Chapter 431 A Crazy Proposal

Second-generation, third-generation and miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion are only part of this plan.

Hearing Xu Chuan say this, the old man was somewhat shocked.

As for controlled nuclear fusion technology, he certainly has some understanding.

Putting aside the previous decades, even after the Dawn Demonstration Reactor Project was launched, he also supplemented a lot of relevant knowledge.

Deuterium-tritium (DT) controlled nuclear fusion, which is now the Dawn Demonstration Reactor, is the first generation of nuclear fusion technology in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, and it is also the easiest to achieve.

And after deuterium-tritium (DT) controlled nuclear fusion, there is the second generation of deuterium and helium fusion, and the third generation of pure helium fusion.

The second and third generation fusion, whether from the perspective of energy release or neutron irradiation damage, are much stronger than the first generation.

Of course, correspondingly, the difficulty of achieving second and third generation controlled nuclear fusion is naturally much higher. Not to mention that the words also include the miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion, which is also an extremely difficult technology.

However, this is only part of the grand plan he mentioned.

With just one sentence, the old man can imagine how huge the plan in the young man's mind is.

But he is also very curious about what kind of plan this is.

Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to the shock on the old man's face. He continued, "Not only controlled nuclear fusion, but also manned space flight, moon landing, Mars landing, moon and Mars colonies, etc. are all included in this plan."

"You should know that even if controlled nuclear fusion liberates energy, the resources and land on the earth are still limited, and we can't stop the pace of development, so in order to obtain more resources and land, our eyes will sooner or later look at the starry sky above our heads."

"There are endless resources and possibilities there."

"And on the premise that energy has been solved, we can liberate productivity one step ahead of other countries and look up at the sea of ​​stars above our heads. Whether it is the moon or Mars, it is a new continent for us."

"And in this plan, the scientific researchers in the Qixia controlled nuclear fusion project are our strength. We will do our best to preserve it and form a brand new organization."

"And in this organization, various technologies related to this plan can be gradually studied."

Hearing Xu Chuan say this, the old man couldn't help but swallow his air. Even for him, this plan can be said to be extremely crazy.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology has just been realized, and this man has already set his sights on the moon above his head, and even on Mars, planning colonization and other things.

Taking a deep breath, the old man couldn't help asking: "Is this step a bit too big?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "It's just restarting space travel, which is nothing."

After a slight pause, he continued: "If I want to transform Mars and make it our second home, so that we don't need any space suits, colonies, or building protection bases, so that people can live on Mars like they live on Earth, would you think I'm crazy?"

Hearing this idea, the old man's pupils shrank violently and his breathing became a little faster.

Transforming Mars? Make it a second home, so that they can live on Mars like they live on Earth.

With the current technology and their power, can this kind of thing really be done?

If this idea hadn't come from the mouth of the person in front of him, he would have thought that the other party had gone crazy.

But from the mouth of the person in front of him, he actually had a hint of expectation in his heart for some reason.

After all, if this is really done, it means expanding the territory!

For the people living on this land, expanding the territory for the motherland is the greatest achievement, honor and charm since ancient times! It is also the most desirable thing.

After taking two deep breaths, the old man calmed himself down: "Can you talk to me about this in detail?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "In fact, I have been thinking about this plan for a long time. Theoretically, we may be able to do it."

"At the end of last year, I saw a news report about the United States' "NASA's "Perseverance" Mars Rover successfully landed on Mars and sent back the first photo."

"In the later time, I collected some information about Mars."

"From the information I collected, Mars is quite close to the Earth in all aspects. When it was formed and developed in the early stage, it can be said that it is a pair of twins with the Earth, both of which are within the suitable line of life."

