After the last failed experiment......

All the researchers collapsed in their positions and wept silently. X's thick frustration formed an abyssal substance, weighing on their spiritual will.

The great sage Baxter, with trembling hands, wrote in his diary: "We have spent countless funds, countless painstaking efforts, and more than thirty years, and we have only proved ...... Magnetic confinement is not feasible! At least it's completely unfeasible for our technology! ”

"Our technology is not enough!"

"But...... Many technologies have been stagnant for a long time, and it is difficult to make another leap forward...... We need a bigger breakthrough in theory, and we need more geniuses to join! ”

"Nuclear fusion is not just a simple project, it is a comprehensive collection of many disciplines, as long as one is a shortcoming, it is difficult to achieve. Maybe...... We are completely wrong! ”

“…… We wanted to make an airplane, and it turned out to be a racing car, and no matter how fast the car went, it was impossible to fly! ”

"What's even more terrifying is that the problem of nuclear fusion subconsciously makes you do racing and induces you to do racing ......"

"Magnetic restraint is certainly the first method that every civilization thinks of...... It's a piece of! ”

The more Baxter wrote, the more excited he became, the 120-year-old sage trembling with anger and tears in the face of nature's deception.

Tears rolled down like soybeans, dripping down the paper, and it felt like it had lost all hope.

For 30 years, they spent all their money, but they fell into this huge natural trap and could never climb out again.

Every time they were interviewed on TV, they had to say that there was progress, but ...... Where's the progress?

Time passed, and no one believed in them anymore, and the title of "Great Sage" had long since become discredited, and even the government had some skepticism.

Some of the inspectors from the Integrity Division were already waiting outside. Many people even think that the Great Sage has embezzled this huge amount of money, and it must be investigated this time!

Baxter simply doesn't know how to answer, embezzlement? Just as it wanted to make money, it wouldn't have sold the shares of the biotech company in the first place......

However, they did not have real results, they only spent a lot of effort, proving that the idea of "magnetic constraints" is too difficult and difficult to work!

Only one solution proved that it would not work!

How can this be explained to the people?

If you want to truly achieve fusion, there are two more options now.

First, a lot of effort has to be put back into grassroots science, and there has to be a bigger breakthrough elsewhere, and then come back to nuclear fusion.

But...... How much does it cost?

The Large Hadron Collider has not been found any more and was dismantled hundreds of years ago. Even if another one is built, it will have to be bigger and stronger to make new discoveries, and it is impossible for Congress to approve it.

Other disciplines have also encountered a large number of bottlenecks, and progress is extremely slow, requiring a lot of financial support!

Every step of the way requires money...... It's impossible to approve!

And each step takes a lot of time and requires a genius to appear!

It is only 70 years since the energy crisis of life and death! Thinking of this, Baxter closed his eyes in pain.

Second, find a better way than "magnetic confinement" to bypass this huge technical threshold!

So...... What is the solution?

Does it really exist?

At this moment, an idea vaguely appeared in Baxter's mind...... A group of researchers studied and discussed loudly, and everyone seemed to forget about the prosecutor outside

"Knock knock", several prosecutors were impatient and directly pushed the door and walked in.

Baxter is still calculating, and it sees hope and despair in the face of that pile of astronomical numbers. It fell to the ground in agony.

Impossible, this works ...... The current Knicks civilization will never be able to complete such a vast and great project!

This project requires too much energy and resources, and there are too many ...... The whole planet is unbearable!

It is hundreds, thousands of times the GDP of the entire civilization!

It's impossible!

The Nyx civilization has been greatly filtered...... Filtered out!

A long period of overwork, coupled with extreme sadness, finally brought the great sage to a complete collapse......

And so it went.

I went away with regret.

Coincidence appeared again, and it was another star who passed away on the same day as the great sage.

is a female star who cheated, was caught raping, and then had a car accident in a hurry......

All the Knicks, focusing their attention on this strange death of the female star, exploded directly in the search index. Everyone is partying for an entertainment star, scolding it for being deserved, morally corrupt, and so on.

And under the news of "Baxter's death", there is also a group of trolls spraying, scolding it for selling its reputation and spending so much money but not getting a fart.

The last great sage went away silently, carrying infamy.

No one notices that the last light has slowly faded out, and there are no more heroes who save the world......

Everything fell down......

The rest of the story is already doomed.

Silence, silence...... Yu Yifeng listened to the whole story, and felt panicked in his heart.

