Chapter 393 The Paradox of Technological Development
After Ye Zhou hung up Chen Hao's video call, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. Ye Lan took him to the mountain to see the stars for a while—actually, he wanted Ye Zhou to take a photo of her under the Milky Way. But the two struggled for a long time but did not understand how to cooperate with the camera's ISO and aperture shutter, so they had to give up in the end.

However, although the Milky Way was not photographed, Ye Lan was quite satisfied with the warm yellow portraits under the night sky. After sending her to take a bath and rest, Ye Zhou returned to his tent, turned off the lights and lay down on the bed. into the simulator.

The first thing he opened was the shopping mall interface. In the last few simulations, he had accumulated close to 300 energy points, and it was time to change to something useful.

What he needs most now is knowledge-type talents, especially things related to quantum mechanics and high-energy physics, but after looking around, he found that the cheapest knowledge-type talent in the field of high-energy physics also sells for 1200 points of energy Point, it is not what he can afford now.

In desperation, he had no choice but to save energy points first. After all, changing other non-essential talents would not bring too much profit.

However, according to the current speed of earning about 100 energy points in one simulation, to switch to the elementary talent of quantum physics, I am afraid that at least 9 simulations will be required.

When these 9 simulations are completed, even controllable nuclear fusion will almost be realized, right?
Thinking about it, this speed is in line with normal logic - theoretical knowledge without a material basis is just a castle in the air, even if you directly give yourself the grand unified theory now, so what?

Can not see the application prospects, nor can immediately change the status quo.

Therefore, whether it is scientific research or technology research and development, we still have to take it step by step.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou clicked on the simulation selection page.

Before, he had completed the two-stage simulation of the little sun, the one-stage simulation of the mystery of life, and the one-stage simulation of the kingdom of omnics. On the whole, the one-stage simulation of the three major plots brought more However, it will take a period of research and adaptation before the high-energy pulsed laser technology provided by the second-stage simulation of "Little Sun" can be applied.

This shows that since the second stage, the technology provided by the simulation has gradually surpassed the basic level of technology at the current stage.

He clicked on the plot title of Little Sun's three-stage simulation, and there were four characters on it: Fusion Armor.

The first time Ye Zhou saw these four words, he almost didn't need to read the introduction to already know what direction it was.

Definitely something to do with the first wall material of a fusion reactor.

The so-called first wall, that is, the layer of material directly enveloping the plasma, is currently generally made of tungsten armor, which has the harshest service environment in a fusion reactor and faces the most severe material problems.

At present, the main problems faced by the first wall materials include high-temperature mechanics, metal activation, welding, plasma control, neutron radiation, etc., among which the most difficult to solve are high-energy neutron irradiation and high-flux deuterium-tritium plasma. Bombarded two questions.

In a fusion reactor, high-energy neutrons are like bullets fired at the material, hitting the metal atoms in the material without interruption, breaking the chemical bonds of the atoms, forcing the atoms to leave their original positions, and leaving spots on the surface of the material. potholes.

And the accumulation of such potholes becomes a damage hole in the macro dimension.

On the other hand, the change of atomic position will continue to accumulate on the surface of the material, so that the process of continuous transfer from the center to the surface will cause the material to bulge, which is fatal to the normal service life of the material.

The cause of the high-flux deuterium-tritium plasma bombardment is more complicated, involving the cyclic reaction of neutrons and lithium, cyclic fusion problems, affecting the continuity of fusion reactions, bringing ultra-high pressure to the first wall material, and affecting fusion safety. sex.

The superposition of these problems makes the realization of fusion reaction more difficult by more than one level. Therefore, in order to truly realize controllable nuclear fusion, the material problem is also a difficulty that must be overcome.

Can this difficulty be overcome with just one simulation?
Ye Zhou was a little skeptical, but then he thought about it. In addition to the first wall material, controllable nuclear fusion also faces a series of problems such as plasma confinement, helium ash loss, tritium self-sustainability, neutron radiation, energy export, etc., so It seems that solving one simulation at a time has become much more reasonable.

However, now he does not plan to continue the simulations related to "Little Sun", because the current domestic technical level is still not clear to pulse laser technology. If new materials are used, it will only lead to faults in technological development. On the contrary, it is unfavorable for the rapid realization of controllable nuclear fusion.

So, he exited the simulation interface of Little Sun and entered the plot simulation interface of "Mystery of Life".

And this time, the second-stage simulation title of the mystery of life is even more explicit than "Little Sun".

"Immune Reconstitution".

Ye Zhou didn't know the details of this technology, but he vaguely remembered that there was a once very famous CAR-T therapy based on gene editing technology that had achieved good results in mouse experiments, but he hadn't heard of it in recent years. Seeing new news, it probably also entered a technical bottleneck.

The immune reconstruction technology provided by the simulator is likely to break such a bottleneck.

Then, after the realization of this technology, whether it is the treatment of tumors or the treatment of existing immunodeficiency diseases, it will bring great help.

Does this mean that AIDS is no longer incurable?In other words, with further development, is it possible to develop a spectral immunotherapy for viral diseases and immunize all viruses with a single shot of vaccine?

Ye Zhou shook his head and didn't continue to think about it.

I am afraid that this issue still needs to be evaluated by more professional experts in the fields of medicine and biology. Before he has a preliminary understanding of this field, he does not intend to start this simulation.

Therefore, there is actually only one choice left for him, and that is the perception reconstruction technology based on the AES system that he has seen before.

The possible principle of this technology is to directly convert various sensory signals, such as light signals, acoustic signals and pressure signals, into electrical signals to stimulate the corresponding neural modules, thereby establishing a "false" sensory system.

Theoretically speaking, this set of technology can allow the "brain in a vat" to obtain comprehensive perception, and the scope of application is unimaginable.

Not to mention the most basic application of helping the disabled recover their functions, virtual reality games, full-sensory movies, cross-space interaction, remote mechanical refinement operations, etc., all have very practical and scarce applications.

Especially at the moment when the ratio of men to women is seriously unbalanced, such a system may even be developed into some wonderful uses.

And this may also be one of the technologies most favored by short-sighted capital.

After all, entertainment is always an instinctive need of human beings
This is the advantage of this technology, but it is also its original sin. As for how to control the development of this technology in the direction it should go, that is not something Ye Zhou needs to consider-this is left to the Chief Technical Office problem.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou felt a little funny, because he discovered a technical paradox.

Those technologies that are most likely to slow down or even stop human development are often the fastest growing, such as fragmented information, short videos, and metaverses that have appeared now.

However, those technologies that can fundamentally improve productivity have not always received much attention.

He sighed softly, and sighed involuntarily:
The starry sky is too far away, but Miss Sister is too close.

Compared with the stars tens of thousands of light years away, the young lady with her thighs exposed is much more real even if she is only on the screen.

Still, there's nothing to blame for that.

After all, even if you are too busy to fly, you can't completely resist those things that accurately grasp the underlying needs of human beings.

It's hard not to love.

Ye Zhou patted himself on the head, and after making sure that all the preparations had been completed, he clicked on the second-stage simulation plot of "The Kingdom of Omnics", and a line of large characters appeared in front of his eyes.

[Story simulation of the second stage of the kingdom of omnics: open eyes]

　Here I will post a chapter first, because the following plot is a whole, and there will be a sense of fragmentation when it is developed separately.

　　Before 12 o'clock tonight, 3-4 chapters will be updated at one time, and the entire plot will be written.
