Chapter 1105 1107 Thank the Emperor Your MajestyFor building a power station, site selection is very important. Thermal power stations are generally located in areas with abundant coal mines. Proximity to the material area reduces shipping costs.
Not to mention hydroelectric power stations, which would not exist without rivers. Therefore, hydropower stations can only be built on large rivers, and the site selection is more stringent.
Solar power plants and wind power plants have greater limitations, so the location selection is also more particular. However, due to technical reasons, such power plants can only be used as supplements and cannot be used as the main means of electricity.
Nuclear power plant sites are generally selected in some areas close to water and relatively few disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Safety is the most important, because once leaked, a nuclear power plant is a more dangerous existence than a nuclear bomb.
A higher-level power generation method is a nuclear fusion reactor - this thing is an artificial little sun with almost unlimited energy.
Of course, unlimited energy also means great danger. If a fusion reactor fails, it could cause an explosion more terrifying than a hydrogen bomb.
So, choosing a site for a new, fusion power station has become a very difficult problem for the Alanhill Empire.
Without magic, designing and building a nuclear fusion reactor is actually a very difficult project. After all, the heat of a fusion reactor can melt almost any metal.
Without constraints, the fusion reaction will become uncontrollable, which is similar to the thermonuclear weapons of the Alanhill Empire. It is only a momentary fusion reaction, and the energy cannot be used and collected.
The purely scientific approach is to use electromagnetism to confine ultra-high temperature fusion reactions. Avoid direct contact of hot fusion reactions with metals.
The benefits of this approach are obvious, but the problem also comes with it - creating a strong electromagnetic field also requires a lot of energy, which directly reduces the energy output of the fusion reaction.
In other words, part of the energy of the entire fusion reactor is directly consumed in order to maintain the electromagnetic field.
But in Alanhill, where magic and science go hand in hand, this kind of problem is actually much easier to solve.
The strong electromagnetic field of the Alanhill Empire can be solved by magic, and the high temperature resistance of magic metal is much stronger than that of Earth civilization.
Moreover, as long as the technicians of the Alanhill Empire are willing, they can use more powerful space magic to completely restrain the high-temperature core of nuclear fusion!
There are always more ways than difficulties, so the super fusion reactor of the Alanhill Empire, led by Chris, was built at a very fast speed with a physical reference of a fusion reactor.
But the question that comes with it is, where exactly is the most suitable place for this fusion reactor?
Obviously, the first is safety and the second is performance. The chosen place must be a place where there is a lack of electricity, there is an urgent need for electricity supply, and there is no need to worry too much about the failure of the fusion reactor, which has a particularly huge impact!
It stands to reason that the place where the Alanhill Empire lacks electricity most and needs to be developed the most is the distant Demon Domain 2 planet.
There is basically no development there, and it would definitely be a huge improvement if an almost infinite energy base could be built there.
Many subsequent problems will be solved, and the construction speed of Demon Domain 2 planet will be greatly improved.
It's a pity that building a fusion reactor there was not a good option for Chris.
Because he didn't want to accidentally destroy the magic spar mine he just discovered! Even if it only destroys part of it, or affects the development progress of dozens of days, it is a very worthless choice for the Alanhill Empire.
Another place in desperate need of electricity is the southern part of the Empire, where Alves is waiting for the construction of nuclear power plants, more thermal power plants, more hydroelectric dams, Already waiting eagerly.
In a sense, the shortage of electricity has restricted the development of the southern region, so installing a fusion reactor there will promote the economic development there.
But again, for safety reasons, Chris didn't want to hear about the bombing of Shackleton Harbor one day.
The displaced people in the southern region have just settled down, and if they encounter some kind of disaster, they may be about to collapse completely - especially, this disaster is still man-made, and their savior is placed on them. Around, this is definitely emotionally unacceptable.
The last choice, there are only two options left, one is to send the new fusion reactor to Mayne, and build a super fusion power station on Mayne, which can immediately solve the problem of Mayne. electricity demand.
Another option is to build a larger and faster cosmic spaceship, using fusion reactors as the core energy source for the spaceship.
These two choices made Chris very hesitant, and what finally prompted him to make a choice was the needs of the Alanhill empire at this stage.
Currently Alanhill does not need such a huge cosmic spaceship, whether it is a battleship or a transportation spaceship, the needs are not so urgent.
In this regard, the development needs of spaceship power are far less than the energy required for planet construction.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Chris finally decided to put this newly built, untested dangerous energy source in Maine.
After all, no large-scale magic spar deposits have been found there, and there is only a small agricultural base. Even if it is really bombed, it will have little effect.
As for Demon Realm, it was almost ignored by Chris. It's not that he doesn't want to build the Demon Realm occupied area. He feels that his investment there will at least wait until the war is over and the Demon Race completely surrenders.
After all, there is War Zone, subconsciously Chris doesn't plan to invest too much capital in War Zone - the Imperial Family of the Empire is also poor, and it's almost impossible to open the pot, how dare to spend it?
So, when a large amount of construction materials were sent to the Demon Domain 2 planet, a cosmic spaceship quietly flew to Maine.
It is loaded with the new energy device of the Alanhill Empire, as well as a large number of scientists and technicians.
Loaded with the new hope of Alanhill's imperial energy, this spaceship landed safely in Mayne, and now, the Mayne pioneers, including Jerry, don't know.
Because of their Emperor Your Majesty's careful consideration, they have a powerful energy source, and also because of their own Emperor Your Majesty's careful consideration, they also have a powerful bomb.
They could run out of energy a few weeks later, or they could hear a bang and mountains burst and ground split a few weeks later!
Thanks to the Emperor Your Majesty...
