Chapter 212: Five Trillion
Massachusetts, MIT.
Professor Dennis White's "Nuclear Workshop".
As the first place in the world to achieve 15 minutes of controlled nuclear fusion, it was once the focus of attention and a beacon of human civilization.
But as the "End Threshold" was put forward by Ye Ming, the light here instantly dimmed.
It wasn't until a month ago that MIT's School of Materials completed the preparation of "dysprosium" at an extremely complex and ridiculously high cost, and it was brought back to life.
……
Professor Hollyon strode into the conference room.
The meeting had just ended, and only Professor Dennis and Mongard were left discussing something in a whisper over the drawings.
Professor Hollyon saw that he had only been seen for a few days, and his old friend, who had been high-spirited before, was now like a frosted eggplant, and his whole person was visibly languishing.
Although it is still strong and supportive, the physical and mental exhaustion can be seen at a glance.
Thinking of the last time he rejected the other person's hug, Professor Hollyon sighed slightly.
Standing in front of each other, Professor Hollyon stretched out his arms.
The two embraced.
Professor Dennis gave his student a look, and the latter got up in a deliberate manner, closing the door as he left the room.
With a click, Professor Dennis lit a cigarette.
"One?"
"Here's one."
In the smoke, both of them instantly lost their minds, as if they had returned to the scene of thirty years, and the two of them hid in the bedroom and smoked DM.
Finally, it was Professor Dennis who spoke first, and he knew that his old friend was connected with Ye Ming.
"Is the Kwa Father Heap still running?"
"Yes."
"It's stable." Professor Dennis sighed: "I always thought that after having Ye Di, everything would be fine. But that Ye dysprosium limit ...... I don't know how they designed it, but I've calculated it here, and it has not been possible to complete the stable confinement at a high temperature of 150 million degrees. ”
"Except for Ye Ming, no one knows." Professor Horion shook his head, "They didn't plan to release the design either. ”
"Announcement?" Professor Dennis smiled: "What do you hear from other leaders?" The most important weapon of the country. How could it be announced. ”
As he spoke, the two fell silent again.
In fact, a few years ago, at least eight years ago...... In the field of controlled nuclear fusion, which solves the world's energy problems, the mainstream voice of the entire international community is cooperation.
If nothing else, let's just say Professor Dennis himself, and his team directly announced the designs of the two fusion reactors.
Not to mention the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Program) cooperation – there are regular meetings every year to exchange results and ideas.
However, in recent years, the door of cooperation has become narrower and narrower, and the fields of cooperation have become fewer and fewer.
Controlled fusion, a technology that benefits all mankind, has become a weapon of mutual balance between major powers...... It's also a sad thing for science.
"What's next for them? Is it to reduce the cost of tritium? Commercialization? First in the energy leap? ”
"Not ......"
Before Professor Hollyon's voice fell, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a moment later, two middle-aged officials walked quickly.
"Two professors, the President is invited."
Professor Horrien was stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”
"Talk about fusion, talk about Mars, talk about semiconductors, talk about quantum computing, talk about AI."
Professor Hollyon looked at his friend, and the two of them shrank instantly.
"And then?"
One of the officers smiled and held out five fingers.
"Prepare to pass the law of this number."
……
On National Highway 318, a convoy of armored vehicles and heavily covered transports was moving at a constant speed.
Qi and Mo sat in the armored car, curiously looking at the surroundings and the occupants of the car.
In addition to her, Li Dongsheng and Zhou Tong, there were also three soldiers, one woman, two men and three soldiers in the car.
The female soldier had also been paying attention to Qi and Mo, and when she saw her looking at herself, she smiled slightly: "Is the Qi girl a little unaccustomed to sitting?" ”
"Oh, no." Qi Youmo hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "It's the first time I've taken a military vehicle." Team Lee, what about you? ”
"Yes." Li Dongsheng's seat was next to paint and ink, but he deliberately kept a distance from her: "I used to think that armored vehicles and tanks were the same. ”
Saying that, Li Dongsheng knocked on the iron wall next to him again: "It doesn't feel very thick?" ”
"Hehe, in fact, this is a fast anti-armored vehicle, and the shells can't stop it." The female soldier introduced with a smile: "It's good to wait until Shangyajiang County, and then you can directly transfer to civilian vehicles, so as not to suffer with us." ”
Li Dongsheng immediately waved his hand: "No, it's okay for us." ”
"It matters." The female soldier smiled and shook her head: "We have been staying in the snow area for a long time, so it doesn't matter what, but you are different, there is really something going on...... Right. ”
Hearing the female soldier say this, Li Dongsheng glanced at Qi and Mo, and after seeing the latter nodding, he also nodded and smiled: "Then it's troublesome...... Well, I'll call you Captain Ke. ”
"Don't, just call me Li Ke." Li Ke smiled: "We have the same surname, maybe you are still my brother?" ”
"Haha, then let's memorize the family tree?"
"Okay."
……
Amid laughter, the convoy drove along 318 into Yajiang County.
Here, a Land Patrol is already ready.
The three of them transferred to the land patrol, and their mood instantly relaxed.
Qi and Mo took advantage of the signal from the county seat, took out their mobile phones, and after hesitating for a while, they still dialed Ye Ming's phone.
After saying a few words, Ye Ming's video call came.
……
"Why did you pass all of a sudden? Who arranged it? Ye Ming looked at the picture of lacquer and ink, first said hello to Li Dongsheng, and then frowned.
After Li Dongsheng was insured, he directly entered Lao Tang's group, and then was arranged to be a "laborer" in Jizhi Technology - in fact, according to Li Dongsheng's technology in the field of robotics, he has no problem at all in entering Jizhi Technology.
He is now studying in this graduate school, and he is almost on the job.
"I'm coming myself." Qi and Mo covered the sun with their hands and smiled proudly: "You said that besides me, who else knows Aita better than me?" ”
Ye Ming suddenly stopped talking.
Although this time, although Li Dongsheng ostensibly led a team to send a group of combat robots to the snowy plateau, it can be regarded as the kind of test while delivering.
But in fact, the highest authority is still lacquer and ink.
Because as far as the understanding of Aita is concerned, lacquer and ink are the same existence of the whole company as He Mo.
"That'...... You have to be careful. Ye Ming looked at her blushing and said worriedly: "Altitude sickness is not a joke. ”
"Don't worry, there's a trunk of oxygen cylinders."
"Hmm...... Be careful anyway. ”
"Got it!" Qi and Mo giggled: "I didn't find you such a mother-in-law before?" ”
Ye Ming: "...... I didn't say it was the border! ”
"Hahahaha, does the third brother still dare to fight with Aita?"
In the video, Qi and Mo laughed extremely arrogantly.
Hanging up the phone, Ye Ming clicked on the home page of the browser.
A headline swiped out in an instant.
"The U.S. Launches $5 Trillion Plan to Comprehensively Support Next-Generation Technology"
