Technological Supremacy Chapter 492: Target stellarator! (4600 words)
Secret net.
As the reading progressed, Luo Jia gradually gained a preliminary understanding of the stars. Unlike the cosmic worlds imagined in most science fiction works, the basis for the existence of groups in the universe is not countries, but civilizations.
Civilization is a concept higher than a country. A country is a group of people, and civilization is more picky about people. It must be a group of people with common cultural beliefs, common values, and common historical heritage gathered together to be called It is civilization.
"Just like the current earth, it is not so much a dispute between China and the United States as a dispute between two different civilizations, the East and the West. People living among the stars may have long realized that the ideology of the country is too narrow. Lack of cohesion, so the highest pursuit is to build civilization. If one day, we also go to the stars, it should be in the form of earth civilization." Luo Jia thought quickly in his heart.
As for the history of the stars, it seems a bit confusing. The major civilizations were born in the first era, that is, the Germinal Era, and developed and grew stronger in the Brilliant Era. Because the mechanical civilization was too powerful, the War Era came. All civilizations joined forces. The defeat in the Cliff Star County completely defeated the mechanical civilization.
It is said that when the former overlord fell, the major civilizations should usher in development and growth, but the fact is exactly the opposite. After the fall of the mechanical civilization, the major civilizations fell into endless wars and destruction, and the stars were dim. The core technology of the world has been wiped out, and other civilizations have gradually declined, so the Fourth Era is called the era of civilization annihilation.
Now is the fifth era, and it is also a new era in the mouth of historians. The major civilizations have gradually stabilized, new trade and routes have been opened up, and civilizations have re-expanded outwards after experiencing decline.
唰~
Luo Jia, who was reading countless messages, suddenly heard a voice. He followed the voice and found that someone had entered the secret net, and it was Hei Jian who came.
Luo Jia didn't take the initiative to say hello to Hei Jian, maintaining his high-end image as a navigator, pretending to be nonchalant.
When Hei Jian saw Luo Jia startled suddenly, surprise appeared on his face, he walked a few steps forward, and greeted Luo Jia very respectfully.
"Mr. Luo Jia!"
Luo Jia turned his head, glanced at Hei Jian, and said lightly, "Oh, so it was you."
"What a coincidence, I was planning to store your reward on the message wall, but I didn't expect to meet you." Hei Jian said.
Fusion technology has arrived!
Luo Jia thought excitedly, "With a little guidance on the channel, you can get the history of energy civilization and controllable fusion technology. This kind of transaction is too exciting. The transmission of the golden dome is very slow, and what kind of knowledge can be conveyed? It’s not under my control, the secret network is more free to trade, as long as I have enough resources, I can exchange a lot of things here.”
Luo Jia was pleasantly surprised, but said calmly on the surface: "So, you have already passed the gravel belt of the full moon galaxy?"
"Yeah!" Heijian nodded heavily and said, "Passed, the fleet is now parked on the outskirts of the Forgotten Galaxy."
"The Forgotten galaxy on the border of the two star counties of Stranglethorn Vale and Venal?" Luo Jia rubbed his chin and said to himself: "It's not very safe there, you'd better not stay too long, you must know that Forgotten The reason why the galaxy got its name is because there are many dangers in the galaxy, few ships dare to go deep, everyone walks around, and over time, it is gradually forgotten.”
These are the original words on the star map, spoken by Luo Jia, who immediately stunned Hei Jian.
"As expected of a top professional! Mr. Luo Jia must be the most powerful navigator among the stars, he knows everything!" Hei Jian thought to himself.
Looking at Luo Jia with eyes full of awe, Hei Jian swallowed a mouthful of spit, frowned and said: "To tell you the truth, the mission I got was to go deep into the Forgotten Galaxy and find a space station that was destroyed in the Forgotten Galaxy , and bring back something very important to us from the ruins.”
"Student Heijian, your situation is very dangerous. The person who asked you to enter the Forgotten Galaxy to search for it probably has no good intentions." Luo Jia was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, "The danger level of the Forgotten Galaxy has reached three. It's easy to get in, but hard to get out."
With a bit of mystery, Luo Jia said lightly: "I wish you good luck."
A little thump~
After saying this, Hei Jian felt his heart sink suddenly, and his face was cloudy and uncertain.
"If possible, I hope you can guide me, and I will pay for it!" Hei Jian said eagerly with a sincere expression.
"It's a very wise decision. Only if you are alive, can I continuously obtain information and knowledge from the secret network, so student Hei Jian, you must not die." Luo Jia seemed to be thinking a little bit.
No matter how strong the secret network is, there must be talented people with value. If Luo Jia is left alone in the secret network, with no transactions and no information, it will be terrible, so Luo Jia actually hopes that the secret network can gradually Prosper, so as to maximize your own interests.
"Yes." Luo Jia remained indifferent on the surface, and nodded slightly.
