Technological Hegemony

Shua~

Traveling through the stars, Luo Jia's consciousness reached the virtual reality, facing the endless ruins, behind the Eye of Truth and the fountain.

Luo Jia was slightly disappointed when he didn't see Hei Jian or Lan Yu.

"Lan Yu's situation is not very clear, but Hei Jian should be busy completing the task assigned by the high-level, and the signal disturbance of the forgotten galaxy may make it difficult for him to log in to the secret network. However, from previous experience, it seems that the secret network uses space-time gaps to transmit With the powerful capabilities of data, the distance between me and Black Sword is unknown how many light-years away, but it is completely unaffected, and I can talk without delay."

"So the probability of Hei Jian not being able to log in to the secret net is very small. He should be busy in reality. I hope this guy will have good luck and don't be in any danger." Luo Jia murmured to himself.

He is like a businessman, and Hei Jian is like his clients. No businessman would want his clients to be in danger, but wished that there would be more and more clients, and everyone would live a long life. Therefore, Luo Jia continued for three days Not being able to see Hei Jian, I was still full of worries for him.

Walking under the Eye of Truth, Luo Jia looked at the message board.

"There is a message, sent by Hei Jian. It seems that during my morning meeting, Hei Jian came to the secret network. He must have encountered some emergency. He left immediately after leaving the message." Luo Jia thought. With a bad premonition in his heart, he quickly opened Hei Jian's message to check.

"Dear Mr. Navigator, please forgive me that I haven't contacted you for three whole days. The situation is terrible. I didn't expect that today, two epochs after the death of mechanical civilization, their defense mechanism is still effective..."

Luo Jia quickly read Heijian's message. It turned out that he and his fleet had encountered serious trouble in the 13th star region of the Forgotten Galaxy. They were hunted down by the remaining drones of the mechanical clan. Although the combat effectiveness of the drones may not be very good The key is that they are numerous and ubiquitous, and the jamming drones can prevent the jump engine from starting, forcing Heijian and his fleet to hide in Tibet.

"At least combat drones with intermediate artificial intelligence. A long time ago, mechanical civilization made a feat of single-handedly defeating all civilizations, so their combat drones were set to attack indiscriminately, except for mechanical civilization. All existences are considered enemies, that is to say, although the mechanical civilization has perished, their drones are still in a state of war." Luo Jia thought quickly in her heart.

Luo Jia immediately opened the star map in the thinking world, and found the last mark left by the black sword.

"There is a way!"

Ten minutes later, Luo Jia's eyes lit up, and he quickly entered data on the message wall.

"Although it is more dangerous,

But it is the only hope for now. I hope Heijian can see my evacuation plan as soon as possible. "After typing, Luo Jia said silently in her heart.

...

That afternoon, Luo Jia arrived in Chengdu by special plane, then transferred to a car and plunged into the mountains.

Controlled fusion research is a secret among secrets, so the research institutes and test facilities are located in barren mountainous areas, and there are military soldiers guarding the periphery, so that no one else can get close.

When the car was passing through the security check, Luo Jia saw that the original plate of the Southwest Plasma Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had been removed and replaced by the Southwest Fusion Research Center of Xingchen Technology. It has the words Southwest Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Mr. Luo, I didn't expect you to come in person." Dr. Xie Tian and Dr. Zhang Cheng, who specializes in condensed matter, greeted him together.

"Well, fusion research is the company's top priority. Even without the visit of experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I planned to take a look in person." Luo Jia said with a smile: "It's different now, space elevators, controllable fusion , These projects are typical heavy weapons of a big country. If you want to succeed, you must not lack the support of the national team. Even if the national team does not seek us, we must take the initiative to find them."

Everyone nodded and agreed with Luo Jia's words. Without the strength of the national team, the space elevator would not have been built. Weigu Island is Indonesia's territory. The densely packed fleet means that the military is escorting the project regardless of the cost.

Luo Jia chatted with Dr. Xie Tian for a few words, and then it was time to eat. There was no place in front of the village or behind the shop, so I couldn't find food, so I could only eat in the cafeteria.

According to the tradition of Xingchen Technology, the logistics work has always been spared no expense. The employees must eat well, drink well, and have entertainment and exercise outside of work. Luo Jia asked the old employees here in the cafeteria, and they all said that the conditions were much better than before. There are more, more than 30 dishes per meal, and there are more healthy meal options with low oil and salt.

In the restaurant, Luo Jia smiled and said to everyone: "You used to belong to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and had the establishment of the national team. Now you have become employees of a private company. Do you feel disappointed?"

The researchers immediately became emotional.

"Mr. Luo, don't be joking. We were overjoyed when we found out that Xingchen Technology acquired Plasma Southwest as a whole."

"Yeah, the top salaries in the world are like a dream. The brothers and sisters in the capital are all envious of us."

"To be honest, three years ago, I came to the Southwest Institute because I failed to get into Xingchen Technology."

"From now on, I will be a member of the tough guy group! Even though I am a lesbian, I am also proud of it. I think that the so-called tough guy group does not necessarily have to be a man, but more importantly, a A fearless tough guy spirit! As long as you have a tiger in your chest, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you are a tough guy!"

The researchers expressed their opinions one after another. The establishment of the national team can be overthrown. It is too late for everyone to become a member of Xingchen Technology.

"The Southwest Institute's scientific research ability is not as good as ours, but its hands-on ability is strong. There is an engineering team of more than 200 people. Everyone in the team has experience in building and maintaining Tokamak fusion devices, which is really precious to us. In the evening, Xie Tian said to Luo Jia: "Our fusion research team is undoubtedly strong, but it lacks hands-on experience. The acquisition of the Southwest Institute can be regarded as making up for our biggest shortcoming."

