Chapter 299 Nuclear Fusion Power Plant

"This time there should be no problem."

"Although the volume of the device is still slightly larger, it is still enough to meet the needs of the spacecraft."

virtual reality.

Future Technology Headquarters.

Xu Lei looked at the nuclear fusion power plant that he had just assembled in front of him.

self-mumbling.

In the virtual world, his consciousness can directly establish a connection with Xingtong, and the efficiency of doing things when the two thoughts communicate with each other is definitely higher than in the real world.

But at first he also tried this method.

The power unit that can be designed many times still cannot pass the simulation test of Xingtong.

For this he thought of a new way.

That is, enter the Science and Technology Museum to design a nuclear fusion power plant.

Relying on his identity as the owner of the museum, plus the special bonus of the museum, the final answer to the question he thought of would be easily obtained. The nuclear fusion power device, which had no clue in the real world, quickly disappeared after entering the science and technology museum. Great progress has been made.

And after the design is completed, enter the virtual world for testing at the first time.

In the virtual world, he only needs to create a picture in his mind, and Xingtong can immediately build a near-real model.

It looked as if he had made it himself.

in this way.

In just a few days, he successfully built a complete nuclear fusion power plant in the virtual world through the star pupil.

Its shape and volume are much smaller than that of Qiankun-[-].

Although this is still not up to his ideal level, it can theoretically be used on spaceships.

The main thing is that he has a great desire for influence now. Since the research on the nuclear fusion power device has made progress, he must hurry up to manufacture and produce it to maximize the value of this device.

As for the smaller nuclear fusion power plant, new research can be carried out at that time.

of course.

Whether this controllable nuclear fusion power device can enter the production stage now depends on whether it can successfully pass the simulation test of Xingtong.

Although Xu Lei has greater confidence in his masterpiece this time.

Think there should be no problem.

However, adhering to the scientific and rigorous attitude, Xingtong can only really feel relieved after the normal simulation test.

In this case, the device can be produced as soon as possible, and it is better to contact Wu Chuping.

He also wanted to see what kind of influence increase it would bring when the nuclear fusion powered spacecraft came out and took on the major mission to Mars.

Because they are in the virtual world at the moment, the consciousness of Xu Lei and Xingtong are connected.

Therefore, there is no need for Xu Lei to give instructions in person, just a similar idea is born in his mind, and Xingtong will execute it immediately.

"Begin the simulated operation test of the Qiankun-[-] nuclear fusion power plant."

"testing……"

As Xingtong's voice came out in this virtual space, the nuclear fusion power plant in front of him changed immediately.

First, there was a sound similar to that produced when a fusion power station was turned on, and then a strong blue flame-like energy burst out from the tail of the device.

The condition of the whole device is very stable and solid during operation.

There was no explosion or disintegration.

This shows that the power plant he designed based on the controllable nuclear fusion device is feasible.

Fully capable of large-scale mass production.

Although Xu Lei had basically guessed the final test results, he was unavoidably excited to see the successful operation of the Qiankun-[-] nuclear fusion power plant with his own eyes.

Different from the Qiankun No. [-] large-scale nuclear fusion device used in fusion power plants, Qiankun No. [-] as a power plant is suitable for spaceships, aircraft carriers, high-speed trains, and even future interstellar battleships. In addition, follow-up future technologies will also study micro Nuclear fusion device Qiankun No. [-].

Create the ultimate battery-type energy source that lasts a long time.

However, Xu Lei also understands that the miniature nuclear fusion device is a very big test for factors such as safety and stability.

It is very difficult to actually develop it.

I'm afraid there is not much hope in the short term.

But even so, the research company on Qiankun No. [-] will never stop.

Who let this relate to a part of Xu Lei's future plans.

Standing at this height and status, personally sending human beings to the level of a first-level civilization, this makes Xu Lei even more reluctant to part with this world.

I hope I can always witness the development of human civilization.

But as the saying goes, people have birth, old age, sickness and death, and no one can get rid of the limitation of life span.

On the day of the end of life, all power and status will no longer have anything to do with oneself, and the final destination is the small black box.

Xu Lei wants to get rid of this limitation that has existed since the birth of human beings. At present, there are only two ways.

Either take the genetic optimization route to prolong life, or mechanically ascend.

Judging from the current situation, mechanical ascension is undoubtedly the plan with the highest success rate.

At present, the company has mastered virtual reality technology and successfully produced a virtual helmet, which can connect everyone's consciousness with a computer.

As long as the transfer of consciousness from the brain to the mechanical body is successfully completed, human beings can completely get rid of their weak bodies.

