Chapter 3: The 'Variables' That Loom in

In the context of the fact that the time and space of the Ghost in the Shell are approaching the middle of the 21st century, although the explosive development of cyborg technology has achieved a certain technological leap, and even achieved an astonishing technological transformation that can reprint the human soul into a 'man-made inorganic body'. However, in the process of realizing energy utilization, human beings in this time and space are still far away from the 'solar nuclear fusion technology' that represents infinite energy in the real dream. Although there has been a considerable improvement in the conversion, utilization and storage of some local electrical energy and chemical energy. But in essence, it is still impossible to get away from the iconic fusion energy threshold on the tech tree.

And as long as the human beings in this world fail to break through the threshold of nuclear fusion without other ways to encounter it, they will continue to be bound to the home planet at the mouth of this gravity well, and will not be able to truly realize the journey of their race to the sea of stars. Unless there is a special oppressive situation! As a result, most human beings in this era can only continue to be fascinated by space in the fantasy of electronic punk~~ But unconsciously, some quiet external variable has secretly penetrated in, and will profoundly change the history and future destiny of human beings in this time and space.

Tsui Kelei is a brilliant scientist who can communicate with others in 50 foreign language variants as early as the age of five, and the total number of subjects he understands and masters has to add a dozen; In this age of cyborgism, he was a purist when someone like him, who had decided to have a great future since childhood, approached the limb modification surgeries that were prevalent in Mechanicism; At the age of eleven, he refused to implant himself with memory enhancement and cognitive enhancement components, on the grounds that he did not want his thinking speed to be "slowed down by a program designed by a third party." Have plenty of pride and self-confidence! It is also a privilege to grow up in a country that is steadily advancing on the East Asian continent in this turbulent era, and then receive a comprehensive education from an early age. In order to repay the care and careful cultivation of him, he chose a challenging project after taking up the job from the training team - nuclear fusion energy!

It is not only a challenge to himself, but also to prove that he will inevitably make an amazing breakthrough in this ultimate energy project that has stumped countless geniuses, and then obtain a meritorious honor that will be famous in history! A holy grail of science is waiting for him, but in the five years since he took on the project, this enthusiasm has been seriously challenged and washed. His self-confidence began to waver, and he had to opt for local brain enhancement surgery to help him make some breakthroughs. But at the moment, it seems to be of little effect! He began to feel anxious, knowing that the energy invested in the project was beginning to fade. If there is no substantial breakthrough in the next six months. Then this important project, which was once pinned on by the state, will face the reduction of funds and the downgrading. This is something he doesn't want to see accepted – but he just has a bottleneck in his core engineering that is difficult to solve. There are a lot of difficulties in how to stably control the thermo-ion cycle and what new materials to construct and electromagnetic field control algorithms, although he chose to strengthen himself, but the scope of the project involved is obviously beyond his personal ability! In this plane where the thinking reprints the cyborg technology but does not make a big breakthrough in the enhancement of brain function, he is destined to fall into a bottleneck in this situation at the moment. But in his latest rare dream, it was as if some 'enlightenment' had given him a hint to break through all the blocks

It was a dream time that he had been deliberately forgotten about as a child, when he was plagued by visual hallucinations because of his mental strength. He has always been tormented by visions of an ideal world where any dream and wish can come true, and he strives to reproduce them through paintings, prose, and hand-colored etchings with poetic words. Later, with his growth and deep understanding of the world, he embarked on the path of scientific research, choosing a realistic and feasible path to shape these dreams.

But in a dream last night, he seemed to be caught in a wonderful dream, all the technical difficulties that he had been bothered by for many years were explained in a space that is incomparable to any virtual illusion, and a real three-dimensional demonstration allowed him to see a fully mature nuclear fusion technology process and a large number of detailed parameters and even the wrong area that he was troubled by. Everything seems to be explained! When he woke up, he almost couldn't wait to start the experiment, and soon there was good news in the laboratory that made him excited and cheered, and I believe that soon this project will make a fundamental breakthrough, and the goal of achieving practical application within the year is no longer out of reach! But after careful consideration, he was surprised if it was some kind of hacking, but after carefully examining his electronic brain plug-in, he found that there was no sign of illegal intrusion. And those cue fragments seem to be hidden in the fleshy area of their brain. The plugin scan layer does not have any hints and only appears in dreams. Moreover, in addition to his position, the jurisdiction where he is located is also the highest level of wall security measures, and it is unlikely that the so-called 'intrusion information' will be realized, not to mention that no company in the world has ever heard of a breakthrough in this technology. So even if they can hack in, where do they come from, where do they come from, where is such a detailed technical path to successful nuclear fusion~~! As a result, the professor quickly threw away his doubts and concentrated on speeding up the progress of his project, and regarded the materials in the dream as a kind of 'dream enlightenment'

Of course, he wouldn't know that in a certain corner, Wang Bu was waking up from a special psionic bed, and after he had just used the 'Dream Technique' to complete a casual hint, he leaked a happy smile, and Aso on the side was looking at a series of additional technological industry materials to prepare for the completion of nuclear fusion! In this plane, they don't plan to throw it out directly, but they hand over the fruit of this dream to others who can realize it, and of course, they who have created this opportunity must have already made a rich value-added industry in the future
