The sun never sets

There will be officers, soldiers and hospitals dedicated to the operation of the underground shelters, and if war really breaks out, they will be responsible for the defense and medical work.

The Industrial Syndicate was really preparing for a nuclear war, not just pretending to do so. Not only did they take many measures to deal with a nuclear attack, they also taught residents a lot of knowledge about how to prevent nuclear bombs.

Until 1945, the labor union was worried that the People's Revolutionary League would take the initiative and completely interrupt the labor union's plan to develop a nuclear bomb. When the first atomic bomb of the labor union exploded, the worries of the labor union leaders were half dissipated.

The power of the atomic bomb is also very strong, but it is still far behind the hydrogen bomb. Now the industrial group only has the power of nuclear counterattack, not that it can't fight back, but the industrial group is still at a disadvantage.

For the sake of national security, the British and French alliance did not dare to stop chasing. After detonating the first atomic bomb, they were busy making hydrogen bombs. Within a few years, they still had to be on the defensive.

Making atomic bombs and early hydrogen bombs requires a lot of resources, but compared with the war, those consumptions are nothing. From 1942 to 1945, the economy of the syndicate was restored, and the living standards of the people returned to the pre-war level, which was not high, but not low either.

In the syndicate, luxury goods were greatly restricted, and civilian consumer goods were often in short supply, but half of the staple food was not in short supply. The syndicate introduced food coupons, oil coupons, cloth coupons, as well as TV tickets, air tickets, bicycle tickets, etc. Various kinds of coupons filled every aspect of the syndicate, ensuring that even in wartime, most people would not starve to death.

The industrial syndicate developed very quickly, especially in heavy industry. The Anglo-French Alliance's steel production had surpassed Germany before the war. After the war, the Anglo-French Alliance's heavy industry was further developed, producing more tanks and aircraft.

The war was extremely costly. Germany almost lost all its tanks in the war, and the trade union's tanks were also destroyed in dozens. In the later stages of the war, the trade union pulled out many old tanks.

While the trade unions were developing, the People's Revolutionary League was also not idle.

Preparations were being made for the fourth Five-Year Plan, but due to the increasingly tense international situation at the time, the Fourth Five-Year Plan was temporarily shelved.

After the war, Lin Yongchang and the Standing Committee of the Central Committee agreed that there would be no major wars in the next six or seven years, so they re-formulated the "Fourth Five-Year Plan" and began to implement it in 1944.

The fourth five-year plan still includes content related to infrastructure, electronic equipment, culture and education, and also adds some new projects, such as launching satellites, setting up local area networks and other things that seem like black technology.

In the 1940s, weren’t satellites and information networks considered high-tech?

In addition, the alliance is also preparing to build the first nuclear power plant to realize the peaceful application of nuclear energy. Of course, the nuclear power plant generates electricity through nuclear fission. Research on nuclear fusion power generation is underway, and the progress is very touching.

According to another time and space, it would take 1950 years for nuclear fusion power generation to be practical. Lin Yongchang could not wait that long, as the golden age was about to end. He had to come up with the technology of nuclear fusion power generation before .

In order to achieve this goal, a series of pre-requisite technologies must be unlocked, and there is also a penalty for technological advancement, which requires a large number of points. In order to earn so many points, Lin Yongchang used all the methods he could.

Nuclear fusion power generation technology is not only a solution to energy problems, but also the key to mankind's journey to the stars. If you want to travel between stars, you can't use chemical fuels, and the curvature engine only exists in fantasy, and even the theory is not self-consistent.

Among the existing plans, nuclear fusion is the most likely way to travel between stars, if nuclear fusion power generation technology can be lit up.

The Alliance mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The nuclear fission power generation plan was a great success. The first nuclear power plant had been built for more than half and was ready for use by the end of 1944. However, the nuclear fusion power generation plan did not progress smoothly. Every technical difficulty was as difficult to climb as the Himalayas.

The scientists and engineers involved were very confident that lighting up the sun would be a natural outcome as long as they could overcome the difficulties. However, Lin Yongchang was not as confident as the scientists. If there were no plug-in, it might be like another world, with an eternal fifty years away from practical use.

Even with the plug-in, Lin Yongchang did not dare to say that he would be able to light up the technology of nuclear fusion power generation before 1950. However, he still did it. Even if he could not achieve the most important goal, he could get a lot of useful things in the process of research, and he could gain a lot in materials science and mechanical engineering control.

Chapter 959: Changing the Cage and Changing the Birds

[People's Revolutionary League] In addition to focusing on developing science and technology and using many new energy sources, it also vigorously developed petrochemical energy. The production capacity of the Nanyang and Siberian oil fields was further expanded. In addition, the alliance discovered a number of large oil fields in the Middle East.

