Chapter 340 Atomic Energy and the Magic Moon

Atomic energy technology is one of the key contents in the senior education stage of the virtual world. The planting of mushroom clouds, the establishment of 'non-totem intervention reactors' and 'totem intervention reactors' can all be found in the textbooks.

context, and technical details;

Moreover, because the educational content also includes a ‘virtual experiment’ project, the relevant teachers of the senior grades will take the elves to simulate making nuclear bombs and building energy reactors from scratch;

Therefore, if an elf like Alena, who has just emerged from the virtual world, can have the support of a mature construction team and receive a certain degree of industrial material assistance, she is confident that she can lead the team to plant a mushroom.

And built a basic fission reactor.

Based on the year when the meeting was held in the short film, Alena also guessed the general progress of the research at that time.

At least in the field of heavy nuclear fission, the Republic should have been in a relatively mature stage at that time, not only possessing rich theoretical reserves and experimental experience, but also many corresponding application results.

According to Alina's own knowledge, since the internal structure of the atomic nucleus was observed through the 'Kyoshi Intrusion Experiment', which resulted in a series of new discoveries and new speculations, the Republic was actually in full swing before the 'Near God Mammoth War'

The 'Atomic Energy Research Institute' was established and divided into two laboratories, fusion and fission, with different research directions.

But here, unlike the slow research progress of the fusion laboratory, the fission laboratory has achieved more results in a relatively shorter period of time.

At first, based on the periodic laws of elements, the laboratory speculated on the existence of several heavy nuclear elements and the physical properties they should have.

After that, with the support of "field detection technology", it was successfully located, mined, and after large-scale collection and smelting, the corresponding samples were successively sent to the orbiting experimental spacecraft for targeted research.

After that, high-level spellcasters in orbit discovered several decay reactions that occurred under different mechanisms through long-term observations of the disturbances inside them;

For example, the 'strong nuclear force decay' is generated and controlled by the strong nuclear force field.

This decay will release a new atomic nucleus composed of 2 negative ions and 2 neutrons, and the original nuclear mass number will be reduced by 4 units and the atomic number will be reduced by 2 units;

During the process, the released nuclei carry kinetic energy equivalent to 0.13% of their total energy, and move at a speed of 5% of the speed of light. Their relatively large mass, +2 charge, and slow traveling speed make them

It easily reacts with other atomic nuclei and particles and loses energy. It only takes a few centimeters of air to completely capture and absorb them.

In addition, two other decay modes, negatively charged and uncharged, were discovered, and were named according to the first letters of the discoverers' names.

Immediately, high-level spellcasters deduced control spell runes that could increase or decrease the decay speed based on the disturbances caused by different decay processes, and used them as a starting point to establish a prototype of fission controlled by the runes.

And gradually perfected it into the offensive 'heavy nuclear fission technique'.

This spell is difficult to cast and requires extremely high mental and computing power. Therefore, at the beginning, only wizards of the fifth and higher stages could complete the spell with the assistance of casting materials.

Later, the casters reduced the difficulty of casting this spell through the 'refined super-heavy core' and expanded its application scope to about the fifth level. However, the pre-processing requirements for the casting materials also increased due to this.

become higher.

However, in further research, spellcasters realized that the characteristics of rune spells themselves made them unsuitable for applications in the energy field;

Moreover, the reliance of the attack end on the processing of casting materials makes the 'Heavy Nuclear Fission Technique' lose the convenience that the technique should have, and the consumption of mental power when releasing it also makes its large-scale execution difficult.

In reality, it is impossible to plant all the 'mushrooms' all at once.

Therefore, the laboratory was once again divided into two directions: 'pure physical fission' and 'totem-controlled fission', and conducted weaponization and energy research in related fields respectively.

By the time the meeting in the short film was held, purely physical fission weapons and fission reactors had basically achieved a high degree of controllability and scale after undergoing many tests in more than ten years.

As a culmination of both ‘spells’ and ‘physics’, the Totem Industry side has demonstrated far superior advantages over its two ‘parent bodies’ in many aspects such as accuracy, controllability, and simplicity.

In terms of accuracy, the chain reaction of the 'Inscription Fission Missile' is more efficient, so it is more powerful than the 'Heavy Nuclear Fission Technique' and the 'Physical Fission Nuclear Bomb' at the same mass;

In terms of controllability, the ‘Inscription Fission Furnace’ also demonstrates higher safety and energy efficiency than the ‘physical fission reactor’;

Not to mention the simplicity, after completing the preliminary reserve, launching an attack is just a matter of pressing a button.

But even so, even though its performance in all aspects is excellent, it is still not used as a key project due to the existence of certain constraints;

There are several reasons for this, including the extremely low reserve abundance of the corresponding elements in the home star, the high difficulty and high cost of refining, the difficulty in harmless disposal of waste, the high replaceability of the attack end (Holy Light Explosion, etc.), and the difficulty in dealing with residual pollution.

wait;

Moreover, at a time when the 'totem electric drive' technology was not yet mature, the Republic also lacked the motivation to overcome the above problems for large-scale application.

Therefore, under the common constraints of many aspects such as these, the development prospects of this technology were not optimistic from the beginning, and the purpose of the Republic's research was not to target 'weapons' and 'energy', but only to manufacture

After some of the 'Inscribed Fission Bombs' were used as weapons reserves, the energy was focused more on more basic research on the structure of the atomic nucleus, strong force, weak force, etc., and later opened up a path in the direction of 'individual practice'

new road

What Alena knew at this time was naturally clearer to Nesta back then, because he was always paying attention to the progress in related fields, and would also participate from time to time, providing observations and inspiration.

