From all-round academic master to chief scientist

White House, Office of the President.

While celebrations are taking place on the other side of the ocean, a day of work is getting underway here at the White House.

"Ah~" the president yawned and asked the secretary next to him: "Today seems to be the Chinese New Year? According to custom, do I have to send blessings to them?"

The secretary nodded and said, "Yes, that's the custom."

"Sigh." The president shook his head, "When I was a member of the House of Representatives, how would I have paid attention to this matter?"

The secretary said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it."

"Then go and prepare it for me. It's really unlucky to get it done early."

"OK."

The secretary nodded and was about to call to make arrangements, but at this moment, the office door suddenly opened.

Then they saw the newly appointed Secretary of State walking over with a computer.

"Mr. President, look!"

The new secretary of state had a panic look on his face, which immediately made the president frown.

"What happened? Are you so panicked?"

The Secretary of State pointed to the picture on the screen and said: "Look, it's very important!"

"Their Golden Crow plan... is going to be ignited!"

Golden Crow Plan!

The term struck a nerve with the president.

For so long, this term has appeared in his ears almost every day, making him feel like a demonic sound filling his ears, destroying him all the time.

But the problem is that he still has to accept the magic voice filling his ears, and he even asked for it, because he asked the intelligence department to keep an eye on the Golden Crow plan and report the news one day at a time.

As a result, now, he heard this word from the Secretary of State again, and it was 'ignition'!

After so long, he already knew what lighting a fire meant, so his face suddenly showed a sense of disbelief, even panic.

"What did you say? They're going to start a fire?"

"Yes! They even conducted a live broadcast of the ignition at their Spring Festival Gala!" The Secretary of State pointed at the laptop screen in his hand and said, "This is the show!"

When the president heard this, he quickly turned his attention to the laptop screen.

What happened to be displayed inside was the scene where Lin Xiao pressed the ignition button.

Seeing this scene, the president immediately felt dizzy, but he resisted not fainting, and then continued to look at the pictures inside, silently praying that something would go wrong.

He even closed his eyes, crossed himself on his chest, and said "Amen".

Then when he opened his eyes, hoping that what appeared on the screen was a scene of everyone panicking, or an instant explosion of fire, what he saw was an indication of ten million degrees.

Seeing this, he quickly closed his eyes and continued talking.

But clearly, God was not on his side now.

The indication still came to 100 million degrees.

Qi Yan's excited voice also sounded inside, but they couldn't understand it.

"Everyone in front of the TV, yes, you read it right. Now in this huge conch-like device, the temperature has reached a super high temperature of up to 100 million degrees. Sorry, I can only think of it now. The word 'super' is used to describe such a temperature."

"But all in all, this 100 million degrees is a temperature that is enough to dissolve all substances and evaporate them. Even ashes cannot be left. But at such a temperature, how can this device not be destroyed by these 100 million degrees? What about the ones that were burned out by the high temperature?”

"And this is the power of technology."

"Isn't it amazing?"

"But this is not our end!"

Qi Yan's voice was full of passion. It was obvious that she had made preparations before, and everyone who saw this scene was also excited.

Including the President in the White House.

He even fainted from excitement.

"Mr. President! Mr. President! Go get the medical team!"

…………

"good!"

"pretty!"

In the main control room of the Golden Crow Project Research Institute, there are many people standing here at this moment.

When everyone saw that the temperature display reached 100 million degrees so smoothly, they couldn't help but let out a cry of admiration.

In the middle of the crowd, Lin Xiao was also smiling, looking at the various data on the console.

All data have reached the expected level, including the wear and tear of the inner wall, and have also met his requirements for the conch-type device. Of course, even though it has just been ignited, it cannot be completely seen, but based on the current data, he has already The results can be predicted.

The internal plasma flow was also perfectly controlled by the magnetic field provided by the superconducting coil. Although there was an accident during the construction of the superconducting coil, under his efforts to turn the tide, the final effect was achieved. Although the goals in the plan may still be slightly different, this difference can basically be ignored.

He let out a sigh of relief, and now he was basically stable.

This sun lit by his own hands...

At the same time, there was an even more excited atmosphere around him.

The faces of Li Gang, Song Tao and others were full of excitement.

Qi Yan was still facing the camera and introducing this exciting moment.