Large oil fields have been discovered in the Arabian Peninsula, Syria, Egypt and other places. The oil fields in these areas of the Middle East have the characteristics of large reserves, easy exploitation, high quality and convenient smelting, and they are ranked among the best in the world.

Around the oil fields in the Middle East, the Alliance built a series of industrial cities and sent tens of millions of people from the country to work in the Middle East. In order to allow those people to work with peace of mind, their families also followed them to the Middle East.

As the population increases, it is necessary to solve their food, clothing, housing and transportation, which requires the development of farms around, the need for kitchens and places to buy clothes; it is necessary to solve the problem of children going to school, which requires the construction of schools; it is necessary to solve the problem of medical care, which requires the construction of hospitals;

With so many people, we need police stations and fire departments... So many people have poured into the Middle East, changing the local population ratio in a very short period of time. The labor union called the People's Revolutionary League's behavior a restoration of "colonialism", and some domestic experts also proposed the idea of "emptying the cage and replacing the bird", but the official alliance did not recognize these claims.

Liberating and developing productivity is what the Alliance Central Committee has been doing all along. As for the rest, they are just things that naturally emerge in the process of development. Some emerge, and some die naturally.

The People's Revolutionary League was not fascist and did not commit genocide in the Middle East. Instead, it carried out local literacy and established a series of schools to help local residents get rid of the ignorant old era so that everyone could enter the new era and enjoy the convenience brought by science and technology.

With the development of science and technology, the economic base has changed, and the superstructure built on the economic base will inevitably change as well.

The Central Committee of the League strongly criticized the rhetoric of "colonialism" and the saying of "emptying the cage and replacing the bird", and once again carried out political education across the country, this time mainly emphasizing the "Three Represents".

Whether it is "Serve the People", "Black and White Cat", or "Three Represents", they are all part of Lin Yongchang's thought. Because Lin Yongchang came up with too many theories, Wang Qi and Chen Tianhua had no theoretical achievements. He couldn't come up with things like "Harmonious Era" or "Eight Honors and Eight Shames", right?

The alliance has not changed, and still maintains the original intention of "worker-peasant alliance". Although the "Three Represents" has shown signs of being revised, it has not changed in the end. As long as Lin Yongchang is still there, the alliance

It is impossible to change the color.

However, Lin Yongchang also knew that day would eventually come. It could only be postponed, not completely prevented. History always spirals upward, and sometimes it even goes backwards. As long as the overall trend is upward, it's fine. If you can go to the stars and the sea, the upward momentum will surely become better.

In the thousands of years before the emergence of the People's Revolutionary League, humans only lived on Earth. If the era of interstellar travel could be opened, more new things would inevitably appear, and there would be more innovations.

In 1946, the Soyuz launched the first artificial satellite. The 300-kilogram satellite was sent into low-Earth orbit by a rocket and could be used for earth observation, weather broadcasting and weather detection.

Satellite carriers are developed on the basis of missiles. The Alliance can send satellites into low-Earth orbit and then launch intercontinental missiles to any corner of the Earth. The existence of satellites can also provide corrections for missiles and improve their accuracy.

After the People's Revolutionary League launched the satellite attack, the morale of the labor syndicate, which had been restored because of the creation of the atomic bomb, suffered another blow. Although the labor syndicate's media claimed on various occasions that "imperialism is a paper tiger", the leaders and senior generals of the labor syndicate knew that in the arms race, the People's Revolutionary League was in the leading position.

In the years since the end of the war, the economy of the Labor Syndicate has recovered rapidly, and in some aspects its development has even surpassed that of the People's Revolutionary League. However, in terms of cutting-edge military technology, the Labor Syndicate has always lagged behind.

After the Alliance sent the satellite into space, the Syndicate had another area to catch up on. This was not only a matter of morale, but also a military necessity.

The [People's Revolutionary League] controls most of the world's important shipping routes and most of the important resource producing areas. Its economy is running well and it has sufficient funds to carry out various cutting-edge explorations.

The people of the alliance knew that their country was already very powerful, but they did not expect that they had become "imperialist". Some people were not ashamed of this, but proud of it, which was criticized by the central government of the alliance.

"The Human Innovation Alliance exists not for hegemony, not for cruel exploitation at home, not for external aggression and expansion, but to allow people to live a better life and to allow mankind to step out of the cradle of civilization..."

After launching the satellite, the central government of the alliance clearly proposed the concept of "opening up living space for mankind", indicating that the alliance's goal is to explore the vast sea of stars and become greater, rather than retreating to the cradle of human civilization to dominate.

