Chapter 21 Everest Mass Accelerator (5200)
The Qingluan-class stealth ultra-high-speed aircraft is triangular, a creation that looks more like a missile than an airplane.
It is an 'aerospace aircraft' that uses the experience of ancient immortals to make shuttles, and is made of special extraordinary materials, which can shelter from the wind and penetrate the air, and regard the air in the atmosphere as a vacuum.
At the beginning of the design of the Qingluan class, it was to design a kind of aircraft that could be carried on space warships as an auxiliary aircraft for carrier-based fighters, but because it was realized that if small unit targets were needed in the universe for close-range combat, after special design, it could strengthen the exoskeleton armor of the transcendent, which was far better than that of the aircraft, so after the production of a few units, it stopped continuing research and development, and continued production, and the project was mothballed.
Today, the known Qingluan class is used as a fast-moving device between the bases of the lunar surface, as well as a mobile device in some special areas of the earth.
Su Ri and Tang Yuan, as well as the craftsman saint, were sitting in the belly of the machine at the moment. The Qingluan-class aircraft ignited and took off, and even Su Tian sensed a familiar feeling of 'Lan Seed Activation' - because in the next moment, a layer of spiritual power that isolated air resistance surrounded the body, and the light blue fire exploded in the tail of the aircraft, accelerating it to supersonic speed in an instant.
Five seconds later, they were in the middle of the stratosphere.
- It seems that the structure of the Arashi seed can imitate this aircraft next time, and it is really not very beautiful to always fly around as a missile rocket.
Feeling the incomparably smooth acceleration process of the Qingluan-level, Su Tian's heart moved, and he immediately began to use his spiritual power to perceive the structure of the aircraft under him.
In this regard, the craftsman saint did not say anything, and was even quite happy to see it.
"Our goal is to be home to the 'Everest Mass Accelerator' in Tibet. It's fast. ”
At this time, the Holy Seat sat down in his seat unhurriedly, and he smiled quite smugly at the two of them: "I am the designer of the core area of the mass accelerator, and I am also one of the core designers of the scattered spirit confinement structure of the nuclear fusion device - I have been busy with this recently, and I am really busy with my feet on the ground." ”
"You are worthy of being a craftsman, you are simply a pillar of the country!"
"Where, Professor Su, you are the pillar of civilization!"
It may sound like a complaint, 'I'm so busy with this job,' but it's all about 'I'm amazing!'" ’。
And Su Sun is very good about such a temper, and after the two of them praised each other according to this point, the topic got to the point.
"The Celestian spacecraft, according to the detection feedback, is still around Jupiter, and there are two ways to get there, one is the most stupid, which is to fly directly over with a traditional spaceship - and the other is a new spaceship with the latest design and a Tallinn jump engine."
In the final analysis, he is an engineer and technician, and the words of the craftsman are straightforward.
He pushed his glasses and directly explained the follow-up plan and the plate: "The former is estimated to fly for a few months, and we don't have this time to waste, and the new spacecraft has just finished space testing in the past few days, and is now being renovated around the 'Everest Accelerator City'." ”
"Professor Su, if you want to go, I'm afraid you will have to wait a few days, and Captain Kotalon and Captain K-Chloe will be involved in the mission this time, and they are all waiting for you over there."
As one of the strongest craftsmen in the world, the Artisan Saint had been in charge of various highly classified related projects before the appearance of the aliens - the mass accelerator and the nuclear fusion scattering structure were only a part of it, and several core formation hubs of the first Qingluan-level were all made by him with his own hands using the 'Heavenly Crafting Method'.
After the appearance of aliens, the craftsman has been deconstructing the technology in various alien ships in reverse, and trying to terraform various technologies.
Some time ago, the secret test flight of the Earth spaceship with the Tallinn core spaceship technology and the jump engine was successful, which gave this Holy Seat a short rest, and even enough leisure to come and receive Su Sun in person.