Luo Jia nodded lightly, "Come on, let's go and see the construction situation."

After putting on the dustproof clothes, Luo Jia took the elevator with Xie Tian and Zhang Cheng, entered the deep underground, saw the stellarator under construction, and chatted cordially with the construction engineering team.

For a whole night, Luo Jia didn't sleep much. Through ingenious and subtle influence, he instilled advanced concepts from energy civilization into the scientific and engineering teams.

In the early morning of the next day, a team of experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences arrived. They arrived in Chengdu on a red-eye flight, and then rushed to the Southwest Institute without stopping.

"We don't want to be in a hurry, but we can't sit still at all. I heard that after the stellarator, not the Tomacak, you made, not to mention our plasma institute, the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences was blown up at that time! If it weren't for the big leader Stop it, there are too many people here, I'm afraid it will disturb your work, I can guarantee that half of the people in the Chinese Academy of Sciences will come here."

"In any case, this matter must be clarified. Except for the stubborn Germans, the whole world is making tokamaks. How can you follow the stellarator route like those German paranoiacs?"

"Don't underestimate this issue, this is a line dispute! If your line is correct, it means that including us, the whole world is wrong!"

"The tokamak is our research effort for decades! It's just like our children. Don't be stunned. Let's gather everyone. I want to see what's going on with your stellarator. More promising than our tokamak?"

The bigwigs from the Chinese Academy of Sciences disregarded their identities and started yelling as soon as they got off the car. Xie Tian curled his lips again and again, thankful that Luo Jia came to preside over the overall situation in time, otherwise the veteran scientists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences might not be able to handle it .

According to the plan, Luo Jia planned to cut the matter first and then build the stellarator without saying hello to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As long as the experiment is successful and the facts speak louder than words, others will naturally have nothing to say.

In the end, the news spread to the capital. This place used to be the Southwest Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There were hundreds of former employees of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There was also a team sent by the general, the military fusion research team, and they might also disclose the news.

Anyway, now the Chinese Academy of Sciences already knows that after Xingchen Technology acquired the Southwest Research Institute, it directly dismantled the original tokamak and used the stellarator!

This news was like a bomb, instantly detonating the audience, and the scientists couldn't figure it out, how could Xingchen Technology transfer to the stellarator? Is the tokamak route wrong?

"Let's have something to eat first." Luo Jia suggested: "It may take several days to figure out the fusion route. You can't go without eating for several days, right? Scientific research is a lifetime thing, don't rush For a while."

What Luo Jia said was reasonable, and the experts also deeply believed that scientific research is a lifetime thing, and this sentence was said to everyone's heart, so they had a hearty breakfast in the cafeteria, and then came to the meeting In the room, Luo Jia, Xie Tian and Zhang Cheng sat on one side, and the scientists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were Fang Tongshu and Gao Ruiman, who sat across from each other.

Mr. Gao Ruiman cleared his throat, and took the lead to say: "It's a great honor to be here with Mr. Luo from Xingchen Technology and colleagues from the scientific community. First of all, we would like to congratulate Xingchen Technology. The battle of the space elevator was really beautiful. Yes, when we got the news, the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences was in a rage!"

Mr. Gao did not hesitate to use his compliments, and he spoke many words of praise for Xingchen Technology with a very sincere attitude.

But Luo Jia knew in his heart that it was impossible for the seniors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to say no complaints.

After all, the predecessors spent their whole lives on the tokamak device, but in the end it was nothing to fetch water from the bamboo basket. Life can last for several decades. Luo Jia led people to overthrow the research results of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the past few decades. Even if these older generation scientific researchers, no matter how good-looking they are, they may feel a little bit uneasy in their hearts.

Sure enough, after the polite opening, the seniors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences immediately changed the topic to the stellarator.

The old man Fang Tongshu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Luo, we all know that Xingchen Technology is powerful. It is a well-deserved giant in the scientific research world and has made immortal contributions to the country and the nation."

"But regarding the stellarator, we really have to make it clear. Ever since we learned that you were working on the stellarator, our Chinese Academy of Sciences has exploded. Many young researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences just quit. Everyone said , Even Xingchen Technology is working on stellarators, and the tokamak will definitely not work, so it is better to follow in the footsteps of Xingchen Technology as soon as possible.”

Luo Jia heard it, Mr. Fang was complaining to himself, it doesn't matter if Xingchen Technology launched the star imitator, the Chinese Academy of Sciences immediately messed up, everyone believed in the tokamak device, but now, many people began to suspect that they had made a mistake route.

It has to be said that the influence of Xingchen Technology is too great, and even the Chinese Academy of Sciences is deeply affected by it.

"You have a huge scientific research team with hundreds of thousands of people. There must be a reason for choosing stellarator. There is no learning before and after, and those who have mastered it first. We are not here today to ask questions. It is really an academic discussion."

Afraid of Luo Jia's misunderstanding, Mr. Gao quickly emphasized the position of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As the saying goes, if you don't understand the reason, scientists hate the state of being confused. He is eager to know why Luo Jia chose the unpopular stellarator, and what is the mystery behind it.

Luo Jia nodded lightly, "I know that seniors are also very enthusiastic. We who are engaged in scientific research really need this kind of spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end. So last night, Dr. Xie Tian and I summarized it. First of all, please Look at the blueprint for our stellarator."

After finishing speaking, Luo Jia motioned to Xie Tian, ​​took out the blueprints that had been prepared, and distributed them to everyone present.
