Chapter 141 The real meaning of controlled nuclear fusion
“…”
Minister Hu knew that he was in vain. The leader’s words behind him were not the point, and the young man in front was more energetic was the point.
He guessed that even if Lu Yi was going to smash the venue right now, the leader would happily help him to ask for something because there was something wrong with the venue layout, so General Manager Lu exposed the matter for the reason for rectification.
"Originally, such a briefing should have been placed in the Bird's Nest in Shangjing would have taken more attention, but at my cheeky request, I put it in Zhongda."
Let his fans around the playground calm down, Lu Yi said with a smile: "I won't talk about the development history and technical details of controllable nuclear fusion today. As you know, from today on, the controllable nuclear fusion technology will be officially mastered by us humans.
Today we will talk about what controllable nuclear fusion technology can bring to us?
I use my ideas and perspectives as the chief engineer of this project and as a scientist to talk to you about this issue.
Before I talk about my opinion, I would like to ask you, what is the biggest change brought about by your human controlled nuclear fusion?"
"It can reduce pollution!" "Human productivity level can be improved rapidly!" "More convenient and popular electric transportation!"
The researchers did not speak, but the students from the outside shouted in great cooperation.
"Students who only talk about reducing pollution must not study hard. This is not an opinion that a student from 985 College can express. It is too superficial."
After hearing this, Lu Yi shook his head and smiled: "Controllable nuclear fusion brings us changes, both from top to bottom and from bottom to top, and it can lead us to the starry sky."
“I know you might be confused when you hear this.
Because of the knowledge we have learned, our long-standing ideas tell us: outer space is dangerous, the alien environment is extreme, and we are nurtured by the earth, so our body structure and physiological functions are only suitable for the earth.
Getting rid of the constraints of the planet is not just an energy problem, it is a comprehensive problem that covers all majors such as engineering, materials, biology, physics, mathematics, etc.
If civilization wants to move towards the starry sky, in addition to the development of aerospace technology and space technology, another crucial discipline is the development of biology. Without the existence of a life-saving system, there is no possibility of space navigation. After all, not everyone is astronauts, and the output of space suit manufacturers is insufficient.
This is the biggest problem that has troubled civilizations leaving the planet, otherwise the launch vehicle would have sent everyone to heaven to launch galaxy colonization.
No matter how powerful the controlled nuclear fusion is, if other industries and disciplines do not develop, it is destined to be impossible to rely on the planet to restrain themselves. After all, we cannot charge and make a living, right?
But all this is no longer a problem after the breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion, or the difficulty of the problem is decreasing exponentially."
"I always feel that Lu Lu wants to make trouble..." Brother Zao, who knows Lu Yi, and the others, couldn't help but say when they heard this.
"As a scientist and a student at the 985 Academy, I think everyone present knows a situation, that is, the development of civilization is not the development of theory, it is the process of moving from theory to reality after the development of theory."
Lu Yi paused for a second when he said this, his eyes shining brightly and firmly said: "We have no problem with our theory!
Energy shields, ultra-high-speed aerospace engines, artificial biospheres, artificial gravity environments, planetary environmental transformations, including a variety of high-energy weapons and mass weapons, these technologies are no problem in our theory.
Even genetic repair and genetic modification in science fiction have a rough direction.
Our theory not only supports breaking away from the constraints of the planet, but is also sufficient to support us in colonizing the surrounding galaxies.
But in the process of moving from theory to practice, we have problems.
Due to the cost, resources, energy, and even the human system, we have to cut down a large amount of research investment over the years, cut down a large number of scientific research projects, and even give up a large number of scientific research talents with high talent!
We can't afford to support it, yes, we used to be unable to support it, so many scientific research projects, and so many scientific research talents.
That feeling, that kind of powerlessness, is like knowing that your child has high talent but is unable to provide for and cultivate.
But now it’s different. The breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion gives us almost endless energy compared to this stage.
Starting today, we can afford it!
We can restart scientific research projects that we could not afford before, and we can rediscover the buried talents. Our scientific researchers no longer have to work hard to flatter investors for a little bit of scientific research funding. This is not their job!
They just need to do their own research with peace of mind, do their favorite research, use their talents, their thoughts and their brains to transform them as the most fundamental driving force of this civilization.
Which of the mobile phones, computers, various daily necessities, transportation, clothes worn by everyone is not researched by researchers?
Even the food, fruits and vegetables that everyone eats are indispensable to the power of scientific research. Scientists have cultivated higher yields of grain, developed more efficient fertilizers, invented better production tools, etc.
When our scientific research power is freed from cost limitations and resource limitations, all kinds of life changes you can think of, or even life changes you cannot think of, will appear.
This is the bottom-up reform, this is the root of civilization.”
"I saw the excitement in everyone's eyes and the longing in everyone's eyes. Everyone may be racking their brains to think, what would it be like if such a picture is really realized?
I also saw my group of colleagues below, empathizing in the eyes of these hard-working scientific researchers, and seeing their past grievances and powerlessness. After all, it is rare for scientists as rich as me in this world. They have all been humble for their funds and have been spitting on their own for research resources.
Of course, I also saw doubts and doubts, thinking that what I said was absurd words and pure fallacies, but due to the emotions of the whole group, my status and capital, these doubts and doubts were not expressed.
It doesn't matter, you can tell if you have any questions.
This big brother, I see you want to speak but stop. Come on, please ignore my identity and tell me your different opinions.
Although I have money, I think I am still a scientist, a scientist who can accept denial and doubt.”
Lu Yi's eyes swept around the audience and finally located a young researcher from China.
When Lu Yi reached out to him, several staff members from the CUHK immediately walked over and took a microphone for him.
"General Manager Lu, I have no intention of refuting the future you expected."
The young researcher hesitated and said, "I just think the future you expected is too perfect. The breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion brings about energy-based qualitative change, but what about material resources?
The development of civilization is not enough to have energy alone, and material resources are also an indispensable item. Some scarce material elements cannot be solved by energy breakthroughs."
"The problem of resources is not difficult. I think as a researcher, I think there is no problem in understanding the basic structure of matter and the conversion of mass and energy."
Lu Yi answered this question in a simple sentence.
“What about the resource cost?”
The young researcher then asked: "Even if we can obtain the compounds we want through various chemical reactions, and even technology can further obtain the elemental elements we need from the recombination level of atomic nucleus through fission or fusion, how should we solve this cost problem?"
"You think it through a thorough consideration, but you are just considering this issue from a simple scientific researcher and from a scientist's perspective."
Lu Yi smiled and said seriously: "I have always advocated that we scientists should consider issues not only from the scientific research and technical level, but also from the human factors and social factors to consider issues more comprehensively.
This answer is in the university’s Mazra textbook.”
