Boss Zhang is very busy. After just finishing the new emperor's ascension, he was invited by Li Yuzhang to visit a new technology again. Of course, it is not photon technology, nor quark energy technology - it is still under research; it is a new energy collection, storage and production technology, and this technology is also relatively old, that is - nuclear energy! It can only be said that the combination of new and old technologies, a perfect combination - well, this is what Li Yuzhang scientist himself said.

Nuclear energy, an ancient but still radiating the sunrise! Although the energy blocks used in the Chinese Empire now, the most fundamental source is still stars, and the energy source of stars is nuclear fusion!

As for the antimatter (energy), which has achieved good results in the empire, it can only be regarded as an alternative - in fact, antimatter sounds loud, but there are really not so many practical applications.

First of all, antimatter itself is a secondary energy source. It is a kind of "matter" produced after consuming a large amount of energy! The transformation of matter itself has an efficiency problem; therefore, from this point of view, antimatter does not have the basis for large-scale use. Secondly, antimatter is not a good baby, and it is difficult to store, etc., which makes antimatter, a seemingly powerful existence, can only exist in the laboratory; unless one day the antimatter world can be discovered, relying on artificial antimatter will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of technological development.

In contrast, nuclear fusion is still the main vitality of the universe. Therefore, the ultimate source of energy in China is still nuclear fusion! No matter whether this technology is ancient or not, as long as it can provide enough energy, this is enough! There is a very interesting phenomenon in the development of science and technology, that is, in the process of research, we often strive for excellence, but in the process of production and use, we pursue "mass production"; this creates a phenomenon that we will not pursue too much advancedness when using it, just as appropriate.

Antimatter technology is not bad, but it cannot overcome the threshold of "mass production". This technology that cannot be mass-produced and popularized in the scientific and technological society does not have "practical" value, and a technology without practical value cannot be promoted in the scientific and technological era - it does not mean that it cannot obtain research funds.

In short, the final source of energy in the Chinese Empire is still nuclear energy. Even the star collar technology still uses the nuclear energy of stars. So now, Li Yuzhang, the father of energy in the Chinese Empire, is preparing to go crazy again against the upcoming interstellar migration and nuclear energy!

"Your Majesty, this is an energy budget report." After seeing Zhang Jingyuan, Li Yuzhang handed over a report directly. The report was very simple, with only a few lines of words. But after seeing these lines, Boss Zhang could only sigh.

When Li Yuzhang saw that there were others around Zhang Jingyuan, he spoke up and explained simply: "According to the recent calculations of the energy department, if we want to safely arrive at the Andromeda galaxy, each kilogram of object needs energy consumption of up to 80 to 100 standard energy blocks; considering the problems of dealing with some emergencies, we believe that each kilogram of object needs an energy reserve of 120 energy blocks.

Each citizen is calculated based on 60 kilograms, which is 7,200 energy blocks!

Adding the consumption along the way, it is not a small number. If various substances are recycled, they are water, oxygen, etc. The energy consumed is calculated only by calculating the energy consumed in it, a person will also need to consume a standard energy block for five thousand years to maintain his life. This is the minimum consumption. If there are some mentally strong, it can even be increased to 10 energy blocks.

In addition to these, there are also the mass of the spacecraft itself, combat equipment, etc., which are not small numbers.

And now, our energy reserves are only one-tenth of them!

In other words, our material reserves over the past thousand years are only one-tenth of the energy consumption of the interstellar migration.

In order to solve this problem as soon as possible, we thought for a long time and decided to adopt such a plan, which is the artificial star plan. Of course, the name of this plan is a bit exaggerated, but the idea is relatively simple.

First of all, there is a very important premise, that is, our current stellar collar technology is almost done, and if there are too many, it will waste additional energy. After all, building a stellar collar will almost consume the empire's energy reserves one day; the empire's energy reserves one year can only build less than 400 stellar collars.

Although the more star collars you build, the more energy it generates, the same goes for building a star collar itself to consume a lot of energy. According to the parabolic rules, the number of our star collars is now enough!

But this does not mean that our energy is sufficient! In fact, even if we calculate based on the current energy production speed of the star collar, our final energy reserve can only meet 70% of the highest standard calculation; 110% of the lowest standard. This looks good, but it is too dangerous! Moreover, our future development will inevitably consume more energy; for example, we have to build enough spacecraft, etc.

Therefore, the best way is to double the current energy reserves directly!

