"Congratulations to the host on completing the mission."

Lu Yi rushed out of the city on a bicycle, and at night found an experienced charcoal burner in a cave to sleep, and the voice of the system sounded in his mind as soon as his mind appeared in the real world.

"See what you can redeem for 100,000 points."

Lu Yi opened his eyes, smiled at the few young ladies in the library who peeked at him, and asked in his mind.

A light screen appeared in front of Lu Yi's eyes, showing papers one after another.

"On the correlation between gravitons and space-time, on material crystal clusters, on quantum teleportation....... It's really a pure scientific theory.

You can also talk about a paper with some practical practicality such as material crystallization analysis, quantum higher precision detection or plasma detection. ”

"Sorry host, the system only has scientific theories, no technology and manufacturing process-related content."

"I don't understand these papers, what's the use?" If you don't understand the paper, you don't dare to publish it at all, and this value is equivalent to nothing.

"The system can provide auxiliary understanding services and theoretical support services, depending on the theoretical value, which can cost 10 to 100 times the integration."

"10 times to 100 times, are you inflation?"

Lu Yi turned off the screen directly, and he began to become handsome, feeling that he was not interested in this inflationary low forcing system.

"The consumption of points is based on the principle of the host's voluntariness, and the system is not compulsory, but the host of the system tasks generated when the scientific development of the parallel world is hindered needs to be completed."

"System, don't lie to me."

Lu Yi walked out of the library and said as he walked towards the dormitory: "The parallel world is fake, everything should be virtual by you using immersive neural virtualization technology.

I don't believe that the conjecture of parallel worlds is real, and even if it is, it should not be what you suggest.

And don't threaten me with physical castration in the future, almost everyone who studies physics is neurotic, be careful that I commit suicide and splash your face with blood. ”

Human perception of the outside world is the process of each senses perceiving the outside world and converting external signals into neural signals that are read by the brain.

The system can project images directly onto the retina, so the immersive neural virtual has the conditions, and with the powerful amount of computing, it can simulate a parallel world to deceive Lu Yi's brain.

When he discovered that the light screen was directly projected onto the retina, Lu Yi became suspicious of the parallel world

What further deepened his suspicions was the passage of time, and preliminary comparative analysis showed that the passage of time in that parallel world was at least a hundred times more realistic.

There was also the problem of the Italian language, which he didn't know much, let alone understand and speak.

"I don't know about the other parallel worlds, but the world that the host feels is real."

In the face of Lu Yi's questioning, the system followed the rules and did not hide it, explaining: "But it's okay for the host to say that this is virtual, because the host is actually not considered to be crossed."

Everything you feel, your activities, your feelings, are the result of the exchange of information with me as an intermediate bridge, and finally the result of your nerve center for your brain to feel. ”

"You mean to say that the parallel world was not born naturally, but artificially?"

Lu Yi's pupils shrank, and the amount of information contained in this answer of the system was huge.

Before committing suicide by burning charcoal, he had probably observed the starry sky at night, and all the iconic stars could be found, and if that world was created by man, and the system did not deceive itself, the range was at least as large as the Milky Way.

This news is even more shocking than the conjecture of the parallel world.

However, what made Lu Yi irritable was that when he wanted to ask for more detailed information about that world, the spicy chicken system was silent, and the birds didn't bird him.

When he went back to the dormitory, Lu Yi saw Xu Jiajun and the others all gathered in front of Brother Zao's latest I9 computer, but the computer stereo did not sound the sound of games or study materials.

"What's the situation?"

"The United States announced an 80 percent reduction in the ITER program." Xu Jiajun, who was watching, saw Lu Yi coming over and explained.

The high-definition luxury curved screen shows a United States press conference outside the wall, announcing that because the ITER project cannot be completed in a short period of time, from the next stage, Congress will reduce its investment in the ITER project by 80% and invest the funds in other more beneficial industries.

After watching the press conference, Brother Zao, a proper capitalist, was silent for a moment, raised his head and pretended to smile relaxedly: "Capital pursues profits, congratulations on the fact that mankind is one step closer to extinction." ”

No one answered, and everyone was somewhat silent.

ITER, short for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project, is also known as the legendary controlled nuclear fusion project.

This is an international scientific research project jointly participated by the world's major nuclear countries and scientific and technological powers, and it is also a project that can only be carried out by the joint participation of multiple countries, because the cost is too terrifying.

Stellarats, tokamaks, and inertial confinement are the three major research directions of controlled nuclear fusion.

The stellarumer, which is the most high-end relatively and promising device for controlled nuclear fusion, is certainly the most expensive.

The cost of a single billion euros, including the cost of research and development, is even more immeasurable, every time the test is started, a certain part will be damaged, and the start-up cost of each test is calculated at a cost of millions.

The tokamak device, the cost is relatively low but also expensive, the most awesome device is the EAST in Huaguo, which successfully achieved an electronic temperature of 50 million degrees Celsius and a continuous discharge time of 102 seconds.

However, people in Lu Yi's profession know that there are natural bottlenecks in the design of tokamak devices, and at this stage, EAST has already touched the ceiling, and the further you go forward, the more difficult it will be.

Inertial restraint, a way to blast the target inward through laser, the United States is the main research country for this project, but there has been no substantial progress and breakthrough, and the cost of the target shot is also expensive, which is distressing.

"System, can you exchange the technology for controlled nuclear fusion?" After a moment of silence, Lu Yi asked the system in his mind.

Lu Yi knows that with the withdrawal of the United States from the costly ITER project, countries will also reduce their investment in the ITER project one after another, and the already difficult realization of controlled nuclear fusion will be even more elusive.

This is an involuntary matter, because the ITER project is too expensive, and if the United States withdraws its investment and turns to military and economic development, it is still filling in that bottomless hole, and the consequences of this entry and exit are not affordable by other countries.

As a physics major at 985 University, Lu Yi understands the difficulties encountered by human cutting-edge science and technology at this stage, and also understands the current difficulties encountered by human civilization.

It seems that science and technology are becoming more and more developed, but there has been no substantial scientific and technological breakthrough, and it seems that life is getting better and better, but it is the price of accelerating resource consumption.

On the one hand, humanity is depleting resources at an ever-increasing rate, and on the other hand, controlled nuclear fusion, which is known as endless energy, is at an impasse.

It is likely that human beings will not wait to break through the technological barrier and go to the stars, and war will break out because of resource problems.

The peace maintained by the mushroom bomb will become nuclear peace once a full-scale war really breaks out.

"I'm sorry, but there are only scientific theories in the system, and there is no content related to technology and manufacturing processes." The system repeated the question again and gave an answer that disappointed Lu Yi.

"Then there must be an accurate mathematical model of plasma turbulence." Lu Yi thought about it and asked for a theoretical data that is of great practical significance to controlled nuclear fusion at this stage.

"An accurate mathematical model of plasma turbulence requires 2.88 million integrals, and the host integrals are insufficient."

The system gave an answer, and after a pause, a light screen suddenly popped up in front of Lu Yi's eyes.

[Detecting the host's concern for the country and the people, we are now issuing a mission to help human civilization break through the barrier of science and technology, and lead civilization to the stars to become an interstellar civilization. 】

"What?"

Lu Yi was instantly dumbfounded, stunned for a while and scolded in his mind: "System, I'll go to your uncle, what do you mean?" ”
