Chapter 303 The Andes plan, let's go directly to the nuclear-powered rocket!

As soon as I returned to the company, Gao Yuan's mood became worse.

According to the United Nations space development framework, the moon is a resource shared by all mankind and cannot be exclusively owned by any collective or individual.

However, rules are rules, and reality is reality.

According to the rules, the Antarctic continent is still the whole of mankind. But so far this year, the number of dome bases built in Antarctica has exceeded fifty. Such a large-scale territorial grabbing is so enraged that North America and the West are gritting their teeth, but so what?

In this world, the weak will always abide by the rules, and the strong will make rules. What is important is not the rules, but the right to make rules.

Cao Feiyu played a video of a North American press conference. Musk faced the reporters with a high spirit and described the bright future of moon development. He almost vomited when he heard it.

Because no matter how high-sounding he said, in fact, North America does not have the prerequisites to develop the moon.

According to the logic of the science and technology tree, it is urgent to develop the moon because the science and technology tree has developed controllable fusion and needs to be mined on the moon for helium 3.

Materials science and agricultural science have been able to support the construction of dome-style human settlements and farms on the moon, study space planting technology, and maintain human survival in settlements

It’s not impossible for North America to develop on the moon, but are they going to build three major bases at once?

There is only one goal of such extravagance and waste, that is, to prevent development. North America is not easy, and no one in the world can think of it.

"Okay, they are awesome." Gao Yuan shrugged after watching Musk's press conference: "The three major bases are only a phase of the plan. Next, they will build more bases on the moon. In this way, they will almost write the four words "wealthy and willfulness" on their foreheads."

Chu Luoluo blinked, "Boss, in fact, Musk's plan also has many highlights. For example, they will use Boston Dynamics Group's robots on a large scale, considering the self-sustaining ability of the moon base."

Plateau nodded slightly. Boston Dynamics is one of the strongest robot research institutions on the earth. Although Kunlun Group has a tendency to come from behind, it has accumulated decades of experience after all.

Gao Yuan actually admires the Boston group. For decades, he has been doing nothing and devoted himself to the robot field and devoted himself to researching it. If you don’t mention anything else, this kind of focus is quite worth learning.

Does Boston Dynamics have enough technology to perform lunar missions?

There are still some, their robotics are quite mature, able to run, jump, avoid obstacles, predict dangers, and even operate simple machinery.

In terms of power, although Kunlun Group has never sold batteries to them, it is too easy to get high-performance batteries produced when smuggling goods are rampant. Therefore, their robots have strong battery life and can work continuously outdoors for a long time.

In addition, the Andean moon development plan has many highlights. Gao Yuan thought about it and said to Chu Luoluo: "Luoluo, please study what parts of the Andean plan are worth learning from. Then make a list for me. Arrogance is the biggest enemy of progress. We should learn from them what we should learn."

"Well, leave this to me." Chu Luoluo nodded and agreed.

"Then I will do this first. I need to think about this matter carefully. Let's discuss it when the Aerospace Group comes to meet tomorrow." Gao Yuan said.

After seeing off Cao Feiyu and the other two, Gao Yuan locked the office, leaned against the sofa, and entered the system space.

“Are you accepting a new mission?”

Gao Yuan saw the prompts on the system panel clearly, thought for a while, and then chose to accept it.

"New mission, nuclear-powered rocket..."

Gao Yuan was shocked when he said the text that appeared on the system panel.

Nuclear-powered rockets?

This is a killer weapon that has opened the space age, and it is the ultimate solution to how humans can break away from the atmosphere and enter the universe.

The system has indeed a routine. First, it handles controllable fusion, and then launches nuclear-powered rockets, step by step. With the help of the system, the scientific and technological tree planted on the plateau is growing rapidly.

Swish~

White light shot into the Plateau brain, implanting the technical data of the nuclear-powered rocket into the memory center. A large amount of data rumbled in like a tide. The Plateau felt dizzy and everything in front of him was full of data and formulas.

...

Due to the time difference, the early morning in the Tarim Basin is later than in the mainland.

The plateau was holding a cup of black coffee without sugar, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, watching the sun rise from the endless wilderness, with a faint smile on his face.

From yesterday afternoon to now, Gao Yuan has been studying hard, revising and sorting out all the knowledge that the system has been implanted into his brain, and finally forming a clear technical route.

He has now done the issue of how to implement nuclear-powered rockets. The next step is to assign tasks and turn technology into reality.

"The time is almost over, let's go there." Chu Hongfei looked at the time and said to Gao Yuan.

Back then, Chu Hongfei was dug back from the Aerospace Group by Plateau, and also took away Gao Yuan’s current personal secretary, the genius girl Chu Luoluo, which made a huge profit.

In the conference room, Plateau welcomed Su Jiuzhou and his party in the Aerospace Group. Everyone was old friends and had nothing to be polite. After greeting each other for a few words, they turned to the topic directly.

The national team let the plateau lead the overall situation, not to give him all the enterprises and institutions, but also need to cooperate with each other.

If Plateau wants people, look for Rao Yi, and if you need assistance from the Aerospace Group, look for Su Jiuzhou.

The Kunlun-1 controllable fusion reactor was a great success. The most important thing next is to go to the moon to mine Helium 3. After all, the cost of using tritium and deuterium fusion is very high, and it is far from meeting the requirements of energy freedom. It needs to be converted into deuterium and helium fusion as soon as possible.

When it was originally designed, the plateau considered compatibility issues, so there was no problem with the conversion of fusion substances.

The only problem is competition, and North America can't wait to announce the Andes plan to occupy the main helium three mines on the moon before the plateau.

After all, the power of energy freedom is really too great, which is a complete subversion of the existing social order. If North America is still striving to resist today, then once energy freedom is realized, North America will have no room for counterattack and can only choose to surrender.

