Chapter 544 He is so young
After hearing what Xu You said, some people have guessed what Xu You meant.
"If our goal is not to transport helium-3 back to Earth as an energy source, many of these problems will no longer exist. Yes, what I mean is to directly establish a scientific research base on the moon and use helium-3 as one of the main conventional energy sources on the moon."
The Dongri controlled nuclear fusion project led by Xu You has made good progress and will enter the application stage in the near future.
With this technology, it is enough to solve the energy problem on Earth, and there is no need to spend manpower and material resources to transport helium 3 back from the moon.
Because even if we want to transport back helium-3, most of the time we will transport back some ore and then refine the resources back on Earth.
This method is too inefficient and cannot last long.
On the contrary, if a scientific research base is established directly on the moon, not only will the problem of transporting helium-3 be eliminated, but the energy problem of the lunar scientific research base will also be directly solved.
This approach can be said to kill two birds with one stone and solve two difficult problems at the same time.
After the discussion, Xu You formally applied to the higher authorities to approve the project of helium-3 mining and utilization.
Although this project will not yield any results in the short term, it is a project that will definitely be carried out in the long-term plan.
Therefore, the sooner the project is launched, the sooner the lunar base can be established and the sooner the helium-3 clean nuclear fusion resources can be utilized.
After careful internal discussion, Xu You's proposal was successfully passed, and Xu You was appointed as the person in charge of the project to lead the research work of the project.
With the official confirmation of this project, relevant experts from our allied countries were also invited to work together on the project research.
In the exploration of the moon, we have become the undisputed world leader, and at the same time we have assumed more responsibilities and obligations.
These allied countries also regard us as the center of the world and are willing to make their utmost efforts for this.
…
On this day, Xu You, together with many experts from home and abroad, began to study the mining and utilization of helium-3.
This time, many domestic and foreign experts in related fields gathered together, many of whom are world-class experts in the corresponding scientific research fields.
Among them, apart from Xu You, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the Soviet nuclear physicist, Ajinov.
Like Xu You, Ajinov is a winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Relying on his achievements in nuclear physics in the 20th century, he eventually became one of the three physicists who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in the 2000 year.
Ajinov was a well-known physicist in the Soviet Union.
To some extent, Ajimnov's status is almost equivalent to Xu You's status in our country.
This time, being able to invite Ajinov to join will have a very positive impact on the progress of the project.
Ajinov was assigned to a very important position in the meeting room, waiting for the meeting to begin.
As soon as the meeting time arrived, Xu You appeared on the stage on time, bowed slightly to everyone, and gave a brief self-introduction.
"Professor Xu You... is actually so young."
This was the first time Ajimnov met Xu You. He always knew that Xu You was young, but he didn't expect that he looked so young and handsome.
At this age, he is not even older than Ajinov's youngest student.
But soon, Ajinov felt the special temperament of Xu You.
In just a few words, Xu You showed his extraordinary eloquence and unfathomable knowledge.
"Professor Xu You is indeed a rare talent in the world."
Listening to Xu You's explanation, Ajimnov couldn't help but sigh.
Long before, when the Soviet Union organized scientists to participate in the rabbit's moon landing project, Ajinov expressed his desire to participate very enthusiastically.
In addition to wanting to make his own achievements in lunar exploration, Ajimnov also very much hopes that he can have close contact and communication with Xu You.
In the field of nuclear physics, Ajinov believes that he is the world's leading expert.
"According to the latest exploration of our Golden Rabbit-1 lunar rover, the lunar helium-3 atoms found so far exist mainly in two forms. The first is in the form of vacancy defects in the ore, and the second is in the form of interstitial defects in the ore. The first problem we need to solve is to find the best way to mine helium-3."
Although the helium-3 content on the moon is very high, it is only relatively high, because helium-3 only exists in various forms and in small quantities in various minerals.
Only after helium-3 is extracted from the ore can the subsequent utilization process be carried out.
After Xu You finished his part of the story, Ajinov began his own.
"In the study of helium-3 extraction methods, our laboratory has made some achievements, and now I will share them with you."
Everyone was a little surprised to hear what Ajinov said.
"We have achieved results so quickly? Didn't we just obtain some lunar samples?"
"Ajinov is indeed a world-class nuclear physics expert. His research speed far exceeds that of other laboratories. Even Professor Xu You may not be able to match Professor Ajinov in nuclear physics research."
"Everyone has his own expertise. Professor Xu You's main research area is condensed matter physics, and nuclear physics is just a secondary field of his research. If Professor Xu You could really solve everything on his own, there would be no need to ask everyone to come together."
Xu You is also very much looking forward to Ajimnov's achievements, because in this area, Xu You does not have any breakthrough results at present.
It’s not that Xu You really got into any trouble in this research. After all, Xu You had too much work to do and he really felt a little overwhelmed.
In addition to the most important tasks, many branch tasks are still led by other experts.
After the meeting place quieted down a bit, Ajinov continued:
"According to our latest research, under high temperature conditions, the diffusion rate of helium-3 in the ore will be significantly increased. These atoms tend to gather into bubbles and be released from the ore..."
As he spoke, Ajinov projected his research report on the big screen in the conference hall.
Xu You and everyone else turned their attention to the big screen.
"This is……"
After seeing the research method used by Ajinov, Xu You couldn't help but be shocked.