The alliance's statement made many countries feel relieved, but it also made the leaders of various countries very frustrated. They also wanted to explore space, but they didn't have the strength. Launching rockets was very expensive, and developing satellites also cost a lot of money. Apart from the [People's Revolutionary League], only the Industrial Syndicate was still gritting its teeth to catch up, and other countries had been left far behind.

On September 1947, 9, the Soyuz launched the third rocket of the year, sending humans into low-Earth orbit. Comrade Gagarin, an astronaut selected from ace pilots, took the "Vostok 7" spacecraft and orbited the Earth in an orbit with a maximum altitude of 301 kilometers. It took 1 hour and 48 minutes and returned safely at 10:55 am, landing in the village of Smelovka in Saratov Oblast, completing the world's first manned space flight and realizing the desire of mankind to enter space.

Astronauts need to be stronger than pilots. Young Comrade Gagarin went through many selections and stood out from thousands of candidates to become the first human to enter space, engraving his name in human history.

In May of the following year, the Union launched the first component of the space station and began the construction of the Earth's near-Earth orbit space station. This move greatly boosted the morale of the people of the Union, but the trade unions were very shocked and terrified.

The space station can conduct various research on outer space and can also be used as a weapon launch platform. The space station is not fixed, but rotates around the earth. It may fly over Paris at any time.

If a hydrogen bomb fell from the sky, what would we use to resist it?

[People's Revolutionary League] If you want to attack Paris, you don't need to launch a hydrogen bomb from outer space, you can use a medium-range ballistic missile equipped with a nuclear warhead. But launching a nuclear bomb from a space station is even more desperate.

Chapter 960: The Brilliant Light of the Golden Age

[People's Revolutionary League] actively explored outer space in the Fourth Five-Year Plan. In order to explore outer space, the League put forward higher requirements for materials science, electronic technology and mechanical control.

The Alliance's electronic computers have developed to the seventh generation, using transistors instead of vacuum tubes and semiconductor materials, so they can be made smaller, consume less energy, and have more functions.

The function of the electron tube is mainly to amplify the power of audio equipment. It is a signal amplifier with a relatively simple function. The transistor is a multifunctional electronic device that can integrate rectification, signal modulation, power amplification, and voltage stabilization and has a full range of functions.

In terms of usage effects, there is still a huge difference between electron tubes and transistors. Electron tubes have a shorter service life and consume more power during use, making the electrical appliances prone to heat up. Transistors have a longer service life and consume less power, which can reduce the loss of electrical energy and emit less waste heat.

The rapid development of electronic computers has provided impetus for the advancement of science and technology and has also played an important role in the civilian market.

Lin Yongchang does not think there is anything wrong with video games. Instead, he actively promotes the spread of video games around the world.

The chip industry received positive feedback from the development of the civilian market. The design, process and packaging technology continued to develop. By 1948, many places in the Alliance had large arcade machines such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Dino Crisis", and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", as well as small calculators slightly larger than the palm of your hand.

Although the small calculator seemed to have only a few functions and could not calculate very large numbers, it was the highest level of electronic technology and industrial level of the Alliance. The Industrial Group had once found a way to buy a batch of them and used them for various research, including research on the Alliance's electronic technology and chip technology, as well as for solving some calculation problems.

After the miniaturization of electronic computers, it was possible to develop computers for home and personal use, and the dawn of the information superhighway appeared. However, computers are still very expensive, and the equipment used for communication is also expensive. It is unlikely to spread in a short period of time, and can only be used in the military, party and government agencies, and major universities.

The production model in the industrial age is the more, the better and the cheaper. The more produced, the cheaper the price. Manual production is absolutely backward and represents high quality and low price.

As long as the alliance continues to work hard on computers and communication equipment, the price of personal computers and data traffic will soon be reduced to the point where ordinary families can barely use them. Then, computers will enter thousands of households, just like radios and bicycles in the past, and televisions and cars now.

With the continuous development of science and technology, the division of labor in society has become more and more refined. Lin Yongchang can no longer handle all matters, whether in administrative work or in guiding scientific research. He can only focus his limited energy on some key projects, such as the information superhighway and the space exploration program.

The alliance has already achieved fiber optic communication in the laboratory, computer processing of images, and remote control of robots using radio, etc. [People's Revolutionary League] In the past ten years, many technologies that surpass generations have been developed, and now it is time for large-scale application of black technology.

In the first half of 1949, the Soyuz launched its third satellite for geological exploration and meteorological observation in Jiuquan. Two months later, the Soyuz launched components of a space station in Australia.

