Black Technology Editor

Chapter 144 Conjectures about Technology Editors
Just look at the smart unmanned factory and various types of T-1 robots to see how much artificial intelligence technology can help industrial development.

However, for industrial development, artificial intelligence technology alone is not enough.

Because in the final analysis, these can only be regarded as advanced equipment and tools.

There are two key factors in industrial production, mineral resources and energy.

The issue of mineral resources is not urgent for the time being, because Lu Chen regards the vast land of Africa as his own.

If it doesn't work, there are still mineral resources in the ocean. In the end, there is still outer space, and mineral resources can always be solved.

But the premise of realizing all this is that you have to have enough energy or electricity.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as human beings have enough energy, theoretically all problems can be solved.

You can see a set of formulas:
element = equipment + power;

equipment = element + equipment + power;

Grain = element + equipment + electricity;

Weapons = Elements + Equipment + Power:

material = element + equipment + electricity;

Girl = element + equipment + electricity;

Cough cough, in short, with enough energy, human beings have unlimited possibilities.

Judging from the current level of scientific development, there is a technological solution that is said to be 50 years away, which can realize the dream of almost unlimited energy for mankind.

That is controlled nuclear fusion technology.

The future of this technology is simply too bright.

Because not to mention anything else, compared with fission-type nuclear power plants, materials for controlled nuclear fusion are too common.

In the current ocean, about 270 trillion tons of deuterium and tritium are stored.

With the current level of human development, God knows how long it will take to use up these resources.

However, everything is afraid of a but.

Not to mention how difficult it is to achieve cloning nuclear fusion, it is as difficult as climbing the sky to extract deuterium and tritium nuclei from the ocean.

It's not that it can't be extracted, but the cost of extracting it is too high.

If a technology costs more to input than to produce, it proves that the technology is meaningless, at least until humans exhaust existing fossil fuels and other energy sources.

The same goes for controlled nuclear fusion.

When it comes to controllable nuclear fusion, we have to talk about one thing, the Q value.

What is the Q value, in simple terms, is the ratio of output energy to input energy.

That's right, controllable nuclear fusion requires energy input. As we all know, nuclear fusion requires an environment of ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure.

To achieve this environment, you need to invest energy.

Generally speaking.

Q>0, achieving fusion reaction, but meaningless.

Q>1.0, the output energy is greater than the input energy, "break-even", but it is still useless, because human beings can only boil water, and they have to lose more than half of this output energy into electrical energy.

Q>2.5, the output energy is still greater than the output energy after being converted into electric energy, which is a practical breakthrough, but compared with other power generation methods, you still suffer a huge loss, unless you have to, a fool will use this method to generate electricity.

Q>50, the output energy can be converted into electric energy and become profitable, which has the possibility of commercialization.

Here, congratulations, you can finally phase out thermal power generation and fission power generation, and replace them with clean and pollution-free fusion energy.

After talking about the Q value, let’s talk about the current level of the world’s major countries in the field of controllable nuclear fusion. The world’s hegemony, the United States, has a Q value of 0.3, Huaguo, whose Q value has not been announced is less than 0.5, and the Sakura country’s Q value is 0.25. As for other countries, None exceeded 0.5.

This level, that is, the fusion reaction is achieved for a short time, but it has no practical significance.

This is still the level of the strongest countries in the world.

As for those small countries, let’s talk about the technical solution of controllable nuclear fusion.

There are currently three ways of controllable nuclear fusion known to humans.

The first is gravitationally bound nuclear fusion represented by the sun.

The second is magnetic confinement nuclear fusion in the direction of increasing temperature.

The third is inertial confinement nuclear fusion with the direction of increasing density.

Of these three methods, the first one passes directly.

Just kidding, human beings haven't even figured out what gravity is, so how to use it.

The remaining two schemes have been carried out by various countries. For example, stellarators and tokamak devices are all derivatives of the magnetic confinement scheme.

However, there is no breakthrough research, not to mention the commercialization of the Q value exceeding 50, and even the "break-even" of 1.

Lu Chen was also quite confident before that if countries couldn't do it, it doesn't mean that he couldn't do it either because of cheating.

That's right, how could he not join hands with such a tall thing as controllable nuclear fusion.

But the result was cruel. Since Lu Chen obtained the technology editor, for the first time, a technology with three question marks appeared in the research time.

In desperation, Lu Chen had no choice but to cancel this research and let the Academy of Civilization Sciences turn to research on room temperature superconducting materials.

That's right, the direction Lu Chen is going to go is exactly the direction of magnetic restraint.

Room-temperature superconducting materials are one of the key materials to achieve magnetic confinement.

However, it is no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of room temperature superconducting materials is no worse than that of controllable nuclear fusion.

It's also an almost incomprehensible thing.

There is no other way, Lu Chen can only put these two projects on hold temporarily, and only set up a room temperature superconducting material research center in the Academy of Civilization Science.

Let them try to do this research, but Lu Chen himself didn't have much hope.

Because these two technologies are the ones Lu Chen encountered that even the technology editor can't solve.

Of course, it may not be that the technology editor cannot solve it, but that solving these two technologies requires the level of the technology editor.

You must know that until now, Lu Chen has not upgraded all the subjects in the technology editor to Lv1.

It is true that there is a reason for his lack of skills, but in the end, he was still slack in improving the level of the technology editor.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen ordered Ling to open a hidden T-1 alloy secret door on the back wall of the office, and opened three secret doors in succession. In the end, he took the technology editor from the safe in the secret room. come out.

Open the technology editor. Compared with the previous database, although there are changes, it is not too big.

a. Mathematics: Lv1 (0/1000)

b. Physics: Lv1 (0/1000)

c. Chemistry: Lv1 (0/1000)

d. Biology: Lv1 (0/1000)

e. Material science: Lv1 (0/1000)

f. Energy Science: Lv1 (0/1000)

g. Informatics: Lv1 (500/1000)

h. Engineering: Lv0 (95/100)

If you have to talk about changes, it is a subject like chemistry, which has changed from less than 10 experience points to the current Lv1.

Other than that, the mathematics and physics that reach Lv1 can't be said to have changed much, because these two subjects already have 99 points of experience long ago.

From this point of view, the technology editor is only one engineering away, and all of them have reached Lv1.

I don't know if there will be any changes after all of them reach Lv1?
For no reason, this idea suddenly popped up in Lu Chen's heart.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. Maybe after the technology editor reaches Lv1 in all disciplines, there will be changes in scientific research capabilities?
In this way, wouldn't he be able to research the two technologies of controllable nuclear fusion and room temperature superconducting materials?

It's not completely unfounded for Lu Chen to think so.

Because there was a change in the technology editor once.

Speaking of which, it was when Lu Chen was developing Chensheng Technology. At that time, he raised Informatics to Lv1. This was also the first time that a Lv1 subject appeared in the technology editor.

After that, the technology editor, which could only conduct one technology research, became able to conduct two technology researches at the same time, doubling the research capacity.

But now, if all subjects are raised to Lv1, will there be any new changes?
