Chapter 843
"Professor Wang, it's been a long time since I last gave a lecture."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"I saw you on the street before, but I didn't come over when I saw a beautiful girl next to you, haha~"
"Professor Wang..."
“…”
Even though Da Piaoliang had just released a big piece of news, a short but extremely important press conference, the seats for Wang Yi's academic speech were still packed.
A large number of beautiful scholars came here happily to wait.
No one would go back to find out the situation there because of that press conference.
What's the hurry?
Can't run!
You can go back anytime!
But Master Yi can really run...
Waiting for his lectures is like waiting for the Chinese New Year. If I feel like it, I might go to several of them in a row, but this time he hasn't shown up for several months.
"Haha, thank you all for your concern. Let's have a math salon later."
Wang Yi showed a kind expression on his face and appeared quite friendly to this group of people, regardless of their nationality, affiliation, or even their inner attitude.
They are all treasures...
The talent cultivation cycle is quite long. Up to now, except for the core tool people, most of the external talents of Umbrella have been recruited.
It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a person!
To put it bluntly, one of the main reasons why Da Piaoliang kept her composure and didn't rush into anything was that she cared about what these people thought.
From the current perspective, it is indeed worth the investment. The previous press conference of Da Piaoliang fully demonstrated their value.
Although these are just some of the most basic things, and they are also what Umbrella has played with a long time ago, but they are not mages, which is already quite rare, and they have already given me a lot of inspiration...
…
Wang Yi's academic lecture was quite normal. He talked about some of the problems and ideas that had accumulated during this period, combined with some views on magic numbers.
As more and more people delve into magic numbers, and as Wang Yi makes special adjustments based on on-site conditions, more and more people can understand him.
This is actually the reason why every one of his lectures is always packed.
The effect is really good!
"Okay, that's all for today. Does anyone have any questions?"
Wang Yi said casually on the stage.
It also meant that it was time for the most important question-and-answer session. A large number of leading figures in the academic world rushed to ask questions, and Wang Yi answered them one by one.
When the question entered the second half, a scholar from Da Piaoliang asked with a kind smile.
"What a coincidence! My question me, so I might as well ask Professor Wang what he thinks about the breakthroughs that Da Piaoliang proposed this time..."
After receiving this question, there was a whisper at the scene.
Some scholars in Gaul also changed their expressions slightly, fearing that this would arouse some bad thoughts from Master Yi , but since this was an academic exchange, it was not easy for them to say anything to stop it.
In fact, Wang Yi had originally planned to give a brief PPT introduction after this event was completed. Since someone asked, he naturally took it out.
The special bracelet in his hand directly completed the projection in the air, forming a void curtain.
"I happen to have some information here, so I'll just say a few words..."
The sense of technology that appeared as soon as it appeared completely overshadowed the press conference of Da Piaoliang.
"First of all, we commend Da Piaoliang's pioneering spirit in research. The original intention of imparting basic knowledge and theories of magic was to encourage more like-minded friends to study together. We are very pleased to see that they have achieved results."
Wang Yi's heartfelt praise made people feel something was wrong. Wasn't it like he was being sarcastic?
"I also watched the previous press conference. Although there are no practical results yet, after seeing the theory, I can be sure that what Da Piaoliang said is true, whether it is superconductivity, their magic laboratory, or space fluctuations, because we also use this set of theories..."
Wang Yi's smiling words immediately caused a burst of whispers at the scene.
Many people showed an expression of taking it for granted.
Does this mean that Umbrella had these earlier?
But in fact, many people had similar speculations. After all, Da Piaoliang is now a follower, so what they came up with is likely to be a replica of Umbrella's style.
At least Umbrella's electromagnetic guns, mass projectors and the railguns on the StarCraft are very likely to use superconductivity.
It was just that it was not known before whether the superconductivity was achieved through a special cooling method.
Now, judging from Master Yi's simple description, it should be a normal room-temperature superconductor! It may be the same model that Da Piaoliang took out!
If this is the case, then Umbrella's explosive increase in computer computing power is understandable, as they may have already used superconducting materials.
But at the same time, this is actually good news for Da Piaoliang, because it means that the direction they are chasing is correct and it will also inject confidence.
This is actually the reason why they still brought it up even though they knew that Umbrella might have mastered superconducting materials.
We are now competing on the same stage!
But after seeing the popularity of Umbrella's application, everyone understood that Da Piaoliang only made a little bit of it in a high-cost laboratory, but Umbrella could already build a mass projector!
The output may not be large, but it is definitely not small, and it has been put into practical use .
The gap between the two sides is still huge.
It’s just like many laboratory materials today are amazing, but have never been used in civilian applications.
"Well, we actually have some guesses that Umbrella has already mastered superconducting technology. So as far as I know, Da Piaoliang wants to invite Umbrella to carry out an international experimental project on controlled nuclear fusion. After the superconducting materials are in place cooling equipment can be reduced, the controlled nuclear fusion project can also be put on the agenda. This can greatly solve the power shortage problem we are currently facing..."
The scholar then made a new proposal.
Currently, because Umbrella has subcontracted a lot of manufacturing operations, all factories around the world are working overtime.
The issue of electricity is also at hand.
This is also the reason why Alstom's status suddenly rose again.
When it comes to electricity, controlled nuclear fusion, one of the ultimate solutions to the energy problem, is undoubtedly an extremely important application.
Although the so-called "eternal fifty years" is still difficult enough, the cost of controlled nuclear fusion is actually not low.
In the simplest tritium-deuterium nuclear fusion, deuterium is widely present in the ocean and the cost of extraction is not high, but because tritium has a half-life of only twelve years, its reserves on Earth are not high, and the production cost is astonishing.
Therefore, even if the problems of positive energy gain and energy utilization for boiling water are solved, there are still a lot of commercial problems.
At least for a very long period of time, controlled nuclear fusion will be experimental in nature. Even when various problems are solved one by one in the future and it enters the initial commercial application stage, it will definitely not be as mature and reliable as today's thermal power and fission power generation technologies in the early stages, and its cost-effectiveness will be very low.
The current controlled nuclear fusion experiments are actually more of an exploratory nature, a direction, and a bet on the future!
The researchers currently working in this laboratory may not be able to see their research projects come to fruition in their lifetime...
When it comes to the cost of nuclear fusion materials, there is a lot of helium-3 on the moon, but the problem is that the simplest controlled deuterium-tritium nuclear fusion is still in the experimental stage.
Helium fusion is much more difficult, and even "uncontrollable" nuclear fusion is not yet possible. It is currently just a pure theory!
Helium has one more proton, so the Coulomb barrier is stronger, and it is naturally much more difficult to overcome.
This is also the reason why all parties still believe that Umbrella has some kind of efficient fission reactor.
The difficulty is too high...
At the same time, this is actually the reason why Wang Yi quickly used the convenience of magic to develop a hydrogen reactor after confirming that the first generation of tritium-deuterium reactor was feasible.
Nuclear fusion reactions directly carried out by hydrogen are more difficult!
But there is almost no need to worry about raw materials.
Anyway, Wang Yi was using magic cold fusion technology, so this purely physical increase in difficulty was much simpler for him...
"Oh, no need. Actually, Umbrella has been using fusion reactors since Penglai was built, including the energy system of the mecha and the Xingxiu spacecraft. However, this kind of fusion requires a high magical environment and is not universal, so it has never been announced. We just use it ourselves..."
Wang Yi's casual answer directly revealed something quite terrifying...
