Technological Hegemony

When Luo Jia took the elevator to the underground test center, Xie Tian and others had already completed the double-helix fusion device. Compared with the original tokamak device, this stellarator was quite small, with a height of 2.2 meters and a diameter of 9.9 meters. It is ten centimeters long and is in the shape of a cylinder, which can be completely loaded into a ship or a large engineering vehicle.

"Don't look at this stellarator's small size, but its interior is too complicated. It took us a whole week to fully assemble it." Xie Tian shrugged his shoulders and said to Luo Jia.

Looking around, it is not difficult to find the thick dark circles under the eyes of everyone. Behind the high efficiency of Xingchen Technology is the hard work of countless straight men. The nuclear fusion project has just started in January. It is not yet March, and the first test device has been completed. , Such efficiency is by no means comparable to that of Western scientists who have long been accustomed to being free and undisciplined.

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and have a rest." Luo Jia said.

According to the agreement, Xie Tian was in charge of building the double helix, while Luo Jia led the second team and was in charge of inspection and acceptance. Now that the work of Xie Tian's team has been completed, they can finally return to the ground, eat some skewers, drink two glasses of beer, and relax after days Nerves up.

"Okay, then we'll go up, and we'll let you know if anything happens." Xie Tian said.

Witnessing Xie Tian going up the elevator, Luo Jia, who was wearing a white dustproof suit, turned around and began to use an ultrasonic detector to detect the overall structure of the double-helix stellarator, followed by every coil, every screw, and every piece of graphite ene protective board, testing and recording of each circuit.

According to the safety manual, the number of items that Luo Jia and his team will test has reached an astonishing more than 2,000 items. Fortunately, Star Technology has a strong team of engineers. The results are reported to the command group, and the items that have been tested are ticked with an ink pen.

Luo Jia stared at the double helix with ecstasy. The superconducting coils were densely packed, chaotic and twisted like claws and claws. It made people feel obsessive-compulsive.

Regular coils can generate uneven magnetic fields on different circumferential surfaces by applying different currents, but the magnetic fields generated by stellarators are special, not only in different strengths, but also in directions that need to be changed, so the outer coils of the stellarator are like a group of demons dancing wildly , has a very complex shape.

"I don't know if Hei Jian has completed the task?" Luo Jia thought in his heart, "If Hei Jian, with my help, passes all the way, breaks through difficulties and obstacles, and finally completes the task, maybe he will be promoted and become an energy civilization. And I also got a strong ally in the distant energy civilization, which will be of great help to lead the earth out of the solar system in the future."

During the interval between accepting the double-helix stellarator, Luo Jia thought about many issues. He began to realize the importance of allies. After all, one day in the future, people on earth will go to the universe.

As the old saying goes, many friends lead many paths.

Luo Jia even considered supporting Hei Jian and Lan Yu, using the star map and technology he possessed to turn them into high-level figures of their respective civilizations.

Among the many technologies, robots and artificial intelligence need to be treated with caution, and it is not easy to tell Lan Yu and Heijian. According to Luo Jia's understanding of the stars during this period, robots and artificial intelligence are technologies that are strictly prohibited by major civilizations. Once someone uses them, I might lose my head.

In short, under the company of being busy and full of wild thoughts, Luo Jia led the team to complete the inspection and acceptance of the double-helix stellarator in two days.

The level of Xie Tian's team is very high. Luo Jia only found a total of twelve places that needed rectification. Then he took the elevator back to the ground with the acceptance record and went straight to Xie Tian's office.

"Huh? Why are you back here?" Luo Jia said in surprise after seeing Mr. Gao Ruiman from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Anyway, there is nothing special. The old party is dealing with the subject transfer, so I decided to go back to Chengdu and witness the birth of history with my own eyes." Gao Ruiman said, a little sigh could be heard from his voice.

"Subject transfer?" Luo Jia asked puzzled.

"Oh, since you have proved the rationality and advanced nature of the double-helix stellarator with impeccable theories and data, I discussed it with the old party and stopped wasting national resources on the tokamak project. The project team is disbanded, and only a small-scale research group will be left in the future to classify and summarize the previous research results. We have tried our best, but there is no result in the end, but it is the process of history. Scientific work must be rational and not paranoid. Since your imitation The stellar device is better, of course I will use your plan." Gao Ruiman said frankly.

