The extraction of several pipes of hundreds of meters in thickness is really a drop in the bucket compared to large gaseous planets with a diameter of more than tens of thousands of kilometers. But this time it is an experiment, so there is no need to worry. When the experiment is confirmed to be feasible, it is time for these large gaseous planets to be unlucky! In fact, by now, Zhang Jingyuan believes that the experiment has basically been successful; what is tested next is more about the spacecraft's own energy acquisition methods, reliability, etc.

At this moment, Boss Zhang and various scientists are in a large virtual laboratory of 1:100; this is also a product of high-tech, which reduces the running system at a ratio of 1:100 and shows it with virtual physical technology. This is not only safe (and some scientists are also weak), but most importantly, it is clear at a glance and can directly observe the various locations of the entire system. Once there is a problem, it can be discovered and corrected as soon as possible.

There is a virtual screen next to it, showing some specific data, and there are also digital displays in some key pipeline locations.

Without the guidance of scientists, Zhang Jingyuan could see clearly that the "liquid" here is light blue overall, but it can also be seen that there are many impurities inside, which require screening and filtering. The temperature of the liquid is not as cold as imagined, but reaches more than 500 degrees. No wonder there is so much lightning on the surface of gaseous planets. High temperature is the embodiment of energy concentration, just like Venus in history. Although it is a gas dominated by carbon dioxide, because the temperature is as high as more than 400 degrees, or even close to 500 degrees, it is also lightning and thunder.

The pressure on the pipeline shows that the pressure here is more than 5,000 times the standard atmospheric pressure. It is such a huge pressure that compresses these unruly hydrogen, helium, etc. into liquids.

During the rapid extraction of "water pipes" with a diameter of hundreds of meters, their flow rate is no less than that of the Yangtze River; countless liquids rumble into huge centrifuges; centrifuges are the simplest, most reliable and least expensive equipment. In the initial selection of nuclear raw materials for humans, they are purified by centrifuges.

The centrifuge here is divided into three parts. The first part separates the liquid hydrogen - this process, reduces the volume of the liquid by about 60%; the second part separates the liquid helium - after this process, the volume of the liquid is less than 5% remaining; the third part is to separate ammonia! Don’t underestimate ammonia, this is an important raw material in the space age, such as artificial proteins, plant catalysis, various chemical raw materials, etc., all of which require ammonia.

Usually, it is not that no one wants to separate ammonia from gas planets, but the cost is relatively high, so it is better to use factories to synthesize them honestly; now it is a good idea to fight grass and get rabbits!

As for the remaining small amounts of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulfide, etc., they are directly discharged into the atmosphere above. These things are useful, but human resources are already oversupplied; as long as there are life activities on the spacecraft, there is no shortage of these things above.

Seeing the three different liquids being sorted into huge piggy banks and then sent to the small world to store, Zhang Jingyuan also felt a sense of accomplishment. The power of technology is already so powerful. Humans can already exploit all planetary resources unscrupulously! Yes, all planetary resources! As of now, whether it is gaseous planets, rocky planets, frozen planets, etc., as long as humans think it is valuable, they can directly open their greedy big mouths and eat them!

Suddenly, Zhang Jingyuan thought of a question and turned to look at Li Yuzhang next to him, "By the way, senior brother, why not build the nuclear reactor in a small space? Isn't this more space-saving?"

Li Yuzhang shook his head. "It's not that we don't want it, but that the small space is unstable! The small space itself is captured into temporary spaces one by one; there is no problem with this space being used as a warehouse. But if there is violent energy activity inside, the space will be torn apart. We have repeatedly verified this point, and even conducted several experiments, almost causing disaster.

At present, small space can only be regarded as storage space. However, it is enough. There are 5 small spaces on this spacecraft to store hydrogen and helium. Under saturation, it can store more than 100 cubic kilometers.

For safety and stability, and to consider the impact of outer space, the small space on the spacecraft uses 30 kilometers, while the largest small space with a maximum of more than 100 kilometers is not used. Although 30 kilometers are smaller, the safety and stability are the highest at present. However, even such a small space can only be simply transformed into a living space; but considering safety and escape in danger, it can only be used as storage space for the time being."

Zhang Jingyuan nodded; now technology is developing too fast, even Zhang Jingyuan cannot understand everything, and can only roughly know how far a certain technology has reached, but there is nothing to do with specific details.

But Li Yuzhang's explanation is not over. "According to our calculations, 60 cubic kilometers of hydrogen and helium reserves are enough to allow the current spacecraft to complete the interstellar migration. If population reproduction, expansion, material consumption, emergency situations, etc., 100 cubic kilometers are completely pressure-free! In theory, such a spacecraft can be filled with hydrogen and helium at one time, and does not require additional energy replenishment, and can fly directly to the Andromeda galaxy; even including the necessary combat energy.

In this way, useful energy blocks can be applied to military and other aspects as much as possible.

And we have a plan, that is, to bring China back to the nuclear energy era within the next ten years. There are two benefits:

First, promote the development of relevant nuclear technologies; second, save a large amount of energy blocks! According to the current data, in 500 years, the country's energy block reserves will increase by at least 50%! The consumption of building a large number of nuclear reactors has been calculated here."

