It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 463: Coexistence of Technology and Superstition (Happy New Year)

"I think the most important thing now is what the future will be like under the leadership of China?

You should know that I'm going back to Downing Street soon, right?" Although the pub is Baron Osborne's family business, he still lowered his voice when he talked about this.

Things come true in secret.

Until you get back, you can never be too careful.

You can guess it, but you can't say it out of my own mouth.

"I know." Andrew replied in the same low voice.

"I spent the whole day yesterday at the Atomic Energy Authority in Abingdon, meeting with experts to discuss the social changes that this technological breakthrough could bring."

“Now it’s not just a single technology that has achieved a breakthrough, but a large number of technologies have achieved breakthroughs, but in the past there was no force that could bring these technologies together.

The advantages mentioned above are only limited to the production side. Artificial intelligence also consumes a lot of energy. With controlled nuclear fusion, China will be able to push computing power to new heights.

Nuclear fusion provides electricity for AI computing power, and AI computing power serves to amplify labor on the production side, which will further reduce the cost of China's manufacturing industry.

Considering the same level of single labor force, India or other developing regions are indeed cheaper than China, but relying on artificial intelligence technology, the productivity of one worker in China is the same as that of 100 or even 1000 workers in India.

What China needs to do in the future is to continue to tap the potential of artificial intelligence on the production side and infinitely increase its advantages in manufacturing costs.

No one can beat China in this manufacturing competition.

This is already an established reality.

However, this is not the crueler reality. The crueler reality is that there is also a glimmer of hope in aerospace technology. China has preliminarily completed the construction of the Earth-Moon system, and China's nuclear fusion materials can be obtained in large quantities from the moon.

No one can restrict China by obtaining resources from the universe, using controlled nuclear fusion to provide unlimited energy, and using artificial intelligence to solve the problems of labor shortage or expensive labor.

China has solved both the production and resource ends. Their only shortcoming is in the financial end, and it is only a matter of time before this shortcoming is made up.

Even in my opinion, China does not need to solve this problem.

Because at this point, China can choose a completely new way of playing."

"We now need to think about what strategy to adopt."

At this time in Yanjing, China, many think tanks gathered in Yanjing, and everyone was holding meetings to discuss what strategy China should adopt.

Because we have now reached a completely new situation, the game has entered a new stage.

There are so many things to discuss, including finance, education, military, scientific research, etc. The strategies in these fields all need to be started from scratch.

Taking finance as an example, why should I still recognize a currency like the US dollar that has no anchor and relies purely on the credit of America?
Under the current circumstances, what unique products, services or high-tech can America still export to support the US dollar to become the global currency and to issue unlimited amounts of it to reap the world's excess productivity?
China can completely reconstruct a monetary system based on electricity and computing power.

Using nuclear fusion power stations spread all over the world, a global energy matrix is ​​constructed as the cornerstone of the new global monetary system. Deuterium refineries, nuclear fusion power stations and computing centers on the sea are jointly constructed into floating computing islands, which are supported by the network of China's Internet satellites. The computing power system constructed in this way serves as another cornerstone called computing power.

From the traditional sea power logic, it has transformed into an energy-information dual-channel control system.

Without the dollar, it will be questionable whether America can stabilize the American continent.

In the field of education, should we comprehensively increase the difficulty of education, increase the selection standards for high-level talents, and increase the welfare of the grassroots people while increasing the supply of high-level talents? Is the so-called quality education and education model that reduces the burden on parents and schools suitable for the current development needs of China?
We even need to improve the intensity of the education system. Can the current teachers adapt to it?

Even if teachers in the compulsory education stage can select corresponding talents, when it comes to the university stage, can universities that focus more on scientific research than education adapt to such a change?
There is so much to discuss anyway.

This May is an unforgettable month for the Chinese people. But for Chinese officials, it is a month of explosive workload. Not only in May, but throughout the whole year, the workload has exploded.

Of course, here we are referring specifically to the officials in Yanjing. It is not their turn to think about this issue in other places.

Earlier in Andrew Neil’s talk show, it was mentioned that Shenhai has a nuclear fusion experience center.

The experience center was built by Guangjia Aerospace at the entrance of the IFC on Century Avenue in Lujiazui, just a stone's throw away from Apple's flagship store in Pudong.

