Technological Hegemony

North America, Washington.

Musk touched the stubble on his chin. Sleepless nights were not a problem for him. He loved Red Bull. Relying on this functional drink, Musk often stayed up late when he was young, and he was used to the upside-down life of day and night.

However, Musk can stay up late, but he can’t stand the boredom. He was called from Los Angeles to the capital overnight by a phone call from the White House. After that, he waited a long time, and he didn’t know what the President was studying with his staff. Maybe it has something to do with Star Technology.

Musk glanced at this waiting room. Dr. Mason from Oak Ridge Laboratory, Dr. Jones from Ross Laboratory, etc., are all old acquaintances in the scientific research community. In recent years, the authorities have become increasingly dissatisfied with the North American scientific research community. The situation is serious, and everyone is asked to come up with a plan to fight against Xingchen Technology. Regarding this, colleagues can only look at each other and smile bitterly. Facing Xingchen Technology, which has been born out of nowhere like a monster, the major laboratories and even NASA have nothing to do.

Because Xingchen Technology has jumped out of the Three Realms and independently become a complete scientific research system. The modern scientific research system was established by the West. They are the rule makers. The most terrifying thing about Xingchen Technology is that they have formulated the rules of China outside the West. .

The most typical example is the Star Journal, this set of top academic journals in the world, forcing many Western scientists and college students to learn obscure and difficult Chinese, otherwise they will not be able to understand it. This is the power of mastering the rules, allowing the world to Carrying out scientific research according to Huaxia's rules is far more important than how many patents Huaxia's scientific research has obtained.

"Everyone, please follow me."

At this time, the President's special envoy Mitterrand walked into the waiting room and asked Musk and others to follow him to meet the President. After going to the office, Musk saw that Sean, the chief of staff, was also there. Sean looked like the end of the world. Ugly.

"Huaxia may already have controllable nuclear fusion technology." The President paced back and forth and said straightforwardly.

Musk frowned slightly, "Is the source of the news accurate?"

The President raised his head and glanced at Musk, "The expansion of the East China Sea to the West is a huge project, and many things cannot be hidden. The core technology they used in this project should be controllable fusion, no doubt! Damn it! Get ahead of those yellow-skinned monkeys! This is controlled nuclear fusion, controlled fusion! This is crazy!"

The President couldn’t help scolding his mother, his face was terribly black, and Musk couldn’t help feeling that the Karman vortex street power generation technology has made China the number one energy power in the world, and now they have mastered the controllable fusion technology, which is the future of space energy what.

From earth energy to space energy, plus space elevators and synchronous orbit stations, the next step, Star Technology should go to the moon to mine helium-3, right? Because of the cheapness and popularization of controlled fusion,

A large amount of helium three is required as a base.

Musk used his powerful brain power to imagine the scenes of the future world in his mind. The starship set off from the home port of the earth and sailed to the distant stars. Musk, who was intoxicated in the fantasy, not only did not feel sad, but even trembled with excitement. He didn't pay attention to what the President was roaring angrily.

Colleagues from the scientific research community in North America are dignified at the moment, and the President keeps pointing his hands, as if giving some kind of order to the major laboratories.

"Musk, you are very nice."

When Musk came back to his senses, the president's broad and powerful hand was already on Musk's shoulder, and he said exaggeratedly: "You should all learn from Musk! It won't be long before Starlink can learn from Huaxia. , and the global communication and network launched the final impact, I think those Chinese people must be very interested in bypassing the firewall and connecting to our North American Internet, after all, no one would not like freedom. "

The President's eyes are burning, but Musk is smiling wryly in his heart. The President and the vast majority of people in the West actually have a huge misunderstanding of China, thinking that all Chinese people must yearn for the sweet air of the West.

This is clearly a mistake.

If you carefully investigate Huaxia students studying abroad, you will find that although they have gone abroad, they are still using WeChat and QQ.

Western culture does not have any fatal attraction to Chinese people. At most, it is just curiosity. If you read too much, you will find it meaningless. It is better to use the barrage at station B.

Therefore, the President hopes that after the completion of Starlink, Chinese people will flock to it, abandon their own network, and turn to become North American customers. The chain may not be able to be promoted in China.

"There are also Dragon spacecraft, Falcon series rockets, etc., all of which are masterpieces of Musk! You all have to learn from him. Only a genius like Musk is worthy of our great Anglo-Saxon civilization..."

The president continued to talk eloquently. He obviously set up Musk as a model and called on everyone to learn from Musk.

"What did the President say just now?"

After leaving, Musk asked Dr. Jones in a low voice. The Ross Laboratory where Jones worked was the first scientific research institution defeated by Xingchen Technology. Over the past few years, he has been practicing with great concentration. Recently, Dr. Jones began to appear more frequently on various occasions. It means that the Lowes Laboratory is about to make a breakthrough.

"Didn't you just listen?" Dr. Jones looked at Musk in surprise.

"My mind was distracted. When I heard that Xingchen Technology has controlled nuclear fusion, you understand that if I have controllable fusion, I can let the Dragon spacecraft leave the solar system and carry out my Mars plan."

