Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Miniature Nuclear Fusion Reactor

The internet café recommended by Little Curls was indeed good.

This place was originally quite remote, but fortunately, there were a few private high schools with lousy teaching quality and management.

So the owner opened an internet café here.

Unfortunately, there weren’t many students in the private schools, so although the café would make some money, it was never truly thriving...

Certainly not!

Who would have thought that after the private schools closed, Tianshui Second High School would take over!

This is a key high school!

Plus, the new principal wanted to save money, so when taking over the school, they also took in some of the original private school’s dual high-tuition students... paired with the high-tuition classes in the regular classes that no one really managed...

Now, the internet café naturally became popular again.

The overall quality of the school was declining, with fewer and fewer students each year.

In contrast, the business at the internet café was rising year over year.

The owner made a quick decision, rapidly expanding the space, and started replacing the old machines with new ones in batches.

When Chu River entered, the machines in the first-floor lobby looked brand new.

...

A boy was sitting at the front desk, concentrating hard on his game. When he sensed someone coming, he stood up, but his eyes were still glued to the screen, his hand unmoved from the mouse.

Unfortunately, he was probably outmatched. With a few quick actions, his character was clearly dead, and the sound effects had already changed.

He cursed softly: "Damn!"

Then he looked up:

"How many hours, ID card."

Chu River found it quite novel.

She had heard from Little Curls that nowadays, gaming was either via phone or computer, and immersive consciousness had yet to develop.

— is it really fun to play like this?

Chu River thought that people nowadays were indeed quite interesting.

She calculated the time — since it was so easy to come out, there was no need to stay long, in case someone returned to the dormitory at noon and would get caught, which would be bad for asking for leave next time.

So she calmly replied,

"Two hours."

It was just after nine, and she could definitely make it back by 11:30.

The boy skillfully booted up the machine:

"Alright, 8 yuan."

Chu River paused, looking at the QR code on the back of the computer, and then realized — without a smartphone, she was now considered backward.

So she pulled out one of the 300 yuan she received from school and handed it over.

In other places, whether or not they had change was another matter.

But most of the customers in this internet café were students, and cash was still more convenient.

Therefore, there was no worry about having change.

At this moment, a boy sitting at the outermost area of the lobby glanced at her unintentionally, then looked back, thought for a moment, and glanced at her again.

Finally, he couldn’t resist nudging the boy next to him with his elbow.

"Damn! What are you doing?"

"Stop pushing me! Hey! Hey! You damn—died!"

The little boy had no awareness about letting his teammate down — after all, the two of them were such rookies that dying was just a matter of time.

Now, he was in full gossip mode, curious.

"Look at the girl by the café entrance, doesn’t she look like Chu River from our school?"

Their voices were low and far away, but somehow, being secretly observed, Chu River turned her head and nodded at them.

The two boys: ...

They sheepishly shrank back.

The academic star is hitting the internet café too?

That’s new!

—Wait a minute!

Weren’t they skipping class to come out? Is today the weekend?!

...

And Chu River had already reached the computer, calmly taking a seat.

Her eyes scanned the screen, the keyboard and mouse, and finally the heavily wired CPU below. After hesitating for a while, she buried into her few computer knowledge in her mind, instinctively pressing the power button.

Then she quietly waited.

During the long process of the computer booting up, she found herself a bit hesitant—

What to search?

Thinking about the few hundred yuan in her pocket right now, after the college entrance exam, the first thing she should do is make money.

Given the current technological development on Mountain and Sea Star, the quickest way to make money would naturally be to work with technology.

After all, even though Chu River was rather poor in theoretical knowledge, her hands-on skills and mechanical knowledge were super strong.

But toying with those trivial inventions holds no interest for her; she, the Domineering General, how could she care about such meager profits?

If she’s going to do it, she should aim for a bigger foundational platform!

...

As her mind settled on an idea, she confidently opened the so-called ’All-Purpose Taotao Treasure,’ where her classmates claimed you could buy anything, and typed in the search bar what she needed —

[Ultra-Miniature Nuclear Fusion Reactor]

...

The page instantly refreshed.

Chu River’s eyes lit up—

Worthy of being the All-Purpose Taotao Treasure, you can buy anything, indeed very convenient!

But something seemed off. Why were all these [Miniature Nuclear Fusion Reactors] circle-shaped, engraved with letters on the edge, and even glowing in the middle?

[Proof That Tony stark]

[Has A heart]

???

Chu River couldn’t understand — is this an epitaph for the reactor designer?

She followed the link inside and found out that the little reactor priced at 160 yuan listed the following materials at the bottom:

[Materials: Alloy, Brass, Acrylic, Plastic, ABS Resin]

A small head with big confusion.

The Domineering General really couldn’t comprehend — mini nuclear fusion reactors, can now be made with just these materials?

What’s this?

What sort of magical technology is this?

And why must it be noted as [Iron Man] style? Who is that? The designer’s name?

Gao Tiantian had once said, when in doubt, use Baidu.

Chu River acted immediately, typing the three words [Iron Man] into the search bar.

A second later, she fell silent.

This lousy Taotao Treasure, can’t even buy a mini reactor, how is she supposed to develop a foundational platform now?

Is she supposed to make one herself?

Damn it!

Absolutely absurd.

The original plan was to create a high-efficiency reactor to build a foundational platform, replace the current energy market, make a one-time deal with the government, and earn a sum enough for a comfortable life.

But now, it seems—it’s a bit difficult.

After casually searching the current technological progress and raw materials, as a student, she can’t even touch the basic materials.

Chu River sighed.

-- It’s to blame for the physics class only teaching formulas and theorems, not the progress of technological development.

And this kind of common sense was not so detailed when she accepted knowledge.

If even mini reactors don’t exist, then neutron blasting, core impacts, artificial star cores... are they all not used!

How disappointing!

The technology of Mountain and Sea Star!

Now she’s in trouble, and her grand ideas can’t be realized, earning money is tough, if only Chang Geng were by her side.

Chu River scratched her head in frustration.

And the student who had also slipped out of Tianshui Second High School, attracted by her sigh, looked at her face that frequented the honor roll and couldn’t help but be stunned.

Then he glanced back at the screen filled with layer upon layers of documents and the mysterious symbols inside the document he couldn’t understand, and the little boy couldn’t help but tremble as a poor student.

-- The teacher wasn’t entirely wrong.

An excellent student not only reads while sleeping but also studies while online.

Boohoo!
