Chapter 426: A Rising Civilization (2)
The official website of Xingyao Group announced: Ten days later, that is, on September 15, a press conference will be held in the headquarters building of Xingyao Group.
The major media and people around the world are all confused.
"It's over, my stocks, I will never speculate on stocks again. ”
"It's going to announce the progress of the construction of the 'Xingyao', right? Otherwise, why wouldn't there be any rumors at all?"
"Which field is Zhou Tiancai going to move this time, ask for popular science. ”
"Haha, finally another good show to watch, Mr. Zhou, support you!"
"It's true, Xingyao Group is mighty! Mr. Zhou, invincible!"
“……。 ”
As soon as the news came out, countless netizens poured into the official website of Xingyao Group, and tens of thousands of comments jumped wildly, and netizens vented their extremely excited emotions in the comment area.
Star Wealth Group has created one miracle after another, and it can be said that the release of Star Wealth Group has become the most anticipated day for people around the world.
People from all over the world spontaneously took up their own initiatives, some paraded in costumes, some held wine banquets, and some set off fireworks to celebrate,...... As if welcoming a big holiday, people around the world are celebrating the day.
Although I don't know what Xingyao Group will announce at the press conference, according to past experience, people around the world know one thing, which is a good event for them.
Nano medical cabin, photonic computer, biological 3D printer, life extension gene drug,...... Every product of Star Shine Group is changing their lives and bringing them great benefits.
What good news does Xingyao Group want to announce at this product launch?
People around the world are looking forward to it, living like a year, and for ten days, countless people are pinching clocks.
On the first floor of the headquarters building of Xingyao Group, the hall of more than 20,000 square meters is full, and reporters from major media around the world, many entrepreneurs and national dignitaries have been invited to come, seeing that mankind has an important day in history.
A giant pure white booth, spotlessly clean under bright lights.
The auditorium buzzed and the audience anxiously awaited the upcoming launch.
Suddenly, there was a 'clang', the lights dimmed, and a bright beam of light was projected on the wall of the booth, and the pure white wall suddenly cracked a door, and Zhou Xing, who was dressed in a black suit, came into everyone's eyes.
The noisy venue suddenly fell silent.
"Bang bang ....... The thunderous applause roared in unison, and the long-awaited time was coming, and the audience looked at Zhou Xing and applauded vigorously, feeling extremely excited.
In the warm applause, Zhou Xing walked to the center of the booth with a smile on his face.
With Zhou Xing's pace, the lights in the hall gradually brightened, and when Zhou Xing walked to the center of the stage, the lights in the exhibition hall returned to their previous state.
Zhou Xingxiao looked at the audience and introduced: "Just like the light just now, with the footsteps, the human front is full of light, thank you for coming to participate in the eighth press conference of Xingyao Group." ”
As soon as Zhou Xing's voice fell, there was a "whoa", and the applause at the scene became more intense.
The audience was so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and they could only show their admiration for Zhou Xing with their hands.
It's only been 17 years since the establishment of Xingyao Group, but it has already created too many miracles.
Nano medical cabin, weight loss cabin, 5G network, virtual helmet, flying car, photonic computer, gene life extension drug,...... Just like its name, Xingyao Group is full of stars and incomparably bright in human society.
"Thank you all for your applause, and now I declare that the press conference has officially begun. Zhou Xing looked at the audience and announced impassionedly.
Hearing this, the applause from the audience stopped sparsely, and everyone stared at Zhou Xing's face intently, looking forward to it.
has not appeared in public for several years, Zhou Xing's appearance has not changed much, the straight black suit sets off his tall figure, white skin, angular face, with a gentle smile, black eyes, with a perceptive gaze, elegant temperament, permeated with a strong bookish atmosphere.
Looking at the audience with 'bated breath', Zhou Xing smiled slightly and introduced: "At this press conference, I want to announce two technologies related to Xingyao, as well as two major decisions. ”
Hearing this, the audience's spirits were shaken.
Sure enough, Zhou Xing didn't make a move, and it was amazing as soon as he made a move, that is, today's press conference, there are four major news.
The audience couldn't help but sit up straight, looking at Zhou Xing on the booth with burning eyes.
Zhou Xing smiled and began to introduce: "First of all, in order to make the 'Xingyao' project go smoothly, the power system and the communication system must be overcome; after several years of hard research, standing on the shoulders of great people, we have overcome two major technologies. ”
The audience group held their breath and looked forward to Zhou Xing's announcement.
