Academicians of major countries start from top students

"Hurry up and complete the final inspection to ensure that all equipment is functioning normally. Everyone should return to their respective work stations in ten minutes."

Tuesday, October 2028, 8.

In the morning, inside the aerospace carrier of the manufacturing base, engineers could be seen everywhere working quickly. All of them were on high alert and were completing their tasks quickly according to instructions.

Today is the day for the aerospace carrier to conduct full system operation tests.

With Xu Yuan's personal participation, the country's first aerospace carrier has basically completed all its functions after such a long period of research and development and manufacturing.

It is no exaggeration to say that the progress has reached 99%.

It can even take off at any time.

However, the first flight of the aerospace carrier will surely attract worldwide attention, so no unexpected situations can occur during the flight.

This will not only fail to maximize the deterrent effect of the aerospace carrier.

It might even have the opposite effect.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a full system operation test of the mothership before its official maiden flight.

While the engineering staff were checking the equipment in various areas of the mothership, everyone in the mothership's brain bridge also had a look of worry on their faces.

Unlike the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter, the size of the aerospace mothership is really too large, and the number of advanced equipment and devices it carries can be said to be an astronomical number.

If there is any error or incompatibility anywhere in between, it will be fed back to the bridge brain display screen.

This means that the full system operation test has failed.

After all, even on the ground, there is no way to ensure that the various systems of the ship work together stably. If it really flies into the air or space, it will only greatly increase the risk factor.

This is obviously not possible.

It was impossible for Xu Yuan to launch a mothership with problems.

This makes everyone feel nervous, fearing that something might happen and waste all the time they have put in.

"Xiao Xu, are you sure?"

Mr. Wang, who had rushed over from Yanjing yesterday, suddenly asked Xu Yuan beside him while sitting on the chair. Although he seemed not to want to put pressure on Xu Yuan and managed to maintain a relatively calm expression, his hand on his thigh, which he couldn't help but subconsciously began to exert force, proved his nervousness at the moment and his worries about the test.

Xu Yuan naturally noticed what Mr. Wang did, but he didn't expose it.

The next second he answered affirmatively: "It won't be a problem."

He said this not simply to appease Mr. Wang, but because he had enough trust in himself.

There has never been any failure in the project that Xu Yuan has participated in.

Moreover, the progress bar on the virtual panel has reached 100%, which is a good proof of this point.

As it turned out, although Mr. Wang was worried about the results of this test, he believed Xu Yuan's words very much.

After hearing this decisive tone, his brows finally relaxed a little, and even the corners of his mouth turned up to smile again.

"I feel much more relieved after hearing your words." He took his hand off his thigh and continued, "The global situation now seems stable and calm, but in fact it is like the calm before the storm. We must complete the layout as soon as possible."

After listening to all of Mr. Wang's words, Xu Yuan also understood.

Since the official debut of the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter, the Human Security Alliance has come to nothing.

There are many small countries in the world that have also chosen to actively show goodwill, obviously wanting to cling to the East.

But the more this happens, the more fearful America will be. Knowing that they cannot turn the situation around, they may resort to desperate measures.

Since the beginning of this year, news about laser nuclear fusion has been frequently reported overseas, which provides some information.

It is obvious that until this moment, the opponent has not completely given up and wants to attack.

In this situation, if we want to completely stabilize the international situation once and for all and concentrate the power of human civilization to accelerate development, the aerospace carrier, a real dimensionality-reducing strike weapon, is undoubtedly the best and most suitable method.

When an aerospace mothership, which is far ahead of its time in technology, takes off from the sea and launches into low-Earth orbit to overwhelm the world, please believe that anyone will lose their courage.

In this way, you can completely abandon the meaningless thoughts in your mind and win the battle without fighting.

Originally, with the strength of the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter, it could achieve this level.

However, if you want to unleash the true combat power of an aerospace fighter, it is obviously difficult to rely on just one.

Unless you have a complete formation.

As of now, including the first test aircraft unveiled last year, only three can be used for combat.

This is the result of integrating a systematic fighter production line.

no way.

After all, it is a groundbreaking aerospace fighter with far-leading technology. It is obviously impossible to have the same production efficiency as ordinary drones.

However, the main reason is that the Xuanniao unmanned air and space fighter has only been approved to enter the mass production stage after passing its maiden flight test. The production speed in the early stage will definitely be very limited.

Of course, as time goes by and the scale of the production line is expanded, this efficiency will definitely improve.

These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. After Xu Yuan came to his senses, he took over the conversation and replied.

"As long as the full system operation test is passed this time, I am confident that before the end of this year, our Kunlun will be officially launched and have the complete combat power of an aerospace carrier."

"It's only a few months away from the end of the year." Old Wang joked with a smile on his face.

Before Xu Yuan could respond again, Yue Jinwei next to him couldn't help but add a sentence.

"I believe Academician Xu can definitely do it."

Xu Yuan turned his head and said, "It seems that our Captain Yue is already getting impatient."

Yes.

