With Chairman Li's guidance, in the basin area on the far side of the moon,

Dozens of steel smelters have begun construction.

Smelting steel requires a large amount of energy and is done through smelting.

To meet the energy needs of dozens of steel plants,

Meanwhile, General Manager Huang has already begun experiments on a controlled nuclear fusion reactor.

"Mr. Huang, how's the situation on your end?"

What Su Lin is most concerned about now is the progress of the fusion nuclear reactor.

I had previously conducted small-scale experiments with helium-3 in the laboratory.

Although the experimental results meet the design requirements,

However, the data is too little to support the claim that controlled nuclear fusion has been successfully developed.

Now that we're on the moon, helium-3 can be extracted simply from the soil.

There's no need to worry about insufficient experimental data anymore.

"Principal Su, if you're in such a hurry, why don't you come?"

Wearing a white hard hat, General Manager Huang was conducting a final inspection of the equipment at the newly built nuclear power plant.

"I can't do it. Mr. Huang, aren't you representing the world's most advanced nuclear technology?"

This job is yours alone!

"Principal Su, please stop labeling me. Wasn't the technology provided by your Lanxiang Military Industry?"

I'm just helping you set up the equipment.

Nuclear fusion reactors require high temperature, high pressure, and high density conditions to operate normally.

Therefore, the structural design is much more complex than current fission types.

"Can we conduct the experiment today?"

"Yes, that's possible! We notified the experimental group yesterday to purify the helium-3."

Principal Su, to be honest, if we complete this experiment,

Forget about generating electricity on the moon; just transporting it back to Earth would cause the Middle East's oil market to collapse!

Su Lin, however, has no plans to apply helium-3 nuclear fusion reactors on a large scale.

As long as power generation can be successfully achieved on the moon, then all bases on the moon...

The energy problem for the launch center and the subsequent arsenal construction was thus solved.

Once the "Luan Bird" aerospace carrier platform is officially launched,

The position of global military hegemon is not something the US can simply retain at will.

The true meaning of technological leadership is not the gap, but the blockade.

Su Lin was well aware of this.

As long as fossil fuels continue to be used on Earth, controlled nuclear fusion power plants will be possible.

They can provide electricity at a fraction of the market price.

The price difference is all profit.

If nuclear fusion reactors are widely adopted, do you want to maintain high electricity prices globally?

That means it's not up to Su Lin to decide alone.

After all, electricity is a vital system for people's livelihood.

"What's the pressure situation at the reactor pressure vessel?"

"Mr. Huang, the reactor pressure vessel is under normal pressure."

"Fuel team, prepare to refuel with helium-3 fuel rods!"

"receive!"

"Keep a close eye on the cooling system. The fuel used in this experiment is over 1000 times that we use in the lab."

If a problem occurs, immediately activate the backup system.

"Received, Mr. Huang!"

The Qingshan Nuclear Power Plant, along with Lanxiang Military Industry, even developed a dedicated control system for this fusion reactor.

Monitoring and controlling the reactor reaction rate,

It can respond immediately if there is a fluctuation in the rate.

Adjust the flow and pressure of the cooling system to ensure safety and reliability!

However, the ultimate goal was still to provide Xuan Nu and Bai Di with space fighter jets.

Provides a stable power system.

As the main model of large strategic aerospace carrier platforms,

There are extreme requirements for the power of the power system and the range.

"Principal Su, the first round of nuclear fusion experiments using helium-3 fuel is about to begin."

"Received! Mr. Huang, this is the most important step in the Nantianmen plan. Don't let things fall apart."

If nuclear fusion reactors are successful, then the energy problem will be solved.

"You're asking me? You should ask Sister Chang'e!"

"Fuel pack, begin fueling!"

Two staff members wearing protective suits,

Two fuel rods filled with helium-3 were inserted into the reactor's fuel pool.

"Cooling system, what is the current coolant outlet temperature?"

"Mr. Huang, we haven't started the cooling system yet!"

The operator replied via communicator.

"What time is it? All the critical systems are in operation, why isn't your cooling system activated yet?"

"Mr. Huang, we're on the moon now, and the surface temperature is -102 degrees Celsius..."

"Oh right, I almost forgot, the moon basically doesn't need a cooling system."

"As long as it doesn't explode!"

This can save a significant amount of cooling costs.

Indeed, conducting nuclear fusion reactions on the moon not only provides ample fuel,

The conditions are also very suitable.

"Begin the experiment!"

"receive!"

After more than an hour of experimentation, the experimental data was basically consistent with the previous simulations.

"Principal Su, it looks like our nuclear fusion reactor is a success!!!"

Mr. Huang looked at the data on the monitor of the on-site control system.

All data are within the normal range.

Moreover, the amount of electricity released was 20 percent higher than expected.

"Congratulations, Principal Su!"

"Then China will be the only country in the world to have mastered large-scale nuclear fusion!"

"If the Americans knew this, they would probably withdraw their troops from the Middle East immediately."
