Chapter 512 Miniaturization of helium 3 and controllable nuclear fusion
What Cheng Hao said is actually very simple and down-to-earth.
As a scientist, these words are undoubtedly very correct and reasonable.
At this time, in the laboratory.
"The lunar soil actually contains so much water??"
Cheng Hao looked at the test data in front of him in surprise.
A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
Several scientists next to them had excited expressions on their faces. They looked at Cheng Hao in front of them and said, "Yes! Professor Cheng, this is very good news for us. With such abundant water resources, it will be great for us to establish
For a lunar base, this is a great thing!"
"kindness!"
Cheng Hao nodded.
"Take out half of the lunar soil, simulate the lunar environment, and then try to plant it!"
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Hao suddenly spoke to the scientists on the side.
Hearing Cheng Hao's words, several scientists around him were stunned for a moment, with traces of hesitation in their eyes.
"Professor Cheng... half of the lunar soil?? But our test is not over yet..."
"None of this matters."
Cheng Hao said to the scientists in front of him.
"We want lunar soil that can be obtained at any time. The most important thing at the moment is that we need to study the impact of original lunar soil on food cultivation under the lunar environment and some human interference.
, more important.”
After hearing Cheng Hao's words, several scientists around him nodded thoughtfully.
Soon, several scientists quickly began to design experiments.
The idea of planting lunar soil has actually always been there. After all, this matter is related to the future development of the moon.
This thing is extremely important, so the instruments and equipment, including experimental procedures, have always existed.
"Professor Cheng! Professor Cheng!"
Just after Cheng Hao finished talking to the people next to him, several researchers on the other side who were studying Yueyan walked towards Cheng Hao with excited looks in their eyes.
"What's wrong??"
Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, looking at the several research institutes in front of him with curiosity in his eyes.
"Look at this!"
Cheng Hao looked at the data handed over by several researchers next to him.
"(ca8y)Fe2(po4)7, the crystal structure belongs to the trigonal crystal system, space group r3c. The particles are about 2 to 30 microns in the shape of tiny columns... a new mineral??"
Cheng Hao's eyes lit up, he looked at the researchers in front of him and said.
"Yes! Professor Cheng!"
A researcher looked at Cheng Hao with a smile in his eyes and said: "When we got the moon rock, we discovered this crystal as soon as possible. At that time, we guessed that this might be a brand new ore.
We took it for testing, and it turned out to be a mineral that does not exist on earth, a brand new lunar ore!"
“Not bad, not bad!”
Cheng Hao had a smile on his face.
"Continue to study moon rocks and see if there are any other discoveries!"
Many of the lunar rocks brought back by astronauts from the moon this time are deep lunar rocks excavated from the ground using instruments. They are of great help to the study of the moon and help humans understand the moon.
Many moon rocks have extremely high research value.
There are dozens of tons in total, all transported back through instruments.
This is also the largest mining of the moon by mankind!
It is not difficult to understand that new lunar minerals can be discovered. Cheng Hao is looking forward to discovering more minerals.
But there was one thing. Soon, the researcher responsible for studying the lunar soil came over.
"Professor Cheng."
The researcher looked at Cheng Hao in front of him with a wry smile in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, looking at the researcher in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"We have just conducted a rough test and found that the helium 3 content in the lunar soil is extremely high... Do we want to grow vegetables directly in this soil? Or should we first extract the helium 3 in it?"
The researcher studying the lunar soil looked at Cheng Hao in front of him with hesitation in his eyes.
Cheng Hao was also stunned.
Of course he knows that helium 3 is a clean, safe and efficient fuel for nuclear fusion power generation.
It can be said that because helium 3 can be directly used as a raw material for controllable nuclear fusion, and the fusion reaction rate is very high, and the reaction neutron irradiation is very low, it is the best raw material for nuclear fusion.
But this kind of energy was too little on the earth, and at that time, the distance between the earth and the moon was too far.
Cheng Hao also did not invent a spaceship. It is extremely difficult to obtain helium 3 on the moon.
Therefore, we can only bypass helium 3 and technically solve the reaction problem!
Therefore, the current technical route is unlikely to be able to use helium 3.
But this does not mean that helium 3 is meaningless to China and Cheng Hao!
On the contrary, the significance of this energy is still very important!
Because it reacts quickly and has low neutron radiation!
So is it feasible to use this as a raw material for miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion???
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao's mind turned rapidly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Extract all the helium 3 first! But keep 10% of the original lunar soil."
Without any hesitation, Cheng Hao said directly to the researcher in front of him.
"Yes! Professor Cheng!"
The main methods for separation of isotope gases such as helium-3 include gas diffusion method, ion exchange method, gas centrifugation method, distillation method, electrolysis method, electromagnetic method, current method, etc. Among them, gas diffusion method is the most mature.
Therefore, the institute uses this method to extract helium 3 from the lunar soil.
From the more than 30 tons of lunar soil mined from the moon this time, a total of three kilograms of helium 3 was extracted, and more than half of the helium 3 mainly came from the bottom of a certain crater.
This should be a rich area of helium 3!
Cheng Hao marked this place. When the time comes, this may be used as the main mining area for helium 3!
Then, Cheng Hao looked at Helium 3 on the side. He looked curiously at the Helium 3 in the test tube in front of him.
Flowing helium 3 is a colorless and odorless transparent liquid.
With this, the steps of nuclear fusion may actually be simplified.
After simplifying the steps, the size of the originally huge controllable nuclear fusion can be reduced.
Cheng Hao's mind was running rapidly, and he began to calculate quickly on the paper in front of him.
It has been simplified for a long time.
Cheng Hao glanced at the engineering drawings in front of him, and a wry smile flashed in his eyes.
I don’t know if this simplified reactor can perform fusion reactions!
