Chapter 437: Vision
"Without talent, you can't play anything." Ren Di looked at a large number of advanced materials very unhappily, and the higher-level reactor had already been tested. Ren Di holds the data of the entire system in his hands. At any time, you can use the exchanged materials to carry out step-by-step processing in this world, and use the existing industrial strength of the Zhou Tian Alliance to set up this reactor. All techniques have been proven, both in the projection talent space and in this plane. It can be said that as long as Ren Di releases this technology, it can immediately bring Zhou Tianhemeng's nuclear reaction energy technology to a higher level.
However, Ren Di didn't want to let go, why? Because of the price, after the advent of the hybrid reactor, it was thought that the price of the 99 percent of the depleted uranium in the enriched uranium would skyrocket. But now it's just nuclear waste.
As for thorium, the price of a kilogram of thorium oxide in the XXI century is three hundred dollars. As for now, the current reactor technology of the Zhoutian Alliance is thorium salt reactors, and the current thorium ore has become a strategic resource in the Zhoutian Alliance. Private individuals are absolutely not allowed to exploit thorium ore in a big way, and all warehouses where thorium is sealed are first-class combat readiness. Although this thing is more common than uranium mines, once the large-scale storage is detected by the Zhou Tianhe Alliance, it is the object of key surveillance. As for the large number of acquisitions, this kind of behavior is very worthy of scrutiny at the top of the Zhou Tian Alliance.
Ren Di is now going to behave like a good baby in Zhou Tian Hemeng, and this kind of thing of hoarding strength has to take into account the eyes of others.
As for nuclear waste depleted uranium, all battleships now use non-value-added reactors, and reactor fuel cores are massively replaced every decade. Since the current technology is unusable and if it is destroyed during the war phase, the nuclear waste will cause serious contamination of the core area if it is leaked. Therefore, none of the coastal cities of the Zhou Tian Alliance will store these things. Therefore, as long as Jinan is willing, the spent fuel rods that are berthed at the port and replaced, which can be used as a dirty bomb, can be applied for deep burial after inspection. In the name of doing dirty work, these nuclear wastes are quietly taken away. Let's go to the northwest. Although nuclear fuel can be exchanged in the space of evolution, it can be exchanged
As for the supervision of the Zhou Tian Alliance, as long as the nuclear waste does not enter the densely populated core area, no one will monitor it at all times, and Ren Di can completely guard and steal it. However, Ren Di dared to guarantee that as long as the hybrid reactor technology appeared, it would not be his turn to take care of the nuclear waste. It will take decades for thorium ore to become nuclear fuel, but hybrid reactor technology can almost directly burn depleted uranium in the reactor that would otherwise be unreactive.
The plot of the immortal cultivation novel he read a long time ago suddenly popped up in Ren Di's mind. The protagonist in it seems to be able to turn scrapped ammunition into treasure. However, Ren Di is not secretly happy now. Because these nuclear wastes are in their own hands, they still can't use them.
If we say that Zhou Tianhemeng lacks a full set of technical parameters for production. And the Northwest is the one who lacks the control skills. For Ren Di, Ren Di is now like a child with a double door, able to travel back and forth between China in the 21st century and China during the Republic of China. That's right, even though the Zhoutian Alliance is materially developed and can get a lot of advanced equipment, it can only simply maintain a base in Shaanxi.
Even if it is a fully automatic equipment, some systems need to be inspected once a year. Automation equipment reduces the amount of labor of high-quality people, and it is impossible for low-quality people to use automation to reduce labor use. The situation there in Shaanxi. Judging from the current experimental situation, it can be described as bleak.
At present, the second generation of sub-humans has been born. For example, if you need an air intake in a jet aircraft, it does not mean that installing this air intake on both sides of the propeller fighter can improve the performance of the propeller fighter, but on the contrary, it will reduce the performance of the propeller fighter. The same is true of DNA, a gene and a protein secreted play a vital role in a life activity, but without this life activity, the protein will disrupt other life phenomena at all.
The problem of genetic modification is like a mess, you can't just pull the thread and solve the mess, you have to find the thread. In the whole process of gene modification and completion, it is necessary to determine that the addition of a gene has a purpose, and then add it again on this basis.
And the formation of genes is also in order, after the fish landing, it is advanced to the living system that can breathe in the humid air, with this foundation, the fins will evolve into four-leggeds, and the scales will gradually develop into the fur, and the gills of the fish have not yet evolved into lungs. Just grow feet underwater, this stroke speed is enough to destroy the predators under the water several times.
Li Ziming's situation is so helpless, genetic completion did not have an immediate effect, compared with the original sub-humans, the generation formed now is not to mention compared with their parents, that is, whether they can live to the average age of their parents, it is still unknown. Now this wave of human beings is only born, and there is still a series of complex life activities to be experienced, and in these life activities, whether the proteins produced by the modified genes will have a benign effect on the survival of the entire subhuman beings remains to be counted.
