Second-generation, third-generation and miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion are only part of this plan.
Hearing what Xu Chuan said, the old man was a little shocked.
Regarding controllable nuclear fusion technology, he must have some understanding.
Not to mention the previous decades, even after the Dawn Demonstration Reactor project was launched, he also supplemented a lot of relevant knowledge.
Deuterium-tritium (DT) controlled nuclear fusion, now known as the Daybreak Demonstration Reactor, is the first generation of nuclear fusion technology in the field of controlled nuclear fusion and is also the easiest to implement.
After deuterium-tritium (DT) controlled nuclear fusion, there are second-generation deuterium and helium triple fusion, and third-generation pure helium triple fusion.
The subsequent second and third generations of fusion are much more powerful than the first generation in terms of energy release and damage caused by neutron irradiation.
Of course, correspondingly, the difficulty of realizing second- and third-generation controllable nuclear fusion is naturally much higher. Not to mention that the discourse also includes the miniaturization of controllable nuclear fusion, which is also an extremely difficult technology.
However, this is only part of his grand plan.
With a simple sentence, the old man could imagine how huge the plan was in the mind of the young man in front of him.
But he was also curious about what kind of plan this was.
.......
Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to the shock on the old man's face. He continued: "Not only controllable nuclear fusion, but also manned spaceflight, moon landing, fire landing, moon and Mars colonies, etc., are all here.
A plan is in progress.”
"You should know very well that even if controllable nuclear fusion liberates energy, the resources and land on the earth are still limited, and we cannot stop the pace of development, so in order to obtain more resources and land, sooner or later, we will set our sights
They will all look to the starry sky above their heads.”
"There are endless resources and possibilities."
"And under the premise that energy has been solved, we can liberate productivity earlier than other countries and look up at the sea of stars above our heads. Whether it is the moon or Mars, it is a new continent for us."
"In this plan, the scientific researchers in the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project are our strength, and we will do our best to retain them and form a brand new institution."
"In this institution, various technologies related to this set of plans can be gradually studied."
Hearing what Xu Chuan said, the old man couldn't help but swallow the air. Even for him, this plan could be said to be extremely crazy.
Controlled nuclear fusion technology is just about to be realized, and this person has already set his sights on the moon above his head, or even Mars, planning colonization and other aspects.
Taking a deep breath, the old man couldn't help but ask: "Is this step a little too big?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "It's just restarting spaceflight, it's nothing."
After a slight pause, he continued: "If I want to transform Mars and make it our second home, so that we don't need any space suits, colonies, or protective bases, let's
People can live on Mars just like they live on Earth...Do you think I'm crazy?"
Upon hearing this idea, the old man's pupils shrank violently and his breathing became a little faster.
Transform Mars? Make it a second home, let them live on Mars just like they live on Earth.
With current technology and their power, can this kind of thing really be accomplished?
If this idea hadn't come from the mouth of the person in front of him, he would have thought that the other person was crazy.
But after hearing what the person in front of him said, he actually felt a glimmer of expectation in his heart.
After all, if this is really done, it will open up new territory and expand the territory!
For the people living on this land, opening up and expanding the territory for the motherland is the greatest achievement, honor and charm since ancient times! It is also the most desirable thing.
After taking two deep breaths, the old man calmed himself down: "Can you talk to me about this in detail?"
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Actually, I have been thinking about this plan for a long time. Theoretically, we may be able to do it."
"At the end of last year, I saw a piece of news about the United States' "NASA's Perseverance rover successfully landed on Mars and sent back its first photo."
"In the later period, I collected some information about Mars."
"From the information I have collected, Mars is quite close to the Earth in all aspects. In its early formation and development, it and the Earth can be said to be twins, both within the suitable line for life."
"The only difference is that something might have happened to Mars in its early days that caused its metallic core to cool."
"The flow of the metallic liquid core is the key to bringing a magnetic field to a planet, resisting stellar winds, and protecting the surface ecological environment. Just like our Earth, the magnetic field brought by the flow of the liquid core protects the atmosphere of the parent star.
