Chapter 519: Beyond Imagination

When we mention nuclear technology, we think of nuclear weapons. In fact, nuclear weapons are just one of the applications of nuclear technology. When nuclear technology is used in war, huge disasters will occur and mankind will be destroyed.

During the Cuban missile crisis, although the United States and the Red Empire were in a state of extreme confrontation, they had a highly consistent understanding that it would bring destruction to all mankind.

The consequences were very serious. At that time, senior US officials were lamenting whether they could still see the sun tomorrow.

As weapons, nuclear weapons are more about deterrence than use. Once someone uses nuclear weapons, he will inevitably suffer nuclear retaliation, and the consequence will be that nuclear weapons fly all over the sky, human beings will be destroyed, and the earth will be destroyed.

Another use of nuclear technology is people's livelihood, providing energy for human beings, such as nuclear power plants, spaceship power and so on. Used well, it will indeed bring great convenience to mankind.

Regardless of whether it is from the perspective of weapons or people's livelihood, nuclear technology should be developed, or given priority.

A country without nuclear weapons cannot be called a big country, and it is impossible to have an important international status.

Because people are not afraid of you!

The country has invested heavily and prioritized the development of nuclear technology. Ye Chen agrees 100%.

"I think I understand why the country will agree to my plan to develop the moon. I think the country has already been preparing for it." Ye Chen looked at these advanced equipment and realized something.

There are many mineral resources on the moon, which are resources needed by human beings. However, the resource most needed by mankind is the nuclear material helium-3. If it can be refined and sent back to the earth, it can be used by mankind for 10,000 years.

That is to say, in the foreseeable future, human beings don't have to worry about the depletion of energy, and there is inexhaustible energy.

When Ye Chen proposed the lunar development plan, the chief and the others quickly agreed. At that time, Ye Chen didn't pay much attention to it, thinking he was the one who convinced the chief and the others, but only now did he know that the country must have made corresponding preparations in this regard.

"Xiaoye, we have a corresponding plan, but it is not to develop the moon. Although we are exploring the moon, we also want to develop the moon. It cannot be completed in a short time. We want to develop asteroids and mine on asteroids, especially It's a rare ore." The chief explained with a smile.

"This is also amazing." Ye Chen was very surprised.

There are more than 10,000 asteroids in low-earth orbit, which contain rich resources, especially rare minerals, and the reserves are amazing. If they are mined back, it will be a great boon to mankind.

Moreover, the cost of low-Earth orbit is much lower than that of developing the moon. After all, these asteroids are near the orbit of the earth, and they can be mined by sending people or machines up with spacecraft.

Although the lunar development plan has a particularly broad prospect, the cost is too high, the technology is too difficult, and the risk is high. If it wasn't for Ye Chen's proposal, the country would not have adopted it if it had confidence in Ye Chen.

Of course, the most important thing is that the design of the new rocket has been completed, allowing the country to see the hope of developing the moon.

"The mining of asteroids is not as difficult as imagined. With the existing technology, we will be able to do so within ten years." The chief said surprisingly.

"Ten years?" Ye Chen was very surprised.

The words spoken by the head must have been rigorously demonstrated, and the country has the confidence to complete them. Ye Chen really hadn't thought of this matter.

"Of course, if Xiaoye can help, maybe it will be a few years earlier." The chief looked at it with a smile, full of expectation.

The crowd looked at Ye Chen eagerly, hoping that he would agree.

"Chief, in fact, if I don't participate, our country can advance a few years." Ye Chen laughed.

"How?" asked the Chief.

"First of all, I took out the manufacturing technology, which greatly reduced the difficulty of manufacturing the tools required for asteroid mining, especially the shorter construction period of the spacecraft, lowered the technical difficulty, and lowered the cost." Ye Chen began to analyze.

The chief nodded, agreeing to this statement.

For the existing technical conditions, mining asteroids is still a very difficult task, and the technical difficulty required is particularly high. Ye Chen's manufacturing technology was announced in a timely manner, and the country will definitely use it to make it easier to build tools for mining asteroids.

"Besides, if the nuclear technology verification is successful this time, our country's nuclear technology will take a big step forward, and miniaturization will not be a problem. After the nuclear reactor is miniaturized, and it is still so stable, it can be used as the power of the spacecraft. If you stay in space for a longer time, you can mine for a long time, and the cost will be lower." Ye Chen said again.

Clap clap!

The chief took the lead, and everyone applauded and smiled.

Nuclear technology has to be done a lot, but the difficulty is not very difficult. However, the practicality of large-scale nuclear reactors is greatly reduced. This can be seen from the history of nuclear technology development in Western countries. In the beginning, the hydrogen bomb of the United States was a very heavy thing. At that time, there were no such large aircrafts that could carry it, and it was not capable of actual combat at all.

With the advancement of technology, it continues to decrease, and finally has actual combat capability.

The development of nuclear technology to the present is all in pursuit of miniaturization. The more miniaturized, the higher the technical difficulty.

For example, the United States has a tactical nuclear weapons program and wants to develop a nuclear weapon the size of a briefcase, with an equivalent of several thousand tons of TNT, and its practical value is much higher.

