Chapter 148 Heavy Element Fusion and Super Spaceship (4,000 words long chapter)
"This is very difficult. After all, unlike your father who can only talk on paper, I have been trained in countless actual combats. My teachers are countless enemies who want to kill me."
"And the wars your father commanded were all crushing battles that ended in less than a month. As an East Asian, you should know that it is normal for Lian Po to look down on Zhao Kuo." Cheng Xin mocked Lin Yun.
"Wall Facer Cheng Xin, please maintain respect for the other Wall Facers, otherwise we will warn you." Sai, chairman of the Star Defense Association, warned.
(This is Sai in the parallel universe, not the protagonist. The protagonist is now the Grand Marshal of the Solar System Fleet)
"I'm sorry, Madam Chairman." Although Cheng Xin said this, there was no apology on her face. Then she crossed her legs and leaned back on the chair.
Although Lin Yun was furious, it was impossible to refute Cheng Xin in terms of qualifications. Apart from invading small countries, her father did not have any impressive achievements.
Then the three wall-facers began to report on the progress of their plans. When Cheng Xin mentioned that he wanted to build 10,000 planetary engines on the surface of Mercury, Lin Yun smiled with an unknown meaning.
"You must have never studied physics, or you have falsified your academic qualifications, otherwise you wouldn't have proposed such a plan. The area of these 10,000 planetary engines is too small for Mercury." Lin Yun couldn't wait to mock.
"Let them push Mercury, just like using a needle to prick a balloon. Mercury's plates cannot withstand such a strong force." Hines also joined in.
"How do you know that the area of these planetary engines is very small? Did your father who was broken into the wall tell you this, or was it the ETO wall breaker who told you?" Cheng Xin retorted.
"Compared to the area of Mercury, of course it is very small. Mercury is still a planet no matter how small it is. You are an astrophysicist, so you should know this, right?" Lin Yundao said.
"Each planetary engine covers an area of 3,000 square kilometers, which is not small even compared to Mercury, and these planetary engines will extend thousands of kilometers deep into the ground and even penetrate Mercury."
"At the same time, the outer shell of Mercury will be transformed into an armored area and a weapons area, and the interior will be a living area and a logistics area. Therefore, in addition to the fusion power station, Mercury's core can also be used to drive this planetary spacecraft."
"When it is completed, it will be a combination of supply ship, aircraft carrier and arsenal ship. A planetary warship has a complete combat system and logistics, which is comparable to a complete space fleet!" Cheng Xin explained.
"You may be really crazy. It is impossible to transform Mercury into a battleship even if you use up all the resources in the world." Hines laughed at the side.
"And this plan is too straightforward, showing the final strategy from the beginning." Lin Yun also nodded and followed: "This kind of straightforward plan completely fails to reflect the strategic advantages of the Wallfacer."
Cheng Xin just sneered and did not refute Lin Yun and Hines. Then Lin Yun said: "My plan is to study macro-atom technology and break through the sophon blockade by expanding atoms at the macro level."
"It's ridiculous. I think your real plan is to turn all mankind into quantum ghosts." Hines laughed before Cheng Xin could.
"It can be seen that both father and daughter are obsessed with ball lightning. Maybe it's because your husband's parents were killed by ball lightning?" Cheng Xin also added insult to injury.
"It can be seen that you two trash have no respect for me. Are you two my wallbreakers?" Lin Yun countered.
"Your country invaded our homeland in the past, and you still want our respect?" Cheng Xin raised her head and asked.
"First of all, the words of Wall Facer Cheng Xin and Xiens are inappropriate. Secondly, the words of Wall Facer Lin Yun are also inappropriate." The chairman of the Star Defense Association knocked the hammer helplessly again.
After the meeting, several people left to do their own things. Hines continued to work on ideological stamps, and Lin Yun went to space to study macroatoms.

Republic of East Asia, Kanto Province, Saitama Regional National Laboratory
"How could you let this bastard come here?" a researcher whispered.
"Of course the wall-facer can come, even if it's Cheng Xin, let alone." Another researcher said.
