Chapter 844: Caravan Arrives
Following Wang Yi’s explosive announcement, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Because the people present at the scene are all from the academic world, they know better than ordinary people how difficult it is to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.
This shock is much greater than previous superconducting materials!
At least as far as superconductivity is concerned, its current applications are very widespread. The magnetic resonance imaging in hospitals contains superconductors, as well as quantum computers, magnetic levitation, controlled nuclear fusion experiments, etc. As long as the cooling is sufficient and the cost is not taken into account, superconductivity is still in front of us and can be seen and touched.
But controlled nuclear fusion has really always remained at the level of positive gain regardless of cost!
Let’s not talk about whether it has started to be used now, let’s not talk about the cost of raw materials.
Just saying that you have created a device that can stably output positive energy to the outside world is definitely something worth writing about!
Previously, Da Piaoliang’s ignition device, which had an energy output of less than 1%, had been praised as miraculous.
But now Umbrella has revealed its cards directly. What we use is controlled nuclear fusion.
Moreover, not only Penglai has been using it, but even our mechas are using it. The miniaturized application of controlled nuclear fusion has reached this level.
This means that Umbrella's nuclear fusion system is already quite mature!
Even the application of basic principles is different from traditional principles!
At present, the device that is internationally recognized as having the potential to be used for power generation is nuclear fusion based on the principle of magnetic confinement, among which the tokamak device is the most representative.
According to the formula, as long as the Tokamak device is made large enough, it will be able to achieve positive gain sooner or later. However, the larger the scale, the more problems it will encounter. Therefore, the current international controlled nuclear fusion projects have been difficult to implement.
But Umbrella has not only begun to use controlled nuclear fusion, but has even miniaturized it into mechas?
This is simply mind-boggling!
In fact, even if Umbrella only applied nuclear fission to mecha, it would be considered a remarkable technological breakthrough.
But now the other party is talking about a fusion reactor?
Are you kidding me?
Did you really say it so casually in an academic speech?
No live broadcast, no press conference, or even official announcement?
Is it necessary to be so low-key?
…
Because Wang Yi's academic lectures have always been held in small circles, his news certainly won't spread as fast as a live press conference.
However, because the things involved were too bizarre and explosive, some institutions in related fields received the news quite quickly.
In the beautiful New York Abyss Laboratory, everyone was just immersed in the joy of the breakthroughs achieved by the increase in magic concentration.
The next moment, news came directly from Gaul.
The scholar who asked the question in the meeting was indeed from their side.
No matter what, Umbrella is ahead in the use of magic, and even if they start to catch up later, it will probably take a long time.
So of course it would be best if we could cooperate.
At the beginning, we would first propose an invitation for an international project, and then gradually move forward after the other party agrees.
The invitation was made to the controlled nuclear fusion project, not only because this project is of great potential, but also because the current international controlled nuclear fusion project is also located in Gaul, so it was a good opportunity to propose it.
But who would have thought that they had just come up with a pretext, just for fun, but they had already completed it?
Controlled nuclear fusion?
Energy problem solved directly?!
Are you serious?
This explosive news made these people's eyes turn black.
In fact, by now, the importance of the energy issue itself is beyond doubt.
Umbrella has subcontracted enough industries to mobilize global production capacity. If it were not for their own robots, there would probably be a labor shortage due to insufficient manpower.
The electricity problem is now prominent, and in some places it has even affected residents' electricity use.
Building a new power plant takes time, as does constructing the power grid and so on.
Not every place can be like the infrastructure maniacs in the East.
At this time, the method, efficiency and means of power generation have become pressing issues.
In fact, the most efficient and convenient power generation mode at present is still thermal power, followed by nuclear power, which are essentially boiling water.
America is a major nuclear power country, and Dongfang has also developed a thorium-based nuclear reactor, but the temporary construction of distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
Proposing nuclear fusion is just a gimmick to pick up the momentum.
But I can't resist their real intentions!
Did Penglai start using nuclear fusion reactors when it was first built?
And even the mechas use small fusion reactors?
Are you really a solar furnace?
This shock began to spread rapidly like a storm, sweeping the world!
"Have you heard? Umbrella has been using controlled nuclear fusion!"
"Normal, right? I'm not surprised by anything Umbrella proposes now."
"Now that the spacecraft is out, shouldn't controlled nuclear fusion be a matter of course?"
"They are also very good at using nuclear bombs..."
“…”
However, this kind of shock is more common among scientific research institutions. Ordinary people do not actually know the difficulty of controlled nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconductivity.
I also don't understand how terrible the practical application of controlled nuclear fusion is.
But no matter what, everyone knows that the previous press conference of Da Piaoliang was in vain.
What you made is just what others have left over!
As for whether you can follow Umbrella's steps step by step, that's hard to say. There are no bends in between, everything is straight...
…
At this moment, Wang Yi released a blockbuster bomb while reinforcing the weak points in Paris' space without completely blocking them.
The caravan from Dunno City in the Sefi Realm finally arrived at the small town of Danik, and Wang Yi began to prepare to return home. If Da Piaoliang in New York wanted to handle it herself, then let them handle it themselves. This time, I can't get through it myself...
…
The wooden wheels of the carriages were moving on the trade roads, and most of the time the road surface was just compacted, causing the wooden wheels to bump against each other.
It is because of the influence of the magical environment that the wooden materials here are generally tougher, otherwise the journey would probably be more difficult.
"Oh, I don't know why we have to come here. The goods brought by the savages are good, but Dannik should be able to eat them all by himself. Why did they send us on such a dangerous trip..."
The leader of the caravan was a cat-man, and many of his team members were sub-humans with animal ears.
There are cats, dogs, foxes, and rabbits, which can be considered a large concentration of sub-humans.
However, when doing business outside, most of these sub-humans are still males.
"It won't be a waste to make a trip. The furs here in Danik Territory are pretty good. I just don't know how much they have saved now. "
A tall and burly figure with some tiger features was riding on a giant wild boar, and his tone seemed a bit lazy.
However, although his tone was lazy, his ears kept moving from time to time, and his eyes were always scanning the surroundings casually, relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside.
The caravan's guards were mostly tiger men, and he was the captain of the guard. Not only did he possess the strength of a mid-level knight, he also had a Warcraft-level magic pig mount.
Combined with the tiger man's own talent bonus, he can be considered in the first tier among the professional classes.
"But fortunately, we didn't encounter any attacks on the way. When we passed by Zak Territory before, we were afraid that they would just come out and kill us."
The leader of the Chamber of Commerce, the cat-man named Jianan, looked relieved.
"There are only two knights in Zak County. How dare he fight? Besides, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for the Earl to criticize him if he accused him of attacking the caravan?"
The leader of the Tiger Guard sneered.
Neither Baron Zak nor the captain of his personal guards were as strong as himself.
Even if they are combined, I can handle it by cooperating with my partner.
The men under his command are no weaker than their elite soldiers, and it would be a huge loss to chew on such a tough bone.
"I still hope that this tributary can be connected to the Dunno River. This will save a lot of trouble. Although the waters of this Taishui River are mostly not wide, it passes through several territories, so it is enough for running small boats."
Jianan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the calm river ahead and the small town of Danik.
When most trade routes are dirt roads, water transportation is actually the highlight of trade, which is so much more convenient!
Unfortunately, a lot of this river is in the Warcraft Forest. Although there are many territories outside that can be partially connected, there is no place worth the trouble of digging a canal to connect to the Dunno River...
