the spacecraft is sent into space, the nuclear fuel carried by the spacecraft will be almost exhausted and must be refilled.

At the same time, according to our calculations, even if this spacecraft has a controlled nuclear fusion engine, its maximum speed cannot exceed one thousandth of the speed of light. At the same time, its range is very short, and at most it can only maintain the spacecraft's range from Earth to Mars.

However, ionic medium engines with high thrust are different. After all, compared with the immature controllable nuclear fusion engines we have developed, ionic engines are more suitable for space navigation.

Although the maximum thrust of the ion engine you developed seems to be only a few hundred tons and can only be used in the universe, compared with nuclear-powered engines, the ion engine consumes less energy and has a higher energy utilization rate, which can provide long-term and effective continuous power for the spacecraft.

If the energy utilization rate of the controlled nuclear fusion engine we developed is only one percent, then the energy utilization rate of the ion engine developed by your Tiangong Technology is definitely more than 80 percent.

The most important thing is that if the ionic engine has enough thrust, it can even support the spacecraft in sub-light navigation, which is absolutely impossible to achieve in the type of engine we currently have." Lao Huang said seriously.

Wang Bin naturally understood what Lao Huang said. In fact, this is why Tiangong Technology has focused on ionic engines in the past few years, rather than nuclear-powered engines.

After all, without a nuclear-powered engine, large spacecraft cannot be sent to space. Wang Bin and others can completely build spacecraft in the universe. After all, human civilization now has so many space stations. It has fully the ability to build spacecraft in space, let alone build on the moon.

After all, the moon is not the earth. Not only is the gravity only one-sixth of the earth, but it also does not exist unprecedentedly. Ion engines can fully exert their due thrust.

Of course, the focus is not on the controllable nuclear fusion engine, which does not mean that Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology have completely abandoned the original production in this regard.

On the contrary, in terms of harsh environments, Wang Bin and his team have been conducting research and development, whether it is back to the engine or the reactor.

Regardless of the nuclear power engine, Tiangong Technology focuses more on the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion reactors, especially in the miniaturization of controllable nuclear fusion reactors. It has invested huge manpower and material resources to carry out research and development, and has also achieved considerable achievements.

Take the first generation of controlled nuclear fusion reactors they developed before, which have a power of only about ten megawatts, but their volume and weight are very large and cannot be used on small spacecraft at all.

However, after three years of development, their Tiangong Technology has been able to manufacture reactor units with a power of more than 100 megawatts, and in terms of volume, it is smaller than the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion reactors.

As for the 10-megawatt-level controlled nuclear fusion reactor, its volume has been reduced to less than five cubic meters, and its overall weight has been reduced to less than thirty tons.

In addition, there is also cold nuclear fusion technology, which has developed very rapidly in recent years. After all, if you have mastered the principles, Tiangong Technology is definitely capable of making breakthroughs in a short period of time. Of course, this is also because Wang Bin purchased a large amount of technology in the mall.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to make breakthroughs on the original basis without five or six years, let alone greater results.

At the same time, Wang Bin already has plans for the use of cold nuclear fusion technology.

Although even now, the maximum energy generated by cold nuclear fusion is only less than 1 megawatt, which is very different from the energy output of hundreds of gigaways when thermonuclear fusion is often produced.

It is planned that cold nuclear fusion has its own absolute advantage, that is, the size of the cold nuclear fusion reaction device is very small, so it is difficult to have a reactor of 0.8 megawatts, its volume is only less than one cubic meter and its weight is less than one ton.