Now what Ren Di needs to face is not pure genetics, genes are just a key in life science. One produces proteins, which then assemble themselves in order into the keys to complex life. The effect of gene change is not something that can be seen at birth, but it needs to spend a lifetime of life time to go through all the journeys of growth and development, consume all the nutrients needed for the development of growth stocks, and learn life resources, in order to verify whether a series of life activities such as protein production caused by gene changes are useful to the human being.
One-third of newborns die without even forming a sense of self because of problems with their life activities. Ren Di saw the scene of newborns thrown into the crematorium and destroyed. These are just the beginning, and how many of the two-thirds who survive are the lucky ones who are genetically modified correctly. Ren Di no longer dared to speculate optimistically.
In the yellow earth, many consciousnesses eager to survive were fortunate to come to the world, but because of the experiment, they had to leave the scene early and use their lives to verify the path of the race. Sounds great. If there is no communication with these consciousnesses, it is entirely possible to stand aside and sing about the great contribution of these consciousnesses to the progress of the species. But this is not possible. Humans are emotional creatures.
Accompany and protect its growth, and pass the torch in its hands. Who would do it if they didn't care?
When Ren Di was depressed, the laboratory technology could not be replicated in the main base.
From the neonatal culture center hundreds of meters below the Loess Plateau, Li Ziming has an urge to cry, more than 200,000 newborns are now more than a year old, and there are more or less problems of one kind or another. Only 400 newborns are relatively normal and benign by the normal standards of subhuman development. But it's just that it seems to be benign now, and there is no problem with the next development. No one dares to have any guarantees.
As for Li Ziming being crazy now, the entire medical department is crazy. During the development of a natural person, any kind of chemical substance secreted by the human body is no more or less. For example, if the secretion of thyroid hormone is less, it will stimulate the growth of the thyroid gland and form an enlarged thyroid gland (Great Neck Disease), and if it is secreted too much, it will become hyperthyroidism. The amount secreted by a natural person is just right.
However, the problem with these newborns who have modified their genes is that certain proteins are secreted, but in the wrong amount. Seriously affect the normal life activities of children. So what Li Ziming can do now is to establish case files for these newborns, and use artificially produced hormones to regulate life development according to regular injections. However, it is in this process that a large number of newborns die.
If you don't inject drugs, you die, you don't have a good amount of injected drugs, it's nothing for a day or two, and if you don't inject drugs, you will die. Li Ziming sometimes feels that he is actually killing people, covering up the fact of killing people with a glossy banner. When the child's clear pupils were dilated, Li Ziming thought about whether to give up for a while. Reason told Li Ziming that this was just the beginning.
In the underground building, Li Ziming stepped on the elevator, and with the pull of the elevator cable, the distraught Li Ziming reached the surface.
On the surface, it's time for potatoes to be planted. A year ago, the fertility tide allowed a sub-human family to have children. These children, of course, are not genetically modified. In five years' time, some families may have another child. Children who are genetically modified and survive.
A large number of subhumans are aware of the screening experiments being carried out in this underground laboratory, but they are unaware of the brutal process of screening.
Li Ziming breathed a sigh of relief, it was the time of potato planting, and the surface of the ground was full of working atmosphere. Although it has been baptized by nuclear weapons, the cultural habits of agriculture have not disappeared.
Watching the many sub-humans single-mindedly digging pits to plant potatoes, then watering them, and repeating the steps, Li Ziming felt that his emotions were calming down. It seems to be soothed by an unknown force.
The sweat on the cheeks of one human after another dripped down, and the honest face was raised, and he looked back at the neat Miao Pit behind him, and his face showed a look of satisfaction for a moment.
Li Ziming, who had just come out of the laboratory and got it for many mutilated newborns, trembling and anxious, happened to see this scene. Something suddenly touched my heart. Silently, I couldn't help but ask myself: "How much do I love this civilization?" ”
Li Ziming felt that his voice was a little hoarse, and he seemed to have stopped himself by asking this question. After a while, Li Ziming suddenly smiled, and then said: "Really, I don't know how to express sensationalism when I grow up." ”
Li Ziming said to himself: "I also went to junior high school, handed over a note, and confessed to girls. When I first asked how much I loved her. I once said, "I would like to be turned into a stone bridge, and endure 500 years of wind blowing, 500 years of sun, 500 years of rain, just ask you to walk over the bridge!" (This sentence comes from Ishibashi Zen)", I didn't have a 500-year certificate at that time. It's just empty words, and right now, I just don't dare to say it. ”
Li Ziming looked back at the farmland in the valley and muttered: "May my thoughts at this time not be empty thoughts as time passes." ”
