Chapter 497: Fusion Core Miniaturization Opportunity

Not long after, Chu Siyuan led a team to bring the supplies and said politely: "Everyone, this is a gift from our company to scientific research institutions in various countries for free. I hope everyone can study it together. Each box contains about 120 kilograms of comet samples."

"Your company is really kind and righteous. Please be sure to convey our respect to Mr. Li, a world-renowned entrepreneur and a great scholar."

Scholars or members of research institutions in various countries were happy to learn that they had so many samples.

Chu Siyuan was also happy, but he wanted to laugh but had to hold it in and remain elegant, which was really uncomfortable.

After trying to adjust his mindset, he said in a polite tone: "According to our preliminary analysis, comet samples contain a large amount of toxin compounds, so please be sure to keep them safe and safe, so that they can be opened in a sealed environment in the laboratory."

After saying that, Chu Siyuan signaled the staff to distribute the samples to research institutions in various countries. First of all, domestic scientific research institutions. Xiao Chu directly gave three boxes to express his closeness and distantness, which made foreign scholars envious, and this made domestic scholars and members of research institutions laugh from ear to ear. It was good for their own people. Then no matter how many institutions in other countries came, each country was one box, and then you can divide them yourself.

"What's the hurry? 120 kg sample is indispensable."

"Oh Shet, Harvey, can you be careful? It contains interstellar material from outside the earth. It will be quite dangerous to leak it out. If there is an unknown virus, do you know the consequences?"

"Sorry, I'll be careful, ten thousand cautions, just a little excited!"

The scene suddenly became a noisy, and scientists were like "gods" in the eyes of ordinary people. However, now this scene is like a vegetable market. Some scholars directly slander their mother tongue and cursed angrily. This scene made Chu Siyuan feel like he was rushing into the cafeteria in junior high school, which was really funny.

Scientists are also human, it is human nature.

Finally, all the gangs were sent away.

"These guys didn't even say the last thank you when they got the things." Chu Siyuan saw the crowds away, and people from all over the country were clearly divided into their own groups and hurriedly left. He shook his head and headed towards the spaceship.

On the other side, Li Chuan, wearing an isolation suit, was in a main compartment with an ultra-low temperature environment of -150 degrees Celsius. He walked alone on a not-wide sidewalk. He gently pulled a drag ring on the compartment, and a colorless liquid appeared in front of him.

I gently reached out and shook it in the liquid object, and found it a little difficult, but it was not surprising. Although it was a liquid object, the density was extremely high. Those who didn't know thought it was water, but the water would freeze if it was below 0 degrees, and the temperature in the main compartment was minus 150 degrees.

"Zhong Jing!" Li Chuan murmured at the colorless and tasteless liquid object, and after a moment of thinking, he couldn't help but nod his head secretly.

This unknown element has no name yet, so give it a name. It is a crystallized body, a heavy element substance at room temperature, and has some metallic properties. The name "Zhong Jing" is quite vivid with the characteristics of the substance.

So, it was decided.

Then, Li Chuan came to another cabin, where a large amount of gray matter was piled up, which was the fundamental starting point for driving him to conduct interstellar mining this time, and the essential key resource for building a transition engine, l quantity field matter, that is, the so-called field matter.

Not long after, Chu Siyuan came. When Li Chuan saw him, he asked casually: "Are you sent away?"

Chu Siyuan nodded and smiled, "Well, we all left. After we got the stinky ice cube, we left happily."

Li Chuan couldn't help but smile. It was just a few pieces of ice-breaking substances, or a kind that was stinky. When he finally left the asteroid, he just made something casually. It was basically of no value to Li Chuan, but it was indeed extremely precious to them. Any extraterrestrial substance is the same, reflected in the research value.

And field matter and Zhong crystal are the real priceless treasures, and making money in silence is the kingly way.

"Hurry and send someone to transport everything back to the headquarters laboratory." Li Chuan said, and immediately felt refreshed and said expectantly: "With the theory, it has been confirmed, and the field material has also existed. Build a transition engine as soon as possible, and then transform the "Yuntian". If the progress goes well in the second half of this year, the second interstellar journey will start from the second half of this year. We will be able to go to Kuiper to explore the situation this year."

Originally, Li Chuan was not interested in the Kuiper Belt before this, and basically had little interest in the marginal world of the solar system for the time being. What made him interested were the development of Mars, the development of Titan and other celestial bodies, and the development of mining business of asteroid belts.

But all of this was discovered because of the discovery of the asteroid of 2028qa1 and the field matter above, which completely made Li Chuan's attention focus on the vast space area outside the Kuiper Belt, so that the transformation of immigration to Mars and the interstellar mining business of the asteroid Belt is no longer the first priority of the space exploration plan.

The asteroid of 2028qa1 brought field matter, and the Zhong crystal discovered unexpectedly all told Li Chuan that the periphery of the Kuiper Belt is very likely to be rich in more of these two kinds of material elements, and the periphery of the Kuiper Belt has become the place he dreamed of.