In fact, after the virtual helmet came out, Xu Lei actually asked Xingtong to use animals to do experiments.

However, the brain is too sophisticated, and the imitated mechanical body cannot hold consciousness for a long time, and the final result is nothing more than brain death.

This is also why if you log in to the virtual world for too long, you will be forced to rest offline by the system.

Therefore, in order to truly realize the mechanical ascension, the research on the mechanical body needs to be increased.

As for the remaining genetic optimization route, Xu Lei has not unlocked similar exhibits from the Science and Technology Museum so far, so he does not have much hope.

What's more, even if the gene is successfully optimized and the lifespan is extended to a certain extent, it still cannot be compared with the mechanical body.

Theoretically, the consciousness of the mechanical life body may gradually dissipate with the corrosion of time, but if the conscious body is replaced with a new body at regular intervals, it may be possible to achieve a certain sense of immortality.

Xu Lei is looking forward to this very much.

After all, no one can refuse a powerful mechanical body.

Besides, even if you become a machine, you will lose some of the experience that humans can only have, but this regret can be made up in the virtual world.

If the Qiankun No. [-] micro-nuclear fusion device is successfully developed, the mechanical body will become even more powerful.

of course.

These are currently only Xu Lei's plans.

No one can be sure which way he will go in the end and what he will lead human civilization to evolve into.

At least he won't know until he enters the upper space of the museum.

A lot of thoughts flashed through Xu Lei's mind quickly, and he didn't react until Xingtong's voice sounded next to his ear again.

"The test is over."

"The data information has been synchronized, please check."

Looking at the device test data synchronized by Xingtong in his mind, the corners of Xu Lei's mouth gradually rose, and a very satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Finally succeeded, and then we can officially start manufacturing."

After whispering such a sentence in a low voice, he immediately exited the virtual world and closed the virtual cabin.

Ready to go to the precision workshop for building.

Being able to pass Xingtong's simulation test shows that the Qiankun-[-] nuclear fusion power plant he designed is almost perfect.

It is sufficient to cope with various complex and changeable environments and to continuously output power.

In this way, it only needs to be manufactured directly according to the model, and there is no need to waste time and make additional modifications.

And with detailed model data, coupled with experience in manufacturing controllable nuclear fusion devices, Xu Lei is sure to manufacture it in a short time.

At that time, it can be transported to Dengtian Island and installed and docked with the main body of the spacecraft.

Speaking of it, it is because the rocket has gradually lost its function since the space elevator was built. After all, its cost is much higher than that of the space elevator.

Basically all astronaut spacecraft and base supplies are transported by space elevators.

Therefore, as the area of ​​Dengtian Island continues to expand, a new aerospace equipment research and production center has also been established on the island.

In this case, the time and cost of intermediate transportation are left.

That is to say, the manufacturing conditions for Qiankun No. [-] are not available there, otherwise Xu Lei would go directly to Dengtian Island to manufacture the power unit.

……

……

Time flies.

Soon to the end of December.

With Xu Lei's own hands-on production, plus the help of Xingtong, intelligent industrial robots and some scientific researchers.

The Qiankun No. [-] nuclear fusion power plant was successfully born in the research institute.

Wu Chuping, who heard the news, naturally took people to the place immediately, and wanted to transport this Qiankun-[-] back to Dengtian Island as soon as possible to dock with the latest generation of Shenzhou spacecraft.

So as not to delay the long-awaited Mars flight plan.

"Academician Xu."

"This is the Qiankun-[-] nuclear fusion power plant you mentioned. Can it really turn Shenzhou into a fusion-powered spaceship?"

2028 12 Month 28 Day.

Thursday.

Future Science and Technology Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

Wu Chuping, who came from Dengtian Island, saw this silver-gray nuclear fusion power device for the first time, and he felt something hit his heart hard. The shock was no less than when the space elevator was successfully operated.

Xu Lei saw Wu Chuping's performance in his eyes, and just said lightly: "It should be said that this is the world's first nuclear fusion power plant."

The voice just fell.

Then he introduced the situation of Qiankun No. [-] in detail.

"The specifications of this power unit are manufactured based on the data of your latest-generation Shenzhou spacecraft. You only need to install it according to the operating instructions when you bring it back."

Yes.

When designing this device, Xu Lei asked Wu Chuping for the data of the new generation of Shenzhou spacecraft.

After all, this device was supposed to be used on the spacecraft.

It just so happens that the sizes and specifications match, and Wu Chuping and the others can assemble them by themselves.

It saved Xu Lei a lot of trouble.

But at any rate, it was something that he had never touched before, so Wu Chuping would inevitably feel a little worried, fearing that there would be problems with the device during use.

