Homo sapiens

Chapter 631 Levi’s Ring

The dense spots of light emitted by the six-clawed giant star lasted for more than three months.

Until the beginning of Galaxy 8, various cosmic monitoring stations did not detect dense light spots, but there were still one or two light spots that occasionally appeared.

This is obviously the result of the civil war in the Six Claw Civilization.

However, the Space Reconnaissance Department has not analyzed which side won.

However, during the three months of fierce fighting, the Space Reconnaissance Department detected at least 286,000 flashes of light, which meant that at least 286,000 nuclear bombs were detonated during the fierce fighting of the Six-Claw Civilization.

It was simply terrifying.

You know, this is not the miniature hydrogen bomb used by the Homo sapiens company to propel the spacecraft, but a nuclear bomb that often starts with an yield of tens of thousands of tons and is generally in the range of one million tons.

This shows how cruel the civil war in the Six Claw Civilization was.

As for the civil war within the Six-Claw Civilization, Homo Sapiens Company has also released a lot of relevant information within the company, allowing all employees to feel a little "Six-Claw Shock".

Moon.

In the Mendeleev crater on the back.

There is a large base here called Mendeleev Base City.

This base city is mainly engaged in scientific research on spacecrafts and is affiliated with the Space Division. At this time, a brand new engine is being tested inside the base.

Even Mikoyan came here in person, and the person responsible for researching this new engine was Karl.

Engineer Carl was previously engaged in the research and development of aero-engines. Later, with the in-depth research and development of aero-engines by the major aviation groups of Homo sapiens, and the explosion of various talents, Carl felt that he should start a new career.

As for the Space Division's exploration of outer space, and the invitation from old friends, Engineer Carl chose to transfer to the Space Division.

This lasted more than four years.

Today we finally have to accept the results.

"Karl, are you sure?" Mikoyan's synchronized robot had a trace of worry on its face.

Because the previous spacecraft engine research work at the Mendeleev Base was not going very smoothly. This was not because there was a problem with the scientific research level of Karl and others, but because the direction of their research was very difficult.

The aerospace engine research direction of Mendeleev Base City is nuclear fusion engines, and it is not a nuclear explosion propulsion engine.

They had studied on the earth for two years before. As the development progress of the moon improved, the Space Division moved the research institute to the back of the moon. Carl's team studied on the back of the moon for more than two years.

During this period, their research was in a difficult stage.

Today's test made Mikoyan have to worry.

"Don't worry! I'm confident this time." Carl's synchronized robot's face was full of confidence.

Through the observation window, the two of them could see a large engine with a nozzle diameter of about 5 meters being installed on a huge aerospace engine test platform.

A large number of synchronous robots are busy doing inspection work in preparation for the next actual test.

The fusion engine designed by Carr's team uses a variant of the tokamak device.

Specifically, it transforms the closed ring magnetic field of the tokamak device into a closed ring magnetic field combined with an open spiral magnetic field.

There are six tokamak rings in total, but only one spiral magnetic field. Channels can be opened or closed between the six tokamak rings and the spiral magnetic field.

Among them, the tokamak ring technology has been difficult to produce before. It is not that it cannot generate electricity, but that the Q value (production ratio) is too low. Even if the Homo sapiens company has strong technology, it has never been able to refresh the Q value to 3.

In addition, it is also very difficult to miniaturize the tokamak device.

Until Dr. Levis improved the tokamak device, using wake field acceleration and magnetic field confinement, plus gamma ray plasma heating technology, to reassemble the later variant tokamak ring.

The modified tokamak ring not only easily heats the atomic temperature to 1.27 billion degrees Celsius, but also increases the atomic acceleration by an order of magnitude, and the control accuracy is also further improved.

The improved version of the tokamak ring, also known as the "Levis ring", has a very fast nuclear fusion reaction, and the raw materials can be ordinary hydrogen atoms, without the need to refine heavy water and other radioactive elements.

Of course, the Levi's ring can also perform other nuclear fusion reactions, such as helium nuclear fusion, lithium nuclear fusion, beryllium nuclear fusion, and boron nuclear fusion.

That is to say, in the Levis ring, after hydrogen is put into the ring, hydrogen nuclear fusion will first occur. After the hydrogen is converted into helium, helium nuclear fusion will occur again, and so on.

This advantage is really great.

Not only does it increase the Q value of nuclear fusion to 76.2, it also makes nuclear fusion fuel no longer limited to radioactive isotopes such as heavy hydrogen and helium 3.

This advantage allows the spacecraft to easily obtain nuclear fuel replenishment during its navigation in interstellar space.

Although interstellar space appears empty, it is actually densely populated with large amounts of interstellar dust and asteroids.

If the six-clawed civilization's escape spacecraft had mastered the Levi's ring technology, they would not have been wiped out midway because they were unable to obtain supplies.

After all, in interstellar space, the core component of stardust is hydrogen and helium. In addition, asteroids contain water ice, which can also be used to refine hydrogen.

The Levi's ring can perform multiple controllable nuclear fusions and can squeeze a hydrogen element to the extreme.

Now Earth Headquarters has begun to phase out nuclear fission reactors and is preparing to fully upgrade them to Levi's ring fusion reactors.

Another advantage of the Levi's ring is that it can be miniaturized. The current smallest Levi's ring prototype is only about 372 tons.

This weight is considered miniaturization for the spacecraft of Homo sapiens.

After all, the nuclear explosion furnace technology, equipment and auxiliary buildings combined can easily start at hundreds of thousands of tons, and there is no way to stuff it into a spacecraft.

This is also the reason why the Space Division directly adopted the nuclear explosion propulsion scheme and did not use the ground furnace nuclear fusion.

Levi's ring-ton equipment can be compressed to several hundred tons, which is no longer heavy for medium and large spacecrafts.

That's why Carl engineers dared to use the Levi's ring as the power source of the spacecraft.

Of course, since outer space is different from the earth, Carl's team will definitely need to adjust the Levi's ring and redesign the engine adjustment scheme.

Currently, Carl's team is the one with the fastest research progress among all contract engine teams, and has even built a prototype.

It's just that this prototype is a bit heavy. With six Levi's rings and the spiral magnetic field device, the total weight reaches 3521 tons. This weight can only be installed on large spacecrafts.

After more than half an hour of final inspection, the prototype was finally ready for testing.

Soon Engineer Karl took Mikoyan and others to the control room of the test platform.
