After receiving Liu Yuan's order, Wang Wei did not delay, and immediately gave instructions to the people around him.
"Yes~"
The scientists and researchers in the laboratory were all excited. All kinds of detection instruments were turned on. At the same time, high-definition cameras were aimed at the core area, preparing to record everything in front of them for the convenience of the scientists.
Will study it later.
"ignition!"
Soon, following an order from the radio, the huge ignition device started to activate.
At the source of the ignition device, a laser beam containing powerful energy was shot out, and then it was quickly split into two, then two into four, and quickly split into thousands of beams.
Thousands of light beams each pass through the enhancement device, and the energy they carry and contain continues to increase and become stronger and stronger. After passing through the enhancement stage.
Thousands of laser beams burst out with dazzling light in an instant, focusing instantly on the core of a small dot of only 3 mm like sharp swords.
At the moment when the laser beam was fired, the originally bright laboratory was instantly enveloped in endless light. The light blooming in the core area was as dazzling as the sun, extremely bright. At the same time, the temperature inside the laboratory was also
It rose rapidly in an instant, and a heat wave surged out from the center point.
All this sounds slow, but it actually happens in a very short time. The light beam goes from splitting to intensifying to concentrating on a point, almost in an instant.
The bright light in the laboratory also lit up instantly, but it only lasted for a very short time. The energy was quickly exhausted and returned to the normal state quickly.
"Huh~"
Wang Wei, Liu Yuan and others breathed a heavy sigh of relief. For a moment, they really felt like facing stars at close range, with dazzling light and terrifying heat waves. This was despite strict protective measures in the laboratory.
If it is in the central area of the laboratory, it is estimated that it will face higher temperatures and a more terrifying heat wave.
"Didi~Didi~"
The huge monitor in the laboratory began to quickly display a lot of data generated by the laboratory that had just been ignited.
"The temperature exceeds 100 million degrees~"
Everyone looked at the monitor and saw the most important point. They couldn't help but cheered and applause continued in the laboratory.
A high temperature of 100 million degrees is a very terrifying high temperature.
You must know that the surface temperature of the sun is only about 6,000 degrees, and the temperature of the sun's core is only about 15 million degrees.
A high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees is enough to simulate the situation when a star is initially ignited, although this time lasts very short, less than a second.
But it can still provide scientists with a lot of information and a lot of research materials to study how stars are ignited and how nuclear fusion occurs.
"It's not bad. It's definitely enough to ignite nuclear fusion."
Liu Yuan also nodded with satisfaction. It can produce high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees, which is enough to ignite the materials for nuclear fusion. You must know that the temperature generated when an atomic bomb explodes is generally around 50 million degrees, which is enough for use.
Come to detonate the hydrogen bomb.
Now this ignition device can create high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees, which is definitely enough to ignite nuclear fusion.
The only thing that needs continuous improvement is that its size is too large and its construction is too troublesome. It must be continuously simplified and improved at the same time to develop it into an energy weapon form so that it can be used in space battleships in the future.
The above is used in the field of energy weapon technology.
"It's a pity that we don't have the materials for nuclear fusion on hand yet, otherwise we could conduct some related experiments now."
Wang Wei touched his chin, thought for a while and said.
Controllable nuclear fusion technology is definitely an epoch-making technology. Once humans can master this technology, humans will have inexhaustible energy.
At the same time, the controllable nuclear fusion technology also means that humans have mastered the energy for interstellar navigation. As long as the warp engine is manufactured, humans can navigate the interstellar universe.
The vast starry sky can no longer block the footsteps of human beings, and the sea of stars can fly and traverse freely.
"Go back and contact Wan Hanrui to build an ignition device on the moon."
Liu Yuan thought for a while and gave Wang Wei instructions.
This nuclear fusion experiment has never passed the review. Liu Yuan naturally did not intend to continue to waste time with them like this. Time was running out and he had no time to play these boring political games with them.
Since there is no way to do this experiment on the earth, then go to the moon and do the experiment.
Anyway, he3 is very abundant on the moon. It is the most ideal nuclear fusion material and energy source, and will become the most important energy source in the future.
Therefore, we only need to build another ignition device on the moon. If the magnetic confinement technology is also developed by then, the controllable nuclear fusion technology will almost be mastered.