"Ultra-long-range quantum communications, and controlled nuclear fusion. Zhou Xing smiled slightly and announced loudly.
What the?
The audience was stunned and looked at Zhou Xing at a loss
The empty exhibition hall was silent, and the audience had an auditory hallucination on their faces.
"Did I hear me right? Is it controlled nuclear fusion?"
"How is this possible?"
"Mr. Zhou, are you talking about controlled nuclear fusion technology? Controlled nuclear fusion has broken through?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's controlled nuclear fusion. ”
“……。 ”
There was a 'buzz' in the audience, and there was a bang, and they asked each other to confirm.
"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet. Zhou Xing coughed twice, looked at the chaotic audience, and reminded.
Hearing this, the excited audience stopped talking and looked at Zhou Xing in a panic, waiting for his explanation.
Zhou Xing smiled and continued: "That's right, you heard it right, the two technologies I talked about are: ultra-long-range quantum communication and controlled nuclear fusion. ”
After a pause, Zhou Xing continued to look at the audience and explained seriously: "Ultra-long-range quantum communication is based on the existing quantum communication technology, through the use of new materials,...... , according to the principle of quantum entanglement,...... , two separate inverse synchronous quanta, measure the state of one quantum at a certain polarization, and only need to notify the other distant quantum,......。 Finally, ultra-long-distance transmission and communication can be achieved. ”
"According to the existing test conditions, this ultra-long-range quantum communication technology can cover the whole world, and if it is in an environment with less interference in outer space, the longest transmission distance is expected to break through to cover the solar system,......。 ”
“……。 ”
The audience looked at Zhou Xing with burning eyes, and listened to him explain quantum communication products hard, and their attention was focused on the controllable nuclear fusion technology, compared to which quantum communication was not important at all.
Looking at the audience who were anxious and collectively 'distracted', Zhou Xing showed a funny smile and continued: "Next, I will introduce another technology: controlled nuclear fusion. ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Zhou Xing with bright eyes.
Zhou Xing smiled slightly and continued: "The power of chemical fuel is not enough for a long time, so it is an inevitable trend for interstellar spacecraft to use nuclear power, and the 'Hoshino' has been a nuclear-powered spacecraft from the beginning of its design. However, the use of nuclear materials would make the ship very unsafe, and the crew would be constantly threatened by nuclear radiation, so I set my sights on nuclear fusion. ”
Hearing this, the audience showed a look of understanding.
Nuclear fusion technology and nuclear fission technology are fundamentally different.
Every substance in the world is in a state of instability, sometimes splitting or synthesizing into something else, and whether the matter is split or synthesized, it produces energy.
The atomic bomb is made using the fission principle, and the current nuclear power plant also uses nuclear fission to generate electricity, and the nuclear fuel reserves of the fission reactor are extremely limited, which not only produces powerful radiation and harms the human body, but also the nuclear waste is also very difficult to dispose of.
However, nuclear fusion is different, by combining two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom, it is called nuclear fusion, the sun is based on this to release a huge amount of energy, nuclear fusion radiation is much less, nuclear fusion fuel on the earth and the moon is extremely abundant, can be said to be inexhaustible, inexhaustible.
"Due to the growing energy crisis, countries are racing to develop nuclear fusion,...... , the world's largest laser output power of 100 trillion watts, enough to "ignite" nuclear fusion,...... , built in Cadarache in the south of France, with the aim of generating 500,000 kilowatts of fusion power with the help of nuclear fusion of hydrogen isotopes at high temperatures, lasting up to 500 seconds,...... For this technology, countless scientists have fought on the front line and achieved many dazzling results. Zhou Xing introduced with emotion.
After a pause, Zhou Xing's expression was solemn, and he announced very solemnly: "Today, standing on the shoulders of great men of science, after five years of research and trial operation, Xingyao Group can finally announce to everyone that mankind has made a breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion technology, and we will have an endless supply of energy in the future." ”
Zhou Xing's loud proclamation, like a nuclear bomb smashed under the audience, "boom", some of the audience couldn't help but stand up, some applauded happily, some changed color and screamed sadly, and some hugged each other to celebrate,......。
"Is this really? Mr. Zhou, you are amazing. ”
"It's over, my stocks, there's energy stocks!"
