Chapter 378: What the country has, we must have too

The new type of nuclear fuel cell developed by Jiang Caier is extremely advanced. It adopts a unique cold fusion trigger mode, which annihilates antihydrogen atoms and helium-3 in the MOF pores, releases gamma rays to stimulate the deuterium-tritium fuel to enter the quantum tunneling state, and triggers cold nuclear fusion without the need for high temperature and high pressure.

The reaction equation is: (^2H +^3He \rightarrow ^4He +^1H + 18.3, ext{MeV}) The confinement layer is a honeycomb nanostructure composed of a two-dimensional topological insulator (bismuthene-germanium superlattice) and graphyne. It uses the quantum spin Hall effect to confine the high-energy particles released by the nuclear reaction within the picometer scale, allowing them to move in a directed manner to the energy conversion layer.

This nanoscale channel can effectively avoid heat loss and radiation leakage.

The principles involved are extremely complex. If we want to explain them clearly, it would probably require hundreds of thousands of words and several professional books.

These professional books are like incomprehensible books to ordinary people, and the only thing they can understand is probably the title.

It can be said that Jiang Caier’s sudden appearance has made the technology of human beings on Earth leap forward by several generations.

As Jiang Caier's realm and strength improve, and as humans enter the interstellar era, this "big bang" in the field of science and technology will continue. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "a thousand miles a day", no, "ten thousand miles a day".

Because, with no shortage of energy and computing power, if she really had a quantum computer matrix as large as the moon, it would be hard to describe to what extent human technology could develop.

It can be said that many scenes in previous science fiction films can become reality.

Jiang Caier’s nickname “Goddess of Wisdom” is well-deserved.

The "Goddess of Wisdom" who specializes in scientific research brings with her the academic elites on Earth. Two-thirds of these elites are extraordinary people with first-class physical strength and intelligence. With the assistance of unimaginable computing power, all kinds of fantastic ideas emerge in an endless stream, and it is impossible for science and technology not to make rapid progress.

As for materials science, thanks to the various exotic beast shells and limbs, as well as the various rare metals and minerals that Li Xiang collected from outer space, there was no shortage of anything. The only thing missing was time.

"City No. 42 asked that guy to hunt down the traitor. It's really..." Jiang Caier shook her head, speechless.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiang asked.

Jiang Caier sneered and said, "That Lin Ye is also one of the traitors."

As she spoke, she called up some images and projected them holographically in front of her. One of the images was secretly monitored by someone who had invaded Lin Ye's communicator a minute ago, thousands of kilometers away.

The other party came to a foreign underground city in Siberia, met with a mysterious man, and took the other party's benefits. The mysterious man was a member of the smuggling gang "Skull and Bones Society".

"I'll be back soon." Li Xiang was naturally very angry. Originally, he was not so obsessed with the hatred in his previous life. After all, he was in a special position now and he no longer cared about that little Karami. It was as easy to crush the other person to death as to crush a small ant.

How can you feel good when you crush an ant? No! But now, Lin Ye has angered him. He actually stole such a high-tech nuclear fuel cell and sold it abroad. How can he tolerate this?

At a top speed of 600 kilometers per second, it only took Li Xiang a few seconds to get from City 03 in Sichuan Province to the Neringi Underground City in Siberia.

He is quite familiar with this area, as it used to be the territory where Little Golden Tiger and others lived. In fact, the earth is very small, just like his back garden, and he is familiar with every place.

The Neringi Underground City is a mess. If City 03 is the world's top metropolis, symbolizing the progress of the times, with all kinds of high-tech and extraordinary equipment, clean and tidy, and a first-class city of both science fiction and extraordinary things, then the Neringi Underground City is simply a small rural village, dirty, messy and poor, and there are many "zombies" on the streets.

They are not real zombies, nor are they performance art, but symptoms caused by long-term use and abuse of drugs such as "blue sugar pill" fentanyl.

…

"Boss, the enemy is in an abandoned warehouse over there. Should we rush in directly?" A special forces soldier asked the captain Lin Ye beside him.

Lin Ye was in his thirties, with a white face and no beard, and a cold look in his eyes: "Of course!"

The soldier was about to take action when suddenly, a slight "swish" sound was heard.

