In the spacious laboratory, Zhou Xing's voice was the only one left.
"The operating temperature of the first isolation wall of the fusion reactor is above 1,000 degrees. The moment the plasma bursts, it can reach 2,000~3,000 degrees. At the same time, as the operation continues, the temperature of the isolation wall will be enhanced by the energy of the fusion reactor. Continuously rising, the temperature far exceeds the melting point that many materials can withstand." Zhou Xing introduced with a smile.
"You developed a new type of high-temperature resistant material?"
Hearing this, all the experts became anxious and asked almost in unison.
Zhou Xing smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not a new material. The working wall uses a nanomaterial - graphene. Its melting point is above 3000 degrees and it has excellent thermal conductivity. Therefore, on this basis, I added a cooling ring inside the working wall so that the heat conduction rate in the working wall is higher than the high temperature conduction rate in the fusion reactor."
Zhou Xing looked at everyone and finally concluded: "That's it. Using these technologies, controllable nuclear fusion can basically be realized."
The experts and professors at the scene were stunned, and they all nodded numbly.
The technical implementation plans described by Zhou Xing are too novel, but when combined, they exactly meet the reaction environment of controllable nuclear fusion technology.
Particle collision, extreme vacuum environment, superconduit magnetic field, ion extraction, temperature insulation material wall... New technologies have developed all-round controllable nuclear fusion operation technology.
"The nuclear fusion reaction was really successful!"
"This, this, is incredible."
"Controllable nuclear fusion has been successful, what should we study in the future?"
“…”
The experts and professors were impressed by Zhou Xing and could not fault the controllable nuclear fusion device. They all seemed lost and murmured absently.
They have spent their entire lives working on controllable nuclear fusion. Now that this field has come to an end, where will they go from here? The experts and professors present stared blankly at the nuclear fusion device in front of them, and they were collectively lost.
Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at the chief and asked for instructions, and said: "Chief, this is the relevant technology in general. More technical details will be explained to them later."
"Haha, okay, okay!" The chief laughed heartily, looking at Zhou Xing with great satisfaction.
Controllable nuclear fusion is so important to China. No product developed by Zhou Xing in the past can be compared with it. He was the first to develop nuclear fusion technology. Its significance is like winning the Third World War without a fight. With his With this technology, China will establish itself as the number one technological power in one fell swoop.
Zhou Xing smiled slightly and asked: "Chief, when will we announce this technology?"
Hearing this, the chief's smile suddenly froze. He felt extremely troubled and suddenly began to think silently.
Once nuclear fusion is announced, it will immediately intensify social, political and economic conflicts at home and abroad. The nearly free energy world's major oil producers will be the first to suffer. At the same time, it will touch the interests of current oil interest groups. When the time comes, they will do something extraordinary. It’s really hard to say.
Mr. Xu and Mr. Wen looked at Zhou Xing and smiled bitterly.
Neighbors next door, energy countries, and oil interest groups have extremely powerful power. Once nuclear fusion technology is announced, they will all become mortal enemies. However, China and the United States are in a state of "confrontation". Now is not the time to make nuclear fusion public. ,unless…
The three people looked at each other solemnly, and they made a unanimous judgment on the current situation.
"Xiao Zhou, the influence of nuclear fusion technology is very important. If it is announced without preparation, it is likely to trigger a large-scale war!" Mr. Xu looked at Zhou Xing and said reassuringly.
"Yes! Once nuclear fusion technology is announced, the world political landscape and the ideologies of various countries towards our country will undergo huge changes. The potential risks are extremely huge. Without a complete plan, this technology must not be disclosed to the outside world." Mr. Wen With a stern look on his face, he glanced around at the other people in the field.
Everyone froze, understanding the meaning of Mr. Wen's eyes.
Zhou Xing nodded with a wry smile: "I understand, it is precisely because of the influence of nuclear fusion technology that I dare not hold a press conference rashly."
Hearing this, Mr. Xu and Mr. Wen couldn't help but smile with relief. Zhou Xing knew that it was okay to be afraid. With technology like nuclear fusion, if he still "acted wildly" as before, he would have to be "punished".
In the past, Shining Star Group released products that disrupted the industry one after another, causing them huge troubles. However, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages and there were no irreparable consequences, so they could tolerate it.
