Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 20 Quantum Fields

three days later.

The remote suburbs of Beijing.

When Fang Yan came to this mountainous area again, the China National Nuclear Corporation's brand had been removed and replaced by Blueray Technology's own brand.

“How many employees do we have here?”

Fang Yan asked Li Muyun in a low voice. As a qualified hands-off boss, he didn't even know the number of employees. He just felt that there were more people than he had imagined. The base, which was deserted last time, suddenly became lively.

"There are a total of 758 people in research and engineering, and over 2,000 in the logistics and security team."

Li Muyun explained, "One hundred and thirty-five members of the research team have participated in the Elite Program. Logically, the Elite Program is a targeted training program provided by the government, and according to their contracts, they are not allowed to work in non-governmental sectors."

"But the Ministry of Science and Technology, considering the importance of our project, made an exception and allowed them to work part-time at the company until the project is completed or has a clear path forward, and then return to the authorities."

Fang Yan nodded slightly. Although he had once had a very unpleasant argument with the Minister of Science and Technology Huang Yuan, judging from the current situation, the support from the Earth authorities was not bad.

After a brief tour of the research base, Li Muyun brought Fang Yan to the lobby on the first floor.

In accordance with Fang Yan's pragmatic personality, he did not prepare any ceremony or groundbreaking ceremony. He simply gathered all the researchers in the hall, and the logistics department prepared some tea and snacks.

Fang Yan looked around and found that except for Zhang Dongpeng, Gigi Lai, Bloom and others who had joined the company earlier, he did not recognize most of them.

Fang Yan walked up to the front desk with remarkable calmness, plugged his phone into the new projector, and then coughed twice and said, "Welcome everyone to Blue Light Technology. I'm Fang Yan."

"As we all know, the opening of the company's No. 1 R&D base is for controlled nuclear fusion and reactor miniaturization research."

"Now I'll talk about what everyone is most concerned about: the technical route we chose, as well as the principles and implementation steps."

sigh~
As Fang Yan lightly tapped his finger on the phone, a simulated holographic image of the quantum field fusion reactor immediately appeared in the center of the hall and continued to circle around, allowing everyone to clearly see the structure and details of this energy device.

"Isn't it a star simulator?"

"Isn't the company planning to adopt the most mainstream magnetic confinement technology in the Milky Way?"

"Could it be laser confinement?"

"No, this device is obviously smaller and more complex."

"Could it be ion beam compression technology?"

“No.”

"That's strange. Magnetism, lasers, and ion beams are the three major controlled fusion technologies currently in the Milky Way. Aren't we planning to use someone else's solution?"

Except for a few core members including Li Muyun, most people did not know Fang Yan's plan, so the employees were stunned by this strange fusion device and whispered about it in the audience.

At this time, Fang Yan spoke in a calm but rapid voice, "What you're seeing now is quantum field controlled fusion technology. Unlike traditional magnetic confinement or laser confinement, quantum field technology can completely control the temperature, density, and shape of the plasma with extremely high precision and speed, thereby achieving a stable and sustained nuclear fusion reaction."

"The point I'm pointing at is its core device, the quantum field generator. It uses complex superconducting coils and quantum computing modules to generate and control the quantum field."

"Inside the quantum field generator, there are a large number of miniature superconducting rings. These superconducting rings generate localized quantum fields through precise current control in an extremely low temperature environment. These quantum fields are then projected into the plasma with a specific waveform and frequency, forming a dynamic 'quantum field cage' that can change the confinement shape and energy state of the plasma at any time."

"Traditional magnetic confinement or laser confinement technologies often face problems with plasma instability and energy loss, but quantum fields can sense even the slightest disturbance in the plasma and quickly adjust and absorb it." "In other words, there is a major difference between quantum field technology and the three major technologies currently mainstream in the Milky Way: quantum field technology does not involve plasma turbulence."

Boom~
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall was in an uproar.

All researchers working in high-energy physics understand what the absence of plasma turbulence means.

Besides improving reactor stability and operating costs, the absence of plasma turbulence also means miniaturization! This makes it easy to fit the reactor into a starship, or even a small shuttle!

"This is too outrageous!"

"I never imagined that we would be developing quantum field technology on Earth!"

"Pinch me! I'm not dreaming!"

"The reactor we're going to build is even more advanced than the three major technological routes currently in the Milky Way!?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Can it be done? Why does it feel so unreal?"

The employees were completely shocked, while Li Muyun looked at everyone with a calm expression. He had felt the same way that night not long ago and almost wanted to pry open Fang Yan's head to see what was inside that could allow him to come up with such a miraculous plan.

As Fang Yan's speech deepened, more and more truths about quantum field technology gradually surfaced.

From the energy efficiency of fusion reactors, to the miniaturization of reactors, to the safety control that can cut off the reaction at any time, Fang Yan's plan involves all aspects and is a truly mature, complete and highly feasible plan.

The researchers were all excited. Even Brown, who came from the inner ring of the Milky Way and had the title of mid-level engineer, couldn't help but cheer again and again, appearing more excited than the people on Earth.

Finally, Fang Yan also made specific arrangements for R&D work.

For example, with the current level of technology on Earth, we are unable to manufacture the materials needed for superconducting coils, and we can only purchase them from pan-galactic material suppliers.

But purchasing from Galaxy does not mean giving up independent research and development. Fang Yan's plan is to carry out procurement and research and development simultaneously. Once his team has the ability to manufacture superconducting materials, he will replace the technology and replace the superconducting materials imported from Galaxy with those produced on Earth itself.

This is undoubtedly a long process, but Fang Yan is full of confidence because all the technical routes are engraved in his mind and he just needs to take it step by step.

"Okay, that's about all I have to say."

Fang Yan raised his head and said to everyone, "I will lead a task force to develop the core component, the quantum field generator. Li Muyun will be responsible for the rest of the grouping and task arrangements."

After saying that, Fang Yan walked down from the front desk, but the people in the hall could not calm down for a long time. They were rubbing their hands, their excitement beyond words.

"I've just told Mr. Aliat about your amazing plan." Brown came to Fang Yan and said, "He asked you to call him as soon as you get back."

Fang Yan nodded.

He had long anticipated that his high-profile actions on Earth would definitely not be hidden from Ariat's eyes.

But Fang Yan had no intention of hiding anything.

Whenever there is something that is difficult to explain, just push it onto the group of scapegoats.
