Chapter 1010 Ignition Device
"Speak quickly!"
Old Chen glanced at Su Mo speechlessly, looking very helpless.
This kid is good at everything, just...
Alas, it's hard to describe it!
"Ahem—"
Yang Xing took a step forward, with a little restrained face, "First of the Year, Mr. Chen, today's experiment was quite successful. Due to the device, we can only simulate the explosion of a hydrogen bomb about one ten thousandth of the inside of the sun for the time being. Even so, the energy generated is extremely terrifying."
"According to the energy output device, the energy converted today can be supplied to the imperial capital for about three months."
"What?!"
When the head of state and Mr. Chen heard this result, they were deeply shocked.
They all know that the ultimate energy experimental project of artificial sun will benefit the entire human race once it succeeds, but they are still scared by such a terrifying conversion rate.
Just one experiment, can the converted energy be supplied to the imperial capital for three months?
Oh my God!
This... is so scary!
The head of state took a deep breath and asked, "How long is the cycle of the artificial solar device operating once?"
“Eight hours.”
Su Mo's eyes flashed and he explained: "The current technology is still unstable. After several more energy conversions, the experimental cycle will gradually be shortened. In three days, I am sure to make the operation cycle reach within eight hours."
“Eight…eight hours?”
The head of state was shocked, and he knew very well what this meant.
The operation cycle only takes eight hours, which means that three energy conversions can be carried out in a day.
In disguise, it means that the energy converted from the artificial sun can be used for nine months after it lasts for one day.
Thinking of this, his breath became heavier.
"hiss--"
Old Chen, who was standing beside him, took a breath of air. He quickly stabilized his mind and asked, "How much is the cost of that energy conversion?"
“It’s not an energy conversion.”
Su Mo shook his head slightly and corrected: "It's heavy nuclear fission, that is, nuclear fusion."
Boss Chen waved his hand, "This doesn't matter, you kid quickly answer my question."
Su Mo shrugged, "If it were the past, it would be quite expensive to perform nuclear fusion because the loss of the ignition device is very large. For about every ten ignitions, the ignition device must be replaced."
"However, the ignition device is now made of flint gold, with very high durability. You don't have to worry about loss for at least five years. You can undergo heavy nuclear fission day and night."
"If you count this way, the cost of that experiment was very low, very low."
The head of state quickly said, "Tell me more specifically."
A hint of pride flashed across Su Mo's face and said in a deep voice: "A variety of speed reducers, as well as hydrogen elements, and if the loss of parts is included, if it is converted into Xia coins, the cost of a comprehensive fission is about one million."
One million seems to be a lot, but compared with the massive amount of energy converted, there is nothing comparable to the ones that are completely transformed.
Hearing this, the head of state and Mr. Chen looked at each other silently, and a storm arose in their hearts.
One million summer coins can be exchanged for three months of energy supply to the imperial capital?
This is simply a huge profit!
However, the two of them were not ordinary people at all, and they quickly grasped the key point in Su Mo's words.
The head of state frowned, with a little concern in his tone, "Su Mo, according to what you said, even if the ignition device can last for five years, what about five years in?"
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
"I haven't thought of a solution yet."
Su Mo didn't hide it and showed up directly, "The flint gold mine cave over the Hull Mountains is still being mined. Yesterday I contacted Li Zhenghai, director of the Geology Bureau."
"After the latest detection, the reserves of the Flint Gold Cave are still quite rich. Conservatively estimated that the reserves of the Flint Gold in the mine should be more than 30 tons. The current ignition device consumes nearly four tons of Flint Gold, which means that the remaining Flint Gold can almost build seven sets of ignition devices."
"Seven sets of ignition devices plus the set used now, two artificial sun devices can be used uncontrollably for twenty years. Twenty years should be enough for our country to find new solutions."
Speaking of this, Su Mo looked at Yang Xing and slowly spoke: "Senior Yang, you have worked hard for today's experiment, so go back and rest first."
Yang Xing was naturally not a dull person. Seeing Su Mo say this, he knew what he was going to talk about next and he was not qualified to listen to it.
He nodded, saluted respectfully to the head of state, Mr. Chen, and turned around and left the experimental site.
After Yang Xing left, Su Mo brought the head of state and the old man Chen to the platform and said generously: "Two big guys, you guys sit down."
The two of them said nothing, sat down silently, waiting for Su Mo to say what he said next.
Su Mo pondered and slowly spoke: "First of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Chen; I'm going to tell you, I don't plan to let the two artificial sun devices provide energy for our country now."
"Um?"
The head of state was stunned for a moment, and then realized something, "Do you want to have the sun-making device all serve the large energy cover designed for you?"
"Resolution."
Su Mo nodded and explained in a deep voice: "I know you will definitely have a lot of doubts, but I will answer them one by one."
"I believe that the Head of State and Mr. Chen don't know much about the large energy shield. The protection range of the large energy shield is the entire Xia Kingdom, and the scope is too wide. Because of this, the energy required is even more astronomical."
"So, I'm going to build a hundred large energy reserve stations, and two artificial solar devices will continue to convert the energy of the combined nuclear fusion day and night to serve as the energy reserves for the large energy cover."
"Once the situation I was worried about happened, the large energy cover could be opened instantly, so there is no need to worry about the energy problem at all."
After saying that, Su Mo looked at the two of them and waited for their opinions.
After all, this is just his suggestion, and it is up to the head of state to decide what to do.
Hearing Su Mo's plan, the head of state frowned slightly, "Is this a waste? Together with the cooperation of us to conquer the ultimate energy, we do not intend to benefit our people at all?"
Mr. Chen nodded slightly. He also disagreed with the proposal. However, due to Su Mo's face, he did not choose to refuse directly. Instead, he suggested tentatively: "Otherwise, we can let the two artificial sun devices divide the labor, one can provide energy reserves for the large energy cover, and the other will be converted into energy for the people to use."
"Don't veto the second elders."
Su Mo was not surprised at all about the reactions of the two. He slowly stretched out three fingers, "If the things I was worried about did not happen within three years, then the energy generated by the two artificial solar devices and the energy reserved in a hundred large-scale energy reserve stations can be used."
Speaking of this, his face became very serious, "But once something I worry about happens, there will be too much energy required at that time, so the boy suggests that it is safer to follow my plan."
His attitude was not tough, but it contained a hint of indespite.
