Chapter Twenty-Nine: Friends Reunited

Huang Weixuan is the younger brother of Dr. Ling Moyu, one year younger than him, the two have a good relationship, and they often play together, and after graduation, they went to work at the National Nuclear Fusion Research Center, and have been engaged in the research of controlled nuclear fusion engineering.

He called Huang Weixuan's phone, and when he heard that it was Ling Moyu, Huang Weixuan was surprised and delighted, "Where have you been for so many years?" As soon as you graduated, there was no news, no one knew what you did, some people said that you became a monk, haha. ”

"I also think, but the fate of the dust is not over, where the heart is not pure, the Buddha refuses to take it in, the abbot does not give the gradient, and drives me down the mountain." Ling Moyu used to joke with his brothers and sisters.

"Where are you now, what are you doing? What have you been doing in the past few years? Huang Weixuan had a lot of questions to ask him.

"I haven't looked for a job yet, I've been working as a security guard in other places for the past few years, now let's see if I can find a job as a security guard in the capital!" Ling Moyu said with a smile.

"So you're in the capital, I'm here too, come on a business trip, go back tomorrow, I'll look for you where you are!" Huang Weixuan happened to be in the capital.

"I don't know if the carving time of Liudaokou is still there, if it is, let's go there." Ling Moyu said.

"Yes, I saw it when I passed by the other day. Just go there, 6 p.m., see you there. Huang Weixuan said.

Ling Moyu arrived ahead of schedule, many places in the capital have changed a lot in the past few years since he left, many high-rise buildings have risen from the ground, and he doesn't know the places of many landmarks. However, there is no change in the vicinity of Liudaokou, almost the same as before, the endless flow of people, hurrying by, the glass curtain wall of the nearby building still reflects the dazzling light.

At the back of the building there is a leisure restaurant, in this busy city, sitting in this small restaurant, indifferently looking at the people passing by the window, there is a feeling of peeling off the world, time becomes slow here, so that you can stop and slowly carve.

This is the place where he got up and everyone to party after playing ball when he was in school, and it was also the place where he often came to dates with Song Qi, holding a book, ordering a drink and leaning on the sofa, facing each other without disturbing each other to read his books. The past is smokeless, the time of carving has been condensed, and the things of yesterday cannot be left, only nostalgia lingers.

Memories are like tea, the more you brew, the stronger it gets, and the experience is like water, the more it is, the lighter it gets. After experiencing the waves of the river, you will know the ripples of a pool of spring water, although cherished in the past, tomorrow will be more prosperous.

Ling Moyu was going to sit by the window where they often sit, but unfortunately there was already someone, so he sat inside and waited for Huang Weixuan by the wall.

I accidentally saw that the person who occupied his previous place was a girl with glasses, where she was reading quietly. The girl was wearing a black and white sweater, with long black hair draped over her shoulders, a straight nose, a goose-egg-shaped face that was not plump, a butterfly-shaped watch on her wrist, and a cup of coffee in front of her.

Ling Moyu felt that she was blooming like a dark orchid in the corner, faintly exuding a distant fragrance, which made him can't help but take a few more looks.

Huang Weixuan pushed the door in, and waved back at him excitedly as soon as he saw him, Ling Moyu also stood up and raised his hand to respond to him, the old friend reunited, and after the two sat down, they couldn't wait to chat.

"Seriously, what have you been doing all these years, you disappeared as soon as you graduated, no one has any news of you, it is more serious than the evaporation of the world, and even I doubt that you exist, or I fantasize about Ling Moyu!" Huang Weixuan looked at him questioningly.

"It's a long story, I'm lucky to see you here, I guess I have nine lives and now I only have one left!" Ling Moyu was also very emotional, it was a miracle to come back alive.

So he told him about the important places where he went to Suliston to participate in the war against extremists as a volunteer, and said that he was bloody on the battlefield, armed with guns, killing everywhere, almost losing his life several times, and avoiding countless dangers like a god. Huang Weixuan, who listened to this, was dumbfounded, his mouth was wide open, and saliva was flowing out, looking at Ling Moyu as if he didn't know him.

"Didn't you make up a story to amuse me!" Huang Weixuan couldn't believe everything he said.

"Why, you see here are some pictures of me on the battlefield." As he spoke, he flipped out some photos of him on the battlefield from his phone and showed him them. One is Ling Moyu wearing desert camouflage, holding an SVD sniper rifle to his chest; A picture of Ling Moyu holding two AKs between his arms in a shooting shape; In particular, a photo of him and a group of fighters partying around the corpses of a group of heinous extremists they exterminated, without any treatment, flesh and blood blurred, all kinds of human organs and limbs all over the ground! Huang Weixuan, who watched it, was dumbfounded, looked at the photos and looked at him, looking at this man who had returned from hell, he couldn't help but have a cold war!

"Don't keep talking about me, how are you, the work is going well." Ling Moyu changed the subject.

"There's no way to compare with you, every day is a step-by-step work, every day is dull, and you know that doing our kind of research work is boring, especially at the forefront It's hard to have any innovation. The good news is that our controlled fusion project has made a major breakthrough and is ready for commercial trial operation soon. Speaking of work, Huang Weixuan also came to the spirit.

"I didn't expect it to be so soon, when I was in school, this was all a fantasy, if we can solve the controllable nuclear fusion, we can solve the energy problem of mankind, and it is possible to settle the conflict in the Middle East as soon as possible, and there is no need to kill and injure so many people." Ling Moyu deeply felt that the changes from society in the past few years have been really fast.

"How did you achieve controlled fusion? In what way? ”

"There is no particular breakthrough in the method or our inertial confinement fusion laser drive and the EAST superconducting tokamak method, but the fusion of the two has been achieved through hard work, which makes it take longer to let the fusion burn steadily." Huang Weixuan explained.

"I thought you had achieved cold fusion, but it was still the same method as before, and the above alternative way of achieving nuclear fusion was still a bit primitive, and even if it could be achieved, it would be impossible to achieve stable combustion for a long time." Ling Moyu had some questions.

"It depends on how long it takes, and although our current equipment is primitive, it is already commercially operational. Our approach is that the current device can burn stably for 8 hours, stop running after 8 hours, and be replaced by another equipment of the same type, while the preparation time for the previous equipment to resume operation is 12 hours, so that we only need to do at least three identical units in succession, we can ensure that there is no interruption in the supply of energy! Of course, in order to run more smoothly, we have prepared 5 units to run together to ensure that the output energy is stable. This only increases the number of equipment and operating costs in the early stage, the price of nuclear fuel is very cheap, and in the future, helium-3 will be used as fusion materials, and there will be no trouble in reprocessing, and the cost will be lower, which is generally more cost-effective than fossil energy and fission energy. Huang Weixuan said confidently.

"This is a solution, as long as the commercial operation of controlled fusion is truly realized, and more advanced technologies are slowly improved or found, at least human beings don't have to fight for energy anymore, and those who are struggling for energy should thank you!" Ling Moyu was overjoyed when he heard this.
