Chapter 516: Get the Fuel

Nanming's mobile phone number is kept secret, but it cannot be concealed from the intelligence organization of such a big country. On the phone, a person who claimed to be the head of the American Emperor's Overseas Technology Monitoring Center Grant said in a respectful tone: "Sir, on behalf of the Deputy Mr. President, I would like to convey my respect to you and thank you for your contribution to the United States, sir! If you have any needs, you can tell us, and we will do our best to meet your needs, sir!"

The word Sir, the subtitle group in China will translate it to Changguan. It is also a novel experience for Nanming to be called sir one by one in this tone. He said: "You are Grant, Xiaoge, you OK."

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have dealt with this person.

"Yes, I am, sir!" Grant answered firmly, with the feeling of a subordinate to a superior.

Nan Ming was speechless secretly, the big sister's house is really powerful.

These people really worked hard to get the big sisters in the house, maybe this brat Lu Rongrong really collected some treasures.

The authority of empathy allows Nanming to transfer all misfortunes and dangers to these people, and under the authority of "dedication", the more they want to get this box, the more they want to dedicate and sacrifice to Nanming. Serve.

This is the terrible power of authority.

After a previous experiment, they just made a major discovery that simply changed the world and subverted all worldviews. This made their desire to serve Nanming to the highest point.

"You said you have any request?" Nan Ming rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea.

If anyone in this world has the highest tritium stock, it must be Yingjiang. Qingzhong Yang dared not get things for Nan Ming, and these people on the other side of the ocean might have a way.

"Yes, sir!" Grant said.

At this moment, on the other side of the ocean, in the underground of the secret base outside of Seattle, Grant was using his mobile phone to contact Nan Ming. There was another person stretching his neck with an eager look beside him. It was the man from the army, the military base. principal.

Grant didn't want this guy to listen too much, so as not to steal his limelight, but this man also looked anxious, and when he heard Nan Ming's question, he hurriedly answered: "I am a member of the U.S. Army Equipment Command Major Kevin Bailey is always at your service, sir!"

Seeing that the boy in military uniform had green eyeballs, shining like a wolf, Grant felt something was wrong.

When he first moved to this military base, Grant had some bad premonitions, and now this feeling is even more obvious. Although under the hood of dedication authority, his judgment has declined, but seeing Kevin Bailey Grant knew that it was broken, and the Army wanted this box too!

If he could, Grant would have kicked the guy away and yelled, "Go to hell, this box is mine!"

"Hey, there's the army?" Nan Ming felt that it was really lively there, but he didn't care, and said, "Can you get me nuclear fuel?"

"Nuclear fuel?" Grant struggled, this is not an easy thing to get!

However, Kevin Bailey over there has already started to answer: "Sir, I can get low-enriched uranium!"

"Low-enriched uranium...is fine, how much can I get?" Nan Ming didn't plan to play nuclear fission at first, but he would be a fool if he had uranium and didn't want it.

Nuclear energy is not in the same order of magnitude as all other energy sources used by humans before. There is a term called "energy density", which is used to describe the energy efficiency of something.

When every kilogram of gasoline reacts completely with oxygen, it can produce 47.3 megajoules of energy.

For reference, every kilogram of lithium battery can only store 0.72 megajoules of energy, so Nanming said that the battery is evil. Even if Nanming uses new technology to expand its capacity to 10 times, it only has 7.2 megajoules of energy .

And every kilogram of 3.5% low-enriched uranium can produce 3,456,000 megajoules of energy in a light water reactor, that is, per kilogram of 3.5% low-enriched uranium. When converting this ratio for the first time, Nan Ming felt that his mathematics was not good enough...

For another analogy, if someone makes an XY axis chart to represent energy density, the scale of this Y axis is 50, and then prints this coordinate system icon on A4 paper, the lithium battery is almost at the bottom of the first A4 paper, The scale is less than 1, gasoline is on top of the first A4 paper, and the scale is almost 50.