And extending from the lens, you can see beyond the TV screens of thousands of households. Although it is still difficult for more people to imagine how the conch-shaped device can withstand such a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, but from the lens it can be seen that The joy shown by the researchers who came to the scene aroused the mood of these people and made them happy.

Of course, more people have also recalled what Qi Yan said before. Once this thing is successful, it will be of great significance to the country and enable them to achieve a greater rise. This makes them all I wonder in my heart, does this situation mean that they have begun to walk on this path of great rise?

In Lin Xiao's home in Jincheng City, Lin Guowen and Yang Rong had smiles on their faces. At this moment, they were both talking on the phone.

After all, Lin Xiao was attending the Spring Festival Gala this time, so any relatives who were watching the Spring Festival Gala would naturally call to congratulate her.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, it's all Xiaoxiao's own fault. Well, he will be back tomorrow. Okay, okay, we will have dinner together then. Okay, okay, hang up. See you next time."

Lin Guowen hung up the phone, then turned to look at Yang Rong. When he saw that she also hung up, he couldn't help but sigh: "Think about the past, but there have never been so many people so polite."

"It's not all about sons being great."

Yang Rong said.

Then they looked at the TV again. Seeing the exciting scene on the screen, Lin Guowen stood up immediately, "Is this a success?"

"It hasn't been said yet." Yang Rong looked at the scene on TV expectantly and said, "But... it should be almost successful."

"I heard what this reporter said before. As long as it succeeds, it will be of great significance to our country. I don't know how big it will be." Lin Guowen showed a curious expression, but then he shook his head and said: "Forget it. Yes, wait until this kid comes back tomorrow and let him tell me personally."

Yang Rong smiled and said, "You just want to boss me around. She is a great scientist."

"That's my son too!"

Lin Guowen snorted, and then looked at Lin Xiao, who was always in the middle of the TV. The pride in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

…

"Okay, let's regain our mood first, there are two more steps to take!"

At the scene, Lin Xiao calmed down his excitement, then turned to look at the people around him and the atmosphere, and couldn't help but smile.

After hearing his words, everyone present came back to their senses and laughed: "Now that we are here, can we still say that we have failed?"

"makes sense."

Lin Xiao smiled and then said into the intercom: "Continue to increase the fuel injection amount by 20%. Our temperature will soon reach 120 million degrees!"

"yes!"

The people in the fuel team responded immediately, and then began to increase the amount of fuel injection, and the fuel naturally referred to deuterium and tritium gas.

As the amount of fuel injected becomes larger, the reaction inside becomes more intense.

The temperature finally reached 120 million degrees from 100 million degrees.

By this time, the people present were looking forward to it again. They were looking forward to an order from Lin Xiao.

Just like that, after more than ten seconds passed, the order they were expecting from Lin Xiao was finally issued: "Heating group, stop heating!"

"OHHHH!"

As soon as this order was given, everyone in the audience cheered again.

The people in the heating team also responded happily: "Yes!"

According to the previous two ignition experiments on the Oriental Hyperring, when Lin Xiao issued this order, it meant that their reaction reached the conditions of Lawson's criterion. Now, the internal fusion reaction can be maintained spontaneously!

As for why this time only 120 million degrees is needed to reach the Lawson criterion, it is because Lin just requested to increase the fuel injection amount.

Lawson's criterion means that when the product of temperature, density of reactant ions, and reaction duration reaches a value, it means that the reaction can proceed spontaneously.

Although the current temperature is only 120 million degrees, the internal concentration of deuterium and tritium ions and the duration of the fusion reaction have reached the requirements, so the Lawson criterion has naturally been reached.

As for why it does not burn to 160 million degrees, it is the room for improvement left by Lin Xiao. As the electricity consumption in the future becomes higher and higher, the current power generation capacity of this fusion reactor will definitely not be enough, and at this time, it will The amount of electricity produced can be increased by increasing the fusion temperature.

So this is Lin Xiao's preparation for the future.

But for now, 120 million degrees is enough.

Reaching the Lawson criterion is exactly one of the "two steps to go" that Lin Xiao just said.

As for the next step, it is the last step.

Lin Xiao didn't hesitate at all. With everyone's expectations, he issued the final order: "Open the gate! Release the water! Start the turbine generator and the magnetic fluid generator, start them all!"

"yes!"

The response from the power generation unit also came over the intercom.

"The water has been released! The water flow inside the water pipe is rising!"

"The turbine generator is operational!"

"The magnetic fluid generator has also started!"

