"Kunlun Yunxiao!"

"Nuclear-powered rockets!?"

"No, you actually said it lightly?"

"Can't it be fun for us? Nuclear power! Rocket!"

"Student Gaoyuan, can you not be so calm in everything?"

When the Plateau announced the news of the nuclear-powered rocket, countless spectators' foreheads were covered with black lines, because no matter from any perspective, the five words "Nuclear-powered rocket" are great inventions that shock the world, but the Plateau was like a person who was fine and simply told everyone.

"Yes, nuclear-powered rockets." Gao Yuan continued facing the camera: "The conventionally powered rockets in the Long March series will go down from today. Here, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to the Space Group and everyone involved in the Long March series."

"In the future, China's aerospace industry will be led by a powerful nuclear power system. Whether it is a space station or a planetary colonial base, it will use controlled fusion as the main energy."

Gao Yuan said as he turned around and quickly wrote and painted on the blackboard that had been prepared behind him.

A science and technology tree was painted on the plateau, one after another, and it was connected to each other through branches and leaves, and it continued to grow and grow.

"Some viewers may wonder why we suddenly have nuclear-powered rockets?" Gao Yuan smiled, "If you want me to say that, this is actually not sudden at all, but an inevitable one."

"As we all know, we just solved the problem of stable operation of controlled fusion not long ago and launched the Kunlun-1 fusion reactor. On top of Kunlun-1, we have triple constraints on plasma, that is, we already have the technology to perfectly control fusion energy."

"You may still remember our laser defense weapon, Kunlun Zenith."

"Kunlun Zen is to make plasma and emit it."

"Kunlun One strictly restricts plasma."

"Now we have launched Kunlun Yunxiao again. Kunlun Yunxiao's ability is to manufacture, control, and accurately release plasma."

The plateau finger tapped on the blackboard to connect Kunlun Zenith, Kunlun No. 1, and Kunlun Cloud Sky, showing the audience a complete scientific and technological research and development route. When countless such scientific research routes are gathered together, they are the so-called science and technology tree.

"Now everyone should understand." Gao Yuan said: "When science and technology accumulate to a certain level, it will produce qualitative changes from quantitative change."

"It took thousands of years for humans to understand the principle of the steam engine and enter the mechanical age. In just a hundred years after we entered the mechanical age, the earth underwent earth-shaking changes, and the intensity of the change was far more than in the past few thousand years and tens of thousands of years."

"This is the power of invention, the power of scientific research."

Gao Yuan talked freely and introduced the research and development process of nuclear-powered rockets to everyone, but due to the confidentiality of controllable fusion technology, Gao Yuan's introduction is mostly theoretical and does not involve specific details.

For most viewers, this is a good thing, because if there are too many formulas and data mixed in, everyone will not understand it. It is better to satisfy everyone's knowledge and not to leak core secrets.

After a hazy technology introduction, everyone was satisfied, except for those Western scientists.

Gao Yuan said it easy, but it is really that easy to convert controllable fusion into a nuclear-powered rocket?

No way.

As early as 1933 AD, the principle of controllable fusion was proposed by the scientific community. It has been a long time since scholars around the world studied this technology. So far, everyone has finally understood what to do with fusion reactors. As for fusion rockets, they only exist in the imagination of scientists, and the research progress is no more than 5%.

When Gao Yuan said that he used fusion reactor technology to reverse the fusion rocket technology, almost all scientists went crazy and built a nuclear-powered rocket with just one push? Is there any reason for this?

"Okay, the theoretical explanation has ended here. After all, we always like to convince others with actions. What is Kunlun Yunxiao's strength? Please wait for a moment and demonstrate it to you immediately!"

After finishing this technical explanation, Gao Yuan felt a little hurt in his throat, so he left the camera and went to the audience to drink water.

At this time, the Western Regions had already entered winter, and the air became drier and drier. The plateau was born in the south of the Yangtze River and was not particularly adaptable to the climate here.

"In two years, transforming this Gobi into an inland lake should be able to alleviate the dry climate of the Western Regions." Gao Yuan thought to himself.

This is probably the confidence brought to him by the controllable fusion technology. An inland artificial lake larger than Lake Baikal, and the plateau is really dared to think about it.

At the same time, under the high expectations, the live broadcast footage finally turned to the temporary launch site in the Tarim Basin, and people finally saw the entity of Kunlun Yunxiao.

The height is 161 meters and the weight is 3,042,000 tons. Compared with the giant Poseidon rocket in North America, Kunlun Yunxiao is much smaller, and is generally less than one-third of the Poseidon.

However, this is the first rocket in human history that uses nuclear fusion as power. If it succeeds in the test launch, it will undoubtedly completely subvert the aerospace industry and cause humans to move from the era of planetary land survival to the era of interstellar colonization.

"Awesome! So beautiful!"

"I can't describe my excitement at this moment. Boss Gao, please accept my knees!"

"A nuclear-powered rocket! In my lifetime, maybe I can also go to the moon to see it!"

"It must be successful! It must be successful! Whether Chinese civilization can rise and the space age depends on this time!"

"Come on, come on! Take a big ball and rush out!"

