Fabricating The World: Creating A Three-Body Invasion At The Beginning

Chapter 22: The Storm Caused By Controllable Nuclear Fusion

In 1950 AD, Fermi, the famous nuclear physicist from the White Eagle State, accidentally mentioned a question while chatting with his colleagues.

"If there are really aliens in the universe, where are they?"

This is the famous [Fermi Paradox] in later generations!

In the seventy years since the Fermi Paradox was proposed, countless scholars, writers and even ordinary people have proposed countless explanations for this paradox.

The [Rare Earth Hypothesis], [Zoo Hypothesis], and [Brain in a Vat Hypothesis] have appeared one after another.

Among them, a hypothesis called "The Great Filter" has been recognized by quite a few people.

The Great Filter Hypothesis believes that there are countless filters in the process of civilization development.

For example, the evolution from prokaryotes to eukaryotes is a kind of filter, and the evolution from single-cell organisms to multi-cell organisms is a layer of filter. Every time a filter is crossed, civilization will begin to develop rapidly!

In today's era, the filter that restricts human beings from entering space is the technology that countless people dream of - controllable nuclear fusion!

This technology was once regarded by the scientific community as the core technology for whether humans can have a future!

If controllable nuclear fusion technology cannot be mastered, human interstellar spacecraft will always be subject to the limits of chemical fuel engines!

This means that human beings will be completely locked within the solar system and eventually become an isolated island in the vast universe!

But now, this technology appears so easily in front of countless academicians of the Aurora Academy of Sciences!

"Is that so?! I didn't expect that in the battle between the two paths of controllable nuclear fusion, it was the stellarator that had the last laugh!"

"I thought that the tokamak device would only need to overcome material difficulties to be successful. It seems that the technical level required to manufacture such a suitable temperature-resistant material is beyond our imagination!"

This group of experts and professors who have made outstanding contributions to nuclear science in China and even all mankind are excitedly looking at the controllable nuclear fusion technology sent by Luo Ji.

"In other words, the drawings of this controllable nuclear fusion technology are real and feasible, right?!" The person who asked the question was Zhang Beihai.

Even with his calm personality, he couldn't help but get excited when the words "controllable nuclear fusion" were mentioned.

"It's not just that!" A gray-haired professor said excitedly, "It also contains information about the refrigerant-free engine!!"

After hearing these words, Zhang Beihai really couldn't calm down anymore.

"Mr. Yang, can you explain in detail?" he asked immediately.

"You should know that even today's most advanced tokamak device still works by converting fusion energy into thermal energy and then into mechanical energy or electrical energy!"

“This is also one of the reasons why tokamak devices have extremely high temperature resistance requirements for materials!”

"But the stellarator is different. Its essence is to imitate the operating principles of stars and use strong electromagnetic fields to constrain the operation of the plasma. This means that the stellarator can directly convert nuclear energy into electrical energy!"?

Hearing this, Zhang Beihai, who also knew a little bit about this aspect, immediately reacted.

"The stellarator can be directly used to drive electromagnetic radiation?!"

If this conclusion is true, it has almost pronounced the death of the traditional chemical engine!

After all, even the most efficient chemical engine cannot possibly match the power generated by nuclear fusion!

"Even if it still uses the working fluid engine mode, a starship powered by controllable nuclear fusion can easily reach one percent of the speed of light!"

"Of course, the premise of all this is that our chemical industry level can produce new materials suitable for space navigation!"

As he said this, the excited old professor suddenly looked at Zhang Beihai.

"Where did you get such mature controllable nuclear fusion technology?"

Zhang Beihai's expression moved slightly, and he was thinking about whether he should tell the other party the truth.

Just as he was hesitating, an old man's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"This was given to us by Dr. Luo Ji."

The speaker is the one who often appears in the news.

Seeing his face, everyone in the Academy of Sciences couldn't help but become a little cautious.

"We cannot block information on a major event like controllable nuclear fusion," the old man said.

This is indeed the case. Even if you just copy the controllable nuclear fusion technology according to the drawings, the funds and huge amount of work required are by no means a small amount!

It is impossible to keep this level of personnel movement and power consumption completely confidential.

What's more, after a week of debate, the top leaders of Sinian have decided to officially announce the Trisolaran civilization in the next few days!

When the government officially recognizes the existence of Trisolaran civilization, it will inevitably cause shock in the whole society.

At this time, controllable nuclear fusion technology can serve as a shot in the arm to stabilize the turbulent public sentiment!

"I see."

Zhang Beihai immediately realized the reason why the senior management did this.

"Of course, we will also publish relevant information about the Secret Service, including Dr. Luo Ji's outstanding contributions to controllable nuclear fusion."

Zhang Beihai's heart moved when he heard this.

It seems that the higher-ups are building prestige for Luo Ji? Is it because of his status as a Wallfacer?

No, it's more than that! Perhaps the main reason is because of the symbolic meaning of this controllable nuclear fusion technology!

In just a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Beihai's mind.

But he remained calm on the surface, just nodded and replied: "I understand."

Although Zhang Beihai's expression can deceive most people, he is still a little too immature in front of this old man who has been in officialdom for many years.

However, the old man didn't say much.

Although he appears to be the supreme person in Cathay, the game among the top leaders is not that simple.

There are various interest groups within Cathay alone, and quite a few of them are quite dissatisfied with the power held by Luo Ji!

Now this seemingly peaceful situation is all he can do!

Luo Ji himself is naturally aware of this.

He has a sense of belonging to the country at his feet, but this does not mean that he will give in to those with evil intentions!

Those interests that are huge in the eyes of ordinary people are nothing to Luo Ji.

Just as the emergence of this controllable nuclear fusion technology is enough to cause the collapse of power companies around the world, the changes that are about to happen are enough to reshuffle the world!
