I have a little black hole

Chapter 1158: Why Go to the Moon secretly to Mine Helium 3?

In the past two years, Lui Tian Tang Ben has not stopped developing. On the side of the solar system, through constant outings, secret underground bases have been built on planets and satellites that can build bases throughout the solar system, laying a solid foundation for the Solar System Defense Circle program.

And they also have a relatively detailed understanding of the entire solar system, and these data collection processes are not the same as the galaxy on the side of the small black hole that they named "the new home," which is boot tickling detection, but the data on the side of the solar system is a large part collected by Lei Tiantang and Kwak Father in person.

Through detailed data comparisons between the two galaxies, Lei Tiantang and Kwa Fan have a deeper understanding of the formation and development of galaxies, as well as a better understanding of the mysterious universe.

And this understanding has once again increased the speed of some of their related research, breaking through a lot of technical difficulties in the past two years, even the planet-class spacecraft they are planning is already at the end of research and development, which performance is unmatched by the Moon spacecraft that they have set up as a satellite.

The other design and fabrication problems of the ship have been solved, and the last remaining challenge is the power system, the core of which is the real third-generation nuclear fusion reactor, which uses helium 3 as a fuel.

“Boss, I'm bored! What the hell do you think? Your own stockpile of helium-3 seems to add up to over two million tons, right? Your reserves are much smaller than the helium 3 found on the moon.

Is that enough Helium 3 for us to use for at least 10,000 years? You know, even if we were to calculate the energy consumption of the entire planet now, if the energy consumption of the entire planet is provided by helium 3, it would be enough to consume up to 200 tons a year.

Even if we have two helium-3 fusion reactors on board, and we fly at full power in space, we won't be able to use 100 tons a year of flight.

So the question is, are you going to take the opportunity of the company's cruise ship test to steal some helium 3 from the moon? I don't know what kind of attitude you are! "Father praised while working and spitting.

“Cut! What do you know! It's a feeling, you know? Yes, I can't run out of Helium 3 in my own storage, but what is the main purpose of our ship?

It's to carry out a mission in a distant universe, so the question is, if I use the helium 3 I collected from the body of the little black hole to fuel our ship, it will make me feel like I can't afford my home!

If we really use this ship to go to the body of the small black hole in the future, I would definitely prefer to use helium 3 extracted from the moon as a fuel, because this will give my mind a little comfort, and using materials from my hometown will eliminate the worries that I may have, which is why I do this! "

Lui Tiantang's answer made Father Kwak a little confused. He turned a white eye and said: "You can pull the calf hard! You look happier every time you sneak out into the solar system. If you leave the solar system and wave in the universe, you won't be happy there!

Do you think I'd believe that if you told me that under the circumstances? What's happening on the moon now that you don't understand? Every country is there to rob the land. Aren't you afraid of exposing it?

If you really want to use helium 3 in the solar system as fuel for this reason, there's no need to sneak it out of the moon. Our probes detect no less Helium 3 resources on Mercury than on the moon.

Even in terms of Helium-3 content, Mercury's surface soil contains more Helium-3 than the Moon. Isn't it more convenient to mine there and won't be discovered? So tell me what you really think, and sell less! "

This is no bullshit. Helium-3 resources on Earth are still scarce, mainly because of the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field, which prevents helium-3 atoms in solar radiation from reaching the Earth.

The helium-3 element on the whole planet is basically obtained by the decay of tritium nucleus (overweight hydrogen) through beta. The abundance of tritium is inherently rare, so the helium-3 element on the planet is even less pitiful, and the purification cost is very high. The total amount of helium-3 that can be used by humans on the planet is only about half a ton.

Before that, the helium 3 used by the Interstellar Age Institute to study the second generation of nuclear fusion reactors was basically collected by them in their own nuclear fusion reactors, and can only be used for some experiments. It is not that they do not want to hold a large amount of experimental materials, but that it is very laborious to collect or mine helium 3 on Earth.

But helium-3 on the Moon is abundant, and it is estimated that helium-3 elements that can be mined throughout the Moon, up to more than 2 million tons, if used exclusively for nuclear fusion reactions, can provide thousands of years of energy supply to humans.

Inside the Sun, there is a process of fusion of hydrogen elements to helium elements, one step of which is the fusion of a rhenium nucleus and a deuterium nucleus, bonded to helium-3.

This reaction occurs mainly in a very small core region of the star, where most helium-3 will continue to fuse to a stable helium-4, with only a small fraction of helium-3 elements, leaving the reaction zone and reaching the surface of the sun, blowing around through the solar wind.

The moon has no magnetic field and atmosphere, and helium-3 elements in the solar wind will reach the moon surface and be evenly distributed in the moon's soil. Although helium-3 that follows the solar wind is very small in total, it has accumulated over billions of years, and this amount will accumulate very impressively.

It's the Earth's thick atmosphere and geomagnetic field that keeps helium-3 from reaching the ground. That's why helium-3 is scarce on Earth, and there's so much on the moon.

In that case, Mercury, the nearest planet to the Sun, will certainly have more Helium 3, because Mercury does not have the same atmosphere as Venus on Earth, so it will also receive Helium 3 from the Sun, and because it is closer to the Sun, the Helium 3 content will only be higher than that of the Moon.

So Kwak Father's explanation of his boss is ridiculous. Can there be more helium 3 on the moon than on Mercury? For them, Mercury's distance is not a big problem, and returning half a month at the earliest is not a delay.
