Zhou Xiangnan had just finished eating and was playing games with his pregnant girlfriend.
As a turtle with overseas scientific research experience, he has developed a good habit - unless he is really interested, he must get off work when it is time. There is no need to stay in the laboratory all day just to do some face-saving work.
inside.
Coupled with the provincial government's large-scale enrollment expansion this year, as a young teacher and associate professor, he will also have to take classes and teach graduate students in the second half of the year. After becoming a teacher, he will definitely have less and less time.
Now while I am not busy with work, it would be best to spend more time with my wife.
The game they play is an online social game based on the Yinta platform. It is a development and construction game from scratch developed by an unknown small domestic company based on the setting of "Minecraft".
Zhou Xiangnan likes to play because the game is developed based on the Aita architecture, and all the "knowledge" mastered by Aita is naturally built into it.
In this game that completely simulates real-world scenes and physical rules, knowledge is really wealth.
As a materials scientist, Zhou Xiangnan was at ease in it, and he quickly synthesized many rare materials - such as special steel used to make giant steel ships, such as aviation aluminum.
Theoretically, in this game, you can build everything according to the rules in reality. Then the rich boss will naturally not be stingy with real money to satisfy himself in building an invincible fleet or kingdom in the virtual world.
"Lao Zhou, I still need rubber when building a car. Do you have any?"
"sold out."
"Who the hell are you? You sell rubber?" The wife's voice rang in her ears: "Everyone else just throws money into games, but you're better off supporting your family in Hukou? - How much did you sell it for?
?”
"Hahaha, if the game currency is converted into RMB, it's about one yuan and eighty."
"……I really admire you."
Following his wife's voice, Zhou Xiangnan cut out the game and opened the VR system interface - in fact, it is similar to a 3D desktop, where all operations and tasks on the flat monitor can be completed.
He wanted to collect game coins because he wanted to design a deuterium-tritium fusion engine in the game.
The game is no different from reality. Rare earth is a very common material, and Dysprosium has also been synthesized... So in theory, within the scope of Aita's computing power and rules, it is no problem to create a controllable nuclear fusion engine.
of.
When he opened the built-in search engine, a piece of news on Aita's homepage instantly caught his eye.
——"The first ignition experiment of the helium-3 fusion reactor of the Kuafu Project was a complete success"
After he was stunned for a moment, he opened the page instantly.
The content of the news is very simple, even crude.
"Recently, the controllable nuclear fusion Kuafu project team located in Jiangcheng has once again achieved great results. China's controllable nuclear fusion scientific research has achieved significant results. It achieved the ignition experiment of helium-3 fusion for the first time and set a record of continuous operation for 5 hours. This It marks that my country’s controllable nuclear fusion is once again leading the international level.”
After reading it in a few glances, he immediately took a deep breath.
"Grass! Ye always runs to light the fire!"
"Mr. Ye, what's wrong?"
Zhou Xiangnan took off his glasses, took off his wife's glasses, and then opened the browser on his laptop.
Needless to say, this kind of news must be on the home page.
…
East Eighth District time, April 15, 7 pm.
A piece of news was broadcast on the news channel in text message mode. Subsequently, major news media accounts followed suit, and within ten minutes, it spread throughout the entire Chinese social network platform.
As soon as the news came out, the majority of netizens who had been posting "previews" a few days ago suddenly burst into laughter.
"Nothing else, I just think Kuafu is awesome."
"Now the turn has come to the American side."
"Ambush him! Okay, it's a good ambush."
"Can you please reveal a little more information? Is it possible to generate electricity, or is it a fusion engine?"
…
Of course Zhou Xiangnan did not continue the game.
He returned to the study and clicked on Zhihu.
There is no mistaking the news. Less than 30 minutes after the news came out, it went directly to the top of the hot list.
There are very few replies below, and many are one-sentence answers.
So far, the most popular one has only one word and an exclamation point.
"Cool!"
Obviously, the emotions of netizens are understandable.
A few days ago, people all over the Internet were commenting angrily on "how to view" the news that the United States was about to ignite helium-3 fusion... But today, suddenly the Kuafu Group broke a big news.
Are you saying you're not excited?
That's obviously impossible.
The same is true for Zhou Xiangnan.
But as a big V, he still has to cherish his "feathers" and write something different.
After all... "everyone" knows that he and Ye Ming are in the same unit.
He even knew that Ye Ming had also followed his Zhihu account, and would often ask questions during chats - for example, Ye Ming once teased him, saying that the quality of his answers had declined.
Tell me, how dare he answer randomly?
After taking a deep breath, he began to write his answer.
“I’ve caught up with the first round of seats.”
