Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

The breakthrough results of the first experimental operation of the Changye Reactor,

The violent repercussions brought about, and in the end, the Posa Kingdom, who was acting as a pawn, got a slap in the face and temporarily calmed down.

Although the United States regained its fierce rhetoric, in fact, like in previous generations, it ended up losing the courage to take further action.

And for most people,

The significance of the first experimental operation of the Changye reactor with a Q value greater than one is, in addition to its historical significance and scientific research value,

The biggest impact is that energy prices have dropped somewhat in a short period of time due to expected changes in controllable nuclear fusion technology.

And the public is much more optimistic about the complete realization and popularization of controllable nuclear fusion.

Just like what most people support, we used to just want to use controlled nuclear fusion as an energy source, but now, we know that it can be achieved.

Most people have a lot of expectations for the world after the realization of controllable nuclear fusion.

For China as a whole,

The results of the first experimental operation of the Changye Pile, and this result served as the fuse, triggering a series of events that followed.

In addition to taking advantage of the period when energy prices plummeted, they silently acquired a large amount of needed energy supplies.

It also means that the situation of the entire world has undergone fundamental changes.

A certain American state lost the courage to take further action one or two years earlier than Mo Dao's previous lives.

Except for the country of Whispering, which had just been slapped, the other "neighbors" of China, who had been silent before, began to make some statements towards China.

The subsequent development of things, except for Changyedui itself, was basically not much different from Mo Dao's previous lives.

In the end, China signed long-term purchase orders with multiple oil exporting countries and energy exporting countries at a price that was pretty good for both parties.

At the subsequent press conference, both parties expressed their pleasure in the cooperation between the two parties and hoped that the friendship between the two parties would continue and increase.

The whole world basically fell silent temporarily under this situation.

but,

On the Internet and in reality, the discussion about the results achieved by the Changye Reactor lasted much longer than any previous controllable nuclear fusion research.

After all, the meanings are worlds apart.

Regarding the research on controllable nuclear fusion, the results achieved by the long night reactor, and the discussion on what changes controllable nuclear fusion will bring in the future,

It has been going on for several months at home and abroad, and there are still people who are always adding fuel to the fire to this matter.

From Europe to America.

Any country that can get a foot in the research on controllable nuclear fusion will

They were all stimulated by the results of the long night,

Choosing to place an unprecedented heavy investment in the research of controllable nuclear fusion.

It has successively announced to the outside world that it will donate to its own country’s controllable nuclear fusion research institute.

A staggering amount of money was invested.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as Changyedui setting off a round of technological competition around the world.

The words of the person in charge of the controlled nuclear fusion project in the United States:

It has been recognized by quite a few parties outside of China.

Basically everyone believes that once the Q value breaks through, to realize the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion, all it takes is to ‘go to the candy store next door and pick up candies’.

Naturally, they couldn't just watch Hua Guo pick up that delicious 'candy' alone.

Moreover, China has proven that the Q value can exceed one.

Then they only need to increase their investment. At worst, if they try all the roads, they will definitely be able to break through the Q value of one.

…

The noise from the outside world has basically no impact on the Changyedui project team.

Except for the initial Hua Xin News Agency, the subsequent Changyedui project did not receive interviews or reports from other media.

After the initial excitement and excitement, a group of researchers

He quickly recovered his emotions and resumed his daily research work, preparing for the next experiment.

January 27, before the Spring Festival.

Higher up the Huaguo Academy of Sciences, there is a leader in charge of scientific and technological development.

Officially visited the Changyedui project team.

In fact, during the construction of the Changye Reactor, this leader came to express his concern for the Changye Reactor project and the researchers on the project.

At this moment, Changyedui has achieved such a breakthrough result,

Formal congratulations are also deserved.

During the process, there were naturally some other exchanges.

"Chief Designer Mo, the results you have achieved are really exciting."

In the conference room, Mo Dao communicated alone with the visiting old gentleman.

After Academician Zhang retired, Mo Dao's position in Changyedui was the general person in charge and the chief designer of Changyedui.

The old man looked at Mo Dao and said with sincere emotion.

“I am here to once again congratulate you on your results and express my sincere gratitude to Chief Designer Mo and all the designers and builders of the Changye Pile for their great contribution.”

"Especially to you, Chief Designer Mo, I need to say thank you."

"Thank you for your appreciation. This is an achievement achieved through the joint efforts of all Changyedui researchers."

"A carriage pulled by three horses also needs a leader. Chief Designer Mo has no need to be humble."

After a few brief greetings,

The exchanges between the two parties gradually got to the point.

"Chief Designer Mo, we don't know much about research issues. I would like to consult you as an expert on some questions. I hope you won't be offended if I am presumptuous."

"Excuse me."

"We would like to know how long do you think it will take for controllable nuclear fusion to be achieved and the construction of commercial reactors."

After a pause, the old leader asked Mo Dao in a serious tone,

After the Q value of the Changye pile was broken, Mo Dao, the chief designer of the Changye pile,

is undoubtedly the top expert in the field of controlled nuclear fusion research,

not only in China, but also abroad.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the question was not accurate enough,

the old leader also added,

"With sufficient investment, how long do you think it will take?"

This sentence is also a statement to some extent.

What is enough and how much is enough.

It is basically equivalent to saying that in the matter of continuing to study controlled nuclear fusion, we will give you whatever you want and as much as you want.

With such enthusiasm for controlled nuclear fusion reactors both inside and outside,

it is impossible to say that there is no expectation from above.

It is impossible not to know what it means to realize the commercialization of controlled nuclear fusion.

Mo Dao looked at the old man in front of him who was waiting for his answer, paused for a while, and shook his head,

"I don't know."

This answer was obviously beyond the expectations of the leader who asked the question.

The old leader was stunned for a moment.

Since he asked this question, he naturally wanted to know a time.

The answer of not knowing is really...

"Maybe five years, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, or even longer. How long it will take, maybe we will know it only when it is completely realized."

The old leader understood what Mo Dao meant,

"Do you think we are still far away from the realization of controlled nuclear fusion?"

"Yes."

"The previous technical route that allowed the Q value to break through one, can't the Q value continue to be improved to the requirements of commercial reactors?"

The old leader obviously learned some information in advance.

This is probably the biggest misunderstanding of other people outside the Changye pile project researchers themselves.

"Going to one is one way, and going from one to commercial piles requires hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, and we need to find another way."

"It's not that the road to the Changye pile to break through the Q value of one is completely impossible, but it just takes time and luck."

The old leader listened to Mo Dao's answer and probably understood it. He nodded and thought.