"Everest Accelerator ...... 'Ladder to the Sky'. Although I know that there is such a thing, but did you really build an industrial base with a large nuclear fusion reactor as the main energy source in a remote place like Tibet? ”
Su Yan thought about this for a moment, and he found the relevant words and reports from the vast list of various plans in his mind.
- Ladder Project.
Transform a mountain peak into an acceleration channel for a large mass accelerator and use it as a source point to create a large space industrial area that will serve as the core space center of Jeongkook in the future.
What goes from the earth to the sky is a ladder to the sky.
In fact, the Everest mass accelerator is just the most complete part of the program, and in several other locations in Jeongguk, there are a number of different models of 'ladders' that are being planned and built.
Thinking of this, Su Sun was suddenly a little shocked and said, "Is it actually true?" The Everest Mountains were gradually transformed into large-scale mass accelerators, and the Tibetan region gradually became the corresponding industrial center of the universe...... I originally thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be not, and it has already been repaired? ”
"When did we have this engineering capability?"
"It's no joke...... And Professor Su, you may be underestimating the revival of Reiki, as well as various technologies, especially the productivity brought by nuclear fusion power generation, and the engineering ability has exploded. ”
Hearing this, the craftsman shook his head slightly: "The difficulty of construction in Tibet is nothing more than the physical condition and cost of the personnel. And now, who has practiced has altitude sickness? And when fusion power generation is officially launched, the originally unattainable cost is now not a problem at all. ”
"But I remember, isn't it not completely practical yet?"
Su Yan really didn't know much about this, he was actually very busy recently, and he didn't delve too deeply into things outside of his duties.
"It's just that it's not completely civilian, and in many independent industrial cities, as well as in pilot areas, the changes brought about by nuclear fusion are already beginning to emerge, and they also strengthen our desire to fully popularize it in the future."
The craftsman shook his head slightly, he turned his head sideways, and gestured to Tang Yuan, who was looking sideways at the scenery outside the aircraft, with his eyes: "Your secretary, in this regard, may know better than you. ”
"Huh? Yes, minister! ”
Although he was a little flustered at first, after all, he was a person who often dealt with Su Sun and various holy seats, Tang Yuan quickly calmed down and nodded to confirm: "A year and a half ago, the initial few nuclear fusion power stations were connected to the power grid, and the electricity price dropped a lot. ”
"You see, everybody in every city has air conditioning on casually – even though there are fewer people who really need air conditioning right now."
"How so?"
With his eyes widening slightly, Su Yan suddenly became a little annoyed: "I pretended to be an innovation in vain, but I never paid attention to this aspect!" ”
That said, it wasn't entirely Su Sun's problem - after all, he had been on a mission back and forth for the past two years, jumping back and forth between the other world and the earth.
It's like the Qingqiu Star incident, once it comes and goes, it will take almost a year, and if you count the trip to the reincarnation world after that, it will be a year and a half.
In addition, with his strength, he has indeed not acted in the civil society for a long time, so it will naturally be a little out of touch with the development of contemporary society.
A year and a half, even if it is placed in the world before the revival of Reiki, it can make people feel that it is changing with each passing day, not to mention the explosion of various technologies after the revival of Reiki, and the improvement of human body quality in all aspects, which will definitely cause extremely huge changes.
However, Su Sun was not stupid.
In Tang Yuan's narration on the side, as well as some details added by the craftsman saint, he already had a rough idea of the various changes in the earth during this time.
Since four years ago, all kinds of Taoist skills and ancient traditions have been restored, and the pace of nuclear fusion utilization has accelerated rapidly around the world, and it only took two years to change from the initial 'experimental operation' to the 'civilian operation'.
Of course, there are reasons why countries must take as far as possible to seize the opportunities of the times, but most importantly, it is also because countries have long had corresponding mature designs, and they only need to wait for the recovery of extraordinary forces to fill in the last piece of the puzzle.
And how will this change the world?
The electricity bill in Tang Yuan's mouth has plummeted, becoming less than one-twentieth of the original, and you can turn on the air conditioner and use electrical appliances at will, and the price is almost free, which is of course the most significant significance from the perspective of ordinary people.
