However, the chief asked about this matter, and Xu Zhou naturally told the truth.
Xu Zhou still respected the leader in front of him. Many changes in the Dragon Kingdom in recent years were all due to this old man who seemed kind but was actually fierce.
So after the chief asked the question, Xu Zhou immediately smiled and said:
"The chief's question is correct. In fact, the miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion technology has recently completed its second experiment. The time has gradually increased to more than an hour, and the situation is stable."
Upon hearing this, the chief's eyes immediately showed joy. He looked into Xu Zhou's eyes and said with a smile:
"So, it's basically a success?"
Xu Zhou nodded, and was about to take out relevant materials from his mobile phone to show to the leader. He just touched his body with his hand and smiled awkwardly:
"Cellphones cannot be brought in..."
"Just tell me. I'm too professional and I don't understand it as well as you do."
Xu Zhou thought the same thing. Not to mention the leaders, even professionals dare not say that they have understood 100% of the professional materials.
And this is the chief's residence after all, so naturally things like mobile phones cannot be brought in.
Xu Zhou then began to explain some recent research work and progress in simple words.
“In general now we have basically stabilized the core requirements and standards for miniaturization technology.”
"It can even be said that as long as this set of processes is used, any engineer with sufficient skills can build a reactor of this level."
When the chief heard these words, he glanced at Xu Zhou meaningfully, and then smiled:
"No matter how skilled the engineer is, they can only do it according to your drawings, so what Long Country needs is not engineers who can do it, but you who can make the drawings."
"Xiao Xu, your ability is too outstanding, so outstanding that it is inevitable to doubt it, but as I said last time, it is enough for me that you are from the Dragon Kingdom, and nothing else matters."
"So, there's no need for you to worry."
Xu Zhou's face froze slightly, and he secretly thought that he still underestimated the old man in front of him.
Or was the meaning he expressed just now too obvious?
Xu Zhou did not choose to keep controllable nuclear fusion technology, including miniaturization technology, in his own hands, but standardized them all.
In other words, he set a standard of conduct for all processes, so that as long as someone follows them, they can successfully create a controllable nuclear fusion reactor.
The reason why he did this is very simple. He didn't want the people above to think that he controlled too many core technologies.
Now that Xu Zhou has standardized all these, there will be no such worries.
However, the few words the old man sitting across from him said to him at this moment were equivalent to a reassurance.
As long as you, Xu Zhou, are from the Dragon Kingdom, nothing will embarrass him.
"What the chief said is true, but I am narrow-minded."
The old man smiled and did not continue the topic, but asked Xu Zhou to continue.
Finally, when talking about how to apply these miniaturized nuclear fusion reactors in the future, the old man became serious again.
"Xiao Xu, what is the smallest size you have achieved so far?"
Xu Zhou gestured.
"It looks like it is no taller than one person."
"How much power can it achieve?"
"About 1,200 megawatts."
The chief took a deep breath when he heard this.
1,200 megawatts may not sound worth mentioning compared to Yu Linglong’s 550,000 megawatts, but the size difference between the two is also thousands of times.
A reactor that is less than the height of an adult can actually provide 1,200 megawatts. It is not too powerful!
Seeing that the leader was silent, Xu Zhou continued:
"Of course, this power is not final yet. If everything is confirmed to be OK, my personal goal is to increase the power to about 1,500 megawatts."
The chief's mouth twitched again when he heard this, and in the end he could only drink water to hide his excitement.
"Is it really that powerful?"
"Just such a gadget, the size of a person can produce 1,200 megawatts of power?"
Xu Zhou paused, then smiled and said:
"Chief, it's absolutely true. After all, the technology we master is the strongest energy reaction known in the entire star system. In ancient times, we were considered gods with power over the sun, right?"
This is really not an exaggeration. The reaction of nuclear fusion is one of the strongest energies discovered by humans in the universe.
The sun shining on the earth is a huge fireball that is undergoing nuclear fusion reactions all the time.
