I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

The "they" mentioned by Hisashi Tsushima are obviously the IAEA organizers who made huge profits from the cleanup operation.

Although it is claimed that the IAEA is a purely loss-making operation, the authorities of the island country nearby see it clearly.

First of all, the more than 2 billion U.S. dollars raised through fundraising could not be used up to distribute to the victims. The money was basically unable to cover all expenses until the emergency support and rescue teams were withdrawn from the controlled area.

Then they use the nuclear explosion as a gimmick to use the privileges of the observation area to attract tourists to buy package tickets. The charm of the nuclear bomb is enough to attract a large number of people willing to spend huge sums of money for it.

It is not possible for ordinary people to sail in by themselves. The best areas in the outer sea are controlled by the IAEA. Without their permission, it is impossible for a ship to sneak in. Those are the three most powerful fleets of Blue Star that are blocking it. No one is not eagle-eyed. Dare to break through.

After initial refusals, protests, and struggles to no avail, the island country's authorities began to think about how they could benefit from it, and they just took the access permit for some areas off Fukushima in the name of Jianghu Electric Power Company.

Then they started selling tickets frantically, as there were so many ships on the sea that could fit in them.

At this time, they had local advantages compared to the IAEA and were able to mobilize more ships. Hisashi Tsushima could tell how big the benefits would be with just a little calculation.

This is only counting tourists. In fact, domestic potential consumption power is even greater.

Except for a very small number of people who have witnessed it, our citizens have never seen a real nuclear explosion, or even a ballistic missile attack, because it is naturally easier to observe from a closer distance, but it is not as loudly publicized as when foreign tourists come.

So this is the reason why Nakayama Koji publicly endorsed the IAEA cleanup action without any hindrance. Members of Congress are busy jumping into this new business opportunity. As for the image problem? Then we can only ask the relevant person in charge to bow and apologize afterwards.

Zhongshan Jiuer silently looked at the shameless insect in front of him, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted:

"Tsushima-kun, you should be ashamed of the people!"

"But you just got the shipping company you formed yesterday a passage permit."

Tsushima Juichi's answer was almost seamless, and the rest of Nakayama Kotoji's words were immediately stuck in his mouth.

There was only sincere eyes between the two of them, and Nakayama Jiuji finally couldn't pretend anymore.

"I have shouldered the most responsibility and must be duly compensated!"

"I understand...and this will also benefit your aerospace technology cooperation plan. When our astronauts enter space on Tanegashima, the people will definitely understand your difficulties!"

This sentence was very useful to Nakayama Jiuji. He touched his chest and sighed:

"It's all for the sake of all the people. It's right to bear some infamy!"

…

Hefei.

"You are here to replace the ignition mechanism of the hydrogen bomb with a laser?"

As the general person in charge of the EAST project, Fu Mingdong was very surprised by these visitors today.

As a fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device as famous as ITER, EAST can be said to be in a leading position in the world, and most of the EAST team is young.

Today's visitors are much older on average, and among them are a heavyweight and Yu Min. The latter came in a wheelchair - it's not because of his legs or feet, it's just to save some energy.

Others are also from the Academy of Nuclear Science, and their business scope is obviously not very related to EAST.

EAST is to lead the energy revolution and bring mankind into a new era. The mission of the Academy of Nuclear Science is to find ways to bring the world back to the Stone Age.

Following Yu Min was a middle-aged man who was less than fifty years old and introduced himself as Ai Quan.

Yu Min: "You are pursuing the power of the sun, and so are we, so we will have many common topics."

Ai Quan explained immediately:

"We are designing new nuclear bombs with a yield of 100 million tons, but the traditional method is nothing more than stacking raw materials. We hope to find a more efficient and cleaner way."

In the previous joint mining bidding project, the five parties reached an agreement to trial research on a 200-million-ton-equivalent super hydrogen bomb, and then all parties immediately launched relevant plans.

It is not difficult to simply increase the yield. Similar configurations of three-phase bombs can be superimposed almost infinitely.

The original hydrogen bomb placed a layer of fusion reactants outside the atomic bomb, and the three-phase bomb added a layer of uranium 235 on top of this. The explosion went through three processes of fission-fusion-fission, so it was named the three-phase bomb.

This stacking method can make the hydrogen bomb yield very large. A yield of 200 million tons is nothing more than a pile of raw materials.

However, the Academy of Nuclear Science temporarily postponed this plan after considering it, because this giant three-phase bomb has lost its practical significance with a mass of even more than 50 tons, and the fusion power only accounts for half, and the other half comes from fission, which gives people a sense of dissatisfaction. Great.

Producing such a super three-phase bomb requires a lot of raw materials and the cost is extremely huge. Although there is a chance of passing it, controlling the budget is an instinctive behavior of domestic scientific research.

Under this situation, Yu Min proposed to design a brand new explosion configuration, using only fusion as much as possible to enhance the power. It is best to achieve a chain reaction, so that the fusion power of the new configuration may account for more than 99%. , and the equivalent can easily reach billions of tons or even tens of billions of tons, and the weight and price are much cheaper than three-phase bombs.

The best imitation object for designing nuclear fusion configurations is obviously the sun. The most in-depth research on the sun in China is probably only the scientific research base in Hefei.

Fu Mingdong licked his lips after listening to Ai Quan's words, and then shook his head vigorously:

"A chain reaction of this order of magnitude... I can't think of it. If we can achieve this step, I'm afraid we can all take a big step forward in controllable nuclear fusion. We really need a completely new configuration.

And I'm afraid it's not enough for us to just get together and think about it. We also need to conduct thermonuclear experiments, which are to explode hydrogen bombs many times. This is almost impossible. "

"No, we have time."

Ai Quan: "I can tell you... there will be many, many hydrogen bombs exploding on the moon. We have ample observation opportunities to collect data at close range and without restriction, so we have the confidence to propose new configurations. "

"You actually really..."

Fu Mingdong finally confirmed the crazy hydrogen bomb mining operation of United Mining, which surprised him for a while before he came back to his senses.

"Well, if that's the case, there is indeed hope, but let me think about it... In the future, warheads of a few tons may have an equivalent of hundreds of millions of tons, or even billions of tons. The third world war may really blow up mankind. Back to the Stone Age.”

"Don't worry, we have considered these issues more carefully, otherwise we would not only maintain such a small nuclear arsenal."

Ai Quan smiled and felt that Fu Mingdong was a little too worried:

"Maybe in the future it will be these super bombs that save mankind. Think about the asteroids that may attack the earth. Small things with millions of tons or tens of millions of tons are just scratching their itch for them, even resource development.

In space, the strongest power of human beings is actually just like that. "