However, the nature of controllable nuclear fusion technology is different. Today's world political landscape is extremely grim. The outcome of the "confrontation" between the two countries has not yet been decided. China is not yet powerful enough to become the world's enemy.
"Then let's do this! We will carry out this technology secretly first, and then we will find a suitable opportunity to announce it to the world." The chief looked at Zhou Xing with a smile and finally made the decision.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but frown. The ultimate goal of developing controllable nuclear fusion is to complete the system's mission.
The system mission - Leap Forward Civilization, aims to improve the civilization of the entire human society, rather than just improving China's national power. If controllable nuclear fusion has always been hidden, how can the mission be completed
"Chief, the existence of Xingyao Group is to promote the progress of human science and technology and the vision of building a better world. It is also my personal motivation and pursuit to specialize in knowledge and research technology. If controllable nuclear fusion continues to be hidden, it will I'm very disappointed." Zhou Xing looked at Mr. Xu and the others and said solemnly.
After hearing Zhou Xing's words, Mr. Xu and the others couldn't help but darken their faces. He meant to promote this technology to the world.
"Xiao Xing, we know that hiding the controllable nuclear fusion technology will cause the Shining Star Group to suffer huge profit losses. We can provide compensation in this regard." Mr. Xu looked anxious and quickly reassured Zhou Xing.
"That's right! The state will fully compensate for the loss of profits suffered by Xingyao Group." The leader looked at Zhou Xing and nodded assuring.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that in their eyes, he was still at the level of a "benefit" creature.
Zhou Xing explained with a wry smile: "Mr. Xu, chief, you can say that with the wealth that Xingyao Group has today, I don't value the word 'profit' as long as I don't hide this thing that has a huge impact on all mankind. Technology, even if I don’t earn a penny, I’ll be happy with it.”
After hearing what Zhou Xing said, Mr. Xu, the chief, and Mr. Wen were all speechless for a while.
yes! The Shining Star Group is as rich as any country. Zhou Xing, who controls the majority of the shares of the Shining Star Group, owns more than 20 times the wealth of the second richest man in the world. At this level, "interests" are really not valued. .
Since Zhou Xing is alive not for profit, he must be for fame. However, Zhou Xing's name is known all over the world. For him, being the inventor of controllable nuclear fusion is just the icing on the cake. There is no need for him to give up huge benefits. Make this request to them.
At this time, Mr. Xu and the others were a little confused.
Is it true that, as Zhou Xing said, he worked tirelessly on research just to promote the development of human technological civilization
Mr. Xu and others looked at Zhou Xing's young face with a hint of respect in their eyes. Probably only a genius scientist like Zhou Xing with great beliefs can create such brilliant achievements!
"Xiao Xing, we understand what you are thinking. Don't worry, as long as the time is right, we will definitely introduce this technology to the world." Mr. Xu looked at Zhou Xing and promised solemnly.
Zhou Xing smiled bitterly, "the right time", this sentence is very "watery".
"What kind of time is appropriate? Wait for the international political arena? Wait for the energy crisis to appear? Or wait for this 'confrontation' to end?" Zhou Xing broke the casserole and asked to the end.
"this… "
He never expected that Zhou Xing would be so difficult to deal with. For a moment, Mr. Xu really couldn't find an excuse to make excuses.
Once controllable nuclear fusion is launched, the huge petroleum industry chain, coal, natural gas, and other energy fields, and the related U.S. dollar monetary system will collapse. By then, the U.S. Federation, which owes the world more than 20 trillion U.S. dollars, will inevitably collapse. , at the same time, an economic crisis will inevitably break out in various oil-producing countries that rely on petroleum energy to maintain their livelihoods...
…
An economic tsunami affecting the whole world will be set off... and the prelude to the Third World War may break out.
Thinking of all the bad situations, Mr. Xu broke into a cold sweat and his hands and feet became cold.
"If the US Federation 'falls', it may be the right time." The leader looked at Zhou Xing deeply and continued.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but frown, feeling extremely bad.
Although the current situation of the United States Federation is not good, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It has been the world's hegemon for decades, and its "family wealth" is unimaginably rich.
It is an agricultural superpower with 4 billion acres of arable land. It is the only country in the world with an annual per capita grain output of more than 1 ton. It is the world's largest grain exporter. It has a vast land and sparsely populated areas, large plains and highly mechanized production. Agricultural products are so abundant that they can be supplied almost all over the world.