This tactical nuclear bomb is especially suitable for destroying underground targets. In the event of war, dispatch special forces with tactical nuclear bombs to sneak into the enemy's underground fortifications, let alone go deep, just reach the vicinity and detonate the tactical nuclear bombs, which is enough to destroy the enemy's permanent fortifications.

The miniaturization of nuclear technology can not only be used as a tactical nuclear bomb, but also as a power source. For example, installing a nuclear reactor on a spacecraft is equivalent to having unlimited energy, and can work in space for a long time to mine asteroids. That would be beautiful.

The technical difficulty in this is still very large. However, with the strength of our country, it is not impossible to overcome.

"Of course, there is also the mass production of super optical brains, which is of great help to asteroid mining." Ye Chen said again.

To mine asteroids, a super light brain must be used to control the spaceship.

"Xiaoye, we are also studying the matter of asteroid mining. The specifics will depend on the results of this nuclear experiment." The chief nodded.

Asteroid mining has a good prospect and can be used as a supplement to the lunar development plan. Before our country completes the lunar development plan, we can obtain the needed resources by mining asteroids and alleviate the tension of mineral resources.

However, this needs to be adjusted according to the results of this nuclear test.

The father of the hydrogen bomb took Ye Chen and explained these devices to Ye Chen. By the way, he wanted to ask Ye Chen to see if there was any need for improvement in these devices.

Ye Chenxin said that my labor force is going to be exploited again. After reading it, Ye Chen believes that the existing equipment can basically meet the needs of our country's next nuclear technology research and development, and there is no need to redo it. Some equipment can be improved.

"Thank you, Xiaoye." The father of the hydrogen bomb is very happy. With Ye Chen's help, I believe that these equipment can be upgraded to another level.

He heard Mr. Xu talk about how advanced the equipment designed by Ye Chen was, and he was full of confidence in Ye Chen.

After finalizing this matter, it's time to enter the simulation experiment.

Before the simulated experiment, the head will speak.

The chief greeted you first, and then got straight to the point, saying: "I am very happy to hear that our country's nuclear industry has made a new major breakthrough. On behalf of the country and the people, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to you."

Clap clap!

There was warm applause, and the fathers of the hydrogen bomb, nuclear scientists, were particularly happy.

They are confident that the experiment will be successful. Even if they fail, they have made a major breakthrough. They just need to find out the reason, make improvements, and it will not take long to succeed.

"The motherland and the people, I hope you will continue to work hard and make greater contributions." The chief's speech was very brief.

The speech ended with warm applause, and the simulation experiment began.

"Xiaoye, check to see if there is any problem with these data." The father of the hydrogen bomb said.

The nuclear technology was completed with the help of Ye Chen, and Ye Chen should help check it out. Everyone looked at Ye Chen with eagerness.

Ye Chen also wanted to look at these data, and did not refuse, so he checked it immediately.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Chen found that a lot of data had been revised, which was better than the original data. Presumably this is the result of the efforts of the fathers of the hydrogen bomb.

"No problem." Ye Chen finished reading and came to a conclusion.

call!

Everyone's heart was relieved, and they were all full of joy.

Without Ye Chen's help, this nuclear experiment would not have happened. Ye Chen's opinion is very important, everyone should pay attention to it, even the father of the hydrogen bomb dare not take it lightly.

"Now, chief, please start the simulation experiment." Elder Pan said loudly.

The simulation is completed by the super optical computer, and the data is displayed on the projection screen. The chief only needs to issue instructions.

Everyone looked at the chief, waiting for the governor to give an order.

The chief took a deep breath, a little nervous, and it was obvious that the chief was not in a calm mood.

Ye Chen and the chief have known each other for a long time. He knows that the chief has strategic determination, so he will not be nervous when he is idle. However, this nuclear test has a lot to do with nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, strategic nuclear submarines, and the asteroid mining plan. Even the chief feels a heavy burden on his shoulders.

The chief is so nervous, let alone the others. I was already nervous, but after being infected by the chief, I became even more nervous.

"Simulate the nuclear experiment, start!" The chief gave an order loudly.

The super optical brain began to calculate, and a large amount of data was displayed on the projection screen.

Ye Chen and the others stared at the projection screen with their eyes wide open, without blinking. For fear of blinking an eye, I missed the excitement.

Everyone pursed their lips tightly, very nervous, did not speak, and stared at the projection screen.

Time passed silently, and after an hour, it was still not finished.

Ye Chen was a little surprised. Looking at the remaining estimated time, it would take another day.

The data of nuclear technology is already very large. It is a miracle that our country was able to complete theoretical calculations using manual and abacus calculations.

The current nuclear technology is more advanced and the data is larger. Even with the power of the super optical brain, it will take more than a day.

This is the longest calculation since the birth of the super optical brain, except for the rice gene.

Although it took a long time, no one left and stayed here, even the chief was no exception.

When I was hungry, I went outside to eat something, and soon came back to watch. When I was sleepy, I went to the lounge to rest for a while, regained some energy, and then came back to watch.

Finally, the day passed. The calculation result came out.

Ye Chen's eyes widened suddenly.
