The Last Great Sage
Chapter 290:The Last Great Sage
When the energy is abundant and uranium is easy to mine, no one is willing to pay for it and spend a lot of effort to study the nuclear fusion technology that is used.
When the energy became subdued and the entire economic edifice was in jeopardy, the Knicks civilization suddenly found that "controllable nuclear fusion" was still too far away from itself, and even never progressed!
This project requires too much energy and resources, which is already unbearable for the entire civilization!Even the whole world can't complete this project, what should I do?
That in itself is a paradox!
An...impossible task!
Even the death of the Knicks civilization does not know whether the project of "controllable nuclear fusion technology" can be completed...
Does “controllable nuclear fusion technology” exist?
This is not only the question of the last generation of the Knicks, but also the question in the hearts of every human being.
Humans have seen interstellar civilizations, and everyone subconsciously thinks they have fusion reactors, but... no one has ever really seen it, who knows?
There was a lot of silence in the room, not even a single discussion...
Is that the truth about the Great Filter?
Everyone is silent, with a blue face, and there is no answer to the human race itself!
Here is the standard temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, but everyone feels the endless, unstoppable cold in their hearts.
Many people began to whisper to each other, especially some nuclear physicists, in the face of people's inquiries, have a gloomy face.
“If controlled nuclear fusion is not possible, then it is undoubtedly a great disaster for the industry of the future, and interstellar navigation will become a distant dream.”
According to human history, the hydrogen bomb explosion was achieved in 1952, and the first magnetic confinement device was built in 1954, that is to say, the idea of "magnetic confinement fusion" in the 1950s!
But so far, human research on this project is also nearly a hundred years, and even the most basic balance of payments can not be reached, let alone the stable combustion.
Fifty years ago, people said that 50 years later, fusion power generation can be achieved, and 50 years later, the fusion world is still the same sentence: we have to wait another 50 years.
This is what we call “50 years forever.”
How can a reliable project fall into such an embarrassing position?
Is it not true in itself?
Throughout human history, nuclear fusion engineering is also the most difficult project encountered by humans, which is more difficult than what Apollo program and lunar base construction plan!
In the past, many difficult projects will be gradually conquered over time, such as launching satellites, such as landing on the moon, people will always slowly accumulate experience technology, and then overcome the difficulties.
There has never been such a project, it took nearly a hundred years, and even a bullshit has not been released...
It's a hundred years!
Nearly a hundred years, people's technical progress bar, forward one percent?
Faced with the suspicious eyes of the people, Professor Ding Yidong shook his head in decadence.
As a nuclear physicist, he is most clear about this problem.
In essence, humans have not made much progress towards controlled nuclear fusion.
In fact, Ding Yidong still can't believe that "controllable nuclear fusion technology" has become a big filter in the universe!
This is inexplicable!
Is it really not workable?
Ding Yidong subconsciously believes that just the money invested is not enough... yeah, just not enough money.
But, ask yourself, is there really any progress in human nuclear fusion engineering?
Not even though!
Or, with a little bit of experimental data, a 0.1% process... Professor Ding shook his head very disheartened.
The two main stars in the sky gradually faded away, destined to be a dark night...
It was also a dark night.
Knicks' contemporary "The Sage" Baxter and his wife, mathematician Judith, are at home to more than eighty guests.
Half of them are scientists, half are rich people with good personal relationships, and a small number of high-level governments.
They ate and drank and ate, and it was a high-level feast.
The food is very delicate, made by senior chefs, and even some guests who usually have a small appetite also eat a lot.
Now ... the author of the equation of mass energy, the death of the Wise Man of Yutton, has been more than seven hundred years.
Seven hundred years, Yutton's descendants, has not yet invented the "controllable nuclear fusion" technology.
Resources are being consumed so quickly that the number of Knicks’ population is 5 billion!At this rate, in 100 years, all uranium resources will be exhausted, and they will face a huge energy crisis!
If nuclear power is lost, except for some megacities built in the crater, most areas will lose power.
Without nuclear energy, the Knicks will return to an era where only magma can be used, and more than 90% of the population will starve to death!Because magma alone can not feed a huge 5 billion people.
This is a naked life crisis!
However, such a crisis takes the form of warm-boiled frogs.
Everyone knows it’s going to happen, but... everything is still far away.Until society as a whole didn’t really react, the Knicks believed that such a life would continue.
This is an age of capital, an age of entertainment, but not an age of science, and the decline of the sage class has become a fact.
In the Uttton period more than 700 years ago, more than 80% of primary school students, middle school students and even college students have the ambition to be a “sage”.At that time, the Knicks had a crazy cult of science.
The world has been in peace for seven hundred years.
An idea called “inertia” or “happiness” has been permeating society for too long.
The scientists?Can you make money?
You can't make money, who's going to be!
When scientists are difficult and energy-intensive, it is better to be a boss and star.
A star sings a song that is like a scientist fighting for a lifetime.
Such social change is a torrent, a general trend.
In the face of this situation, no one can stop it.
"I don't understand nuclear energy... I only know biology."
Baxter, the “sage” of the Knicks civilization, said worriedly, “But I hope that all of you here can think of a way, and I hope that the government can give more financial support ... in the face of the coming energy crisis, we can’t delay it anymore.”
“New uranium mines have not been discovered for a long time, which shows that ... there is not much on the surface to be mined.”
As the smartest group of Knicks, they are acutely aware of the coming energy crisis a century from now.
Baxter believes that it is necessary to react in advance, and the province is really boiled to death by warm water-cooked frogs.