It is still irreplaceable in the global financial field, leading the world in movies, entertainment, fashion, etc., and the military industry has never declined; immigration policies, property rights protection, legal mechanisms, comprehensive dynamic competition mechanisms, etc. have attracted countless outstanding talents from all over the world.
It has a global currency settlement status, and its currency accounted for 70% of the global foreign exchange reserves during the period of subversion. Due to the invasion of alien species and the "confrontation" between China and the United States, this ratio dropped to about 55%. However, the global foreign exchange transaction volume reached 60%. Trade settlement also accounts for 57%, and the world still revolves around the monetary order established by the US federal government.
Most importantly, it has the most powerful military strength in the world, with an annual defense budget of more than 400 billion U.S. dollars. It has a complete military industry system that can produce almost any weapons and equipment from strategic to conventional, and has more than 200 military bases around the world. , large and small, control military locations and chokepoints around the world, and station a large number of troops in the heart of the world's major economic systems and energy output areas.
…
How many years and months will it take for it to "fall" on its own
The system task time limit is fifteen years, and now two-fifths of it has passed. There is no time to wait "slowly".
"Commanders, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union has lasted for more than forty years, and human society cannot afford to wait for such a long time." Zhou Xing looked at the crowd and shook his head.
Um
The leader and Mr. Xu looked at each other and looked at Zhou Xing coldly, not understanding what he meant by these words.
Zhou Xing sighed and explained: "First of all, with the application of nano-medical technology, cryogenic sleep chamber technology, robotics... and other advanced technologies, the earth can no longer support the expanding human population. Secondly, a large number of flying vehicles , photonic computers are widely promoted and used, the development of human society is accelerating, and energy consumption is increasing exponentially. If this outstanding problem cannot be solved in the next two or three years, more intense political conflicts will definitely break out, and then... "
"The most important thing is that there is not much time left for all mankind. The possibility of another invasion by the Dark Zerg is very high. Humanity must enter the interstellar era as soon as possible. If the pace is too slow, we are likely to face a very bad situation in the future. "Zhou Xing looked at Mr. Xu and the others solemnly, and finally concluded.
Possessed by the mysterious Great Scientist Auxiliary System, Zhou Xing has never been able to figure out the origin of this system to this day.
However, every time the system releases a task, it seems that there is a deep meaning in it, always forcing him to complete something.
In desperation, Zhou Xing had no choice but to guess the purpose of the system's task release. The main task this time was to leap forward civilization. The ultimate goal was to greatly improve human technological civilization. It should be prepared for something, so the only possibility was It's the Dark Zerg.
The existence of the Dark Zerg has always been a lingering shadow for Zhou Xing.
Because of the system mission - The Origin of Humanity, he discovered the Miracle Door under the secret base of the US Federation, and also discovered the existence of the Dark Zerg. After several twists and turns, he eliminated the Dark Zerg that invaded the earth.
Sometimes, Zhou Xing wonders if without this system mission, the United States would have done its own research and then recruited the Dark Zerg and mishandled it, leading to the annihilation of the human race.
Then, the system woke him up to eliminate this disaster in advance. So the big scientist's auxiliary system possessed him in order to save all mankind
…
Zhou Xing frowned and couldn't help but fell into deep thought, thinking about the origin of the system.
"Xiao Xing, Xiao Xing... what are you thinking about?" Mr. Xu reached out and grabbed Zhou Xing's shoulders, waking him up from his deep thoughts.
Zhou Xing woke up suddenly, looked at Mr. Xu and the others with an apologetic look, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Mr. Xu and the others looked at each other and smiled. They were not surprised. It is easy to understand that a genius scientist like Zhou Xing has such "quirks".
"Xiao Xing, I'm afraid you didn't hear what we just said. Let me reiterate." The chief looked at Zhou Xing and smiled, and continued: "We will carefully consider the issues you explained, and we still need to make specific decisions. We will study it in depth, but you can rest assured that we will actively strive for the opportunity to announce controllable nuclear fusion to the world."
"Understood, I can understand it!" Zhou Xing smiled and nodded helplessly.
No matter what, the system tasks must be completed. Even if the time is not right, you must find a way to make the "time" suitable.