And assuming that a box of A4 paper is 5 packs, each pack of 500 sheets, where is the scale of the energy density of the nuclear reactor?

The answer is at the position where 30 boxes of A4 papers are piled up, and these A4 papers are piled up to be 12 meters high!

If these A4 papers are put together one by one to display a complete table, then the point where the uranium fission of the light water reactor is 2 kilometers away...

To some extent, this is a gap beyond the limit of human imagination.

The energy density of controllable nuclear fusion is hundreds of times that of light water reactors.

So, no matter what, nuclear energy is efficient, high efficiency, as long as it is nuclear energy, fusion and fission Nan Ming doesn't care much.

When Grant saw it, he became anxious, and quickly reported to Nanminghui: "Sir, we just conducted research on your box and made a very important discovery."

The Grant machine gun generally stated all the results of the experiment just now.

Nan Ming was a little shocked when he heard that the box he had strengthened was so strong.

It turns out that my authority is more terrifying than nuclear energy?

Seeing how shocked Nan Ming was, Lazy God was speechless. He said, "Is there anything strange about this? You primitive humans, who have mastered nuclear energy, can only be regarded as an introduction to classical quantum mechanics. After that, you need to go through the transformation of two basic physical theories. Do you think that human beings rely on authority to move across the universe and fight various powerful races in the universe, do you rely on bragging?"

Nan Ming felt that his brain was not enough, and the lazy god smiled and said: "Boy, take your time! I still have a lot to teach you!"

Go away, what did you teach me? Nan Ming rolled his eyes.

When Grant and Bailey were fighting for favor over there, the office door suddenly opened, and a man strode in, grabbed the phone and called out: "Sir, I am Brick Wood, an engineer from the National Ignition Laboratory, can I Get tritium, repeat, I can get tritium!"

Seeing how powerful this box is, how could the National Ignition Laboratory bear it? The engineer thinks they can use that box to create the world's first working controlled fusion matter, just by being able to open it up and modify it...

If it can be opened.

"Xiao Ge, Xiao Bai." Nan Ming said, the other side suddenly became quiet, waiting for Nan Ming's words with bated breath.

"You two have fallen out of favor, give the engineer the phone." Nan Ming said.

Grant was stunned for a while, and reluctantly gave the phone to Wood, who immediately smiled and said, "Sir, how much tritium do you need?"

"Tritium...give me 30...no, just 50 grams." Nan Ming said.

Wood was stunned, 50 grams?

The National Ignition Laboratory consumes less than 2 grams of tritium once it is lit, and the energy it releases is already terrifying. 50 grams is enough for more than 20 experiments!

If anyone knew that he had given the 50 grams of tritium to Nan Ming, he would have become a traitor immediately.

But the more you want, the more you have to pay. This is the horror of dedication authority.

Wood gritted his teeth for a while, and finally said slowly: "Okay, I will do my best..."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Xiao Wu." Nan Ming happily hung up the phone, and made a victory gesture to the brats around him: "The nuclear fuel is done!"

"Uncle Ming, is 50 grams of tritium enough?" Chen Haocong, who was studying hard from the book, raised his head and asked.

"As long as 50 grams of tritium is used as a neutron source and reaction catalyst, the fusion reaction can be started." Nan Ming said, "Other things are easy to get. Deuterium is abundant, and you can buy it wherever you want. "

"As long as deuterium and tritium are enough?" Chen Haocong stared.

"Of course not enough, but we still have a third material, lithium." Nan Ming smiled. Lithium is an ultra-light metal with an atomic number of 3, and it is also a very good fusion material. Tritium is actually produced internationally by bombarding lithium with neutrons , Tritium will be continuously produced from energy sources.

"I remember there is still a lot of lithium in the warehouse." Nan Ming said, what is this place? This is Nanxia Battery. Originally, Nanxia Battery planned to produce lithium batteries, and there are piles of lithium in the warehouse.

Alright, let's clear out the inventory.

(Counting that ratio almost exhausted me, and I caught a cold, which was very serious and painful...)
