Chapter 291 Changes in the Museum 【Please recommend a monthly ticket】

"Is this..."

After seeing the twisted twist-shaped special device displayed on the booth, Xu Lei suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, and vaguely guessed what it was.

Then, in order to confirm his guess, without any hesitation, he immediately shifted his gaze to the information screen.

Immediately, the content that appeared above jumped into the eyeball.

Name: Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology

Level: Level [-] Civilization

Evaluation: The illuminating lamp of the universe, the symbol of civilization entering the first level.

Influence: 0/1000 million

Collection unit: Science and Technology Museum of Cosmic Civilization

"As I guessed, it turned out to be the controllable nuclear fusion technology that was unlocked this time. No wonder the displayed device gave me a sense of familiarity."

After seeing the information on the introduction template for the booth on the information screen, Xu Lei couldn't help but murmured softly.

I didn't expect that the exhibit I unlocked this time would be this.

The so-called controllable nuclear fusion refers to the nuclear fusion reaction that controls the speed and scale of nuclear fusion under certain conditions to achieve safe, continuous and stable energy output.

The change of one kind of atomic nucleus into another kind of atomic nucleus is often accompanied by a huge release of energy.

The change from heavy nuclei to light nuclei is called nuclear fission, and the change from light nuclei to heavy nuclei is called nuclear fusion.

In the center of the sun, the temperature is as high as 1500 million degrees Celsius, and the pressure reaches more than 3000 billion atmospheres.

The nuclear fusion reaction consumes about 500 million tons of matter every second.

And converted into energy released.

For billions of years, the sun has been like a huge nuclear fusion reaction device, releasing energy endlessly, and its power comes from fusion energy just like other stars.

As the museum says of the technology, it was nuclear fusion that lit up the universe.

In a sense, the fossil energy, wind energy, etc. used by human beings are all derived from the fusion energy of the sun in the final analysis.

With the development of human beings today, the indirect acquisition of fossil energy has been unable to meet the needs.

So in this case nuclear fusion becomes the hope of mankind.

Only by truly mastering this ultimate energy can human beings continue to develop. At that time, those views that advocate that modern industry will perish because there is no energy source will also go bankrupt.

In short, nuclear fusion determines the survival and extinction of human beings.

If it is resolved, the material civilization of mankind can continue to develop; if it cannot be resolved, mankind will fall into an unprecedented crisis.

For this reason, many countries around the world have established relevant laboratories, and have been conducting research on controllable nuclear fusion, hoping to truly control it one day.

However, it is still in the research stage as of today.

Xu Lei knows that the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other overseas fusion laboratories have reached cooperation intentions in the past few days, and they are preparing to gather global forces to jointly launch an assault on nuclear fusion, and plan to realize it within five years.

But thinking that the new exhibits will be unlocked soon, he didn't participate in it.

But I never expected that the booth unlocked this time is the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

I don't know if it's a pure coincidence, or the museum did it on purpose.

of course.

Xu Lei is very satisfied with this technology.

Controllable nuclear fusion determines the potential of human civilization development, and mastering this technology can completely change the energy structure used by society today.

At the same time, develop nuclear fusion-powered spaceships, high-speed trains, and powerful laser weapons.

By that time, building a Mars base will also become a very simple matter.

However, Xu Lei still had some complaints about the requirement for influence, but he didn't expect it to be the same as virtual reality technology.

Tens of millions of points of influence are required.

Although to a certain extent, the effect of controllable nuclear fusion technology on human beings is greater than that of virtual reality, at least the virtual helmets produced by virtual reality technology are not lacking in sales, and can quickly become a global best-selling product. Influence requirements are fulfilled within.

At present, controllable nuclear fusion also needs tens of millions of influence to continue to unlock new exhibits. The best way is to apply it to as many fields as possible.

But we must know that the research on controllable nuclear fusion by human beings today requires huge devices.

This alone presents a number of limitations.

However, the situation has become like this, and now we can only take one step at a time.

"It seems that the influence of this time can only come slowly. Now let me see what is unique about this technology in the museum collection."

At this time Xu Lei's thinking was very clear.

No matter how much influence this technology gains, the first thing to do is to manufacture a controllable nuclear fusion device through the understanding of technical knowledge, otherwise it will be pale to say anything.

After the thought stayed here, Xu Lei naturally didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately stretched out his finger to point on the note in the lower right corner of the information screen.

suddenly.

The original template data content on the information screen disappears.

In its place is the detailed technology of nuclear fusion.

Because Pei Hongyin, vice president of the Future Science and Technology Research Center, was in charge of the artificial sun project of Luyang Science Island before retiring.