"You agreed!?" Hei Jian was overjoyed, "I don't know what kind of reward you want this time?"
Luo Jia thought for a while, "As far as I know, you are a fleet commander?"
"Yes, I graduated from the Command Academy, specializing in ship maneuvering, fleet command, space positioning, space navigation, danger avoidance, frequency analysis, etc." Long strings of obscure professional names.
"You can exchange your professional knowledge." Luo Jia said solemnly.
Hei Jian was slightly taken aback, Luo Jia's current behavior was like running to the West Point Military Academy in North America to ask for his textbooks.
Under normal circumstances, people will definitely not give it. After all, if the commander's study materials and details are found out by others, it is definitely not a good thing for any civilization. The first thing Heijian enrolls is to swear in public. Guard the lore and secrets of the Academy.
"No problem."
But between staying alive and keeping secrets, Hei Jian chose the former without hesitation. After all, for most people, living is more important. As for secrets, dead people have no secrets.
"Pay half first, and pay the other half when you get out of the Forgotten Galaxy alive." Luo Jia said.
"No need, I can pay the full amount right away, you are a great leader, I absolutely respect and trust you." Hei Jian said very sincerely.
"Young man, you really have vision." Luo Jia thought to herself.
It just so happened that Hei Jian carried a full set of books of the Command Academy with him so that he could read them at any time during the voyage. He saved the new chronicle of energy civilization, controllable fusion data and blueprints, and the full set of textbooks of the Command Academy on the secret network at one time. .
"This is the path marker for entering the Forgotten Galaxy. If you still want to enter the star area below the galaxy, you'd better consult with him first, and don't go there rashly." Luo Jia confessed to Heijian and told him some fixed markers .
Each galaxy contains many star regions. Luo Jia intends to let Black Sword go to the Forgotten Galaxy first, and then use drones and radar equipment to conduct reconnaissance. If any star region is found to be suspicious, he will come to ask himself for details. The Oblivion Galaxy is huge.
Hei Jian calculated in his mind the time it would take to enter the Forgotten Galaxy and the initial exploration, and then made an appointment with Luo Jia to meet at the secret net in forty-eight hours.
…
After completing the transaction, Luo Jia immediately returned from the secret net, closed his eyes and lay down on the sofa. Sure enough, several new folders appeared in his mind. Transaction proceeds.
"It can be regarded as a supplement to the Golden Dome's knowledge system. After all, the Golden Dome is also a partial student. It is a mess in mechanics, but it has no accumulation of life sciences, botany, and space science."
"Compared to the passive acceptance of the golden dome, the secret network transaction is more proactive, and can be exchanged for urgently needed information. Unfortunately, I haven't met Lan Yu these few times. It would be great if I had the opportunity to make a deal with him. Yu comes from plant civilization, and I don't know if plant civilization has knowledge about metabolism control, the life science department of the Wen family brothers seems to be a bit difficult recently."
After thinking wildly for a while, Luo Jia withdrew her thoughts and began to study furiously.
The information in the brain cannot be extracted directly, so Luo Jia is like a knowledge transfer station. If Shen Lang wants to learn fleet command, Luo Jia must first learn the fleet command in his mind, and then teach it to Shen Lang.
The same is true for other disciplines. You must first understand and integrate them before you can lead the tough guy team to carry out scientific research. This has been the case for seven years.
Everyone said that Luo Jia is an all-rounder, which is rare in the world.
But people in the world don't know that most of the time, Luo Jia is actually forced.
"It turns out that it can still be like this!"
"As expected of an energy civilization, this design should be prepared for high-power laser cannons?"
"The reason why civilization becomes civilization must have its own advantages. The control technology of energy civilization is really amazing."
Luo Jia quickly entered a state of selfless learning, and the controllable fusion plan of the energy civilization gave him a feeling of enlightenment.
…
Ding Dong~
At three o'clock in the morning, Dr. Xie Tian heard a crisp notification sound. He drank the coffee in his cup and picked up his mobile phone to watch. Only when important work emails arrived, the mobile phone would make a sound.
"It's Boss Luo, he is really a night owl, after a while, it will be dawn."
Dr. Xie Tian muttered. When he opened the email, he saw Luo Jia's usual opening words.
"Dr. Xie, I have an idea and I want to discuss it with you."
Whenever Luo Jia wants to point out the way forward for his subordinates, he always starts like this, maybe it is an email, or maybe it is calling the person in charge to the office to make side comments. Anyway, Luo Jia always has a way to guide the research and development in the right direction. direction.
"Stellar!"
Seeing the content of the email, Xie Tian immediately exclaimed. As we all know, there are not many options for achieving controllable fusion. At present, the more realistic solutions are concentrated in the tokamak. Including Xingchen Technology, the whole world is focusing on this set of plans.
