Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 43 Making trouble

Fang Yan stood in the center of the stage with a smile. He coughed lightly and began to speak, "Just now, the staff told me that the acceptance speech could take up five to fifteen minutes. So I thought about it and decided that instead of saying a bunch of words of thanks, I should do something practical and take this opportunity to hold a new product launch."

"After all, countless viewers across the galaxy are watching right now. If I miss this opportunity, I, a small figure from the edge of the galaxy, will probably never have such conditions again."

Hearing this, the audience burst into laughter. They all felt that Fang Yan was a pragmatic and humorous guy. It was amazing that he could think of launching a product in such a formal occasion.

Although such behavior was surprising, the laughter was also mixed with understanding of Fang Yan. After all, it was well known that in the marginal star region where Fang Yan lived, resources were scarce and conditions were harsh. To be able to get to where he is today and stand on the stage of the entire galaxy, Fang Yan had obviously experienced countless hardships and difficulties.

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to promote his company and products as much as possible. This was undoubtedly a smart strategy and also a survival instinct.

"Life is hard in the fringe star zone"

"It's really not easy for Fang Yan to get to where he is today."

"Although this approach is a bit cunning, it reflects the pragmatic spirit that engineers must possess."

"Forget about that. Just tell me! Is such a small fusion reactor real?!"

"The focus now is on the reactor! It's on the technology!"

The audience was talking about it. In addition to expressing their understanding of Fang Yan's approach, countless professionals had already set their sights on quantum field technology. After all, once the reactor was miniaturized, its practical significance to the Milky Way was really too great, and it might even be another technological storm.

At the same time, far away in the Gillon family's manor, Isabella and Aunt Fanny were watching the live broadcast.

When Fang Yan announced that he would take this opportunity to launch a new product, Isabella burst out laughing. She was completely amused and thought Fang Yan was a really interesting person.

Completely different from those scholars who only knew how to preach rigidly, although Fang Yan's behavior was a bit abrupt and even rash, Isabella felt inexplicably appreciative and happy.

"This guy Shi Tou is really special. He always comes up with some unexpected ideas." Isabella thought.

Aunt Fanny turned her head and looked at Isabella, a trace of imperceptible tenderness flashed in her eyes, and she thought to herself, "With Fang Yan here, if I really leave one day, maybe little Beibei won't have such a bad life."

……

Standing in the center of the stage, Fang Yan took a deep breath and glanced at the audience who had already quieted down. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a quantum field controlled fusion reactor newly designed by our company. It uses quantum field technology to confine plasma and achieve controllable fusion reactions."

"The volume of the quantum field reactor is only one-eighth of the conventional fusion device in the Milky Way, but its power can reach 5,000 megawatts."

This sentence was like dropping a bombshell, instantly plunging the entire venue into unparalleled shock.

Countless scientists and engineers in the audience looked at each other, as if to confirm whether they had heard correctly.

However, Fang Yan continued with steady confidence, "Compared to the three major fusion technologies currently used in the Milky Way—magnetic, laser, and ion beam—quantum field fusion is not only far more efficient, but can also achieve the same or even higher energy output with a smaller device. Furthermore, this technology can significantly reduce the complexity of cooling and stabilization equipment." "While traditional fusion technology is stable, it is bulky and requires long-term control of the plasma through magnetic fields. Over time, magnetic field deformation becomes increasingly severe, and it can easily fail due to magnetic field collapse."

"As for laser fusion technology, while precise, it consumes a lot of energy, has extremely high maintenance costs, and is very difficult to control remotely. Ion beam fusion technology, while having greater propulsion power, still faces the problems of high fuel consumption and unstable continuous control."

“But now, quantum field technology changes everything!”

"It achieves precise and stable fusion reactions by manipulating the field effects of microscopic particles. It doesn't require a massive magnetic field system, high-energy laser equipment, or complex fuel processing technology. This breakthrough means we can deploy powerful energy facilities on smaller starships, on barren asteroids in remote star regions, at a lower cost and faster speed. This will greatly benefit existing expeditions and resource development operations in the Milky Way..."

Fang Yan spoke very quickly, and as he introduced himself, the audience fell into an unprecedented state of frenzy.

People were whispering and exclaiming, some could hardly control themselves and stood up to cheer loudly, while more people were clapping their hands desperately, the applause was like thunder, echoing throughout the venue.

The live broadcast images were quickly transmitted throughout the entire galaxy through the interstellar network. All the people who were watching, whether they were in the core area of the galaxy or in the distant edge and dim star regions, all the audience who were paying attention to this grand ceremony were also caught in the frenzy.

On social networks, Fang Yan's name quickly topped all the hot topic lists. People simply couldn't believe that a young man from a fringe star area could come up with powerful technology that could completely change the Milky Way at such a moment.

“Five gigawatts? How is that impossible!?”

"Such a small volume can actually output such a huge amount of energy. Fang Yan is truly amazing. He is definitely a genius!"

"Oh my God! If quantum field technology were to be put into mass production, the galactic shipping and energy industries would completely enter a new era!"

"I think this technology will completely rewrite the current landscape of the galaxy!"

"That's right! It will greatly reduce the cost of intergalactic travel and make it easier for remote areas to achieve energy freedom. Quantum field technology is truly amazing!"

"Awesome! Fang Yan is awesome!"

The live broadcast comments were filled with various excited opinions. Even some scientists who are usually steady could not control their emotions and excitedly discussed the possibilities and future prospects of quantum field fusion technology.

There is no doubt that if this technology is truly mature and put into use, it will mean that the Milky Way will completely break free from the limitations of current energy. Any interstellar spacecraft, remote probes, and even colonies in remote galaxies will have unlimited energy supplies.

In the Jilong family's manor, Aunt Fanny and Isabella stared at the screen intently. When Fang Yan introduced the size and power of quantum field technology, Isabella's eyes sparkled, and she clenched her fists uncontrollably, "Fang Yan is so strong! He's amazing!"

Aunt Fanny was completely stunned. She couldn't imagine that Fang Yan had such great potential, even beyond her comprehension.

She recalled the scene when Fang Yan called her last night. She never thought that the technology Fang Yan mentioned was actually such a unique one in the world.
Aunt Fanny's eyes moistened slightly as she looked at Isabella, who was standing beside her with an admiring expression. A smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. "This man is probably much more powerful than I imagined. In a way, this is Isabella's luck."
