To this day, even though mankind has entered the interstellar age, there are still two areas that have failed to complete substantial breakthroughs.

One is room temperature superconductivity, and the other is cold nuclear fusion.

The current superconducting technology is still "high-temperature superconductivity", that is, superconductors realized by using low-temperature and pressurization technology, which are far from the kind of superconductivity that people think can exist and maintain at room temperature and under normal conditions.

But even if it's far away, room-temperature superconductivity can still expect a special material to suddenly appear.

Cold fusion, by contrast, is much more magical.

In essence, if the fusion of two atoms at room temperature and pressure is realized, this is tantamount to the highest level of "alchemy" and should belong to the category of magic.

The current controllable nuclear fusion is thermonuclear fusion, which simulates the high-temperature and high-pressure environment of stars, but through the continuous progress of materials and design, the current controllable nuclear fusion has generally begun to take the path of high pressure - basically reaching the limit of the O-Grct crystal generation force field, in exchange for the result is that the required temperature has dropped by almost 500 million degrees, which greatly reduces the difficulty of ignition.

But again, the human pursuit of technology is limitless.

When it was discovered that conventional technology in this universe had reached the end of its sight with the naked eye – unless a new material could be created that could produce a stronger dimensional force field – a group of scientists with a lively mind began to set their sights on the current hot two-dimensional realm.

"This is a model that we have initially built."

Since technology is involved, it is not appropriate to sit in the living room and chat, and soon everyone entered the conference room, and Director Huo Liang gave a technical explanation.

The virtual projection on the conference table shows an ingenious design based on a two-dimensional space – in fact, a whole bunch of geometric compositions.

Professor Huo Liang looked at Ye Ming: "How is it?" Do you dare to do it? ”

Ye Ming has been in thought since the cold nuclear fusion came out of Professor Huo Liang's mouth, and until this time it was no exception, he didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but closed his eyes, and his eyelids kept blinking.

Everyone was already dealing with him, and they knew that he was now calculating in their heads, so they waited quietly.

After a while, Ye Ming opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Theory can pass." ”

"Of course you can, it's the theory of your Multidimensional Space Research Institute."

"But the fractal dimension design needs to be redesigned, and the constraint system and navigation system must also be redesigned...... Well, but that's okay. Ye Ming exhaled slowly, and the five fingers of his right hand flicked quickly on the table, as if he was playing the piano: "I want to think about it, in fact, there are experimental conditions now." ”

Professor Huo Liang was slightly stunned: "How to experiment?" ”

"The physics center has a verification system for the two-dimensional membrane generator, but the width of both the binding force field and the two-dimensional expansion is very limited, and the dimensionality reduction properties of the materials are currently being tested by the Institute of Materials."

His voice fell, and Professor Huo Liang clenched his fists violently: "Then what are you waiting for?" ”

"To redesign it, let's get fusion out first — and I've got a new idea."

"What's new?"

"We don't need to use such an exaggerated substance as neutron film as a substrate for two-dimensional space, we only need to use atomic layers, so that materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes can be used." Ye Ming's eyes gradually lit up as he spoke, and his voice was full of joy.

"If we can do it, then we can really achieve miniaturization in terms of energy!"

Ye Ming said and stood up: "Let's design first, and then I'll notify Sheng Fei to prepare for the experiment!" ”

……

Three days later, a team of pitch-black commercial vehicles drove out of Jiangcheng under the opening of a number of police cars, and then drove onto the highway.

In the last decade, service areas have been expanded on highways across the country, with a large number of fast-charging spaces added while phasing out gas stations.

On today's highways, it is almost impossible to see petrol trucks except for trucks, and even trucks are mostly equipped with autonomous driving functions.

Under the control of Aita, even though the road was full of traffic, like a long queue, it did not affect the speed of the car at all, and in less than an hour and a half, the convoy arrived at the provincial capital smoothly, and then drove into the provincial hospital.

"Where?" As soon as he got off the bus, Professor Huo Liang looked around, although he was an old teacher of the provincial exchange, but after becoming the director of the controlled nuclear fusion center, he left the school, and now he is back in the provincial exchange, his eyes are black.

"The basement of the lab building."

Ye Ming led everyone and strode along the tree-lined road to the experimental building, fortunately, there were still a few days before school started, otherwise the appearance of this group of people would cause a sensation.

At the door of the experimental building, everyone exchanged a few words with Sheng Fei and the others who were waiting here and went straight to the basement.

……

"This is graphene, this is the purest lead plate, this is the confinement circuit that we put together overnight, this is the deuterium tritium tank."

In the basement, Sheng Fei, who had been occupying the experimental model of the two-dimensional space unfolder, introduced Ye Ming, and at the end, he glanced at the crowd again, extremely nervous: "Mr. Ye, when the experiment is held, I'm afraid the experimental building will be cleared, right?" ”

Ye Ming looked at the group of people who were gathering next to the small ring-shaped two-dimensional unfolder, and laughed: "Of course, I just brought everyone over to take a look." ”

Sheng Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Scared me to death, I thought you were going to see it." ”

"Sheng Fei, do you usually have to clear the field when you do experiments?" Professor Huo Liang's voice sounded, and he walked over and looked at each other happily.

"It's just that it was cleared once at the beginning of the experiment, and then it wasn't. But...... Mr. Huo, this time you are engaged in nuclear fusion! Sheng Fei couldn't cry or laugh: "What if this thing becomes uncontrollable......"

"Don't worry, we'll control the fusion fuel, at most the energy of a grenade."

"I can't stand that grenade exploding here. Can it be lowered? Got a firecracker? ”

"There's no point in going low." Ye Ming shook his head with a smile, and then walked towards the two-dimensional unfolder.

In appearance, it is a large ring about two meters in diameter supported in mid-air, densely covered with dimension constraints, and below the ring is an anti-gravity force field generation device, whose function is to suspend the matter in the air so that it can be contacted by the two-dimensional space film and be double-unfolded - after unfolding, it also needs to be compressed and fixed on the "smoothest" substrate material.

By far the smoothest material is naturally a neutron film.

But that thing...... Let's put it this way, in the last experiment, if the conventional input-output ratio was followed, then the cost of that small neutron film was as high as one billion.

The good thing is that graphene is cheap, and it is theoretically feasible.

Seeing Ye Ming coming, everyone stopped discussing.

"So we're ready to get started?"