The main task this time is to carry seven astronauts, galaxy monitoring equipment, and some resources to Mars. The distance between them is not comparable to landing on the moon. month time.

Any problems during this period will be fatal to the astronauts.

Therefore, Wu Chuping must avoid all risks before the mission.

Thinking to this point, Wu Chuping immediately glanced at Xu Lei, with a bright smile on his face.

"The entire space agency has never been in touch with this thing. I'm afraid there will be mistakes in the process. Otherwise, academician Xu and I will go back to Dengtian Island together."

"Seafood will definitely be enough by then."

Wu Chuping swears by it, and even does not hesitate to use seafood as a temptation.

When these words came to his ears, Xu Lei couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect Wu Chuping to offer such a condition.

But he also understands that the other party is thinking about the safety of the astronauts, which is naturally understandable.

But in order to dispel Wu Chuping's worries, he had to reassure: "Don't worry, although this is the first nuclear fusion power plant, it has passed various simulation tests and actual tests. There will be no problems in time."

"There really won't be any problems?"

Hearing the sound, Wu Chuping couldn't help asking again, but he seemed to think of something in the next second, and quickly explained: "Academician Xu, don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning your products."

"It's just that there is still about a month left before the appropriate launch window. If you miss it, you will have to wait for more than two years."

"So this mission to Mars has to go."

"The fusion power plant of such a spacecraft becomes so critical that there cannot be any problems."

Going to Mars is different from landing on the moon. Based on the existing conditions, it is not possible to launch when you want to launch.

Have to wait for the right window.

This way the risk can be reduced as much as possible.

If it weren't for the time left until the next window period, Wu Chuping wouldn't be so anxious for Xu Lei to study nuclear fusion power devices.

In fact, in the original plan of the space agency, it was planned to send astronauts to the Mars deployment base to establish a galaxy monitoring station in two years, so as to detect possible dangers in the solar system in time.

Guarantee the stable and safe operation of Earth and Star.

After all, with the current level of development of human civilization, it is impossible to carry out interstellar migration.

In this case, ensuring the safety of the earth and stars is to protect human beings themselves.

But no one thought that at this time, Future Technology would successfully overcome the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

After Wu Chuping heard the news, he immediately realized the possibility of the nuclear fusion power plant, so he went to Binjiang City to find out the situation.

As for the following things, it is naturally very clear.

Xu Lei accurately stated that it is possible to manufacture a nuclear fusion power plant, and even successfully completed it in a short period of time.

Faced with such a unique opportunity and conditions, Wu Chuping definitely wants to seize the latest suitable launch window.

You must know that to some extent, two years is not a short time.

What's more, the situation in the galaxy is complex and changeable. Even if human beings have initially entered the level of a first-level civilization today, they still cannot fully grasp the changes in the solar system.

The early establishment of monitoring stations and military bases will make mankind safer.

"When will our future technology disappoint, I am waiting for the good news of the completion of the Mars base."

Understanding what Wu Chuping was worried about, Xu Lei took the initiative to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, looking directly into his eyes and assured him with confidence.

Perhaps feeling the confidence in Xu Lei, Wu Chuping immediately nodded heavily.

Yes.

From the space elevator to the Guanghangong Moon Base.

And more recently nuclear fusion.

Future technology has only created one miracle after another, but it has never disappointed the public.

So this time humans will surely set foot on Mars smoothly.

"I also believe that we will not disappoint you, Academician Xu." Wu Chuping also said the same sentence under the agitation.

Due to the rush of time for this mission to Mars, Wu Chuping did not stay too long in the Institute of Nuclear Fusion of Future Science and Technology, and returned with the Qiankun-[-] nuclear fusion power unit almost on the same day under extremely careful and professional transportation. The aerospace research center on Tiantian Island.

-

Facts have proved that what Xu Lei said is not wrong.

When Qiankun-[-] arrived at Dengtian Island, with the efforts of the researchers of the space agency, they followed the operating instructions and successfully completed the assembly of the power plant and the spacecraft without wasting much time.

It can be said that the degree of fit is almost [-]%.

After confirming the nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft, the space agency also quickly identified seven outstanding astronauts for this mission.

And publicize it to the outside world in accordance with the previous procedures.

Post mission announcements.

The announcement accurately pointed out that the space agency will launch a nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft in a month to transport astronauts to Mars to perform various tasks.

This will be the first time humans have set foot on Mars.

And the significance is also very important.

Although the mission to the moon was successfully completed at the beginning, and the world's first Guanghangong lunar base was established.

But Yan Kingdom was not the first to land on the moon.

