Chapter 211: Technological Breakthrough
On September 20, 2016, with the technical support of aliens, human beings achieved absolute controllability of nuclear fusion in the laboratory for the first time, and a small artificial sun was born, which William Sr. named - Helios. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The success of controlled nuclear fusion means that mankind has entered a new era in the field of energy, and mankind will have access to almost inexhaustible clean energy.
Thanks to the erosion of traditional energy by the Zerg before, the traditional energy industry in the United States has suffered a major blow, and countless related enterprises have closed down and gone bankrupt, not only the energy industry, but also factories in other industries that consume huge amounts of energy, are also facing the danger of bankruptcy, and countless workers have been laid off and unemployed, so the government has pushed Lu Xiaoqi to the front of the stage in order to distract the public, and packaged him as a veritable "national hero" to buy time.
They succeeded, and just when the excitement was over for a while, and the public was about to refocus on the energy issue, and the chaos was about to brew, the controlled nuclear fusion experiment was a complete success!
The media immediately stopped touting Lu Xiaoqi and turned to report on the artificial sun, "Helios".
Lu Xiaoqi's role has ended, as if in an instant, the entire American media community has forgotten him, and there are very few media outlets about "Steel Bone Man".
Instead, there are photos and videos of "Helios" in various laboratories, the small sun 12 feet in diameter, burning quietly.
It is estimated that the output power of this "little sun" is enough to support the daily power supply of a metropolis like New York!
According to data released by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United States has the most nuclear power plants in the world, with 104, and nuclear power accounts for 20% of the country's total electricity generation.
Like Japan and Japan, the United States has had a serious nuclear power plant leakage, so for many years, the United States has not continued to build new nuclear power plants.
However, compared with the various radioactive contamination produced by nuclear fission power generation, the radiation pollution produced by controlled nuclear fusion is almost negligible, and safety is not at the same level.
However, the most important thing about the research results announced this time is not the impact on power plants, but "customizability"!
What does that mean? In other words, if you have a production enterprise that consumes a lot of energy every day, then you can customize a fusion power station for you according to your energy consumption!
The government promises to continue to develop new types of spacecraft and even new types of battery cars -- of course, the batteries used are naturally nuclear batteries!
To put it mildly, it can continue to be miniaturized, for example, nuclear mobile phones!
Even for creative advertising, the government has asked advertising agencies to do a good job, and the advertising slogan is very eye-catching - can you imagine that you will have a mobile phone that will last for 30,000 years without needing to be recharged?
In the video for the creative campaign, a man's bedside alarm goes off in the early morning, a transparent crystal sheet inserted into a metallic base with the time displayed and a smiling face.
When the man wakes up, the curtains are automatically opened, all the electrical appliances in the house are "awakened", the man washes up, pulls out the crystal sheet, walks out the door, and walks, the crystal plate holographic projection of a "villain", standing on the sheet and talking to the man - it turns out that this is the mobile phone of the future.
The man went downstairs and came to the garage, where a car with a sci-fi atmosphere appeared, the door popped open, and the man sat in and inserted his phone into a card slot.
The whole car is "activated", and at this time, the mobile phone is both the car key and the energy source of the car!
The man drove to work, parked the car, came out, came to the workshop, changed into a uniform - it turned out that he was the captain of an airline!
Before entering the cockpit of the plane, the man's mobile phone was authorized in some way, and after he entered, he continued to insert the mobile phone into the slot in front of the cockpit, which became the energy source of the plane again!
Finally, I gave a close-up of the phone - all the cores are a small nuclear battery in the phone, and in the core "combustion chamber" of the battery, there are 32 mini suns neatly arranged!
Of course, according to Einstein's mass-energy equation, it is impossible for such a small "star" to provide such a large amount of energy output power, which includes space folding technology, in fact, those 32 suns are not miniature at all! It's just that this is a "hidden setting" and ordinary people can't read it.
This advertisement, like a science fiction film, spread like a virus on the Internet, quickly overshadowing Lu Xiaoqi's limelight and becoming a hot topic in the United States and even the world.
Many countries have openly and covertly begun to communicate with the United States, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
The United States immediately announced that it would share a certain degree of technology with all its allies around the world, and that it would give priority to selling the technology after it matured and commercialized in the future.
However, after all, there is a difference between countries, even allies cannot give you benefits for nothing, you have to pay the corresponding price.
The allies are like this, and if the non-allies want to get the technology, the price will be even greater!
Because of the previous Zerg invasion, the traditional energy industry in the United States was greatly damaged, which naturally caused economic regression, but now, because of the emergence of new technologies, the United States is sitting on the ground and raising prices, just like when World War I and World War II made war money.
Are you tough? Proud? You don't? All right! In the future, no matter what you produce, you will lose at the starting line in terms of energy costs, and what will you compete with others?
Although it is only a success in the laboratory stage now, and has not yet been commercialized on a large scale, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a blank check and a big pie, but this thing will always be fast and slow - the United States hypocritically said that because of the limitations of technology and production capacity, it will support up to 66 countries, so the question is, how many countries are there in the world?
Therefore, in the next half month, the United States received countless "upfront investments", including those who exchanged armaments and technology, those who exchanged oil mines, those who exchanged rare resources for Uncle Black, and those who directly threw money!
This scene makes the U.S. government can't help but think of the time when the world was full of gunsmoke, but the United States was the only "pure land", there was no gunpowder smoke here, there was just a smile counting the banknotes!
In this wave, all the previous economic regression has been made up, and it is more than enough!
In this way, the U.S. government has completely eased up, and there is no longer a need for Lu Xiaoqi's "signboard"!
Against this backdrop, Ferretti can finally carry out that plan, but before that, he needs to convince and win over a bunch of "allies"! (To be continued.) )
