My Side Job is a Trader - Chapter 429

Without being too entangled in this issue, Zhao Yunchang suddenly said to Zhang Xin with a mysterious face: “Mr. Zhang, come with me, and I will show you a good thing.”

Zhang Xin was suddenly aroused by curiosity, so he followed Zhao Yunchang to a separate room deep in the workshop.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a spacecraft similar to a space shuttle in the center of the room. At this moment, several young engineers are busy surrounding the spacecraft, and there are several people nearby who are constantly using computers to calculate. what.

“This is not the new generation of aircraft you are talking about? But this aircraft seems to be a bit big. There is no such big launch vehicle yet, right?”

Zhao Yunchang took Zhang Xin to visit the spacecraft, and then came to the stern of the spacecraft and said: “This aircraft does not need a rocket, it can complete the flight with its own power.”

Zhang Xin asked, “Without a rocket launch, just using the fuel it carries, how far can it fly? Wouldn’t it just fly out of the atmosphere and return?”

In order to counter the gravity of the earth, the rocket needs to carry a lot of fuel when launching, especially during the acceleration phase. The fuel can be said to be consumed visible to the naked eye. Even if the spacecraft is filled with fuel, it is estimated that it will barely break out of the atmosphere.

Zhao Yunchang said: “At present, it may be difficult to use it to fly out of the atmosphere, but it can be used to fly in the atmosphere. With this thing, even if you fly to a country on the other side of the ocean, you can take up to one hour to count the preliminary preparations. Arrived at the destination.”

Zhang Xin suddenly said: “Oh! You mean commercial rockets carry passengers, right? But how much money does this thing need to launch once? Even if it can be put into use, the fare is probably very expensive, and the average rich might feel distressed, right?”

Zhao Yunchang explained: “The main thing is the fuel cost and the maintenance cost in the later period. This spacecraft is made of the latest alloy synthesized in the laboratory. It is very durable and will not be deformed even if the temperature generated by friction with the atmosphere is as high as tens of thousands of degrees. So it can be used repeatedly like those civil aviation planes.”

Zhang Xin began to wonder how this technology should be developed.

Zhao Yunchang continued: “Actually, I assembled this spacecraft according to aircraft standards. If it has a reliable power unit, it can be used as a manned spacecraft immediately with only a few adjustments.”

Zhang Xin could hear that Zhao Yunchang was complaining about the delay in the development of nuclear power reactors, otherwise the world’s first aircraft capable of interstellar flight would be produced.

“Quickly, the ignition plan for nuclear fusion has been found over there. The problem now is how to miniaturize the tokamak device. It is estimated that there will be results in a few years.”

Two years ago, the group of lunatics who studied nuclear fusion found a way to ignite. They did not use a large amount of electricity to form a high-temperature laser to ignite, nor did they heat the overall environment, and finally reached that deuterium atoms can carry out fusion reactions.

They proposed to use nuclear fission to create high temperature artificially to replace high-temperature laser ignition. In the past two years, they have been studying how to use the least nuclear fission materials to reach the temperature required to initiate a nuclear fusion reaction.

The difficulty is that nuclear fission is uncontrollable. As long as fission occurs, it cannot be stopped unless nuclear materials are consumed.

Therefore, it is necessary to slowly experiment and calculate how much nuclear material is fissioned at one time.

So in the past two years, in the depths of the northwestern desert, there will be a small nuclear explosion from time to time. If you hadn’t greeted the government in advance, I’m afraid Zhang Xin, the boss, would have stayed in a free house.

After many experiments, the scientists finally found out that using an appropriate amount of nuclear materials at a time can reach the temperature required for the fusion reaction, and the nuclear fission materials will just be exhausted, leaving no radioactive materials.

After the news came, Zhang Xin was excited for a long time, which means that the Matrix Group has entered the countdown stage from controlling the fusion reaction, and human civilization will thus enter a new level.

In the future history of human civilization, Zhang Xin and the contribution of Matrix Group will always be remembered.

The core problem is solved, and the rest is handed over to the power plant research department.

Nuclear fusion reactors can generate enough energy. How to convert this energy into power is what they need to study.

Although this step is also difficult, it is not difficult to control the fusion reaction. After all, the power plant is just replacing the burning fuel with a fusion reactor. The biggest difficulty is how to get the materials. After all, the fusion reaction will produce hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature. The magnetic field generated by the tokamak device is constrained, but the transmitted temperature is not low, tens of thousands of degrees is still there, so the material used to make the power device must be able to withstand high temperatures.

And this step has obviously been overcome by the laboratory, otherwise, where did the alloy used in the spacecraft manufactured by Zhao Yunchang come from?

So Zhang Xin went directly to the materials science laboratory after visiting the aircraft department.

Hou Xingzhi, the person in charge of the development of a new type of high-temperature alloy, smiled bitterly and said: “Mr. Zhang, let me tell you. In fact, the most critical ingredient in the alloy is not the substance in the earth, and it is not possible to artificially synthesize it. The good news is that this substance doesn’t need a lot, it just serves as a primer.”

Zhang Xin quickly asked, “What the **** is going on?”

Hou Xing knew: “Remember the lunar soil that the National Aviation Center once sent us?”

Zhang Xin nodded. Three years ago, the National Aviation Center launched a lunar probe. At that time, it absorbed several kilograms of lunar soil on the moon and brought it back.

Due to the excellent scientific research ability of Matrix, after applying to the government, it needs some lunar soil for research ~www.mtlnovel.com~The government naturally agreed.

Zhang Xin also knew about this at the time, but he didn’t take it to heart. He didn’t expect that his unintentional act at the time would actually make more significant discoveries and breakthroughs.

From this, Zhang Xin knew the importance of space resources, which is also an important reason for Zhang Xin to vigorously develop space exploration regardless of the cost.

“Then apply again with the government!”

Hou Xingzhi shook his head and said, “The lunar soil that I brought back last time has been divided up.”

Zhang Xin walked back and forth in the laboratory several times, and finally said: “It seems that we still have to support ourselves. It is really not possible. Our company launches its own lunar probe to obtain lunar soil!”

Hou Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Matrix is ​​a monster. It also has a space exploration company under its umbrella, and it is said that the technology is quite advanced.

Zhang Xin thought left and right. To complete the interstellar voyage of a manned spacecraft, reliable power is needed. For a reliable power device, the material must be resistant to high temperatures. The synthesis of high temperature resistant alloys requires certain substances on the moon. So there is only one solution, which is to find a way to obtain enough lunar soil first, and then there will be a breakthrough.

So Zhang Xin came to the Chaos Space Exploration Company again, and wanted to discuss with the person in charge how to allocate resources to obtain lunar soil, and this time he couldn’t just get a little bit, at least he had to get hundreds of kilograms back.
