Chapter 74 The Opening of a New Era

He was very satisfied with the way these young people from the Rising Tide Organization argued with each other.

This is the life that young people should have.

But he was not in a hurry to go out and kill the game, so he let them discuss it for a while.

The launch ceremony for the first thermonuclear reactor to be sold is still waiting for him after it is completed.

But his experience flying to Nevada was not a good one.

Because the plane is delayed.

The United Airlines Boeing 737 he took to Nevada was delayed by almost half an hour, and the service attitude of its flight attendants was very poor. He could clearly feel it even if he was sitting in business class.

Several flight attendants and flight attendants all have Sima faces. The key is that they are Sima faces. They are really Buddhas.

You're late and you still have the nerve to put on a Sima face? To whom? To your father?

He will never fly with this company next time. The experience was extremely bad.

Suburbs of Carson City, Nevada.

This is where the thermonuclear reactor is installed. The square outside the thermonuclear power plant is crowded with people, and a grand launch ceremony is about to be held.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today will be a moment when we witness human history! The first thermonuclear fusion reactor for commercial power generation will be started before our eyes! It will forever and completely solve the world's problems. Energy issue! This is an epoch-making invention, no less than the start-up of the first fission reactor that year!" It must be said that the host Mr. Xie invited for him was very good at mobilizing the atmosphere at the scene.

A large number of reporters aimed their guns and cannons at the reactor in the distance, but they were not allowed to get close.

If it must be approached, the defense robots responsible for protecting the reactor will be activated.

But building a thermonuclear reactor for Nevada has not been smooth sailing.

Before this, the construction of thermonuclear fusion power plants was still hampered to some extent, and the companies that originally purchased it had offended large power groups.

The construction of such a thermonuclear reactor with huge power will greatly damage the interests of traditional power companies.

However, someone helped him settle it.

Xia Yan knew that the US military should be responsible.

He was half right.

The Department of Defense did help him carry out some operations because he would build some thermonuclear reactors for the US military. But more help seems to come from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Or rather, actually from Hydra.

"These stupid and short-sighted guys don't understand what this precious thing means to us humans! We should help them build more thermonuclear fusion reactors." Ironically, these words are from Alexander Pierce. What comes out of your mouth.

After Hydra takes over the world, they will also face energy problems.

So he would rather have someone solve this problem completely before this happens, so that the stall they take over will look better.

About fifteen minutes later.

The reactor is about to be ignited and started.

Its start-up process requires a considerable amount of energy, but it is not a problem to temporarily draw some power from the Nevada power grid to ignite thermonuclear fusion.

"Sorry, I'm a little late because of the damn United Airlines delay of half an hour." Finally it was Xia Yan's turn to speak in person.

"Hahahahaha..." A burst of laughter broke out from the crowd below.

Apparently, he's not the only one who thinks United has poor service.

"However, thank God, I finally caught up. I am honored to be able to personally press the start button of this epoch-making thermonuclear power plant. It will bring endless energy to us humans and will also bring benefits to the world. A better tomorrow!" He felt that he could say a little bit and that would be enough.

"Now, I announce that the first thermonuclear fusion reactor in the history of the earth has been officially ignited and started." With that, Xia Yan pressed the start button.

The process of laser ignition and activation instantly drained the energy from the Nevada power grid, and many electronic equipment in the city fell into darkness.

"What's going on? I don't remember writing this!" A handsome old man looked suspiciously at a TV that suddenly lost power.

Of course, the ignition process of nuclear fusion cannot be broadcast live. There is currently no photography instrument on earth that can directly face the ultra-strong radiation brought by ultra-high temperatures of million degrees Celsius.

So what the people gathered in the square saw on the big screen was the real-time simulation process by a supercomputer.

But it's exciting enough.

The high-energy laser responsible for ignition focused its searing beam on the lithium deuteride in the reactor that was used to start the ignition.

Power supply outages continue across much of Nevada.

The lithium deuteride irradiated by the high-energy laser is instantly stripped of their electrons and turned into free atomic nuclei, which are heated to a temperature sufficient for fusion to occur.

With the help of temperature and light pressure, a small number of them overcome the Coulomb repulsion between each other and start to collide with each other, but the Coulomb repulsion is still trying to bounce off each deuterium nucleus that is approaching each other.

Finally, as the collision became more and more intense (the temperature became higher and higher), the electromagnetic force was completely unable to prevent the deuterium nuclei from approaching each other.

They are tightly bound together, releasing an extremely large amount of energy (that is, gamma rays) at the cost of losing a small part of their mass, while simultaneously breaking apart the lithium nucleus and releasing tritium.

