Chapter 1060 Secret Talk Late at Night
"Speak quickly!"
Chen Lao glanced at Su Mo speechlessly, with a very helpless expression.
This kid is fine with everything, just...
Oh, it's indescribable!
"Cough-cough-"
Yang Xing took a step forward with a somewhat restrained expression on his face, "The head of state, Mr. Chen, today's experiment is quite successful, because of the device, we can only simulate the explosion of a hydrogen bomb about one ten thousandth of the sun's interior for the time being. The energy generated is also extremely terrifying.”
"According to the energy exporter, the energy converted today can supply the imperial capital for about three months."
"what?!"
When the head of state and Chen Lao heard the result, they were deeply shocked.
They all know that the artificial sun, the ultimate energy experimental project, will benefit the entire human race if successful, but they are still frightened by such a terrifying conversion rate.
Just one experiment, can the converted energy supply the imperial capital for three months?
Omg!
This is... terrifying!
The head of state took a deep breath and asked, "How long does it take for the artificial solar device to run once?"
"Eight hours."
Su Mo's eyes flashed, and he explained: "The current technology is not stable. After several more energy conversions, the experimental period will gradually shorten. In three days, I am confident that the operation period will reach within eight hours."
"Eight... eight hours?"
The head of state was shocked, he knew exactly what this meant.
The operating cycle only takes eight hours, which means that three energy conversions can be carried out a day.
In disguised terms, that is, the time the artificial sun runs for a day, and the energy converted into it can be used by the imperial capital for nine months.
Thinking of this, his breathing became heavier.
"hiss--"
Chen Lao on the side sucked in a breath of cold air. He quickly stabilized his mind and asked, "What was the cost of that energy conversion?"
"Not energy conversion."
Su Mo shook his head slightly and corrected: "It's heavy nuclear fission, that is, nuclear fusion."
Boss Chen waved his hand, "This is not important, you kid quickly answer my question."
Su Mo shrugged, "If it were the previous one, the cost of performing nuclear fusion would be quite expensive, because the loss of the ignition device is very large. The ignition device needs to be replaced every ten times."
"However, now the ignition device is made of flint gold, and the durability is very high. At least five years, there is no need to worry about loss, and heavy nuclear fission can be carried out day and night."
"In this way, the cost of that experiment was very low, very low."
The head of state said quickly: "Be specific."
A flash of pride flashed across Su Mo's face, and he said solemnly: "Various decelerators and hydrogen elements, plus the loss of parts and components, if converted into Xia coins, the cost of a comprehensive fission is about one million yuan. about."
One million may seem like a lot, but it is completely incomparable when compared to the huge amount of energy converted.
Hearing this, the head of state and Chen Lao looked at each other silently, and a storm surged in their hearts.
One million summer coins can be exchanged for three months of energy supply to the imperial capital?
This is simply a profit!
However, the two were not ordinary people after all, and they quickly grasped the main point of Su Mo's words.
The head of state frowned, with a little worry in his tone, "Su Mo, according to what you said, even if the ignition device can be used for five years, what about after five years?"
From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult.
"This, I haven't thought of a solution yet."
Su Mo didn't hide it, and directly showed up, "Currently, the flint gold mine in the Hull Mountains is still being mined. Yesterday, I contacted Li Zhenghai, director of the Geological Bureau."
"After the latest detection, the reserves of the flint gold mine are still quite rich. It is conservatively estimated that the reserves of flint gold in the mine should be more than 30 tons. The current ignition device consumes nearly four tons of flint gold. That is to say, the remaining flint gold can make almost seven sets of ignition devices."
"Seven sets of ignition devices plus the one currently in use, the two artificial solar devices can be used for 20 years without restraint, and 20 years should be enough for our country to find a new solution."
Having said that, Su Mo looked at Yang Xing and said slowly, "Senior Yang, you have worked hard in today's experiment, so go back and rest first."
Yang Xing is naturally not a dull person. Seeing Su Mo say this, he knows what he is going to talk about next, and he is not qualified to listen.
He nodded, saluted the head of state and Chen Lao respectfully, turned and left the experimental site.
After Yang Xing left, Su Mo brought the head of state and Chen Lao to the high platform, and said generously, "You two bosses, sit down."
The two of them didn't say anything and sat down silently, waiting for Su Mo's next words.
Su Mo pondered and said slowly: "Führer, Chen Lao; to tell you the truth, I don't plan to let the two artificial solar devices provide energy to our country right now."
"Um?"
The head of state was stunned for a while, and then realized something, "Don't you want the artificial solar device to serve the large energy shield you designed?"
"correct."
Su Mo nodded and explained in a deep voice: "I know that you will definitely have a lot of doubts, but I will answer them one by one."
"Regarding the large-scale energy shield, I believe that the head of state and Chen Lao do not know much about it. The protection range of the large-scale energy shield is the entire Xia Kingdom, which is too wide. Because of this, the energy required is even more astronomical."
"So, I am going to build 100 large-scale energy storage stations, two artificial solar devices for nuclear fusion energy conversion day and night, as energy reserves for large-scale energy shields."
"Once the situation I was worried about happened, the large energy cover can be opened instantly, and there is no need to worry about the energy issue."
After speaking, Su Mo looked at the two of them, waiting for their opinions.
After all, this is just his suggestion, and it is up to the head of state to decide what to do.
Hearing Su Mo's plan, the head of state frowned slightly, "Is this a bit of a waste, co-authoring us to conquer the ultimate energy source, not intending to benefit the people of our country at all?"
Chen Lao nodded slightly. He also did not agree with this proposal, but because of Su Mo's face, he did not choose to refuse directly, but tentatively suggested: "Otherwise, we can make two artificial suns. The devices have their own division of labor, one provides energy storage for the large energy shield, and the other converts the energy for the people to use.”
"Second old man, don't rush to veto."
Su Mo was not surprised at all by the reaction of the two, he slowly stretched out three fingers, "Three years, if the things I'm worried about don't happen within three years, then the energy generated by the two artificial solar devices, and the energy generated by one hundred large All the stored energy in the energy reserve station can be used.”
Having said this, his face became very solemn, "But once the thing I worry about happens, it will require too much energy, so the boy suggested that it is more safe to follow my plan."
His attitude is not tough, but there is a hint of non-rejection.
