The Rise Of Space Technology

Chapter 397 Creating Degenerate Materials

, the rise of space technology

“Boom~”

In the lunar nuclear fusion research base, the huge cave is filled with powerful energy. The ultra-high temperature has formed a thick layer of crystal clear diamond on the surface of the cave.

However, with the continuous action of the huge energy, even the thick diamond layer melted away again, and the white magma flowed from all directions towards the bottom of the cave, forming a thick lava lake at the bottom of the cave.

This time the nuclear fusion reaction experiment lasted for more than an hour. Although the raw materials put into the nuclear fusion reaction were still very small, the energy generated was still extremely terrifying, turbulent and surging, so that the entire cave that excreted energy was like the ground The lava world of the heart is average.

All are crimson magma, and the magma is constantly flowing around, and the temperature is terrifyingly high.

Fortunately, Xinghai Technology has made preparations in advance. This excretion cave was not excavated at will. Its overall structure is very solid and will not collapse due to the excretion of energy. At the same time, every experiment requires The condition of the cave was checked, and there was a collapse phenomenon.

The nuclear fusion reaction experiment stopped, and the temperature in the cave began to cool down rapidly.

The inner core of the moon has long since cooled, and without a strong inner core to provide powerful energy, the soil and rocks in the deep layers of the moon are different from those of the earth.

On Earth, the deeper you dig, the higher the temperature will be, while the rocky soil on the moon will not be like this. The deeper the temperature, the temperature will not change much.

The temperature in the cave began to slowly decrease under such an environment, and the originally white magma gradually turned red and dark red until it finally dimmed completely, and finally a rock layer containing a lot of diamonds was formed.

When the temperature in the cave was almost reduced, a small aircraft descended into the cave and began to continuously mine the rock layers containing a large number of diamonds that had cooled down in the cave.

This will be a new revenue for Xinghai Technology to support the construction of new fusion reactors for fusion reactors on spacecraft.

“This time the test lasted for more than an hour, and the fusion reactor ran well without any problems, which is enough to show that our fusion reactor is completely successful.”

Here in the laboratory, Zeng Xuan was all smiles.

After this period of repeated testing of the nuclear fusion reactor, all kinds of data have been collected.

The fusion reactor was very successful!

Not only is it running well, stable, and safe, but most importantly, the energy it generates is very powerful.

The nuclear fusion reactor in front of me, according to scientists’ calculations, even if it is tested on a small scale, the energy it generates is almost equivalent to the power generation of more than a dozen Three Gorges Hydropower Stations.

When run properly when needed, it can generate energy comparable to that produced by all power stations on the planet.

This is nuclear fusion technology!

The energy produced by nuclear fusion is unparalleled, the energy of stars!

This has exceeded the energy that can be obtained by the existing technology on earth, and it can easily blow up all the current power stations of mankind.

“Well, it is indeed possible.”

Liu Yuan also nodded in satisfaction.

Although the nuclear fusion reactor in front of us is still the first generation of nuclear fusion reactors, there are many flaws and areas that need improvement, but it is still a successful nuclear fusion reactor, safe and reliable, and can continuously output huge energy, enough to use to drive the warp engine.

“Now there are only two problems left for the warp engine, one is the degenerate material, and the other is the theory of the warp engine.”

“If no one can understand the theory of the warp engine, I can only do it myself. If this degenerate material is used, it can be created using a magnetic energy device.”

“After the warp drive is built, we can start building large-scale space battleships. It is estimated that in the next three years, we will be able to go to the outer planet and work alone.”

“Well, it’s time to start the relevant preparations.”

Liu Yuan thought silently in his mind.

“Go, go to the Institute of Materials Research.”

Thinking of the degenerate materials needed by the warp engine, Liu Yuan is also going to the Institute of Materials to have a look.

The Institute of Materials also sent scientists to the base, and established a separate Lunar Materials Research Institute. In this base, the main purpose is to facilitate the use of magnetic energy devices and use magnetic energy devices to create degenerate materials.

Institute of Materials here,

Chen Jing, who was wearing a white coat, was looking at the magnetic energy device in the laboratory. There was a huge iron block in front of the device.

