Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

38 years.

This year, Mo Dao was forty-four years old.

The student who started to teach me when controllable nuclear fusion was realized on the Suiren Demonstration Reactor,

I finally ‘finished my studies’.

In fact, Mo Dao has not only brought up this one student in the past ten years.

One after another, two relatively ‘young’ professors were selected from the core theoretical team of the demonstration reactor to lead them.

However, the difficulty of knowledge still makes things happen first.

This is still the first student to graduate from Modao.

Obviously, no degree certificate will be issued after you 'graduate' from Mo Dao.

The only thing that can be taken away from Mo Dao is the overall design technology of controllable nuclear fusion taught by Mo Dao.

and turbulence theory that was still far ahead of its time.

In addition, he might be labeled as a Mo Dao student.

"Teacher, sometimes I still feel confused in many places."

"If you have any questions later, you can come to me and ask."

At this moment, Mo Dao, the first student in this life, is almost fifty years old.

When he 'graduated' from Mo Dao, more domestic commercial reactor construction work was also handed over to him.

He will independently solve most of the special problems in the construction of current deuterium and tritium fusion commercial reactors, and will even be responsible for improving the overall design of the current deuterium and tritium fusion commercial reactors according to local conditions.

There is still some potential that can be exploited in deuterium-tritium fusion commercial reactors.

The demonstration reactor team led by Mo Dao is mainly engaged in research on next-generation helium-3 fusion.

After ten years of study,

Mo Dao, this student, basically no longer felt the same shock as before.

Although it felt wrong, I was still a little blind to the teacher Mo Dao.

Even now, he still feels that he has not caught up with Mo Dao in the fields of controllable nuclear fusion technology and turbulence.

In the past ten years, he just followed Mo Dao's teachings and walked the path from the existing turbulence theory to the turbulence model given by Mo Dao.

And he was just learning.

Most of the time, just thinking about how difficult it is to find this path out of the darkness is enough to make one's head spin.

"Thank you, teacher."

The student thanked Mo Dao again.

In this life,

Although Mo Dao still has the title of professor.

But limited by his turbulence theory and the final turbulence model, which are directly related to controllable nuclear fusion,

It is estimated that it will be difficult to have a few students in a lifetime.

…

In 38 years, there were other things.

Basically, more or less, it has something to do with Mo Dao.

Because controllable nuclear fusion technology is actually the foundation and source of changes in this era.

The three-dimensional farm plan that took root in the northwest,

After selling a batch of vegetables to the market for the first time in 37 years,

In 1938, larger quantities of vegetables were sold to the outside world.

The construction area is 50,000 square meters, approximately 75 acres of land.

Currently, there are more than 70 layers in use.

The actual planting area is almost 5,000 acres.

The three-dimensional farm relies on the design of a large number of intelligent machinery for land, and the utilization rate of land and space is far beyond that of ordinary agriculture.

The space on the first floor is two meters.

There are also layers within layers, so multiple crops can be grown on one layer at the same time.

And basically all year round, there is a steady stream of output.

With sufficient energy supply, even if it only covers an area of ​​50,000 square meters,

But that year, the three-dimensional farm plan had already produced a considerable amount of vegetables.

Even this year, the three-dimensional farm also produced some fruits such as grapes.

Although compared to the needs of the entire country of China, it is still a drop in the bucket.

But it is nothing less than a successful interim result.

A professor in charge of this project excitedly announced at the press conference,

Starting next year, they will also add poultry farming in the three-dimensional farm.

And benefit from this phased achievement.

The construction plan for a larger three-dimensional farm has also been submitted again.

Mo Dao also saw this submitted plan.

Although this plan is far from Mo Dao's current work field,

But it is undeniable that Mo Dao’s influence at this moment is difficult to be limited to the field of controllable nuclear fusion.

It is inevitable to ask for his opinion on almost all matters related to energy and the direction of technological development.

also,

Another thing that happened this year is,

China's aerospace department announced that it will build a semi-permanent base on the moon covering an area of ​​no less than 500 square meters.

The plan is expected to be completed within fifteen years.

The premise of this plan is that in the year when Modao announced the completion of controllable nuclear fusion technology,

China completed the manned moon landing in 28 years just before the planned time.

However, the popularity of this matter at that time was mostly suppressed by the more important news of the realization of controllable nuclear fusion.

After that, from 28 to 38 years.

While the construction of controllable nuclear fusion commercial reactors is being accelerated,

Nor has it relaxed its investment in the aerospace field, especially its investment in lunar exploration.

In recent years, a semi-permanent research base has been placed on the moon.

It only occupies a small area and is composed of five closed cabins.

There are about ten astronauts and payload experts permanently stationed there. When two waves of people change shifts, there can occasionally be fifteen or sixteen people.

This year, the announcement of a new and larger semi-permanent base construction plan is based on this.

This matter,

It is directly related to Mo Dao.

The higher authorities attach so much importance to lunar exploration and the construction of lunar bases,

The core reason is the prospect of second-generation controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Although the enrichment rate of helium 3 on the moon is average, the total amount is still good.

Although the current helium-3 fusion technology has not made much progress,

But it must be prepared in advance.

At the same time, it would also be a good idea to go to the moon and get some more helium-3 and come back to academician Mo for research.

…

Then came 39 years.

The Chinese side is relatively quiet.

Outside China, a relatively big thing happened.

A country in Europe and America, and it is said that the bear country also had a hand in the controllable nuclear fusion experimental reactor technology has made breakthrough progress.

The multi-party fusion experimental reactor achieved a Q value of ten.

The basis for its realization is, of course, the technical solution with a Q value of ten that was exchanged by China.

The time spent in this process has been eleven years.

But for a country in Europe and America, it is not too slow.

When both parties decided to cooperate, it was undoubtedly a bad move.

Nothing happened where cooperation would benefit both parties.

Since the interests of both parties are not completely unified, during the construction process of this cooperative experimental reactor based on the technical plan given by China,

There is really a lot of time for Shuangan to argue.

And it takes time to build an experimental reactor from start to finish. It is impossible to rely on the current industrial situation in a country in Europe and America.

It is also as efficient as when Changyedui was first built.

At the same time, it will take time to fully understand this technical solution, and it will also take time to unify opinions.

at last,

Able to complete this experimental pile at this point in time,

To a large extent, it is Europe and America that have felt the tremendous pressure brought by the rapid development of China.

Abandoning many previous suspicions, we have continued to increase investment in the field of controllable nuclear fusion research and speed up efficiency.

Under normal circumstances, these two parties should have made some progress in controllable nuclear fusion technology.

It was also greatly influenced by this technical solution with a Q value of ten.

As this technical solution has become mainstream, it has inevitably squeezed the resources of these two researchers in other areas of controllable nuclear fusion.

This has nothing to do with whether these two parties are stupid or not.

Unless these two parties can give up this technical solution with a Q value of ten,

Try to explore on your own and see if you can get here in a few decades.

Otherwise, this thing is inevitable.
