Start a Subspace

So like this, time passed quickly, and soon six months passed...

Stable and hopeful days, a fair social system, and almost everyone's heart is filled with a feeling called happiness.

Even Zhang Ran is no exception, he enjoys the feeling of civilization development very much.

In particular, the development of this large ship has created a large number of jobs, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need. .

For the current Kunlun Mountain government, stable development is still the first priority. So how to create more jobs is a headache.

The current situation is that there are many low-end jobs and few high-end jobs. The population in Kunlun Mountains generally has a relatively high overall quality, after all, they were carefully selected under the apocalypse.

For these people, it's okay to do some heavy and tiring work, and they are almost used to it anyway.

But who would not want to regain their ideals and engage in more important work?

Therefore, the development of the big ship has created more high-end jobs, and more and more workers have started to study again, determined to become a space worker suitable for the development of the times.

...

It was also on an ordinary day that another major event broke out inside Kunlun Mountain!

is a good thing.

There has been a major breakthrough in the controllable nuclear fusion project!

Even in the past two years, with good news coming in and news reports showing a lot of…

But this time, it is really not limited to news reports that attract people's attention, nor is it a flash in the pan, but a little bit of accumulation, quantitative change to qualitative change, is the result of the joint efforts of countless scientists and laboratories.

"The current nuclear fusion reactor, the Dongfang Sun Tokamak, has been running stably for 24 hours!"

"The damage to the first wall was 1.4% and maintenance was expected after 1000 hours."

A single point of light is glowing in the East Lab, the center of the large tokamak.

It is so dazzling and so precious.

Forever 50 years, with huge investment and the efforts of countless people, finally it is no longer a problem that can never be realized.

Human beings can already declare that the era of nuclear fusion has arrived ahead of schedule!

The core temperature of this mass of plasma even reached 500 million degrees Celsius, blooming a steady stream of light and heat.

"The Q value is about 35, and there is still the possibility of further improvement."

"Plasma turbulence is as expected and well confined."

"Tritium self-sustains... with a ratio of 1.08 produced to consumed."

The Q value is the ratio of energy output to input. For every 1 energy input, 35 energy can be obtained. This ratio has completely reached the commercial level.

As for the self-sustainability of tritium, it is also a major difficulty in controllable nuclear fusion.

The first generation of controllable nuclear fusion requires "tritium" elements, and tritium elements are very expensive. Only nuclear fission power plants are produced in small quantities. The cost is about 120,000 yuan/gram or even higher. The production speed is limited. I want more neither.

Therefore, during the nuclear fusion reaction, the problem of tritium self-sustainment must be solved. The current ratio of 1.08 can be said to be quite perfect, and an extra part can be used for military construction.

"What about the cost of power generation! How much does it cost!"

"The current power generation cost is about... 50 cents per kilowatt-hour, which is equivalent to the meal supplement of a conventional nuclear power plant. Although the water is still boiled, the boiled water burns much faster."

"Is there still room for cost reduction?"

"Of course there is! As long as ultra-large-scale power generation is realized, theoretically one penny per kilowatt-hour can be achieved, and there is still a long way to go to reduce the cost. It doesn't matter, it is definitely a success now, and it can be used!"

When the experiment was a great success this time, every research dog in the East Lab was laughing and discussing loudly. Their eyes were full of light, and the old professors who were somewhat hunched over also straightened their bodies!

A few researchers who were sleeping in the rest room suddenly realized something when they heard the shouts outside, and fell awake from the bed in a daze.

He didn't care even if his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He opened the door and rushed out to share the joy in his heart.

"Successful?!"

"Yes, it worked! We made it!"

It was like a dream, groping hard in the endless darkness, finding the right direction bit by bit, trying countless times, under tremendous pressure. Not only the creation energy, but also the huge social and financial investment of the entire Kunlun Mountains.

In fact, in the past two days, the energy consumed by the Eastern Laboratory accounted for 8.9% of the total power generation in society! The other large laboratories complained quite a bit. The scientific research funds are limited, and the Eastern Laboratory occupies more than half of them, and the rest have to live a hard life.

Of course, the rest of the laboratories have also made great contributions to this great achievement, especially the contributions of various material laboratories...

After walking out of the mist step by step in this way, the beautiful sun suddenly ushered in, how could it not make people feel tears.

"Controlled nuclear fusion is so successful?"

After the news spread, a large number of researchers came to the laboratory next door. A large group of students in the university city also hurried over to look around, they looked around and were filled with emotion.

A Ph.D. in his twenties said to his fellow students: "You think it's easy? We've been having a hard time day and night... It's a nightmare life."

