Technology company, I will become the light of China!

The air in the box seemed to have condensed into a solid at this moment. No one expected that Ling Chuan was actually an expert in the field of nuclear energy.

When it comes to "nuclear", ordinary people may think of nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants.

But in fact, "nuclear" has a special mission. It has been tacitly accepted by all countries in the world and is the deciding factor in reshuffling the world pattern.

why would you say so?

Everyone has the desire to dominate.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a major country develops the technology to intercept nuclear weapons, it can completely break the existing pattern and make its own country the dominant player.

Without the technology to intercept nuclear weapons, who would dare to step forward and break the current situation?
It is clear.

No country dares to do this.

In addition to the sub-field of nuclear weapons, "nuclear" also plays a major role in the energy field.

Today's nuclear power plants all use nuclear fission technology, which requires a large amount of water for cooling and also produces a steady stream of nuclear waste water.

It is worth mentioning here that there is an essential difference between nuclear waste water and nuclear sewage.

Nuclear waste water is waste water that has not come into contact with nuclear fission devices, is only used for heat dissipation, and meets the United Nations emission standards.

However, nuclear wastewater is generally caused by damage to the isolation device of a nuclear power plant, which allows seawater or river water to directly come into contact with the wastewater produced by the nuclear fission device.

Nuclear wastewater not only contains a large amount of radioactive elements, but also exceeds the standard. Once discharged directly, it can cause the death of marine life at the very least, and cause deformities and mutations at the worst.

Compared with nuclear fission, nuclear fusion is much more environmentally friendly.

Assuming that magnetic confinement can make nuclear fusion controllable, it will not need to rely on a constant supply of sea water or river water for heat dissipation like nuclear fission.

Whoever controls nuclear weapons will have the dominant power in the 21st century. This is an unspoken rule that all countries accept.

After Wang Shan came to his senses, he glanced at the men and women in the box, and finally locked his eyes on Chen Xing and asked, "Brother Chen, aren't these all experts in the field of nuclear energy?"

When he said this, his voice trembled visibly.

If there are so many nuclear energy experts helping out, why worry about the failure of the nuclear fusion project?

"Gulu."

Qin Long swallowed secretly, his eyes showing anticipation, hoping for further confirmation from Chen Xing.

"That's right"

Chen Xing did not keep the secret. He nodded in confirmation and introduced: "These are all talents from my Longxing Group who have potential in the field of nuclear energy."

"hiss--"

The words fell.

Wang Shan, Qin Long and others took a deep breath.

They really didn't expect that Longxing Group had such a foundation.

Without waiting for them to speak, Chen Xing continued, "Originally, I thought that after the room-temperature superconducting material came out, I would start to develop controlled nuclear fusion, but since the country already has a corresponding project, my Longxing Group will naturally contribute."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Fengzhi nodded slightly and continued, "Yes, leaders, my name is Zhuge Fengzhi. I have been working in Longxing Group for a year. I usually assist in the research and development of lithium batteries, but I am studying high-energy neutron protection devices."

"High-energy neutron protection device?"

Qin Long was suddenly startled.

Perhaps many people don’t know what high-energy neutrons are.

To understand what high-energy neutrons are, you need to first know what neutrons are.

Neutrons, whose full name is electrically neutral particles, have a tiny but non-zero magnetic moment.

What is a tiny but non-zero magnetic moment?

Simply put, it has a certain degree of magnetism, although this magnetism may be weak, but it is not zero.

At the macro level, we may not be able to observe it, but at the micro level, we can "predict" its characteristics.

High-energy neutrons not only have magnetism, but also have ionization capabilities and can penetrate deeply into matter.

After in-depth research, it was found that nuclear fusion would continuously produce neutrons and other ions, which would penetrate the protective devices of nuclear fusion and cause lasting damage.

This is a bit like picking up wet clothes and shaking them violently. A large number of water droplets will be ejected in the direction of the shaking, while nuclear fusion ejects a large number of particles in a 360-degree range. In a short period of time, they may not cause damage to the device, but in a long period of time, they may destroy the nuclear fusion device. Therefore, how to protect these particles is an unavoidable topic in controlled nuclear fusion.

Seeing Qin Long's surprised look, Zhuge Fengzhi nodded again and responded: "Yes, I have developed a protective device. It uses a layered structure and can defend against 99% of high-energy neutrons."

"Can you tell me more about it?"

Qin Long held his breath, like a student studying.

