Heavens: I can hypnotize myself

Chapter 409 Nuclear fusion, energy revolution!

The 25th year of the Wu Dynasty.

The Central Plains region, somewhere along the East China Sea.

National Third Laboratory.

Outside a huge ring-shaped device, there is an observation room isolated by tempered glass.

Xu Yi stood in front of the glass with a calm expression. Beside him were Lu Miaozi, Song Que, Shi Zhixuan and dozens of other high-ranking officials from the imperial court.

Everyone here can be said to be at the top of the Wu Dynasty. Outside, they are all powerful figures who can shake the world with just a stamp of their feet.

The lord of a city who is already at the peak of power in the eyes of the world can only be ranked at the bottom here.

The most important thing is that the city lord ranked last is the city lord of Chang'an City who is recognized as the top of the 68 city lords!
From this we can see how advanced the action gathered this time was.

Even the House of Representatives, known as the Supreme Assembly, is not as good as this gathering to some extent.

The House of Representatives only has a large number of people, but when it comes to the caliber of the participants, it is not necessarily that high.

After all, under the coordination of Xu Yi, although the public meetings held every year were very important, they only discussed the 'minor issues' that occurred every year. Many high-ranking officials with important responsibilities did not participate.

For example, Lu Miaozi, who is in charge of research, has been absent from the House of Representatives all year round.

There is also Shi Zhixuan, who sometimes does not participate in the parliament.

Not to mention Xu Yi.

He has been in seclusion all year round, and even when he has free time, he stays in the palace to relax with his dozens of beloved concubines.

Except for the first session of the House of Representatives, where he attended once as a sign of solemnity, he never participated in any subsequent House of Representatives.

If an ordinary monarch dares to delegate power like this, he has already been completely ignored by the people below.

But Xu Yi was obviously different.

Because he has the power to directly destroy the entire Wu Dynasty!
If at the beginning he only had the strength to fight against the high-level combat power of the entire world, then now he has the power to destroy the entire world.

The two are quite different.

And when a person has the power to destroy the world, the so-called power is completely unimportant to him.

The important ministers in the court, the president of the House of Representatives, the judges of the Supreme Court... they are all just workers.

Their existence is to resolutely implement every plan assigned by Xu Yi.

Is it disrespectful to resist?

Contradicting Yin and Yang?

Take it straight away!

Let another obedient one take the stage!

To Xu Yi, this was just a matter of one sentence and not worth mentioning at all.

Although Xu Yi did not manage any specific affairs of the court all year round, the highest-level and most important decision-making power was always in his hands.

It was not that no one wanted to challenge them over the years, but in the end they disappeared without even a single ripple, allowing everyone to see clearly what the nature of the Wu Dynasty was.

From the beginning to the end, the Wu Dynasty was only the Wu Dynasty of Xu Yi!
As long as Xu Yi is here, this country that rules the world will rule the world forever.

At least at the current stage, no force in this world can threaten Xu Yi's rule - including nuclear weapons that have been developed!
Before reaching the four major limits, nuclear weapons may still hurt or even kill Xu Yi, but after reaching the four major limits, there is no possibility of his death even if he is at the center of a nuclear explosion!

Of course, the possibility of injury still exists.

Although Xu Yi's physical body was already very powerful, it was not yet to the point where he could completely ignore the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees.

If he were to be in the center of a nuclear explosion, if he didn't transform his body into an element-like state, he would probably be seriously injured.

Even if it transforms into a quasi-element state, it will lose part of its true energy and even its physical lifespan.

But this problem is not big.

Who said that theoretically speaking, Xu Yi was already immortal and had unlimited lifespan?
As long as he absorbs a burst of heaven and earth spiritual energy, these injuries can be healed in minutes. Except that the recovery speed may be slightly slower than Wolverine, Xu Yi's vitality is no longer lost.

Closer to home.

Xu Yi rarely appears in the public eye.