As for warp engine technology, it is currently under orderly research. There is one problem that has not been overcome, and that is the problem of materials.
The warp engine is very powerful and can directly fly at warp speed. In addition, the energy is nuclear fusion energy. This ordinary material cannot be used to make the warp engine. It requires a theoretical material -
Only degenerate materials can meet the needs of warp engines.
The so-called degenerate material is a high-density material, and its main pressure comes from the Pauli exclusion principle, also called degeneracy pressure.
This kind of degenerate matter and material is theoretically the main material that makes up neutron stars, and is formed after the late stage of stars.
With humankind's current technology, it is too difficult to create degenerate materials, let alone large-scale manufacturing for warp engines.
Therefore, warp engine technology is definitely not a simple technology, it is a systematic project.
It involves space theory, cosmic astronomy, materials science, energetics, optics, nuclear energy and many other fields. It is an all-round test of a civilization's technological development level.
There are countless star-level civilizations in the universe, but those who can master the warp engine and advance to the river system-level civilization are very rare.
Because it requires too much technology to manufacture and use warp engines.
You need to master powerful materials technology so that you can meet the foundation for manufacturing warp engines. Secondly, you need to develop cosmic astronomy and space science. Only with certain research and understanding of these can you master the theoretical basis of warp engine technology.
Next is energy. If you want to master controllable nuclear fusion technology, you have to study magnetic confinement technology, ignition technology, nuclear fusion technology, etc.
Each of these technologies is a Mount Everest. There are countless technologies derived from it, large and small. Not to mention other things, just taking the ignition device as an example, this design involves optics, materials science, fluid science, and chemistry.
There are many fields, and in these fields you must have a strong foundation to be able to create such an ignition device.
Otherwise, if you are not good at any field, you will not be able to create this ignition device and you will always be stuck.
To fully master warp drive technology, it requires a civilization to spend a long time accumulating and studying it.
The reason why Xinghai Technology dares to launch this technology is entirely because Liu Yuan has the help of inheritance seeds in his hands, which contains guidance and even a ready-made warp engine for you to study.
In addition, the scientists of Xinghai Technology were all secretly trained and transformed by Liu Yuan, and everyone spent a huge amount of money. Any one who comes out is a national treasure-level scientist, and his level will only be higher than that of national treasure-level scientists from star-level civilizations.
powerful.
This is the confidence that Liu Yuan dares to launch the warp engine project. Without this, even if Liu Yuan is a genius, he would not be able to talk about researching and manufacturing warp engines.
"I understand~"
When Wang Wei heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Yuan meant.
This is to put research on controllable nuclear fusion technology on the moon.
Maybe the manufacturing and research of warp engines will also be put on the moon.
The moon is now an unowned land, and it is also a place that is not subject to legal jurisdiction and restrictions. You don't need to worry about anything you do here, and you don't need to apply for it.
At present, Xinghai Technology has also established a huge lunar base on the moon. On the one hand, it is used for mining, and on the other hand, it also conducts various scientific experiments. There are various laboratories on the moon.
One of the important reasons why Xinghai Technology's technology can develop rapidly is that Xinghai Technology has many conditions that others do not have.
Like laboratories, Xinghai Technology not only has a space laboratory, but also a lunar laboratory. All kinds of equipment and instruments are the best, and the funding is sufficient.
Most of Xinghai Technology's money was spent by Liu Yuan on scientific research. It maintained hundreds of thousands of scientists, a large number of researchers, and engineers. It was very expensive. The salary alone was astronomical, not to mention conducting experiments.
, research, funding, laboratories, etc. are more expensive.
Without Liu Yuan, who was so prodigal and willing to spend money, how could Xinghai Technology have the technological strength it does now? How could a private company dare to engage in the warp engine project and do something that requires a civilization to devote its entire civilization to do something?
It is definitely not easy to rebuild an ignition device on the moon. Its cost and cost may be several times that on the earth. Many things have to be transported to the moon, and the construction is more troublesome and the cost is very huge.
But Liu Yuan did it as he said without batting an eyelid. Money should be used on such a cutting edge and in key places. Don't be stingy or reluctant.
Of course, as a senior executive of Xinghai Technology, Wang Wei naturally understood Liu Yuan's purpose of doing this and was making plans for the future.