Later, it was handed over to the younger and outstanding Lee Seung-cheol to take over.

In addition, Pei Hongyin has always had a strong obsession in his heart, hoping to see the real launch of a controllable nuclear fusion device in his lifetime.

So when I was in the research center, I still didn't study it, and I used the ability of star pupils and quantum computers to analyze and research this technology.

This made Xu Lei somewhat understand.

The difficulty of controllable nuclear fusion technology lies in man-made ultra-high temperature.

Nuclear fission can be carried out spontaneously or stimulated, but nuclear fusion must be carried out under ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure conditions, which is why nuclear fusion is difficult to achieve.

It is difficult to achieve both ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature in a man-made physical environment, but in order to achieve nuclear fusion, it is necessary to create a more extreme high-temperature environment than the sun.

But looking at all the materials in human cognition, it is impossible to withstand the continuous high temperature of one billion degrees.

In this case, the physicists proposed to levitate the fused plasma in a vacuum by cleverly constructing a non-contact support magnetic field.

thereby constraining it.

And by controlling the adding speed of nuclear fusion fuel and the amount added each time, the nuclear fusion reaction can be carried out continuously or rhythmically on a certain scale.

For this reason, physicists also proposed the criterion of fusion triple product.

That is, the product of the temperature density and confinement time of the plasma.

Only beyond this basic value, the power output by the fusion body is greater than the power input to drive the reaction.

Achieve usable energy output.

In today's society, people's research on nuclear fusion is divided into two directions.

are magnetic field confinement and inertial confinement, respectively.

As for Pei Hongyin's research direction, it is the tokamak device of the magnetic field confinement device.

However, as Xu Lei checked and studied the detailed technical knowledge on the information screen, his face involuntarily became serious.

Like something else has been discovered.

I don't know how long it took before I saw Xu Lei finally made a new move.

His eyes slowly moved away from the information screen.

"Being able to be collected by the museum is indeed unique. It seems that Lao Yang and the others still have a lot of detours to go this time if they want to create controllable nuclear fusion!"

At this time, Xu Lei recalled the information that had just been transmitted in his mind, and subconsciously murmured this sentence.

Because this international cooperation is mainly focused on the artificial solar project of the Science Island of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research direction must also be a magnetic field-confined tokamak device.

But this is not the case with the unlocked controllable nuclear fusion technology.

According to Xu Lei's understanding, the controllable nuclear fusion technology in the museum is designed in a composite form of magnetic confinement and inertial confinement.

At the same time, the magnetic field confinement device is similar to a stellarator.

If the tokamak device is a doughnut, then the stellarator is a twist.

Compared with the tokamak, the stellarator can operate in a steady state without the difficulty of generating plasma current.

It is the only fusion device that does not require external energy after ignition.

The tokamak is simple in technology and low in cost, so it is favored by fusion laboratories.

Of course, the device used by Xu Lei's controllable nuclear fusion technology must be more powerful than the stellarator known by the public in today's society.

It can be said to be an optimized version.

The key point that Xu Lei likes the most is that the stellarator does not need a very large volume like the tokamak device.

If it can be manufactured, it will be more convenient for commercial use in the future.

This is also conducive to gaining influence.

To be precise, before Xu Lei entered the hall of the Science and Technology Museum this time, he did not know that he would unlock the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Now that the Chinese Academy of Sciences and major overseas laboratories have reached a cooperation intention, he will definitely not choose to join in the fun, otherwise, wouldn't it be nothing to let those overseas guys lie and win.

Anyway, today's Future Technology is not just established.

It is no exaggeration to say that the funds and resources that Xu Lei can mobilize are absolutely unimaginable.

Especially now that Future Technology has established branches all over the world, even if something is lacking in China, it can be transferred from overseas in a short time.

So the company alone is enough to create a controllable fusion device.

However, the Longfor High-Tech Park does not have the capability of fusion experiments, and it is necessary to select a suitable location to build a nuclear fusion laboratory.

At that time, with the help of Pei Hongyin, a great god in the field, I believe that it will not take five years at all, and at most two years, human beings will be able to completely get rid of traditional fossil energy.

It's just that Xu Lei has one more thing to do before that.

"I have a certain amount of ownership of the space elevator and the moon base. Since we want to conduct research on controlled nuclear fusion, we must not ignore the mined moon resources."

That's right.

To manufacture a controllable nuclear fusion device, the lunar ilmenite rich in helium-3 resources must be indispensable.

Xu Lei was not very interested in this before, thinking that the company didn't need to ask for it, but now, at least half of the meeting is divided.

