Homo sapiens

Chapter 631 Levi's Ring
The dense light spots emitted by the six-clawed giant lasted for more than three months.

Until the beginning of the 8th year of Xinghe, the various cosmic monitoring stations did not detect dense light spots, no, there were still occasional one or two light spots popping up.

This is obviously the result of the civil war in the six-claw civilization.

But which side won, the Space Reconnaissance Department did not analyze it.

However, during the three-month fierce battle, the Cosmic Reconnaissance Department detected at least 28.6 flashes of light, which means that at least 28.6 nuclear bombs were detonated during the fierce battle of the six-claw civil war.

It's just terrifying.

You must know that this is not a miniature hydrogen bomb used by Homo sapiens to propel the spacecraft, but a nuclear bomb with an equivalent of tens of thousands of tons, and generally a million tons of equivalent.

This shows how cruel the civil war of the six-claw civilization is.

Homo sapiens company also released a lot of relevant information about this civil war of six-claw civilization within the company, so that all employees can feel a little "six-claw shock".

Moon.

In the Mendeleev crater on the back.

There is a large base here, named Mendeleev Base City.

The base city is mainly engaged in the scientific research of spacecraft and belongs to the space business department. At this time, a brand new engine is being tested inside the base.

Even Mikoyan came over in person, and the person in charge of researching this new engine is Karl.

Engineer Karl was engaged in the research and development of aero-engines before. Later, with the deepening of the research and development of aero-engines by Homo sapiens' major aviation groups and the blowout of various talents, Karl felt that he should start a new business.

As for the development of outer space by the Space Division, coupled with the invitation of old friends, Engineer Karl chose to transfer to the Space Division.

This is more than four years.

Finally got to check the results today.

"Carl, are you sure?" Mikoyan's synchronous robot had a trace of worry on its face.

Because the previous research on the spacecraft engine at the Mendeleev base was not going well, this is not because there is a problem with the scientific research level of Karl and others, but because the direction of their research is very difficult.

The aerospace engine research direction of the Mendeleev base city is a nuclear fusion engine, and it is not a nuclear explosion propulsion engine.

They had studied on the earth for two years before. With the improvement of the development progress of the moon, the space business department moved the research institute to the back of the moon, and Karl's team studied on the back of the moon for more than two years.

During this period, their research has been in a difficult stage.

Today's test made Mikoyan also have to worry.

"Don't worry! I'm confident this time." Carl's synchronous robot was full of confidence.

Through the observation window, the two could see a large engine with a nozzle diameter of about 5 meters being installed on a huge aerospace engine test platform.

A large number of synchronous robots are busy checking the work, preparing for the next first actual test.

The nuclear fusion engine designed by Karl's team uses a variant of the tokamak device.

Specifically, it is to change the closed loop magnetic field of the tokamak device into a closed loop magnetic field combined with an open spiral magnetic field.

Among them, there are six tokamak rings, but only one helix magnetic field. Between the six tokamak rings and the helix magnetic field, channels can be opened or closed.

Among them, the technology of the tokamak ring has been difficult to produce before. It is not that the electricity cannot be generated, but the Q value (commissioning ratio) is too low. Even if the Homo sapiens company has strong technology, there is no way to refresh the Q value to 3.

In addition, miniaturization of the tokamak device is also very difficult.

Until Dr. Levi's improved the tokamak device, using wake field acceleration and magnetic field confinement, plus gamma ray plasma heating technology, recombined the variant tokamak ring.

The modified tokamak ring not only easily heats the temperature of atoms to 12.7 billion degrees Celsius, but also greatly increases the acceleration of atoms by an order of magnitude, and the control accuracy is further improved.

The improved version of the Tokamak ring, also known as the "Levi's ring", has a very fast nuclear fusion reaction, and ordinary hydrogen atoms can be used as raw materials, without the need to extract heavy water and other radioactive elements.

Of course, the Levi's ring can also carry out other nuclear fusion reactions, such as helium nuclear fusion, lithium nuclear fusion, beryllium nuclear fusion, and boron nuclear fusion.

That is to say, in the Levi's ring, after the hydrogen element is put in, hydrogen fusion will first occur, and after the hydrogen is transformed into helium, helium fusion will proceed again, and so on.

This advantage is really too powerful.

It not only increases the Q value of nuclear fusion to 76.2, but also makes the fuel of nuclear fusion no longer limited to radioactive isotopes such as deuterium and helium 3.

This advantage allows the spacecraft to easily obtain nuclear fuel supplies during its voyage in interstellar space.

Although interstellar space looks empty, it is actually dense with a lot of interstellar dust and asteroids.

If the fleeing spacecraft of the six-claw civilization had mastered the technology of the Levi's ring, they would not have been wiped out halfway because they could not obtain supplies.

After all, in interstellar space, the core component of stardust is hydrogen helium. In addition, asteroids contain water ice, which can also be used to extract hydrogen.

The Levi's ring can carry out multiple controllable nuclear fusion, which can squeeze a hydrogen element to the extreme.

Now the earth headquarters has begun to eliminate nuclear fission reactors, and is preparing to fully update them into Levi's annular nuclear fusion reactors.

The Levi's ring has another advantage, that is, it can be miniaturized. At present, the smallest Levi's ring prototype is only about 372 tons.

This weight is miniaturized for Homo sapiens' spacecraft.

After all, the nuclear explosion furnace technology, equipment and auxiliary buildings add up to hundreds of thousands of tons at every turn, and there is no way to stuff it into a spaceship.

This is also the reason why the space business department directly adopted the nuclear explosion propulsion scheme, and did not use the ground furnace nuclear fusion.

Levi's ring-ton equipment can be compressed to hundreds of tons, which is not too heavy for medium and large spacecraft.

That's why Carl engineers dared to use the Levi's ring as the power of the spacecraft.

Of course, since outer space is different from the earth, Carl's team will definitely need to adjust the Levi's ring and redesign and adjust the engine.

At present, Carl's team is the one with the fastest research progress among the various contract engine teams, and has even produced a prototype.

This prototype is a bit heavy, six Levi's rings, plus the helical magnetic field device, the total weight reached 3521 tons, this weight can only be installed on large spacecraft.

After more than half an hour of final inspection, the prototype is finally ready for testing.

Soon Engineer Karl took Mikoyan and others to the control room of the test platform.
