Technological Hegemony

Luo Jia suddenly proposed to engage in controllable fusion, which surprised everyone. Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Luo Jia pull out a whiteboard from behind, and immediately smiled knowingly.

"As expected of a teacher, don't fight unprepared battles. When he proposed the controllable fusion project, he must have done a lot of research behind his back." Shen Lang thought to himself when he saw Luo Jia quickly writing on the whiteboard.

Not long after, the whiteboard was covered with dense text and data. Luo Jia turned around, tapped the whiteboard with an ink pen and said, "As we all know, there are currently two routes to achieve controllable fusion, magnetic confinement and inertial confinement."

"In terms of magnetic confinement, stellarator and tomacak have always been the focus of the scientific community, and our particle physics laboratory, nuclear physics laboratory, has also been conducting research on these two technologies. The project leader, everyone I know, Dr. Xie Tian."

Everyone nodded. The company is in charge of the controllable fusion project, and Dr. Xie Tian, ​​who is in charge of the particle physics and nuclear physics laboratories alone, is not an ordinary person.

Before returning to China, Xie Tian served as the chief scientist of the Gadarache Fusion Research Center under the French Atomic Energy Commission. Among all the Chinese elites who stayed in France, if Xie Tian’s achievements were ranked second, no one would dare to say that he ranked first .

After all, that is the Gadarache Center, the top five existences in global fusion research, with a radius of 2.25 meters, a magnet strength of 4.5, and a partially superconducting ture-supra fusion research device, which is Gadarache The proud work of the center.

Being able to serve as the chief scientist in this kind of place shows Xie Tian's status in the field of fusion. In order to let Dr. Xie Tian return to China, Xingchen Technology invested a lot of money, and the national team also made great efforts in it. Shady, you can write a thriller novel.

Fortunately, in France, this country is domineering at best, and likes to control and enslave the younger brothers in North Africa, but there is still some distance from hegemony, and the authorities are relatively loose, which gives Star Technology the opportunity to introduce high-end talents.

If Dr. Xie Tian is in North America and presides over a super strategic project like controllable fusion, unless he dies in North America and the urn comes back, there is absolutely no chance of returning to China. After all, the dispute between China and North America has already heated up. The brain is almost out of the dog's brain.

An Ran nodded lightly and said: "Dr. Xie Tian is not capable. In fact, the most powerful research on controllable fusion is the national team. Let's find out about the famous Institute of Plasma Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences? But we are an enterprise after all, and it is impossible to go to the national team to dig People, it is really a blessing for the company to invite Dr. Xie Tian back from France to preside over the controllable fusion project."

"Before Chinese New Year, I went to Dr. Xie Tian to see it. The progress was very fast. Several of the assistants were top talents in the field, the kind who could preside over the core laboratory alone, but they heard that we have Dr. Xie Tian in charge here. ,

This is the idol effect. In this world, fans are not the only ones who worship idols. Those who engage in scientific research also have star effects. "

"To be honest, our conditions are still a bit poor for accelerated controllable fusion. After all, Dr. Xie Tian's team mainly focuses on theoretical construction."

Luo Jia nodded slightly and said: "I understand all these situations. After we developed a distributed supercomputing network, the ability to use supercomputing simulation experiments has been greatly enhanced, so now a large part of our scientific research work will use supercomputing. solve."

"However, supercomputing is like a double-edged sword. While accelerating the speed of scientific research, it also makes us lack practical experience. After all, the problems faced by simulating a nuclear fusion device are completely different from those of building a nuclear fusion device by ourselves. In reality, even one Screws may also lead to unimaginable consequences."

"To put it simply, our research on nuclear fusion is still on the blueprint and lacks practical operations. In order to solve this problem, I have thought of a solution. You see, this is currently the main nuclear fusion research facility in the world."

"The British JET Research Institute, the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics in Germany, the Neon Institute of Atomic Energy, the French Atomic Energy Commission, etc., they are the main opponents of our country, and there are more fusion research institutions in North America. The Fusion Research Department of the General Group , the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in charge of the North American National Ignition Facility, our old rival Lowes Laboratory, and the Oak Ridge Laboratory."

"As the old saying goes, if you have food in your hands, don't panic. With the launch of the Karman vortex street power generation array, my country's research on nuclear fusion has become slack, because in the eyes of the national team, fusion is to solve energy problems. Since the Karman vortex street power generation can also solve the energy problem, the sense of urgency to attack nuclear fusion is much less."

"The Chinese Academy of Sciences adopts partially superconducting HT-7, fully superconducting EAST, keeping pace with North American national ignition devices, and the world's only second most advanced inertial restraint device, Shenguang III. These are the main projects that my country is promoting."

"As a big country, it is impossible for the national team to hand over these super projects to us, but in the Southwest Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there is a D-type non-superconductor fusion research device code-named HL-2A. This device was established earlier and its technology is relatively backward. The maximum diameter is only 1.64 meters, and the magnetic field strength is 2.8."