"Civilization will definitely be destroyed." Musk said solemnly to Dr. Jones: "Only by continuously immigrating to Mars and more planets can this kind of disaster be avoided, so I was shocked by the breakthrough of Star Technology, and at the same time I was imagining, So you didn’t listen to the president and the chief of staff at all.”

Dr. Jones sighed. Sometimes Musk is an optimist, and the Dragon spacecraft looks like a block, but Musk insisted on sending this block into space.

But there are some things, Musk is a complete pessimist, he believes that all civilizations will eventually be destroyed, maybe war, maybe the greed of the rulers, maybe disease and bacteria, but no matter what, civilization will eventually be destroyed.

Only by continuously immigrating to other planets and opening new civilizations one by one can the earth's civilization continue, because new civilizations are always the most vital, just like teenagers, full of vitality.

"To put it simply, the President approved a special fund of 60 billion U.S. dollars, hoping that we can also get nuclear fusion, and will also launch attacks on China in the fields of agriculture, space, communications, etc." Dr. Jones concluded.

"And agriculture?" Musk asked curiously.

"Why not." Dr. Jones asked back: "We are the world's largest agricultural country, and Star Technology's East China Sea West Project is obviously planning to attack our agricultural hegemony. You may have heard that Huaxia is a strange nation. For the land and agriculture, they have a faith-like love. In order to cultivate, they even spared no effort to cultivate the hillsides into terraced fields."

"In short, the Chinese nation without agriculture has no soul."

...

Huh~

Luo Jia, who returned to Shanghai after the trip to Bohai Sea, dived into the meditation center, logged into the secret net through the virtual helmet, and saw Lan Yu and Hei Jian who were already waiting there.

"Mr. Navigator!" Hei Jian was slightly taken aback, and said joyfully, "It's nice to meet you, I thought you wouldn't be here this time."

Luo Jia shook his head lightly, "I have some things, so I was delayed for some time, sorry."

Now, Luo Jia and the three of them have formed the habit of meeting each other on the secret network every week, and as time goes by, their friendship with each other has gradually warmed up, and a considerable degree of trust has been established.

Although the universe is vast, but by chance, it is only the three of them who have been able to log in to the secret net so far. In addition, the three of them can be regarded as losing their temper, and they gradually become friends, which is also a matter of course.

"Mr. Navigator, the date of departure has been officially confirmed." Hei Jian said solemnly: "In three days, my fleet will set sail secretly to explore Shimmering Star County."

"It turned out to be an exploration mission." Luo Jia frowned and said nothing.

Lan Yu said bluntly: "Your commander really intends to put you to death. Shimmering Star County was once the territory of quantum civilization, and the strength of quantum civilization is well known. Well, assuming they still live in Shimmering Star County, and you meet them unexpectedly, there may be a lot of danger, after all, you are leading an old, weak, sick and disabled fleet."

Hei Jian smiled wryly and shrugged helplessly.

With the help of Luo Jia last time, he escaped from the Forgotten Galaxy. However, because of his status as an illegitimate child, some people still want him to die. This trip to Shimmering Star County is also an extremely dangerous mission.

Therefore, it may not be a good thing to be involved with a big family. Although Black Sword has no plans for the property of the western guard family, some people still refuse to believe it. On that day, it is better to eliminate the troubles as soon as possible, otherwise with the display of Hei Jian's ability and talent, he will become a difficult opponent in the future.

Hei Jian didn't say anything about asking Luo Jia for help. Everyone knew that Luo Jia would definitely help if necessary, and this kind of exploration mission didn't have a fixed goal, so Hei Jian would mostly arrive after he arrived. , first check around.

After telling Hei Jian to pay attention to safety, Luo Jia turned to Lan Yu.

"I'm also going to the water-shaped civilization. Although I'm in the same star county, I'm still very much looking forward to seeing their underwater giant city, as well as those magical underwater plants and animals." Lan Yu told Luo Jia Said: "In addition, Mr. Navigator, I have already prepared what you want. I didn't expect you to be interested in the technology of our plant family. This makes me feel very honored."

Luo Jia said: "Don't underestimate yourself. There are specialties in the art industry. I am an expert in identifying stars and setting navigation marks, but once I leave my professional field, I am just a layman."

Lan Yu was even more happy when she received the praise. Among the stars, the leader played by Luo Jia belonged to a top profession and usually came from a super powerful inheritance family. It was very important to Lan Yu to get Luo Jia's approval and friendship.

"Relevant data and materials have been stored on the secret network server, and you can download them at any time." Lan Yu said regretfully, "It's a pity that we are in the online world. It would be great if we could meet in real life. I can share many The seeds of the plants are hand-delivered to you, and there are also those magical plants with special abilities."

"It's not like today, where you just take the data and interpret and nurture it yourself."

Meet in real life?

Of course Luo Jia wanted to, but at the same time he also understood that the road to the stars and seas of earth civilization still had a long way to go. After all, there were still several essential core technologies that had not yet made breakthroughs, such as the superluminal leap engine.
