Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

21 years.

This year, six years have passed since the construction of the demonstration reactor began.

It has been nine years since Mo Dao returned to this life.

Starting from the beginning of the year,

Look up the core team of the Research Institute and the core researchers who know more about the overall situation of the demonstration reactor construction.

It is already expected that the construction of the demonstration reactor may be completed within this year.

And this is indeed the case.

September.

It has been a long time since the site of the demonstration reactor has been shipped with new components produced by cooperative units.

Although the demonstration reactor construction site is still busy, most of the technical staff actually responsible for the construction work have withdrawn.

Instead,

More researchers are accompanying the remaining technical staff to carry out the finishing work of the demonstration reactor construction and at the same time conduct an overall inspection and even trial operation of each system of the demonstration reactor.

Mo Dao is standing here again at this moment,

Look at the demonstration pile that has been implemented from theoretical design to real thing in this life.

The demonstration pile in this life seems to look similar to the Suiren demonstration pile in the previous life.

But in fact, in the construction of this demonstration reactor, Mo Dao chose to do it in one step.

Under Mo Dao's control and the overall framework and direction given, this generation's demonstration reactor is actually a commercial reactor design that has become quite mature many years after the previous generation.

There is no need to go through the process of solving tritium multiplication again.

Mo Dao looked at the behemoth that had been formed at the demonstration reactor construction site and thought about something else.

The six-year construction period of the demonstration reactor was two years earlier than the conservative answer Mo Dao gave to the old leader.

First, in this life,

Regarding technical solutions with a Q value greater than one, China, or Qiusuo Research Institute, still reached a deal with a country in America and several parties in Europe.

After consulting Mo Dao's opinion and knowing that this technical solution would not lead to real technology leaks, the officials stepped in and facilitated the deal.

It was obviously impossible for America and Europe to agree to all the lists put forward by the Research Institute.

But in the end, I agreed to a lot.

The funds involved in this transaction went directly to Qiusuo Research Institute, and the technology acquired was shared between Qiusuo Research Institute and the official.

At the same time, the official converted the value of these technologies into a research fund and paid it to the account of Qiusuo Research Institute.

And some of the cutting-edge technologies acquired through these transactions, once mastered, have indeed made up for China's shortcomings in some areas at this stage.

The second reason is,

It means that the historical node is advanced,

In view of the new era changes that may come,

China has started its industrial transformation and upgrading ahead of schedule.

During the six years since the construction of the demonstration reactor here, the entire Chinese industrial sector has continued to undergo macro-level adjustments.

And the full support promised by the old leader to Mo Dao was not empty words.

In some measures, technological development in the industrial field that may be involved in the construction of demonstration reactors has been tilted.

This created an ‘environment’ that was more suitable for the birth of the demonstration reactor.

but,

According to what Mo Dao felt in this life.

It is estimated that from starting over until the demonstration reactor is completed,

Nine years may be approaching the limit.

If controllable nuclear fusion technology needs to be developed in the next few generations,

At most, it may be shortened by one or two years on the basis of nine years, but it will be difficult to shorten it any further.

Mo Dao masters the complete technical route for the realization of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

It can solve all the obstacles that hinder the realization of controllable nuclear fusion.

But the demonstration reactor and the commercial reactor cannot be built by him alone.

A considerable number of current researchers, technicians, and cooperative units must be required to participate.

It is bound to be limited by the productivity and technology of the times.

And this restriction,

In fact, there is a terrifying possibility lurking.

——Will it, one day, be limited by the productivity of each era?

Mo Dao, in a limited time, technological development will have an insurmountable upper limit.

Probably Mo Dao, in a certain life, spent all the rest of his life reshaping the process in this life based on the scientific and technological achievements that had been achieved in the previous life.

Mo Dao paused.

His expression was quite calm.

Let’s wait until many lifetimes later to consider these things that will happen in many lifetimes.

As things stand now, it will take some time for that possibility to arrive.

Looking at the construction of the demonstration reactor being completed, Mo Dao stood for a while.

…

Over the past six years,

Qiusuo Research Institute actually goes far beyond the construction of demonstration reactors.

In addition to some occasional achievements in other fields,

Let the academic community have a deeper impression of Qiusuo Research Institute.

In the aerospace field, which has been accumulating technology, Qiusuo Research Institute has also made major breakthroughs in the past six years.

For most of the past six years, Mo Dao, apart from occasionally paying attention to the implementation of the demonstration reactor design plan,

Basically, he is participating in the work of the aerospace team of Qiusuo Research Institute.

Research in the field of aerospace,

In Mo Dao's last life, it can only be said that he had an understanding, but it is difficult to say that he had a deep understanding.

Even though his thinking ability and memory ability continue to improve over and over again,

But a good woman cannot make a meal without rice. In this life, he still spent a lot of time learning existing knowledge in the aerospace field.

Of course, in the eyes of other core researchers on the aerospace team,

Mo Dao's learning speed is a bit exaggerated.

Mo Dao originally had a wide range of knowledge. He basically mastered many interdisciplinary subjects involved in aerospace research.

Just need to make up for some subjects that have not been covered before,

Once you have mastered it, your mastery of existing knowledge in the aerospace field will already appear to have advanced by leaps and bounds.

Regarding Mo Dao’s learning ability,

The suspicion that Mo Dao is an alien is less common.

After all, with this outrageous learning ability and the breadth and depth of knowledge that he had shown previously, it is not impossible that he could have learned it on his own.

18 years.

With Mo Dao's participation,

The aerospace project of the Qiusuo Research Institute has caught up with the official level more than ten years ago.

After a Yuanhang-2 experimental rocket was separated in the middle.

The Yuanhang-3 two-stage solid rocket carries the Qiusuo 01 manned spacecraft, also developed by the Qiusuo Research Institute.

The first manned space mission was completed.

Although limited by carrying capacity, this manned mission only carried one astronaut.

And it just entered low-Earth orbit, circled the earth once, and then landed back at the scheduled landing site.

But this is still the first time in China that an unofficial unit has achieved this feat.

Then at the end of 2020,

Under the auspices of Mo Dao,

The Yuanhang 3A rocket carrying a manned spacecraft once again completed a manned space mission.

This time, it was still a single astronaut who entered extraterrestrial space and returned to land again after more than ten hours.

The only difference is in the rocket.

This time, the Yuanhang 3A rocket uses a newer type of liquid fuel.

The unit transportation cost is greatly reduced.

It is a real breakthrough in the field of commercial aerospace.

After success.

To this day, it is still talked about.

but,

soon,

People's attention was once again diverted from the achievements of the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

…

October 21.

An application for starting the first operation experiment of the demonstration reactor was sent from the Qiusuo Research Institute,

Straight into the hands of the old leader and others.

The application content is very concise.

The demonstration reactor has been built, and we hope that officials will agree to and support this large-scale operational test.

The reply above is also very simple, ‘I agree and fully support it. ’