However, Luo Jia suddenly sent an email, proposing an unpopular stellarator plan.
So far, there are two difficulties in controllable fusion. One is the fusion reaction. Xingchen Technology plans to establish a base on the moon and send a robot mining team to mine helium-3 on the moon at a low cost, and then use deuterium and helium-3 Reaction, when the time is right, Star Technology will also launch deuterium-tritium reaction, deuterium-lithium reaction and so on.
In short, there is no problem with fusion technology. The real trouble is control. If the reaction between deuterium and helium three is to release the beast, humans need a strong cage to lock the beast and prevent it from causing harm.
Tokamak is a kind of plasma cage. If this technology is to be successful, it must first get out high-temperature and high-current plasma.
The stellarator is like a twisted cannabis flower, composed of layers of irregular superconducting coils. Compared to a tokamak, it is directly a cage.
From a technical point of view, the tokamak has a circular current to generate a poloidal magnetic field. The stellarator does not need a circular current, and the superconducting coil itself generates a spiral magnetic field.
In order to maintain the current, the tokamak needs to use ohmic induction and various non-inductive methods to drive the circular current, including but not limited to neutral beam injection, low clutter, etc. The stellarator does not need the circular current, so Unrestricted.
In any case, from the perspective of technology and indicators, the stellarator is far ahead of the tokamak, but it also has a fatal problem. Because the magnetic field generated by the stellarator is not toroidally symmetrical, the magnetic induction intensity oscillates periodically. There is one more spiral corrugation than the tokamak, and the actual operating efficiency is extremely poor. In recent years, the scientific research community has given up the stellarator scheme and turned to the tokamak in an all-round way.
How one-sided?
In the past 30 years, countless tokamak research devices have been built around the world, but only one stellarator has been built. The 7W-X project was made by the Germans who are known for their brains. All other countries have stopped doing this. It's a joke.
"My God! Mr. Luo wants to solve the problem of spiral corrugation! Also solve the problem of non-circular asymmetry of the magnetic field!?"
"If these two problems are really solved, the stellarator will be successful, and the global scientific research community spends billions of dollars on tokamak research. If one counts as one, it will be abolished!"
Xie Tian jumped up from his chair excitedly. If it wasn't for the words "Top Secret" written on the email, he even wanted to open the window and announce it to the world.
The goal of Star Technology is not a tokamak, but a stellarator!
…
Energy Civilization, Western Theater.
After locking the door, Major General Rafaty opened the safe and took out a stack of documents. The front of the volume was impressively printed with the badge of Investigation Six and the words "Top Secret".
Sit down, turn on the desk lamp, Major General Rafaty read the file, and the dusty records for many years appeared in front of his eyes. Pictures, videos, words, and thrilling scenes appeared in his mind like a movie.
As we all know, during the massive war with the mechanical civilization, the energy civilization lost a mobile super space station, the Starlock, in the Forgotten Galaxy, which was one of the worst losses in their history.
Mobile space station, nicknamed moving castle, although the energy civilization is not famous for its construction, their mobile space station is far inferior to the mechanical civilization in terms of quantity and quality, but the star lock is equipped with the most powerful equipment among the stars at that time. The energy shield has a total power of 170 billion standard units.
In order to maintain such an astonishing energy shield, the Starlock used a precious energy core, which was one of their only five energy cores, and its value was immeasurable.
Bai Chuan, Pai Pai, Han Shui, Hong Lian, Mo Xing, the one that was lost along with the Xingsuo, was exactly Mo Xing among the five guardian cores. According to legend, Mo Xing was completely black, but when there was a silver star in the center Hide and show.
After the war, the headquarters sent people to the Forgotten Galaxy ~IndoMTL.com~ several times to try to retrieve the ink star, but due to the complex environment of the Forgotten Galaxy and the dangers, it ended in failure. , none came back, not one.
The files in the hands of General Rafaty are the information of the fleet sent to the forgotten galaxy, and the sighting reports they sent back before they disappeared. The report mentioned many times that there seemed to be black shadows hovering around the fleet. However, due to severe interference, electronic facilities cannot work normally, so it is not clear whether they are being tracked
Those experienced captains mentioned in the voyage logs that from the moment they entered the Forgotten Galaxy, they felt creepy, as if they were always being watched by invisible eyes.
Lafatty closed the file, the captain has far superior physical fitness, developed nervous and sensory systems, and has a strong anticipation of danger. Their weird feeling about the Forgotten Galaxy is probably true. of.
Finding the photo of Mo Xing, Lafaty sent it to Heijian through the military channel, but did not tell him that the dark stone was one of the five guardian cores of energy civilization. With Heijian's identity and experience, he did not know It is possible to know the secret, and no one in the entire exploration fleet knows.
Soon, the system showed that Black Sword had confirmed the search mission, and Lafaty turned to leave without saying a word, his face still grim.
