Chapter 241: Chapter 229: The Giant Beast Appears! (8000 words)_3

Biotechnology, they are researching it and making breakthroughs, learning from the Zerg.

In recent years, they have studied the Zerg and already acquired numerous biotechnologies.

For example, the cancer treatment method previously announced by Barry, Shen Zhou has also achieved a breakthrough. Additionally, the technology for cloning human organs outside the body, allowing organs to be cloned externally and transplanted into humans.

They are now researching human cell regeneration technology and have made some progress.

If this technology breaks through, even if soldiers lose limbs such as arms and legs, they can regrow them through cell regeneration technology!

He Xingzhou currently does not have the energy to manage these technological developments, as his primary focus is still on military technology!

"Spend sixty million energy units to unlock magnetic confinement controllable nuclear fusion technology; Tokamak device manufacturing technology; nuclear fusion engine technology..."

He Xingzhou immediately began learning this knowledge.

...

Luyang, Academy of Sciences Atomic Energy Research Institute, He Xingzhou arrived here.

Here lies Shen Zhou’s first controllable nuclear fusion technology research project — the Eastern Super Ring, also known as the so-called artificial small sun.

It is a magnetic confinement nuclear fusion Tokamak device, whose research began before the Catastrophe Era.

After the Catastrophe, due to breakthroughs in room temperature superconducting materials, improvements in electromagnetic control technology, etc., this controllable nuclear fusion reactor has evolved several generations and can now achieve a nuclear fusion reaction with a Q value (energy gain effect) greater than twenty.

This would surely have shocked the world in the past.

But now, in this world, it will only alarm the Zerg!

The head of the fusion research group, Academician Duan Bingzhen, along with He Xingzhou, finished reviewing the current Tokamak nuclear fusion device.

"What opinions does Dr. He have?" Duan Bingzhen inquired.

He Xingzhou raised three fingers and said, "There are mainly three: first, it’s too large!"

"This nuclear fusion device is larger than a nuclear power plant. How can it be practical for high-level weapons?"

Duan Bingzhen nodded and said, "The size is indeed too large, and currently, we can only use such a large device to enhance the magnetic confinement and temperature control capability; otherwise, we cannot confine the nuclear fusion reaction."

"It can be modified!" He Xingzhou stated directly, "Change the ring-shaped Tokamak device to a spherical Tokamak device. Use a spherical magnetic field to enhance the constraint!"

The people nearby immediately noted it down, as He Xingzhou’s opinions weren’t spoken lightly but were already backed by some designs and ideas.

"Second, the energy output is too low; this output power is not even sufficient for a nuclear power plant!" He Xingzhou said.

Another researcher said, "This is because of insufficient temperature. The nuclear fusion reaction requires a plasma generation at a temperature of one hundred million degrees Celsius, and our laser ignition device does not reach that temperature."

"Yes, if there is a laser ignition device at a temperature of one hundred million degrees Celsius, then we could make an atomic beam laser device!" He Xingzhou said, isn’t that the ability of the deep-sea giant beast in the Mariana Trench?

"We will discuss this later."

"Third," he continued, "the confinement time of nuclear fusion is too short! Furthermore, the control strength is low! Controllable nuclear fusion, the key is in control. The reaction time must be long enough to achieve more energy output!"

"We have a solution for control," said Duan Bingzhen, "manufacture a cylindrical nuclear fusion fuel rod. By controlling the depth of the fuel rod entering the laser ignition device, we can control the nuclear fusion reaction."

"Great, let’s start with the first point!" He Xingzhou nodded, "Design a spherical Tokamak device, shrink the nuclear fusion reaction apparatus by a thousand times!"

He Xingzhou threw himself into the research of controllable nuclear fusion technology. This was more complex than any technology he had studied before.

Refinement and production of nuclear material tritium; how to solve the problem of radioactivity; how the device withstands temperatures of one hundred million degrees Celsius; how to manufacture atomic beam emitters; design and manufacture of optical instruments; stable control issues, etc.

Each one requires a substantial expenditure of energy.

According to the Quantum Light Computer, the milestone for the evolution of Mother Star Civilization to the First-level Civilization is the breakthrough in energy utilization technology to controllable nuclear fusion technology!

With this technology, humanity will have access to virtually unlimited energy, allowing all technologies to rapidly advance toward a Second-level Civilization!

To uplift human civilization from level 0.7 to level 1.0, He Xingzhou completely set aside all other plans and focused on tackling controllable nuclear fusion technology.

...

Time during research always flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, four months have passed.

He Xingzhou, along with his team, has designed a preliminary spherical Tokamak device. Most problems have been solved, with only the most challenging atomic beam laser emitter yet to be successfully developed.

During this period, the world continued to undergo dramatic changes!

The Zerg has fully invaded the Five Continents and Four Oceans. The oceans are undoubtedly the Zerg territory, and the continents are already full of holes!

Eighty percent of the world’s countries have perished!

Survivors are fleeing everywhere, with famine, disease, and insect plagues engulfing the entire world.

Worldwide, only a handful of places still harbor human civilization.

New forces have essentially replaced the original structure of Blue Star.

The Zerg is number one, their power is beyond doubt.

The second is the Blue Star Alliance led by Shen Zhou, where some surviving forces have joined and received the alliance’s protection.