In ancient times, if someone could really master nuclear fusion technology, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were in charge of the sun.
Thinking about it this way, could some of the gods recorded by the ancients be just a group of human beings who have mastered technological civilization and were transformed into gods by the ancients' myths?
Thunder God and Lightning Girl actually control alternating current, clairvoyance is a camera or telescope, and Shunfeng Ear is wireless communication...
Xu Zhou shook his head to cut off these strange associations, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water.
After a while, the chief returned to calm and said:
"Xiao Xu, in what fields do you think the future controllable nuclear fusion miniaturization technology should be applied first when it matures? I would like to hear your suggestions."
This question is not a trivial matter. Xu Zhou immediately fell silent after hearing this.
"Don't stress, I just want to hear your vision as a technology developer."
Xu Zhou thought for a while and finally said with a smile:
"I think all human beings should have a dream, which is the yearning for heaven."
"To put it now, it should be the exploration of the universe. I have always felt that after the controllable nuclear fusion technology is mastered, mankind should go further in the exploration of the space field!"
The leader looked at Xu Zhou thoughtfully, and finally sighed.
"Some things have not yet been announced, but your appearance makes us feel that things have turned around. Perhaps we humans should not just accept our fate, but try to fight back."
"Xu Zhou, when I call you here this time, I actually have a very arduous task entrusted to you. It is related to the wealth and lives of hundreds of millions of people in the Dragon Kingdom, and it can even be said to be related to the future of all mankind on earth."
Xu Zhou was stunned when he heard these words coming from the leader's mouth.
What matters are so important that it affects the fate of the Dragon Kingdom and even all mankind...
This... why does it feel like an unprecedented crisis has enveloped me?
Xu Zhou didn't dare to speak, he just stared at the old man in front of him with wide eyes.
Wait for each other's tasks.
The chief's expression was solemn, and his eyes looking at Xu Zhou were particularly solemn.
"Xu Zhou, the Dragon Kingdom and even humanity will be completely extinct in fifteen years!"
"You can understand it as a mass extinction of all human beings and even all types of life on the earth!"
boom!
These two short sentences caused Xu Zhou's brain to shut down.
Since his rebirth, Xu Zhou has always relied on his experience in two lifetimes to remain calm.
No matter what the situation is, he can try to keep himself calm.
But now, these two sentences uttered from the mouth of the chief sitting opposite him directly shocked everyone who was dumbfounded.
Xu Zhou stared blankly at the old man opposite who was drinking tea silently. He looked calm as if the words just came from his mouth.
Xu Zhou once thought that he had just heard a hallucination.
"Chief... what you just meant..."
Before he finished speaking, the chief nodded and put down the teacup.
"Yes, there is a mass extinction of organisms. In theory, every living thing on the earth will die and wither. The entire earth is like shutting down and waiting to be restarted. Everything enters a silent period."
Xu Zhou still didn't react. He was like a stuck machine. It took him a long time to restart. He looked at the leader and said:
"Chief, do you know what you are talking about?"
The leader smiled bitterly and said:
"When I heard the news, I had the same reaction as you. This kind of scene that exists in science fiction movies will actually happen in front of us in the near future."
"So, Xu Zhou, I am the leader of the Dragon Kingdom. Do you think I would joke about this kind of thing?"
Yes, Xu Zhou's heart went from being shocked to being extremely shocked and then when he just asked the question, he already understood that this matter should be true.
As the leader of the Dragon Kingdom, it was impossible for the other party to joke about such a thing.
No matter what the reason or purpose, this kind of joke would never come out of the chief's mouth.
So after ruling out other possibilities, Xu Zhou could only accept one fact, that is, this conclusion is true!
At least in the chief's perception, this thing is true!
"Chief, please forgive me for being disrespectful. Next, please be sure to tell the whole incident clearly. I need enough narrative to prove what you just said!"
The chief smiled when he saw this and said:
"Of course, this is also one of my requests!"
After saying that, he asked the assistant on the side to fill the tea cups for the two of them.