The barrage was refreshed wildly, and people were surprised by the dynamic flowing lines of Kunlun Clouds. At the same time, they also had high hopes for this launch, hoping that it could lead China and create a new era of the universe.

The seclusion from the Ming Dynasty made China miss the vigorous era of navigation and the era of geographical discovery objectively led to the humiliating history of China's hundreds of years of backwardness and beating.

If you do it again, no Chinese would be willing to miss the interstellar era again. After all, the painful memories of the past are too profound.

Only moving forward is the only direction of the Chinese nation. Anything that hinders us from moving forward must be killed without mercy.

Huh~

Gao Yuan drank two glasses of juice squeezed from the little red fruit, moistened his throat, returned to the stage, and his smile continued as usual.

“Are you ready?”

“Everything is ready.”

"Okay, launch!"

In the astonished eyes of the whole world, the plateau issued a launch order, which was simply unbelievable.

Following the steps, shouldn’t there be a huge red button, a plateau makes a generous speech, and then press it hard, and the onlookers are thundering and thundering, and their blood is boiling?

In response, Gao Yuan explained: "We are more than 100 kilometers away from the launch site. The highest control is not in my hands, but in the hands of the on-site commander. The on-site commander not only has to patrol on the spot and inspect every screw. After launching, the dust is rolled up in the sky, but he also has to eat dirt. The work is very hard and the responsibility is very heavy."

"Most of the launch scenes you see in the movie are like the tailoring ceremony of a newly built building. Those guys wearing straight suits and holding gold scissors, probably haven't even moved a brick, right?"

Although Gao Yuan is the boss of Kunlun Company and the chief scientific research manager appointed by the national team, whoever is on the scene has the final say in launching rockets.

The plateau also has to obey the on-site command orders, so there is no need to make any launch buttons. The thing is of the same nature as the building ribbon cutting, and they are all good things.

Boom~

When Kunlun Clouds began to eject azure light from the tail, the audience immediately understood why the plateau had to hide from the development and shooting site for more than 100 kilometers.

This momentum, this light, and this scene of flaming flames soaring into the sky are even more terrifying than the eruption of Mount Vesuvius!

It's too dangerous for him. Even if he wants to watch it up close, the national team will not allow it.

In an instant, the entire earth was covered with blue flames. This was not an ordinary flame, but a plasma sprayed by the fusion engine!

If you have watched the movie Wandering the Earth, you will understand how crazy the thrust generated by this thing is, but the earth's engine is jetting into space, pushing the Earth forward, while Kunlun Yunxiao is jetting into the ground, pushing itself into the sky.

Although the volume and energy index are very different, the fusion engine used by Kunlun Yunxiao and the recombination earth engine that wanders the earth are almost the same in principle.

As we all know, in theory, elements before iron can be fusion, but the difficulty of fusion is unremarkable. It looks like a fantasy no matter how you look at it. Even the fusion solution given to the plateau by the system only uses hydrogen and helium.

However, Liu Cixin found through calculations that hydrogen and helium were not enough to push the earth out of the solar system, so she set up the idea of ​​burning rocks, converting silicon and oxygen from the rocks into iron, and then spraying iron plasma with fusion energy. However, in reality, the possibility of recombination is slim.

Kunlun Clouds moved forward without any hesitation, carrying an incomparable huge power, and quickly disappeared into the camera lens, becoming a white spot of light on the radar screen.

accelerate!

accelerate!

Continue to accelerate!

Kunlun Yunxiao was like crazy, passing through the atmosphere, entering space, and plunged into the distant and unknown magical universe, and the speed became faster and faster.

"It's not a hierarchical rocket, but a whole!?"

"How to do the nuclear-powered rockets? Throw away the fusion compartment?"

"According to customary practice, once a rocket leaves the atmosphere, shouldn't it fall due to exhaustion of fuel?"

"Just kidding, how can it be exhausted if nuclear fusion fuel is not burned for a few years?"

The audience used the barrage to discuss it with great interest.

As the first nuclear-powered rocket in mankind, Kunlun Yunxiao's principles and performance are completely different from those of the rockets in the past. Most people are still unable to understand the powerful capabilities of the fusion rocket.

When Gaoyuan saw that Kunlun Yunxiao had entered space, he nodded with satisfaction, raised five fingers and said, "Five days!"

"NASA's Pioneer 10 is the first spacecraft in human history to arrive at Jupiter from Earth. It was launched on March 3, 1972 and arrived on December 3, 1973, and it flew for a total of 640 days."

"There is also the Juno spacecraft, which also comes from NASA, which was launched on August 6, 2011 and arrived on Jupiter on July 4, 2016, and took 1,795 days."

"It is not difficult to see from this that it is really difficult for us to reach Jupiter from Earth. After all, the shortest distance between Earth and Jupiter is 100 million kilometers, and the farthest distance is 778+150 million kilometers."

"But with Kunlun Clouds coming out of nowhere, all this will eventually become history."

"Kunlun Yunxiao will fly at five percent of the speed of light, accelerating and decelerating, and it will only take five days to enter Jupiter's orbit from the earth!"
Chapter completed!