The subsystem launched into the sky successfully docked with the main cabin, and the space station has initially acquired the function of conducting scientific research.

In the process of exploring space, the Alliance has promoted the emergence and application of many advanced scientific and technological advances, and also discovered many problems. For example, the most pressing problem to be solved in space is not only coldness, but also overheating.

During the process of orbiting the earth, when the spacecraft enters the night arc, it will encounter an extremely low temperature of minus 200 degrees Celsius. Although the thermal insulation suit and heat-proof materials block most of the heat exchange, there are still a small part of exposed equipment in the spacecraft. At the same time, running in a low-temperature environment for a long time will also cause heat loss. Keeping warm is a huge challenge facing the spacecraft.

After entering space, spacecraft also need to consider the problem of overheating.

Many people know that when a spacecraft flies out of the atmosphere and re-enters the atmosphere, the outer shell of the spacecraft will rub violently with the atmosphere, and the temperature can reach thousands of degrees. Therefore, it is necessary to wrap the orbital module and propulsion module of the spacecraft with a thick protective layer.

The outer space is very cold, with a background temperature below minus 270 degrees Celsius. However, because the medium in the outer space is very sparse, the efficiency of heat conduction is very poor, and heat dissipation often relies mainly on thermal radiation.

There are a large number of instruments and equipment in space stations and spacecraft. How should we deal with the heat generated by those instruments and equipment when they are working?

If the heat is not dissipated in time, it is very likely to be damaged due to excessive temperature. Once the equipment of the space station is damaged, it will not only cause huge economic losses, but also may put the lives of the astronauts in the space station in danger.

The Soyuz space station launched into low-Earth orbit is an experimental device. In addition to conducting some scientific research, its main purpose is to study the possibility of human survival in outer space and prepare for future interstellar travel.

It is very dangerous for ordinary people to be in space. Low temperature, high temperature and radiation can all lead to death. Fortunately, the [People's Revolutionary League] has a group of muscular brothers whose physical fitness and physical strength far exceed that of ordinary people. Their resistance to harsh environments is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

In the past, the muscular brothers were the first choice for pilots, armored troops and submarine soldiers, but now they have expanded their business to the space force.

The first human to enter space, Comrade Gagarin was an ace pilot of the Guards, and he was also outstanding among his muscular brothers who were comparable to large animals. He could withstand an overload of 20G and was said to have exceeded the limits of human beings.

The other selected astronauts and reserve astronauts are also from the three ace troops of the [People's Revolutionary League]. The [Guards], [Yulin Army] and [Mongol Cavalry] have always been the most powerful troops in the People's Army. On the road to exploring space, they are also the vanguard of the alliance.

The Fascist Party was finished, Mussolini went to the Arabian desert to enjoy the sunbathing. The Fascist Party in Germany was liquidated, and Huey Long in North America also drew a clear line with the Fascists, but within the Union, racial superiority was inadvertently spread.

According to the research of scientists

, the average IQ of East Asians is higher than that of whites and blacks, this is an obvious thing. Now there are also examples of strength and physical fitness that are better than whites and blacks, and there are still a lot of them. Gagarin is Russian, with Mongolian ancestry, and Mongolians are part of the Chinese.........

According to fascist theory, shouldn't both blacks and whites be cleared out to make room for the more superior races?

The Central Committee of the Union has spent a lot of effort to suppress the theory of racial superiority. No matter what you say, genocide and ethnic cleansing are not correct. Different people have different innate conditions, but what is more important is the acquired learning and growth environment, which is the most important external factor in shaping a person.

Chapter 961 Artificial Sun

Time soon came to 1950, the last year of the Golden Age. Lin Yongchang handed over most of the matters to the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, while he himself focused on the development of science and technology and kept up with the various secret research projects of the alliance.

With the unstinting investment of the central government of the alliance and the follow-up assistance of Lin Yongchang, the scientific research team of the People's Revolutionary League overcame one difficulty after another, using strong magnetic fields to confine ultra-high temperature plasma and achieve the goal of nuclear fusion.

This is an important step on the road to artificially controlled nuclear fusion. As long as the power supply is cut off and the input of nuclear materials is stopped, the strong magnetic field with an intensity of 80 times that of the earth's magnetic field will disappear, and nuclear fusion will terminate.

The problem now is that using high voltage current to create a strong magnetic field consumes energy, which is greater than the energy released by the controlled nuclear fusion. If the input energy is greater than the output energy, then this experimental device will have no practical value except for its scientific research significance.

The scientists involved in the research on nuclear fusion power generation are very happy because of the phased victory. They believe that they have solved the problem of whether or not it exists and have completed the step from 0 to 1.

