There is no need to worry about secrecy, and the people who know the secrets of Zhang's secret warehouse so far are only limited to a few people such as Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi, Alice, and Jill. Even Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi only knew that these four little guys had a very special special room like a child's house, and no one was allowed to enter it, as for what was inside and what they could do, they didn't know anything.

"Okay," Xiao Chenxi clapped his hands, "Now that all the problems are basically solved, other weapon systems are easier to solve." One of the biggest questions we face now is, what is the power source for this thing? ”

Hearing Xiao Chenxi say this, Zhang Lan also began to be stunned: yes, what is used as a source of power? If you want to achieve the super power of Tony Tucker's super alloy suit, ordinary batteries will definitely not work, even the high-performance battery that Xiao Chenxi just told herself will not do, and even the three nuclear batteries sent by Cage to make biochemical mechanical cheetahs, biochemical mechanical golden eagles and biochemical mechanical killer whales cannot meet the needs of this kind of high-performance equipment. Tony Tucker's alloy suit uses a beam fusion reactor as a power source, could it be that he still wants to build a small beam fusion reactor, and then let Xiao Chenxi and the others make a propulsion system composed of an anti-gravity system and ion thrusters they said to do this? Ahem, isn't that too much of an exaggeration?

To be honest, Zhang Lan is still beating a small side drum in his heart about whether he can use the existing technology on the earth to make these three things: ultra-small quantum fusion reactor, anti-gravity system, and ion propulsion system.

The quantum reactor in Xiao Chenxi's body was too powerful, and Zhang Lan looked very greedy: thousands of years of service life! If there is such a reactor, no, it only needs to have a life span of thirty or fifty years!

But Zhang Lan didn't even have to think about it to know that with the current level of science and technology on the earth, it was completely impossible to build a reactor of this level used by Xiao Chenxi and Alice themselves: it was a reactor that could work for thousands of years! The existing nuclear fission reactors on Earth have a lifespan of only 20 years for a single nuclear fuel charge, but as for controlled earth fusion reactors? This one, although the prospects are very good, there is no shadow so far.

In addition, ahem, is it possible that in the future it will be possible to sell to the military the kind of simplified type, which also needs to be equipped with reactors? This thing, it seems to be said, well, it's a little bit unpleasant. Do you still need to use batteries?

Thinking of the battery, Zhang Lan couldn't help but scold himself for being a pig's head: the current ion battery is not very suitable for the high-performance equipment he requires, but after a while, what is the difficulty of the higher-performance ion battery developed by Xiao Chenxi's clan to meet the simplified version of the suit? It's like needing to refuel your car, just charge the battery on time. If it really doesn't work, won't there be fuel cells in the future, and anyway, there will be no rush to push this thing to the military now, so what's the rush - even if it is going to be pushed to the military, we have to consider how it is more appropriate to launch it, and it must not make people feel that the appearance of this thing is too abrupt.

This simplified version of the suit does not require them to fly, it is just a good ability to maneuver on land, it only needs to provide good protection and a stronger weapon system, and even whether the missiles are equipped need to be carefully considered. Even if there is a real need to fly, then you can design a kind of flying armor similar to Murphy in "Iron Armor Dragon" for these suits, right? That thing's propulsion system is a really small turbofan engine! In this way, it seems that high-performance fuel cells are enough? -- It is a bit too much to say that the state knows that it is actually engaged in missiles without permission, even though it is a joint venture company. But it is a joint venture company, if it is a foreign-funded company, there is no problem, the government must be thinking of buying it legally, but if it is a joint venture company, this problem is very debatable. The only thing that is fortunate is that it is not a private company, otherwise it would be better to wait for death, or simply wipe your own neck.

