Chapter 121 The Horn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution 4400 words(1/2)
Seeing Zhang Ran and others coming here, the crowd gave up a team on their own.
"Congratulations, congratulations to everyone, and to everyone in Kunlun Mountain." Zhang Ran first expressed his sincere congratulations to all the professors, "and thank the Oriental Laboratory and the major laboratories for their hard work and contributions. Your names and achievements will be remembered by history!"
"No matter how much praise is, it is impossible to describe this achievement."
"But Professor Fang Tianye, that...the press conference may be a little later, so you'd better change your clothes...ahem."
"My friends of the journalist have also waited for a while. After finally having a TV, they have to be glamorous and beautiful."
This passage made the crowd burst into laughter.
Indeed, those young doctors hadn't shaved for a month and were almost bearded. Those middle-aged professors had little hair and greasy heads, and their brightness could reflect the shadow of others!
How do you get on TV like this?
There were also some lesbians with messy hair, as if they hadn't washed their hair for a long time. They took out their cell phones and took photos of their haggard faces. They all showed embarrassed smiles and ran away in a flash, "Half an hour! Half an hour is done!"
Zhang Ran smiled and entered the laboratory. The huge Tokamak device was still operating. This behemoth may have a height of ten floors and cover an area of 7,000 square meters. It is just a football field, which can just fit this super machine.
The indoor temperature is about 35 degrees Celsius, which is very stuffy.
The Oriental Laboratory is located on the edge of Shelter 2, and has installed huge radiation sails nearby to release the heat generated by the nuclear fusion reactor.
Oh, by the way, there are still a lot of ice cubes nearby. The melting of ice cubes requires huge amounts of energy, which is just placed here to help dissipate heat, and at the same time dissolve the ice cubes.
In the most central office, I found the girl Qiuyue who was wiping her tears.
Her expression was very complicated and haggard, with the joy of achieving great achievements, the emptiness after completing her goals, and the white mist was still emitting, giving people a feeling of being dumb.
Loneliness is a carnival for one person, and carnival is a loneliness for a group of people. At this time, she felt that she was a little out of place with the surrounding environment.
The spiritual sustenance that originally supported my work disappeared suddenly, as if I had been taken away, and I just sat there blankly.
Even Zhang Ran and others knocked on the door and entered the office without any response.
She seemed to be dead due to excessive emotional fluctuations...
"Uh...what should we do now?"
Zhang Ran walked to Lin Qiuyue and waved his hand. The number one worker who made money for him was still sitting in his seat like a robot, ignoring them.
This situation is not the first time that this situation has happened... When the earth disappeared, Lin Qiuyue suffered from excessive emotional fluctuations, which led to a hidden crash.
"I can only send her back and let her sleep... I should get better after a sleep, which is equivalent to restarting the computer." Zero was still eating his lollipop.
There was no choice but to pick up the dead Qiuyue girl and send her back to the small room.
Anyway, this is not the first time I have been hugging it, so I feel at ease!
Qiuyue's cute look is actually more cute than her normal appearance.
Now that he has earned 3,000 yuan, Zhang Ran is thinking about whether he should give some tips to the number one worker...
This big money was earned by the workers
But if you think about it carefully, let’s forget it. The worker in Lin is really haggard and needs to recover his energy. After the reward, she has to burst into tears again, and she is a little afraid of her sudden death.
Moreover... the simple material reward can no longer satisfy Zhang Ran's pampering heart!
He is a little fluttering now, with money in his pocket and can pretend that he is a big dog.
Not right, he was originally the biggest big dog owner in human history!
4200 points of creation energy, plus [the creation ability of subspace is improved], this sentence is very important, not empty talk!
Zhang Ran made a simple attempt and the increase was about 5 times that of the original. The original creation energy could create 100 million tons of steel, but now it is 500 million tons.
4200 points of creation energy are equivalent to the original 21000 points!
I had food in my hand and was not panicked. I had such a huge number at once. Coupled with the mothership being developed, the active and enthusiastic people, and the alien life cub being boiled in the water, I was considered a prisoner... Zhang Ran really felt the pleasure of the overlord of the Galaxy.
Holding the girl Qiuyue, she slipped out from the back door of Oriental Laboratory.
As soon as she was put on the bed, the girl woke up from that confused state.
"District... Your Highness!" She seemed to notice her "crash" just now, and was brought over all the way, and a red glow suddenly appeared on her face.
"Ahem...congratulations, no one will question your ability anymore." Zhang Ran sat opposite her, looking as if nothing had happened, "But you should have a good rest. I just came to your office and you fainted."
Did that faint...
That's a quarrel between parallel thinking!
"There is still a lot of work to be done next... there are still many details that need to be optimized, and the power generation cost needs to be reduced." Lin Qiuyue wiped her eyes, and the red glow on her face faded: "The manufacturing cost of Tokamak also needs to be reduced. If there is only one 300 creative energy, we can't afford it."