Relevant laboratories are very helpful;

Therefore, what he is asking about now is not about 'fission', but about the more difficult 'fusion' project.

It is obvious that research in the direction of fusion is far more complicated than fission, and perhaps the most critical point is the lack of ‘observation objects’.

There are heavy nuclear elements in nature that naturally decay. Wizards can use the internal perspective to observe them at the level of disturbance, and complete the construction of a series of rune spell models based on them, and then reversely deduce them from the spells.

Physical mode and totem mode, thereby achieving progress on large-scale applications.

However, the conditions for fusion to occur are extremely harsh. The closest observation source may be the sun, and because of the huge amount of matter contained in the sun, it causes interference that is almost impossible to eliminate from the inner perspective, so there is no way to avoid it.

Methods to replicate the rapid success experience of fission projects.

But even before having an internal perspective, the Republic had once overcome many problems, so the current difficulties were not a reason to retreat. Many spellcasters and scholars inside and outside the laboratory were carrying out their own research in different directions.

effort.

The focus of fusion was initially focused on simulating the sun, with the intention of using gravity to create an ultra-miniature star to realize it. However, the technical requirements required for this idea were too high, and would even be quite high in the future.

It could not be realized for a long time, so this idea was quickly abandoned, and it was believed that it might be simpler and more realistic to directly create an energy-draining network around the sun.

Since then, various efforts have been made inside and outside the laboratory in the direction of 'inertial confinement', 'magnetic confinement', etc., and several small facilities have been built to conduct verification attempts. Although the results have achieved certain results,

It has also come to a standstill due to one problem or another.

Finally, when the time came to the era when the meeting was held, after a long period of research on the results of many attempts, a concept of "magic moon" based on magic, gravity, magnetic field, and superconductivity was proposed.

Afterwards, after a period of feasibility studies and calculations, Nesta finally took the lead in launching a ‘large-scale concentrated study’ that had not been carried out for a long time.

The 'Spell Moon Project' mobilized almost all the spellcasters and scholars in the Republic who were conducting 'secondary research', allowing them to temporarily seal up the tasks at hand, obey the unified dispatch, and enter various research groups to carry out the same plan.

Research work in different branches

[The spaceship deployment has been completed, please follow the terminal instructions to ride]

Zhinao's reminder awakened Alena from the short film, and she curled her lips regretfully like the other elves next to her, and then followed the little guys who gathered in twos and threes and walked in the direction indicated.

passed.

But to be honest, as the largest research project to date, the knowledge related to the magic moon cannot be ignored by the education of the virtual world;

Therefore, regarding technology and many situations at the event level, she has a deeper understanding than the 'video introduction', but after all, it is a narration in books and classrooms for educational purposes, and it is naturally better than the previous form.

It was much more boring, so the 'regret' that arose in Alena's heart at this moment was more due to the fact that the movie-watching experience could not be continued.

But she suppressed it for the time being and did not think about this matter again. Alena planned to see if there were any similar resources after landing on the ground and settling down.

As the team marched, the number of elves stopped increasing after it was expanded to several hundred. I don’t know if it’s because there are only so many in this space station that need to go to the home planet at the moment, or if there are more, but it’s not

You have to take a boat.

But this was not important. Alena's team gradually approached the designated location and saw a shuttle-shaped spaceship about a hundred meters in length outside the brown transparent barrier;

After following the elves through the connecting corridor and entering it, she felt the difference between the inside and the space station.

Although Alena has never been to her home planet, the book says that the gravity sensation in the virtual realm is the same as the home star, and the previous space station is the same as her memory of the virtual realm, so the gravity sensation between the space station and the home star should also be

It’s the same;

But after entering the spacecraft, although she was not completely suspended, she also felt a clear weightlessness, and even her steps became a little light.

[Harmless gravity, if you are not used to it, please conduct individual debugging through your own formation patterns.]

Although such a prompt came from the terminal, Alena, who found it quite interesting, did not activate Ilya to adjust it just for herself. Instead, she kept it like this, randomly picked a seat and sat down.

, and fasten the seat belt and wait for the spacecraft to take off or leave the port?

After a while, it seemed that all the elves had boarded the ship, so the cabin door slowly closed silently, and the light inside also disappeared shortly, leaving only sporadic fluorescent lights flickering in the entire cabin.

.

"Why turn off the lights?"

A passenger who had just sat down next to him said to himself in confusion.

Alena turned her head and glanced at him subconsciously, realizing that he was a strange elf who was assigned to another city, but she answered casually,

"Maybe it's to save energy, or maybe it's so we can see out the window later?"

Pointing at the slowly moving scenery outside the window, Aliena couldn't move her gaze away not long after guessing that she said these words.

Her voice made the elf next to her slightly embarrassed, and she immediately introduced herself politely, and then was also attracted by the picture gradually revealed by the outside world.

The spacecraft slowly left the space station while accelerating very slowly but firmly, and gradually revealed its appearance.

The space station where Alena was born is a purple-gold sphere with a diameter of nearly 500 meters. Its main material is not plants, but seems to be metal. This also means that the 'electric totem drive technology' has been used today after many years.
