In the ground command center of the Moon Colonial, the staff were busy.
Today is a meaningful day. The nuclear fusion generator set located on the surface of the moon will be officially turned on to generate electricity.
This not only means that the shortage of electricity in the lunar colonies will be completely solved, but the excess electricity can also be sent to the Star Ring City through long-distance transmission and then to the surface.
Ready?
certainly.
Let's start.Jiang Chen nodded, made a gesture, indicating that Kerwin could start.
The entire command center was like a clockwork, and everyone showed ten times and twenty times the motivation and struggled in their positions.
Various parameters flashed on the large screen in the center, and every move of the nuclear fusion generator that is hundreds of thousands of kilometers away can be monitored here.
The magnetic constraint device is started, and the helium three fuel is loaded into the reaction chamber!
The magnetic constraint device is operating normally.
The superfluid thermal circulation device is started...operating stably.
Deuterium fuel is filled!
……
ignition!
The signal lights all jumped green, and Kerwin immediately pressed the red button.
The progress bars in the holographic screen are instantly filled, and the power output instantly reaches a terrifying 5,000MW.
In the spherical reaction chamber dozens of kilometers away, the magnetic restraint body has lit up into a ball of light that cannot be seen directly, and its internal reaction temperature has exceeded the terrifying tens of millions of degrees!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is equivalent to a small sun.
If a violently reacting atom breaks through the shackles of magnetic constraints, its power is no less than detonating a hydrogen bomb of millions of equivalents. If placed on the earth, it is enough to erase a modern city from the map.
But everyone present was well-established.
As early as the beginning of the completion of Penglai City, Star Ring Trade had secretly used it without telling the international community. It is not the first time that everyone here has operated the nuclear fusion generator set to start. It is just that this nuclear fusion generator is produced independently by the future Human Resources Industry and is located hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
5000MW is far from the limit of this nuclear fusion generator set. As the fuel continues to fill, the output power of electricity continues to rise.
The reaction temperature also exceeded 15 million degrees, and after a slight decline, it stabilized at 14 million degrees.
Kerrwen breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her face, and she picked up the walkie-talkie hanging on her shoulder and announced loudly to everyone.
Nuclear fusion generator No. 01, successfully started!
The command room burst into deafening cheers, and the staff walked out of their seats, slapped their high-highs and fists, cheering for victory.
Due to the scene, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
Unlike most nuclear power plants, Starring Trade abandoned the inefficient steam turbine power generation design after absorbing the technology from the apocalypse, and instead adopted a thermal ion reactor that is still cutting-edge than it is now.
To put it simply, the two poles of the yin and yang are connected by electric wires. The cathode heats up and releases the electron beam, and the anode absorbs electrons to form a circulation circuit.
However, the entire set of devices will definitely not be that simple. Just like to say that it is a little simpler to boil water, but in fact, the technical connotation involved is of course far more than boil water.
How to solve the power limit of power generation, how to recycle the heat absorbed by the anode to power generation... These are the problems that are still to be solved in this world.
If nothing unexpected happens, in another thirty or fifty years, controlled nuclear fusion technology will be born here, and most of them will use steam engines to boil water to generate electricity.
However, because neutrons are easily absorbed by light substances, compared with nuclear fission, a second-circuit heat exchanger can be saved.
At the same time, the same cheers rang out on hundreds of thousands of kilometers of lunar colonies.
The continuous stream of electricity is transmitted from nuclear fusion generators to various areas of the colony, replacing the solar generator that takes two weeks to rest.
The reaction temperature has been reached, and the fusion reaction can continue as long as the supply of fuel in the reaction chamber is maintained.
Although the high temperature of tens of millions of degrees is quite scary, this generator is much safer than the generator set of any nuclear power plant in the world.
The thermonuclear reaction between helium-3 and deuterium will only produce protons without radioactivity, so when using helium-3 as energy, there will be no radiation. Even if an accident occurs, the cost of rescue will not be very high.
If you take a step back, there is no air on the moon. Even if the reactor explodes, it will not form a shock wave that will destroy the world.
Nuclear weapons have extremely limited killing effects in vacuum environments, far less scary than their explosion equivalents.
congratulations.Jiang Chen smiled and shook Kerwin's hand, very outstanding command.
Thanks to your promotion.Kerrwin modestly accepted the praise.
After pausing for a moment, Jiang Chen continued.
I plan to reorganize some of Starring Trade's business.
Kerwin looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, not understanding why he told him about this.
The space launch center he manages is just a very partial department in the Star Ring trade. Although the budget is amazing, it is almost outside the core of power.
Jiang Chen did not explain, but continued.
The restructuring part is mainly in the aerospace business.The establishment of the space launch center will be cancelled and replaced by the newly established Ministry of Aerospace.The department is in charge of the interstellar colonization program and all projects within the group involving the development of outer space resources.
And I hope you will be the manager of this aerospace department.
Kerwin was stunned at first, and then his brain was occupied by dizzy joy.
Thank you for the promotion of the chairman, I will definitely not let you down!
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and patted his shoulder.
I'm sure you won't let me down.
……
In mid-February, Starring Trade spent 2 billion SGD to acquire Panu Electric Power Company, which supplies power to the entire Panu Islands, and renamed it the Global Power Company, integrating domestic power generation companies and power grid units in the new country.
At the same time, the engineering ship of Star Ring Trade went to the equatorial line again, and started construction under the sea base station of the space elevator, ambitiously preparing to build a submarine cable extending from the equatorial line to Anga Island and incorporate it into the Xinguo State Grid.
Everything is paving the way for the long-distance transmission plan of the lunar nuclear fusion power station.
Jiang Chen was obviously not satisfied with the domestic power market in the new country. While the submarine cable started construction, he then found the governments of the Moro and the Philippines, demanding that it open its own power market.
With almost no talk, Jiang Chen easily pulled these two vassal states into his own chariot.
Both the Philippines and Moro have agreed to cooperate with the new countries to build transnational submarine cables and connect to their own power grids.
The Philippines has the largest electricity bill in the world, and it is a model of the poorer it is to be more and more evil.
Of course, they will not refuse Starring trade that may reduce their domestic electricity prices.
What's more, they don't have the confidence to refuse, and the garrison of Star Ring Trade in Manila has not yet been completely withdrawn.
As for the Moro Kingdom, there is no need to say. Santos simply recognized his younger brother's identity. How could he refuse the request of the Sect Master?
What's more, oil prices have soared recently, and the Morocco, which relies on oil imports, is facing the problem of energy shortage. How can it reject Jiang Chen?
After winning over the Philippines and Moro, Jiang Chen then came to Malay again...