"Return to the nuclear energy era?" Zhang Jingyuan repeatedly chewed these words, and felt speechless for a moment. Is this a regression of the times? When Chinese civilization already had the potential to impact the sixth level civilization, he suddenly ordered the whole country to retreat to the nuclear energy era...

This is really weird! But I have to say, this is a good suggestion.

Moreover, the current nuclear energy is not the nuclear energy from thousands of years ago - using electricity, but producing energy blocks and then starting to be used; that is, even if it really returns to the nuclear energy era, it is just the same way of producing energy; and the way of using energy is still the technology of the energy block era - in other words, this is the strategy of the country and has no impact on citizens; perhaps because of the re-popularization of nuclear energy, China has entered a new era of "non-energy saving".

There is nothing missing in space, hydrogen and helium!

It didn't take long to go, a good cycle formed in the test spacecraft. The extraction of hydrogen and helium began to replace the original hydrogen and helium, and successfully entered the nuclear reactor and started working. With sufficient fresh blood injected, the speed of the nuclear reactor doubled again! With today's technology, the energy usage of nuclear reactors can be as high as 95%, and the rest is mainly emitted in the form of heat, which is just used to heat the spacecraft - flying in space, maintaining temperature is a very important thing.

The entire experiment lasted for one month. The spacecraft also took off and landed repeatedly during this process, entering the "ocean" of large gaseous planets ten times before and after to draw energy, and verify the design, collect data, etc. through repeated experiments.

"The whole plan is perfect!" Until this moment, Li Yuzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty. We can build such a spacecraft from now on. Such a spacecraft is mainly used to collect hydrogen and helium in the universe and provide the country with alternative energy reserves; we also need to establish a large number of nuclear energy devices among the people to produce and store energy blocks.

The faster the better, we are racing against time at this moment!”

Nodded, Zhang Jingyuan didn't say anything, but in fact Zhang Jingyuan himself was already moved! As long as the last few data still needs to be reviewed by the relevant departments of the empire, Zhang Jingyuan was just a behind-the-scenes figure after all, and the development of technology is also a rigorous matter, especially when implementing a certain technology. This is really not something that can be fooled.

In the madness, the Empire spent its 2900th birthday (the Empire calendar), and at the end of this year, the Empire made a crazy decision: return to the nuclear energy era!

Well, this is the understanding of ordinary citizens. In fact, the public documents of the Empire say: the lack of energy is used to supplement energy. Then of course there are various introductions about nuclear energy, why nuclear energy is used, how to use it, etc.

Mining gaseous planets, collecting hydrogen and helium, and developing new nuclear energy became the slogan of the people for a time. People were also crazy!

Because in order to develop nuclear energy and alleviate energy pressure, the country has finally opened the energy that has been strictly controlled by the people. In fact, it is not possible to open it up.

In the past, the main source of energy blocks was the stellar collar technology. Building stellar collars was obviously not something that ordinary people and enterprises could bear; so the empire was indirectly controlling energy in the hands of the country, which was also a means of restraint. However, nuclear energy was different. With the current technical level of China, middle school students could design a nuclear reactor, and it was guaranteed to have their own characteristics. As for energy blocks, the new energy block model is now used - a technology that uses electromagnetic field energy as a "seal", which is also open to the public.

In the space age, energy = currency! Even if the energy depreciates, you are not afraid. There is endless energy in space!

The capital of the people is crazy! Even the empire did not expect this kind of madness!

The second year of the release of the statement, that is, after a year's brewing period, 20% of the large gaseous planets in the empire's territory were already in mining, and almost all the rest were booked; even the auction of mining rights for gaseous planets in the empire increased considerable income for the country. And more people directly formed a runway to mine outside the empire's territory. Although the distance was long, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of private entrepreneurs could build their own subspace gates!

By the 2910th year of the empire, ten years after the policy was made public, the entire Chinese Empire had completely changed. The people used their wisdom to bring new vitality to this empire!

Various spacecraft shuttles are shuttled through space, some are traditionally shaped, some are like peanuts, some are like gourds, some are slender, some are flat, some are like pearl plates - one protruding on it, some are like snowflakes, and some are directly a huge hollow ring...

But all of these new spacecraft are spacecraft equipped with nuclear reactors. Some of them are mineral ships, some transport ships, and some are space energy factories - such as pearl disks and snowflakes, which are directly a collection of tens of thousands of nuclear reactors, and they output countless energy blocks every day!

And because of the large amount of nuclear energy utilization, gaseous planets have encountered unprecedented blows. Once upon a time, humans directly let go of gaseous planets and only mine solid planets. As a result, gaseous planets have now become popular pearls (gaeous planets with rich surfaces are really like pearls). There are often companies who compete for the ownership of gaseous planets! Of course, there are many gaseous planets, but there are more people!

Among the people, after implementing the energy conservation plan for more than two hundred years, the empire finally lifted the ban again, and the planets have once again returned to their bright and beautiful colors.
Chapter completed!
