My science and technology museum

"There should be no problem this time."

"Although the size of the device is still a little larger, it is enough to meet the needs of the spacecraft."

virtual reality.

Future Technology Headquarters.

Xu Lei looked at the nuclear fusion power device that he had just assembled.

self-mumbling.

In the virtual world, his consciousness can directly connect with Xingtong. With the two minds interconnected, the efficiency of doing things will definitely be higher than in the real world.

But he also tried this method at the beginning.

But the power device designed many times still failed to pass Xingtong's simulation test.

He thought of a new way to do this.

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

Relying on his identity as the museum owner and the special bonus of the museum, he can easily get the final answer to the question he is thinking about. The nuclear fusion power device, which originally had no clue in the real world, soon became clear after entering the Science and Technology Museum. Ushering in great progress.

After the design is completed, enter the virtual world for testing immediately.

In the virtual world, he only needs to generate images in his mind, and Xingtong can immediately build an almost real model.

It looked as if he had made it with his own hands.

In this way.

In just a few days, he successfully constructed a complete nuclear fusion power device in the virtual world through Xingpu.

Its appearance and volume are much smaller than Qiankun No.1.

Although this still did not reach his ideal level, it could theoretically be used on a spaceship.

The main reason is that he is now very hungry for influence. Since the research on nuclear fusion power devices has made progress, he must seize the time to manufacture and produce this device to maximize its value.

As for smaller nuclear fusion power devices, new research can be conducted by then.

certainly.

Whether this controllable nuclear fusion power device can enter the production stage depends on whether it can successfully pass Xingpu's simulation test.

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

I don't think there should be any problems.

However, adhering to a scientific and rigorous attitude, Xingtong can really feel relieved after normal simulation tests.

In this case, we can produce this device as soon as possible and contact Wu Chuping.

He also wants to see what kind of influence will increase when the nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft comes out and undertakes the major mission to Mars.

Because they are in the virtual world at this moment, the consciousnesses of Xu Lei and Xing Tong are connected.

Therefore, there is no need for Xu Lei to personally issue the order. As long as a similar idea is born in his mind, Xingtong will execute it immediately.

"Start the simulated operation test of the Qiankun-2 nuclear fusion power device."

"testing……"

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

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

The entire device is very stable and solid during operation.

There was no explosion or disintegration.

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

It is fully capable of large-scale mass production.

Although Xu Lei had basically guessed the final test results, he was inevitably a little excited and happy to see the Qiankun-2 nuclear fusion power plant successfully operating with his own eyes.

Different from the Qiankun-1 large-scale nuclear fusion device used in fusion power plants, the applicable scenarios for Qiankun-2 as a power device are spaceships, aircraft carriers, high-speed trains, and even future interstellar battleships. In addition, future technology will also study micro Nuclear fusion device Qiankun No.3.

Creating the ultimate battery-type energy source that can be used for extended periods of time.

However, Xu Lei also understands that micro-nuclear fusion devices are a great test for factors such as safety and stability.

It is very difficult to actually develop it.

I'm afraid there isn't much hope in the short term.

But even so, the research company on Qiankun No. 3 will never stop.

Who let this be related to Xu Lei's future plan?

Standing at this height and status, and personally sending humans to the level of first-level civilization, Xu Lei became more and more nostalgic for this world.

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

But as the saying goes, people are subject to birth, aging, illness and death, and no one can escape the limitation of life span.

On the day when life ends, all rights and status will have nothing to do with oneself. In the end, the square little black box will be the final destination.

If Xu Lei wants to get rid of this restriction that has existed since the birth of human beings, there are currently only two ways.

Either take the genetic optimization route to extend lifespan, or mechanically ascend.

Judging from the current situation, mechanical ascension is undoubtedly the solution that seems to have the highest success rate.

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

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

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

However, the brain is too sophisticated, and the imitation mechanical body cannot contain consciousness for a long time. 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 take an offline break by the system.

Therefore, if we want to truly realize mechanical ascension, research on mechanical bodies needs to be increased.

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

What's more, even if the genes are successfully optimized and the life span is extended to a certain extent, it is still incomparable to the mechanical body.

Theoretically, the consciousness of a mechanical life form may gradually dissipate as time corrodes, but if the conscious body is regularly replaced with a new body, a certain sense of immortality may be achieved.

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 and lose part of the experience that only humans can have, this regret can be made up for in the virtual world.

