"Um."
Lin Zixiao nodded lightly, seeming a little aloof.
At the same time, she felt a little depressed.
What else can I do now? That guy has already said that his second personality is "cold", so I can't ruin his personality, right
I can only pretend to be cool.
Fortunately, before she met Lin Fan, she had always been aloof, so it wouldn't be difficult.
but…
It was different in the eyes of the Seventh Elder.
Lin Fan’s original words were not that his second personality was more aloof, but that his second personality had a bad temper!!!
So, seeing Lin Zixiao being so aloof, the Seventh Elder immediately started to have doubts.
"So, should I reject him? What if he suddenly loses his temper?"
"And this is where they're testing artificial suns. If they really get angry, oh my god..."
The corner of Seventh Elder's mouth twitched.
But at this point, we have already arrived at the place and met each other. We can't just say no and send the person back, right
If this were true, wouldn't the already bad-tempered 'second personality' have lost its temper on the spot
He could only ask cautiously and carefully: "Mr. Lin, how much do you know about our artificial sun?"
"… "
Lin Zixiao's scalp tingled.
How would I know about an artificial sun?!
Didn't I just hear you talk about it before and then I just checked it out? But that stuff is just the tip of the iceberg...
She became even more 'cold': "I've only heard of the name, but I don't know the details."
"Then..." The Seventh Elder tried to probe: "Shall I ask the researcher in charge of this matter to explain it to you?"
"Okay!" Lin Zixiao immediately nodded in approval.
explain
It’s good to explain, the only thing I’m afraid of is not explaining!
…
Under the leadership of the Seventh Elder, the two passed through numerous checkpoints and entered the laboratory.
Among them, hundreds of researchers are distributed all over the country, doing various calculations, discussions and research.
When they noticed the two people coming, an old man immediately came over and said, "Seventh Elder, I am Mo Dangzhen, the head of this institute. I will accompany you and explain the tour throughout the rest of the tour."
“…???”
The Seventh Elder raised his eyebrows: "What's your name?"
"Mo Dangzhen."
Seventh Elder: “…”
Lin Zixiao: “…”
I want to laugh!!!
No, you have to be cool and hold it in...
"Okay." The Seventh Elder was also feeling uncomfortable, but he couldn't laugh at someone's name, right? That was too rude.
He changed the subject: "Academician Mo, our arrival today and the identity of the person next to me are highly confidential and must not be leaked. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Qi! We will never leak any secrets!"
Mo Dangzhen nodded immediately and was very confident.
They are all doing research, and are responsible for top-secret research such as the artificial sun. Those who don't keep their mouths shut cannot come at all.
However, while speaking, Mo Dangzhen couldn't help but look at Lin Fan twice, and then he was secretly shocked.
No one is a fool.
A young man who could be accompanied by the Seventh Elder in person, and who also seemed familiar to him... Apart from the immortal cultivator that people were paying the most attention to right now, who else could it be
"plz follow me… "
He invited the two of them inside, and then slowly explained the operating principles of the artificial sun they were studying.
“The main reason for designing and researching artificial suns is to obtain clean and efficient energy!”
"Our institute houses a 400-ton fourth-generation superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device, referred to as EAST. This giant device can continuously fuse hydrogen atoms into helium atoms, thereby generating temperatures and heat several times that of the sun."
"If we can make it work continuously, humans will enter an era where they don't have to worry about energy!"
Speaking of this, Mo Dangzhen looked somewhat proud: "In this regard, we are currently at the forefront of the world, no doubt about it!"
"Two years ago, our domestically produced EAST was able to operate stably for up to 101.2 seconds and maintain a plasma discharge of 50 million degrees Celsius! You must know that the temperature of the core of the sun is only about 15 million degrees Celsius!"
"This is a very significant breakthrough, but unfortunately, there is still a long way to go before it can be put into practical use. At present, our research goal is to increase the stable operating time tenfold in the shortest possible time!"
"According to calculations, the operating temperature will soar to 100 million degrees Celsius by then!"
"If we can succeed, it will be an epic change for all of human society."
"We plan to complete this step within five years, and then work hard to increase the stable operation time by a hundred times, and then to achieve long-term stable operation!"
"At that point, our research on the artificial sun will be truly successful."
Mo Dangzhen felt a little emotional when he said this.
"But this step is difficult, really difficult."
"Our experimental site is just ahead, please follow me..."
Just as we arrived at the experimental site, Mo Dangzhen also gave a general explanation of the development and prospects of the artificial sun, as well as future plans.
Specific details, various parameters, ratios?
He didn't say these things.