And how to store energy without building more transverse collars? Our idea is: artificial star technology is actually the ancient nuclear fusion technology. To be precise, it is a large number of artificial nuclear fusion reactors!

The materials for nuclear fusion are mainly hydrogen elements, followed by helium elements! This is very rich in space. Whether it is the stars themselves, large gas planets, or even nebula, they are huge collections of hydrogen elements and helium elements.

With our current technology, as long as it is hydrogen, we can use it for nuclear fusion. Even helium is OK. The technology is more complicated and the investment is relatively high, but it is not bad.

Moreover, after nuclear fusion, in addition to energy, we can even produce some elements we need, such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, which are all necessary for life.”

"Wait," Zhang Jingyuan interrupted Li Yuzhang, who became more and more excited and more outrageous as he spoke, "Senior brother, you should just talk about your plan. Just make the decision about technology or something. I'm here to understand what you are doing and then let Congress support you.

Also, there seems to be no need for this artificial star. There is no shortage of stars in space!"

"Okay okay, I'll just say a long story short. Really, I want to introduce it!" Li Yuzhang also has a common problem with researchers, and wants to find someone to show off his achievements (many scientific research, etc. This is how it leaks secrets. The spy is definitely the best object of confidant, the very patient type, including Instein). He is now interrupted by Zhang Jingyuan, and he is a little dissatisfied. But he still skipped the contents that were preparing for detailed introduction. "This so-called artificial star project is not to really build artificial stars, but to build a large number of small nuclear fusion reactor clusters; just like a honeycomb!

Our plan is that every spacecraft more than 30 kilometers will build large nuclear fusion reactors internally to meet the daily needs. We are not directly utilizing nuclear energy, but converting nuclear energy into energy blocks to store. In the process of the interstellar migration, we do not have time to store enough energy blocks, but we can store enough nuclear fuel; then fly all the way to create energy blocks. Nuclear fuel can even produce some elements we need.

As for the raw materials of the reactor, of course, are hydrogen and helium. Although these two substances are very common in galaxies, some large gaseous planets are very easy to collect.

As planned, we use small space technology to store a large amount of hydrogen and helium, and only these two are enough. These things only take a hundred years to obtain enough energy. In the interstellar migration, this will be our most important energy supplement.

Today I invite His Majesty to come to watch our first hydrogen and helium collection plan.

In half an hour, Your Majesty will see our new spacecraft, a concept ship that has been added to the fusion reactor."

"Oh?" At this moment, Zhang Jingyuan was finally moved. During this period of time, the Empire racked its brains and a large number of star collar construction projects have been launched a large number of times since a hundred years ago, and is still under construction! So much so that some people say that the brightness of the Ming Pearl Star Domain has been reduced by half! This is of course an exaggeration, but over the past century, at least one-tenth of the planets in the Ming Pearl Star Domain have been "banned", which is an indisputable fact!

For the sake of energy, the Chinese Empire went crazy! In the era of science and technology, there is nothing but energy.

But even so, it still cannot meet the energy needs of the interstellar migration. New energy research has been in full swing. But today, someone actually said: We should look back!

Yes, nuclear energy is still a widely-existing energy in the universe. Since that's the case, why not try it? And Li Yuzhang's analysis is also very accurate! Yes, even if technology has been looking forward, it's good to look back occasionally!

I soon saw the so-called concept spacecraft. It was a bit weird spacecraft, like a - gourd! Yes, it was the standard gourd with a pointed handle, with a smaller belly on top and a larger belly on the bottom; but in space, the spacecraft was horizontal.

"Your Majesty, this is a concept spacecraft jointly developed and studied by us and Fengchen Group. The spacecraft is divided into two parts. The second half is all nuclear reaction areas and nuclear fuel storage areas. This area can already be unmanned. The spacecraft technology in the front part is the same as the current spacecraft technology. Once there are malignant changes in the nuclear reactor behind, the first half of the spacecraft can be completely separated by itself.

According to the design, the length of the spacecraft is 1,200 kilometers. The first half, that is, the residential area, is a spacecraft with a diameter of 400 kilometers; the second half is a nuclear reactor with a diameter of 700 kilometers.

Within these 700 kilometers, half of the space is the nuclear reactor area. We have built a total of more than 12,000 nuclear reactor factories in it. Each large nuclear reactor can generate energy blocks every hour; the remaining places are storage areas, mainly small space warehouses, and a large part are hydrogen and helium collection plants. In theory, such a spacecraft is flying in the Milky Way without stopping to maintain it at all. It can fly in space until the spacecraft materials age and disintegrate.
