Chapter 506 (2/2)

After all, without a nuclear power engine, it is impossible to send large spaceships into space. Wang Bin and his team can make spaceships in space. After all, human civilization now has so many space stations. Making spaceships in space already has this ability. What's more, they can also make spaceships on the moon.

After all, the moon is not the earth. Its gravity is only one sixth that of the earth, and there is no unprecedented existence. The ion engine can give full play to its due thrust.

Of course, the fact that the focus is not on the controllable nuclear fusion engine does not mean that Wang Bin and Tiangong technology have completely abandoned their original development in this regard.

On the contrary, in terms of harsh environment technology, Wang Bin and their Tiangong technology have been carrying out research and development, whether returning to the engine or the reactor.

No matter compared with the nuclear power engine, their Tiangong technology focuses more on the R & D of controllable nuclear fusion reactor, especially in the miniaturization of controllable nuclear fusion reactor. They have invested huge human and material resources in R & D, and have made great achievements.

Take the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion reactor they developed before. Its power is only about ten megawatts, but its volume and weight are very large and can't be used on small spacecraft at all.

However, after three years of development, their Tiangong technology has been able to manufacture reactor units with a power of more than 100 MW, and they are smaller than the first generation controllable nuclear fusion reactor in terms of volume.

As for the 10 megawatt controlled fusion reactor, its volume has been reduced to less than five cubic meters, and its overall weight has been reduced to less than 30 tons.

In addition, there is cold nuclear fusion technology, which has developed very rapidly in recent years. After all, Tiangong technology is absolutely capable of making a breakthrough in a short time when it has mastered the principle. Of course, this is also the reason why Wang Bin bought a large number of technologies in the mall.

Otherwise, without five or six years, it is absolutely impossible to make a breakthrough on the original basis, let alone greater achievements.

At the same time, Wang Bin also has plans for the use of cold nuclear fusion technology.

Even now, the maximum energy generated by cold nuclear fusion is only less than 1 MW, which is very different from the energy output of hundreds of gigawatts of thermonuclear fusion.

The plan of cold nuclear fusion also has its own absolute advantage, that is, the volume of the cold nuclear fusion reaction device is very small. For the reactor with the largest 0.8 MW, its volume is less than one cubic meter and its weight is less than one ton.

Therefore, if these cold nuclear fusion are used on those small space combat platforms as energy sources, there is no need to worry about energy for small space combat platforms. If ion engines are added, these small space combat platforms can definitely fly to any place in the solar system for combat.