Luo Jia nodded, handed the acceptance report to Xie Tian, ​​and told him that there were twelve areas that needed rectification.

"Understood, I'll take the engineering team down to make rectifications, and then I'll ask you for a second inspection." Xie Tian stood up and said, after two days of rest, his face became much ruddy.

"In addition, when you were down below, I received many requests to observe our experiments. There were representatives of the academicians of the two academies, as well as representatives of the military. It seems that we will launch fusion experiments in the near future. There have been many People know." Xie Tian said to Luo Jia.

He turned his gaze to Gao Ruiman, and Gao Ruiman shrugged his shoulders and said: "To be precise, your stellarator is not known by others, but has exploded in the scientific community. It was a stormy sea, and everyone who knew about it was shocked and wanted to take a look."

"Academicians of the two academies, representatives of the military, it seems that no one can afford to offend." Luo Jia pondered in his heart.

Immediately he laughed and said, "If that's the case, then come on and order the cafeteria to prepare more ingredients like hairy belly and yellow throat. I'll treat the academicians to eat hot pot."

Hearing Luo Jia's words, Gao Ruiman suddenly felt a toothache, and said seriously: "I need to prepare more herbal tea."

...

Walking out of Xie Tian's office, Luo Jia returned to the room, ordered not to disturb herself, then took out the helmet and logged in to the secret network.

"Mr. Navigator!"

"You are finally here!"

An excited voice sounded, and Luo Jia saw that under the Eye of Truth, Lan Yu and Hei Jian were having a cordial conversation. After seeing Luo Jia, they immediately separated and stood respectfully.

"Hei Jian is here. In this way, he has already completed his mission. If I help him and make him return to the headquarters safely, maybe Hei Jian will be promoted and get rich, and the person who is most grateful for the promotion and fortune of Hei Jian is naturally me. My lord, it's not bad, not bad, this kind of debt of favor, the more the better."

Seeing that Heijian was safe and sound, Luo Jia was overjoyed. Both the earth and Luo Jia had no foundation in the cosmic society. Taking the opportunity to sell Heijian as a favor and slowly cultivate the power of the cosmic society to be close to oneself is definitely not a bad thing.

With shrewd calculations in mind, but still showing an unfathomable aura on the surface, Luo Jia nodded slightly, as if he had greeted Hei Jian and Lan Yu, and then said to Hei Jian seemingly inadvertently: "I planned it for you." Is the route going well?"

Hei Jian hurriedly said: "It went very smoothly, thank you, respected Mr. Navigator! If it weren't for your strategizing, my crew and I would have become ghosts among the stars at this moment, buried in the eternal night starry sky , Mr. Luo Jia, you are our savior!"

Lan Yu was slightly stunned, "That's really great. You have completed the mission of the clan, bravely ventured into the dangerous and forgotten galaxy, and successfully returned to the voyage. You will definitely become the object of everyone's talk. You will be a legend in the history of interstellar navigation. Maybe you can be promoted because of this, and command a larger fleet, I am here, first of all I want to congratulate you."

What Lan Yu said was exactly what Luo Jia thought. He turned his eyes to Hei Jian, but saw Hei Jian's face slowly darken.

"Hey, to be honest, Mr. Navigator, Mr. Lan Yu, my mission has failed." Hei Jian said with a sigh.

"How could this happen?" Lan Yu panicked and said, "Mr. Navigator obviously helped you avoid danger and find the correct route."

Perhaps because of dealing with him many times, Hei Jian now trusts Luo Jia and Lan Yu from the bottom of his heart. This time he did not hide any more, and revealed the details of his mission, frankly saying that he was looking for the star of the legendary space station that fell in the third era. Lock number, and from the wreckage of Star Lock number, Mo Xing, one of the five energy cores, was obtained.

"Energy core!?" Lan Yu was startled and said, "Should it be a very important existence for energy civilization?"

Hei Jian nodded slowly, "That's right, our energy civilization has five guardian families, namely the royal family Jinhe, Qinghe in the east, Shahe in the south, Linghe in the north, and Baihe in the west."

