Chapter 240: Chapter 229: The Giant Beast Appears! (8000 words)

It automatically opened, and He Mengyao walked over, the armor closed, initiating AI control mode.

"Goodbye, everyone!" He Xingzhou said and then, along with He Mengyao, turned into two meteors, disappearing into the sky.

"They really were meteors!" Shen Beibei murmured while looking up.

"Dr. He is even more handsome in person than online!" Cao Ya said excitedly.

"I have a photo with Dr. He!!! I need to call my mom to tell her!" Yao Liwen immediately called her mom.

"Who would have thought we would have a chance to see Dr. He!" Other classmates were still reminiscing about the recent event.

The news of He Xingzhou’s appearance at Jiangcheng University spread online.

As for the news that his sister was He Mengyao, it didn’t get reported.

"Mengyao, are you sure you don’t want me to arrange anything, and work by yourself!" On the way, He Xingzhou discussed work issues with He Mengyao.

"Of course! Don’t underestimate me, okay!" He Mengyao said, "I also have genius genes!"

"Alright then, if you have any problems, find your Sister Zhilan; she can solve them," He Xingzhou instructed.

"Uh-huh."

He Mengyao’s military enlistment after graduation was basically settled, and He Xingzhou continued with the second thing.

He was to present the Tower Science Award, which had been held twice, but as the founder, He Xingzhou had not been able to attend due to the Zerg invasion.

Most of the recipients were executors of the Xuanwu Plan, who had easier access to cutting-edge science and made progress through it.

For instance, his junior, Jiang Chan, won the first Tower Physiology Award for her brainwave synchronization technology. This technology allowed humanity to avoid the Zerg’s mental interference and prevented organizations like the Ora Association from spreading, making it immensely significant.

After attending the award ceremony, he went home to visit his parents. He needed to handle all these matters before fully immersing himself in the third stage of the Xuanwu Plan, to confront the Zerg head-on on Blue Star!

At home, after several Zerg wars, He Qihang and Jiang Manrong had become very calm.

"As long as you do your own work well, that is the greatest filial piety to us!" He Qihang said, "Our He family produces someone like you, which brings glory to our ancestors!"

"That’s true," Jiang Manrong said, "but even though you’re busy, you should also consider your lifelong matters, right?"

"You’re almost thirty already!"

He Xingzhou couldn’t believe that even as the Xuanwu Executive Officer, he was still being pressured about marriage.

He said helplessly, "Mom, you know how busy I am right now."

"I know you’re busy, but you can look for someone familiar!" Jiang Manrong suggested, "I think that Xu Zhilan is pretty good, she’s beautiful and capable. You know her well, next time bring her home..."

"Your mom is right on this; you should also take some time to think about this matter!" He Qihang joined in.

He Xingzhou was bombarded for several hours before he could leave after dinner.

At the Tower Research Institute, upon hearing this, Xu Zhilan laughed heartily. She covered her mouth and said, "Who would have thought the famous Dr. He would have moments of fleeing in disarray."

"You’re still laughing; if there’s no other way, I’ll just bring you home!" He Xingzhou joked.

"Huh?" Xu Zhilan was stunned, then slightly blushed but pretended to be generous, saying, "Sure, solving Dr. He’s single problem counts as contributing to the Xuanwu Plan!"

"Not bad, quite aware!" He Xingzhou joked.

After a brief chat, Xu Zhilan asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Of course, controlled nuclear fusion!" He Xingzhou responded without hesitation, "Without controlled nuclear fusion, any planetary fortress or advanced weapon is just empty talk!"

"The weapons we can make with nuclear fission energy are basically it! Besides, after several years of the Xuanwu Plan, our energy is getting tight."

In recent years, unable to procure resources from overseas, and with industrial production ongoing, energy has always been tight.

One more thing He Xingzhou didn’t mention, several nuclear power plants along the Steel Great Wall line have been built, and the nano-crystal photovoltaic power stations have been rolled out nationwide, but there’s not much energy available for his Quantum Light Computer.

This energy had to be provided for industrial manufacturing.

To unlock stronger technology, controlled nuclear fusion technology must be advanced!

"I’ll contact them now!" Xu Zhilan, familiar with the process, immediately contacted the team responsible for tackling controlled nuclear fusion, organizing personnel and technical information for He Xingzhou when he decided.

"Alright!" After she left, He Xingzhou summoned the Quantum Light Computer and found the corresponding technology tree.

"There are several ways to achieve controlled nuclear fusion."

"Magnetic confinement controlled nuclear fusion requires unlocking with three million energy units."

"Inertial confinement controlled nuclear fusion requires unlocking with five million energy units."

"Gravitational confinement controlled nuclear fusion requires unlocking with one hundred billion energy units."

The gravitational confinement mentioned here refers to a method similar to a constant star, using gravity to produce and confine nuclear fusion.

There are also various types of nuclear fusion devices, such as cold fusion devices, hot fusion devices, and biological nuclear fusion technology.

"Biological nuclear fusion technology uses biological molecules to build fusion reactions, providing energy and power for biological organs." Looking at the technology description, He Xingzhou thought to himself, "This should be the nuclear energy utilization method used by those Nuclear Giant Beasts!"

Unlocking this would require unlocking multiple levels of biotechnology, costing over a hundred million energy units, so He Xingzhou simply gave up.
