I am a great scientist

Chapter 401 Prelude to Change ([-])

Time flies, and the years are not forgiving.

Mr. Xu and Mr. Wen, who are closely related to Zhou Xing, have now retreated to the second line. However, they still have huge political influence. They usually live in seclusion. Today they visited the headquarters building of Shining Star Group.

There were no flowers, no queues, Zhou Xing, Yang Minghua, and Lin Wei stood in the parking passage on the top floor and waited.

Four or five shadow dancers flew from far and near, and under the control of the self-driving intelligent system, they landed steadily on each parking platform, and then slowly drove into the parking passage.

Soon, the chief, the silver-haired Elder Xu, and a group of experts and professors came out of the car one after another.

"Chief, Mr. Xu, Mr. Wen, warmly welcome you all." Zhou Xing stepped forward to greet him and extended his hand.

"Xiao Zhou, you actually know to say hello to us in advance this time! It's rare, it's so rare." The chief shook Zhou Xing's hand tightly and joked with a smile.

"Hehe, I guess the basket is too big this time, and he can't carry it anymore." Old Xu said with a chuckle.

Wen Lao looked at Zhou Xing with a smile on his face, and then added: "Old Xu is right, Shining Star Group has never disclosed information in advance in previous product launches, so it must be a big deal to report to us suddenly this time." thing."

The chief laughed, looked at Zhou Xing with a smile on his face, and looked forward to his reply.

Zhou Xing rarely showed a 'shy' smile, nodded honestly and said with a smile: "The chief is wise, you guessed it right."

Hearing this, the chief, Mr. Xu, Mr. Wen and others looked at Zhou Xing in disbelief, and were somewhat frightened by him.

Since Zhou Xing founded the Shining Star Group, at the press conference, which one is not a product that caused a sensation in the world and subverted the world.

Perhaps, because the 'Nano Medical Cabin' was replaced by the state, Zhou Xing has always maintained the habit of blocking news when he develops new products, and never discloses the progress of the research and development to the superiors in advance. Then let them 'clean up' their vices.

However, this time he actually greeted them in advance. What the hell did this kid do?

Old Xu blushed, and excitedly asked Zhou Xing, "Is it the breakthrough in life-prolonging gene technology?"

Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a smile: "No! The longevity gene project will take a while."

Hearing this, Wen Lao trembled all over his body, looked at Zhou Xing with burning eyes, and asked eagerly: "A while? How long?"

Zhou Xing smiled slightly, and introduced: "The sequencing of life-prolonging genes has reached the last juncture. The results will come out this month, and the in vivo test will be carried out next. If there are no accidents, this technology will produce results this year."

Everyone's body was shocked, and they were suddenly stunned by the good news.

"Is this true? Xiao Zhou, you didn't lie to us, did you?" The chief's smile froze, and he looked at Zhou Xing in surprise.

"Boss, the gene series that causes human aging has been discovered, and what we are doing now is to optimize the gene series calculation, optimize the gene series, and delay the aging time of human beings originally limited by genes." Zhou Xing introduced with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xing suddenly waved his hand, the light above suddenly dimmed, and a beam of light suddenly projected down from above, forming a holographic screen in front of Zhou Xing.

I saw that a three-dimensional human body model emerged on the holographic screen, representing the data annotations of various systems of the human body, densely packed.

"Human reproduction is inherited through genes. Our life, health, gender, ..., have been programmed in advance by genes. The truth of biological inheritance is like the system software we write, but this 'writing' is based on precise And compact,..., the arrangement of human genes is an extremely complex system, the genome that indicates human aging, involves the entire life system, metabolism,..." Zhou Xing pointed at the holographic screen with both hands, using image language to tell everyone Introducing Life Extension Gene Technology.

......

Following Zhou Xing's introduction, the picture on the holographic screen is constantly changing, the genome is eliminated, the genome series is reconstructed, and the appearance of the [-]D human model changes.

Chief, Mr. Xu, Mr. Wen, and others were fascinated by watching.

Human genetics is a very esoteric subject. Through Zhou Xing's popular science introduction, they understood the principle of human life extension gene technology.

Zhou Xing looked at everyone, smiled and finally concluded: "Now, through the calculation of the photonic computer, I have broken up billions of genomes and reprogrammed the basic series that causes human aging, just like rewriting a 'software'. change the rate of human aging."