This time, he appeared here specially, even accompanied by Lu Miaozi, Song Que, Shi Zhixuan and other high-level officials of the Wu Dynasty. It was obvious that something big had happened.

"Are you all ready?"

Xu Yi asked.

"It's all ready."

Lum Miaozi replied, his voice trembling slightly.

This is not fear, but excitement!
After so many years of research and so much hard work and sweat, today we finally have results!
Around them, Song Que, Shi Zhixuan and others all looked vaguely excited. After years of education in modern civilization, they also knew very well what this result meant!
If we divide the eras of human civilization in past history into the era of primitive civilization, the era of agricultural civilization, and the current era of industrial civilization.

Then the emergence of this achievement is likely to lead human civilization into the next era!
This is an unprecedented change for human civilization!

It was precisely because of this that many important ministers, including Xu Yi, appeared here.

"Then let's get started!"

Xu Yi said lightly.

His expression remained calm, but if you look closely at his eyes, you can see inexplicable fluctuations deep in his eyes.

It was obvious that Xu Yi was not as calm as he showed.

The experimental results in front of him were at a level that he had not been able to reach in his previous life.

It's not that he didn't want to open it, but with his ability at the time, even if he opened the enlightenment state, it would be difficult to solve this problem.

The state of enlightenment also pays attention to the basics.

Especially the requirement for soul power is the top priority!

Although Xu Yi in his previous life had almost reached the ultimate master level, due to the lack of soul cultivation methods, his soul power only lasted 50 years.

Under such prerequisites, even if he could activate the state of enlightenment, it would be difficult for him to solve this problem, which almost the entire power of human civilization might not be able to solve.

In many cases, whether this kind of problem can be solved is a matter of luck.

With any luck, it might be resolved in a year or two.

If you are not lucky, it may not be solved for another 200 years.

This was also one of the reasons why Xu Yi in the previous world finally chose to leave.

Because if he cannot solve this problem, although the world's technology may be able to continue to advance, it will be difficult for the most fundamental changes to occur from the bottom up.

Just like the earth in the 21st century, it seems that the world has been changing, especially compared with 20 years ago, the changes are almost completely different.

But in fact, real scientists all know that the lowest level of knowledge system related to scientific and technological civilization - basic mathematics and theoretical physics, has actually not seen any truly revolutionary changes for a long time.

Even many modern and convenient technologies only appeared in the 60s and [-]s.

However, due to infrastructure problems at the time, it could not be realized.

All current scientific and technological progress is only to verify the scientific theories proposed by predecessors. There is no real transformation in the underlying scientific progress.

Even the current result, thermonuclear fusion, is a scientific theory that was proposed in the [-]th century.

But so far, no country or individual has been able to turn this theoretical thing into reality.

Of course, among the many scientific theories that have been proposed but have not yet been realized, thermonuclear fusion or nuclear fusion is very different.

We all know that human survival requires energy.Tracing back to the source, more than 90.00% of human energy comes from the sun in the sky.

It is the light and heat emitted by the sun that created everything in the world, and also feeds the humans living on this land.

The essence of the sun is actually nuclear fusion.

The original intention of studying nuclear fusion is to artificially create a 'sun' and control the production of energy in human hands.

The nuclear fusion studied by the Third National Laboratory, or to be more specific, is thermonuclear fusion.

The nuclear changes currently studied by the scientific community can be divided into two types: one is thermonuclear fusion, and the other is cold nuclear fusion.

As the name suggests, thermonuclear fusion is nuclear fusion performed at extremely high temperatures; cold fusion is nuclear fusion performed at relatively low temperatures.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and I can't say who is better or worse.

But after comprehensive consideration, Xu Yi chose to focus on thermonuclear fusion, that's all.

In fact, compared to nuclear fusion, perhaps more people are familiar with nuclear fission - the famous nuclear weapons are derived from nuclear fission.

In addition to being used as nuclear weapons, nuclear fission can also be used as one of the energy sources. Today's nuclear power plants are built based on nuclear fission.

Just how powerful can nuclear fission be?

