593: It’s almost paying off?

The same is true in the civilian sector.

Although solid-state batteries seem sufficient in the civilian sector.

However, after the appearance of Metal Hydrogen Battery, personal aircraft may become very frequent, and humanity's control over energy will be further enhanced.

And the original fossil energy will completely lose its market.

After all, even miniaturized Controlled nuclear fusion is still not too small and can only be installed in some large instruments.

And wireless charging technology has strong limitations.

With the advent of Metal Hydrogen Battery, some high-energy-consuming personal equipment can be fully implemented.

However, the current problem is still troublesome.

Although it has been roughly determined that metallic hydrogen can maintain its metallic state because of some kind of catalyst or similar substance.

But the research on this substance... is still very difficult.

Guo Hao asked Zhou Ming to buy a device that could create ultra-high pressure, and then sent a lot of liquid hydrogen.

Through Xiao Xin's precise control, the ultra-high pressure device was used to compress several cubic meters of liquid hydrogen.

Liquid hydrogen was continuously compressed, and after reaching the critical value, the liquid hydrogen turned into solid hydrogen.

But as liquid hydrogen turned into solid hydrogen.

Further compression became increasingly difficult, even to the point of being impossible to compress further.

Although the density of solid hydrogen became higher and higher, there was no change towards becoming metallic hydrogen.

What's going on???

Guo Hao stopped the equipment, his brows furrowed tightly, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He really didn't understand why this was happening.

Why exactly is this happening??

Is the manufacturing of metallic hydrogen this difficult?

Guo Hao felt a little helpless. The difficulty of manufacturing this thing was higher and harder than Guo Hao had imagined.

Anyway, the alien civilization that manufactured metallic hydrogen shouldn't have used the same method as him, otherwise, the difficulty would be too great to manufacture!

Moreover, the efficiency is low, and hydrogen is a dangerous gas. How can it be manufactured on a large scale in this way?

Anyway, Guo Hao couldn't think of a way.

Guo Hao felt a little helpless.

Forget it, let's think of other ways!

Remove the high pressure.

After the solid hydrogen lost the support of ultra-strong pressure, it gradually began to disintegrate. This speed was not as fast as Guo Hao had imagined.

But it kept disintegrating.

The slow disintegration and release, this process is somewhat similar to the process of solid ice melting.

In fact, there are indeed similar aspects in essence.

After all, ice only exists below zero degrees Celsius. When the temperature is above zero degrees Celsius, ice will slowly melt.

The situation before him followed the same principle.

Thinking of this, Guo Hao sighed slightly.

Let's think of other ways!

Just as Guo Hao was thinking of a solution.

"Master, the mistress is home!"

Guo Hao was slightly startled. He immediately stood up and walked out of the underground Laboratory.

When he reached the living room.

The villa door was just opened by Shen Luoyan.

"Luoyan."

Guo Hao smiled and called out to Shen Luoyan.

Shen Luoyan, looking exhausted, placed the document bag in her hand on the nearby coffee table, and then sat down on the sofa.

"The construction progress on the Moon is getting faster and faster, and the second-generation electric propulsion engine has already begun optimization.

After the optimization of the second-generation electric propulsion engine is completed, should we build a third spacecraft?"

Shen Luoyan looked at Guo Hao and asked.

"Of course!"

Guo Hao didn't hesitate at all.

"Anyway, it's going to be built sooner or later! Besides, we didn't want to build a large number of Controlled nuclear fusion before because the cost of helium-3 on Earth was too high.

But now it's different. We have already mastered the helium-3 mineral deposits on the Moon. For others, going to the Moon is something that consumes a lot of funds and yields no visible returns.

It's different for us! And when the Guanghan Palace Base is almost built, especially the commercial facilities like the hotel we planned.

At that time, we can develop Moon tourism! Allowing people to travel to the Moon, just this one item alone, we can recoup a large amount of money!

Building spacecraft is something that will happen sooner or later!"

Guo Hao said to Shen Luoyan with a smile on his face.

"Yes! I think so too! Oh, right!"

At this moment, Shen Luoyan suddenly thought of something, and her gaze turned to Guo Hao beside her.

"What's wrong??"

Guo Hao was slightly startled, a hint of confusion in his eyes, looking at Shen Luoyan beside him.

"The research results on lunar soil, lunar layer, and lunar rock have come out, and also the extraction process for the Moon's helium-3 ore has been perfected.

The technical documents are all here."

Shen Luoyan paused for a moment, took out a stack of documents, and handed them to Guo Hao.

"Too lazy to read them, just tell me. Tell me the important parts."

Guo Hao smiled.

"Okay! Then I'll tell you."

Shen Luoyan didn't object. She cleared her throat.

"According to the research of geological astronomers, the lunar soil and rock layers have quite a few similarities with those on Earth.

Furthermore, there are many things on it that are very significant. The current rock layer report strongly proves one thing."

"What thing?"

Guo Hao looked at Shen Luoyan curiously.

"There are many theories about the origin of the Moon itself. There is the Earth origin theory, which says that a part of the Earth separated and formed the Moon.

There is also the cosmic origin theory, which says that the Moon is a satellite captured by the Earth from the universe.

And there is also the cosmic impact theory, where an asteroid hit the Earth, and after taking away a large amount of material from the Earth, the Moon was formed!

This is the theory that we can almost confirm at present!"

"That's interesting!"

Guo Hao was intrigued.

This origin theory naturally doesn't help much with specific Science research, but it can at least help humans better understand the Earth and the universe, which is still very important!

"Anything else?"

Guo Hao continued to ask.

"Also, regarding the extraction of helium-3 ore, our experts extracted 300 grams of liquid helium-3 from the approximately 65 kilograms of helium-3 ore mined from the Moon for the first time!

The net content is extremely high!"

Saying this, a hint of excitement appeared in Shen Luoyan's eyes.

Guo Hao also showed surprise in his eyes.

This content is very high!

"Not bad!"

Guo Hao was still very satisfied.

During these dozen or so round trips to and from the Moon, Deep Space Technology has obtained nearly twenty tons of raw helium-3 ore!

If all the helium-3 is extracted, at least 92 kilograms of helium-3 can be extracted!

It's important to know that because Controlled nuclear fusion is being promoted worldwide, the price of helium-3 has been rising steadily around the world, and it has now reached the level of 3000 US dollars per gram!

In other words...

It is worth nearly 300 million US dollars!

According to the current exchange rate, 1.8 billion dragon yuan!

Although it hasn't broken even yet, it's getting close!

This is already very terrifying... After all, others going to the Moon are just purely losing money!