"Well, how long can humans live longer? Will there be no other problems?"

Human genes are a complex science, Zhou Xing described this technology as 'simple', the chief frowned, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Zhou Xing smiled and explained: "Chief, how long can life be extended, the exact results need to be tested in vivo. This genome optimization and sequencing is a very complicated process. Not only that, there will be no problems. Some mutation information in genes will also be restored."

"Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, each pair of chromosomes has a number of base pairs, and genes are the orderly arrangement of base pairs. Genes determine traits, and the variation information of genetic inheritance is usually some genetic diseases, such as, Albinism, color blindness, mental retardation, schizophrenia, etc., the optimized sorting of this life extension gene, the unexpected result will be to solve the bad traits produced by the bad genes of human beings, and fundamentally cure the long-standing genetic diseases of human beings " Zhou Xing looked at the chief and introduced with a smile.

"Okay, good, good! It's really great. If this technology can really be realized, you will be the greatest contributor to all mankind!" The chief's spirit was shaken, and he grabbed Zhou Xing's hand and applauded overjoyed.

"Let's not talk about prolonging life, how many broken families will be saved if genetic diseases can be eliminated! Xiaoxing, you have done a great deed!" Elder Xu looked at Zhou Xing with deep emotion.

Although nanomedical technology has completely eradicated the incurable disease-cancer, there are still many diseases that cannot be cured, and genetic diseases account for the vast majority.

"Okay, we are looking forward to your research results." Elder Wen nodded excitedly.

Then, he looked at Zhou Xing and asked curiously: "The longevity gene technology is not the project you want to report on, so what are you going to report on?"

Hearing this, Chief, Mr. Xu suddenly realized that the reason why they took time out of their busy schedules to come to Shining Star Group today was entirely because Zhou Xing called Mr. Xu to report on the progress of the project.

Since Zhou Xing denied that life-prolonging biotechnology was the project he wanted to report on, it must be another project.

Could it be... .

The chief, Mr. Xu, Mr. Wen, coincidentally, as if they suddenly thought of something, all stared at Zhou Xing with a look of shock.

"Xiao Zhou, the situation you want to report is probably the nuclear fusion project?" The chief's eyes flickered and he looked at Zhou Xing expectantly.

"Really? Xiaoxing." Mr. Xu followed closely behind, impatiently asking for confirmation.

Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at the chief and nodded, and said: "You are wise, chief, the third test run of nuclear fusion, everything is normal, you can declare it a success."

"What! Trial operation has been done three times, when did it happen?" Elder Xu was dumbfounded and looked at Zhou Xing foolishly.

The Chief's hand tightened, he held onto Zhou Xing's hand tightly, and asked, "Really? It's there, take us to have a look."

"Okay, Chief, please follow me." Zhou Xing nodded, leading the way for everyone.

Hearing this, the chief quickly let go of Zhou Xing's hand and followed Zhou Xing's footsteps closely.

The crowd followed closely, surrounded them and walked towards the elevator.

Soon, the straight-down elevator brought everyone to the underground laboratory at a constant speed.

While leading the way, Zhou Xing introduced to the chief: "Boss, the nuclear fusion project was established ten years ago, but due to the magnetic field technology, superconducting materials, force field response,..., and other factors, the key breakthrough has really been achieved. The time was two years ago."

Hearing this, the chief nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Is it related to the photonic computer?"

Two years ago, it happened to be the time when Star Group announced the photonic computer.

Zhou Xing nodded with a smile: "Yes, because of the relationship between photonic computers, the development speed of nuclear fusion technology has been promoted to a certain extent. The two technical difficulties that controllable nuclear fusion first solves are one high temperature resistant material and the other It is the long confinement time of ions, as long as these two technical difficulties are solved, other problems of controllable nuclear fusion technology will be solved in general."

"Well, then you've solved everything, right!" the Chief looked at Zhou Xing excitedly and asked.

Thinking of the possibility of controllable nuclear fusion being realized, the chief couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

The realization of controllable nuclear fusion energy means that human civilization will usher in unprecedented changes.