"It seems that I need to find time to go to Lao Yang's place." Xu Lei's thoughts were running quickly, and after whispering this sentence in a low voice, he was about to leave the museum hall first and go to Pei Hongyin to confirm the project.

But just when he controlled his consciousness and planned to leave the hall space of the Science and Technology Museum, he unconsciously raised his head and looked up.

The result is naturally obvious.

Still nothing changed.

Originally, Xu Lei thought that new exhibits would be unlocked this time, and there should be new situations in the Science and Technology Museum.

The most likely possibility is to open up the space on the upper floor.

But in fact, he has already transmitted the controllable nuclear fusion technology into his mind, but he still can't find the passage to the upper space.

There is inevitably some regret in my heart.

"Could it be that the total amount of influence is not enough?"

Perhaps the museum sensed what he was thinking, and suddenly a light shot out from the wall at the end of the hall.

The stabbed Xu Lei subconsciously closed his eyes.

"what's the situation?"

"I go!"

It was the first time that Xu Lei encountered such a strange thing since he became the cheap owner of this science and technology museum, and it had never happened before.

But it was the strangeness that made him interested.

At least this shows that his guess is indeed correct.

There are new changes in the museum.

Guessing that after a few seconds, the feeling in the eyes returned to normal, and then Xu Lei slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the light was emitted just now.

Almost at the moment when his eyes touched, Xu Lei was suddenly struck by thunder.

It seemed a little sluggish.

"It's an elevator... how is that possible?"

Xu Lei never expected that there would be an extra black door similar to an elevator after the light disappeared.

You must know that he has entered the Science and Technology Museum very many times, and sometimes he will deliberately stay in it for a long time to study the museum. He can be sure that there has never been a device similar to an elevator in the hall.

Otherwise, why would he worry about not being able to find a way to go up.

At this moment, Xu Lei could basically guess in his mind that this elevator might be the passage to the upper space. Although he didn't know what the upper space contained, it would definitely not be appropriate not to try it at this time.

Besides, he has been looking forward to this upper space for a long time.

"I am the owner of this science and technology museum. If there is anything to be afraid of, go up and have a look."

After secretly cheering himself up in his heart, Xu Lei finally made a decision to experience it. If he can really enter the upper space of the museum, he believes that he can get more information.

After making a decision, Xu Lei didn't deliberately delay the time, and just strode over.

soon.

After coming to the elevator, Xu Lei also looked at the elevator carefully.

Looking at the past, there is nothing strange about the exterior structure of the entire elevator, basically not much different from elevators in the real world.

That is, the whole body is black and shiny, almost the same material as the gate of the museum.

Thinking that he has absolute control over this science and technology museum, the last bit of worry in Xu Lei's heart disappeared immediately, and then tentatively stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the side screen.

The direction of the story was almost the same as Xu Lei imagined, and the black elevator opened successfully in the next second.

Expose the empty environment inside.

What surprised Xu Lei was that after he stepped into the elevator decisively, he found that there were no buttons or information screens inside.

This is equivalent to his actions being controlled by the elevator.

Facing this strange thing, although Xu Lei was secretly surprised in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.

Rest in peace and wait for the elevator to close and run by itself.

And just as he expected, soon the elevator doors closed automatically, and he could clearly feel a rising feeling.

Xu Lei couldn't help but get excited when he thought that he would be able to see the upper space of the museum soon.

I don't know how long has passed.

When the elevator reopened, Xu Lei saw a black cabin door.

And the shape is almost the same as the hatch of the hall.

Just a little bit smaller.

But what made him a little regretful was that when he tried to push the hatch open with both hands again, there was no response at all.

In other words, the upper space is right in front of him, but he can't get in for the time being.

"No way, it won't open?"

"Is it because the total amount of influence is not enough?"

After putting down his hands helplessly, Xu Lei's mind suddenly ran at high speed, thinking about the problem.

Judging from the elevator that appeared this time, there is nothing wrong with the direction he analyzed earlier. Only when the total number of influence reaches a certain value will the upper space be opened.

Since the hatch cannot be opened right now, it only shows that the influence is not enough.

It is estimated that the 1000 million influence of the controllable nuclear fusion technology will be gathered first.

He is not a person who is entangled. He knows that there is no way to open the hatch depending on the situation today, so he will definitely not stay in the museum.

Anyway, at least I saw the passage leading to the upper floor.

It's good news.

It is believed that after the influence of controllable nuclear fusion meets the requirements, the folding fan hatch can be opened smoothly.

Also.

After today's incident, Xu Lei feels more and more that this museum is really a space battleship from a higher civilization.