"If there wasn't a special application channel within the company, I feel like I would never be able to apply for the Xihe experience voucher even if I wait in line for my entire life." Zhou Jin complained.

Why energy is so important.

For other things, even if the quality is exactly the same, there are consumers who will pay for the brand and the authenticity. For example, for luxury goods, even if Chinese imitations can be so indistinguishable from the real thing, rich people will still buy the authentic ones.

But when it comes to energy, does it make any difference no matter what form it takes or where it’s generated?
In addition to those people who complain about HiFi online, saying that hydropower is colder and thermal power is warmer, the higher the proportion of anthracite, the better the sense of transparency. As for wind power, the sense of layering is poor and the listening experience is hazy.

Other than that, I haven't seen any mention of any difference in charging in different places.

But the older Chinese people are flocking to the Xihe Nuclear Fusion Experience Center.

The entire venue covers a very small area, only about 20 square meters.

There are two things inside. One is the power banks densely packed on the wall, and the source of power is the electricity generated by this controlled nuclear fusion experiment.

If you want to purchase it, just scan the QR code, pay 199 yuan and you can take it away. It has the light armor logo and flame logo on it.

This thing has been hyped up to 50000 yuan online, and it’s sold out within seconds of being put on Xianyu.

After all, there are only 100 tickets to the Xihe Experience Hall every day.

The second thing is the headset in the middle, with a line of words below it as an annotation:
“With the breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion technology, we have finally reached the ultimate frontier of audio fantasy—sound waves will break free from the shackles of classical electromagnetism and present a four-dimensional auditory landscape that subverts cognition.”

In simple terms, this thing is a sound device that uses nuclear fusion to generate electricity.

With just one headset, everyone can listen to the Internationale for four minutes and thirty-seven seconds.

It's that simple. There's a headset in the middle of the venue and power banks are all over the walls. There's nothing else except these two things.

But it cannot resist the crowds and is known as a must-visit check-in spot for the Chinese elderly.

In recent years, Shenhai has had to visit quite a few check-in spots.

There are so many people outside Xihe every day that we can’t get in. It should be okay to take pictures outside, right?
Compared to the crowded Xihe, no one goes to the Apple flagship store in the IFC. No matter how good your AirPods are, can they compare to the sound of my nuclear fusion power generation?

Given the tight supply, 100 places are open to the public every day, which does not mean that its reception capacity is limited to 100 people.

In addition to being open to the general public, 50 places are available to some institutions every day.

For example, students from major universities in Shenhai, Guangjia Aerospace, a certain blue bank, Shenhai Electronics, etc., these are important local institutions in Shenhai.

If there was no such opportunity and we had to rely on drawing lots, I don’t know when I would get the chance.

Foreign netizens who know about this thing are complaining about why it is only open to Chinese people and why they can only fill in the ID number on the application page.

“Didn’t it say on the Internet that the headphones in Xihe can produce a sense of plasma transparency and quantum auditory phenomena?” Lin Tianmin joked.

He came here with Zhou Jin. He didn't get to draw a lot, but he still wanted to come and see.

Today is a working day after the May Day holiday, and the scene is still crowded with people, with many couples queuing in the queue area.

"From what they say, aren't they just playing with memes? The sign inside the memorial was the first to play with memes, and these people followed suit." Zhou Jin explained. "It's only here that strict facial recognition and ID card verification are set up, otherwise the tickets will be resold by scalpers."

“There’s a lot of hype about nuclear fusion power banks right now, and the prices have gone sky-high.

In addition to taking photos, you must remember to buy a power bank when you go in." Lin Tianmin reminded.

If you win the ticket but don’t buy a power bank, you’ll be at a big loss.

"Of course it will be fine. I guarantee it will be bought for you." Zhou Jin said.

Lin Tianmin asked: "Will you sell it?"

"Do you want to buy it?" Zhou Jin said, "If you want to buy it, I'll give you a discount."

Lin Tianmin explained: "I don't want to buy it. I want to take it back and show it to my wife."

Zhou Jin was the type who rushed in too early but was scared off by the sky-high bride price and harsh conditions and ended up breaking up, whereas Lin Tianmin went from knowing each other to getting married in just one year through blind dates.

"Isn't sister-in-law not interested in these things?" Zhou Jin said. He didn't envy her for getting married at all. Instead, he felt that the free and easy life now was what he wanted.

Lin Tianmin said: "I was thinking of taking it back and taking a photo of it for her to show off on WeChat Moments."

