(PS: In case some students have not noticed, I will remind you again that because of the fierce censorship, the titles of "Gentleman" and "Vice Minister" have been uniformly changed to "Deputy Minister"... Just know it, thank you.)
"I see!"
Just as Lin Zixiao was communicating with Old Chen, Zhou Xiaoran suddenly spoke with excitement, which surprised both of them.
"What do you understand?"
"Who is so bored as to invent this kind of formation?"
"ah?"
Zhou Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "No, I understand how this formation should be arranged to isolate the heat radiation of the artificial sun."
"Also, we can try to modify it so that this formation can adjust the amount of heat radiation it can block..."
“You!”
Old Chen was surprised: "If this effect can really be achieved, wouldn't the artificial sun be usable directly?"
In fact, if it can only block thermal radiation, then some research is needed to gradually convert it into electricity.
But if the size can be adjusted according to needs... then what's the point of studying it
You can start production right away!
How to convert the heat radiation of artificial sun into electrical energy? Isn't it simple? Humans already have relevant technologies, such as solar power generation...
Isn't this a related technology that converts electromagnetic waves, thermal radiation, etc. into electrical energy
“Model first!”
Old Chen said sternly, "Your words are not enough. If we want the research institute to believe us and make them willing to try, we need to at least come up with a qualified model."
"I'll try."
Zhou Xiaoran nodded, then opened the modeling software and began to operate it skillfully.
"When did you learn to use a computer?"
This scene surprised Lin Zixiao a little.
Zhou Xiaoran actually had a "blank period" of more than 20 years, and these 20 years were the period of super-fast development of mobile phones and computers.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to use these modern computer software...
"I saw Teacher Chen use it a few days ago."
Old Chen: “…”
"Look, I used ..."
The corners of his mouth twitched continuously.
You just watched me use it? You are more skilled than me!
…
An hour later, in the research institute, Mo Dangzhen received the relevant solution from Lin Zixiao.
After opening it, the densely packed modeling drawings and detailed descriptions made his head hurt.
But the more this happened, the more excited he became.
"It's too complicated, but... the formation that the immortal cultivators talked about? Can it be arranged using electromagnetic fields?"
"It can even be activated by absorbing the thermal radiation released by the artificial sun, and then the 'power' can be adjusted?"
"Amazing, it's really amazing..."
After mumbling for a while, he immediately took out the intercom and spoke quickly: "Attention everyone, I am Mo Dangzhen!"
"Next, we will start a new study. All relevant personnel should put down their manual work immediately and come to the conference room!"
"Materials Department, classify all the materials we have and get specific data. I'll need it later!"
"in addition… "
A lot of arrangements.
Now that we have obtained the solution from the immortal cultivator, although we don’t know whether the solution is feasible, it is inevitable to give it a try.
There’s no big deal in trying it anyway. Even if it doesn’t work, at most it’s just a waste of some energy and time!
What's more, the solution of the immortal cultivators is also to use electromagnetic fields, but they just arranged the magnetic field in an array, which makes it appear more advanced.
Regardless of whether it is high-end or not, at least they have a lot of materials related to setting up electromagnetic fields, so they can start researching right away...
…
After more than ten minutes, the meeting ended!
Mo Dangzhen took the lead, and a group of researchers came out in a hurry, and then they all started to work in their respective areas.
By the evening, one 'small formation' after another had been set up.
Mo Dangzhen looked serious...
"According to the information given by that person, these small formations, as long as they are placed in the right place, will become the foundation of a large formation..."
"Once the small formation is linked with the large formation, we can try to activate the artificial sun."
"Now, there's only one last step left!"
Eight o'clock in the evening!
We have been busy until now and no one has had a chance to eat. At most, we just drank some water to keep ourselves mentally alert.
And now, it’s finally done!
"Academician Mo, it's a success!"
When someone came to report, Mo Dangzhen took a deep breath and said, "Check it again and make sure everything is foolproof."
A few minutes later.
"Academician Mo, the investigation is complete and no abnormalities were found."
"Then... activate the artificial sun!!!"
boom!
The device started up, and with their familiarity with the device, they could tell which step the device had reached just by listening to the sound.
but…
No light!
Originally, it was actually possible to see the fiery red existence, which looked like a small sun.
But at this moment, no light could be seen at all, as if nothing had happened except the sound.
If the device had not been vibrating and making continuous sounds, they would have thought that the device had not been activated at all.
Mo Dangzhen clenched his fists, his face looking extremely solemn.
Time passes by every second.
Still no light came out, however...
Their instruments could clearly detect that the nuclear fusion reaction was continuing and becoming more terrifying!
