Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

"All I can say is that I will continue to do research in this area in the future."

Mo Dao spoke again calmly.

The old leader in front of him nodded again after hearing this.

"I see."

The old leader looked at Mo Dao again and paused.

"Chief Designer Mo, we will continue to invest enough funds in Changyedui every year. We hope to be able to provide some assistance to your research work in other aspects besides the research itself."

"If you have any needs in this regard, you can put them forward as soon as possible."

The old leader solemnly promised Mo Dao.

Although Mo Dao’s answer to the question he is most concerned about is not very optimistic.

But it’s impossible to really give up research investment in this area.

It is even less possible to give up support for Mo Dao and the entire Changyedui research team.

At present, China still occupies an absolutely dominant position in the research of controllable nuclear fusion.

It is impossible for other countries to catch up behind us and give up our advantages.

Even if Mo Dao believes that the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion is still far away, we still need to support what should be supported.

China has always been in short supply of vision.

"The research in this area is still focused on you. Chief Designer Mo, you said it will take a long time, so we can wait slowly. We still have some patience."

The old leader said again with great courage.

"Thank you for your motherland's support."

Mo Dao nodded and responded.

Although funds have never been a big problem for Mo Dao,

However, there is a more direct and simpler source of funds, which saves Mo Dao trouble.

"Whether it's for Changyedui's past achievements or what it's doing now. This support is deserved."

The old leader smiled again and said something.

Afterwards, after a few more pleasantries,

The old leader mentioned Mo Dao's safety issue again.

After here, or at this moment, there are already people arranged by the above,

Focus on the safety issues of Modao.

Although the act of assassination sounds like a fairly old and traditional method,

But even today, in this world, this method has never ended.

After the results achieved in Changyedui were announced,

It is impossible to say that some countries have no thoughts about Mo Dao, the person in charge of Changyedui.

Especially in Changyedui, a historic breakthrough was achieved.

But there is still some time before commercial heaps are truly realized.

Killing Mo Dao, the person in charge of the Changyedui and a key figure, seems to be a very cost-effective choice.

This situation is not unfamiliar to Mo Dao.

In his life as the spiritual leader of the Kerna youth,

Especially at the beginning of Kerner's youth rise, there were probably more people who wanted him dead than now.

now,

The old leader just took this opportunity to briefly mention this matter.

I hope Mo Dao doesn't mind this protection.

Mo Dao just responded without saying anything.

Mo Dao is not used to this.

There is no need to cause any trouble to the security personnel.

And after talking about all the serious things,

The two chatted for a few more words, talking,

At the end, the topic came back again.

"Chief Designer Mo, although you said before, the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion may still be a long way off."

"But you are now the scholar who has traveled the farthest on this path. How many years do you think it will take?"

"Well...this is just my personal curiosity. Chief Designer Mo can treat it as a simple private chat."

The old leader spoke with some curiosity on his face.

Mo Dao looked at the old leader in front of him, thought for a moment, and gave an answer that was not an answer.

"Not long before you came here, we conducted another long-night pile operation experiment. Although the media did not report it, the results were still there."

"How did it turn out?"

"Continuous running time 1500, Q value 1.12."

Mo Dao named a number that was exactly the same as the first run of the Long Night Heap.

The old leader listened, nodded, thoughtfully, and did not ask any more questions.

…

Time continues to pass.

Soon, the Spring Festival of 2027 passed and it officially entered 27 years.

In 2027, the whole year, the outside world seemed quite lively.

After huge investments were made, other countries’ research on controllable nuclear fusion

There was indeed a lot of feedback.

March 27th.

After an experiment, an American country announced that its national controllable nuclear fusion research project had achieved a breakthrough.

The Q value exceeded 0.85 for the first time.

Next, April.

Over in Europe, the European controlled nuclear fusion project jointly invested by many European countries,

It was also announced that the continuous steady-state operation time exceeds one thousand seconds, and the Q value exceeds that of the United States, reaching a score of 0.89.

a whole year,

From Europe to America,

All countries and parties that can get involved seem to be chasing after each other in the research of controllable nuclear fusion.

This month you improved by 0.1, and next month, I will catch up and surpass it by 0.2.

The lively scene looks like a picture of controllable nuclear fusion that is about to be put into commercial use.

The people who are paying attention to this news have had enough of the excitement.

But, from Europe to America,

Every time there is a breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion, there is no mention of the results of the previous long night reactor.

It's like the results of a long night's pile have never appeared.

However, as various parties conduct research on controllable nuclear fusion, the Q value has broken through to 0.9.

By the end of that year, the external voices of various controllable nuclear fusion research projects in Europe, America, and Europe were gradually quieting down.

Even ordinary people who follow this news,

They all gradually realized that the research projects of these parties had reached a stalemate.

It is stuck at the position of Q value 0.9, and has been unable to achieve the breakthrough result of one that Chang Ye Dui was able to achieve before.

Obviously, it is not that easy to achieve this.

The long night piles up here,

Although it is extremely lively outside with you chasing me,

But it did not interfere with Chang Yedui's research.

The entire Changyedui project team has never forgotten the purpose of constructing Changyedui.

Although I handed in a fairly satisfactory answer sheet,

But the Long Night Pile was not built to generate electricity, nor was it built to make its Q value greater than one.

It's about collecting data.

Mo Dao needs more data to make a breakthrough in the plasma model.

This is the core purpose of the construction of Changyedui.

…

also,

In the year 2027, something else happened.

Professor Hong passed away.

Professor Hong, who was still holding on for a breath before the Long Night Pile was completed,

After witnessing the first operational experiment of Changyedui, I felt relieved.

The course of the disease soon entered the terminal stage after Chang Ye Dui's first experiment ended.

Mo Dao took the time to visit Professor Hong before he passed away.

"Mo Dao, I should wait until the day when controllable nuclear fusion is completely realized before leaving. But I can't hold on anymore."

"That's enough now."

"What you told me at the beginning was that there would be a result in the research on controllable nuclear fusion, and now I have seen it."

"At least I know that controllable nuclear fusion will definitely be realized one day in the future."

As if he was afraid that Mo Dao would miss his original promise, Professor Hong said this specifically when meeting Mo Dao.

After this passage,

The ward fell silent.

Professor Hong, who has reached the final stage of his life, looked at Mo Dao and said,

He has a lot to say.

He can say that he hopes that Mo Dao will be able to completely realize controllable nuclear fusion one day, and hopes that Mo Dao will continue his research.

He can say that he has placed his greatest expectations on Mo Dao in the research of controllable nuclear fusion.

He could say that he hoped that one day when controllable nuclear fusion would be realized, Mo Dao would be able to go to his grave and tell him.

But he didn't say any of this in the end.

Because he is not only a scholar who has studied controllable nuclear fusion all his life,

Still Mo Dao’s teacher,

In the end, he just said to Mo Dao,

"Okay, you go back and work hard."

And about an hour after Mo Dao left,

Professor Hong passed away.