"In short, this is a non-key project in the hands of the national team, but because it has been in operation for many years, the personnel experience, and the completion rate of facilities are relatively high. In the past few years, although we have hired Dr. It is a supercomputing simulation experiment, lacking field experience, if we acquire the HL-2A project of the Southwest Institute, it will be able to make up for our shortcomings."

Luo Jia revealed his plan, and Li Moran, who was always cautious, frowned and asked, "Have the national team agreed?"

Luo Jia shrugged and said with a smile: "I called the general. His only request is that the military also send personnel to the project. Once successful, we will share the research results with the military, and I agreed."

Everyone nodded, it wasn't a key project of the national team, and there were generals coming forward, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Over the past few years, the number of projects that Xingchen Technology and the military have worked on together has long been beyond count. Deep bondage, everyone flirts with each other, cherishes each other, and has a very good relationship, but it has never been made public.

"In this case, I wish Dr. Xie can get used to our Sichuan red oil hot pot." An Ran said with a smile.

Luo Jia nodded, and said firmly: "From now on, order the particle physics laboratory, nuclear physics laboratory, condensed matter physics laboratory, and high-energy physics laboratory to enter Sichuan!"

...

After the meeting of the management bureau, as the head of the hardware department, An Ran called Xie Tian, ​​the person in charge of particle physics and nuclear physics, Zhang Cheng, the person in charge of condensed matter physics, and Xu Guangling, the person in charge of high-energy physics, and held a meeting.

An Ran told them that the company decided to take over the Southwest Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, code-named HL-2A project, they need to enter Sichuan immediately, set up a branch in the Southwest, and start the reconstruction of the original fusion facilities. In addition, An Ran also recruited the superconducting project of the Materials Department to be in charge He came to Anbang and asked him to fully cooperate with the four major fusion research laboratories.

Everyone was very excited. It was not easy to get involved in the national team's projects before, so Xie Tian had to lead people to do it silently. Starting from the theory and doing supercomputing simulation experiments, now it is necessary to roll up their sleeves with great fanfare. Dr. Xie has been looking forward Looking at this day, he immediately said that although he is a Cantonese who never eats spicy food, for the sake of science, red oil hot pot and so on are trivial.

With the vigorous and resolute actions of Star Technology, the relocation operation started immediately. Although not all employees will enter, all relevant laboratories have to transfer elites to Sichuan. Inside the company, it still caused quite a stir. The news that the controllable fusion reactor will be built , making straight men sleepless at night, blood boiling.

Luo Jia did not participate in all this because he had more important work.

Putting on the virtual reality helmet, Luo Jia logged on to the secret network, and saw that the ruins everywhere were still there, except that the figures of the blue feather and the black sword were missing beside the fountain, the huge silver eye of truth representing the rebellious civilization, as if staring at him , Want to find out the truth from Luo Jia.

It's a pity that no matter the Eye of Truth or Lan Yu and Hei Jian, they will not know that Luo Jia is not a big man from some hidden civilization, but from a distant solar system, a small place called Earth.

Came to the message wall below the Eye of Truth, Luo Jia stopped to watch, because in the virtual reality, all the rules are different from reality, this flat wall is empty, but when you look at it with your eyes At that time, the vision seems to have suddenly entered a huge and ancient forum, where countless posts are classified into categories, transactions, people tracing, knowledge exchange, gossip news, everything in the world, everything is in it.

"I can understand it!" Luo Jiaxin thought happily: "The text and language implanted in my brain by the golden dome should be the common language of stars, and this is a place similar to a public forum. No matter which civilization they come from, everyone Using the common language is like speaking Mandarin in China."

After observing for a while, Luo Jia was disappointed to find that the most important sections of science and technology, military, and ships were empty.

Secret.com should have administrators in the past, just like those websites that specialize in special small movies, every time you are interested, and then when you are gearing up to watch, they suddenly pour a basin of cold water and pop up a dialogue box, reminding you that this content is exclusive to paid members.

Or with the demise of the rebellious civilization, the secret network, as an integral part of the civilization, is also facing the pursuit of powerful hostile forces, the administrator is forced to transfer, and the key information is destroyed before leaving, just in case.

Anyway, many years later, when Luo Jia came to Miwang, there was no valuable information left here, and the largest number were daily life messages, such as "Have you eaten?" "Not yet." If you haven’t eaten, go home and eat.” This kind of thing.

In line with the spirit that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, Luo Jia started to read eagerly, and soon entered a state of ecstasy. The civilization of the dimension, the civilization of chaos, the civilization of liquid, the types and quantities of civilizations were beyond imagination, which made him very excited. Turn pale.

In addition, Luo Jia also discovered an embarrassing thing. The mechanical system is among the stars, which seems to be a bit notorious...

...

Plant civilizations, garbage disposal galaxies.

Shua~

The dilapidated small cargo ship lifted off and carried Lan Yu to Garbage Star No. 7. In the past month, an average of one ship of garbage was delivered here every two days. There were a lot of new goods. Try your luck here.

