Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

In the information age, news spreads extremely fast.

In just a few hours, all the news about what happened in the United States was posted online.

Even the official scarf account of Xia Guo News also released a scarf.

"Similar to the United States, everything Xia does is for the development of mankind!"

This scarf received tons of likes and comments in just a few minutes!

"Good guy! I call him good guy!"

"That makes sense. Everything we do is to deal with aliens! As for who the aliens are... Ahem! We all understand!"

"Damn it! The talent upstairs!"

"Let me tell you, the current situation should be regarded as Arms Race 2.0, right?"

"Be bold and use the word "should" instead!"

"To be precise, it's now the space race!"

"Stop talking, I bet on Xia Guo winning! As for why... we have Professor Lu, but they don't!"

…

Beijing, within the First Ring Road.

Chairman Li sat quietly in his office, with a document placed on the desk in front of him.

The content of the document is clearly the details of the American Pathfinder Project!

"hehe……"

Chairman Li chuckled and threw aside the document recording the details of the American Pathfinder plan.

"Minister He, next, start to gradually reduce the scale of irrelevant industries."

"All resources from the Xia Kingdom will be given priority to the Space Agency!"

He Zhiye, the Minister of Finance of Xia State, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Senior Councilor, this, I'm afraid this will have a huge impact on Xia State's economy!"

Councilor Li glanced at He Zhiye calmly and said softly: "This is an order."

"In addition to reducing the scale of irrelevant industries, starting from today, the export of any resources is prohibited!"

"In addition, steel and various mineral resources are imported from abroad at all costs!"

"Remember! This is an order!"

He Zhiye’s pupils were shocked!

He couldn't even imagine what kind of impact these orders would have on the Xia Kingdom today!

"These measures... are implemented slowly, so that the public does not notice any abnormalities." Councilor Li pondered for a moment and then added again, "The current Xia Kingdom cannot withstand too much trouble."

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

He Zhiye swallowed slightly and shouted loudly with a firm expression!

…

Lu Yongchang, who had been "secluded" in the office for several days, naturally had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

Of course, even if he knew, he would probably just sneer at most.

What time is it, why are we still holding on to the competition? !

Not to mention, at this time, his mind was filled with all kinds of complicated calculations.

The huge desk is already filled with all kinds of scratch paper filled with writings.

"Crack!"

Lu Yongchang breathed a long sigh of relief and slapped the pen in his hand on the solid wood desk.

"Succeeded..."

He stared blankly at the draft paper in front of him and muttered to himself.

On the draft paper, there is a series of extremely beautiful calculations!

He stretched out his hand to rub his somewhat red eyes and took a deep breath.

After three days!

During these three days, except for the necessary time for eating and sleeping, he never stopped writing!

The hard work paid off, and he finally succeeded in establishing a mathematical model of the sonoluminescence phenomenon!

Looking at the mathematical model he had spent so much effort to build, Lu Yongchang filled in the various parameters with an anxious expression.

Soon, the calculation results came out.

Looking at the calculation data on the draft paper, Lu Yongchang's pupils shrank suddenly!

He never imagined that this kind of material would be needed to achieve small-scale controllable nuclear fusion!

Lithium metal!

The various properties of metallic lithium instantly came to his mind.

Lithium, a metallic element, is a silvery-white soft metal and is also the metal with the smallest density.

The melting point is 180.54℃.

From this perspective, metallic lithium can really serve as a "solution".

After all, it only needs to be heated to above 180.54°C to turn it into a liquid state.

Lu Yongchang looked at the calculation results in front of him and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, using liquid lithium as the reaction solution is a bit unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense!

After all, lithium metal also has its own unique uses in atomic reactors.

While thinking about the feasibility of using liquid lithium as a reaction solution, he stood up from his chair and walked slowly toward the office door.

…

"Click..."

The sound of the office door opening immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the laboratory.

"Yongchang, you figured it out!"

Fang Xu's eyes lit up and he took the lead to greet Lu Yongchang: "How is it? Have you solved it?"

Lu Yongchang raised his head, shook the draft paper in his hand, and nodded slightly.

"Hey! You have dark circles under your eyes!" The moment he saw Lu Yongchang's face, Fang Xu was shocked, "You haven't slept for the past three days...?"

Fang Xu's reaction obviously shocked Lu Yongchang.

The movement of his hand suddenly stopped, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch around his eyes: "It's not that exaggerated... I've slept for 10 hours in the past three days!"

Fang Xu looked strange: "...10 hours?"

"Okay, okay, you better go get some sleep first!"

"If you die suddenly because of this, Chairman Lee won't be able to peel off my skin?!"

Lu Yongchang waved his hands indifferently: "Don't worry, it's okay."

"Do the experiment first, we don't have so much time to waste!"

Seeing Lu Yongchang's appearance, Fang Xu could only wink at the researcher on the side with a look of helplessness, and then sighed softly.

"Okay, you are the boss of the laboratory, you have the final say."

"Speaking of which, what do you want us to do?"

Hearing Fang Xu's question, Lu Yongchang subconsciously turned his head and looked at the reaction container placed aside.

He frowned slightly and shook his head slowly: "No! We need to change the container!"

"Contact the factory, we need to order a special container!"

Fang Xu frowned when he heard this.

"Custom-made a container?"

"This will take a lot of time... I'll tell the factory in advance what solution you plan to use."

As he spoke, Fang Xu picked up paper and pen from the side and prepared to record Lu Yongchang's requirements for the container.

"Liquid lithium."

Lu Yongchang's calm words echoed in the laboratory.

Fang Xu's movement in his hand paused momentarily.

The next moment, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Lu Yongchang in front of him with a horrified expression and exclaimed.

"What?!"

"Liquid lithium?!"

"This...this is too dangerous!"

You know, lithium is the most mobile metal among the known elements!

Therefore, the danger of simple lithium is extremely high!

If you are not careful, it will burn and cause an explosion!