"The five guardian families correspond to the five energy cores. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the spiritual pillars of our civilization. Unfortunately, with the era of war and the annihilation of civilization, we finally lost all energy cores."

After listening to Hei Jian's words, Lan Yu muttered to himself, "Coincidentally, the most precious night seeds and day seeds of our plant civilization were also lost in the era of annihilation, which made it impossible for us to breed plants with magical genes. As we all know, our plant civilization is quite fragile, without plants with magical genes, it is difficult for us to survive in the cracks between major civilizations."

Hei Jian nodded slightly and said: "Although I don't know much about it, I heard that you don't seem to have any outstanding weapon technology, and you all rely on purchasing from outside."

Lan Yu said helplessly: "Isn't that right? We have bought a lot of starships in recent years. It is probably because of the loss of two magical seeds. Those gentlemen in the council are afraid. But you are just fine, the energy civilization is brave and good at fighting. , is well known.”

"I remember last time I heard you say that your immediate boss seems to be in conflict with you. If you can't complete the task, you may be targeted after you go back. Otherwise, why don't you spend some time looking for it?"

Lan Yu began to worry about Hei Jian. He grew up alone in the garbage galaxy. Apart from his parents and grandfather, he only knew a few uncles in the garbage treatment plant. The circle he grew up in was closed, which made Lan Yu relatively innocent.

Hei Jian shook his head slightly, "No need, we've been searching for several days. Judging from the fact that the energy furnace at the core of the Starlock was torn apart by external force, someone should have taken the core violently."

"As for things after going back, hey, let's take it one step at a time. Thanks to the help of Mr. Navigator, I have already obtained the route to the forgotten galaxy. A merit, I should not be punished or demoted."

"It turns out that Heijian's situation in the energy civilization is not optimistic, and someone is deliberately targeting him." Luo Jia thought quickly: "We must pay attention to these situations in the future. After all, Heijian trusts me and is my eyeliner and ally in Qunxing. The higher his status, the better for me."

Thinking of this, Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "After you go back, you can take the initiative to undertake the exploration mission, and use credit to offset the mistake of failing to obtain the energy core. If necessary, I can continue to plan the route for you, but you have to pay for it. price."

After hearing this, Hei Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly thought that his long journey was not fruitless. He met Luo Jia through the secret network, a mysterious and powerful navigator. If he can get the navigator's support in the future, he will undoubtedly have a bright future It will be bright!

"Thank you, Mr. Navigator!" Hei Jian passed by in surprise, trembling with excitement, and said in a deep voice, "I will rely on your help from now on, and this time you helped to formulate the route and escape from the pursuit of the drone swarm, what should I pay? What about your reward?"

"You can't be cheap, kid." Luo Jia thought to himself, "Although Lan Yu is in the plant civilization, he doesn't seem to have any demand for my route, that is to say, I can't get the black technology of plant civilization from Lan Yu. The only thing that can be used is the black sword, for the future of the earth and China, we must hollow out and squeeze out the technology of energy civilization."

"It's a pity that Black Sword's status is not high, and he knows very limited information and technology. It would be great if he could help him climb to the top, so that he can come up with more valuable technologies."

Thinking of this, Luo Jia pretended to be deep and said: "Don't ask me what I need, but ask what you can provide. Don't worry about the reward first. It's not too late. I will help you leave the Forgotten Galaxy first, and then we will talk about the reward. The problem."

"As expected of a top professional! I am so touched! Mr. Navigator knew that I was not completely out of trouble, so he offered to help me leave the Forgotten Galaxy first. Sure enough, doing things from the beginning to the end, this is the philosophy and demeanor of a big man." After a while, Hei Unlimited shame rose in the heart of the sword, and he fell in admiration for Luo Jia.

"It was too abrupt just now. I just asked about the remuneration. With Mr. Luo Jia's status, he should not have any interest in those low-level intelligence and technology. Sure enough, he should take the initiative to explain what he owns, and then see Luo Jia. Does Mr. Jia need it?" Hei Jian pondered, he must take the initiative to explain his situation next time, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for Luo Jia to speak up and tell the type of remuneration, but he could not provide it.