The reason why the Xihe Nuclear Fusion Experience Center is so popular is not only because the power banks are sold for tens of thousands of dollars, but also because you can take photos and record videos inside.

In short, the most important check-in function is provided, and there are also great value souvenirs, which maximizes the emotional value.

"Whose idea did you think of for the sound effects of nuclear fusion power generation?
I always feel like the God of Light is playing a trick." Lin Tianmin asked.

Zhou Jin thought for a moment and said, "Only he has the authority to write this paragraph.

Besides, I always feel that maybe there is another deeper meaning behind this passage. ”

The experience hall is shaped like a miniature Dyson sphere that has fallen into Lujiazui. Its titanium alloy curved shell is inlaid with a honeycomb-shaped luminous matrix. The blue-gold light patterns flowing on the surface simulate the plasma turbulence of the tokamak device.

The holographic lintel at the entrance plays a microscopic animation of the moment of controlled nuclear fusion ignition in a loop, and the collision path of deuterium and tritium ions is artistically transformed into the brushstrokes of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".

I waited for two full hours before I arrived at the entrance of the venue, and was able to enter the venue after passing facial recognition and ID card swiping.

The security robot dog's eye laser scanner occasionally projects red warning lines at the feet of the crowd, reminding tourists to keep their distance and queue up according to the planned route to enter.

“It’s really spectacular!”

The moment you step into the venue, the temperature drops by 3.2℃. On the circular wall made of special materials, densely packed power banks are suspended in hexagonal honeycomb grids. The bottom of each grid flows with a faint blue halo simulated by the magnetic field of the stellarator, and the crystal coating on the surface of the power bank reflects nebula-like patterns under cold light.

When Zhou Jin approaches, a QR code will appear on the glass outside the power bank. After scanning the code to pay, the glass will drop, and a mechanical arm will extend from the nest to push the power bank to the access port. At the same time, a synthesized voice will sound: "You have received the 443rd fusion energy flow. This energy is collected from the Rainbow Bay Mine on the Moon. I wish you a pleasant experience on Earth."

Zhou Jin didn't believe that the samples were collected from the Moon Rainbow Bay mining area, because he was an employee of Guangjia Aerospace and knew that developing the Moon Rainbow Bay into a mining area was one of the core projects of Guangjia Aerospace in the next stage.

However, it was precisely because of these words that Zhou Jin became more convinced that the words written by the God of Light under the headphones also had additional profound meaning.

Moon Rainbow Bay will be developed into a mining area. Could it be that the God of Light has discovered a theory that allows sound waves to break free from the shackles of electromagnetism? Zhou Jin thought so.

Anyway, in the stadium, listening to the Internationale through the headphones, Zhou Jin didn't know if it was an illusion, but he really felt a special sense of clarity. "Is it true that the sound caused by nuclear fusion power generation is different?"

After he walked out of the venue, a bunch of scalpers immediately pushed in front of him at the exit:

"Hey, bro, are you selling your power bank? 3 RMB!"

"Sell it to me for 3!"

"Hey, hey, hey, 4! 4, handsome guy, are you selling it to me?"

Zhou Jin shook his head while holding the power bank tightly. Fortunately, there were mechanical dogs patrolling around, otherwise it seemed that these scalpers would tear him to pieces like in a zombie siege.

"How about it?"

After returning to the car, Lin Tianmin asked while playing with the power bank printed with flame graphics and the light armor logo.

Zhou Jin said in a trance: "It's worth a visit, it's really spectacular. Although it's only a small area, it feels like the whole person's body and mind have been sublimated inside.

You know what? I feel like I'm different all of a sudden.

I even wonder if there is some special magnetic field inside.”

"It's a psychological effect, 27% psychological effect." Lin Tianmin laughed. "Many people on the Internet also said so. It's just like what they said on the Internet that using Xihe power bank to power Switch will increase the temperature of Zelda's fire special effect by %. It's purely a psychological effect."

In addition, in order to avoid hype, there is only a so-called voice broadcast in the venue to tell you which number of power bank you have. Apart from that, there is no other proof. However, a lot of Xihe power banks on Xianyu claim that the power banks they sell are numbered "008".

The seller insisted on selling it for 15 yuan, saying that it was because the frequency of its magnetic field could resonate with the fortune of the zodiac sign.
