Chapter 584: The Future Must Be High!
The future is already here, just not yet in fashion.
In Weile Science and Technology City, under the instigation and support of Qin Tian, the researchers have mastered many advanced technologies that are enough to shock the world.
But technology is not a product.
Dominate the world's business and dominate the global economy?
Qin Tian didn't have such an illusory goal, his ultimate vision was very simple, that is, to enter space, to the depths of the universe.
As for why?
Qin Tian can put it in a popular phrase, it is called 'the universe is so big, I want to go and see it'.
To this day, there are many unknown mysteries that make Qin Tian very curious.
First of all, how awesome is Atlaide, whose level of technology is far beyond that of human civilization on the earth?
Secondly, how did the Atlaide civilization, a third-level civilization, be destroyed, otherwise its main battleship 'Midias' would not have been destroyed, so that the core computing module actually fell to the earth.
In the end, will the human civilization on Earth be revealed by other alien civilizations one day, and at that time, will it be peace or destruction?
Qin Tian believes that peace is earned by strength, and if the technology of human civilization does not go further, if there is really a sudden appearance of an alien civilization that is far beyond human beings, it will really be like acting in a Hollywood blockbuster, aliens have invaded the earth.
Therefore, whether it is to explore outer space in the future or to have enough strength to protect himself, Qin Tian has worked hard to engage in scientific research and climb the science and technology tree bravely.
No, in addition to photonic computers and artificial intelligence systems, the most powerful and the most money-burning black technology in Weile Science and Technology City, but still being researched, is about energy - controllable fusion technology.
Energy is everything.
It can be said that there would be no human civilization without energy.
The biggest bottleneck in Qin Tian's exploration of outer space is not communication, nor does he need to worry about control, but the most headache is how to store and use energy.
If you want to drive a small car, you need a lot of fuel.
It is an astronomical amount of demand to propel an interstellar spaceship that can easily reach tens of thousands of tons and maintain the daily energy consumption of the ship's equipment and personnel.
Therefore, some scientists have asserted that when mankind will master the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, when will it be able to enter the age of interstellar astronautics.
Why?
Because although nuclear energy is divided into two ways, fission and drastic transformation, but fission will produce nuclear radiation, but fusion will not, because fusion is helium without radioactive contamination.
In addition, the earth's seawater is rich in deuterium elements, with trillions of tons, enough for human beings to use for tens of billions of years, so if you can master nuclear fusion technology, you will basically have an inexhaustible source of energy.
The dream is good, but the reality is cruel.
The biggest difficulty of fusion technology, which has many benefits, is that its production conditions are harsh, requiring a high temperature environment of about 100,000 degrees Celsius.
Regardless of whether it is a metallic or non-metallic material, at such a temperature, it has long been vaporized.
People have spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build a 'tokamak' magnetic field restraint device, which uses the magnetic field generated by a strong current to confine the plasma, but it has been a small success under experimental conditions, and it is still too far away from industrial production.
Of course, Qin Tian couldn't spend hundreds of billions of dollars, and take the old path that others had walked but didn't take, he chose a relatively mature technical route.
……
Artificial Intelligence Division, the core and confidential new energy research department.
Although the technical research on controlled fusion is basically theoretical research and simulation testing, the research results are very significant.
Based on some of the information provided by Qin Tian, the researchers conducted in-depth research on the inertial restraint method.
With the laser beam as the main energy, the solid containing a few milligrams of deuterium and tritium is enclosed in a closed environment, so that it can produce high temperature and explode to release energy.
The principle is very simple, but the power of the laser beam is too demanding.
Ordinary laser generators are not good at all, using low clutter and ion cyclotron radio frequency waves, and conducting experiments in a purely virtual environment, the effect is quite good, but it is still far from success.
Whenever scientific research encounters a bottleneck, the way everyone can think of is to report to Qin Tian.
After arriving at the laboratory, Qin Tian took out his own level optical brain to solve the redundant problems encountered by the new energy research department on the spot.
This level of light brain, which can be rated as a 'fifth-level civilization' by the Monopoly system, is really not ordinarily strong, and in a very short period of time, it has completed a huge amount of computing work.
After Qin Tian fed back the verification conclusions, he went to the front line of the laboratory again to 'discuss' with the researchers on the spot, but in fact, he indirectly told them the correct results.
As for Qin Tian's results, how did they come about?
That's simple, it's nothing more than using the Monopoly system to reward the second-level host with the opportunity to ask questions once a day!
For example, the researcher doesn't know whether a certain method is feasible, and after Qin Tian knows it, he asks questions directly, and the judgments given by the Monopoly system are accurate.
With such an external auxiliary blessing, the theoretical research available for fusion has progressed very quickly.
In the next step, Qin Tian was ready to spend money on experiments.
According to preliminary estimates, without tens of billions of dollars as a foundation, it may not even be possible to build a decent experimental base.
In the future, it will cost hundreds of billions of dollars to master controlled nuclear fusion technology and realize production under industrial conditions.
However, with the assistance of 'plug-ins', compared to the high consumption of other world powers, the efficiency is not high, Qin Tian is already very lucky.
Of course, it is precisely because it costs too much money to engage in scientific research, so Qin Tiancai worked hard to run the 'Venus' luxury cruise ship, and the seemingly fruitful gains were ultimately devoted to scientific research.
After staying in the new energy research department until noon, Qin Tian rushed to other departments in the afternoon.
Every time he goes to a department of different classifications, Qin Tian is like a firefighter, and whenever there is a problem that cannot be solved, the scientific researchers now Qin Tian knocks on his laptop and solves it, who told Qin Tian the answer? Are there other expert teams behind Qin Tian who act as scientific advisers?
Everyone was curious, but no one asked.
Before you know it, it's evening.
In order to ensure the physical and mental health of all scientific researchers, Qin Tian stipulates that all personnel in the artificial intelligence division implement a task system, and can only work for 8 hours a day, and they must be checked by the health monitoring system every day.
Therefore, although it is evening, some researchers are not in a hurry to get off work, because some people come to work at noon, and they can make full use of their working hours.
Qin Tian didn't plan to leave the Science and Technology City, but after walking around various departments, he had many problems that needed to be solved urgently, otherwise it would be easy to delay the progress.
Unexpectedly, Lele sent a message to Qin Tian that Teacher Qiao Yixue was here.
"Strange! How did she know I was back in Beverly County?"
Qin Tian hurriedly left the Communication Research Department with curiosity.
It was not the first time that Qiao Yixue had come to the Science and Technology City, Qin Tian gave her the right to enter and exit freely, but she knew the rules very well and had never entered any scientific research building without permission.
Sunset.
The setting sun shines on the treetops, dappling with gold.
Joey Xue was dressed in a white dress, standing quietly in the shade of a tree, like a holy angel, with a soft holy light, as if blending into a beautiful picture......
