Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

"Master Zhou is awesome!"

On the other side of the perimeter of Fului Pavilion, in the staff passage, Zhou Rui, who had just walked out, glanced at the entrance inexplicably.

Who is shouting the truth out of nowhere.

Gan Yuan saw the boss stop and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Rui shook his head: "Nothing."

His hearing is very sharp now. After all, he is a person who can dodge bullets by relying on his hearing. Even without the [entry] bonus, it has reached an exaggerated level.

He has received professional training and battles wits and courage with drones and rubber bullets every day.

The only pity is that I didn’t get enough experience before coming to Hangzhou. [Crisis Intuition] stopped at (82/100), while [Explosive Power] was (69/100).

The explosive power is easy to say. You can also run and run in Hangzhou these days. In short, you can get it in a short time. At this time, it is more important to participate in the "Science and Technology Expo" first.

He arrived in Hangzhou yesterday and had already inspected all the booths of the "Furui Pavilion" before the venue opened.

In his words, the technologies displayed in the "Furui Pavilion" are impossible to come by, but they are definitely unprecedented.

This is true even if the level of technological development in each era is flattened and only the degree of shock to contemporary people is considered.

In addition to fixed-style booths, there will also be a number of new technology conferences based on "daily themes" and its own rhythm. For example, this afternoon is an expanded introduction of "Life Extension Technology" and a briefing on "No. 2 Compound".

The so-called briefing meeting is to tell everyone that "we have made some discoveries in this direction", "we are preparing plans", and "it is not convenient to tell everyone the current progress."

Then I actually had several injections.

However, this part of the content is usually arranged in the afternoon. The morning time period is free for Zhou Rui himself. There is no need to stay inside the "Furui Pavilion". He plans to visit other places.

There are quite a lot of things that interest him in this "Science and Technology Expo".

Walking out of the staff passage, Zhou Rui looked around, took out his baseball cap and put it on his head. Gan Yuan also smiled and put on a mask.

Her temperament and figure are more eye-catching, but after all, Gan Yuan's recognition is not as high as Zhou Rui's. A mask can basically guarantee that she will not be recognized.

The two of them blended into the crowd.

Since his identity was unknown, Zhou Rui became more assertive and put his arms around Gan Yuan's waist: "Let's go! Let's go to Hall No. 1 first."

Except for the most special "Furui Pavilion", the four major exhibition areas are all standard exhibition models, with each company and exhibitor arranged on their own booth.

Among them, those with consumer products, especially large companies, will be very high-end, while those without consumer business will mainly display their technical level.

For example, the "China National Nuclear Corporation" booth that Zhou Rui passed by at this time was also quite large in Area 1. The most conspicuous thing was a very hard-core nuclear reactor model.

Most people come here just to watch the excitement and admire the feeling of the nuclear industry. The specific content is awesome and that’s it!

Under the huge model, it says "Linglong".

This is a modular small reactor that CNNC is currently developing and plans to focus on commercial use in the future. It is just suitable for displaying it to look for possible orders.

It is said to be a "small reactor", but it is actually 14 meters high and about 10 meters long and wide. The one here is a 2:1 model.

Even so, it is also the world's smallest nuclear reactor, and it is a modular commercial reactor. When it comes out, the difficulty of building nuclear power plants will be reduced by 70%, especially for small countries without nuclear industries.

Like ordinary tourists, Zhou Rui visited the China National Nuclear Corporation's booth. Although he had never studied nuclear reactors, he could tell at a glance that many technical details had been omitted from this model.

However, the information is written in more detail. In addition to "Linglong 1", it also introduces some other technologies, such as the "thorium-based molten salt reactor", one of the fourth-generation nuclear power lines that is currently being tackled.

Seemingly seeing Zhou Rui's unusual seriousness, a staff member in his forties came over and said, "Sir, do you want me to explain it to you?"

Zhou Rui saw his name tag, which said his name was "Ren Yeming". His age didn't look like that of an ordinary commentator, he was too old.

But he didn’t refuse, he just came here for shopping: “Okay, sorry for the trouble.”

The man smiled: "What you are seeing now is a fourth-generation nuclear reactor. To be precise, it is a technical route of a fourth-generation reactor."

"Oh? Are there other technical routes?"

Ren Yeming said: "Naturally, a nuclear reactor has many important components, the most important of which is heat transfer and cooling technology, which has extended to different technical routes. There are currently six recognized fourth-generation reactor routes, including 'gas-cooled fast reactor' , 'molten salt reactor', 'supercritical water-cooled reactor', etc., thorium-based molten salt reactor is one of them."

Zhou Rui nodded and said: "I understand. Are there any mature fourth-generation reactors on the market currently?"

"No, they are all on the road of research and development. However, our thorium-based molten salt reactor is the closest and is expected to be completed within three to five years."

At this time, an elderly tourist next to him who was explaining the explanation suddenly interjected: "Not even abroad? What about the United States?"