If the Qiankun No. 3 micro-nuclear fusion device is successfully developed, the mechanical body will become even more powerful.

certainly.

These are currently Xu Lei's plans.

No one can be sure which path they will take in the end, and how they will lead human civilization to evolve.

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, and he didn't react until Xing Tong's voice sounded again in his ears.

"The test is over."

"Data information synchronization completed, please check."

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

"We finally succeeded, and we can officially start manufacturing next."

After whispering this sentence softly, he decisively 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 2 nuclear fusion power device he designed is almost perfect.

It is enough to cope with various complex and changeable environments and provide continuous power output.

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

And with detailed model data and experience in manufacturing controllable nuclear fusion devices, Xu Lei is confident that he can build it in a short time.

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

It seems that since the space elevator was built, the rocket has gradually lost its effectiveness. After all, its cost is much higher than that of the space elevator.

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

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

This leaves only the time and cost of intermediate transportation.

That is to say, there is no manufacturing conditions for Qiankun No. 2 there, otherwise Xu Lei would go directly to Dentian Island to manufacture the power unit.

…

…

Time flies.

Fast forward 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-2 nuclear fusion power device was successfully born in the research institute.

After learning the news, Wu Chuping naturally led people to the place as soon as possible, hoping to transport the Qiankun 2 back to Dengtian Island to dock with the latest generation Shenzhou spacecraft.

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

"Academician Xu."

"This is the Qiankun-2 nuclear fusion power device you are talking about. Can it really turn Shenzhou into a fusion-powered spacecraft?"

December 28, 2028.

Thursday.

Future Technology Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

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

The words just fell.

Then he introduced the situation of Qiankun No. 2 in detail.

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

Yes.

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

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

It just so happens that the size and specifications are now consistent, and Wu Chuping and the others can assemble it by themselves.

It saved Xu Lei a lot of trouble.

But since it was something he had never come into contact with before, Wu Chuping was inevitably a little worried, fearing that the device would have problems during use.

The main mission this time is to carry seven astronauts, galaxy monitoring equipment and some resources to Mars. The distance is not comparable to the moon landing. Even if orbital flight is avoided with the help of nuclear fusion power, it will still cost almost two months. months time.

No matter what happens during this period, it will be fatal to the astronauts.

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

When his thoughts reached this point, Wu Chuping immediately glanced at Xu Lei with a bright smile on his face.

"The entire space agency has never been exposed to this thing. I'm afraid there will be mistakes in the process. Otherwise, Academician Xu You and I should go back to Dentian Island together."

"We will definitely have enough seafood by then."

Wu Chuping promised steadfastly, and even did not hesitate to use seafood to tempt him.

When these words reached his ears, Xu Lei was dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Wu Chuping even offered such conditions.

However, he also understood that the other party was thinking about the safety of the astronauts, and he could understand this.

But in order to let Wu Chuping dispel his worries, he had to reassure him: "You can rest assured. Although this is the first nuclear fusion power device, it has passed various simulation tests and actual tests. Under normal circumstances, even if it is not maintained for several years, There will be no problems within the time frame.”

"There really won't be any problems?"

Wu Chuping couldn't help but ask another question after hearing the sound, but the next second he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly explained: "Academician Xu, please don't misunderstand, I am not questioning your product."

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

"So this mission to Mars must go ahead."

"In this way, the nuclear fusion power device of the spacecraft becomes crucial and there cannot be any problems."

Going to Mars is different from landing on the moon. Under the current conditions, it is not possible to launch whenever you want.

Have to wait for the right window.

This way you can reduce the risk as much as possible.

If there wasn't much time left before the next window period, Wu Chuping wouldn't be so anxious to get Xu Lei to research nuclear fusion power devices.

In fact, the space agency's initial plan was to send astronauts to the Mars deployment base to establish a galaxy monitoring station two years later, so as to promptly discover possible dangers in the solar system.

Ensure the stable and safe operation of Earth Star.

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

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

But no one expected that at this time, Future Technology would successfully conquer controllable nuclear fusion technology.

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

As for what happens next, it is naturally very clear.

Xu Lei accurately stated that he could create a nuclear fusion power device, and even successfully completed it in a short period of time.

Faced with such unique opportunities and conditions, Wu Chuping definitely wants to seize the nearest 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 first-level civilization today, they still cannot grasp all the changes in the solar system.