After the meeting, Cheng Xin was invited by Du Yulun to Saitama National Laboratory, one of the world's top research bases for controlled fusion of heavy elements.
"It's very ordinary, isn't it? I disappoint you, Madam Prime Minister." Du Yulun, director of Saitama National Laboratory, said.
He was wearing a military uniform, and judging from the stars on his shoulders, he had a high military rank. He was the only scientist Cheng Xin knew who was a senior military general.
"I'm no longer the Prime Minister, and why is this lab not the same as last time?" Cheng Xin said seriously, then she looked around at the operating terminals.
"This is one of the heavy element fusion simulation centers. There are three such scientific research centers in Saitama, and there are four more at Nanpo National Laboratory."
However, Cheng Xin didn't pay attention to her words, but something caught her attention. It looked like a motorcycle helmet, but it was connected to a lot of wires.
So Cheng Xin leaned over to take a closer look, but Du Yulun gently pulled her away and said, "That's the V-suit. Because the computers here can't play games, I put it here to let everyone relax."
So Cheng Xin looked at the colorful portraits hanging above, and she recognized two of them as Li Zhengdao and Ye Zhetai, but Du Yulun was still telling her about those ordinary terminals.
"These terminals are too old. Don't you have the money to replace them with new ones?"
Du Yulun explained: "Behind them are the world's top photon computers, which can perform 10 trillion floating-point operations per second."
At this time, a scientific researcher came over and said: "Doctor, the G1579 model of silicon fusion has been successful."
"Very good." Du Yulun nodded.
"The output module has been paused." Then the researcher looked at Cheng Xin with disgust.
"It's okay, keep running." After Du Yulun said that, he turned to Cheng Xin and said, "You see, I never hide anything from you."
At this time, Cheng Xin noticed that everyone present suddenly started tearing papers and throwing them into the air, which made the already messy laboratory even more messy.
"This is a tradition in the laboratory. When the first ball lightning was captured, Mr. Ye Zhetai threw a handful of shredded paper into the air in order to hide the ball lightning spectrum."
"So now when each calculation model is passed, we will do it once, which can be regarded as a tribute to our ancestors." Du Yulun explained.
"What weird hobby?" Cheng Xin muttered, and then said, "You can conduct fusion experiments or nuclear weapons tests every day. For you, this is as easy as playing games."
"But we can't. Malaysia doesn't have such a powerful photon supercomputer. If you want to do experiments, you can only try real ones... If you do the same thing, it's always the poor who are annoying."
"Ms. Cheng Xin, except for me, no one here has any interest in politics."
Cheng Xin then moved closer to the screen, but there were only scrolling data and transformed curves on it, and the images she finally saw were abstract.
When Cheng Xin looked at another terminal, a physicist stood up and said, "Madam Prime Minister, do you want to see a nuclear fireball controlled by a magnetic constraint system? Sorry, no."
"I'm not the Prime Minister." Cheng Xin reiterated, and then she broke the silence: "Ye Zhetai is from your laboratory, which means you have studied macrofusion weapons?"
"Yes, this laboratory was once responsible for studying macrofusion. After the end of World War III, because the macrofusion experiments were transferred to space, it was reorganized into the Fusion Energy Research Institute."
"No wonder Lin Yun didn't take you into space and let me get a bargain."
"Speaking of this, I actually drank urine at the Space Ball Flash Base for two years. At that time, I was a member of Lin Feng's scientific research team and was responsible for the macroatom capture project."
"Then why don't you, Lin Yun, see that we knew each other before, so he turned his anger on you now?" Cheng Xin laughed.
"Of course not, but it does have something to do with Lin Yun himself. I used to be Lin Yun's doctoral supervisor, and I also worked with him on the ball flash project, so we are still acquaintances."
"However, there is a big gap between her and my experimental styles. When I was in the army, I had some conflicts with Lin Yun, so she fired me after she became a Wallfacer."
"That's her loss. She just lost an outstanding scientist." Cheng Xin laughed at Lin Yun again.
"Like her father, she always believes that one weapon can play a decisive role in the war, but I don't think so."
