The technological empire begins with polymer materials

Spherical tokamak! ?

Under Gao Yuan's call, the conference room was quickly filled with Kunlun Group management and top experts and scholars from the national team.

Everyone was excited to learn that Gao Yuan had a new idea. After all, Gao Yuan had already proven his extraordinary ability to become a saint over the years, and the projects led by Gao Yuan were, without exception, a great success in the end.

However, when everyone saw the specific project, they were shocked. It turned out that Plateau was not satisfied with the existing giant ring-shaped tokamak device, and planned to miniaturize the fusion device and launch a whimsical spherical tokamak technology.

this…

Everyone was shocked. You think Gao Yuan was unreliable? He had already printed out the blueprint and everyone had a copy.

You have to say that he is reliable. This is a spherical tokamak. Not only is the magnetic constraint device designed to be extremely small, but the constraining field is also weirdly twisted into a circle...

Will this work?

Huh~

A table tennis ball flew up from Gao Yuan's hand, and then fell lightly.

Gao Yuan pinched the ping pong ball with his fingers, showed it to everyone, and said with a smile: "This is our ultimate goal, to reduce the controllable fusion device to the size of a ping pong ball, so that it can enter most small machines, especially The robot body continues to provide powerful power."

"Yes, robot."

"I believe everyone is well aware of what robots mean to the future, and small, even micro, and ultra-micro fusion devices are indispensable front-end technologies in the era of robots."

Gao Yuan has many ideas for the future. The reason why he singled out robots as an example is mainly because robot technology is highly representative.

Gao Yuan said seriously: "According to our current fertility rate, not to mention the stars and the sea, even China's one-third of an acre may not be enough, so when we march into the wider universe in the future, we can rely on the main force The army must be robots and advanced artificial intelligence."

"From this point of view, developing small fusion devices is also a precautionary measure. Why don't we young people in China like to have children?"

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, everyone laughed out loud, but after the laughter, there was also a bit of bitterness.

Talent is the foundation of everything. Facing the vast and unknown universe, 1.4 billion people are not enough.

Even if we enter the robot age, the robot army will still have to accept the command of humans, and in the end it will still require a large population.

As for how to solve the fertility problem, Gao Yuan has no idea now. He can't force everyone to have sex with a gun. He can only take it one step at a time.

…

In any case, the research and development task of the spherical tokamak controllable nuclear fusion device has been officially assigned.

While the spherical fusion device was in full swing, China also ushered in another event of great significance.

The Desert Ark interstellar cargo ship, fully loaded with 200,000 tons of helium-3, successfully returned from Jupiter and landed at a secret base controlled by the military in the Tarim Basin.

This is the first time in human history to obtain minerals from a planet on a large scale, and Plateau specially chose Jupiter, the most difficult planet. Even Jupiter cannot stop China's progress, which is enough to prove that planetary mining technology is very mature and can be applied to the wider universe. space.

Plateau broadcast the Desert Ark's return journey live and it became a huge hit around the world.

Just this one ship of helium-3 is enough for the whole world to use for hundreds of years.

That’s crazy. No wonder Gao Yuan dares to put forward the slogan of energy freedom. After mastering many black technologies including controllable fusion, China has such confidence.

…

Time came to February 1st in a blink of an eye, the eve of the Chinese Spring Festival. Early in the morning, live broadcast rooms around the world were opened on time.

"Wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year in advance!"

“I don’t have to pay electricity bills this winter, and the air conditioner and electric heater at home are fully powered. I’m really happy!”

"It's just the beginning. I heard that street heating systems have been popularized in Sky City. It won't be long before these facilities will be popularized across the country!"

"Only old cities need to be renovated. The Bohai New Town No. 2 where I live has always had street heating, and even the sea breeze is blocked by the wind curtain."

The audience discussed enthusiastically that energy freedom brings visible benefits to everyone. Things like using electricity freely and not having to pay electricity bills were something that was unthinkable in the past, but now it has become a reality.

This also makes people look forward to what exciting performances Gao Yuan will have next.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Gao Yuan appeared in front of the camera on time. As soon as he appeared, he shocked everyone.

I saw that Gao Yuan was not wearing the usual white shirt and jeans today, but was wearing a spacesuit!

"I'll go, what's going on?"

"Why is Boss Gao dressed like this? Does he want to..."

"The space suit is not the key at all, okay? Look behind him! It turns out to be an aerospace plane!"

"Really, with its short triangular wings and streamlined design, is it really an aerospace plane?"

While the audience was surprised that Gao Yuan was wearing a space suit, some eagle-eyed viewers quickly discovered that what looked like a legendary aerospace plane was parked behind Gao Yuan.

To put it simply, an aerospace plane is an existence that can directly break through the atmosphere and gravity from the ground and enter space without relying on rocket boost.

Having an aerospace plane means having the right to travel freely between the ground and space.

Just when people were shocked and talking a lot, Gao Yuan, who was wearing a space suit and smiling, suddenly said: "I have been thinking about a question for a long time, what is the real era of the big universe?"

"There may not be a standard answer to this question, but I think freedom of space navigation is definitely the most basic one."

"Although we have previously launched the Desert Ark interstellar cargo ship and the Kunlun Yunxiao giant controllable fusion jet rocket, the Desert Ark and Kunlun Yunxiao are both too huge. The launch costs are high and the maintenance cycle is very long. They are not consistent with the theory. The concept of just leaving.”

"Yes, we believe that in the era of the big universe, everyone should leave at once, pack their luggage, launch into space within half an hour, reach Mars within a few days, and traverse the entire solar system within half a month."

"So in order to achieve this goal, we developed the third fusion jet aircraft in Chinese history, the Kunlun Dagger!"

"Please look carefully behind me. This triangular aircraft is the Kunlun Dagger. It is only twenty-seven meters long and weighs two hundred and twenty tons. It is a typical little guy. Not only is its size incomparable to the Kunlun Yunxiao, It’s even worse than the Desert Ark.”

"However, thanks to the application of the most advanced technology in the world, we can completely make the Kunlun Dagger, which weighs only 220 tons, fly freely among the stars like a bird, shuttling between the earth and the entire solar system! "

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Without further ado, today I am going to go all out and personally take you to experience the joy of traveling freely in and out of space!"

"The two people standing next to me are Jiang Feihong and Chu Zhao, senior astronauts trained by the military. They will fly the Kunlun Dagger into space with me."

"First stop, we will go to the moon, visit our North American colleagues who are working hard on the moon, and send condolences!"