If monitoring stations and military bases are established early, humans will be safer.

"When has our future technology ever disappointed people? I'm waiting for the good news about the completion of the Mars base."

Understanding Wu Chuping's concerns, Xu Lei took the initiative to reach out and patted the other party's shoulder, looked directly into his eyes and assured him confidently.

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

yes.

From the space elevator to the Guanghan Palace lunar base.

And then to the recent nuclear fusion.

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

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

"I also believe that we will not disappoint you, Academician Xu." Wu Chuping also said the same sentence in an emotional state.

Because the Mars mission was too tight in terms of time, Wu Chuping did not stay too long at the Future Science and Technology Fusion Institute. He returned almost the same day with the Qiankun 2 nuclear fusion power unit under extremely careful and professional transportation. The aerospace research center on Dentian Island.

——

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

When Qiankun 2 arrived at Dentian Island, with the efforts of the space agency's researchers, the assembly of the power unit and spacecraft was successfully completed according to the operating instructions without wasting much time.

It can be said that the adaptability is almost 100%.

After confirming the nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft, the space agency quickly identified seven outstanding astronauts to carry out the mission.

And make announcements to the outside world in accordance with previous procedures.

Post task announcements.

The announcement accurately stated that the space agency will launch a nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft one month later to transport astronauts to Mars to perform various missions.

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

And the significance is also very important.

Although it successfully completed the moon landing mission and established the world's first Guanghan Palace lunar base.

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

Now that this regret will be successfully remedied on Mars, it will inevitably arouse enthusiastic public celebrations.

besides.

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

As soon as this news was sent out, it quickly attracted the attention of netizens at home and abroad.

In a very short period of time, it successfully became a hot search topic on major platforms and websites around the world, with more than 10 billion views.

Mainly since Yanfang possesses nuclear fusion energy, it has become the target of global power. It will definitely 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 all covet nuclear fusion power devices, they are still unable to enjoy nuclear fusion energy. At this stage, they can only wait patiently.

Who said that it was the Future Technology Company that mastered this technology related to the destiny of mankind?

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

Obviously, controllable nuclear fusion technology has just been conquered.

Not only are fusion power plants already in the process of construction, but now even nuclear fusion power devices have begun to be used.

If we hadn't known that mankind had just entered the first-level civilization, I might have thought that it was heading towards the second-level civilization. It can only be said that this is indeed an era of technological explosion.

So many people have even begun to fantasize about the scenario of human civilization leaving the solar system.

"The moon has been conquered by our powerful technology, and now it's finally Mars' turn. I'm really looking forward to it."

"The technology of the future is too powerful. Nuclear fusion technology has been applied to spaceships so quickly. At this rate, we should not be far from building warships."

"I wish this flight mission is safe and smooth!"

"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 consideration is the issue of interstellar immigration. If technology continues to develop, the earth and stars will definitely not be able to satisfy the prosperity of human civilization."

"Originally I was a person who had no interest in life, but as more and more technological products appeared, I found that I didn't want to die anymore. I wonder when the human life span will be increased to two hundred years."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who wants to die early when living in such a good era?"

…

The enthusiasm about the Mars mission remains high across the Internet, and as it continues to ferment, many people on the Internet have jointly expressed their hope that the mission can 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 stable transmission of information.

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

Subsequent footage of the Mars landing will be released in video form.

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

The entire global network is talking about this matter, and it is naturally impossible for Xu Lei not to know about it.

But he can't do anything now.

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

It's like a cat smelling fish.

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

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

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

Fortunately, with the previous production experience of the Qiankun No. 2, the efficiency of manufacturing will be much higher later.

Anyway, all materials are absolutely sufficient.

The time used by each Qiankun-2 nuclear fusion power device is definitely shorter than before.

In addition, Xu Lei does not have to take responsibility personally.

Just leave it to Xingtong to control the quality of each component and assist the scientific researchers involved in the manufacturing of Qiankun 2.

As time passed day by day, just as the space elevator on Dentian Island was about to launch to transport astronauts and nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft to carry out the Mars landing mission, good news finally came from Pei Hongyin.

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

The first operational tests of the fusion power plant are about to take place.

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

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

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 power for the entire province, then it will serve tens of millions of people.

I believe that the influence of the museum’s controllable nuclear fusion technology exhibits will then experience a very large increase.