"So apart from the project volume and technical limitations, I am actually more optimistic about your plan. Of course, I am just an ordinary major general and have no power to decide your plan."
"By the way, based on your last request, we have already started researching planetary engines for you and established a rough mathematical model, which is based on your request."
"You can repeat it again," Cheng Xin said.
"Ultra-high power output, a planetary engine driven by heavy element fusion energy and non-working radiation, right?" Du Yulun said.
"That's right." Cheng Xindao: "The most important thing is that the planetary engine must be refrigerant-free. I don't care how old Aerospace makes trouble in the space fleet. If anyone dares to interfere with my planetary engine, I will kill him!"
"Why do you like fluid-free engines so much?" Du Yulun asked.
"Because the efficiency of the working fluid fusion engine is too low, it is a variant of the chemical engine. Only an engine without working fluid can propel a spaceship as huge as Mercury."
"No working fluid engine, at least the working fluid engine in the current theoretical system cannot push Mercury. In fact, I have always been puzzled as to why you are so keen on transforming a natural planet into a spaceship?" Du Yulun said.
"It's not a natural planet, but Mercury. Seventy percent of this planet is made of metal. We only need raw materials from Mercury to build Mercury into an indestructible battleship without consuming the earth's resources.
." Cheng Xin explained.
"Considering solar radiation and the zero industrial base on Mercury, we still have to rely on blood transfusions from the Earth in the early stage, and the cost will still be astronomical."
"What's more, even if Mercury is really transformed into a planetary battleship, that thing is still a snail with almost zero maneuverability and cannot be used against the Trisolaran fleet." Du Yulun objected.
"You don't need to go too fast. The Mercury battleship will be equipped with ultra-long-range weapons. It only needs to be able to move at one thousandth of the speed of light." Cheng Xin said with a smile.
"You are very humorous, really. Accelerating a planet to one thousandth of the speed of light is an idea that can be used in science fiction movies." Du Yulun said with a smile.
"But the planetary engine model you asked for does have results. Of course, they can't push Mercury yet, but we have designed a brand new spacecraft based on this giant engine."
"Oh? I've heard that there are two types of battleships, the traditional spaceship that uses a working fluid reactor, and the star-class battleship that uses a working fluid reactor."
"This kind of spaceship is too big and has too many structural changes, so it is not considered a star-class battleship. Of course, it is not a traditional spaceship."
"How big?" Cheng Xin asked curiously.
"About 200 times the volume of the Type 005 aircraft carrier, it can theoretically propel the spacecraft to one-tenth the speed of light." Du Yulun took a deep breath and replied.
"So big?" Cheng Xin asked in surprise. She knew that the Type 005 aircraft carrier was a nuclear-powered super aircraft carrier and its mass exceeded 100,000 tons.
The volume of this kind of spaceship is equivalent to 200 Type 005 aircraft carriers. It can be imagined that its size must be an extremely astonishing behemoth.
"You have already planned to transform Mercury into a planetary battleship. Do you still think such a spaceship is big?" Du Yulun said with a smile.
"I planned to transform Mercury into a super battleship within four centuries, but I didn't expect you to tell me that soon, humans would be able to build a spaceship with a volume equivalent to 200 aircraft carriers."
"You have misunderstood. Of course it is impossible now and in the short term. Maybe humans can build this kind of spaceship in a century. What I mean is that this idea is realistic." Du Yulun explained.
Then he handed the design drawing to Cheng Xin. Of course, there were very few technical details on it, but judging from the data alone, this spaceship was indeed ridiculously big.
"I'm more optimistic than you. I bet that as long as the plan is released, humans will have the technical capabilities to build a spaceship of this level within half a century." Cheng Xin said after reading the design drawings.
"Half a century is a long time."
Cheng Xin then discussed some technical details with Du Yulun, but unfortunately Cheng Xin was not able to visit the outside of the laboratory because she suffers from heliophobia.
After chatting, Cheng Xin said: "Then I will go into hibernation first, and then wake me up when humans have the technical ability to build this kind of spaceship again."
"If you encounter technical difficulties or have major results, you will be awakened." Du Yulun said.
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you now." Cheng Xin then left.