Ren Yeming smiled and pushed up his glasses: "No, that's the sodium-cooled fast reactor route over there, but it's 5-10 years behind us."

The old man habitually showed an expression of disbelief on his face, but then he thought of something again and sighed: "That's good. Our country has become very powerful in recent years."

Zhou Rui asked again: "What about nuclear fusion? How far has our nuclear fusion reached?"

Ren Yemingxin said: "We are also at the world's leading level. We are doing both magnetic and inertial confinement routes. Not only CNNC, but also CGN. We are also participating in international projects, and some private companies have even emerged to enter this field. ”

But after finishing speaking, his words became weaker again: "Of course, there is still a long way to go before maturity."

Uncle: "Hey, it sounds good~ It's good if you can study it. Take your time."

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "I understand, there is still fifty years left before nuclear fusion, right?"

Ren Yeming scratched his head. This cold joke in the technology world was really irrefutable.

"In addition to engineering manufacturing and design capabilities, the biggest stumbling block in the magnetic confinement route is strong magnetic field control technology, which requires breakthroughs in superconducting materials, and inertial constraints require optical components and energy collection. Although these are improving every year, they are not as relevant as commercial gap.”

As if he couldn't find any analogy for a moment, he suddenly said: "Just like the gap between me and Master Zhou is as big"

The uncle then interjected: "The gap is quite big."

Gan Yuan couldn't help but look back.

I'm afraid this person is not from Tianjin Wei. His words should not fall on the ground?

The uncle said again: "You have to ask Master Zhou to study this nuclear fusion thing! Maybe you can do it in just a few seconds?"

Ren Yeming chuckled: "It won't happen in a few moments, but if Master Zhou comes, we will definitely rush to greet him, but he is busy in too many fields, and his eyes have not turned to us yet."

Uncle: "Then you have to fight for it yourself, you see, everyone is just a little girl! You get a bunch of big men~, and the leader of Zhou will come here~, the leader of Zhou likes to see beautiful women!"

Zhou Rui coughed dryly and continued walking forward with Gan Yuan in his arms.

I understand. I can bring it myself. I don’t have to go to the booth to find it.

You can still hear the uncle's voice behind you: "Ask your leader to contact Master Zhou, assign him seven or eight female secretaries, and he will definitely come to your unit to conduct research."

Zhou Rui: Oh~ this young man!

What did you do before?

Zhou Rui spent a long time looking at the CNNC booth, which even slightly disrupted his original visit plan.

Many people think that nuclear fusion is a physical problem, but in fact nuclear fusion is an "engineering" problem.

Because there are objections to human beings, the word "controllable" needs to be added.

The principles of physics are so simple that they can be understood at the junior high school level, but how to use engineering to achieve goals is the difficult part.

And even if nuclear fusion can be stable and controllable, if there is ignition with energy overflow, we must also consider how to generate electricity.

Hmm. So conquering the universe is humankind's destiny, and so is boiling water.

After leaving the CNNC booth, Zhou Rui visited several small exhibition areas. This time there were not only giants like CNNC, but also many companies with unknown names but unique technologies.

For example, there is a company that is engaged in "desertification transformation" and has developed a "sand-to-soil" plant fiber adhesive that can quickly improve the geological conditions of the desert. It is environmentally friendly and harmless. After ensuring the water-locking ability, it can be combined with planting transformation. Finally, it can Completely improve desertification geology.

This technology has great potential, but it is not mature yet. The main reason is that the cost is too high and cannot cover the funding and economic benefits of "desert transformation", but the future is promising.

Zhou Rui saw many people talking there, some of whom were obviously willing to invest.

"If you cooperate with the 'God of Agriculture', will the transformation efficiency be higher?"

"Yes, yes! This is the most efficient way to use it! However, the 'God of Agriculture' needs to be modified into a sand wheel. We in Minqin have 5,000 acres of experimental fields, all of which are assisted by the God of Agriculture."

"I remember that the state provides subsidies for this, right? Does it cost a lot to build a factory?"

"There is a subsidy. We are optimizing the cost of building the factory. What do you call it? Let's sit down and chat inside."

The "Science and Technology Expo" is like this. In addition to allowing big names in various fields to demonstrate their technical strength, it also hopes to promote the implementation of technology, find projects for funds, and find funds for projects.

Technology is not an aggregated concept, but a network that covers all corners.

Nuclear fusion is technology, and the transformation of sand into soil is also technology.

The Nantianmen platform is technology, and the food delivery platform is also technology at a special time.

Some sound high-end, and some sound simple.

Zhou Rui actually came up with a few ideas and asked Gan Yuan to write down her name and contact information. There may be opportunities for investment and cooperation in the future.

These small and medium-sized enterprises still don’t know what kind of fast lane they are on.

Or "rocket trajectory" is more appropriate.

After shopping for more than two hours, Zhou Rui looked at his watch and said, "Let's go back first. The briefing is about to begin."