Before entering the management position, he had actually been studying particles, looking for those illusive ghost particles.

What are ghost particles?

The mainstream academic view is that ghost particles are dark matter.

They want to indirectly prove the existence of dark matter by proving the existence of ghost particles.

But decades later, the ghost particle project still had no clue. He also switched to neutron protection, joined the controlled nuclear fusion project, and served as the leader of the "High Energy Neutron Protection Project", but there was still no obvious progress.

Many people have no idea about things at the microscopic level such as particles and neutrons, because even if you have a PhD, it is difficult to explain this knowledge.

But now, when Qin Long heard that someone had achieved results in high-energy neutron defense, he was really a little surprised and eager to verify it.

"of course."

Zhuge Fengzhi smiled calmly and explained his theoretical results:

"The shield is made of hydrogen materials, lithium-containing materials and heavy metal composites, such as polyethylene, lead and tungsten."

"First, for the outermost layer, we use wear-resistant, strong, and anti-oxidation materials to provide physical protection. High-energy neutrons can easily pass through this layer."

"The key point is the second layer. In this layer, we can use hydrogen-containing materials to slow down the speed of neutrons, which is equivalent to putting brakes on it. In addition, the polyethylene boron carbide composite material can capture a large number of high-energy neutrons while applying brakes."

“What should we do with the remaining high-energy neutrons?”

Zhuge Fengzhi answered his own question and continued, "The high-energy electrons that penetrate the second layer have slowed down and can be called medium-energy electrons, or medium-speed electrons. At this time, the third layer of heavy metal protective layer can reflect part of them to the second layer."

"If it still penetrates, it's okay, we still have the fourth layer."

Zhuge Fengzhi paused for half a second and said the fourth layer of materials: "That is to use graphite and beryllium oxide to completely cut off the path for high-energy neutrons to continue moving forward."

"In summary, high-energy neutron protection devices achieve effective protection against high-energy neutrons through multi-layer material shielding, neutron deceleration and absorption, reflection and scattering mechanisms, as well as customization and optimization."

Qin Long listened to Zhuge Fengzhi's story and roughly understood his ability. He walked up to him excitedly and said, "If you join the controlled nuclear fusion project, we will be like a tiger with wings and a fish in water, Comrade Zhuge Fengzhi."

Soldiers are easy to get, but generals are difficult to find.

The materials mentioned by Zhuge Fengzhi can be synthesized by the Dragon Science Institute.

In other words, as long as he goes to the Northwest Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base, he can immediately show his skills.

"The president has already talked to us. For the great rejuvenation of Dragon Country, we are willing to go." Zhuge Fengzhi stated directly.

Not only him, but others also expressed their attitudes at this moment.

"For the great rejuvenation of Dragon Country, we have no choice but to contribute!"

"That's right. Since we have come to the appointment, we have already made up our minds to go to the Northwest Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base!" "That's right!"

"For the great rejuvenation, for the Dragon Kingdom to reach the top of the world again!"

"Sun Yat-sen once said that the revolution has not yet succeeded and comrades still need to work hard. Perhaps our generation is to shoulder this mission, so we are willing to go!"

Listening to the firm and resounding answers from the crowd, Wang Shan and Qin Long felt deafening, as if thunder was ringing in their ears.

Going to the Northwest Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base means that they cannot reveal any information to the outside world before it is decrypted, and they may even stay there for decades.

If it weren't for patriotism, who would be willing to devote decades of their youth?
Just as I said at the end, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard, and the current generation is shouldering nothing else but to lift the Dragon Kingdom back to the top of the world, a position it has maintained for thousands of years.

"Good good!"

Wang Shan said three good words in a row, and his eyes were already slightly moist.

He didn't shed tears even when a bullet pierced his thigh. But tonight, he was truly moved by everyone's determination.

This is just like Huang Biao, the "puppet army hero" during the Anti-Japanese War. Although he was misunderstood by his fellow villagers and spat on and stoned by children when he went out, he did not get angry, but smiled with relief: "Our children still have backbone, and there is hope for the country."

In Wang Shan's view, as long as one has courage and faith, all difficulties are temporary.

If everyone loses their courage and faith, then there will be a complete loss of hope, which is a thousand times more terrifying than war.

"With your help, I believe that Dragon Country will not only be able to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, but will also be able to return to the top of the world in no time."

Qin Long said excitedly.

"Of course, as long as we are united, all difficulties will be a thing of the past."

