>game has a magic system that make sense
>>722545865Meow
demon core is the original american "nah, i'd win"
>>722545865i want to fuck the demon core
>>722545865Looks like Shimakaze's Rensouhou-chan.
>tfw nuclear energy is just getting a lump of material together until it gets insecure about its weight and overreactsI thought there would be cool lasers involved or something.
>>722545865I found one of these in my grandfather’s things. How do I open it?
>>722550753fun fact: that shit get dangerous when the lid is completely closed
>>722550738Wait until you learn that a nuclear bomb is just a lump of plutonium covered in C4.The C4 goes off and compresses the plutonium from all sides, causing fission.The hard part is making Plutonium.
>>722550738Just do this and make a radioactive hose
>>722550738wait until you learn about how it's all to boil water.
>>722545865counterpoint: science is magic if the average intelligence of the setting is low enough
>>722550738You can make lasers out of nukes.
>>722552023you can make nukes out of lasers.
>>722547794could not have said it better myself
>>722550738Sounds just like me.
>>722551774the other enraging half of it is that nuclear energy is one of the safest and least environmentally/ecologically damaging energy sources available to man today and it is very, very, very purposefully stamped down whenever it appears by fossil fuel companies
>>722545865
>>722545865reminder that it wasn't the lifting the lid that killed them but the slipping of the lid because the retards were using a screwdriver and when it smacked down it excited the material and released a huge wave of radiation
>>722552401It's so hilariously sad how this miracle tech went underused for decades and is quietly making a comeback for fucking ai datacenters.
>>722552401Nuclear is good at generating base load but can't handle fluctuating demand spikes like fossil fuels can.That is why nuclear is dead, also the capital costs involved compared to other energy sources make zero sense. Why spend tens of billions of $$$ on a nuclear plant over a decade when you could build a gas turbine plant in a fraction of that time & cost? and with that time saved, generate energy and revenue to offset the initial capital costs? and all that without having the potential to devastate an entire area for generations on the off chance shit goes wrong
>>722552837Short term planning is killing us.All of our base load should be coming from nuclear by now, but the people calling the shots are planning to be dead in 10 years.
>>722552635They had a safe way of doing it too, they were just too lazy to do it that way. Room full of geniuses and they're as safety conscious as an indonesian construction worker.
>>722545865Name that game /v/
>>722552635it was specifically one retard, louis slotin, who wore fucking cowboy boots in and was using a screwdriver to show offthe demon core incidents are objectively much dumber than the chernobyl meltdowns
>>722553175Fate.
Fusionbros... two more decades?
>>722553445with saudis beginning to look at literally anything that isn't oil in order to retain their affluence, i could very easily see them pushing HARD for nuclear energy
>>722547870shut the fuck up zoomer
>>722553474That seems less annoying than them buying up WWE and most of american sports in the past few years alone, now including most stand up comedy as well
>>722552837>Nuclear is good at generating base load but can't handle fluctuating demand spikes like fossil fuels canwrongdumping excess energy into water electrolysis to create hydrogen that can power on-demand generators is a decades old conceptit just hasn't been done before because there hasn't been consistent excess baseload from reactors anywhere, only now some places are getting that excess baseload due to renewables having fluctuating outputsthe best part is that using nuclear energy to manufacture hydrogen to burn is more renewable than actual renewables
>>722553445we've already achieved fusion ignition, we just need to find out how to scale it, so yea, two more decades. https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-national-laboratory-makes-history-achieving-fusion-ignition
>>722552837ok oil shill
>>722553630hydrogen will never work as an energy source long as there still is no good storage option for hydrogen. Incredibly lossy, inefficient, has to be kept cold, leaky as fuck, just in general a massive pain in the ass to store long term for mass use.Thus we are back to square one with nuclear being both inefficient and incapable against other power sources.
>>722554326If only... there were some kind of easily-stored and plentiful source of material...... that could easily be turned into hydrogen on-demand..........
>>722550738It's all dominoes all the way down
>>722545865>Weapon damage has a 1% chance of landing a crit that oneshots both you and your target at the same time
>>722553962>fusion is only now breaking even at a theoretical level after all these years>still can't generate a watt of usable power, let alone cover the energy needs of the actual facility the reactor needs to operateWe're out of time. The boomers fucked us and we have to use what we've got.
>>722552837>Nuclear is good at generating base load but can't handle fluctuating demand spikes like fossil fuels can.It literally can. You're thinking of "renewables".
>>722553445How much energy would it require to power the magnetic containment field vs how much energy it would produce?And don't get me started on the safety concerns and all the maintenance costsSo yeah, two more centuries
>>722554473you still need to store that hydrogen which is the entire problem. battery tech is far more advanced than something like hydrogen fuel cells for this use case anyway>>722554671just because they can doesn't mean they should
>>722554828>believing in euro-tier scam MCF technologyz pinch nigga

>>722552837Actually nuclear can adjust too.It's just not quite as nimble as fossil fuels.Observe this graph of the power load requirements over the course of a day.A fool would think that nuclear can only generate power up to the blue line because it can't adjust to power demands.But in reality the blue line can follow the red line over the course of the day. Just not super accurately. Like it might take an hour to adjust the power output.But you don't need to be super accurate. You can make up that last little bit of demand with nimble options like fossil fuels or battery storage.Fossil fuels should be a tiny 5-10% of our power generation to handle instability. Not 80%.
>>722553445I've given up on seeing it in my lifetime and I'm only 30. It's been "just around the corner" for almost 100 years now. I hope my kids get to see it.
>>722554924>battery tech is far more advanced than something like hydrogen fuel cells for this use case anywayYes, and there are big liquid chemical batteries the size of swimming pools that can handle this stuff already. Been around about a decade. But the use case is very niche, and fossil fuel companies have a very vested interest in making sure no one can use it, so they push for a lot of regulations preventing constructing new ones in places they have a lot of political influence (i.e., most energy markets).The current use case is mainly big factories storing power at night and discharging during the day to save money on their bills. They can save millions over a year with it surprisingly.
>>722545865>>722552443sex with demon core-chan
>>722553445Think of it like this: it'll probably happen within our lifetimes still. Most anons will live 50-60 years beyond 2025.Same with exploring Mars and establishing a moonbase.Could be worse all in all.