"Mr. Luo Jia is really a good person. May the mother of nature bless him in safety and health." Lan Yu said silently in his heart. In his eyes, the figure of Mr. Navigator suddenly became taller, and his favorability increased by three.

After thinking for a while, Luo Jia helped Hei Jian plan the evacuation route, and the two agreed that if there were no accidents, they would see each other in a week, and then Hei Jian would discuss the payment with Luo Jia.

"Well, when you meet next week, can I come?" Lan Yu suddenly asked.

Hei Jian didn't dare to answer this question rashly, so he looked at Luo Jia.

"Of course, I'm still very unfamiliar with today's stars, and I don't have many friends." Luo Jia replied with a blank expression.

Unexpectedly, hearing these words in the ears of Hei Jian and Lan Yu, a turbulent sea suddenly set off.

"Still unfamiliar with today's stars? So Mr. Luo Jia has been away for a long time and just returned?"

"There are not many friends in the stars? Could it be that his friends are all dead, Mr. Navigator, like those written in the novel, spent a long time in a closed environment like a freezer?"

"It's really possible! An ancient top-level professional like a navigator, a prophet who guides the direction in the galaxy, has not appeared for a long, long time. Not only does our energy civilization have no navigators, it seems that the plant civilization where Lan Yu is located has no The leader will pass it on!"

"My God! An ancient navigator who has awakened? Mr. Luo Jia is amazing!"

"This kind of thick thigh, you must hold it tight no matter what! Work hard, Black Sword! Use these seven days to collect the rewards of Mr. Navigator with all your strength!"

In a few seconds, Hei Jian and Lan Yu thought a lot about it.

With the annihilation of civilization and the rapid degeneration of major civilizations, the top professional navigators known as the prophets of the stars have been lost in the major civilizations one after another. That is to say, there are no navigators among the stars today. Luo Jia suddenly appeared at this moment In the secret network, there is a natural aura of mystery. Hei Jian and Lan Yu can easily think of Luo Jia as an ancient person who has been sleeping for thousands of years.

Besides, the black hoodie worn by Luo Jia and the ordinary sports shoes that obviously do not have the ability of magnetic levitation are so retro and rare, full of a unique and rare temperament, obviously out of date.

Hearing the news that he could join the meeting next week, Lan Yu was overjoyed, and said to Hei Jian: "When we meet again next week, I hope to get the tutorial materials on how to drive a guard-class starship alone. Can technology be exchanged?"

agriculture! ?

"Agricultural security is a big problem. Today, Huaxia purchases tens of millions of tons of agricultural products, mainly soybeans, from around the world every year. It is difficult to achieve self-sufficiency in agriculture. Lan Yu comes from plant civilization. He must have mastered it." Learned a lot of black technology about agriculture."

After Luo Jia heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and his ears pricked up. At the same time, he also felt that his self-positioning was too high-end, so that Lan Yu felt that such a trivial matter was not worth trading with Mr. Navigator, so he went directly to Hei Jian .

"Student Lan Yu, why don't you ask me, I want something as good as agricultural technology!" Luo Jia muttered in her heart.

Over there, Hei Jian frowned slightly and said: "Although the frigate is already a relatively small model, since the loss of artificial intelligence technology, it has become very difficult to control the starship alone."

"However, in the Command Academy where I work, there is indeed a set of tutorials for independent control of starships. The main learning objects are agents and espionage organizations. As you know, espionage is a very risky job. If you can't guarantee it, when will you be discovered? , to steal a starship and run away, the requirements for surviving and escaping alone are relatively high.”

"I will try to help you get a set, but it may not be next week, it may be later. As for the payment, to be honest, I am not interested in agriculture. If you can help me find some useful mutant plants, It couldn't be better."

Lan Yu felt embarrassed. The only mutated plant he had was a dragon-seeking vine, which was named by himself. The vine was given by Uncle Rosen in the garbage factory. If Hei Jian wanted to mutate the plant, he had to go to the factory. Those uncles here are gone, and Lan Yu doesn't recognize the others.

Fortunately, Heijian is not in a hurry to obtain mutated plants, and the matter of remuneration can be delayed for a while.