The special forces soldier's body suddenly froze. He slowly lowered his head and looked at his abdomen, only to see an alloy sword had been inserted into his abdomen for more than 40 centimeters. The long and narrow sword pierced into the weak point of his combat uniform, leaving only the handle.

The hand holding the alloy sword belonged to Captain Lin Ye beside him!

"You..." The special forces soldier couldn't believe it. Is this still the captain he admired the most?

Aren’t we all a team and can support each other?

"You are so naive!"

Lin Ye slowly drew out his knife, blood gushing out as the blade was pulled out. Just now, he stabbed his teammate's internal organs with the knife, and his spiritual power vibrated, stimulating a strangling force that had already crushed the special forces soldier's internal organs.

He volunteered to hunt down the traitors and smugglers this time in order to ensure the success of the smuggling transaction.

But this special forces soldier actually wanted to sabotage and even detected the true location of the target, so he naturally could not tolerate it.

Li Xiang was one step too late after all. Actually, it cannot be said that he was too late, because people like him are always thinking about harming others when they live in the world. Before Li Xiang came, this person had done countless evil things in secret and killed countless people.

Li Xiang saw the special forces soldier lying in a pool of blood and sighed in his heart. He was wrong this time because revenge should be taken as soon as possible.

If he had taken revenge sooner, perhaps there would have been fewer victims.

However, the world is so big and there are so many bad people, it is impossible for him to kill them all.

"Swish~" a fierce sound of breaking through the air was heard. Lin Ye turned his head and saw a small stone coming towards him. Before he could react, the stone hit his forehead, shattered his skull, and exploded most of his head. His brains splattered on the combat uniform of the special forces soldier next to him with the emblem of City No. 42 printed on it.

Li Xiang just casually flicked out a small stone, the speed of which was only two or three Machs, but it was not something Lin Ye could resist.

There is no need to use star sand to deal with this kind of little Karami.

He came to the warehouse and confiscated the three nuclear fuel cells. Everyone present was killed.

He was scared to death by himself.

Li Xiang did not take any action, but just activated the "Lingyuan Holy Seal" to launch a mental attack. Those people immediately had endless horrific illusions in their minds and were frightened to death.

Half an hour later, the famous "Skull and Bones Society" of the Bear Country was wiped out. There may be some fish that slipped through the net, but they were only peripheral members, and none of the 244 core members escaped.

Although they are located abroad, these dungeons are all connected to the Internet, and members of the Skull and Bones Society all carry communicators with them. Jiang Caier invades the dungeon and is responsible for positioning, while Li Xiang is responsible for precise sniping. Their efficiency is astonishingly high.

The traitor who escaped from City 42 naturally died tragically.

The special forces team that came to carry out the mission were shocked beyond words when they saw this scene.

"Is this... the mission completed?"

"But, we just chased after them and didn't do anything?"

"Captain and Pony are dead. Also, although the traitors and the Skull and Bones Society have been destroyed, the three advanced nuclear fuel cells are missing. We can't say we have completed our mission."

"Take their bodies back. Even though they are dead and their mission was not completed, they should be treated as martyrs."

When the group returned, they were surprised to find that their teammate Xiao Ma had indeed been awarded the title of "martyr" and his family received a high pension. However, the team leader Lin Ye was labeled a traitor. Everyone was puzzled.

It was not until Lin Ye’s family members demanded an explanation and caused a lot of uproar that the authorities announced the whole story and calmed public opinion.

There was all sorts of solid evidence, but of course, the fact that Li Xiang had taken action was concealed.

These evidences were shared by Jiang Caier afterwards.

At the end of the fourth year of the apocalypse, Li Xiang was officially elected as the chief treasurer and moved the center to City 03. Naturally, there was no objection from the 72 honeycomb underground city clusters across the country, and everyone was excited.

It can be said that it is what everyone expects and what people want.

Li Xiang delivered a New Year's speech and officially announced a major event, that is, the once closed underground railway network will be reopened, repaired and put into use.

Li Xiang doesn't need to take care of the details like construction.

This is because Country C also has many earth-type extraordinary people, such as the Earth Vein Passage Team of nearly 800 members.

Originally there were only 469 people from all over the world, but later there were reductions in staff and new members were added. After so long, the group has expanded to 800 people.