"well said!"

"I suggest you take your seats. I want to offer you a glass of wine."

Zhang Zhongchun, Yin Songyang and Hao Zidong also expressed their views.

These academicians did not go to the United States, did not change their nationality, and were not corrupted by the hundred-fold high salaries. In fact, they all held their breath in their hearts, and that was to see whether their motherland could achieve great rejuvenation.

Because in the inherent thinking of the Dragon people, when encountering a strong enemy, they will unite to fight against the enemy.

It is like the Three Kingdoms period, no matter how Wei, Shu and Wu fought, whenever there was a foreign invasion, the three would send troops to quell it.

This is why foreign invasions were rarely heard during the Three Kingdoms period. This is also why the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China and the capture of the two dragons are still regarded as shames.

"Please take your seats. This meal is like your farewell banquet. One day in the future, I hope to have a welcoming banquet with you."

Chen Xing glanced at everyone and said.

"Mr. Chen is right. Please take your seats. I'll go and order the food." As soon as Zhang Zhongchun finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the box and greeted his guard standing at the door.

Because it involved top-secret conversations, not only was the box carefully inspected, but the manager who was required to stand at the box door waiting for instructions according to hotel regulations was removed and replaced by Wang Shan and Qin Long's guards.

"I'll do it right away."

The guard hurried over to notify them.

Not a moment.

Dishes were served on the table.

When the door of the box was closed again, Wang Shan picked up the wine glass, stood up, glanced around and said, "This glass of wine is for everyone."

Say it.

He tilted his head back and drank it all.

Seeing this, the others stood up and drank up the drinks in their hands.

Qin Long put down the cup, picked up the wine dispenser and poured himself a glass of wine, then raised the cup again and said, "I'll toast to you all too."

Without hesitation, he drank it all in one gulp.

Although they are old and have quit drinking for health reasons, when they were young, who couldn't drink a few glasses of wine?
Qin Long not only drinks, but he used to be a heavy smoker as well.

Now, after two cups of wine, not only did he not feel drunk, but his brain became clearer, as if it had been activated.

"Then I'll toast to you all, and wish you all a speedy return. I also look forward to the day when controlled nuclear fusion will make its high-profile debut."

Chen Xing raised his glass.

As I drank glass after glass of wine, time passed by little by little.

……

Half past ten in the evening.

It started to drizzle in Shenzhen.

Because it was the rainy season and we were in eastern Guangdong, no one cared why it suddenly started to drizzle, but the rain also added a lot of sad atmosphere to the parting.

"Gu... Chief Gu, I, Qin Long, have admired very few people in my life. You are one of them, and Mr. Chen is another. Sometimes, I really have to believe in the existence of national destiny."

"Because at the critical moment, our Dragon Country is full of talented people!"

Qin Long didn't know how many glasses of wine he had drunk, but he was already tipsy and had to pause sometimes when speaking.

"Looking back over the past five thousand years, I also believe in the existence of national destiny."

Wang Shan nodded and said.

Gu Ren, whose cheeks were already red, responded intermittently, "I... I don't know... I don't know what national destiny is, but what I know is... that you have to walk your own path."

The voice just fell.

With a loud thump, Gu Ren's head hit the table. He was obviously drunk and passed out.

Not only him, most of the people in the box were drunk.

The only ones who can still remain sober are Chen Xing, Wang Shan and Qin Long.

"It's getting late, let's end our meal here."

Chen Xing glanced at the drunk people in the box, then looked at Wang Shan and Qin Long and said, "By the way, what time do you plan to go to the northwest?"

"Originally it was scheduled for tonight in the early hours of the morning, but given the situation, I'm afraid they won't be able to wake up for a while, so let's talk about it tomorrow."

Wang Shan responded.

He had asked Zhao Chenguang to contact the Western Military Region and dispatch a special military plane, which had already landed at Shenzhen International Airport two hours ago.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, if we take away so many people, it shouldn't be a problem for you to mass-produce room-temperature superconducting materials, right?"

Qin Long seemed to have sobered up a little and spoke more fluently.

Chen Xing glanced at the sleeping Gu Ren and responded to Qin Long: "Don't worry, with the material synthesis formula compiled by Chief Gu, mass production is a foregone conclusion."

"That's good."

Qin Long breathed a sigh of relief.

He doesn't want the nuclear fusion project to delay Longxing Group's own mass production. A win-win situation for both parties is the best outcome.