After several seminars and conferences attended by Xu Yuan, the country's first aerospace mothership was officially named Kunlun, which is implied to be a well-deserved national treasure.

As for Yue Jinwei, he was appointed as the first captain of Kunlun.

Speaking of this matter, there is a small episode. When discussing the candidate for captain, Yue Jinwei took the initiative to volunteer to take charge and even expressed his willingness to resign from other positions.

It is obvious that the country is really proud of its first aerospace carrier.

When Yue Jinwei heard Xu Yuan say what he was thinking, he did not try to hide anything. Instead, he just smiled and continued talking.

"Of course I want to take command of the Kunlun sooner, but I still need your help, Academician Xu."

"Don't worry, Captain Yue, we won't have to wait too long." Xu Yuan reminded with a smile on his face, "But Captain Yue needs to pay special attention to the Kunlun crew."

"That's for sure." Upon hearing this, Yue Jinwei quickly indicated that he understood.

Unlike aircraft carriers sailing on the sea, the requirements for crew members who are responsible for various functional operations on an aerospace carrier are relatively high.

In addition to engineering personnel such as operations and maintenance, they are even required to have knowledge of advanced technology.

And the control of the mothership's weapon systems.

Therefore, after undergoing rigorous selection, the crew members must also participate in long-term training and studies.

Eventually he joined the Kunlun and became a formal crew member.

But you have to know that even an ordinary aircraft carrier requires several thousand staff members, not to mention an aerospace carrier like the Kunlun.

Therefore, even if the selection and training of crew members has already begun, there will definitely still be a big gap by then.

However, it must be said that I believe that in the future, being a crew member of an aerospace carrier will definitely become a very popular career choice.

In the past, if ordinary people wanted to experience space, they could only work hard to become astronauts.

And you have to stand out from the crowd and be selected to carry out the mission. You can imagine how difficult it is.

After all, whether it is stationed in a space station or going to the moon, the number of personnel is extremely small.

However, the aerospace carrier directly recruits thousands of people, and when it is not performing combat or exercise missions, it will spend most of its time parked in low-Earth orbit.

In a sense, it is equivalent to a super-large space station.

Even because of the existence of the force field drive device, the crew members will not feel weightless when staying in the mothership.

-

Just as Xu Yuan and the others were talking, He Luping walked over.

Before I could even steady my steps, the sound came out.

"The final inspection of the mothership has been completed, and the numerical performance of all equipment is normal."

“Meets launch requirements.”

Xu Yuan listened to He Luping's report in full and then stopped wasting time.

He looked directly at the information display in front of him and officially gave the ignition command the next second.

"Start the Kunlun." Almost at the moment these words were uttered, the operator sitting in front of the center console, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately fiddled with the various buttons in front of him.

At the same time, the command broadcast sounded in the bridge.

"The No. 1 reactor in the energy core module has been ignited successfully, and the fusion reaction is normal."

"Reactor No. 2 has been ignited successfully, and the fusion reaction is normal."

"The force field drive module is normal."

"Compound engine..."

……

The Kunlun, which was originally like a dead object, became like a giant beast gradually waking up as each area was successfully started and operated.

Even though Xu Yuan and others were standing in the bridge, they could feel the terrifying power of this behemoth.

At this point, there's no need to say a word, the feeling of blood boiling is sweeping over your whole body.

It seemed as if every cell in the body was vibrating with excitement.

Just like that, when the mothership's main control system completed its self-inspection and fed back the data of the entire mothership to the display screen, He Luping, You Kairong and others could no longer control their emotions.

I couldn't help but shout out in surprise.

"All systems are operating normally. Our Kunlun was a success."

"I really want to take off right now and feel it!"

Without He Luping and You Kairong reminding him, Xu Yuan naturally knew that today's test was a success.

It can be said that even if the engine power is increased now, there will be no problem in getting the Kunlun into space.

But there had been no preparation in this regard before. Now, once the Kunlun is launched, it will inevitably have a huge impact. At least there is no way to conceal the sudden appearance of such a behemoth in the air.

In addition, there are not even a few crew members on the Kunlun at the moment, which obviously does not meet the requirements for takeoff.

Anyway, the existence of the aerospace carrier must be announced, so there is no need to rush it right now.

In short, it will be enough to make sure that the aerospace carrier has been successfully developed.

At this time, all the people in the bridge were applauding and celebrating excitedly.

Old Wang stood up suddenly, his face full of joy and he said several good words.

"it is good."

"Okay."

"With such a national treasure in our possession, we no longer have to be timid."

After calming down a little, he turned around again, looked at Xu Yuan with satisfaction and said:
"Xiao Xu, you can pick a date. We will then invite the people of the country to witness the launch of the Kunlun."

"Our human civilization cannot continue like this. We must use the right methods to integrate technology and put civilization on a better path of development."

"As for the matter of the nuclear fusion power station, you can discuss and decide on your own when you return to Science Island. Anyway, from today on, we just need to do our best to demonstrate our strength."