"The only difference Yes, in the early days of Mars, it may have had some accidents, causing the metal core of Mars to cool down. "

"The flow of the metal liquid core is the key to bringing a magnetic field to a planet, resisting stellar winds, and protecting the surface ecological environment. Just like our Earth, the magnetic field brought by the flow of the liquid core protects the atmosphere of the parent star and allows it to develop an environment suitable for the development of life. "

"Mars is not so lucky. Its core may have cooled too early, causing it to lose most of its magnetic field. "

"If we can find a way to reactivate the core of Mars and make it flow, Mars can regain its magnetic field. With a magnetic field, it has the ability to protect itself from stellar winds, and the atmosphere can be maintained. "

Hearing this, the old man frowned and asked, "Can this be done?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "If the core of Mars is completely cooled, I am afraid that with our current technology and capabilities, it is impossible to activate it."

"But from the information I have collected, the core of Mars has not completely cooled down. It may be in a semi-sleep state, or it may be in a state of recovery."

"The evidence for this is that Mars still has a weak magnetic field, and in recent years, Mars exploration satellites have observed signs of volcanic eruptions on Mars."

"No matter which one they are, they all need geological activity to support them, which means that the core of Mars may not be as 'cold' as we think."

"If that's the case, maybe I can actually reactivate the core of Mars and give it a magnetic field again."

Hearing this, the old man's heart started pounding. He thought for a while and asked: "Even if there is a magnetic field, what about the atmosphere? How are you going to solve the problem of the atmosphere? The atmosphere on Mars should be quite thin now, right?" There are water sources and so on, these are probably problems. "

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Yes, the current atmosphere on the surface of Mars is indeed very thin, so thin that humans cannot breathe on it."

"However, judging from the data I collected before, the surface soil of Mars contains a lot of carbon dioxide and other gases. If we can find a way to excite it, theoretically it should be enough to form a complete atmospheric cycle on the surface of Mars. mechanism."

"As for the water source, there is also solid water on the two stages of Mars, as well as in places such as the Mariner Grand Canyon. These things have been discovered by detectors."

"Of course, the specific number requires further detailed inspection."

"But judging from the data I collected, Mars does have the potential to be transformed and become our second home. It is also worthy of our investment in money, time and future."

"It's just that this should take a long time, maybe ten years, or even a hundred years. It may be necessary to bring other countries together to do this, but I think we can give it a try."

After a pause, Xu Chuan continued: "Of course, this is only the ultimate goal of this plan."

"Although we may not be able to see the ultimate goal of this plan, nor may it be realized in this era, as long as we start, those who come after us will definitely follow our footsteps."

"Moreover, in the early stages of this plan, we have not gained nothing. Developing the next generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology, aerospace technology, detection technology, colonization technology, etc. are all things we can and need to do."

“Even without the ultimate transformation plan I proposed, these things are the paths we need to take next, but I just connected them together.”

"With all due respect, although we are now leading the way in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, I believe that other countries will definitely invest crazy money in it. At the latest twenty years, or even ten years, they may develop a Our own controllable nuclear fusion technology.”

"After all, you also know that once a technology has been implemented, no matter how much confidentiality work is done, it is impossible to control it forever."

"Just like the nuclear bomb, after the Manhattan Project completed the development of the nuclear bomb, Hongsu developed his own nuclear bomb in just four years. Including us, we also developed it not too far away."

“When a technology has been completed, it is easy for latecomers to follow the footsteps of predecessors in crossing the river.”

“In the past, we helped others cross the river, but now it is others’ turn to help us cross the river.”

“So it is impossible to control controllable nuclear fusion technology forever. If we want to continue to lead in this field, it is undoubtedly the best choice to continue to invest money in it, develop next-generation products, and even expand to other fields. "

"After all, there is no reason why we should lag behind others in the future when we have mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology first."

After listening to Xu Chuan's grand plan and arrangements for the future, the old man took a few deep breaths to calm down.

I have to say that today's remarks can be regarded as deception, but he is indeed a little moved by this kind of deception.

But being excited is one thing, and whether he is sure to implement it is another. He still needs more suggestions and considerations.

Nodding, the old man replied seriously: "We will seriously consider your suggestion."