Let’s put it this way, if one kilogram of nuclear fuel is completely released, its energy is approximately equivalent to the sum of 3000 and two hundred tons of coal fuel.

In contrast, under the same weight, the energy released by nuclear fusion is four times that of nuclear fission!
Of course, compared to nuclear fission, nuclear fusion has a greater advantage - clean!large!

Nuclear fission requires the use of special mineral raw materials. The output of this raw material is extremely low, even in the world.

More importantly, as long as nuclear fission is used, nuclear radiation will inevitably be produced, which is an extremely serious polluting force for human beings.

Even the Wu Dynasty, with its average number of warriors per capita, was at best only slightly able to withstand nuclear radiation.

Unless you reach the master level, you can withstand nuclear radiation to a certain extent.

This is also the biggest reason why nuclear fission energy will never become the future.

Nuclear fusion is different.

Because of its special reaction method, the energy it produces is almost non-radioactive and poses basically no threat to the human body.

The most important thing is that its raw material is deuterium!

This word may seem unfamiliar to you, but just know that it can be extracted from seawater at any time.

Although there may be some consumption in the process, the heat released by nuclear fusion for each liter of deuterium extracted from seawater can be equivalent to three hundred liters of oil!
The current stock of seawater on the earth, if extracted, would be enough for human use for hundreds of millions of years, or even longer.

clean!

large!

These are the two most prominent advantages of nuclear fusion.

Besides.

The robot intelligence and interstellar navigation plans that Xu Yi is obsessed with are also inseparable from the support of nuclear fusion energy.

Ordinary oil, electricity and other low-level energy sources are simply impossible to support intelligent robots and interstellar navigation.

Can you imagine the T800 carrying a big battery behind it?

This looks very disharmonious!

Even if this is the case, there is a high probability that this robot will not be able to move for long. If it can last for half a day, it is considered good.

Many modern so-called robots actually only move for half an hour or even less.

The same is true for interstellar travel.

Although the spacecraft can store energy in a larger area, it also consumes more energy!

If ordinary low-level energy is used, it will be difficult to sail out of the solar system, let alone interstellar navigation.

Under the same volume, only nuclear energy, which is tens of millions of times that of low-grade energy, can provide them with the ability to move.

Energy, this is the basis of civilization.

Even the several changes in human civilization are essentially just upgrades in human's ability to use energy.

The essence of industrial civilization is that humans have learned to use energy such as oil and electricity.

The premise of interstellar civilization is that humans can truly utilize nuclear energy!

——This real utilization obviously includes nuclear fusion.

If we only master nuclear fission, it will be like human civilization in the 21st century, which can only control the scope of activities in the solar system and cannot be called a true interstellar civilization.

There is much more to learn about the effects of nuclear fusion.

Such as suspended cars, air elevators, virtual reality games...

It can be said that once nuclear fusion appears, it will be the beginning of the next era!
Look inside.

In a tense atmosphere.

Lu Miaozi took a deep breath and said in a vicissitudes but firm tone.

"ignition!"

The order fell.

Many experimenters, who had everything ready, immediately started their work.

"Order received! Execute ignition!"

"I count to three, press the button now!"

"Prepare!"

"one!"

"two!"

"Three! Light the fire!"

A red button was pressed.

In an instant, a large amount of electricity was withdrawn for the initial 'ignition' work.

At this moment, even the light in the observation room flashed several times.

Nuclear fusion fuel itself is an energy source, but if you need to stimulate the energy stored in it, you first need a large amount of energy to 'ignite' it.

Only after it is successfully 'ignited' can everything follow.

Zizizi! !

Huge pipes gathered massive amounts of energy into the ring-shaped device. Following subtle sounds, a glimmer of light appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Then the shimmer became brighter and brighter...

From the size of a light bulb, it quickly became the size of a football or a washbasin...

Finally, a 'little sun' with a diameter of more than 30 meters appeared in front of everyone.

"Success!!"

"We made it!!!"