It can be seen that Mr. Wang is still very excited at this moment and he explained several things to Xu Yuan in succession.

And still not satisfied.

In the past, whenever advanced equipment was developed, the old version was always released for public display.

Therefore, it was also ridiculed as being too backward to be displayed.

The main purpose of doing this is to keep a low profile and make a fortune in silence.

Avoid being too conspicuous and being targeted by others.

But now it’s different. With the aerospace mothership and aerospace fighters, it’s a dimensionality reduction attack on others.

In this situation, the more you show your strength, the more your enemy will lose courage.

Xu Yuan naturally understood what Mr. Wang meant, after all, he had mentioned it before at the discussion meeting.

In addition to the Kunlun's launch into space, the most anticipated technology is the controlled nuclear fusion technology.

With the country's first nuclear fusion power station operating stably for so long, its technological maturity is beyond doubt, and now more nuclear fusion power stations are under full construction.

It is about to replace the original energy model and achieve energy substitution.

This also brings the cost of electricity to a very low number, so it is time to officially announce this news to the outside world and announce a plan to comprehensively reduce electricity prices.

As the founder of Hyperloop 3's controlled nuclear fusion, Xu Yuan would definitely appear in person at such occasions.

Since the country achieved manned lunar landing and made plans to build an international lunar research station, Xu Yuan has basically not made an official appearance in public. This time is a good opportunity.

More importantly, as the two major projects of aerospace fighter and aerospace mothership are about to be completed and human civilization will enter a new era, he will finally have the opportunity to take some time to rest.

Give your family more company.

So the thought stayed here, Xu Yuan nodded and said: "Science Island has already contacted me."

"That's good. I'll be waiting for your good news." Mr. Wang nodded and his smile grew wider.

……

Just as planned, with the successful completion of the full system operation test of the Kunlun aerospace carrier, everyone had a happy and proud smile on their faces after the test.

Let’s celebrate today’s successful test.

Of course, this situation only lasted for one day, and everyone returned to work the next day.

Prepare for the official launch of Kunlun.

In addition to the first batch of thousands of crew members who will enter the Kunlun one after another and begin to familiarize themselves with the environment inside the mother ship, the only three aerospace fighters in the country will also be docked at the Kunlun.

After arranging these tasks, Xu Yuan set off back to Luyang Science Island.

As early as a few days ago, the Institute of Plasma Physics on Science Island officially announced the news to the public.

Announced that a global press conference would be held and invited journalists and media from all over the world to attend.

It even said that Xu Yuan would be the keynote speaker at the press conference, and the content would be related to the tokamak device.

When the news spread quickly, it caused an instant sensation.

You should know that since a few years ago, no news about the Tokamak artificial sun project has been announced. In addition, at that time, overseas countries claimed that laser nuclear fusion was the only correct direction to achieve controlled nuclear fusion. After association, many people agreed with this statement.

The news about the artificial sun was lost because domestic researchers discovered that the tokamak device did not work and chose to stop the project.

The subsequent appearance of the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter was also seen by everyone as Xu Yuan's abandonment of nuclear fusion and his focus on developing force field drive devices, which achieved tremendous results.

Nowadays, when it comes to research on controlled nuclear fusion, most people will focus on overseas laser nuclear fusion devices.

The tokamak device is basically no longer mentioned.

But now the artificial sun project team suddenly announced that it would hold a press conference on Tokamak.

Even the main speaker was Xu Yuan.

It makes people feel confused and have no idea what the inside story is.

So within an hour after the news spread, this incident dominated the top search and hot topic lists on domestic website platforms.

If you randomly click on a comment section at this time, you will find that netizens are discussing it fiercely and speculating on the specific content of this press conference. Later on, they become visibly excited.

"Am I seeing things right? Hasn't there been any news about the artificial sun project a long time ago?"

"Everyone said that the tokamak device would not work. I thought we had given up on this direction. Now tell me that this is not the case."

"Hasn't Academician Xu been researching force field drive in recent years? Otherwise, how did we get our Xuanniao unmanned air-space fighter? When did he participate in the research of the tokamak device?"

"I always feel like there will be big news. Could it be that we have made great progress in our research on the tokamak device?"

"Isn't the Tokamak direction a dead end? If we really want to study controlled nuclear fusion, we still have to start with the laser nuclear fusion device. Recently, good news has been coming out from overseas one after another."

“I feel like there’s something to look forward to. Maybe there will be a surprise.”

“Who says the tokamak device is a dead end? It’s just that no one has been able to synthesize room-temperature superconducting materials.”

"I still think that it was Academician Xu who mastered the Tokamak device. He could even master the Xuanniao unmanned aerospace fighter. Controlled nuclear fusion may not be able to stump Academician Xu."

……

Compared with the surprise and confusion of domestic netizens, people overseas were somewhat disdainful after learning about this incident.

After all, all we have heard over the years is news about our own laser nuclear fusion. How could we possibly believe that there has been a breakthrough in the tokamak device? This is absolutely impossible.