The fusion reaction conditions of tritium nuclei are even lower. After participating in the fusion, a large number of high-energy neutrons are released.

They begin bombarding the surrounding hydrogen nuclei, which serve as their primary fuel.

Under the action of the strong nuclear force, neutrons and hydrogen nuclei are tightly combined and become deuterium nuclei. The reaction conditions of deuterium nuclei are much lower than those of ordinary hydrogen nuclei.

This results in more and more deuterium nuclei participating in the reaction, and the temperature in the reaction area getting higher and higher.

Most of the energy released in this part of the reaction process is injected into the magnetically confined superconducting coil.

These coils generate very powerful magnetic fields that tightly confine the increasingly hot plasma, providing enough pressure for nuclear fusion.

Finally, the energy released by the reaction of deuterium nuclei and tritium nuclei is enough for the most common hydrogen nuclei, that is, protons, to overcome their previous Coulomb repulsion and start the proton-proton chain cycle that only occurs in small and medium-mass stars like the sun.

Nevada, which was about to go dark, suddenly lit up again.

Thermonuclear reactors release nearly unlimited energy into the power grid in a short period of time.

Power was quickly restored across the state.

"Successful!" The crowd in the square burst into cheers.

Everyone knows that a new era has arrived.

……

"Wow, that feels really good, doesn't it?" Stark was dishing out justice in the Middle East today, destroying yet another arsenal full of weapons from Stark Industries, and trying to defend it against all odds. of hundreds of terrorists.

He was in the suit, flying and watching the launching ceremony.

The sultry wow from Teacher Tony on the phone almost made him jump out of his skin, almost making him think that the priest on the other side was about to use his mind control again.

No, there's no Hearthstone here.

At least not for the time being, no need to hear anything sorry, wow, tear it to pieces.

"Not bad. At least no one came to protest the operation of the reactor." How he wished there were fewer idiots in the world.

"Don't worry, it won't take a few days. When the power supply throughout the state stabilizes, they will definitely come. Just get used to it. Let me think about it, well, during the ignition process, the reaction of lithium deuteride will release fast neutrons , it is extremely harmful to the human body. If the reactor experiences thermal runaway, it will be a hydrogen bomb. If..." Teacher Tony began to think about how those people would attack him.

"There is a layer of boron shell outside the reactor, which can absorb incompletely reacted neutrons to prevent radiation from harming people. In response to thermal runaway, the system has a variety of emergency shutdown measures... Stop! You are deliberately looking for trouble, Tony." The key is. , he felt that there would really be people who had nothing to do and came to protest.

"I'm imitating those people's tone. You have to get used to it." As for Stark himself, he has long been used to it.

The Americans and Europeans are the ones causing the most trouble.

Xia Yan still remembers the year he traveled back in time, the group of guys in the Great Brother Country who shouted about 5G to spread the new coronavirus.

Some people can even go and smash the operator's 5G base station because of this.

It can be seen from here that the proportion of NT in Western countries is much higher than that in China.

"Besides, don't worry, those protesting crowds will come sooner or later." As someone who has been ridiculed in protests many times, Teacher Tony is already used to it.

Many people in the left-wing media called him a warmonger. If Tony Stark hadn't shut down the weapons manufacturing department of Stark Industries this time, he would have been in this situation again.

"But I will not get used to them, let alone tolerate them. If they act excessively and threaten the normal operation of the reactor, the defense robots responsible for protecting the reactor will not be vague." In order to prevent the thermonuclear reactor from being damaged, Xia Yan placed it in his A clause was added to the clause that each reactor must be protected by multiple defense robots produced by the Moebius Foundation.

The control authority of these robots is in the hands of the computer, and unless there is an emergency, they are automatically controlled.

Did the protest crowd go too far? Sorry, the 30mm Gatling cannon will let you calm down.

“Mr. In that world, United Airlines has been criticized many times because of air tickets.

Just because of their poor service and attitude.

"Yes, Master." Xie Jing had returned to China once before and took United Airlines.

He also felt that the airline was dying.

A financial tsunami did not break out in the MCU universe, but the subprime mortgage crisis in 07 did break out once.

It's just that all the countries in the MCU universe are fatter and have a stronger foundation, so that the subprime mortgage crisis is not allowed to expand and harm the global economy.

But it is precisely since the subprime mortgage crisis in 07 that United Airlines' service has become worse day by day.

This crisis is not without its impact on the economy, especially the United States.

So, he changed his reservation to Southwest Airlines for his return ticket to New York.

This is a budget airline, and the air tickets are not expensive. Although their aircraft models are older, their service attitude is indeed much better.

It's time to go back to New York and see how much those young people in Rising Tide have learned.
