Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Chapter 392 A Brand New Era

"In addition, the completion of the twenty-year major construction does not mean that the subsequent development will stagnate. On the basis of the twenty-year major construction, we will have the second twenty years and the third twenty years... "

"In the field of aerospace, space, near-Earth platforms and lunar surface bases have made outstanding achievements, but they are still far from our ultimate aspirations."

“In the field of industrialized agriculture, three-dimensional farms, seawater desalination plants, and industrial protein and starch production plants have also achieved phased results, but there is still a certain gap between our expectations of completely breaking away from the expectation of relying on the sky to make a living.”

"...In many fields, the energy abundance brought by controllable nuclear fusion technology has liberated productivity and brought about huge changes in our living environment and our own lives in the past two decades."

"However, the current productivity level is still far from the highly developed productivity we want to achieve."

"Even the controllable nuclear fusion technology that brought all this has not yet been achieved once and for all. In the process of development, in the future that may be distant or near, our demand for energy will become even greater and more urgent. We On the basis of the existing controllable nuclear fusion technology, there is still huge room for progress. We also need to continue and will continue to support the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion, the foundation and power source of the new era. "

"In the next twenty or forty years, we need to liberate our creativity and achieve higher productivity in areas such as high intelligence."

After announcing the successful completion of the twenty-year construction project,

This televised speech did not end directly.

When cheers resounded in most places throughout China,

The following words of the old leader are also concerning.

When the 20-year-long construction here was completed and there was great joy,

For many people, despite the joy, there is still some hidden worry.

In the past two decades, major construction projects and major super projects have provided a large number of jobs from the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

At present, the employment rate in China is already very high and is still rising, which is also related to a certain extent.

At this moment, the completion of twenty-year-old construction is naturally a good thing and something worthy of joy.

But some people are worried that in the future, there will be fewer large-scale construction projects and job opportunities will be reduced again.

We are also worried that after the rapid development of the past two decades, this year will be the peak of development growth.

This idea seems a bit excessive for those outside China who are frightened by the exaggerated size of China at this moment.

But for some people in China, they do have this kind of worry.

At this moment, the old leader's words relieved these people's worries.

Twenty years of construction has been completed.

However, the ultimate goal of development is far from being achieved, and development will continue.

"...Academician Mo, at this happy moment, please say a few words to everyone."

After finishing his speech, the old leader did not shy away from the ongoing live broadcast.

He turned around and said something to Mo Dao with a smile.

Mo Dao looked at the old leader and smiled. After thinking about it,

Facing the direction of the camera, he didn’t say much else, he just said briefly,

"For the past, this is a new, prosperous era."

“For the future, I hope it’s a more prosperous time.”

This televised speech ended with Mo Dao's words.

After that, time officially entered the following year.

The excitement of the last year of the twenty-year construction, after the celebration is over,

The following days seemed much more ordinary.

The entire society will not suddenly change because of the end of twenty years of construction.

Major super projects are still being further expanded, and some more creative ideas are still being proposed.

People are still engaged in their own jobs and living their own lives.

From a macro perspective, most lives continue to get better with the development of society as a whole.

However, the dull feeling was just not as exciting as the grand celebration, which made most people feel that the context and heartbeat of history were close at hand.

But that doesn't mean nothing happens.

Most of the time, history passes in silence.

50 years, this year, Mo Dao is 56 years old.

In this life, Mo Dao actually only did one thing, research on controllable nuclear fusion.

After being mentioned repeatedly above, Mo Dao still agreed to the idea of ​​building a second-generation fusion experimental reactor from scratch.

It sounds like there is some rebellion against Tiangang. Maybe they don't want the funds, but the superiors will give them to them.

In fact, Mo Dao decided to build a second-generation fusion experimental reactor.

Using a method similar to the original Changye pile, building, researching and testing at the same time,

At this stage, it may have an effect, but not much.

The idea above is that as long as Mo Dao feels it has some effect.

Now China cannot afford to waste this money.

Let alone one, building ten experimental reactors can have more effect.

The higher-ups would not even blink an eye to directly allocate money to Mo Dao.

but,

It was exactly as Mo Dao judged.

Even if it means increasing investment and promoting research by building a second-generation fusion experimental reactor.

Progress in second-generation fusion technology research is still not optimistic.

In fact,

Over the past decade or so, after the final tritium proliferation problem in deuterium-tritium fusion was solved,

Mo Dao led the core theoretical team of the original demonstration reactor,

He has been deeply involved in the issue of second-generation fusion technology, that is, helium-3 fusion.

The progress is actually the same as now.

There are some, but the ultimate realization of helium-3 fusion is still far away.

This is a huge leap from the absence of controllable nuclear fusion to the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion.

From deuterium-tritium fusion to helium-3 fusion, it is also a huge leap.

Although the principle is the same, when implemented to the specific design and even engineering levels, they are completely two different things with two difficulties.

Helium-3 fusion is a second-generation fusion technology, not a second-generation deuterium-tritium fusion technology.

Relying on Mo Dao's turbulence theory and model, we were able to circumvent the problems in deuterium and tritium fusion.

It’s back again on helium-3 fusion.

In the realization of helium-3 fusion, what needs to be overcome is the material issue.

Unlike when deuterium and tritium were fused, Mo Dao was able to continue thinking on his own and spend a lifetime finding the answer to a question.

Regarding the issue of helium-3 fusion, Mo Dao cannot guarantee when it will be realized.

If you continue to struggle, you may not be able to solve the problem the next day, or even for several lifetimes.

It is not completely impossible to create a helium-3 fusion reactor with the current level of materials.

Relying on Mo Dao's understanding of turbulence theory, he was able to achieve this possibility through seven twists and eight twists and tricks.

However, this also makes the realization of helium-3 fusion technology very troublesome.

Probably the situation is,

If there are materials that can meet Mo Dao's needs,

Mo Dao gives a specific requirement for a certain system and part, and the theoretical team responsible for this part can rely on this material to directly complete the theoretical design of this part.

And now there is none,

A more complex design is needed to replace the functions that the theoretical material itself can achieve.

If this more complex design is to be realized, it may involve parts that are also unsolvable and require solutions or alternatives, and so on.

In the end, the entire helium-3 fusion reactor system became larger and more complex.

It can be said that there are thousands of threads, and every point extends to countless questions.
