Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 1030: Master Zhou Likes to Look at Beautiful Women

"Master Zhou is awesome!"

On the other side of the Fu Rui Hall, at the staff passage, Zhou Rui, who had just walked out, looked towards the entrance in confusion.

Who is it? Shouting the truth for no reason.

Gan Yuan saw the boss stop and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Rui shook his head: "Nothing."

His hearing is now very sharp. After all, he is a man who can dodge bullets by relying on his hearing. Even without the bonus of [Entry], it has reached an exaggerated level.

He has received professional training and fights drones and rubber bullets every day.

The only pity is that I didn't gain enough experience before coming to Hangzhou. [Crisis Intuition] stopped at (82/100) and [Explosive Power] was (69/100).

Explosive power is easy to talk about. You can also run in Hangzhou these days. In short, you can get it in the short term. At this time, it is more important to participate in the "Science and Technology Expo" first.

He arrived in Hangzhou yesterday and inspected all the booths in the "Furu Pavilion" before the venue was opened.

In his words, the technologies displayed in the "Furu Pavilion" are unlikely to be surpassed in the future, but they are definitely unprecedented.

This is also true even if we eliminate the level of technological development in each era and only consider the degree of shock to contemporary people.

In addition to fixed-style booths, there will be a number of new technology launches based on the "daily theme" and its own rhythm. For example, this afternoon, there will be an extended introduction to "life extension technology" and a briefing on "Compound No. 2."

The so-called briefing is to tell everyone "We have made some discoveries in this direction", "We are preparing plans", "It is not convenient to tell you about the current progress".

Then I actually got several injections.
However, this part of the content is usually scheduled in the afternoon. The morning time period is free for Zhou Rui himself. There is no need to stay inside the "Fu Rui Hall". He plans to visit other places.

He was interested in many aspects of this "Science and Technology Expo".

Walking out of the staff passage, Zhou Rui looked around, took out his baseball cap and put it on his head. Gan Yuan also smiled and put on a mask.

Her temperament and figure are quite eye-catching, but Gan Yuan's recognition is not as high as Zhou Rui's after all. A mask can basically ensure that she will not be recognized.

The two of them blended into the crowd.

Since his identity was unknown, Zhou Rui became more flamboyant and directly put his arm around Gan Yuan's waist: "Let's go! Let's go to Hall No. 1 first."

Except for the most special "Fu Rui Pavilion", the four major exhibition areas are all standard exhibition models, with each company and exhibitor setting up their own booths.

Those with consumer products, especially large companies, will make their presentations very high-end and grand, while those without consumer business will mainly focus on demonstrating their technological level.

For example, the "China National Nuclear Corporation" booth that Zhou Rui passed by at this time was also very large in Area No. 1. The most eye-catching feature was a nuclear reactor model that was quite hardcore.

Most people come here just to watch the fun and admire the feeling of nuclear industry. It's enough if the specific content is awesome!
Below the huge model, the word "Linglong" was written.

This is a small modular reactor that China National Nuclear Corporation is currently developing and plans to develop for commercial use in the future. It is just right for display and to look for possible orders.

Although it is called a "small reactor", its actual size is 14 meters high, about 10 meters long and wide. The one here is a 2:1 model.

Even so, it is the world's smallest nuclear reactor and a modular commercial reactor. When it comes out, the difficulty of building nuclear power plants will be reduced by 70%, especially for small countries without nuclear industries.

Zhou Rui visited the CNNC booth like any other tourist. Although he had never studied a nuclear reactor, he could tell at a glance that many technical details had been omitted from the model.

However, the information is written in more detail. In addition to "Linglong No. 1", it also introduces some other technologies, such as the "Thorium-based molten salt reactor", one of the fourth-generation nuclear power routes that is being tackled.

Apparently seeing Zhou Rui's rare seriousness, a staff member in his forties took the initiative to come over and said, "Sir, do you need me to explain something to you?"

Zhou Rui saw his name tag, which said "Ren Yeming". He didn't look like an ordinary commentator. He was too old.
But he didn't refuse, he just came here to shop: "Okay, thank you for your help."

The man smiled and said, "What you are seeing now is the fourth-generation nuclear reactor, or more precisely, a technical route for the fourth-generation reactor."

"Oh? Are there other technical routes?"

Ren Yeming said: "Naturally, nuclear reactors have many important components, the most important of which is heat transfer and cooling technology, which then leads to different technical routes. Currently, there are six recognized fourth-generation reactor routes, including 'gas-cooled fast reactor', 'molten salt reactor', 'supercritical water-cooled reactor', etc. Thorium-based molten salt reactor is one of them."

Zhou Rui nodded and said, "I see. Are there any mature fourth-generation reactors on the market?"

"No, they are all under development, but our thorium-based molten salt reactor is the closest and is expected to be completed within three to five years."

At this time, an elderly tourist who was listening to the explanation suddenly interrupted and said, "There are no such things abroad? What about the United States?"

