036 Crisis strikes
The whole laboratory was filled with jubilation.
Lin Fan looked at the excited crowd and was also very touched.
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, oil has become the lifeblood of mankind, however, the entire planet has accumulated hundreds of millions of years and has been squandered by humans in a hundred years.
After the advent of nuclear energy, mankind entered the era of nuclear energy, and the oil crisis slowed down for a while, but the use of nuclear fission still has serious limitations and harm.
After mankind entered the age of nuclear energy, there were many accidents, and each accident was enough to make everyone tremble.
Therefore, human beings need a clean, safe and almost permanent energy source, so the theory of nuclear fusion was proposed, and it was immediately sought after by mankind as the ultimate energy source.
But unfortunately, theory is theory, and there is still a long way to go to apply it in practice, and more than 100 years later, mankind still cannot open the door to nuclear fusion and step into it.
Until this moment, this boiling laboratory announced that mankind has officially entered the era of nuclear fusion.
This is a leap of the times, and its significance is not weaker than that of mankind stepping into the interstellar era.
Soon, the report of the success of nuclear fusion was placed on Lin Zhen's desk.
At this moment, Ed Campbell was sitting in front of Lin Zhen's office.
"Lin Zhen, as long as this news is released, you will definitely be stable in the re-election in 1 year!"
That's right, in order to maintain policy continuity in the federal system, the president is elected for 12 years and can be re-elected for up to 3 consecutive terms, while Lin Zhen's first term is only 1 year.
The success of nuclear fusion is definitely a shot in the arm for his re-election, not to mention that the main developer is still his son, if anything unexpected happens, as long as this matter is made public, then absolutely no one can prevent Lin Zhen's re-election!
"I didn't expect this stinky boy to be so powerful, to be honest, I can't even understand him!"
"Okay, don't get cheap and sell well, the problem now is that we have to step up the helium-3 mining program on the moon, otherwise it will seriously affect the nuclear fusion program."
"Well, this has been arranged, don't worry, I'm more worried about the Scott family now, their actions have been a little weird recently!"
"Scott, I've also received some news recently, they seem to have arranged for a lot of people to go to the Fourth Fleet, and they always feel like they want to do something!"
"I think so too, so Liang Xingchen and I have specially arranged a group of people to monitor the Scott family's people who have entered the Fourth Fleet, but nothing has been found out in the past few months."
"Hey, I hope we're too careful!"
"I hope so!"
Indeed, the Scott family has been making a lot of moves recently, and its purpose is to control the Fourth Fleet, so they have used a large number of connections to transfer a large number of people in the family to the Fourth Fleet.
Of course, Liang Xingchen is not stupid, after discovering the Scott family's actions, he immediately communicated with Lin Zhen, and at the same time arranged these people into non-real power positions, and also arranged a large number of people to monitor them.
It's a pity that the two don't know that even the head of the Scott family has been tricked and become a pawn on someone else's chessboard, but the real black hand is someone else.
Half a year later.
At this moment, the federation is thriving, a large number of nuclear fusion devices have been built, the original nuclear power plants have been dismantled, and mankind has attracted clean and safe energy.
Not only that, due to the low cost of nuclear fusion energy and high output power, it has directly led to a sharp drop in electricity bills, and even to the point where the federal government is considering whether citizens will no longer charge for electricity, and only charge for enterprise electricity, you can imagine how cheap the electricity bill is!
As for the scientific research team led by Bai Zixuan, it has also been a succession of good news in the past six months, and the long-distance jump test of the curvature engine has come to an end, and it is no longer far from the finalized assembly.
Quantum communication technology was tested along with the curvature engine remote transition, and the results were perfect, and during the test, communication could still be carried out without delay at a distance of more than 10 light years, and the results were gratifying.
At the same time, the warship version of the fusion device has also been designed, and the first experimental machine is being built, and it is believed that it will soon enter the testing stage.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, but no one notices that a huge crisis is approaching.
Mars orbit, Task Force 101 station, Detention Chamber.
"Whoa... Phew..."
After two laser gunshots, the two guards looked at the man in front of them with incredible eyes, and finally collapsed in a pool of blood unwillingly.
Wood Scott took two of his cronies who had been inserted by the Scott family to the outside of the cell, entered the code and opened the door.
"Your Highness Duolun, I was arranged by Lord Adams to rescue you back to your home planet, please leave with me!"
Looking at Wood in front of him, Doron Oakes had infinite doubts.
What's going on, it's obviously a human being in front of you!
"Your Highness Duolun, I have been loyal to the Oaks Empire since 7 years ago, if you have any doubts, please wear this!"
Seeing Doron's doubts, Wood immediately handed over the device to communicate with Adams.
Seeing this device, Adams certainly knew this thing, and skillfully took it and put it in his ear.
"I'm Doron!"
"Your Highness Doron, I am Addams, Wood can be trusted, he will take you away, I am ready to respond in the asteroid belt!"
"Okay, I see!"
Hearing Adams' words, Doron was relieved and returned the communicator to Wood.
"You're good, I'll give you enough rewards when you go out this time!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, but for the time being, I need Your Highness to be wronged and lie here."
Wood gestured to a box that the two men were carrying.
Duolun is not stupid, he just walked out like this, and he was a ghost if he could run away, and he didn't play with his senseless pride, nodded, and walked towards the box.
After Doron lay down on the box and closed the lid, two of his men carried the box and followed Wood out.
Along the way, many people greeted Wood, and Wood responded with a smile on his face.
You must know that in the past eight months, Wood has been wearing a decent gentleman and a warm-hearted mask in the Fourth Fleet, and he has a very good relationship with everyone, which is almost like an actor.
Of course, some people on the road curiously asked what Wood was carrying, and Wood had already prepared the answer, well, the test equipment from the scientific research institute should be transported to the port immediately.
Ten minutes later, Wood and his men arrived in the harbor, where the two men carried the boxes to a transport ship docked in the harbor.
However, just as Wood was about to enter the ship, a question came from behind!
"Wood, what did you just carry in?"