"Or," Zhang Lan asked tentatively and cautiously, "just like in the comic "Iron Man", you also build an ultra-small quantum fusion reactor?" Looking at the unhappy faces of Xiao Chenxi and Alice, the two little girls were obviously very dissatisfied with Zhang Lan's proposal, Zhang Lan hurriedly added, "You don't need to use it so well yourself, if it is like your reactor, the service life is as long as it is thousands of years, it will be a worry for us, and it can be used for twenty or thirty years." ”

"Do you design an ultra-small reactor that can last twenty or thirty years and meet the requirements of such an alloy suit?" Xiao Chenxi and Alice glanced at each other, two

nodded, "It's not impossible." However, it is not easy to get the material of nuclear fusion, and it seems to be very troublesome to do. As long as this problem can be solved, the other problems are much simpler. ”

"And?" Zhang Lan frowned, muttering to herself, "Such a small fusion reactor, shouldn't it take much harmony?" ”

"It's true that it doesn't take much, but it's also quite difficult. Think about how many nuclear warheads your country has in total? And how many of these nuclear warheads are hydrogen warheads that use nuclear fusion? You should know how bad this thing is," Xiao Chenxi shook his head, signaling that this matter was indeed a little difficult.

Seeing Zhang Lan's depressed face there, like seeing a child with a good toy but no way to get it, Xiao Chenxi's heart softened, and she couldn't help but sigh: It seems that if it really doesn't work, then build a short-life quantum fusion reactor, and maybe really have to build an anti-gravity device, maybe add an ion propulsion system? Well, if that's the case, this kid has no problem flying straight to the moon. Hey, okay! Xiao Chenxi couldn't help laughing at herself: a private car that goes directly to the moon for free.

Thinking so, Xiao Chenxi finally nodded, "Okay, I'll help you think of a way to do this, but you have to be mentally prepared, you don't have to think about it in a short time." ”

Now this idea can only be said, the specific situation, even for Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi can't say it, or dare not say it, for fear of stimulating this kid. ,

Hearing Xiao Chenxi say this, Zhang Lan was pleasantly surprised: he really didn't expect that Xiao Chenxi was really willing to give his most core technology to himself, although it was only for himself. He cautiously asked, "So how long will it take for such an ultra-small fusion reactor to be completed?" ”

Zhang Lan muttered a little in his heart: Tony Tucker's ability to quickly build an ultra-small fusion reactor in the comics is inseparable from the fact that he himself is an arms manufacturer and does not lack those related manufacturing materials. But the key problem now is that although nuclear fusion reactors have been used for decades, there are about hundreds of nuclear fission power stations and I don't know how many and power submarines there are, quantum fusion reactors are still in the research stage, and nuclear fusion reactions are not controlled so far.

"The reason why Tony Tucker's fusion reactor in the comics is controlled is because he uses the nuclear fusion form of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion," Alice thought for a while and couldn't help but shake her head, "This form of nuclear fusion at the level of quantum mechanics, it seems that no one on your earth can do it yet, even at the level that no one can do in the laboratory in a short time." With the current level of technology on your earth, it would be very good that Tonitarch's ultra-small quantum reactor in the movie could be made in 1 year, and Tonitarch's ultra-small quantum fusion reactor in the comics was really a little too advanced. For us, technology is not the problem, the problem is the production equipment, after all, comics are still comics, compared to the actual production process, comics are like children. ”

"About two years," Xiao Chenxi hesitated, "I'm not very sure, there are too many uncertainties."

But I have a compromise solution, we can make a high-performance fuel cell first, before this quantum fusion reactor is made, we can use this fuel cell to hold it, and wait until we make this quantum fusion reactor and then replace it with a new power source for your big toy," Xiao Chenxi thought for a while and asked Zhang Lan, "What do you think?" ”

"That's a good idea," nodded, but Zhang Lan was still a little worried, "What about performance?" Will the performance of my big toy be much different from the performance of using a fuel cell than using a fusion reactor? ”

"There's a little bit of a gap, but it's not a big gap," Alice added, "after all, we're going to make something for our people, and we'll take care of that." If you want to fly, you don't have to do it, but if you want to fly at supersonic speeds, well, it's not impossible, but it's probably similar to the effect of your current aero engines with afterburners, and the fuel of the battery will be consumed in a very short time. ”

In this case, the shuttle bus to the moon will not be able to run in a short time. When she said this, Xiao Chenxi also laughed in her heart.

"It's okay to be able to use fuel cells," Zhang Lan sighed with a taste, and finally let go of his heart, "Anyway, after the fuel consumption in the fuel cell is cleaned, you can also add fuel, right?" It's as simple as filling up your car. ”
