"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 world.

Future Technology Headquarters.

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

Muttering to himself.

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.

However, 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.

Ushered in great progress.

And 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 looks as if he 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 thirsty 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 at that time.

certainly.

At present, 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 Xingtong 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."

"Under 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-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 pose a huge challenge to factors such as safety and stability.

It is very difficult to actually develop it.

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

But even so, the research company on Qiankun-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 no longer have anything 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, 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 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 routes, 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 genes are successfully optimized and lifespan is extended to a certain extent, it is still incomparable to mechanical bodies.

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, immortality in a certain sense 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 only 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 we 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 Xingtong's voice sounded again in his ears.

"Testing has ended."

"Data information is synchronized, 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 muttering this sentence softly, he decisively exited the virtual world and closed the virtual cabin.

Get 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 ​​Dentian Island continues to increase, 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.
To be continued...