"I took a look at the private message and I'm sorry. Professor Ye is really busy. I really don't have any inside information. I got the information from the news just like everyone else."
"So, my mood is the same as everyone's."
"The difficulty and significance of realizing helium-3 fusion have become commonplace questions in past answers. If you are interested, you can take a look at my previous answers, followed by links."
"I would like to talk about the motivation behind why the Kuafu group suddenly announced the experimental results this time - first of all, let me state that this is purely my personal speculation."
"We know that since the United States started to gather small groups, many technical progress has no longer been announced. For example, a few days ago, the United States only announced the ignition notice. Before that, we had no information on the progress of the Helium 3 fusion project in the United States.
Nothing."
"We must have a clear awareness that competition has now become open, and even judging from the previous trade and the actions of various organizations, it is heading in the direction of intensification."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "When the space program was proposed, I mentioned that we would repeat the tactics used during the Cold War in the 1960s, 1980s and 1980s.
once."
"Now it seems that they are indeed going down this path unswervingly - whether it is the space program, or a few small groups, or the Maple Leaf Kingdom's previous use of our tritium, helium 3 and other materials
Whether it is cutting off supply, or Musk popping up occasionally to express that he is one step closer to landing on Mars..."
"And a few days ago, the plan for helium 3 fusion was announced."
"All this shows that the United States is relying on its inherent rhythm and skillful means to repeat the story of the past and strengthen the confidence of its allies - you may have forgotten that last year, when Jiangcheng held the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Alliance Conference
, many countries have signed cooperation agreements with us."
"But the latest news is that whether in Europe or Australia, the partners for cooperation in controllable nuclear fusion power plants are the United States and not us."
"So, this time the Kuafu Group announced the success of helium-3 fusion before the ignition in the United States. In my opinion, it means more that the country's attitude towards this kind of competition has changed."
"From the passive response in the past to the active challenge now."
"I'll make a bold guess - don't blame me if I'm wrong - we may receive more similar good news in the future."
…
…
after one day.
"How do they accomplish it?"
"Is it that someone? Did you help them in the past?"
"And tell me, is that an engine or a generator?"
The owner of the white house was like an old lion, waving a document in his hand and roaring angrily at a group of scientific advisers.
Everyone was silent.
Of course everyone knows the news about the successful helium-3 fusion opposite.
If that's all...it's nothing more than being taken advantage of - and he only took the lead after he announced the ignition time.
Frankly speaking, this kind of "ambush" method is not very good and is not magnanimous.
What's terrible are several photos from the "Space-Based Infrared System" high-orbit early warning satellite.
There is no doubt that in the entire spy system, Jiangcheng is a key observation target. Not only are various high-definition satellites patrolling at all times, but infrared early warning satellites are also keeping an eye on it.
The so-called space-based infrared early warning refers to the use of infrared remote sensing satellites to monitor infrared images of key areas in real time. Once the tail flame of the missile is detected when it takes off, the early warning system will be transmitted to the X-Point Building, and then an emergency plan will be initiated.
This is also a link in the entire missile defense system.
And just yesterday, an infrared satellite captured a "terrible" tail flame at a base in Jiangcheng.
The reason why it is scary is that the tail flame lasts for up to two hours, and... it cannot appear on all current thrusters!
Combined with the name of the base and the news that the other party announced that the experiment was successful...
Then there is only one possibility.
What they were experimenting with was not just a helium-3 fusion reaction, but a helium-3 fusion engine!
"Who answers me."
The master put his hands on his waist and stared at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Professor White.
Professor White was silent and frowned.
Of course he also looked at the photos and data.
There is no doubt that it is the tail flame of the controllable nuclear fusion engine.
When he thought about the project he took over from his mentor...it was the engine from the beginning, he felt a sense of reluctance.
This is a feat that should be accomplished by yourself!
In the silence, another voice sounded.
"So, the space program, flying into space is the key."
Musk looked at the owner of the white house.
"The fact that they have realized the fusion engine means that they have the ability to develop space resources."
"So I suggest that NASA convene a global space cooperation plan and invite them to jointly formulate a treaty on space development, especially the development and utilization of lunar resources."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Musk said solemnly: "Their eyes must be on the moon."
"Why?"
"Because their chief designer Ye Ming's ambition is the moon. If they are not allowed to sign a development agreement... then the Artemis project must be completed as soon as possible. At the very least, it must be before they land on the moon with a spaceship.
Finish."
"We need to know that a fusion engine carries a factory to the sky in one flight."
In silence, the NASA official nodded slowly.
"Then the Artemis project will no longer be postponed. We must go up there next year."
Look at from black technology to super engineering.8.2...m.:
