Chapter 21 Cold Nuclear Fusion
"Harry, where are you? The completion ceremony is about to begin. And Dr. Otto, do you know his location? You two have been out of contact for four days. Call me back as soon as you hear the news."
The laboratory's electromagnetic protection measures were turned off, and Harry's cell phone finally had a signal.
But the two people in the lab completely ignored their phones.
Dr. Otto had dark circles in his eyes, and his eyelids were constantly fighting, but he was still excitedly staring at the reactor in front of him, with four robotic hands surrounding it like holding a treasure.
The same is true for Harry, but with the physique of a Spartan warrior, his body is extremely strong, and even if he is allowed to survive for several more months, he will not be mentally exhausted.
"Unbelievable!" Dr. Otto said in a weak voice, "That experiment has been considered a hoax for a long time..."
"But right now, it seems likely not."
Harry also felt a little emotional.
The two of them were talking about an experiment at the University of Utah in 1989. Pence and Fleischman claimed that they had used palladium as the cathode to electrolyze heavy water on a small laboratory device and achieved a nuclear fusion reaction at normal temperature and pressure. That is the discovery of cold fusion technology.
This experiment is called the Fleischmann-Burns experiment.
Scientists were of course fascinated by this, but except for these two people, no one could successfully replicate their experiment. In the end, the U.S. Department of Energy wrote a report officially denying this scientific discovery.
Cold fusion has become a controversial technology, and many people believe that this technology does not exist at all.
In Harry's original world, there was no reversal of this matter. Even here, no one has solved the case for them so far.
But Harry clearly remembered that Tony Stark's first version of the Ark reactor used metal palladium!
And Tony Stark could build that thing in the cave. Harry didn't believe that he and Dr. Otto couldn't figure it out.
Facts have proved that in this world, the two seniors may have actually completed a cold fusion experiment, but their experiment was not fully prepared, they did not seek advice from their colleagues, and various funding and equipment problems eventually led to this failure. The experiment became an "academic fraud" that could not be repeated and proven.
With the unremitting efforts of Otto and Harry, they collected hundreds of experimental reports from the experiments at that time, compared them with the public reports of Burns and Fleischmann, and found a truly feasible method of operation!
"To be honest, this is like a dream. So many people have not succeeded, but we have succeeded." Otto still feels light and airy.
"Yeah, to be honest, I'm starting to believe in metaphysics a little bit." Harry shrugged.
Maybe it's because Tony rubbed his hands into the cold nuclear reactor and unlocked the world or something?It sounds fantasy.
However, without the help of Dr. Otto, it would be a bit difficult for Harry to obtain this technology.
Now that they have found a way to produce cold fusion, miniaturizing the reactor is no longer out of reach.
"Technological innovation is really fascinating." Dr. Otto sighed softly after finishing speaking.
"What? Doctor, you look a little lost?"
"It's a bit. I haven't had time to enjoy the benefits of controllable nuclear fusion, and now this technology is about to usher in a new revolution. It feels like...my own child has been eliminated."
Harry could understand what Dr. Otto was thinking, and he patted Otto on the shoulder.
"New technology is also your child, and you should be happy. Besides, I'm not sure how to deal with this technology, and it's too polluting."
What Harry said was true. In Harry's opinion, this technology had greater military value than civilian value.
The decay of palladium is highly reflective, and the rhodium produced after decay is highly toxic.
Harry also needs to carefully consider whether to sell it.
It would be nice to sell it, but if we make this technology public now, it’s hard to say what the situation will be like.
Maybe he should wait until Norman actually becomes the president of the United States, or at the latest a congressman.
On the other hand, he can also consider taking a look at the legacy Howard Stark left to his son.
He still remembered that Howard's model was placed in the CEO office of Stark Group. Now that he had become a shareholder and director of Stark Industries, he had many opportunities to observe the model.
And how Stark interpreted that model, he also remembered clearly - remove the roads, remove the landscape gardens, remove a bunch of miscellaneous things, use the road pavilion as the structure, that is the atomic structure of the new element .
The only problem is that creating new elements in a particle accelerator requires many experiments to find the right parameters.
"The technological singularity is coming soon, and we have to adjust our mentality. I like what you said very much. We still need to continue to work hard. The future is coming, Doctor."
The two looked at each other and smiled. They were in a good mood after having invented a new technology.
"Harry, the completion ceremony is about to begin. Can you hear my message? Your father and I are very worried about your situation!"
Hurley's voice finally caught the attention of the two of them, and they suddenly realized that today seemed to be the completion ceremony of the fusion power plant!
"Damn... Doctor, we have to hurry up!" Harry looked at the time and found that it was indeed getting late, and the ceremony would start in less than an hour!
"Wait a minute, I have to take off my robotic arm..."
"Forget it Doctor!"
.....
"How's it going, Hurley? Have you contacted him?" Norman had just greeted the Minister of Energy and asked about Harry's situation.
"No, he still doesn't answer the phone...Wait a minute, he's calling!" Hurley answered the phone, "Harry, where are you? The ceremony is about to start!"
"Uh...we're driving, about 40 minutes left...no, 20 minutes away..."
"Harry, can you drive slower! We stayed up for four whole nights! Are you sure you can drive so fast!"
The phone was noisy, but Hurley could still hear Dr. Otto's heart-rending screams.
What are you doing?Racing early in the morning?
"Harry, what are you doing? I heard Dr. Otto screaming..."
"Ah, leave him alone, we are tired these days and need to vent." Harry said this unconvincingly, especially since the horn on the other end of the phone was about to pierce Harry's eardrums. "If you are interested, I can take you to experience it in a few days."
"Okay, stay safe, I can handle it here."
The scene was already crowded with reporters from all walks of life, and the big bosses from all parties were already seated, and Norman was having a cordial conversation with them.
Many of these people will become Norman's valuable political resources.
"The facility security check is complete, Miss Hurley." The speaker was Max Dillon, who is now shining in his position, instead of making New York shine like in the original book.
"Get the engineers in place."
After arranging the engineers, Hurley walked up to the podium, and the scene fell silent.
“Thank you all for coming to this completion ceremony today.”
"Today, you will witness the birth of a new energy source, a safe and sustainable energy source that provides cheap electricity to everyone..."
Just when Hurley was about to continue his speech to delay Harry, there was some discussion on the scene.
"Why didn't Harry Osborn and Dr. Otto come?" "What happened?"
In this regard, Hurley can only continue to introduce the benefits of new energy.
Boom!
There was a sudden muffled sound outside the park. There seemed to be a commotion outside?
Four huge arms pulled at the wall, as if a huge monster was about to appear in front of everyone...
Everyone held their breath.
boom!
"Sorry, everyone, Dr. Otto and I were busy with a new experiment, but luckily we made it to the scene."
But the ones controlling the robotic arm are not monsters, but the protagonists of this completion ceremony, Harry and Dr. Otto!
"Sorry, but there are so many people outside, so we can only enter like this."
The laboratory's electromagnetic protection measures were turned off, and Harry's cell phone finally had a signal.
But the two people in the lab completely ignored their phones.
Dr. Otto had dark circles in his eyes, and his eyelids were constantly fighting, but he was still excitedly staring at the reactor in front of him, with four robotic hands surrounding it like holding a treasure.
