Monster Factory Chapter 573: : The highest grade " Broken Arrow …
Combustible ice is an ice-like crystalline substance formed from natural gas and water under high pressure and low temperature conditions over a long period of time. Liewen "Net WwΔW. LieWen. Cc
Because it contains a lot of combustible gas, plus it is solid, the same volume of one cubic meter of combustible ice has one hundred and six times more combustion energy than natural gas.
Under normal temperature and pressure, combustible ice will volatilize on its own, and it will burn after ignition, and it will naturally leave no residue and is cleaner than natural gas. It is simply the South Bowan of clean energy.
Moreover, the reserves of this thing are also very rich. Once it is used on a large scale, it can completely replace coal and natural gas energy.
However, extremely harsh mining conditions and storage conditions limit the development of combustible ice.
It is buried in the depths of the Yongdong soil layer, on the seabed that is more than a thousand meters deep, at South Pole. In addition, combustible ice is solid and as strong as coal. It is impossible to drill a deep well and pipe it out like the way to extract oil.
Taking advantage of the low temperature, Professor Cai Chenning opened three combustible ice samples separately, and took a bit of each with a tool.
The samples in the Siberian Yongdong soil layer are mixed gray, the yellow sea samples are light blue, and the South Pole large 6 side is completely transparent, like crystal.
The three kinds of samples, upon contact with air, slowly overflowed with visible gas.
Professor Cai Chenning quickly put the sample into a smaller metal container, marked the place of origin, and put it into the incubator.
Combustible ice is not too rare. merely will wave when it sees the air. Originally, Zhongyun University had a few hundred grams of stock, which could be tested many times. The combustible ice in front of me was the size of a fingernail.
Thanks, Ye Qing didn't leave immediately, after all, he just took someone's gift.
Sitting in the laboratory, talking about the energy topic of combustible ice. Talking and relying, the topic talked about the most technologically advanced nuclear energy. Ye Qing was half joking, and said with a smile that Factory's monthly electricity bill is tens of millions, and he really wants to build a nuclear power plant to power Factory.
"The technology of nuclear power plants is not difficult, but safety management is difficult." Professor Cai Chenning joked: "You want to build a nuclear power plant. It is estimated that at least half of the people in Zhongyun will take to the streets to protest."
"I just sigh, even if I have this technology, I can't get concentrated plutonium, it's not, and the government cannot approve it."
"Plutonium is so easy to do!"
"Weapon-grade plutonium can be obtained. There are many nuclear bombs in the ocean." Professor Cai Chenning laughed: "During the Cold War, the Soviet Union and USA were at war. The two sides' strategy of bomber aircraft and nuclear submarines made high-intensity combat readiness cruises. The accident in the sea."
"I clearly remember that the first nuclear bomb in the United States was lost in 195o. It was called Mark 4 and was carried by B-36bomber aircraft. As a result, this bomber aircraft failed when it returned to China and the nuclear bomb fell into in the sea."
"Ah!"
Ye Qing was stunned, and looked at Professor Cai Chenning in disbelief: "There is still such a thing."
Detecting Ye Qing's surprise, Professor Cai Chenning was very happy to give this former student, now well-known President Ye, to give another history lesson that was impressive in his era.
"Haha ~ has it, more than once."
"I was not born in 195o, but when I was born, our China hadn't built nuclear weapons. The USA guys and the Soviet veterans have lost several nuclear bombs in the sea due to various bomber aircraft accidents."
"The people of China who suffered from nuclear blackmail at that time saw in the newspapers that the two major powers of the United States and the Soviet Union, after all kinds of news about the loss of nuclear weapons, wanted to jump into the sea to fish for nuclear bombs and then hand them over to the country."
"At that time, ~, the gap between us and western countries was so big that everyone was desperate."
Professor Cai Chenning sighed: "Take the most impressive one. It was in 1968, when our country's first nuclear bomb was tested for a few years. The nuclear submarine of the old beauty has been cruising around in the Pacific Ocean. "
"As a result, there was a serious breakdown, which caused a nuclear submarine carrying a nuclear bomb to sink in the deep sea."
"At that time, dozens of USA nuclear submarines were cruising. On the nuclear submarines, there were nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs. What do we have about China."
"..."
Having not experienced the cold war years of the two great powers of the Soviet Union and the United States, Ye Qing really did not expect that there would be so many bizarre and absurd things happening.
Nuclear bomb is the greatest light in human history, and it is also the most terrifying light. Even if you lose it, you can lose it, and there are dozens of them.
But when I think about the tens of thousands of nuclear weapons in both countries during the Cold War, Ye Qing feels that everything is reasonable.
Even today of 21st Century, plane crashes are planted into in the sea, and there are always examples that cannot be found anyway. Moreover, during the Cold War when the electronic level was extremely low.
Continue to talk about this topic, Professor Cai Chenning gave Ye Qing popular science, USA gave the accident situation of nuclear arsenal, divided several levels.
Respectively "Broken Arrow", "Fractured Spear", "Blunt Edge", and "Empty Arrow Barrel", among which the loss of nuclear bombs was the highest, which was also the time of the "Broken Arrow" accident.
The number of "Broken Arrow" accidents is as high as hundreds, but most of the nuclear warheads have been successfully found, but dozens of them have not been found so far. The earliest one is decades old, and USA has long stopped searching. Among them, there are a few cases where I know about Sea Area, but because the sea is too deep to find salvage.
Even the Soviet Union has more sentiments than USA.
There is really no way out of mountains and rivers, and there is another village in the dark.
Continuing to chat for a while, Ye Qing got up and took the little combustible ice to leave.
On this road, Ye Qing was the same as when he came, walking on the trails dotted with plum blossoms, and drove out of the school leisurely.
However, after turning a corner, Lagonda roared and drove quickly in the direction of Dragon Creek Beach Factory.
Ye Qing, holding the steering wheel, has a slightly excited expression,
Sure enough, ~ Monster Factory will not give out impossible technological projects. A trip to his alma mater not only solved the problem of combustible ice for Ye Qing, but also pointed the way to how Weapons Grade Plutonium was obtained.
Combustible ice went directly to South Pole for mining. Professor Cai Chenning told Ye Qing that the combustible ice in sample c was brought from the extremely cold South Pole on the Xuelong research ship.
Due to its unique climatic conditions, South Pole preserves the largest combustible ice resource of pure~IndoMTL.com~, and some combustible ice is directly sealed on the surface by the ice layer, which can be found by breaking the ice layer. Unlike mining from the sea, it can only be carried up a little bit by a drill bit.
As for nuclear weapons...
Yes, Ye Qing decided to dive into the deep ocean to salvage the nuclear weapons that had been lost by USA because there was Weapons Grade Plutonium there.
A nuclear bomb contains at least five kilograms of Weapons Grade Plutonium, and the purity is also in line with the requirements for building energy towers.
USA has no technology to find and salvage, but Ye Qing has.
Multi-purpose Warship is simply a tailor-made product for this project. Even going to South Pole to mine combustible ice is the most suitable.
In this way, the energy tower can be erected on the Factory of Dragon Creek Beach!
děng děng|etc|wait!
Ye Qing suddenly thought that Monster Factory upgrade has reached Sixth Stage, and Multi-purpose Warship of course also followed rose a grade.
Being busy, Ye Qing forgot to watch Multi-purpose Warship after upgrade.