I saw that in the laboratory, with the continuous rise of the magnetic field, everyone in the laboratory felt uneasy, restless, irritable, and uncomfortable. But soon, the magnetic field began to constrain and concentrate, and everyone slowly returned to normal.

In the center of the laboratory, along with the concentration and restraint of the magnetic field, the invisible and intangible magnetic field gradually appeared, showing colorful colors, like a beam of light shrouding the large iron block.

Obviously, when it is used to create degenerate materials, the power of the magnetic energy device is greatly reduced. Otherwise, with the terrifying power of the magnetic energy device, the iron ore in front of you will be directly split cleanly from the atomic point of view.

Covered by the colorful speed of light, the large iron block more than one meter thick is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like a block of ice irradiated by sunlight. constantly shrinking.

But this is not evaporation, evaporation is directly disappearing.

It looks more like a large sponge has been subjected to an invisible powerful force. Under the squeezing of this powerful force, the volume of the sponge is continuously compressed.

The big iron block in front of you also belongs to such a situation. The thick large iron block is like a sponge. Under the shroud of a strong magnetic field, its own iron atoms are undergoing magical changes, and the structure has changed. .

Just as graphite gradually turns into diamond under high temperature and high pressure, its crystal structure changes, and then graphite turns into diamond.

Graphite, charcoal, and diamond are all composed of carbon, but there is a huge gap between the three, and the fundamental difference lies in the structure of carbon atoms.

At this moment, under the shroud and traction of a strong magnetic field, the iron atomic structure on the huge iron block is also undergoing miraculous changes. The original structure and distribution are broken, and new structures and distributions are continuously formed. During this process, A large number of iron atoms are distributed and aggregated according to the structure and physical properties of degenerate states.

So when looking at it from a macro perspective, the entire huge iron block has become a very, very thin piece of iron at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was compressed by an invisible force.

At the same time, the iron block, which did not emit light at first, was compressed by the magnetic field and changed the mechanism of the atom, and it began to glow, with a crystal clear feeling.

“Unbelievable!”

“After the structure of the iron atom changes, such a miraculous change occurs.”

Chen Jing’s eyes widened as she watched the magical scene in the laboratory.

As scientists in the field of materials science, all kinds of materials are known, and steel materials are naturally the focus and mainstream of research.

Seeing such a miraculous scene now, I feel incredible.

The powerful magnetic field is like an invisible powerful force, compressing the thick steel block into a thin iron sheet, and the iron sheet actually starts to glow, giving people a crystal clear feeling.

It’s amazing.

Soon, the entire large iron block disappeared, leaving only a small very, very thin sheet.

“Check the material now!”

When the magnetic energy device stopped working, Chen Jing couldn’t wait to test this material and see its data in many aspects.

This is probably the closest thing ever to a degenerate material, and the densest thing on Earth.

Such a large piece of iron ore has turned into a thin piece under the action of a strong magnetic field. This density is beyond imagination.

“How about it?”

At this time, Liu Yuan, Wang Wei, Tang Peng, Wang Chen and others also came to Chen Jing’s side to ask.

“Unbelievable, very magical!”

“A large piece of iron has turned into a small sheet under the magnetic energy device, and it has become crystal clear. It’s amazing!”

Chen Jing looked at Liu Yuan and said, “Material science will officially enter the atomic age from now on, turning a new page!”

“It’s exciting to think about it!”

“Yeah, it’s exciting to think about it, the age of atomic materials!”

Liu Yuan nodded and said that material technology has always been an important factor restricting the development of science and technology. Many powerful technologies used in the interstellar era require the use of powerful materials. If material technology cannot break through, it will never be able to truly fly in the interstellar universe. .

While everyone was talking, a heavy-duty forklift drove into the laboratory and was struggling to insert the thin-looking iron sheet, which looked very funny.

A heavy-duty forklift is enough to lift heavy objects, and it is in a low-gravity environment like the moon, but now it is very difficult to fork a thin, thin piece of glass, which looks very funny.

However, this is the truth. A small sheet of iron that looks very thin is very heavy and extremely large. It has a very high weight in a very small volume. It is definitely the densest material that humans have ever mastered. and stuff too.

In the laboratory, many staff were sweating profusely, and it seemed that they had no choice but to take this small sheet.

ps: ask for a ticket~~