The next thing to do is to improve it, reduce consumption, increase power, and improve it generation by generation until it can be commercialized.

When the train first appeared, it was not as fast as a horse-drawn carriage and often broke down. Many people thought that the train was completely unnecessary. However, the train soon showed its unparalleled strength, leaving horse-drawn carriages far behind and becoming the main mode of land transportation. Today, railways have been associated with power and strength, and no one compares trains with horse-drawn carriages anymore.

Because of the Alliance's continuous progress in scientific theory and engineering technology over the past few decades, many people have become overly optimistic, believing that scientific and technological progress will continue, that humans will continue to deepen their understanding of the world, and will overcome any difficulties that stand in their way.

In this optimistic mood, the people involved in the project believe that the biggest difficulty has been overcome, and what remains is just some repairs. Soon, controlled nuclear fusion will bring clean, convenient and cheap energy to mankind.

But Lin Yongchang knew that things were not that simple. The eternal fifty years was not just talk. After the ignition was successful, there were two major difficulties. One was how to increase the strength of the magnetic field confinement. The magnetic field confinement must be strong enough to make the nuclear fusion reaction in the tokamak longer. According to the data, the reaction temperature of the nuclear fusion experiment was only 5000 to million degrees, and the plasma duration was only seconds.

According to the calculated data, the nuclear fusion power generation stage needs to reach a high temperature of 100 million to 500 million degrees, and the confinement time will take about five minutes. Therefore, the required confinement magnetic field strength needs to be doubled compared to the experiment.

If it is only enhanced by 180% or %, it can be broken through by force using the "brick-flying force" trick, but the magnetic field strength required now is million times that of the earth's magnetic field. This places too high demands on materials science, and requires finding superconductors with better performance that can withstand extremely strong currents.

Another difficulty is the treatment of impurities produced by nuclear fusion. The existing divertor can only be barely usable. Under more extreme conditions, it is not possible to work normally and ensure that it can work normally for at least five minutes, which is also a huge problem.

In addition to removing impurities, the divertor also removes "helium ash". Helium ash is defined as a product of nuclear fusion reaction, which is high-energy particles at the boundary of the nuclear fusion tokamak. In order to reduce the damage to the container caused by these particles that exceed the magnetic confinement capacity, this is the role of the divertor baffle.

The divertor is only a nuclear fusion boundary cleaner and does not remove impurities inside the plasma very well. The plasma will fail due to the increase of internal impurities.

Lin Yongchang is very clear that if he does not cheat, these two major problems will plague generations of people and trap them in the vicious circle of "eternal fifty years".

But now that I have the cheat and have accumulated a lot of points, I must use them in the most critical place. And now is the most critical time.

The 9XXX team led by Lin Yongchang took out a new magnetic field confinement device, new materials, and more sophisticated functional components. After the first successful ignition, they quickly conducted a second ignition experiment. This time, the reaction time of nuclear fusion in a strong magnetic field was extended tenfold to 1756 seconds, reaching the point where the output energy exceeded the input energy. However, there is still a long way to go before the ultimate goal of stable operation and continuous power generation is achieved.

distance.

We can almost see the silhouette of "nuclear fusion power generation". It seems that as long as we reach out, we can achieve the long-dreamed-of beautiful vision. However, just because of this one step, the plan still failed.

It was already October 1950. Just after the National Day military parade, Lin Yongchang rushed back to the secret base in Dunhuang and carried out the final work with the alliance's top scientists and engineers.

The super-large electronic computer deep in the base is roaring constantly. The super-large computer named "Shenwei-Taihu Light" is a national treasure, which can perform up to 9 million operations per second. In this era, it can be regarded as a "black technology".

In order to drive this huge computer, the alliance built several power stations nearby. Of course, a large part of the electricity was also used in the "nuclear fusion power generation plan".

The Sunway-TaihuLight calculated day and night, greatly increasing the speed of scientific research. After the second experimental reactor was successfully ignited and ran safely for more than 1700 seconds, the alliance built the third nuclear fusion reactor in just over two months.

All difficulties have been overcome and all advanced technologies have been launched. Although some aspects are not perfect, they have reached the limit of the current technological level. At this point in time, it is impossible to do better.

The alliance has invested a huge amount of resources, brought together the best scientists and engineers in the country, and hundreds of thousands of people have worked hard for this project. They may not know where the projects they research and the equipment they build will be used, but they have also made a contribution to the "nuclear fusion power generation" plan.

On December 1950, 12, the Alliance began its third attempt to "ignite the sun." Electric current was input, an unprecedented magnetic field was generated, and lasers were injected, and the artificial sun was successfully lit.

Then it ran smoothly for three hours.
