212 Experimental Reactor Starts

Blue Star's technology has not yet touched the essence of living things, and can only make some progress on chromosomes and genes.

If it is animals, various laboratories can also use drugs such as hormones and nutrient solutions to quickly ripen them.

But for plants, even if they make genetically modified plants, they only make some varieties of plants resistant to pests and high yields, but their maturity time has not changed much.

The maturity time of corn is four months, even for early-maturing varieties, it will take more than three months.

The price is that early maturing varieties have low yields.

However, all this has undergone unprecedented changes in the base's testing ground.

Because of the spiritual energy and the existence of the talisman formation, the maturity time of the corn was suddenly shortened to less than a month.

Although the base has only been in operation for a few days, and the yield of these corns and other food crops is not yet known, but based on their growth rate and size, it should still be very satisfying.

Of course, in order to prevent these food crops from mutating in the opposite direction under the influence of spiritual energy, Xiao Ai marked each plant so that it could be checked at any time and replaced in time.

At the same time, in terms of animals, including sheep, goats and sheep are both the best meat, and they are also the source of wool fiber.

Of course, there are also poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese, and livestock such as pigs, cows and rabbits.

Under the influence of spiritual energy, these creatures also grow rapidly, and their maturity period can be shortened quickly, especially rabbits. This kind of fast-reproducing creature only takes about half a month to mate.

There is no shortage of food and meat. Main gases such as nitrogen and oxygen can also be extracted from the lunar soil. Only then can the Moon Palace Base accommodate thousands of people at a time to work and live here.

For these, Yang Qing has made them big and small, and Xiao Ai is responsible for them all. He and Zhao Yuxi can only eat as much as they want. After starting to practice, absorbing spiritual energy can solve most of the nutritional problems, and they no longer eat Haisai indiscriminately. of style.

He carries countless storage bags, and the food inside can be stored for at least several decades without deterioration.

Because the space in the storage bag is the purest space, no life can survive in it, and it can even suppress the bacteria contained in the food itself, making it difficult for them to move.

However, in the future, if Xiaoai continues to cultivate several kinds of spiritual seeds from these ordinary crops, he is still willing to taste them.

From the isolation door, he walked out of the base. His hood, which had changed colors, could not completely block the direct sunlight. Unlike the moon palace monitor with light filtering capabilities, when viewed from here, it was affected by the diffuse reflection of the lunar soil. , there are gray and white colors everywhere, and almost no other colors can be seen.

Pulling Zhao Yuxi, who was a little dazed, the two of them flew in the direction of the fusion experimental reactor.

The robot, which had received the news a long time ago, stood in the shadow of the reactor, and the temperature suddenly dropped.

It's just that even if the lunar soil has been smoothed by Yang Qing's transformation of mud into stone, the diffuse reflection is still extremely serious, keeping its surface temperature above sixty degrees.

Following Yang Qing, there was also a car containing the recently refined helium-3 and some deuterium.

After years of radiation in the water extracted from the moon, the deuterium content in it has reached more than 30%, and there is even a small amount of tritium in it.

Tritium has a half-life of only a dozen years and cannot exist for a long time, which is why its natural content is extremely small.

Putting it on Blue Star means that deuterium almost does not exist in nature. If you want to use it, you can only prepare it through fission reactors. This is a problem that stumps most countries in the world.

From 0.02% to 30%, it is already a leap forward, so even if the helium-3 is consumed, as long as Yang Qing digs all over the lunar soil, he can extract enough deuterium, at least nuclear raw materials There will be no shortage.

And in addition to the moon, there are many small comets in the solar system, and there is enough water on them. Anyway, for Yang Qing, deuterium-deuterium fusion is acceptable in the future. After all, with the existence of the pressure talisman, there is no need to worry about heat. The erosion of the outer wall of the reactor.

But for the time being, Yang Qing will still focus on helium trifusion. After all, among these fusion raw materials, it is the most difficult to produce fusion. As long as it produces fusion, then the above deuterium-tritium fusion, deuterium and helium trifusion, deuterium-deuterium fusion , everything becomes a matter of course.

Several robots got out of the car. Even if they were exposed to direct sunlight, their body surface temperatures reached more than 150 degrees. However, thanks to the excellent heat insulation measures and the frost array in their bodies, the temperature was not suitable for them. , and does not have much impact.

They stepped forward and connected a pipeline to the experimental pile.

This pipeline comes from the solar power station next to it. The converted spiritual energy has been disconnected from the charger, and the spiritual energy that has not been purified by the spiritual stone is connected to the spiritual energy supply port of the reactor.

Yang Qing fell from the sky, checked several spirit stone furnaces, and filled them all up first. This time, 400,000 pieces of spirit stones were used.

Even without the influence of air, it is difficult for the solar panels on the moon to ensure the stability of the spiritual energy supply, so Yang Qing wants to ensure that when the reactor is turned on, all the talisman arrays can be turned on smoothly.

Yang Qing's consciousness gently touched a talisman array on the pipe, and spiritual energy surged in from the pipe.

Yang Qing once again used his spiritual consciousness to activate the talisman array inside the reactor. Suddenly, the entire experimental reactor started working in accordance with the order.

The pressure cylinder was opened, and the helium-3 inside was drawn into the core stack from here.

Immediately, the pressure talisman array embedded on the outer wall of the core pile began to operate.

Suddenly, the core cabin, which was originally filled with helium-3, was pressed to the middle of the core cabin by a huge force.

The pressure starts from ten atmospheres and rises rapidly, to one hundred atmospheres, one thousand atmospheres, and one hundred thousand atmospheres.

As more and more pressure talismans are opened, the pressure inside the core cabin is also increasing exponentially. Soon it reached 100 million standard atmospheres.

By this time, if there is no intervention, the helium-3 will be compressed to the extreme and may even turn into metallic helium.

Although the energy level of metallic helium is very high, such a thing obviously cannot be used as a raw material for nuclear fusion. What Yang Qing needs is helium-3 in the plasma state, not a piece of metal that can only exist under high pressure.

Fortunately, when the pressure talisman array was turned on, the flame talisman array was also turned on simultaneously.

Due to the extreme compression, the already very high temperature of helium-3 gas immediately exploded into a plasma state, and began to jump like a flame.