If it is really rich in a large number of these two interstellar minerals, it means that transition vehicles can be manufactured on a large scale. Humans can spread their active footprints throughout the solar system in just over ten years, and even expand outside the stellar circle.

For Li Chuan, it was an irresistible temptation.

When Chu Siyuan heard the boss decided to explore the periphery of the Kuiper belt at the edge of the solar system, he was also very excited and excited, and knew the purpose of Li Chuan going there.

Obviously, it is to get more field matter.

This time I went to the asteroid of 2028qa1, the field material brought back was not much, with only a mass of 27.8 tons. On the contrary, the Zhong crystal has more material. Although only 20% of the collection ratio was divided, the collection quality reached about 153 tons. This is due to the liquid state and open-air collection of Zhong crystals in the universe environment, which is much easier than the collection site material.

However, the density of Zhong crystals is much higher than that of the field substance, and the volume of all Zhong crystals is only one-third of the field substance.

The 27.8 tons of field materials seem to be a lot, but if you want to upgrade the "Wentian" spacecraft to a transition engine, you can't leave much of the 27.8 tons of field materials on the "Wentian" anymore.

After waiting for more than half an hour, six heavy trucks arrived at the third launch site. The spacecraft opened the cabin again and first unloaded all the materials on the field from the spacecraft. The mass of less than 30 tons was almost the load capacity of a heavy truck.

Then the Zhong crystal is transported. It is very convenient to load Zhong crystals in the ultra-low temperature storage compartment. The load used is a cylindrical dissolving tube, about 45 cm long and a diameter of about 18 cm.

The Zhong crystal crystal quickly crystallizes as soon as it reaches the room temperature environment. Interestingly, its volume has not even changed at all. How big is it in liquid state or so in solid state, and what has changed is only the physical state.

A loader and unloader saw the dissolving tubes placed on display in the goods. When he walked to him, he picked them up and was stunned.

"What's this? So heavy?"

I never expected that such a small cylinder could not be lifted with one hand. It can be seen that the density of Zhong crystal is so high that I had to hold it with both hands and spend a lot of effort to get it done.

The entire heavy truck container is only half laid, and the maximum load capacity is immediately reached after one layer is laid.

If the volume of Zhong crystal is based on the volume of Zhong crystal, the entire space is only 7.5% of a heavy truck container. In the end, all Zhong crystals are transported by five vehicles.

During the loading and unloading period, Li Chuan had already returned to the R&D center of the company's headquarters for research.

The laboratory started preparing a week ago and was ready. With the birth of Li Xuan, Li Chuan himself spent more time with his wife and children, while experimental development was conducted through special living organisms. It is truly perfect for both career and family.

However, this requires a strong ability to "one heart and two use" and a strong brain to control it. Obviously, Li Chuan can easily do one heart and two use. I once talked easily and easedly when interviewing the media, and at the same time, special living organisms are also doing space operations in outer space.

If you can't do "one-minded and multi-purpose", it may happen that the special living organisms here are doing research. On the other hand, I was suddenly excited and said a lot of theories, which would be very embarrassing.

When Li Chuan came to the laboratory, Eva Yelianna's original deity was also on the list. At the same time, his special living body was coming with Li Chuan. It has to be said that this Russian girl who "entered the wrong career" was very talented. Although she was engaged in the field of aerospace, this would not hinder her talent in quantum theory. In the distance, some geniuses such as Gatlin were a doctor at the beginning, and finally built the Gatlin machine gun; in the recent, Chu Siyuan, a young genius, studied engineering control major, but fortunately Li Chuan was poached, otherwise such talents would have been buried in the 707th Institute.

It seems that he is able to dig Ye Lianna from the Russian Federal Space Administration, but now it is not only a big profit, but also a huge profit.

"Have the equipment been prepared?" Li Chuan said bluntly. The laboratory was prepared easily by Eva himself. A week ago, when the first phase of collection was just being carried out on the surface of the asteroid, Eva completed the preliminary experimental analysis of Zhong Crystal. After the experiment was completed, she received Li Chuan's instructions and immediately prepared the laboratory at the company headquarters.

The effect of "quantum entanglement" is the same principle. No matter how far apart the special living body does, the ontology can instantly understand everything, so that such an efficient arrangement is achieved.

"It can be done at any time." Eva Yeliana affirmed.

"Then let's start and see if it can withstand high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees." Li Chuan closed his hands and poked it, obviously looking forward to it. The technical reserves for controllable thermal nuclear fusion have been ready, but the first generation of nuclear fusion technology cannot be miniaturized. It is also a big guy who can only play on the ground and cannot install the fusion core reactor on the spacecraft. Only miniaturization can be done.

Zhong Jingshi's unexpected discovery is undoubtedly an opportunity to break through miniaturization.