"I knew, I knew, there would definitely be 'big news' at this press conference, great, great!"
"Nuclear fusion has also been broken through, haha! The sea of stars, we're coming!"
"Oh my God, Zhou, another amazing miracle. ”
"It's over! The energy industry is over, the oil-producing countries are finished, and the U.S. Federation is finished. ”
“……。 ”
All of a sudden, the entire hall of the venue was in chaos, and the audience either cried with joy, or screamed with sadness, or cheered,...... , there are joys and sorrows, and the scene is extremely lively.
"Mr. Zhou, how will nuclear fusion technology be promoted?"
"Mr. Zhou, how long has controlled nuclear fusion been in trial operation, and when will it be promoted?"
"Mr. Zhou, is it difficult to apply controlled nuclear fusion technology, and can it be promoted on a large scale?"
Mr. Zhou,......。 ”
The reporters in the audience rushed to ask Zhou Xing, if it wasn't for the robot in front of the stage to stop them, they couldn't wait to climb onto the stage.
Zhou Xing looked at the 'crazy' audience with a smile, and he had expected a scene, and refused to answer: "It's not time for the question session yet!"
The reporters were extremely disappointed and anxious, eager to enter the question session as soon as possible.
Zhou Xing decided how to promote controlled nuclear fusion, and the difficulty of promoting this technology ,...... The reporters had a lot of questions to ask him at this time.
The impact of controlled nuclear fusion on human beings is earth-shaking, and the impact is no less than the impact of life-prolonging gene medicine on human society.
With the success of controllable nuclear fusion research and development technology, human beings will enter a new era of unlimited energy, and the speed of space development will be greatly accelerated, and the energy that everything depends on in life, oil and coal, is because of the limited stock, so it is scrambling, because of the survival instinct, the energy in the future is unlimited, there is no need, human beings will no longer worry about survival, many lack of resources can be synthesized and manufactured with energy, and agriculture will become a factory-style soilless three-dimensional cultivation,......。 Human civilization will enter a new era because of this technology.
Everyone looked at Zhou Xing with burning eyes, but they didn't get a reply, they gradually calmed down, and the spacious venue gradually returned to quiet.
Seeing this, Zhou Xing smiled slightly and continued to explain, saying: "Using nuclear fusion technology to develop a particle engine, the speed of the 'Xingyao' is expected to increase to 28% of the speed of light, but due to the limitation of the hull material limit, this data should eventually remain at about 15%. ”
Hearing this, the audience was overjoyed, controllable nuclear fusion has been realized, and it is inevitable that the power speed of 'Xingyao' will increase.
"Fifty meters underground, there is a controllable nuclear fusion power generation device in operation, so far, it has carried out a total of 57 commissioning tests, the longest continuous power generation time: 397 days, the total power generation time: 735 days, the power generation is equivalent to the power generation of two Three Gorges hydropower stations, the cumulative power generation: 498.3 billion kilowatt hours,......。 Zhou Xing smiled and introduced it to the audience in detail.
Hearing this, the audience was dumbfounded, and they were stunned one by one.
The Three Gorges Hydropower Station is the world's largest hydropower station, and it is also the largest engineering project ever built in China, the Three Gorges Hydropower Station dam elevation is 185 meters, the water storage elevation is 175 meters, the reservoir is 2,335 meters long, the static investment is 135.266 billion yuan, and the construction project takes 15 years, not to mention the investigation, exploration, approval, and resettlement before the project starts,...... , etc., the time, manpower, material resources consumed,......。 It's an incomparably large number.
However, deep underneath the headquarters of Xingyao Group, there is a fusion power generation device with twice the power generation capacity of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station.
The news was so shocking that everyone was immediately curious about the fusion device.
"Mr. Zhou, can you give us a tour?"
"Mr. Zhou, how much does it cost, is it difficult to implement?"
"Mr. Zhou, you are good, open it to us for a visit!"
“……。 ”
After listening to Zhou Xing's introduction, the audience that had just restored order was chaotic again, and the audience looked at Xiang Zhou Xing excitedly and begged one after another.
Seeing that the venue was 'chaotic' again, Zhou Xing smiled helplessly and continued without turning a blind eye: "Next, I announce two important decisions. ”
The audience was silent, and everyone was afraid that they would miss Zhou Xing's speech.