Ten minutes!!!
…
Thirty minutes!
Mo Dangzhen couldn't help but wave his fist and cheered silently: "It's done!!!"
"Now, reduce the power of the formation so that it doesn't swallow up all the light..."
“Good academician!”
After the relevant personnel operated it, the light of the artificial sun appeared before people's eyes again...
“Success!!!”
cheer!
All the project leaders couldn't help but cheer at this moment, and many even shed tears.
“Woo woo woo!”
"I thought we might never succeed in this lifetime, but now... the temperature has exceeded 100 million degrees!"
“It’s too difficult, too difficult!”
"Our energy has entered a new stage!"
"Immortal cultivator... Is this an immortal cultivator? It only takes a few days to solve a problem that has troubled countless scientists and experts around the world?!"
"Anyway, we succeeded!!!"
Excited…
To them, this project is their baby, everything they have worked hard to accomplish for many years.
Now that I’m successful, who can not be happy
Mo Dangzhen was the quietest one at the moment. He stood there without saying a word.
But at this moment, he was also the most excited one in his heart...
"It worked. It actually worked!"
"From about 200 seconds to 30 minutes, and it looks like it can keep going forever. This basically confirms that our artificial sun can operate stably and for a long time!"
"Immortal cultivator..."
"Is this the terror of an immortal cultivator?!"
In his excitement, he took out his communication equipment and sent messages to Lin Fan and the seven deputy ministers who had come earlier.
"The artificial sun has been running stably for more than 30 minutes, and the time is still increasing..."
He did not say whether it was completely successful.
Because no one can tell now, what if something goes wrong
But in Mo Dangzhen's own opinion, this time, it must be a sure thing!!!
"You guys go eat, I'll watch here."
Mo Dangzhen suddenly realized that after being busy for most of the day, no one had eaten yet. How could this go on
"You go ahead and I'll watch."
"Yes, Academician Mo, I'm young, let me do it, you go eat first."
"Don't let yourself get hungry."
“This is an order!!”
Mo Dangzhen sternly rebuked: "Everyone go eat. It won't be too late for you to come and take over after you are full!"
"And don't think that we will have an easy time next. After we have eaten, we must work overtime immediately to utilize as much energy from the artificial sun as possible and convert it into electricity!"
“Go now!!!”
After a round of scolding, all the researchers were driven to the cafeteria. Mo Dangzhen stood there, staring at the artificial sun that was weakened by the formation but still shining brightly, his eyes full of amazement...
For a long, long time.
Mo Dangzhen's expression gradually became solemn.
Then, he whispered to himself: "Then, it's time to let the ministers of the Ministry of Residents' Happiness and Life see the strength of us..."
"We will strive to successfully utilize the energy from the artificial sun safely within a week!"
…
Kyoto.
When the Seventh Deputy Minister saw the message from Mo Dangzhen, he was immediately shocked, and then...
The ministers were furious.
"Done?!"
"He's really something!"
"Immortal cultivators also understand science? And it's a science that even our scientists don't understand?"
"Good news! This is really good news!!"
Besides being amazed.
The second deputy minister's expression gradually became serious: "Everyone, please pay attention to this matter, and actively coordinate and allocate all parties!"
"To the outside world, we must delay as long as we can."
"But internally, we must speed up!"
"right."
The minister shook his head and said, "Lin Fan has already shown us his efficiency and speed, so now it's time to let him know that our partner is not just for show."
“Speaking of which, I’m looking forward to it.”
The seventh deputy minister smiled and said, "You say, when our Ministry of Residents' Happiness and Life is trying to accomplish something at any cost, how efficient... will it be?"
“I haven’t really tried it.”
The ministers all showed anticipation and curiosity.
"This time, let's give it a try~!"
“Well, give it a try!”
…
Greenhouse area.
Lin Zixiao also saw the response and couldn't help but smile: "They replied, it's feasible. It has been running stably for more than 30 minutes and is still going on."
"If the calculations in my head are correct..."
Zhou Xiaoran pondered, "With the relevant materials they are currently using, it won't be a problem for them to continue operating for ten years."
"ten years!"
Old Chen smacked his lips and said, "That's really exaggerated. The energy on Earth will no longer be a problem. We can even say that there is enough energy to start trying interstellar travel."
"But interstellar travel is not just about energy..."
He shook his head and said, "Anyway, the massive amount of electricity we need to set up the formation should be solved soon."
"That's good!"
Lin Zixiao smiled and said, "The most important thing is to solve this problem. By the way, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
She left the greenhouse area, returned to her residence, and began to study... nuclear fusion!
