Chapter 572 Energy Issues
With the successful development and test flight of this space fighter by Tiangong Technology, the mass production of this space fighter naturally began. Fortunately, since the production of this space fighter can use the production line of aerospace planes, there is no need to develop the production line in terms of production lines, which greatly reduces the workload.
However, compared to the space fighter jets, whether it is Wang Bin himself, Qin Lao and other people from other space agencies in the world, what they are most concerned about is the first spacecraft developed by Tiangong Technology.
However, it is regrettable that since Tiangong Technology's spacecraft design drawings have been changed again and again, the construction work is also difficult, so if you want to see the real spacecraft go offline, you have to wait for a while.
After all, a real spacecraft is not an airplane in the atmosphere or aerospace plane. So far, the entire human civilization has not yet built a real space warship.
Therefore, everything can only be crossed by feeling the stones, and can only use warships in the sea as reference objects. Of course, not all warships can be used as reference objects. After all, ordinary warships or ships are no longer sufficient to be reference objects for space warships. Of course, to a certain extent, you can also refer to space warships in science fiction works.
However, since the volume of Tiangong Technology's first space warship is not very large, even after repeated modifications, the volume data of the current space warship is much larger than the original drawings, and even the overall weight has exceeded the weight of all the existing single space stations of human civilization. The overall weight has reached 5,000 tons. However, compared with the weight volume of millions or even tens of millions or hundreds of millions of tons in science fiction works, it is still far from that of millions or hundreds of millions of tons.
At the same time, with the current technological level of human civilization, it is impossible to have the ability to build such a huge space warship. Even the 5,000-ton space warship that Tiangong Technology is now building is already very difficult. After all, this is the first space warship in human civilization!
While Wang Bin was thinking about how to speed up the manufacturing of space warships, Mr. Qin walked in from outside Wang Bing's office and saw Wang Bing thinking about something, he asked him: "Mr. Wang! Our space planes and space fighter test flights have been successful. I wonder what else can you be upset about, Mr. Wang. Could it be the production line problem of these two aircraft?
I remember you said before that the production of these two aircraft is not a problem. Even if the space fighter jets are sent into space, it is no longer a problem now?"
"No? Mr. Qin! It's not that our Tiangong Technology cannot produce spacecraft and space fighter jets in terms of production lines, but it's a little annoyed. The construction speed of the space warships produced by our Tiangong Technology is too slow. After all, if there are space warships, then our Mars plan can be carried out." Wang Bin said.
"Mr. Wang! I want me to tell you! Your Tiangong Technology is really too greedy. If you Tiangong Technology can build according to the original drawings, then how can you wait until now?
After all, if you follow the original plan, the total weight of your Tiangong Technology space warship is only about 1,000 tons, and the total length is only about 100 meters. But you Tiangong Technology are still not satisfied with this, and you have changed the drawings of the space warship! Until now, your Tiangong Technology has changed the drawings five or six times!
If I follow the original drawings, I think it has been completed!" said Mr. Qin!
"Old Qin! Although I also want to create a real space warship as soon as possible, I don't think you want the first space warship built by our human civilization to be just a defective product!
It is precisely because of this that our Tiangong Technology has changed the drawings of the space warship and wanted to do it perfectly! However, this time it has finally been finalized and will not modify the spaceship!" Wang Bin said.
After hearing Wang Bin's words, Mr. Qin nodded. After all, he also hoped that Tiangong Technology's space warship could be perfect. After all, as Wang Bin said, this is the first space warship of human civilization.
"By the way, Mr. Wang! I don't know if your Tiangong Technology has the ability to extract helium 3. Although we have successfully logged into the moon with the help of your Tiangong Technology, Mr. Wang, and have also established a base on the moon, and at the same time, we are also mining lunar resources, including helium 3.
However, although we are already mining helium 3, although we are already mining helium 3, after our technical personnel research, we want to develop a large-scale refining and purifying helium 3. But we know that so far, we have not been successful in extracting helium 3, so I want to ask!
After all, we have mastered the controlled nuclear fusion technology, but if there is no helium 3, then we will not have nuclear fusion materials. Then I think you know the consequences, Mr. Wang, you also know the consequences!" said Mr. Qin.
Wang Bin is naturally very second in the importance of helium 3 to the current human civilization. After all, the controllable nuclear fusion technology of human civilization is built on helium 3. If there is no helium 3, it is impossible to build a controllable nuclear fusion reactor.
Of course, Wang Bin believes that Mr. Qin and others have already solved the technology extracted in the laboratory. After all, if it cannot be extracted from the laboratory, it will be impossible for Mr. Qin and others to develop controllable nuclear fusion technology.
So Wang Bin nodded and said, "Is helium 3 extraction technology? Our Tiangong Technology is indeed studying it, but it can only carry out small-scale mass production, but it cannot achieve large-scale mass production.
However, I think that even small-scale mass production is enough for today's human civilization. As for large-scale mass production, our Tiangong Technology is still under development.
After all, mass production is not a simple matter!”
After all, since Tiangong Technology landed on the moon, it has been developing and improving existing controlled nuclear fusion technologies, including controlled nuclear fusion fuel, that is, helium 3 extraction technology.
However, the extraction of helium 3 is indeed not that easy. Even Tiangong Technology encountered many difficulties during the research and development process, let alone others. It was beyond Wang Bin's expectation that Mr. Qin and his team were able to extract controllable nuclear fusion helium 3 material in the laboratory.
"That's good! That's good! Otherwise, if there was no Helium 3, even if we had controlled nuclear fusion technology, we would not be able to create a controllable nuclear fusion reactor!" After hearing Wang Bin's words, Mr. Qin was relieved.
Then Mr. Qin said, "By the way, Mr. Wang! As we are human civilization, the pace of entering space is getting faster and faster, so major space stations, including our official space stations, have also become increasingly demanding for energy. Relying solely on the solar sails brought by the space station is no longer enough to provide energy for the space station. So some of us have proposed to build a nuclear power plant in the space station. Of course, it is not a controllable nuclear fusion nuclear power plant, but a nuclear fission power plant. However, many people have opposed this, so we are preparing to hold a special meeting. I hope Mr. Wang, you can also participate!" Mr. Qin said.
