Mars, the city of Utopia.

The 4088 nuclear plant is a plant that specializes in the production of controlled nuclear fusion equipment, and also undertakes part of the research and development and testing work.

Under the leadership of Dr. Yuri, Li Qingye came to the R&D base of this factory.

He suddenly saw a familiar face.

The man also saw Li Qingye's face, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Mr. Chairman, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Dr. Levi! Have you come to Mars to investigate the application of binary neutron materials? ”

That person was Dr. Levi's, the founder of the nuclear industry of Homo sapiens, and he smiled and nodded: "Of course I can't miss the double neutron material, this is the cornerstone of the next industrial revolution!" ”

In fact, for Dr. Levi, his status in Homo sapiens is already very high, and there is no need to come and do it himself, but he has been used to it for so many years, and it is this persistent attitude that makes Dr. Levi keep up with the trend of the times.

Li Qingye proposed: "Since the doctor is also here to investigate, let's stop by and investigate together!" ”

"Good! I also touched the wisdom of the chairman. Dr. Levi joked.

"Haha......" Dr. Yuri couldn't help but laugh.

The three of them entered the scientific research base together.

In the empty field, a huge device similar to an "old pumpkin" is being displayed, which is one of the targets that Li Qingye wants to investigate this time, the Type 5 controllable nuclear fusion device.

Homo sapiens' controlled nuclear fusion has been developed for five generations in just over a decade.

The first generation of technology is the earth-hearth controlled nuclear fusion technology.

The second generation of technology is Levi's controlled nuclear fusion.

The third-generation technology and the fourth-generation technology draw on some materials and technologies of intelligent machine civilization, which is equivalent to an upgraded version of Levi's controllable nuclear fusion technology.

The controllable nuclear fusion device in front of us is the fifth-generation technology, also known as "magnetic cage controllable nuclear fusion technology".

Dr. Yuri explained the distinction between several generations of controlled nuclear fusion technology: "Chairman, the first generation of controlled nuclear fusion can only use hydrogen bomb nuclear explosions to generate crude electricity, and the second generation of technology, Dr. Levi knows better than me......

Dr. Levi's is naturally clear about the specific distinction between controlled nuclear fusion techniques.

The intergenerational boundary of Homo sapiens' controllable nuclear fusion technology is the depth of nuclear fusion.

The so-called "nuclear fusion depth" refers to the node of the nuclear fusion chain from hydrogen nuclear fusion to iron.

The first generation of controlled nuclear fusion technology could only go from hydrogen to helium, and only once during the process.

The second-generation technology can produce nuclear fusion to carbon in terms of energy output, which is equivalent to six nuclear fusions.

The third-generation technology nuclear fusion to neon is equivalent to ten nuclear fusions.

Fourth-generation technology nuclear fusion to aluminum, which is equivalent to fourteen nuclear fusions.

By the fifth generation of technology, the limit has been reached in one step, and a total of 26 nuclear fusions have been carried out from hydrogen nuclear fusion to iron.

The nuclear fusion potential of hydrogen has been squeezed to the extreme, and the elements after iron are heavy elements, and there is no way to carry out nuclear fusion.

Levi sighed lightly: "The binary neutron material is so powerful, if we had this material in the first place, there would be no need to go to great lengths to design those complex controllable nuclear fusion configurations." ”

In this regard, Li Qingye did not deny the historical merits of the previous generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology: "There is no need for doctors to be arrogant, after all, thousands of high-rise buildings start from the ground, there is no original foundation, and where are today's two-neutron materials." ”

This is like eating, eating five steamed buns to be full, instead of skipping the first four tomorrows and eating the fifth steamed bun directly, you will not be full.

Even if Homo sapiens has taken some detours in the development of controlled nuclear fusion technology, there are some mistakes that must be borne as a pioneer.

After all, there are no stones to touch in front of you, so you can only cross the river on your own.

The current Homo sapiens company is in the stage of a long way ahead, and in the face of the foggy second-level civilization, the company does not know how to develop, so it can only continue to trial and error.

Li Qingye can know that the dual neutron materials of Homo sapiens are only obtained by accident.

In many cases, each first-level civilization has its own special circumstances, and it is difficult to replicate.

Li Qingye has a deep understanding of this after browsing the database of intelligent machine civilization.

Homo sapiens was very fortunate to obtain a special material called a magnetic monopole crystal without being promoted to a first-level civilization, and realized long-distance delay-free communication technology.

It also goes hand in hand with biotechnology and machine technology, and has not developed into a technological reminder that walks on one foot.

You must know that in the records of intelligent machine civilization, the scientific and technological systems of many first-level civilizations are biased.

The Six-Claw civilization is a prime example of this.

Later, Homo sapiens obtained the scientific and technological data of the six-clawed civilization and the intelligent machine civilization, which quickly completed the scientific and technological system of the Homo sapiens company.

The current Homo sapiens company, its scientific and technological system is very comprehensive, and it is also a relatively powerful existence in the first-level civilization.

Because of this, this also leads to another problem, that is, there is no longer an object to refer to.

As for the quasi-second-level civilization that defeated the intelligent machine civilization, the intelligent machine civilization did not have much information about the other party, and those intelligent machine clans who had come into contact with the quasi-second-level civilization were already dead, and they didn't even give much back information.

Li Qingye and other top scientists of Homo sapiens have been thinking about the future direction of development for some time.

How to promote from a first-level civilization to a second-level civilization, and what kind of technology does a second-level civilization need, this makes Li Qingye and the others rack their brains, if it weren't for the body's special hair maintenance mechanism, they might really be "extremely smart".

At present, the possible directions that have been included in the second-level civilization science and technology are: "light-year-level delay-free communication technology", "neutron degenerate state materials", "gravitational field thrusters", "antimatter manufacturing technology", "vacuum zero-point energy extraction technology", "wormhole manufacturing technology", "soul technology", and "four forces unification technology".

These technologies are the second-level civilization technologies that Li Qingye and a group of top scientists are currently thinking about.

As for the real second-level civilization, whether they have these technologies or not, they have no way of knowing, they can only rely on their own thinking.

After all, the second-level civilization will definitely not reveal the direction of technological development to the first-level civilization.

In fact, Li Qingye didn't have the luxury of obtaining the technology of a second-level civilization, because it was too dangerous.

In a sense, if there really is a second-level civilization in the universe, then they are most likely observers, and they only observe the first-level civilization, and will not actively contact the first-level civilization.

Of course, this is just some of Li Qingye's own ideas, which is equivalent to peeking at a leopard in a tube or seeing flowers in a fog.