He said "nightmare", but it was obvious that the top students in the school were the ones who could intern in the East Lab.

"Professor Lin may only rest for four or five hours a day. Some of Tritium's own theories were worked out by her. It's really amazing, a genius-like idea."

"Brother, what about you?"

"Although I can't do this, I have more than 12 hours a day, and I only rest for eight hours. I only have one vacation during the Chinese New Year."

The researcher said proudly: "Oh, by the way, there are also a lot of new materials to support, not only the new materials produced in the small universe, but also the materials of the void amoeba, which really helped a lot. Otherwise, the speed would not be so fast. .”

"Here, I would like to thank the Haiyin Laboratory and the Ark Laboratory for finding new materials derived from the Void Amoeba."

"There are several materials that happen to be high-performance materials that can resist neutron radiation, so they are used directly, saving a lot of time, otherwise we have to find suitable first-wall materials. In this case, It is natural to complete the goal ahead of schedule."

He said "naturally", but the pride on his face was about to overflow!

Within a few minutes, journalists flocked after hearing the news, anxiously asking about various details, power generation cost, stability and so on.

Everyone understands the value of controlled fusion - it will solve once and for all the current energy scarcity problem!

Especially the large construction project of the spaceship requires too much energy!

Without enough energy, the ore cannot be smelted, so it can only be left alone. Some experts even proposed to use the stored coal to smelt steel...even though this proposal was quickly rejected. Coal is a non-renewable product, and it would be wasteful to simply burn it.

Then the factory can't start, it can only shut down. No matter how motivated people are, there is no way to solve the problem of energy shortage.

There is nothing better than sending charcoal in the snow.

The chief engineer, Lin Qiuyue shut herself in the room, covered her eyes, and cried secretly.

"Lin Bao, Lin Bao, we succeeded!"

"We... wow!"

"Let's go to bed, shall we?"

There are many, many elements of luck, but the difficulties and obstacles are unknown. Sometimes she is also very confused and feels a lot of pressure on her body, especially when she knows that human beings have a very urgent need for this technology.

Perhaps, the ultimate joy is tears of happiness.

...

[Your civilization, human civilization, has been promoted from the information age to the age of nuclear fusion. 】

[The creation ability of the subspace is improved. 】

[The history of human civilization has undergone permanent changes, so you get 3000 creation energy. 】

[Creation energy you currently have: 4211.325456549]

Zhang Ran was in his office, reading about the development of a new generation of motherships, when suddenly a line of text appeared in front of his eyes, and his golden finger ran out to show his presence, which caught him off guard.

After reading these words, the whole person has a dizzy sense of happiness.

Hitting the worker on the 1st... I made money for myself.

Sure enough, the next era of technology is the era of nuclear fusion...

3000 points!

This is his first income after spending for a long time!

Huge income!

It's like running 10,000 meters in summer, and you're about to suffer from heat stroke or even die of thirst. Suddenly, you drink a bottle of iced Sprite, and the refreshing feeling is so refreshing.

What's more, the use of nuclear fusion...is self-evident!

"Your Highness, Your Highness, there is good news! Great news!" Someone knocked on the door hastily outside, and Sakurai ran over from the office next door.

Her physical fitness is naturally excellent, she can run 10,000 meters without panting, but at this moment she is out of breath, and her small face is as rosy as a tomato: "Dongfang Laboratory...they succeeded ! They made it!"

"Nuclear fusion is successful! It can generate electricity stably!"

Zhang Ran stood up from his seat, laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

A group of people hurried to Dongfang Laboratory.

There has long been a sea of ​​people here, and the reporters swarming here are like wasps, crowded. The lively discussion can be heard from a block away.

There are also experts from various laboratories gathered here, wanting to know the truth of the news.

In fact, the news that nuclear fusion is about to succeed has spread from time to time half a year ago. It is not a sudden success, but the rich fruits at this moment still shocked all scientific researchers.

A middle-aged professor is introducing the experimental results with excitement: "Yes, according to the current research results, the fruit of nuclear fusion is probably ripe, and a commercial demonstration reactor can be established soon."

"If a super-large reactor is built... the annual power generation is expected to reach 100 billion kwh, comparable to the former Three Gorges Hydropower Station! Our energy problem will be solved once and for all!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, an explosion is absolutely impossible."

"Nuclear fusion is a safer and cleaner energy source than nuclear fission. It cannot explode!"

Fusion, the power of the sun!

Today the sun disappears, but humans create the sun themselves. Just like Prometheus who stole Skyfire, the names of these contributors will become great figures in history.