Controlled nuclear fusion represents a new scientific revolution and a new industrial revolution, just like the steam engine has changed human society. Fusion raw materials deuterium and tritium are produced in oceans, which are very abundant. The amount on the moon is even greater, which can be said to be an endless source of energy. Humanity will usher in the biggest industrial revolution.

Secondly, nuclear fusion spacecraft, fusion energy can accelerate the spacecraft to 15% of the speed of light, and interstellar travel will become no problem. With unlimited energy support, human beings can build space bases in the solar system and live in the boundless universe. Start exploring, and the magnificent interstellar era is slowly unfolding to human society.

If controllable nuclear fusion is realized, in theory, human beings will obtain an almost infinite negative entropy flow, and even if there is no qualitative change in the technical level, they can survive almost forever.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation will no longer be a problem, and many problems that were originally unsolvable can be solved through violent pouring of energy, such as water shortage, environmental pollution, cold climate, uninhabitable, etc., many crazy things Plans can be easily realized through infinite energy.

Under Zhou Xing's guidance, everyone excitedly walked fast and hurriedly, and soon arrived at the nuclear fusion experiment site, a laboratory with a huge ring device.

"It is a controllable nuclear fusion superconducting tokamak experimental device. The nuclear fusion reaction takes place inside. The maximum power can generate 1.75 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour." Zhou Xing looked at the crowd and introduced the tokamak in front of him with a smile on his face. Device Road.

Hearing this, the chief, Mr. Xu, Mr. Wen and others were ecstatic.

"That's a lot! 1.75 million kilowatts per hour! It's equivalent to the energy output of five large-scale photovoltaic power plants for a quarter." Wen Lao looked at the large-scale installation in front of him in amazement and said in amazement.

Several experts and professors following behind the three chiefs seemed to see a ghost, and their eyes widened one by one.

Controlled nuclear fusion has always been a cutting-edge technology that countries around the world have focused on. Numerous physicists have devoted their entire lives to this technology, overcoming numerous technical difficulties and moving towards the end step by step.

However, before they touched the 'starting point' of controlled nuclear fusion, Zhou Xing was already waiting for them at the 'end point', and the device for controlled nuclear fusion was running steadily and continuously right in front of their eyes.

"Impossible! What material is used for the high temperature wall? How does the superconducting ring maintain the low temperature?"

"It's incredible, how did you do it? How did you achieve the conditions to cause nuclear fusion?"

"Is this true? How does the high-temperature and high-density plasma in the tokamak maintain stability? How to maintain the state of nuclear fusion?"

"..."

Experts and professors pointed their fingers at Zhou Xing, and asked sharp questions one after another. There are too many difficulties in realizing controllable nuclear fusion. They couldn't believe that Zhou Xing had solved everything.

"Do I have to answer these questions?" Looking at the aggressive professors, Zhou Xing smiled slightly, and looked at the chief inquiringly.

Chief Zhan narrowed his eyes with a smile, looked at Zhou Xing happily, cheered up, and said, "Xiao Zhou, just give a brief introduction, so that these old guys can see it."

Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded and smiled, and looked at the experts with fierce faces, and introduced: "One of the biggest difficulties in nuclear fusion is that it requires an instant high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees to cause a nuclear fusion reaction. This difficulty uses produced by particle collisions within the superconducting ring."

Hearing this, all the experts frowned. To achieve the nuclear fusion environment cannot be achieved by traditional heating methods. The impact of particles is similar to the situation of the Big Bang, and the temperature can reach hundreds of millions of degrees in an instant. It is not a problem to 'ignite' the nuclear fusion reaction.

"How can this technology be realized? Particle impact in the ring."

"Even if you successfully ignite the 'nuclear fusion', how to control them, the chaotic multiple ion bodies cannot be restrained at the same time."

"This direction is fine. What temperature-resistant material did you use? The high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees is enough to burn any material that comes into contact with it."

"..."

After listening to Zhou Xing's introduction, the experts nodded with hesitation, and then they asked more questions.

Zhou Xing smiled slightly, and continued to introduce: "I set up a superconductor group in the inner ring, which has an extreme vacuum environment, confines the fusion material in the guide ring, and establishes a stable magnetic field through high-speed particle impact and rotation,..., fixed and airtight In the space, thus realizing the disguised form,..."

......

Zhou Xing took it easy and explained one by one.
