Vol 2 Chapter 1169: Why secretly go to the moon to mine helium III...

In the past two years, Lei Tiantang himself did not stop his pace of development. In the solar system, through constant outings, he built secret underground bases on the planets and satellites that can build bases in the entire solar system. It laid a solid foundation for the solar system defense circle plan.
And they also have a relatively detailed understanding of the entire solar system, and the process of collecting data is not different from the star system on the body of the small black hole, which they named "New Home". There is a tickling probe. , But a large part of the data on the solar system was collected by Lei Tiantang and Kua’s father in the past.
Through the comparison of the detailed detection data of these two star systems, Lei Tiantang and Kuafu have a deeper understanding of the formation and development of the star system, as well as a more understanding of this mysterious universe.
And this kind of understanding has once again increased the speed of some of their related researches. In the past two years, many technical problems have been broken through. Even the planetary spacecraft they are planning is at the end of research and development. But it's incomparable to the spacecraft "Lunar" spacecraft that they have set as a satellite class.
The other design problems and manufacturing problems of this spacecraft have been solved. The last remaining problem is the power system, and the core of this power system is the real third-generation nuclear fusion reactor, which is to use helium-3 completely. The fuel for the nuclear fusion reaction.
"Boss, I am puzzled! What do you think? Your own reserves of helium 3 seem to add up to more than 2 million tons, right? Your reserves are not much less than the helium 3 found on the moon.
So much helium 3 is enough for us to use it for at least 10,000 years, right? You must know that even if it is calculated according to the current energy consumption of the entire planet, if the energy consumed by the entire planet in a year is provided by helium 3, it will consume at most 200 tons that year.
Even if our spacecraft has two Helium-3 nuclear fusion reactors and uses full power when flying in space, we can't use 100 tons in one year of flying.
So the question is, are you actually planning to take advantage of this company's opportunity to test tourist spacecraft to secretly mine some helium 3 on the moon? I don't know what mentality you are! "Quafu complained while working.
"Cut! What do you know! This is a feeling, don't you understand? Yes! I can't use up more of the helium-3 that I store, but what is the main purpose of our spacecraft?
It’s to go to the distant universe to perform missions, then the problem is, if I use the helium 3 I collected from the body of the small black hole as the fuel for our spacecraft, it will make me feel sorry for myself. Feeling of home!
If we really use this spacecraft to go to the body of the small black hole in the future, I would definitely prefer to use the helium 3 mined from the moon as fuel, because this will give me a little psychological comfort and use the materials from my hometown on the road. It will save me the homesickness that may arise. This is the reason why I do it! "
Lei Tiantang’s answer made Kuafu a little dazed. He rolled his eyes and said: "You can bullshit! It's homesickness. You see, every time you sneak up to the solar system to wave Everyone is happy. If this is to leave the solar system and go to the universe, it will be crazy there!
In this case, you tell me this, do you think I will believe it? What's the situation on the moon now, can you still not understand? Every country is vying for territory there. Are you afraid of exposing your plan?
If you really follow the reason you said, if you want to use the solar system's helium 3 as fuel, there is no need to secretly mine it from the moon. The helium 3 resource detected by our probe on Mercury is comparable to that of the moon. There are not many at all.
Even in terms of the content of helium-3, Mercury's surface soil contains more helium-3 content than that of the moon. Wouldn't it be more convenient to mine there and would not be found? So you can tell me what you are thinking about now, it's not a big deal! "
This is not Kuafu’s nonsense. There are still very few helium-3 resources on the earth. This is mainly due to the earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, which prevent the helium-3 atoms in solar radiation from reaching the earth.
The helium-3 element on the entire earth is basically derived from the tritium nucleus (superheavy hydrogen) through beta decay. The abundance of tritium is inherently scarce, so the helium-3 element on the earth is even more pitiful, and the purification cost is very high. , The total amount of helium-3 that can be used by humans on the earth is only about half a ton.
The helium 3 used by the Interstellar Age Institute to study the second-generation nuclear fusion reactor was basically collected in their own nuclear fusion reactor, and can only be used for some experiments, not that they don’t want to have a large amount of experimental materials. But collecting or mining helium-3 on the earth is too laborious~EbookFREE.me~ But helium-3 on the moon is very rich. It is estimated that the whole moon can be mined with helium-3 elements up to 200 More than ten thousand tons, if all used for nuclear fusion reaction, can provide mankind with thousands of years of energy supply.
Inside the sun, the process of fusion of hydrogen to helium is taking place. One of the reactions is the fusion of a protium nucleus and a deuterium nucleus, combining them into helium-3.
This reaction is mainly carried out in a very small core area of ​​the star. Most of the helium-3 will continue to fuse into a stable helium-4, and only a very small part of the helium-3 element will leave the reaction zone and then reach the surface of the sun through the solar wind. Blow around.
The moon has no magnetic field and atmosphere. The helium-3 element in the solar wind will reach the lunar surface and be evenly distributed in the lunar soil. Although the total amount of helium-3 blown by the solar wind is very small, it has been With the accumulation of billions of years, this amount will accumulate very impressively.
However, the earth's thick atmosphere and geomagnetic field block the helium-3 element out, and it is impossible to reach the ground. This is the reason why helium-3 is scarce on the earth and there are many on the moon.
In this case, of course, Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, will have more helium-3, because Mercury does not have an atmosphere like the earth and Venus, so it will also receive the helium-3 spilled from the sun, and Because it is closer to the sun, the content of helium-3 will only be higher than that of the moon.
So Kuafu sneered at this explanation of his boss. There is more helium-3 on the moon than on Mercury? For them, the distance of Mercury is not a big problem. The fastest time to go back and forth in half a month is not a delay.
