The elements in the periodic table are the most stable in the environment of the Earth, or the solar system.

The difficult conditions for fusion of these relatively stable elements are indeed that the heavier the element, the more demanding the conditions for fusion become.

But these elements that exist in the universe have a variety of isotopes and even some exotic substances. On the other hand, the isotopes and exotic substances of these elements are not so stable, and their stock is very small in the cosmic environment, or even does not exist at all in the cosmic environment.

Hearing Fan Xiaoming say this, Zuo Dajun thought for a while and said: "Yes, I didn't take into account the isotopes of those elements, the isotopes of many elements are inherently unstable, and those messy and strange substances, speaking of which, the matter in the universe is not like what we learn in textbooks, in fact, there are many unexpected things." Bao Qi nodded and said: "That's the case, the explosion of these elemental synthesis devices is a good example, as long as those strange substances are provided with a proper existence environment, they can also exist for a long time, but the cosmic environment is like this, of course, in the environment where those strange substances exist, there may be normal elements that exist normally now, and they may not be able to exist in that environment." Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "That's the case, now many domestic scientific research teams are doing research in this area, such as the energy balance point in the high-energy environment, speaking of different environments, the energy balance point is different, such as the earth and the sun, the energy balance point is completely different." ”

"Yes! I know something about this. Bauchi explained,

"As far as the digital life we study is concerned, from the very beginning of the design, it is to make its consciousness carrier based on high temperature and high pressure, once the consciousness carrier of digital life is out of the high temperature and high pressure environment, its carrier will lose its activity, and the digital life itself will disappear, which is our means of limiting digital life." For the research of digital life and strong artificial intelligence, there are many restrictions from the beginning, and these limitations are not one or two lines of defense, but based on their existence.

For example, human beings must depend on the environment of the earth at this stage for their survival. Even if human beings are scattered in that corner of the universe, they have to rely on such an environment.

On the other hand, if human beings are no longer dependent on such an environment to survive, then nine out of ten human beings are no longer the human beings of the past, and they must have been transformed.

For the current design of digital life, its consciousness carrier, that is, the transparent ball researched, needs to be activated in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment.

The reason for this is to protect against digital life. Of course, this is only one of the means of prevention, and it is the most effective and fundamental compared to other means of prevention.

If you think about it, you can know that if the created digital life is the same as the living environment of human beings, then digital life will compete with human beings for living space, and this is inevitable.

Zuo Dajun smiled with a smile on his face, and said with some excitement: "I also know this, for example, the ionization furnace where we are located, we study the energy balance here and the environment here, maybe we can create a life based on this environment, so that the living space of this life will not coincide with the living space of our human beings, at least we have a home field advantage in the event of a conflict, and it is convenient for us to monitor these lives." Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "That's how it should be...... Speaking of cold nuclear fusion, the same is true, the helium isotopes and beryllium isotopes that are fused in the element synthesis device this time are like this, which rarely exist in the current cosmic environment, or even non-existent, the environment in which these isotopes exist is somewhat harsh, but the conditions for the fusion of these isotopes are much lower than the elements that can exist for a long time in these environments. As he spoke, Fan Xiaoming looked at Su Zhe.

Su Zhe smiled, and then said: "The cause of the explosion of the element synthesis device this time is that the newly produced helium isotope and beryllium isotope in the element synthesis cavity coincidentally collided together, and it happened that the fusion reaction occurred. As he spoke, Su Zhe waved his hand, and the picture of the explosion of the synthesis cavity of the elemental synthesis device and the corresponding data appeared in front of several people.

Fan Xiaoming added: "At that time, the explosion scared everyone, and at that moment, the SS-defense system entered a state of alert, even if the explosion was a little more serious, the SS-defense system could turn the elemental synthesis device into ashes." Zuo Dajun stared at the data for a long time, and said with a smile: "This ...... The conditions for fusion to occur are too low compared to thermonuclear fusion, no wonder it is cold nuclear fusion, which is indeed cold nuclear fusion. Bao Qi nodded and said, "Yes, this is proper cold nuclear fusion, so to speak, this discovery has made us re-focus on cold nuclear fusion, and we have one more choice." "Cold nuclear fusion and thermonuclear fusion both have their own drawbacks and advantages.

This discovery gave it an additional option. At this time, the picture in front of several people changed.

What appeared was the culprit of the explosion, as well as helium isotopes and beryllium isotopes, and the structure of these two isotopes and other related data appeared in front of several people, Hao Yi explained on the side.

"This helium isotope and beryllium isotope have not been found in nature so far, no way, these two isotopes cannot exist for a long time at today's energy equilibrium, and their decay time is extremely short. This time, the two were able to collide and have nuclear fusion completely by luck. From our study of the two isotopes, we can know that because these two are unstable at the current energy equilibrium, the conditions for nuclear fusion are greatly reduced, which is what we call cold nuclear fusion. Experiments are underway, such as the preparation and preservation of these two isotopes, and the fusion of the two, which are estimated to be more successful than the proton fusion device. Of course, these two isotopes can be regarded as knocking on the door of cold nuclear fusion, and now many researchers who study high-energy physics and nuclear fusion are crazy, constantly looking for elemental isotopes, and pairing these elemental isotopes with each other. Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Not to mention, the progress is still very large, many scientific research teams have discovered new fusion between elemental isotopes, but now the conditions for nuclear fusion found are much higher than those for helium isotopes and beryllium isotopes to undergo nuclear fusion, but it is foreseeable that cold nuclear fusion will usher in explosive development." As he spoke, the fusion process of helium and beryllium isotopes in the picture in front of several people was also shown.

