Chapter 184 A New Source of Power

Han Yang knew that Captain Wolfe would definitely agree to Wang Qing's request.

This was because of Governor Malendin's face. After all, Wang Qing was saved by Governor Malendin. Second, Wang Qing himself was also appreciated by Captain Wolfe. He knew what kind of person Wang Qing was.

Third, the asteroid belt was indeed quite chaotic, and it just needed a strong person like Wang Qing to suppress it.

You are now considered to have made meritorious service. If you go there, how can you not do a good job?

Han Yang certainly had his own considerations in pushing Wang Qing to serve in the asteroid belt.

At this stage, any resistance army in the entire solar system is only active on the surface of the planet. They can only survive by relying on the complex environment of the living base, the chaotic social order, and the many poor people as cover. There is no space force at all.

Not to mention the interstellar battleship, there is not even a private spaceship.

If Han Yang had not been secretly assisting them over the years, those resistance armies could not even afford guns, let alone buy spaceships that cost more than 1 billion.

But this situation is not acceptable.

Just fighting on the surface of the planet can't shake the foundation of the Itar people's rule, nor can it threaten the fundamentals of the Itar people.

In any case, no matter what method is used to resist the Itar people, it will eventually fall on one path: the interstellar fleet.

Nowadays, with the continuous development of the Yu Shenxing base, the continuous improvement of industrial capacity, the increasingly advanced technology, and the growing resistance forces under his own assistance, Han Yang believes that it is time to push the resistance forces to complete the upgrade from the surface of the planet to the interstellar space.

First, the interstellar pirates who fought small-scale gradually developed into a huge interstellar fleet. And the combat effectiveness of the interstellar fleet must be slowly cultivated from the beginning as an interstellar pirate, dealing with the guard fleet.

There are many planets in the asteroid belt, which is difficult for the Itar people to manage, and there are many dark areas, which are suitable for the development of interstellar pirate forces.

With Wang Qing as a "protective umbrella", Han Yang can also be more targeted.

As for the rebel organization, the Survival Society, which mainly entrenched in the asteroid belt and launched resistance and rebellion actions, Han Yang did not consider too much about the situation after Wang Qing arrived.

If we can't even deal with Wang Qing, let alone the more difficult and dangerous situations in the future, and we can't take on more difficult tasks in the future, it's better to be wiped out earlier, so that I can free up my hands to cultivate the rest of the resistance forces that are capable of taking on the task.

At this moment, the Yushenxing base.

In the scientific research center, the interior of a building more than 50 meters high has been cleared. In it, there is an extremely large device.

The main body of this device is a huge sphere with a diameter of about ten meters. The sphere is connected to dense cables and pipes, and there are hundreds of unknown equipment and operating tables next to it.

Hundreds of robots, more robotic arms, and intelligent devices are busy working, conducting the last inspection of this device.

After everything was finally completed, Han Yang gave a solemn order.

"The 103382nd nuclear fusion ignition test begins!"

Under the operation of the intelligent device, a deuterium-tritium fuel ball came to the core of the reaction ball under the control of the magnetic field.

In the huge power supply, hundreds of laser transmitters simultaneously fired lasers, which converged on the fuel ball. In an instant, the temperature of the fuel ball rose to hundreds of millions of degrees.

Such a high temperature finally caused nuclear fusion to begin. As a result, unparalleled light and heat were released from the fuel ball, and at the same time, a large number of fast neutrons appeared.

In deuterium-tritium fusion, up to 70% of the energy is released in the form of fast neutrons.

These fast neutrons violently bombarded the lithium alloy on the inner wall of the reaction ball, converting lithium elements into tritium elements while also releasing a large amount of heat.

And these heat and light were converted into electrical energy through heat conduction devices and photoelectric conversion devices.

At the same time, the tritium elements generated by fast neutrons bombarding lithium elements also returned to the fuel tank again, mixed with deuterium gas, and made new fusion fuel balls, which were once again sent to the reaction ball to receive laser bombardment.

This is the so-called tritium self-sustaining. That is, the amount of tritium gas consumed can also be generated. Without external supplementation, tritium gas can continuously maintain the deuterium-tritium fusion.

On the power generation device connected to the nuclear fusion reactor, part of the electric energy is output, and the other part of the electric energy flows back to maintain the operation of the laser transmitter and the nuclear fusion device itself.

This is the so-called "Q value".

The ratio of the energy produced by the nuclear fusion device to the energy required to maintain the operation of the nuclear fusion device itself is called the Q value.

Obviously, the existence of the nuclear fusion device is meaningful only when the Q value is greater than one. Otherwise, the energy produced by fusion is not enough to maintain your own operation, and you have to supplement energy from the outside. What use do I have for you?

At this moment, after a series of close observations, Han Yang calculated that the Q value of this new generation of fusion device reached 16.

That is, the nuclear fusion device produced 16 portions of energy, consumed only 1 portion itself, and can output 15 portions.

Han Yang was full of relief.

"It's worth all the time and investment of resources and computing power. Today, the nuclear fusion device has finally become practical."

This nuclear fusion device was built by Han Yang himself using his own industrial system, without any "imported" parts.

This means that Han Yang has fully and thoroughly mastered the nuclear fusion technology. Although it is still far behind the technology of the Itar people, it is good enough as a start.

Although the efficiency is not high enough at the moment, it is enough to do some other things.

While continuing to carry out experiments, researching more advanced configurations and better-performing materials, and doing their best to improve the Q value, on the other hand, Han Yang's self-made Newborn spacecraft has also undergone a new round of new transformation.

The natural gas power generation device was directly dismantled and replaced with a nuclear fusion power generation device.

After this period of iteration, the performance of the ion thruster has also been greatly improved. At this moment, with a more abundant energy source, it immediately exerted the performance that Han Yang did not dare to expect in the past.

Above the orbit of Jade, the tail of the Newborn spacecraft ejected a bright ion jet, and its own speed increased rapidly. In just one day, it increased from the orbital speed to the escape speed, successfully breaking free from the gravity of Jade and rushing into the vast space.

The average acceleration reached 12! Moreover, with the same mass of fuel, the acceleration duration was directly increased by 15 times from the original six days to 90 days!
