Chapter 80 Except nuclear fusion

Hearing this, Oliver said with some surprise, "Then why not use this kind of high-efficiency battery to make high-energy weapons?"

What he meant was whether the decaying battery could be used to imitate the manufacture of weapons like Gauss rifles. He was fond of this kind of weapon that saved his life, and since he had used it, he felt that he had a taste for it, and human guns were not even as good as dregs compared to it ...

Oliver profoundly understands that in the future for some time, or the era of electricity and magnetism, whether it is weapons or other aspects, can not be separated from the electricity and magnetic technology.

So he is also exceptionally concerned about the high energy battery aspect. Small to living home, to the safety of the entire Noah, can not be separated from the higher performance of the battery.

Electricity this kind of thing is very large-scale difficult to save, so far, the power station excess electricity is no way to store well, must be sent with the use. Although the Noah has many backup power stations, but the grid distribution is not as intricate as on Earth, from a security point of view, or not quite enough.

If there is a large storage capacity of high-energy batteries generated, from the power security can undoubtedly go to the next level.

The Noah is the home of the entire new human civilization. From the safety point of view, it is no better than the Earth, because any ecosystem needs to be balanced by humans themselves, and the process during which is like walking a one-way bridge, humans cannot be a little sloppy. If a sudden large-scale power failure, the danger is self-evident.

And on the other hand, a real space weapon must also be supported by these super batteries to be ...

Yuriko listened and shook her head: "The problem is that there are two, first, this isotope decay battery is very large, there is no way to miniaturize it for the time being, generally only for larger devices such as satellites, second, it relies on elemental decay to generate electricity, the output power is constant, it is difficult to increase rapidly. For example, laser weapons, particle beam weapons, the instantaneous output power requirements of the battery is extremely large, but the instantaneous acceleration of nuclear fission, very easy to cause safety accidents."

"If the technology does not pass, the battery is likely to explode ... we can not yet control this aspect"

Oliver frowned and thought about it, this kind of isotope decay battery decades ago, if it can really be improved, it has also been improved a long time ago. Also he thought of the problem too simply.

Yuriko continued, "alien technology is rather related to the creation, but we have not yet figured out the principle of ..."

As the two talked, Oliver felt more and more that the technology tree ahead seemed never-ending ... like a vast sea of stars, and that mankind had only scratched the bottom of some of them so far.

According to reason, human beings at least a few hundred years or thousands of years more to develop, to step into the stars, but now they are driven out of the home planet alive ...

But now, with the inspiration of these alien creations, a year to catch up with the normal development of decades, Oliver has been more than satisfied. One can at least see where the technology tree is going.

He burped, somewhat full, but still belly full mouth not full gnawing on the submarine crayfish.

This lobster is a fresh product introduced in the last six months. The groundwater extracted from Mount Sharp contains a high salt content, which happens to configure seawater and raise some seafood. Thanks to this, the dietary aspect on the Noah also began to become diversified and people's living conditions were better.

He looked at it, and suddenly reached out his hand and chucked a crayfish to Yuriko, "The last one is for you!"

Actually, he didn't think too much about it, almost subconsciously. The two of them had been together for more than two years, so it could be said that they had gotten really acquainted, and this kind of behavior was nothing to sneeze at.

"Speaking of which, how are the tests on the laser ignition system going?" Oliver asked casually as he sat in his seat and wiped his mouth.

That was a basic introduction to the four-hydrogen nuclear bomb, and he still cared a lot about it. No matter how flawed the nuclear bomb was, it was still mankind's big bottom card. This kind of somewhat primitive weapons, strange power, is the laser, ion cannon beat horse can not catch up.

Yuriko thought about it and became extremely serious when it came to science, "Now we have a laser system that can instantly ignite 49 hydrogen balls of one millimeter in diameter at the same time, and the current situation can only reach this level. To shoot further than a hundred targets, it may take a few more months of improvement ..."

Oliver said directly to the hand, "Time is not a problem. And we now have enough supplies and energy to further strengthen the support of the major laboratories. That said, our military strength is really too poor, if not for a few nice weapons removed from the flying saucers, really nothing different from zero."

Yuriko agreed: "In fact, ... is just a decoration. We don't have enough power output of electrical energy to occur out of the shells, and the power is estimated to be less than even a tenth of the original version."

"If we really want to use them, first, we need super batteries, and second, we want a more powerful energy source, and that is - controlled fusion technology!"

Speaking of controlled fusion technology, the two men suddenly fell silent.

The engine room and power room of the alien saucer were completely destroyed, and humans did not get any information about "controlled fusion". That is to say, this aspect of the content is likely to be human to figure out, which is also the most sad thing for energy scientists.

It is foreseeable that in the next few years, almost all technologies will be able to advance significantly, except for ... fusion!

Controlled nuclear fusion, known as the "ultimate form" of human energy, nuclear fusion once the same as nuclear fission to achieve power generation, will be a revolutionary success that will turn the world upside down, human beings in energy, no longer need to be meticulous. Because the material of nuclear fusion can be said to be inexhaustible ... but with the current progress of technological development, this energy technology is still in a distant state.

"This technology will not see hope for at least a few decades." Oliver's tone was somewhat low. He had discussed this issue with Ding Yidong, Felix and other big scientists, and they agreed that there was no way to achieve controlled fusion technology in the short term.

The best result on Earth so far was the National Large Science Device of the Union State of Earth, the world's first fully superconducting tokamak, which had achieved a stable 101.2-second steady-state long-pulse high confinement plasma operation.

Such a result, which also only confines the plasma within a certain range, is only the most preliminary step, and there is still a long way to go before formal power generation ...

Oliver's heart is slightly regretful, if only there was controlled nuclear fusion technology. Many alien weapons, are based on the mega energy consumption of nuclear fusion to work properly.

"We think that controlled fusion technology is not engineering feasible so far, maybe when our superconductivity technology, cooling technology, magnetic confinement technology goes up ..."

Yuriko said faintly, "Of course, that blob you brought back might be a data bank and might have relevant information, but it's just as far from decryption success ..."

Oliver frowned and was silent.
