Massachusetts, MIT.
Professor Dennis White's "Nuclear Workshop".
As the first place in the world to achieve 15-minute controllable nuclear fusion, this place was once the center of attention and a beacon of human civilization.
But as the "end threshold" was proposed by Ye Ming, the light here dimmed instantly.
It wasn't until a month ago that MIT's School of Materials completed the preparation of "leaf dysprosium" using an extremely complex and ridiculously high cost method that the place regained its "vitality."
…
Professor Huo Laien strode into the conference room.
The meeting had just ended, and only Professor Dennis and Mongard were left discussing something in a low voice over the drawings.
Professor Huo Laien saw that his old friend, who he had not seen for a few days, was now like an eggplant beaten by frost, and his whole person was visibly wilted.
Although he is still able to support himself now, his physical and mental exhaustion can be seen at a glance.
Thinking of the last time he rejected the other party's hug, Professor Huo Laien sighed slightly.
Standing in front of the other party, Professor Huo Laien stretched out his arms.
The two hugged.
Professor Dennis gave his student a wink, and the latter stood up knowingly and closed the door while leaving the conference room.
Snap, Professor Dennis lit a cigarette.
"Have one?"
"Have one."
Amid the smoke, both of them were momentarily dazed, as if they had returned to the scene thirty years ago when they were hiding in the dormitory smoking DM.
Finally, Professor Dennis was the first to speak. He knew that his old friend was related to Ye Ming.
"Is Kuafu Heap still running?"
"Yes."
"It's so damn stable." Professor Dennis sighed: "I always thought that with Ye Dy, everything would be no problem. But that Ye Dy limit... I don't know how they designed it, I calculated it here, and it has always been It is impossible to achieve stable constraint at a high temperature of 150 million degrees."
"No one knows except Ye Ming." Professor Huo Laien shook his head: "They have no intention of announcing the design."
"Announced?" Professor Dennis smiled: "Listen to what the leaders said? It is a valuable weapon of the country. How can it be announced."
As they spoke, the two fell silent again.
In fact, in the past few years, at least eight years ago... In the field of controllable nuclear fusion, which solves the world's energy problems, the mainstream voice in the world was cooperation.
If nothing else, let’s talk about Professor Dennis himself. His team directly announced the design of two fusion reactors.
Not to mention the cooperation with ITER (International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor Project) - there are regular meetings every year to exchange results and experiences.
But in recent years, the door for cooperation has become narrower and narrower, and the areas for cooperation have become fewer and fewer.
Controlled fusion, a technology that benefits all mankind, has actually become a weapon for checks and balances between major powers... It is also a tragedy for science.
"What is their next plan? Is it to reduce the cost of tritium? To complete commercialization? To take the lead in realizing an energy leap?"
"no……"
Before Professor Huo Laien's voice fell, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, and a moment later, two middle-aged officials walked quickly.
"Two professors, the President invites you."
Professor Huo Laien was startled: "What are you talking about?"
“Let’s talk about fusion, Mars, semiconductors, quantum computing, and AI.”
Professor Huo Laien looked at his friend, and their innocence instantly shrank.
"Then what?"
One of the officials smiled slightly and held out five fingers.
"Be prepared to pass this number of laws."
…
On National Highway 318, a convoy consisting of armored vehicles and tightly covered transport vehicles was advancing at a constant speed.
Qi and Mo sat in the armored vehicle, curiously looking at the surrounding environment and the occupants in the vehicle.
In addition to her, Li Dongsheng and Zhou Tong, there were three soldiers, one woman and two men, in the car.
The female soldier had also been paying attention to Qi Yumo. When she saw her looking at herself, she smiled slightly: "Is Miss Qi a little uncomfortable sitting?"
"Ah, no." Qi Yumo shook his head quickly and smiled: "This is my first time riding in a military vehicle. What about you, Captain Li?"
"Same." Li Dongsheng's seat was next to Qi Yumo, but he deliberately kept a distance from her: "I always thought that armored vehicles and tanks were the same."
As he spoke, Li Dongsheng knocked on the iron wall next to him again: "Doesn't it feel very thick?"
"Haha, actually this is a fast anti-armored vehicle, and artillery shells cannot be blocked." The female soldier introduced with a smile: "Just wait until Shangyajiang County. Then you can directly transfer to civilian vehicles to avoid suffering with us."
Li Dongsheng immediately waved his hand: "No, it's okay with us."
"It does matter." The female soldier smiled and shook her head: "We always stay in the snow area, so it doesn't matter. But you guys are different. You really are going to cause some trouble... right?"
Hearing what the female soldier said, Li Dongsheng glanced at Qi Yumo. When the latter nodded, he also nodded and smiled: "Trouble with that... Well, I'd better call you Captain Ke."
"No, just call me Li Ke." Li Ke chuckled: "We have the same surname, maybe you are still my brother?"
"Haha, let's recite the family tree?"
"OK."
…
Amid laughter, the motorcade drove into Yajiang County along 318.
Here, a Land Cruiser is ready.
The three of them transferred to the Land Cruiser and felt instantly relieved.
Taking advantage of the signal from the county seat, Qi and Mo took out their mobile phones and dialed Ye Ming's number after hesitating for a moment.
After saying a few words, Ye Ming's video call came over.
…
"Why did you come over all of a sudden? Who arranged it?" Ye Ming looked at the picture of Qi and Mo, first said hello to Li Dongsheng, and then frowned.
After Li Dongsheng was admitted to graduate school, he directly joined Lao Tang's team, and was then assigned to JiZhi Technology as a "laborer" - in fact, according to Li Dongsheng's skills in the field of robotics, there would be no problem for him to join JiZhi Technology.
Now that he is studying in this graduate school, he is almost working.
"I came here myself." Qi Yumo covered the sun with his hands and smiled proudly: "Aside from me, who else understands Aita better than me?"
Ye Ming suddenly stopped talking.
This time, although Li Dongsheng ostensibly led the team to deliver a batch of combat robots to the snowy plateau, it was considered a type of delivery and testing at the same time.
But in fact, the highest authority lies with Qi and Mo.
Because as far as understanding Aita is concerned, Qi and Mo are equal to He Mo in the entire company.
"Then... you have to be careful." Ye Ming looked at her blushing face and said worriedly: "Altitude sickness is no joke."
"Don't worry, there's a trunk full of oxygen bottles."
"Well...be careful anyway."
"I know!" Qi Yumo chuckled: "Didn't I realize that you are such a mother-in-law before?"
Ye Ming: "...I didn't say it was the border yet!"
"Hahahaha, does third brother still dare to fight with Aita?"
In the video, Qi and Mo smiled extremely arrogantly.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ming clicked on the browser homepage.
A headline flashed out instantly.
"The United States launches a five trillion plan to comprehensively support next-generation technology"