Zhang Ran hurriedly asked: "How much fund do you think it is necessary to build a demonstration reactor that can generate stable power? Well, the important thing is stability. I will help you to create the first demonstration reactor."
"It shouldn't be too expensive. Many R&D expenses are the continuous replacement of materials, energy expenses, and the expenses of starting over after taking wrong detours again and again."
Zhang Ran sighed, it was true that the 350-year-old energy expenditure was not a one-time expenditure, but a long-term, little by little expenditure.
So he himself was also very busy with this matter. Every week, he had to help create a lot of things.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, from 0 to 1, it is a huge breakthrough and a huge step that lasts for a time.
From 1 to the 100 or even 1000 behind, it just needs continuous optimization...
The first atomic bomb was manufactured at 2 billion US dollars. The project focused on the best nuclear scientists in Western countries at that time and mobilized more than 100,000 people to participate in the project. At that time, the GDP of Meika was only 10 to 20 billion yuan per year. Many people even doubt whether the principles of the atomic bomb were real and reliable.
But what about now?
The cost of the atomic bomb has been reduced to tens of millions of yuan!
Even college graduates can understand the basic principles of the atomic bomb.
Therefore, the cost of controlled nuclear fusion can also continue to decline. As long as the road is pointed out, its room for improvement will be opened.
Zhang Ran now holds 4,200, which is equivalent to the huge sum of 21,000 in the past, so he naturally wants to solve the energy problem as soon as possible.
However, Zhang Ran stopped the other party from thinking that he wanted to continue to explode: "It must not work today. Such big news can boost morale of all mankind and should not be concealed."
"You either have a good sleep here or attend a press conference and interpret all kinds of questions."
Qiuyue was stunned when she heard the two terms "reporter". She hated reporters the most. This group of people would waste a lot of their time!
But she soon realized that there was no way to refuse reporters' questions, and it was even more impossible to sleep in a small room. If she, the main person in charge, slept, what else would she do?
"Don't worry. You just need to introduce some results casually and then you can rest aside. I'll cover you up."
"Professor Fang, Professor Fu and others will introduce the huge changes brought about by nuclear fusion."
As soon as he heard that it was a bit like covering up, Lin Qiuyue immediately agreed.
After all, she is really tired...
...
The clarion call of the Fourth Industrial Revolution was officially sounded overnight!
The first industrial revolution, the steam revolution, was marked by Watt's improvement of the steam engine. From then on, large machine production replaced handicraft factories.
The second industrial revolution, the electrical revolution, and the widespread application of electrical appliances greatly promoted the development of social productivity.
The third industrial revolution, the information revolution, the emergence of electronic computers, and information technology has brought major changes in all aspects of human daily life, such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, and use.
And now, it's the fourth time...
From now on, as long as we talk about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, mankind will think of today and this day of origin!
"The emergence of controlled nuclear fusion technology has made energy problems no longer a problem, and we no longer have to worry about energy. What does this mean?"
"It means that all our heavy industrial plants can be restarted and smelted the reserved ore in the warehouse and meteorites of poor quality!"
"Our chip manufacturing plan can be restarted, and as the power costs drop, the manufacturing costs of all industrial products will drop significantly."
"We can also use great efforts to achieve miracles to accomplish something that we could not imagine in the past."
The expert spoke more and more inspiringly in front of the camera, and the audience listened very seriously.
Except for Lin Qiuyue leaning against the side and sleeping secretly, even Zhang Ran's eyes widened, sitting in the position without blinking, listening carefully.
"Let me give a simple example, for example, smelting steel."
"In the past, one ton of steel smelting was able to produce 0.4 tons of iron with a ton of ore in a relatively good quality. This was a relatively economical approach."
"In addition, a large amount of steel slag will be generated, and there are too many impurities such as silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, etc. inside, and it cannot be used well."
"Ores with poor quality and low iron content may even lead to losses."
"But now, we can use massive amounts of energy to separate all the elements! We can refine all the iron elements and refine a large amount of 0.5 tons of iron."
"Use silicon elements to make crystals; use phosphorus elements to make fertilizers; use sulfur elements to make drugs; use aluminum elements to extract aluminum ingots to achieve better material circulation!"
"We can directly produce organic matter without relying on oil and can directly synthesize methane using the carbon dioxide industry. In the past, it was not cost-effective from the economic level, and the production of organic matter required the use of life."
"But now we can use industrial to synthesize chemical raw materials such as methane, ethylene in large quantities, and then create more organic materials."
"We can produce more spacecraft at low cost! As we all know, a spacecraft is very expensive, but if the raw materials become cheaper, the spacecraft will be reduced by 50%, or even more!"
"We can also develop a nuclear fusion engine to replace the original nuclear fission engine. As we all know, the element used in nuclear fusion is hydrogen, which is the most element in the universe. Nuclear fission requires the use of radioactive elements. Radioactive elements are rare in the universe and are products that cannot be reproduced."
"Many of our experiments and many medical technologies require radioactive elements, so that they can play their due and greater value is the path we should take."
"This is the fundamental change brought about by infinite energy!"