If people don’t understand what I say, isn’t that a waste of time
Not long after, Lin Zixiao and the Seventh Elder saw the artificial sun in the 'cooling' state, which did not look that shocking.
“It costs about $20,000 to start it up once.”
At this time, Mo Dangzhen asked, "Seventh Elder, and this gentleman, do you need to start it?"
He didn't know why the Seventh Elder and this mysterious and powerful cultivator came here, but if he didn't know, couldn't he just guess
What if... this immortal cultivator wants to help
If we analyze the artificial sun with the methods and perspective of an immortal, what kind of results or help will we get? !
Is it possible to skip the long trial phase and directly enter the stable operation, controllable and commercial stage? !
If so...
Just thinking about it made Mo Dangzhen extremely excited.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
The Seventh Elder looked at Lin Zixiao.
He knew about the existence of the artificial sun, and he also knew that if this thing was successful, it would be extremely powerful!
Just imagine how much energy would be generated if the temperature is 100 million degrees and it keeps running? If it is converted into electricity…
Even a hundred nuclear power plants can’t compare to this!
However, it is only limited to understanding. The Seventh Elder's understanding of the artificial sun is very superficial. Moreover, he is not a researcher, so he can't explain any reason. He can only see what Lin Zixiao wants to do.
"Fifty million degrees Celsius..."
Lin Zixiao was a little curious.
What kind of temperature is that
"start up!"
Therefore, she asked him to start it and show it to her without hesitation.
"good!"
"Please wait a moment, both of you. This is a safe area. I will arrange for it to be activated immediately."
…
Less than two minutes later.
Mo Dangzhen returned with a walkie-talkie in his hand: "Start!"
Buzz…
boom!!!
A slight vibration was felt.
At this moment, Lin Zixiao sensed an inexplicable fluctuation that made her feel somewhat familiar: "Is this... a magnetic field?"
"It feels somewhat similar to the magnetic field that Old Chen set up..."
Then, before Lin Zixiao could think more, everything he saw turned red. Even though they were "outside the furnace", they could imagine how terrifying the temperature was.
And this is just the beginning!
Soon, the red dot grew larger and brighter. In less than three minutes, it was like a miniature sun, shining right before our eyes!!!
And it's still getting brighter...
"sharp!"
The Seventh Elder could not help but exclaim: "It is hard to imagine how high the temperature is in the center right now..."
"It's close to 60 million degrees Celsius." Mo Dangzhen responded.
"Is it higher than the data you mentioned?"
"The data of 102 seconds is the result of two years ago. Two years later, we have doubled this number, so the maximum temperature is also increasing, but..."
He shook his head helplessly: "The goal of increasing tenfold in five years is still a long way off. We have already encountered a bottleneck. If we don't break through, it will be difficult to make further progress."
During the conversation, the 'sun' in front of them suddenly began to tremble. Mo Dangzhen remained calm and said, "It has reached its limit."
Then, he immediately contacted his colleague through the intercom: "Shut down!"
boom…
The machines gradually stopped working, and the extremely shining sun also gradually faded.
At this moment, Lin Zixiao's eyes lit up. He was extremely shocked, and at the same time... he was also very happy.
Just watch
This is not in line with Saint Qi's style.
Therefore, she even sent a ray of spiritual consciousness into the "furnace" just now, trying to contact the artificial sun, to find out what the high temperature of more than 50 million degrees is like.
As a result, she discovered that this was an extremely terrifying temperature.
In theory, spiritual consciousness has no entity, it is just a kind of energy.
But even so, the ray of spiritual consciousness she had just probed into was instantly burned by the terrifying high temperature as soon as it came into contact!
"This feeling..."
But within that unknown fraction of a second, she came to a 'conclusion'!
"Even if I were here, I would not be able to escape if I were exposed to such high temperatures!"
"And what if it reaches 100 million degrees?"
"I'm afraid that the many powerful beings in the Xiantai Realm will be difficult to resist, right?"
Can immortals survive above the sun
Even in many legends, such as Jinwu, it was born on the sun. Is the sun its hometown
But don't forget that they are originally fire-attributed 'divine beasts', or they can rely on their terrifying strength to withstand high temperatures.
but…
The temperature of this artificial sun is several times higher than that of the sun's core!
How many people can withstand this terrifying temperature? !
Of course, the prerequisite is that you can hit someone with this temperature!
The cultivators were very fast, and the artificial sun could not move at all, so how could it hit anyone? So there was no threat.
But...am I not a cultivator? !
"If I can combine the idea of artificial sun and create a method, then this method must be an 'invincible method'! There will be few rivals!"
