Chapter 114: Trends of Thought

At this time, another physicist in the same group took over with a smile.

“…… Without the 'controlled fusion' technology gifted by the 'Observer Civilization', we don't know how long it will take us to achieve controlled nuclear fusion." Now I see hope. ”

"And once a breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology is achieved, the impact can be described as earth-shattering."

"It's also ......"

The physicist who had spoken earlier also smiled and nodded.

And at this time, he looked at Wu Mu in the sky outside the window, and said again,

“…… Probably the most important impact is that we know he exists. No matter how far away it is...... Knowing this, our psychology changes. ”

"Of course, it may also have been worn out over time, after all, we can't reach him."

Wu Mu spoke, stopped his voice, and turned his head.

The two physicists listened to the silence, and then one of the physicists said optimistically,

"This may be a good thing, knowing the existence of borders will one day break through the borders, and indeed knowing the existence of other civilizations, no matter how far away, we will eventually have the desire to communicate with 'him'...... Perhaps it can be regarded as a clear and long-term goal for human civilization. ”

"Hmmm......"

Wu Mu answered.

The three of them skimmed over the topic.

"Professor Wu, what do you think is the greatest value of our human civilization?"

"It's hard to see the whole picture. I don't know. ”

Perhaps there is also an impact...... It is these two questions of trials that may haunt humanity for a long time.

……

Ji Zhuo spent some brushstrokes and wrote down a scene of dialogue on the way,

The plot continued to develop relatively quickly.

in the text.

After Wu Mu returned to Capital University,

Nothing seems to have happened around us,

The students are still in school, and the lecturers at the university are still lecturing.

It's just that this is just the beginning of a change together.

Soon, some experts in the field of nuclear fusion and professors in the field of materials were secretly transferred from the capital university.

Wu Mu knew this, just because some of the experts and professors attending the meeting still maintained a certain amount of communication after the meeting.

And at the same time, I don't know what kind of idea and purpose,

The relevant preparations and measures of the government for this matter were synchronized with the experts and professors attending the meeting.

For example, the research and mastery of the 'controlled nuclear fusion technology' presented by the 'observer civilization'.

Wu Mu knows,

The government has mobilized a large number of experts, and with the participation of these experts and scholars, the part of the data on 'controlled nuclear fusion technology' has been decoded and translated.

After the relevant experts have studied and mastered this 'controlled nuclear fusion' technology,

It was found that this information contained a new and complete path to controlled nuclear fusion.

A technology is still completely perfected and mature, probably to the extent that human civilization can use the second or even third generation of small fusion reactors.

thereupon

After these experts mastered this 'controlled nuclear fusion' technology,

The construction of the 'New Controlled Nuclear Experimental Reactor' has begun.

In the book, Wu Mu's country has invested a lot of manpower and resources in this project, and a huge project team has been established.

The experimental reactor was built in a suitable location by the sea, with an authoritative academician in the field of controlled nuclear fusion as the project leader.

The goal of the experimental reactor is to directly meet the standards of the demonstration reactor and to be able to generate electricity and power at a considerable capacity.

And at the same time,

In addition to Wu Mu's country, some other major countries are also vigorously building 'controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactors'.

As for some of the smaller countries, even they have access to this information.

But they don't have the resources or the capacity to build a controlled fusion reactor.

thereupon

Almost inevitably, there is a wave of competition among the major powers for the pace of building controlled fusion reactors.

And at the same time,

There is another thing that the great powers are doing,

It is the proof of the Riemann conjecture.

Scholars were selected to focus on this issue.

Through policy measures, relevant scholars and researchers will be stimulated to conduct research on related issues in this regard.

At the same time, basic theoretical research is vigorously encouraged.

After all, the study of basic theories is systematic.

Perhaps a conclusion that does not have much practical value is a precondition for the proof of the Riemann conjecture.

It may also be the absence of some basic theories that have kept the proof of the Riemann hypothesis at a standstill.

But these,

It has little to do with Wu Mu, a scholar of history.

He still went to class as usual and did his historical research.

It's only occasionally that I receive relevant news from the official side, and I think about some questions about 'observer civilization'.

However, the impact of the electromagnetic wave signal sent by the observer civilization is still shown in the whole society.

It is also presented around Kuregi.

In the beginning, it was mainly on the tide of ideas.

The electromagnetic signals emitted by the 'observer civilization' are really not so difficult to receive.

As a result, many institutions received electromagnetic signals at that time, including some private organizations.

So even if the major powers are silent on this matter,

But this matter is still noisy and lively on the Internet.

However, fortunately, there are still some difficulties in translating the information sent by the observer civilization, and the official obviously ends up confusing the public.

As a result, public opinion on the Internet is basically unanimous that there are extraterrestrial civilizations that have sent messages to human beings.

But as for what exactly is in the message, the news on the Internet is very messy.

And the real content is mixed in, which makes it unclear to most people.

And at the same time,

The official competition of various countries for the progress of the construction of the 'controlled nuclear fusion reactor',

and measures to encourage basic research,

As a result, the entire social trend of thought is biased towards the direction of theoretical and scientific and technological research...... At that time, the number of students who applied for science and engineering courses increased significantly, and the most discussed thing on the Internet was the breakthrough in technological research.

Even the usual common celebrity news has been suppressed.

And in this state of thought,

Wu Mu's most intuitive feeling is...... There are fewer students applying for history majors.

Or a lot less.

He was also interested in teaching a history elective.

It used to be full, but during this time, as soon as class was held, there were a few people in the class.

In the dead of night,

Wu Mu looked at the progress of the official passage of the relevant information,

I can't help but think,

At a time when it is clear that great development is about to begin, or another industrial revolution in human civilization,

He, a historian, can do something.

He seems to have lost all his effect.

Inexplicably...... Wu Mu was even wondering if he should also study other science majors while he was still young.

In the future, with the development of science and technology, more and more scientific research workers will definitely be needed.

With this inexplicable thought,

Wu Mu fell asleep.

After this,

The time span is starting to speed up again.

In the text,

Because of the investment of a lot of manpower and resources,

Coupled with strong organizational skills, Wu Mu's country was the first to build a controlled nuclear fusion reactor that relied on technology provided by the 'observer civilization'.

The ignition of this experimental demonstration reactor was successfully completed, the operation time was continuous, and the power generation was perfectly as expected.

Subsequently, the demonstration reactor was converted to commercial use and directly connected to the grid for power generation.

After the success of the demonstration reactor, because the technology provided by the observer civilization is itself perfect,

More fusion reactors are being built everywhere.

This set off a earth-shaking change in the entire civilization.