Now on Mars it will succeed in making up for this regret, and it will surely cause a public frenzy.

Besides.

The announcement also stated that the nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft used to perform the mission is a nuclear fusion power unit purchased from Future Technology.

Once this news was sent out, it quickly attracted the attention of overseas and domestic netizens.

In a very short period of time, it successfully appeared on the hot topic of major platforms and websites around the world, with more than [-] billion views.

Mainly since Yanfang has nuclear fusion energy, it has become the target of global power. He must pay special attention to such a big event as landing on Mars, and organize the media to report positively as soon as possible.

Although they are all envious of nuclear fusion power devices, they can't even enjoy nuclear fusion energy now, so they can only wait patiently at this stage.

Who made it the future technology company that mastered this technology that is related to the destiny of mankind.

For domestic netizens, in addition to being genuinely happy about going to Mars, they are more impressed by the speed of future technology.

Obviously, the controllable nuclear fusion technology has just been conquered.

Not only the fusion power station is already in the construction process, but now even the nuclear fusion power plant has begun to be applied.

If it weren't for knowing that human beings have just stepped into the first-level civilization, I'm afraid they would have thought that they were heading towards the second-level civilization. It can only be said that this is indeed the era of the technological explosion.

So much so that many people even began to fantasize about the scene of human civilization leaving the solar system.

"The moon has been conquered by our powerful technology. Is it finally the turn of Mars? I'm really looking forward to it."

"Future technology is too strong. Nuclear fusion technology has been applied to spaceships so quickly. At this speed, it should not be far from making warships."

"I wish the mission a safe and successful flight!"

"You said that if technology continues to develop, will there be a chance to build a base on the sun?"

"I feel that the first thing to consider is the issue of interstellar immigration. The continued development of technology will definitely not be able to satisfy the prosperity of human civilization."

"Originally, I was a person who had no interest in life, but with the emergence of more and more technological products, I found that I didn't want to die anymore. I don't know when the human life expectancy will increase to two hundred years."

"Aren't you talking nonsense, living in such a good age, who wants to die early."

……

The popularity of the Mars mission on the entire Internet remains high, and as it continues to ferment, many people on the Internet jointly expressed their hope that the mission will be broadcast live globally, so that all mankind can witness this historic moment.

However, due to the distance between Mars and the moon, quantum repeaters may not be able to guarantee the stable transmission of information.

For this reason, after discussion, Wu Chuping and the others decided to start a global live broadcast like the last moon landing, but the live broadcast process was limited to the launch of the nuclear fusion powered spacecraft.

The pictures of the follow-up landing on Mars will flow out in the form of video.

Although this decision did not meet all the requirements of the audience, it was still very satisfying, and countless people expressed that they would watch the live broadcast.

This matter is being discussed on the Internet all over the world, so it is impossible for Xu Lei not to know about it.

It's just that he can't do anything now.

Because after Wu Chuping pointed out that they had purchased a nuclear fusion power device from Future Technology, Yu Hongliang soon attracted great attention.

It's like a cat smelling fish.

The next day, he personally brought Lei Zhan, who was already proficient in manipulating neural prosthetics, to the research institute.

On the spot, it was stated that several nuclear fusion power plants would be purchased for the traditional power transformation of aircraft carriers.

Faced with such an order, Xu Lei really had no reason to refuse, let alone the relationship between himself and Yu Hongliang, he had to agree to it just for the sake of influence.

Fortunately, with the production experience of the previous Qiankun No. [-], the efficiency of manufacturing it later will be much higher.

Anyway, the materials are absolutely sufficient.

The time taken by each Qiankun-[-] nuclear fusion power unit is definitely shorter than before.

In addition, Xu Lei doesn't have to take charge of it himself.

Let Xingtong control the quality of each component and assist the scientific researchers involved in the manufacture of Qiankun-[-].

And as time passed day by day, when Dengtian Island was about to launch the space elevator to transport astronauts and nuclear fusion powered spacecraft to perform the Mars landing mission, good news finally came from Pei Hongyin's side.

With the joint efforts of various departments and the power grid, the fusion power station located on the outskirts of Binjiang City has finally been successfully built.

The first operational test of the fusion power plant is about to take place.

At that time, the province will face a brief blackout, and then the fusion power station will provide the province's electricity.

For such a historic moment, Xu Lei must be present to participate in person.

And Xu Lei is also waiting for this day to come, because when the fusion power station using controllable nuclear fusion technology is successfully operated to provide electricity for the whole province, it will serve tens of millions of people.

It is believed that the influence of the museum's controllable fusion technology exhibits will usher in a very large increase.