Hearing these responses, Lin Xiao immediately shouted: "Okay!"

He has seen the connected generators from the main control room.

With the installed capacity of all these generators reaching 85 million kilowatts, can they be fully utilized today?

"The power of the first magnetic fluid generator has reached 1,000 megawatts!"

"The power of the second magnetic fluid generator has reached 1,000 megawatts!"

"The third one... 1,000 megawatts!"

"The first set of turbine generators have all started rotating, and the internal water temperature has reached 700 degrees Celsius. The current total power generation of the first set has reached 100 megawatts! It is continuing to increase, and it is expected to reach full power of 1,000 in ten minutes. Megawatt!”

"The second set of turbine generators have all started rotating, and the power generation is increasing..."

As time passed, good news came frequently from the walkie-talkie.

When everyone heard the news, they fell into excitement again.

At this point, the verdict can be pronounced, they have succeeded!

Everyone in the audience began to celebrate this, and the older generation people like Li Gang and Song Tao were moved to tears. Especially for Li Gang, who was already over seventy years old, he had never thought about himself. He was actually able to see the fire of controllable nuclear fusion ignite in the land beneath his feet in his lifetime.

And for other slightly younger people, they are equally excited. After all, they can personally participate in this great cause, and with the ultimate success, they will be witnesses to the rise of the Republic!

As for reporter Qi Yan, she turned to the camera with excitement and said: "People all over the country in front of the TV! Please remember this moment forever! The sun we lit with our own hands seems to have been tamed at this moment. Generally, using its temperature, it brings us infinite energy!”

"In our myths and legends, there are Pangu who created the world, Nuwa who crossed the sky, Kuafu chasing the sun, the Golden Crow shooting the sun, Dayu controlling the floods, and Jingwei filling the sea. We have fought against the heaven and the earth, and against nature. Such a spirit of struggle , is our spiritual core.”

"And today, our nation has achieved the mythical feat of creating a sun on the surface of the earth, and can also use this sun for our use!"

"From today on, the sun will not only rise from the east, it will also stay here forever, on this land in the east!"

Qi Yan's passionate voice spread out, spread in the main control room, and at the same time, through the microphone, turned into an electromagnetic wave message, and then crossed out, spread in the Spring Festival Gala studio, and spread to thousands of households Among families watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Everyone was aroused by Qi Yan's words.

From today on, the sun will stay here forever!

Just in the east of the world!

…

"The total power generation has reached 75 million kilowatts."

In the main control room.

Amid everyone's cheers, Lin Xiao put his hands behind his back and did not join in the celebration. He stood in front of the main console and quietly looked at the total power generation displayed on the screen.

After the total power reached 75 million kilowatts, it did not continue to rise, but fluctuated up and down within plus or minus one million kilowatts.

Although Lin Xiao felt a little regretful about this, it was still expected.

Because of errors caused by various theoretical calculations and actual experiments, it is not surprising that the final power generation power cannot reach full capacity.

Of course, if he raises the temperature to 10 million degrees now, he will definitely be able to run full, but this is not necessary.

A power generation capacity of 75 million kilowatts is equivalent to generating 75 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, which is 1.8 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per day.

For today's Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic circle, if all the power plants in the past have not been eliminated, it is obviously impossible for this extra power generation to be fully consumed, so this part of the power generation will be transmitted through power transmission. Roads are carried to at least seven surrounding provinces.

In the next few years, the country will begin to shut down all thermal power plants in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and dismantle at least 90% of the thermal power plants, leaving the remaining thermal power plants for emergencies. , as a backup, for example, if a war breaks out, large-scale fusion power plants like this will definitely become the enemy's primary attack target. It will obviously be bad if the military base also has no power.

By then, the entire Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will be powered by this fusion reactor.

Of course, at least two more fusion reactors will definitely be built by then. After all, if one fusion reactor is responsible for all the power supply, it will obviously be bad if the fusion reactor fails and has to be shut down.

Three fusion reactors are the safest.

However, these are just things for later.

Up to now, all Lin Xiao's tasks have been completed.

The success of the Golden Crow Project also means that he probably won't need to stay here much longer.

"It's finally over."

Wei Wei sighed, and at this time, the voice of the system also sounded in his mind.

"Mastering the energy of stars is a test of a civilization's readiness to enter the universe."

"And now congratulations, host, you have led your civilization and successfully lit this torch. Your civilization has the qualifications to survive longer."