They must give it a try. Even if helium three is useless, they must not get it. This is the mentality of Ansa people at this moment.

Of course, we must let go. Without Helium Three, the controlled fusion plan will lose its future, and energy freedom will become a mirror and water moon, and it will be in a long way.

So, Su Jiuzhou and the elites of the Aerospace Group studied several plans to find the plateau in the Sky City. As long as the plateau is finalized, the national team will roll up their sleeves and start to dry.

"The last one is our main proposal." Su Jiuzhou said seriously: "Using the existing Nine rockets, they will launch continuously and intensively, and dare to grab a rich mine from the moon before North America."

"Although the Earth's orbital capacity of Long March 9 is only 104 tons and the moon's delivery capacity is only 35 tons, the quality is not enough, so we can use quantity to make up."

"We can mobilize all our strength, create crazy, and take out the courage to do it quickly, and compete with those guys in North America!"

"There are more than a dozen helium-rich mines on the moon. Even if you can't grab the mining area with the richest reserves, it's better to seize a medium-sized one."

After listening to Su Jiuzhou's suggestion, Gao Yuan frowned slightly and said, "It's too unprofitable to do this. I'm just trying to grab a medium-sized helium three mine?"

"For this reason, countless industrial enterprises must stop their production plans and cooperate with the production of No. 9. The manpower and money spent is definitely an astronomical figure."

Gao Yuan felt that at such a high price to exchange for one or two medium-sized helium three-mine mines, the cost-effectiveness is really not high, and he can't swallow this, so why can't he have a little good thing?

All the rich mines were occupied by Ansa people, and I followed him to pick up some leftovers?

Chu Hongfei said: "But there is no more suitable plan at present. Musk's Andes plan will be officially implemented in eight days. If we also build a thousand-ton rocket, there will definitely be no time."

Chu Luoluo nodded repeatedly, "Siya, if you don't act quickly now, you may even be occupied by them by the medium-sized mining areas, and there will be no hair left on the moon."

The reason why Plateau is patient and listened to Su Jiuzhou's proposal is that in addition to respecting it, he also wants to know whether the Aerospace Group has some wonderful ideas that make people shine.

Unfortunately, Su Jiuzhou's plan is just right and is completely expected by the plateau.

"I have a plan, you can take a look." Gao Yuan said that, and sent the plan that had been prepared to everyone's terminal smart device.

Simply put, the principle of nuclear fusion advancement is roughly as follows:

First, the plasma is injected into the rocket reaction chamber.

Secondly, the fusion plasma is compressed by using the magnetic field generated by the coil in the reaction chamber.

Finally, the plasma generated by fusion is sprayed out from the nozzle to complete the energy release and push the rocket to take off.

With this principle, actual execution is an extremely complicated process. With just this brief plan, Gao Yuan wrote a total of fifty-three pages.

Nuclear-powered rockets!?

The conventional-powered rocket has not yet been fully understood, so it is directly used to use nuclear power? Is this too nonsense!?

Everyone was shocked, and everyone was stunned by the whimsical imagination of the plateau.

Everyone knows that Plateau is radical, but he never expected that he was so radical. He wanted to skip conventional rockets and go directly to nuclear-powered rockets!?

In fact, the scientific community has not considered using nuclear energy to get rid of gravity.

For example, the famous nuclear pulse rocket, the propulsion principle of this rocket is very rough. It throws nuclear bombs directly behind the rocket and relies on the shock waves generated by the nuclear bomb explosion to generate thrust.

But the problem is that detonating a nuclear bomb in the atmosphere will produce a large amount of shock waves and nuclear radiation. Just like an atomic bomb explosion, pollution is always inevitable.

Secondly, detonating a nuclear bomb in a vacuum can only produce photons and cannot produce shock waves.

Later, scientists improved the nuclear pulse plan, carrying nuclear bombs and propellants at the same time inside the rocket. After the nuclear bomb detonated, the propellant evaporated insulatingly to form a plasma, and hit the propellant behind the rocket, so that enough thrust could be generated.

For example, nuclear saline rockets use brine containing uranium 235 or plutonium as fuel. These brines are stored in specially designed containers and ensure that they do not meet the critical mass required for nuclear reactions through geometric structure or neutron absorption methods.

Heating these radioactive saline will cause nuclear fission and then discharge through the nozzle to generate thrust.

In essence, nuclear saline rockets use the energy generated by continuous micro-nuclear explosions and have the characteristics of high thrust and high specific impulse. The higher the content of enriched uranium dissolved in salt water, the greater the thrust and specific impulse.

In short, the nuclear-powered rocket designs of the predecessors are more exciting than each other, and more crazy than each other.

But if you want to be reliable, there is no one who is reliable. It is either a fission micro-nuclear explosion or a nuclear bomb throwing power field. How can a small breaking ball withstand these crazy people? At least seven billion people live on the earth.

However, the plan for the plateau is different, completely different!

Deuterium and tritium, or deuterium and helium three, are used as fusion fuels. The fusion fuel ball is ignited in the constraint reaction chamber and fusion occurs. The generated ionic gas is discharged from the stern at a speed of 100,000 kilometers per second under the constraint of the magnetic field, as a source of power!

The ion gas discharge speed is 100,000 kilometers per second!?

What kind of god speed is this?

With such a strong reaction force, even the Himalayas can be sent to the moon, right?

Seeing the final conclusion, everyone was shocked and crazy!

The nuclear-powered rocket on the plateau is not only amazingly powerful, but also completely feasible in terms of technology!

For example, the most critical fusion constraint technology, Plateau has just realized an unprecedentedly powerful triple constraint system on Kunlun One, and can be used directly!
