Go to the Moon to Mine
“Mr. Su.”
Liu Jia reported with a gloomy face: “Except for the headquarters, all our factories are unable to produce due to power outages.” ”
What should we do?”
“Because of the energy shortage, the country has implemented power rationing measures.”
Su Chen He listened quietly and did not speak immediately.
He knew what was going on.
Factory shutdowns are now happening in many companies.
Currently, most of Blue Star’s power plants still rely on coal.
Wind power, water conservancy, solar power and other methods are affected by the environment, so the power supply is neither stable nor sufficient.
Several nuclear power plants have been built, but after three major leaks occurred.
Countries in Blue Star began to shut down or suspend their use, including Dragon Kingdom.
After all, the nuclear radiation produced by such an accident will affect the environment and human body for hundreds of years.
But the Neon Kingdom, which loves to commit suicide, has no other choice due to lack of energy, so it still resorts to desperate measures.
The global shortage of electricity is now the most urgent problem,
more urgent than the demand for oil and gas.
at this time.
Su Chen’s cell phone rang, and it was Minister Yang who opened it.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he said in an anxious tone: “Mr. Su, I know about the power outage in your factory.” “Do
n’t worry, I will send someone to solve it now.”
“No matter who has the power outage, I will absolutely guarantee that all your factories will be open 24 hours a day.” Everything can operate normally.”
Su Chen knew that his superiors valued him.
In this situation of power shortage.
He can definitely enjoy uninterrupted power supply 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
However, this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, but solves the underlying problem.
Moreover, although the factories can operate, what will the people do?
Although a large part of the current problems are fueled by the Pan American Energy Alliance.
But in the final analysis, there is still a problem with Blue Star’s power source.
If things continue to develop like this, maybe it will be 3-5 years later.
From time to time, everyone’s computers and mobile phones run out of power and turn into bricks.
Electric vehicles running on the road will also be parked at any time.
When it gets dark, everyone can only lie in bed and start their nightlife, with no other activities.
And this is not just Dragon Country, other Blue Star countries have introduced power restriction regulations.
This shows that the shortage of electricity has become a global problem!
This is not possible! ! !
Su Chen must find a long-term solution to electricity.
Therefore, he said: “Thank you, Minister, for solving the urgent need.”
“I will also think of other ways. After all, this is not my company’s business.”
“Now Longguo and even the whole world are facing power problems.”
After hanging up the phone.
Su Chen told Liu Jia about the country’s full support for the factory.
Ask her to convey it, and the order cannot be delayed.
And this side.
Su Chen also called out the artificial intelligence Luban: “Please search and analyze the current power problem.” “We
will formulate a final plan and see how to deal with it once and for all.”
“Okay!”
Luban took the order and quickly got to work.
It didn’t take a while to come to a conclusion.
Read the text on the screen.
Su Chen’s eyes showed a rare light.
Can! control! nuclear! Get together! Change!
This is definitely the best solution.
With this, power issues are not a thing at all.
What’s even safer is that Luban proposed two substances that can achieve nuclear fusion.
Instead of traditional nuclear fuel uranium.
To achieve this goal, a major project of landing on the moon is needed.
That’s right!
This is the rich helium 3 in the lunar soil.
It is very safe as a material for thermonuclear reactions.
The product of fusion of helium 3 and deuterium (an isotope of hydrogen) is non-radioactive protons.
It is safe, pollution-free and easy to control nuclear fusion.
Not only can it be used as an energy source for nuclear power plants, but it is also particularly suitable as a source of kinetic energy for aircraft or mechanical bodies.
As a raw material for nuclear fusion power generation, helium 3 can produce 10 times the energy of uranium 235 fission.
However, there are only 1,000 kilograms of such an outstanding element in Blue Star, while the content of helium 3 in the lunar soil is 715,000 tons.
If one ton of helium 3 could be extracted from the lunar soil, 6,300 tons of hydrogen, 70 tons of nitrogen and 1,600 tons of carbon could be obtained.
This is simply killing three birds with one stone, what a bargain!
Su Chen immediately decided in his heart to start the moon base project.
He called Musk and told him his plan.
“Mr. Su!”
Musk opened his eyes wide: “You want to build a lunar base for mining?”
Su Chen hummed lightly: “What? You have other ideas.”
He poked at the central issue like this.
Musk looked shocked, but he quickly regained his composure.
He said truthfully: “I have been more interested in Mars recently.”
“The atmosphere above it is thick enough for air braking, so less rocket fuel is required for landing.” “There is
more ice in the Martian soil, and a 24.5-hour day Matches human beings’ daily routine.”
“Mr. Su, haven’t you ever thought about changing planets to experience and settle down?”
Su Chen raised his eyebrows: “Do you want to immigrate to Mars?”
This guy’s thoughts have indeed not changed, and they are the same as the historical trajectory on earth. .
Musk paused and nodded heavily: “Yes!”
“You see how boring it is to grab resources on Blue Star, why don’t you look to the universe.”
“Mr. Su, let’s stop building a moon base and go straight to the Mars project.”
“As for I have already thought about how to operate it. Let’s fire the catapult first.”
Mentioning this.
Musk’s eyes flashed with enthusiasm and he began to talk endlessly.
But Su Chen looked at it expressionlessly and said nothing.
In some respects, the man does have merit.
For example, a workaholic works tirelessly and is very persistent in pursuing his dreams.
But his vision and abilities were limited, and he could only focus on Mars.
This is because the other eight planets in the solar system do not meet the requirements.
Only Mars can barely be terraformed.
But Su Chen’s sea of stars is broader and more profound.
It doesn’t even have to be in the Milky Way.
“Mr. Su, the mining of helium 3 is very difficult.”
Musk began to lobby again: “First of all, we must build a livable, fully functional, and operational lunar base.” ”
Secondly, we must send people to be on duty for a long time to mine and refine helium. 3.”
“This is very expensive and a waste of time. It’s better to go to Mars.”
…
Su Chen narrowed his eyes.
He is not afraid of his subordinates’ abilities, but he dislikes them having their own ideas.
Obviously Musk is very obsessed with Mars now.
“I have made up my mind.”
Su Chen said calmly: “Just execute it!”
Musk’s originally high mood dropped visibly.
He seemed to be trying to distinguish a few words, but just opened his mouth and closed it again.
Finally, he took a deep breath and said, “I understand.”
Su Chen said no more and said, “Go and make preparations first. The project will be officially launched after the year.”
He also announced this matter on Huazhi’s official website.
[In 2013, Huazhi will launch a lunar base project named “Chang’e”]