"Congratulations to the host, you have completed the series of controllable nuclear fusion technologies. All your performance in it is worthy of praise. This time, you will be rewarded with 40,000 mathematics experience points, 40,000 physics experience points, 20,000 materials science experience points, and 10,000 chemistry points. Experience, 700 truth points, [Energy Revealer Halo].”

"[Energy Revealer Halo]: When the host studies any energy-related project, it will receive a huge inspiration experience bonus, including research on new energy, energy utilization methods, and energy-related mathematics, Projects in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, informatics, etc.”

"Congratulations to the host, the math level has been improved to level 8 (26000/100000)!"

"Congratulations to the host, the physics level has been increased to level 8 (26000/100000)!"

"Congratulations to the host, the material science level has been increased to level 6 (19500/30000)!"

"Congratulations to the host, the chemical level has been increased to level 5 (6200/10000)!"

Lin Xiao was stunned by the sudden series of notifications from the system.

And when he heard the four upgrade prompts in succession, before he had time to be happy, he felt as if his head had been hit hard, and then there was a long-lost dizziness.

He covered his head and was speechless.

I originally thought that the dizziness I felt after upgrading would never happen to me, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't handle so many upgrades at once.

"System, how developed is my brain now?"

"The current host's brain development is 17.25%."

"Fuck."

Lin Xiao was immediately shocked.

Is this a direct increase of 3.3%?

And if you calculate it again, it is equivalent to mathematical physics rewarding him with a full 1% brain development after reaching the eighth level. He thought it was 0.9%.

"It's so cruel." He couldn't help complaining in his heart, but then he laughed again: "But it's very exciting."

Add 3.3% in one wave and make a lot of money, okay?

Controlled nuclear fusion is truly controllable nuclear fusion.

"There is also a reward called [Energy Revealer Halo]? It looks very powerful."

But all in all, the rewards this time have fully met expectations, as well as the reward of 700 truth points. At the beginning, he planned to spend the truth points to solve the problem of controllable nuclear fusion, but in the end he still relied on Solved it myself.

Of course, this is also the best. After all, if you don't solve it by yourself, the rewards will obviously not be so rich.

"However, it looks like I need to take a good rest."

Rubbing his still dizzy head, he sighed inwardly, then turned to look at the scene, then walked towards a chair, and finally sat on it.

And his actions also attracted the attention of others.

Of course, he was always the focus of everyone present.

So when people saw him sitting tiredly on the chair, they immediately gathered around him.

"Commander Lin!"

"What’s wrong with you?"

Li Gang and Song Tao both stopped celebrating and quickly stepped forward to ask.

Qi Yan on the side couldn't help being stunned when she saw this, and said to the camera: "It seems... there was an accident?"

The people in front of the TV were a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

When Lin Xiao saw so many people gathered around him, he couldn't help but smile and wave his hands, saying: "It's nothing, you should celebrate. Don't worry about me, I'm just a little tired."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were all afraid that something would go wrong with Lin Xiao.

"Indeed, it's time for you to take a good rest."

Li Gang said at this time.

Everyone else nodded.

They all saw Lin Xiao's fatigue during this period of time.

"I know, this Spring Festival, you must have a good rest, and the same goes for everyone."

"Of course! I will definitely have a good rest." Everyone present nodded.

At this time, Qi Yan also came in. When she learned the reason, she couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said into the microphone: "Everyone, our Chief Engineer Lin finally felt tired after completing the Golden Crow Project. "

"So, at this moment, please let us thank Chief Engineer Lin in our hearts for his efforts. It was him who personally made this sun light up."

"Then, at the end, let us ask Chief Engineer Lin to say a word to you."

Then she came to Lin Xiao and said, "Chief Engineer Lin, could you please say one more word to the people of the country?"

Lin Xiao raised his head. When he saw the camera facing him, he sat up straight, raised his chest and raised his head, and then said: "The Golden Crow Project was a complete success. Fortunately, it lived up to its mission and lived up to the expectations of the people across the country."

"From now on, we will ride on the sun and usher in new glory."

"This is the New Year's gift that our Golden Crow Plan gives to the people of the country. Happy New Year, everyone!"

At this moment, billions of degrees of brilliance are contained in the huge device behind him. Although it is difficult to leak any temperature inside, it is as hot as the snowy New Year's Eve.

Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.
