Chapter 557: Chapter 558 Nuclear Pulse Engine
Two years passed in a hurry, and the space construction project was fast-wieled. A large number of Carter people boarded the transport ship and rushed to the asteroid belt thousands of miles from Soli.
Melun, who was directing the deployment of resources, suddenly received a message from an engineering ship manager.
"Mr. Mellon, the current construction plan is going very smoothly. There are a total of 1 million large engineering ships that have been completed. When will our first space warship be built?"
"Some key factors have not been solved yet. Wait a while."
"Mr. Myron, we are running out of time. Amoeba has only given us dozens of public rerouds. If we don't start building warships now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
The captain of the engineering ship affirmed his anxiety. This is not only him personally. He is just a representative, representing the Carter people of the whole engineering ship, and one million other engineering ships. They have been waiting for Melun's order to give orders. They have seen the time passing by, but they have not received the construction task for a long time. No To avoid anxiety.
"Then you should design and manufacture the keel of the warship first. Remember, it can only be the keel. Don't think too much, so that it will take time to modify the shaped warship."
Mellon stressed that the design layout of the battleship keel can only be started, and the captain of the engineering ship is a little unclear.
"At that time?"
"The technical team led by Dopps is working hard to develop a nuclear pulse engine and new weapons that can be used in space combat." Mellon explained.
The nuclear pulse engine, which used to exist only in the concept of science fiction, was to be made. The captain of the engineering ship almost thought he had heard it wrong, but he also realized that the intention of Melan was to wait. Relying on chemical propulsion to fight space war was to die. Bi Chong would be the dead hole of the chemical propulsion warship, so he needed a nuclear propulsion engine.
Good psychological quality made the captain of the engineering ship quickly accept the reality and ask questions. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
"How long do we have to wait?"
Mellon shook his head. "It won't take long. Soon."
Before he finished speaking, someone rushed in from outside the room. He leaned against the door breathlessly and held a folded paper in his hand. He looked tired, but his eyes did not look tired at all, but just excited.
"Wow...w, it's blown up, it's blown up!" The man shouted excitedly.
"What blew up?"
Other academic members in the room looked strangely at the excited man at the door.
"Hydromide bomb! Mr. Dopps, your nuclear fusion theory has been confirmed!"
The man quickly went to Dorpes and handed out the fold of paper in his hand. Dopps, who took over the paper, scanned the data on the paper seriously and got a disk sandwiched in it from the paper.
Fortunately, there is a projector in the room, and the images in the disk are projected, releasing a very strong and dazzling light from the slightly curved horizon. Behind the light is a huge shock wave and mushroom cloud, which is above the atomic bomb recognized by the academic members.
That's a hydrogen bomb, and this hydrogen bomb represents more than just power, which means that nuclear fusion is a feasible theory!
There was silence in the room for a while before Dopps broke the silence.
"How about the output of deium?"
"The denoium reserves in the Soli ocean are extremely rich, accounting for one-eighth of the total ocean mass. A large amount of demium can be extracted by simple centrifugation." The person who came to report answered truthfully.
"I know. Thank you for your hard work."
After the reporter left, he just proposed to use ions as a media academic member to speak.
"Mr. Dopps, may I ask the question you just mentioned..."
Dopps stopped the other party's words. He smiled and anyone could see how happy he was at this moment.
"No, it's not a problem anymore. Just now, the problem I want to talk about has been solved."
"Gentleb, nuclear fission is not suitable as the main energy source of nuclear energy engines. The scarcity of reactants and the harsh energy release conditions, I decided to add nuclear fusion to the design." Dopps solemnly announced.