Ren Yeming smiled and pushed up his glasses: "No, that's the 'sodium-cooled fast reactor' route, but it's 5-10 years behind us."

The old man habitually showed an expression of disbelief on his face, but then he thought of something and sighed, "That's good. Our country has been very powerful in recent years." Zhou Rui asked again, "What about nuclear fusion? How far have we progressed in nuclear fusion?"

Ren Yeming said confidently: "We are also at the world's leading level. We are working on both magnetic confinement and inertial confinement routes. We are not only CNNC, but also CGN. We are also participating in international projects. Even some private enterprises have emerged to enter this field."

But after he finished speaking, his words became weaker: "Of course, there is still a long way to go before maturity."

Uncle: "Hey, that sounds good. It's good to study it. Take your time."

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "I understand. Nuclear fusion is still fifty years away, right?"

Ren Yeming scratched his head. This cold joke in the technology world was really hard to refute.

"In addition to engineering manufacturing and design capabilities, the biggest stumbling block for the magnetic confinement route is the strong magnetic field control technology, which requires breakthroughs in superconducting materials, and inertial confinement requires optical components and energy collection. Although these are improving every year, there is still a gap between them and commercial use."

It seems that he couldn't find any analogy for the moment, so he blurted out: "It's just like the gap between me and Master Zhou."

The old man interjected: "That's a big difference."

Gan Yuan couldn't help but look back.
This person might be from Tianjin. Can't a single word of his be spoken be left unsaid?
The old man said again: "You guys should ask Master Zhou to research nuclear fusion! Maybe he can figure it out for you in a few steps?"

Ren Yeming chuckled: "Not a lot, but if Master Zhou comes, we will definitely welcome him. However, he is busy with too many things, so his attention has not yet turned to us."

The old man: "Then you have to fight for it yourself. Look at them, they are all young girls supporting them! You get a bunch of old men~, Master Zhou doesn't need them~, Master Zhou likes to see beautiful women!"

Zhou Rui coughed dryly, then continued walking forward with Gan Yuan in his arm.

I understand. I can bring it myself. I don't need to go to the booth to find it.
The old man's voice could be heard from behind: "Tell your leader to contact Master Zhou and assign him seven or eight female secretaries. He will definitely come to your unit to conduct research."

Zhou Rui: Wow~this young man!

What job did you do before?

Zhou Rui looked at the CNNC booth for quite a long time, which even slightly disrupted his original visit plan.

Many people think that nuclear fusion is a physics problem, but in fact nuclear fusion is an "engineering" problem.

Because of the part that is objectionable to humans, the word "controllable" should be added.

The physical principles are so simple that they can be understood at the junior high school level, but how to use engineering to achieve the goal is the difficult part.

Moreover, even if nuclear fusion can be stable and controllable and ignited with excess energy, we still have to consider how to generate electricity.

Hmm. So conquering the universe is mankind's destiny, and so is boiling water.

After leaving the CNNC booth, Zhou Rui visited several small exhibition areas. This time, there were not only giants like CNNC, but also many companies that were not well-known but had unique technologies.

For example, there is a company engaged in "desertification transformation" and has developed a "sand to soil" plant fiber adhesive that can quickly improve the geological conditions of the desert, is environmentally friendly and harmless, and after ensuring the water-locking ability, it can be combined with planting transformation to ultimately completely improve the desertification geology.

This technology has great potential, but it is not mature yet, mainly because the cost is too high and cannot cover the expenses and economic benefits of "desert transformation", but there is hope in the future.

Zhou Rui saw many people talking there, some of them were obviously willing to invest
"You and the 'God of Agriculture' are working together to make the transformation more efficient, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! This is the most efficient way to use it! However, if the 'Agricultural God' wants to change to sand wheels, we have 5000 acres of experimental fields in Minqin, and Agricultural God is involved in all of them."

"I remember the government provides subsidies for this, right? Is it expensive to build a factory?"

"Yes, there are subsidies. We are optimizing the cost of building the factory. By the way, what is your name? Let's sit down and talk."

The "China Hi-Tech Expo" is just like that. In addition to allowing big names in various fields to demonstrate their technical strength, it also hopes to promote the implementation of technology, find projects for funding, and find funding for projects.

Technology is not an aggregate concept, but a network that covers every corner.

Nuclear fusion is a technology, and converting sand into soil is also a technology.

The Nantianmen platform is technology, and the food delivery platform is also technology at a special time point.

Some sound very high-end, and some sound very simple.

Zhou Rui actually came up with a few ideas and asked Gan Yuan to write down their names and contact information, hoping there might be opportunities for investment and cooperation in the future.

At this time, these small and medium-sized enterprises do not know what kind of fast track they are on.

Or maybe "rocket trajectory" is more appropriate.
After walking around for more than two hours, Zhou Rui looked at his watch and said, "Let's go back first. The hair dryer session is about to start."