But if you think about it carefully, you can know what a major 'change' and 'innovation' this is for today's world operating system!
Su Tian could immediately think that those industries that need to consume a lot of power have their production capital dropped countless times at once...... It's like metal refining, machining, chemical industry, etc.
In these heavy industries, many of them are just the power consumption of a machine, which is comparable to the electric tiger of a small city's civil electricity, and their operating costs were originally millions and tens of millions as soon as they were turned on, but because of the existence of nuclear fusion, this moment will be reduced to a very low level.
In addition, there is a chemical fiber industry such as papermaking, glass, electrolytic aluminum, and various light industries, and its production costs will also be greatly reduced, and whether it is construction, transportation, civil electrical appliances, which are related to people's livelihood, these industries will also usher in a big dive in production and operating costs.
It sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple.
As electricity costs fall, so does the cost of metal smelting and chemical production, followed by a drop in the price of these basic materials – and a drop in the price of the base material means that the cost of other products produced for subsequent processing will also fall.
In other words, the price of food and goods will become cheaper, people's living standards and consumption standards will be greatly improved, and it will be difficult to see people starving to death.
Is it an exaggeration? Not at all.
And, if nothing else, if the energy problem is solved, many things that are not impossible, but unwilling, will be realized.
- For example, high-density three-dimensional crop cultivation sheds that use solar lamps to cultivate 24 hours a day.
-- The northern region, which has been reopened by cheap heating.
-- Large-scale seawater distillation equipment will solve the water crisis.
-- Mountain development will be more convenient than imagined, and giant buildings and large-scale geological transformations will become a reality.
These are not technical problems at all, but only cost problems, and the programs and technologies that benefit the people will further bring about changes in productivity.
The Earth is far larger than human imagination, and without the energy balance, countless non-habitable areas of the planet will become habitable. Not to mention that there are other realms outside of the earth, and the increase in exploration brought about by the increase in productivity will also bring many changes.
What kind of world will the ensuing chain reaction make...... Just thinking about it, Su Sun couldn't help but be a little happy.
And, beyond that.
Sitting in his seat, Su Sun raised his head, his gaze penetrated the stealth armor and coating of the Qingluan-level aircraft, and went straight into the sky.
"Like, that thing, right?"
Su Yan looked at the universe with a smile, and the craftsman saint was a little surprised at first, but soon smiled and said, "That's right." ”
"The size of the space stations of various countries is expanding. Our related space race project is trying to build a large spaceport, a small space city. ”
At this point, the craftsman couldn't help but take off his glasses, and in his hands, the glasses began to transform like magic, and finally turned into a small 3D projection device, revealing a mountain range and the giant mechanical structure attached to the mountain in mid-air.
The mechanical structure looks a bit like a giant 'entry' slide, and the track of the slide is so long and long that it is not fully visible until the end of the projection.
That's a preview of the Everest Mass Accelerator.
A super-giant man-made structure attached to the highest peak of the earth.
Staring at the 3D projection map in his hand, the gaze of the craftsman saint was mixed with countless expectations in the softness.
"Although it is said that with the excellent resources of the earth and other realms, space development is not in such a hurry. But because of the presence of aliens, its development is still a top priority. ”
"Mass accelerators allow us to build capacity for these things, and the power consumption of mass accelerators, if it is traditional power generation, it is completely impossible to operate at low cost."
With that, the craftsman showed Su Sun and Tang Yuan a projection of four giant cylindrical buildings located around the mass accelerator - they were the four nuclear fusion power stations, enough to supply the huge energy of the former small half of Jeongkook, but now they were only used for a giant building.
"Remarkable! However, in that case, why not build a little more and simply make the electricity bill free? There is still a huge gap between the paid and the free. ”
Su Sun's sincere admiration made the expectation and smile on the face of the craftsman saint even more cheerful, he withdrew his hand, turned the 3D projector back into glasses, and put it back on his head.