The big filter strangled the Knicks civilization alive...... The Knicks civilization was once stronger than humans.

There were heroes who tried, however, they failed.

Yu Yifeng felt that a big mountain was pressed in his heart, even a planet, and his whole body was out of breath.

The next thing is already to be predicted, as time passes, energy becomes more and more scarce, just like boiling a frog in warm water, and the frog feels bad.

It began to struggle to jump out of the hot pan.

The exploitation of seabed resources is indeed feasible and can greatly prolong the onset of the energy crisis. But...... The ice cap of the Nix Star is too thick, and the cost of extracting seabed resources is much higher, and it is not as cheap as it is on the surface.

The liberalized market reacted quickly, with the price of uranium ore gradually rising, and many prescient countries began to stockpile uranium resources and no longer export them.

As a result, electricity has become less cheap, and many cities that rely on nuclear power are slowly falling into disuse. A large number of Knicks heard certain rumors and flocked to the volcanic cities, where housing prices increased dramatically.

Many countries lacking uranium ore have become difficult to survive, and the rise in electricity will cause the cost of industrial production to be too high, and the cost of the product will naturally rise, and the selling price will also be relatively higher, and the price will rise rapidly.

Soon, the currency depreciated sharply, hyperinflation began, and the fragile global economic system collapsed rapidly, and in an unsolvable kind.

"At this time, the surface uranium resources have not been exhausted, and there are probably still twenty or thirty years left. But because many countries have begun to store energy and no longer trade in foreign countries, the Knicks civilization has been in chaos. ”

Because of inflation, the economy collapsed, workers in some countries began to strike in large numbers, order became dissolved, and the collapse of the industrial system was exacerbated.

Many people suddenly woke up to the fact that the remaining energy could not feed a large number of people, and the vast majority of people would starve to death.

What else can be done?

They want to go abroad, they want to squeeze into volcanic cities, they want to ...... What a desperate doomsday eve.

"After a few years like this, the war broke out suddenly...... Of course......, it's nuclear war," Professor Heigl said in a low tone, deliberately omitting this heavy part of the war.

"Nuclear war has brought a lot of deformities, mutations, and deaths, and most cities have been destroyed, and only a small number of people are surviving around the volcanic belt. It's like going back to the miserable days before there was no nuclear power......"

This is already inevitable, what better way than war?

"If that's the case, they'll be able to survive forever. Geothermal energy is, after all, sustainable. ”

"The war has cut a lot of people and lost a lot of industry, at least these Knicks can stay alive and live on the volcanoes."

"But what they didn't expect was ...... A large number of microorganisms also mutate in radiation. A creature called blue-green bacteria was born in this world, and they began to multiply rapidly, changing the history of the entire planet. ”

"That's right...... They are able to use heat as well as substances from the atmosphere to synthesize organic matter and produce oxygen in batches. The oxygen in the atmosphere today is mass-produced! ”

Speaking of this, Professor Haigl sighed: "Like a joke of God, specially in order to destroy the Knicks civilization, and then ...... Waiting for the arrival of a new human civilization! ”

"The birth of blue-green bacteria brought oxygen and changed the entire ecosystem. But it killed most of the anaerobic species of the time, causing environmental damage worse than a nuclear bomb! From the bottom of the ocean to deep land, wherever there is geothermal heat, this blue-green fungus exists on a large scale. ”

"And the remnants of the Knicks, having lost a great deal of industry, simply don't have the capacity to eradicate this widespread microbe...... They can only live day by day, watching the oxygen content in the atmosphere get higher and higher, and day by day they fall into deeper despair......"

"They are anaerobic organisms and cannot adapt to an atmosphere with a high oxygen component."

"This originally glorious civilization finally survived for thousands of years, and then slowly perished."

"At that time, the vast majority of species also perished in the birth of oxygen, and the planet of Nyx ushered in a new batch of reincarnation, and aerobic organisms began to be born in large numbers."

"The Knicks civilization rises from wisdom and sorrow, and perishes from enjoyment and ease. Perhaps there are deeper reasons waiting for us to explore......"

Professor Hagel finally said hoarsely.

"And now, a new human civilization has arrived on the planet Nix. And there is a lot of oxygen on the planet, and there is ...... Enough fossil energy for us to use for hundreds of thousands of years! ”

"How similar is this to the original Knicks civilization, does a new cycle begin like this?" r