Walking on this kind of planet that is specially used to pile up garbage is a very dangerous thing. If you are unlucky, you may step on an unexploded thermal weapon, or the thousand-meter-high garbage mountain suddenly collapses. Of course, hiding Scary rodent creature in the dark.

Wearing protective clothing and a helmet, Lan Yu carried the heavy backpack on her back, took a few steps forward, closed the door of the cargo ship by remote control, and then took a deep breath, looking at the endless garbage and the gray fog caused by pollution .

The business of disposing of waste in plant civilization is like a thermal power plant generating electricity. It needs to store enough raw materials. After all, if the coal is used up, the power plant will shut down and the whole city will be cut off.

The main purpose of the garbage galaxy is to store garbage to be decomposed, and the decomposition work is carried out in the factory galaxy next door, where there is a higher level of confidentiality, and no one else is allowed to enter.

The Lan Yu family has been garbage guards for generations, so going to the factory galaxy is naturally unlimited, and in the factory area, the Lan family still has several old friends who have been friends for generations.

According to the rules of the plant family, once one becomes a garbage watcher, this person and his descendants, his family, will guard the garbage for generations. The garbage disposal workers in the factory galaxy are also in the same situation as Blue Rain, the only difference is that , they were not as rich as Lan Yu, and they did not risk being hanged to quietly hide an elite frigate that could sail the endless stars.

"In the past, the business of garbage disposal was exclusively controlled by mechanical civilization. After all, even if we manipulate plants, our work efficiency and cost are far lower than those of robots. Now that there are no robots among the stars, we can win the oil and water of garbage disposal. Good business."

"Perhaps as those ancient fables say, any civilization can exist, but the mechanical civilization must die, because if the mechanical civilization lives, no one else can survive."

Lan Yu sighed softly, he had no interest in the mechanical department at first, until the navigator Luo Jia suddenly appeared and claimed that he was a mechanical department, and Lan Yu began to understand it in depth.

There are many books in the junkyard, Lan Yu read some books, and found that the mechanical department is really rogue, really domineering, really crazy, no wonder all civilizations want to build the mechanical department together, because if the machinery is not eliminated, other civilizations will die badly up.

"Luo Jia can't be from the mechanical department." Lan Yu muttered: "Because the real mechanical department will never reveal its identity unless it is stupid. Mr. Navigator must be joking. Just kidding, no one else dares to do anything to him, he can do whatever he wants, this is the privilege of a top professional."

"Looking for Dragon Vine!"

Lan Yu suddenly made a sound, and then from the backpack behind him, black vines suddenly appeared. The vines were long and narrow, soft like snakes, fast, and as powerful as lightning, they tied Lan Yu's waist and slammed his entire body. Lift it up, and then, like an octopus, take the blue feather and run wildly in the world of garbage, like a big monster born!

"I order you, look for this thing!"

Lan Yu issued an order, and he took out a photo of the three-way catalytic converter to show Xunlongteng, and the black vine seemed to have wisdom, and immediately understood.

Kacha~

The vines went deep into the ground like javelins, and quickly rummaged through the endless garbage dumps, setting off a huge aura that was overwhelming. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that a single vine actually contained amazing and strange energy.

While rummaging, unable to find the required parts, Xunlongteng took Lan Yu to run wildly, and went to the next location.

According to the rules of plant civilization, such an obviously mutated plant that already has its own wisdom, such as the dragon-seeking vine, should be handed over to the high-level, and then be sealed or destroyed.

But there are exceptions to everything. This is the garbage galaxy, the most desolate, most remote, most neglected, and lowest in the plant civilization. Whether it is the Lanyu family guarding the garbage star, or the workers who manipulate the plants to deal with garbage, or More or less have their own secrets.

The mutated plant of Xunlongvine was given to Lan Yu by Uncle Luo Sen, a repairman of the garbage disposal plant. When he was twelve years old, his grandfather had just passed away, and he was watching the garbage world alone. Uncle Luo Sen was afraid that he would be lonely. , fearing that he would be in danger, so he violated the ban and gave the mutated plant Dragon-seeking Vine to Lan Yu.

"Thank you, Uncle Luo Sen." Lan Yu quickly rummaged through the garbage while thinking in his heart, "I am an adult now, and I was lucky enough to meet a navigator named Luo Jia. Perhaps with his help, the future To be able to have a different life from my father, my grandfather, and everyone in my family."

"I don't want my children to be like me, living in a garbage dump since childhood. For this reason, I have prepared a frigate. Maybe the family and my own collection can be sold for some money, and I can buy a small house and a place away from the garbage. A piece of land, if the money is not enough, just a small piece of land is enough, I am a plant department, and planting is my specialty, so I should not be hungry." Like a bumpkin who has never seen the world, Lan Yu thought in his heart nagging.

Lan Yu, who had no concept of money, didn't know that if he really bought the land with the cave full of collections, he would buy the whole country.