He raised his head and looked at each other leisurely: "In the past, the human beings of the earth fought each other for energy. Crude oil, coal, natural gas, in order to fight for these things, mankind has launched countless wars. ”
"The energy war more than 40 years ago almost crushed these traditional industries - although almost everyone was desperate at that time and could only pin their hopes on the revival of Reiki, but now it seems that it is precisely because the energy war has crushed these original industries that the development of nuclear fusion and related new energy sources has not been hindered too much, and its replacement will not cause too much shock."
Hearing this, Su Yan nodded slightly. The rejection of the old by the new is the most difficult part of all innovation.
But then, the tone of the craftsman saint suddenly changed.
"Nuclear fusion is a technology that can change the fate of mankind, especially because of extraordinary skills, it can be easily built, popularized, and almost pollution-free nuclear fusion generators, and the future is even lighter, miniaturized, that is the goal of my life in the future."
Obviously, at the beginning, the craftsman saint's speech was extremely firm, but when it came to the back, his expression suddenly became solemn.
It's like a Sichuan opera changing face, just now it was still happy and gratifying, but it became dull for a moment.
He looked at Su Sun and let out a long sigh: "As for why it is not completely popularized by civilian use, and the current policy of building a separate urban area around nuclear fusion power generation facilities, the reason is actually very simple. ”
"Professor Su, Secretary Tang, you should all know that there have been some boiling 'Kailing' incidents recently."
Of course.
Both of them nodded in unison, the discussion and worries surrounding the on-board AI 'Xuan' between Dao Saint and Yan Saint at the beginning happened not long ago, and their memories were still very clear.
And then what the craftsman wanted to say, they all understood in an instant.
"Yes. That's it, after all, in this world, most of the aura will naturally converge towards the low-entropy body. ”
With a reluctant smile, the craftsman's tone was tinged with a hint of bitterness: "Just like in the entire galaxy system, the strongest natural spirit holder must be a star, and the nuclear fusion power station is a small star burning on the earth. ”
"It has nothing to do with radiation, the density of the spiritual energy around it is so high, it is even better than the effect of the special giant fire attribute spirit gathering array, if the fire attribute spirit object is placed around it, it will not take a year and a half to achieve the success of the spirit - some time ago, we artificially cultivated the first batch of artificial 'fire spirits', at this rate, it is a sure fact that the inheritance of the cash will be reproduced within three years."
"In such a high-spirited environment, even if it is a thought sustenance, I am afraid that the dead thing can give birth to spirituality."
Speaking of this, the craftsman smiled abruptly: "And the nuclear fusion power station ...... Its very existence is the center of the spiritual sustenance of countless people. ”
"In this era, people who used to use expensive electricity, every time they start an electrical appliance, every time they use a cheap service, every time they enjoy the benefits of nuclear fusion, they will naturally have thoughts and pin their hearts on it...... In addition, our nuclear fusion power station originally used a lot of golden crow structure in order to be stable and easy to control, which makes it open, which is too simple. ”
"Even if we put on the Scattered Spirit Rune, if the wish power is too large, then it is not impossible to directly force the Scattered Spirit Rune itself to open the spirit!"
“……”
Hearing this, not only Tang Yuan, but even Su Tian was stunned.
But it's not impossible.
At the end of the day, the Scattered Spirit Rune itself is also a spiritual power structure, and there is an upper limit to its effectiveness - beyond the upper limit, it is normal for it to fail.
There are pros and cons to the revival of Reiki, especially for human civilizations that want to explore a new path.
However, hearing this, Su Sun was a little strange.
"So, is it all about trying to avoid losing control of your will? In order to avoid disasters caused by loss of control, and to avoid excessive cohesion of willpower, a separate urban area was built around it, so that the entire urban area could collectively bear the power of the power instead of a separate power generation device. ”
He frowned slightly and said, "In that case, why don't you directly guide the Wish Power and form a 'God of Nuclear Fusion'?" Or is it an artificial creation of a god, so that a cultivator with the blood of the Golden Crow can carry these wishes? ”
