Chapter 554 - 554 The Birth of Ace Technology
554 The Birth of Ace Technology
In Wu Mo’s grand plan, the realization of controllable nuclear fusion would lead Earth to a higher level of civilization.
If controllable nuclear fusion could be widely used in various fields, the lives of humans on Earth would undergo earth-shattering changes.
However, this was something that Carlot and other planets with advanced civilizations did not want to see.
Nevertheless, the development of controllable nuclear fusion was unstoppable!
One day, good news finally came from the Western Desert.
Wu Mo immediately put down his work and rushed to the base.
Energy was continuously being generated in a huge steel furnace before it was transmitted through a thick optical cable.
Its target was a huge wind turbine that was on standby.
Although the receiver was disconnected, the wind turbine’s huge steel blades still spun with the controllable nuclear fusion energy supply.
An excited scientist told Wu Mo, “Chief Engineer Wu, we’ve successfully developed true controllable nuclear fusion! From today onward, China will welcome an unprecedented energy revolution!”
Wu Mo was filled with joy, and he immediately informed the old chief.
The old chief could not help but rejoice and report it to his superiors.
Eventually, all the important figures in China knew about it.
They could announce to the world that controllable nuclear fusion had become a reality!
The world was shaken by the news.
“Heavens! China has successfully developed controllable nuclear fusion! They’re standing at the forefront of the world thanks to this discovery. We have to follow in their footsteps closely, or else we won’t be able to compete with them!” someone exclaimed.
Someone else sighed and could not help but curiously ask, “What will China do next? Will they develop a manned s.p.a.ceship to explore the galaxy and outer s.p.a.ce soon?”
Another person replied, “The birth of controllable nuclear fusion is a huge opportunity for the entire planet. We have to keep up with China’s pace and not fall behind!”
The reactions of the countries around the world varied greatly.
Many countries immediately expressed their willingness to send scientific research teams to China. They wanted to learn from them and even claimed that they were willing to pay a huge sum of money in learning fees.
However, China’s base decisively rejected these requests!
After all, China had only developed the first controllable nuclear fusion reactor so far. Granted, the energy it produced was already amazing.
With this as the foundation, China would continue to develop more controllable nuclear fusion reactors.
One day, Wu Mo held a secret meeting with a group of top scientists, including physicists, biologists, and pharmacists.
A mysterious researcher presided over the meeting and proposed a clear goal: He wanted to develop ten controllable nuclear fusion reactors in a short period of time.
Next, China made plans to abolish more than ninety percent of its traditional power-generation facilities. They would widely use controllable nuclear fusion technology to deliver energy to China instead.
The mysterious man landed his gaze on Wu Mo and slowly asked, “Chief Engineer Wu, we will do our best to solve the material problem. Do you have any ideas, though?”
Wu Mo contemplated for a moment and replied, “I think we can expand the search area at the seafloor. We can search thousands of nautical miles away from the site of the explosion. We might find something important.”
Hearing Wu Mo’s suggestion, the mysterious researcher nodded and praised him, “That’s right, we should expand our search area. After all, they’ve already discovered so many mysterious metal boxes. Perhaps there are more precious relics hidden in the depths of the sea.”
The range of the previous explosion at the wormhole had been quite huge. However, they had limited their search to only a few hundred nautical miles.
Now, it had become a norm for nuclear-powered submarines to go on searches.
The mysterious researcher firmly believed that if they expanded the range of their search, they might be able to gain more benefits.
This solved the material issue that surrounded the nuclear reactor.
After the small meeting ended, the mysterious researcher started another highly-private discussion with Wu Mo and two key material experts.
At this time, Wu Mo learned that the mysterious person was one of China’s top key figures in scientific research. He had worked hard for the scientific community, and Wu Mo really respected him.
The researcher announced that after careful a.n.a.lysis, the metal boxes contained eight components that did not belong to the periodic table.
Everyone listened in surprise. The periodic table contained all the elements on Earth, but now, eight unknown elements made up the metal box.
Therefore, it was almost impossible to find such a metal on Earth because it was impossible to discover the eight new elements.
The mysterious researcher slowly said, “I think we should use controllable nuclear fusion to propel s.p.a.ceships to other planets. That way, we can search for these unknown elements to develop more controllable nuclear fusion reactors.”
Although it was a good idea, it was too difficult to actualize.
Wu Mo thoughtfully added, “That won’t do. If our s.p.a.ceships are discovered by the Carlotians, they’ll likely report back to Carlot. When that happens, they may pose a fatal threat to us.”
Their hearts sank when they heard Wu Mo’s response. This was their greatest concern.
Once that day arrived, the entire human planet would be embroiled in an interstellar war.
Resisting the sea monsters had already cost humanity a huge price. They were still covered in wounds. Hence, one could only imagine what would happen in an interstellar war.
Even though mankind had controllable nuclear fusion as their first trump card, it was not enough to compete with those advanced civilizations.
The mysterious researcher made a final declaration, “Everyone, we don’t have any more active measures at the moment. Let’s wait for the results of the underwater search!”
The meeting then came to an end.
After that, Wu Mo went to the Western Desert to check on the first nuclear reactor.
This controllable nuclear reactor was energy-rich, environmentally friendly, and easy to maintain.
It contained endless energy, and it could transmit energy far away with little loss.
China quickly underwent earth-shaking changes. Some power generation facilities were withdrawn, and many people lost their jobs.
The energy revolution eliminated those who could not keep up with the times.
Plus, the birth of controllable nuclear fusion made certain countries jealous. They researched the subject day and night, but they failed to make progress.
China had strict control over materials, so other countries could not covet them.
At this time, a sea monster appeared again. This time, it was the h.e.l.lhound.
This creature had three heads, and it was completely black. It looked like a monster from h.e.l.l.
The people in the city watched it with curiosity, and some even felt a sense of novelty.
Someone exclaimed, “Look, isn’t it a h.e.l.lhound?”
“That’s right,” another person replied. “Its three heads resemble that of Cerberus in the myths and legends!”
“Haha, Cerberus? We’ve finally seen the legendary monster!” someone else said excitedly.
The h.e.l.lhound was shocked to find that humans were no longer afraid of it. Instead, they treated it like an animal in the zoo.
It was so angry that it scrunched all three of its noses. Suddenly, it let out a deafening roar.
Boom! It opened its three mouths at the same time, and the superimposed sound wave was unbearable.
The ground cracked, and seawater poured in. Many houses along the coast ended up submerged.
“Heavens, run! The h.e.l.lhound is too scary!”
Just as people started to panic, a mech appeared out of nowhere.
It was a mech with human and machine integration, but its pilot was neither Dongfang Moyu nor Hong Peng.