Let it derive an environment suitable for the development of life."
"Mars is not so lucky. Its core may have cooled prematurely, causing it to lose most of its magnetic field."
"If we can find a way to reactivate the core of Mars and let it flow, Mars can regain its magnetic field. And with the magnetic field, it has the ability to protect itself from stellar winds, and the atmosphere can be maintained
Already."
Hearing this, the old man frowned and asked, "Can this be done?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "If the core of Mars has completely cooled down, I am afraid that with our current technology and capabilities, it is impossible to activate it."
"But from the information I have collected, the core of Mars has not completely cooled down. It may be in a state of semi-sleep, or it may be in a state of recovery."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The evidence for this is that Mars still has a weak magnetic field, and in recent years, fire detection satellites have observed signs of volcanic eruptions on Mars."
"No matter which one they are, they all need geological activity to support them, which means that the core of Mars may not be as 'cold' as we think."
"If that's the case, maybe I can actually reactivate the core of Mars and give it a magnetic field again."
Hearing this, the old man's heart started to beat loudly. He thought for a moment and asked: "Even if there is a magnetic field, what about the atmosphere? How are you going to solve the problem of the atmosphere? The atmosphere on Mars should be quite thin now, right?
There are water sources and so on, I’m afraid these are all problems.”
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Yes, the current atmosphere on the surface of Mars is indeed very thin, so thin that humans cannot breathe on it."
"However, judging from the data I collected before, the surface soil of Mars contains a lot of carbon dioxide and other gases. If we can find a way to stimulate it, theoretically it should be enough to form a complete atmospheric cycle on the surface of Mars.
mechanism."
"As for water sources, there is also solid water on both stages of Mars, as well as in places such as the Mariner Grand Canyon. These things have been discovered by detectors."
"Of course, the specific number requires further detailed inspection."
"But judging from the data I collected, Mars does have the potential to be transformed and become our second home. It is also worthy of our investment, time and future."
"It's just that this should take a long time, maybe ten years or even a hundred years. We may need to bring other countries together to do this, but I think we can give it a try."
After a pause, Xu Chuan continued: "Of course, this is only the ultimate goal of this plan."
"Although we may not be able to see the ultimate goal of this plan, nor may it be realized in this era, as long as we make a start, those who come after us will definitely follow in our footsteps."
"Moreover, in the early stages of this plan, we have not gained nothing. Developing the next generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology, aerospace technology, detection technology, colonization technology, etc. are all things we can and need to do."
"Even without the ultimate transformation plan I proposed, these things are the path we need to take next, but I just connected them together."
"With all due respect, although we are now leading the way in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, I believe that other countries will definitely invest crazy money in it. They may develop it in twenty years at the latest, or even ten years.
Our own controllable nuclear fusion technology.”
"After all, you also know that once a technology has been implemented, no matter how much confidentiality work is done, it is impossible to control it forever."
"Just like the nuclear bomb, after the Manhattan Project completed the development of the nuclear bomb, Hongsu developed his own nuclear bomb in just four years. Including us, we also developed it not too far away."
“When a technology has been completed, it is easy for latecomers to follow the footsteps of predecessors in crossing the river.”
"In the past, we helped others cross the river, but now it is others' turn to help us cross the river."
"So it is impossible to control controllable nuclear fusion technology forever. If we want to continue to lead in this field, it is undoubtedly the best choice to continue to invest money in it, develop next-generation products, and even expand to other fields.
"
"After all, there is no reason why we should lag behind others in the future when we have mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology first."
After listening to Xu Chuan's grand plan and arrangements for the future, the old man took a few deep breaths to calm down.
I have to say that what he said today can be regarded as deception, but he was indeed a little tempted by this kind of deception.
However, it is one thing to be excited, and another thing to decide whether to implement it. He still needs more suggestions and considerations.
Nodding, the old man replied seriously: "We will seriously consider your suggestion."