At first, he just thought that the museum deliberately designed it in the style of a battleship.

But now another idea was born.

Maybe the museum is based on a space battleship, and a special high-dimensional space has been opened up in the battleship to stop time.

This actually gave Xu Lei hope.

If one day human civilization can enter the second-level star civilization or even the third-level galaxy civilization, maybe he can really find this space battleship carrying the science and technology museum in the universe.

At that time, it will not be as simple as the owner of the pavilion, maybe even the captain can be the captain.

But it's too early to think about this right now, so Xu Lei stopped wasting time and directly controlled his consciousness and left the Science and Technology Museum.

……

"The harvest this time is really great. It's not in vain for me to sell virtual helmets like crazy to earn influence."

Xu Lei slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, recalling what he had just encountered in the museum, as well as the technical knowledge related to controllable nuclear fusion in his mind, he sighed with emotion and quickly changed his clothes, ready to go to the research center first Look for Pei Hongyin.

But at this moment, Xingtong's voice suddenly came from beside his ear.

"boss."

"Vice President Pei is in your office. He wants to see you."

"Mr. Pei has come to my office. I really mean Cao Cao Cao Cao is here!" Hearing the familiar name, Xu Lei was also surprised. He didn't expect Pei Hongyin to find him at this time.

In this way, it saves a lot of trouble.

"Let Mr. Pei wait for my meeting in the office first, and just say that I will be there soon."

"It's the boss." Xingtong nodded respectfully.

Soon.

When Xu Lei changed his clothes and came to his office, he immediately saw Pei Hongyin sitting on the sofa.

Although he is over sixty years old, he still looks energetic.

The energy in the eyes is not inferior to the young researchers in the research center.

It can only be said that before the ideal in my heart is achieved, the fire in my heart will never be extinguished easily.

And this made Xu Lei more confident.

I believe that with the help of Pei Hongyin, the company's controllable nuclear fusion project will go smoothly.

But thinking that the other party stayed in the research center most of the time and almost never came to his office, Xu Lei was somewhat puzzled.

I'm afraid that the initiative to look for him this time should be related to something very important.

The thought stayed here, Xu Lei simply cut to the chase after greeting, and asked first.

"Old Pei."

"If you have any questions, you can just report to Xingtong directly, there is no need to come to my office."

"I really have something to do here this time." As an old man, Pei Hongyin has stayed in the Future Science and Technology Research Center for such a long time. We have reached cooperation with major overseas nuclear fusion research laboratories to jointly study artificial suns, and I think this is also a very good opportunity for us.”

After hearing what Pei Hongyin said, Xu Lei was also a little dazed.

Unexpectedly, the other party wanted to participate in the international project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

But it's normal to think about it carefully. Pei Hongyin's biggest ideal is to develop a real controllable nuclear fusion device.

At present, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is taking the lead in reaching a cooperation with the world's top nuclear fusion laboratory. From Pei Hongyin's perspective, it is undoubtedly the most likely opportunity to overcome controllable nuclear fusion.

He naturally had the idea of ​​wanting to participate.

It's a pity that this idea is destined to be impossible to realize.

Xu Lei has now mastered the real controllable nuclear fusion technology. He only needs to build a nuclear fusion laboratory to get this device out. When he needs professional help, how can he let his vice president go to other people's projects? help.

So on this matter, Xu Lei refused very firmly.

"Mr. Pei, I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter. The company's new projects will be inseparable from you."

"new project?"

"What kind of new projects do I need to participate in? Why is there no record in the research center?" Pei Hongyin asked in surprise, as if he didn't expect to be rejected.

The main reason is that he does not participate in other projects of the company under normal circumstances because of the special field he studies.

At most, he can give advice to the younger generation on certain things.

What's more, the research center has top talents in various fields around the world. Even if he is not in the company temporarily, it will definitely not affect the company's projects.

Seeing Pei Hongyin's performance, Xu Lei knew that he really wanted to participate in the project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In this case, it is necessary to give him a surprise to make him happy, so Xu Lei no longer plays tricks.

Directly announced the company's next new project.

"This is Mr. Pei."

"I just decided on this project, so there is no record at the research center yet."

"I am going to choose a new place to build a nuclear fusion laboratory and develop our company's own artificial sun."

"Building a nuclear fusion laboratory?"

"Develop your own artificial sun, am I right?"

As Xu Lei's words came to his ears, Pei Hongyin subconsciously asked twice. He really didn't expect Xu Lei to lead the company into the field of nuclear fusion.

After all, these are all state-led research projects.

Although he knew that Xu Lei's character would not make jokes about this matter, but there was still suspicion on his face.