After fusion occurs between the two, its product is carbon. Hearing this, Zuo Dajun was excited about a lot of things, and said with a smile: "If you look at it this way, cold nuclear fusion will soon replace thermonuclear fusion, after all, the conditions for cold nuclear fusion are low, unlike thermonuclear fusion, even hydrogen nuclear fusion is so harsh." Fan Xiaoming shook his head and said: "It is almost impossible for cold nuclear fusion to replace thermonuclear fusion, you only think about the conditions for nuclear fusion to occur, you don't think about the nuclear raw materials themselves, really to say, the importance of proton fusion devices is much greater than cold nuclear fusion." Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "Why do we value proton nuclear fusion, instead of the traditional research of hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium, it stands to reason that the conditions for the fusion of these two isotopes are much lower than the conditions for nuclear fusion between protons and protons." ”

"Nuclear material." Zuo Dajun said,

"It's because of the abundance of deuterium and tritium in the universe, and the abundance of protons, that is, hydrogen, is almost the most of all elements in the universe, once we master the proton fusion technology, we won't have a headache because of the problem of nuclear raw materials, after all, the most in the universe is hydrogen-1." Su Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, it is almost impossible for cold nuclear fusion to replace thermonuclear fusion, but it is still possible as a supplement." The raw material of the proton fusion device we are studying is protons, that is, hydrogen-1, as you said, the most in the universe is protons, even if it is interstellar flight in the future, we will not have no energy available because of the problem of nuclear fuel. As long as we master proton nuclear fusion technology, we human beings will be able to master eternal energy, and we will truly achieve energy freedom. Cold nuclear fusion is different, take the helium isotope and beryllium isotope that fuse in the synthesis cavity of the element synthesis device, these two isotopes have never been found in nature by us humans, and even if there is, it is in an extreme environment, which means that helium isotopes and beryllium isotopes are almost impossible to obtain in nature. The conditions for cold nuclear fusion are low, but nuclear fuel is basically synthesized artificially, which means that the development of cold nuclear fusion is limited by nuclear fuel. This restriction is more serious than that of fissile nuclear fuel in the past, at least fission nuclear fuel is less in nature, but there are still some good things, but cold nuclear fusion nuclear fuel is basically non-existent. Speaking of which, the miniaturization of cold nuclear fusion is much simpler than thermonuclear fusion, and the process of synthesizing cold nuclear fusion nuclear fuel is actually the process of energy storage, so cold nuclear fusion will be a good complement to thermonuclear fusion. ”

"Got it!" Zuo Dajun smiled and nodded,

"In this case, after the success of cold nuclear fusion, nuclear fission can be replaced, and the goal of the elemental synthesis device will change again, and the nuclear power plants that have been built now will also be eliminated." In other words, the speed of development in the past year has been too fast.

Many facilities were eliminated when they were still under construction, and it can only be said that the speed of technology iteration is too fast, and the construction of facilities is not at all up to speed.

Fan Xiaoming smiled and nodded,

"This is certain, whether it is energy storage or backup energy, cold nuclear fusion has advantages over nuclear fission, and nuclear fission is basically a sure thing." Zuo Dajun smiled helplessly and said: "There is no perfect good thing in this world, thermonuclear fusion nuclear fuel can be said to be everywhere, but the reaction conditions are too harsh, as far as the proton fusion device is concerned, it is too difficult to miniaturize, and the cold nuclear fusion conditions are not harsh, and the miniaturization is relatively simple, but there is basically no nuclear fuel in the universe, and it needs to be synthesized artificially, which is too difficult." ”

"It's good to be able to do it, and we don't want to be too demanding." Fan Xiaoming smiled,

"We almost understand the matter of cold nuclear fusion, we continue to look at the space farm, after reading this, we continue to look at the space ranch, and the artificial womb we want to see is still waiting for us to visit." When Fan Xiaoming finished speaking, the pictures in front of several people disappeared, and some of them were the incandescent light and the red-white ionic mixture.

It was also at this time that the ionization furnace slowly became translucent. Su Zhe and the others followed behind the narrator.

After leaving the ionizer, several people appeared in an environment with a strong electric field and a strong magnetic field. The ionic mixture is rapidly shunted down after entering the place, and the different elements, different isotopes, and so on are separated one by one.

In the end, all that is separated together are elemental elements of the same isotope of the element. Next, the group saw the formation of various compounds.

For example, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, silicates and other compounds that support the growth of crops such as land and air.

Obviously, this process is like a super-giant chemical plant. In the end, Su Zhe and the others saw that it was the black soil, water, fertilizer, and air that were needed by these crops.

After reading this, what you see again is almost the same as what you see on the space farm. Large and small different crops, pastures, etc.

The difference is that the crops here are in all growing seasons, and those that are ripe are being harvested.

Similarly, the entire process is automated, intelligent, and requires no human involvement. Crops, pastures, etc., are harvested and processed into a variety of feeds.

Zuo Dajun looked at the pig feed in front of him, and sighed: "From those household garbage and minerals, through the classification of substances, to the synthesis of substances...... To the pig feed in front of us, the whole process is so silky, by the way, in fact, we can skip the link of crops, and can directly synthesize pig feed, even if it is not now, it will be fine after a while. "Synthetic rice has come out, and there is no difficulty in synthesizing pig feed.

Whether it's synthesized or used in the current way, the use of this energy is also terrifying. Now it doesn't matter about energy, there is energy provided by the light pillar project, and it doesn't care about energy consumption.

In his opinion, the most energy-consuming process is the process of material classification and synthesis, which is simply high energy consumption.

In the past, many technologies were already mastered, but it was too difficult to obtain energy, and the total amount of energy was limited, so it was impossible to not care about energy consumption at all as it is now.

For example, the synthesis of gold, who did it in the past and who was stupid, is different now. Then there is the disposal of garbage in the past, which is not impossible to dispose of, but cannot be drawn.