The highest of these people, such as Kanna, is already at level twelfth, while the lowest are at level four or five, and they are all loyal elites.

With so many people mobilized, plus the participation of some engineering teams and various robots, progress was very fast.

Some news media reporters went to the construction site to conduct on-site interviews and reports. The relevant person in charge predicted that the entire line will be open to traffic in three months at most.

And it will not be the old-style railway as before, but will adopt a full magnetic levitation mode.

The news spread across the globe, sparking comments from netizens from all over the world in shock.

“Is this the speed of Country C?”

"The infrastructure maniac has revived again!"

"We are still fighting against the alien beasts and dare not leave the city. Have they already restored the national underground intercity transportation network?"

"Haha, we can't recover even if we want to. We don't have the infrastructure capacity, and... there is no government organization that can truly command the entire country."

In many countries, underground cities have long been independent of each other, and the original governments exist in name only. Although it is said that things will eventually unify after a long period of division, and things will eventually unify after a long period of unification, it is extremely difficult to unify again after a division.

Because of the power that has been obtained, no one is willing to give it up.

In fact, Country C also has such a trend, but unfortunately, Li Xiang is too powerful and City 03 is too advanced. He has even built a space mothership and colonized the moon. Such achievements suppress anyone who has such thoughts.

At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why Li Xiang hurriedly restarted the underground transportation network. Of course, this reason accounts for a small proportion.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Originally, he planned to "rebuild his home" after completely seizing control of the earth, but now he can't wait any longer.

Firstly, it can be used as a political achievement after taking office. A new official has three things to do upon taking office, so he must do something different to inspire people.

Secondly, strengthening the connections between underground honeycomb city clusters will help everyone integrate better.

Thirdly, the domestic situation is actually under control. The only tough challenge is the kings of the beasts in the divine king realm deep in the earth's core.

As for the "Earth Vein Passage" team, it will not be disbanded, but will continue to serve as a "secret line" responsible for the transportation of valuables, including international trade.

The underground transportation network is limited to the country, while those underground cities abroad are still "isolated overseas", and the underground thoroughfares still have a lot of room for use.

As for Li Xiang taking over as the chief treasurer, the other dungeons in the world did not comment too much, but some people were shocked: "Why, was Li Shen not the chief treasurer before?"

"Oh my God, I thought he had always been the boss of Country C. I didn't know that he only officially took over now."

"I'll tell you a real secret."

"What secret?"

"The real boss of Country C is his wife!"

"Haha, it turns out that Li Shen is afraid of his wife."

Of course, Li Xiang is not afraid of his wife, but his wife is capable in government affairs, so it is more efficient to have Jiang Caier handle various matters.

The country has vigorously carried out the recovery and restart of the underground intercity transportation network. Some lines have been put into trial operation and videos have been released to the global network.

On the day when Country C's magnetic levitation network was fully connected, the silver-gray train in the holographic live broadcast screen was like a light shuttle passing through the reinforced tunnel. There were also defense lines composed of psychic shields and automatic turrets along the way, which could effectively kill invading monsters and protect the integrity of the underground transportation network.

Li Xiang has subdued almost all the holy-level monster leaders in the country and ordered them to lead their respective tribes and guard the surface.

However, there are too many of those below the Saint level, and even the Saint-level monster leaders cannot control them all.

There are also occasional foreign beasts that sneak in from outside the country, so the safety of the underground transportation network still requires security forces.

In addition to psychic shields and various automatic turrets, a team of extraordinary road guards was also organized to patrol back and forth in shifts every day and provide various emergency response services.

Those automatic turrets are mainly equipped with laser cannons, particle cannons and various directed energy weapons. These weapons already existed before the end of the world, but they were not equipped in large numbers and their performance was not particularly good. Now, not only has their performance leapt several generations, but their numbers have also been fully equipped.

When the first long-distance train arrived at its destination after traveling more than 3,000 kilometers, the global network was in an uproar - this was not only a revival of transportation, but also a declaration of absolute suppression of the alien animal ecology on the surface.

Many countries are envious, and some countries or cities have announced the construction of intercity transportation networks.

A European country: "We also need to restart transportation. Without offline exchanges and communication, we will become more and more isolated. The Internet cannot make up for reality."

South Asian subcontinent: "Whatever Country C has, we must have too."

In particular, those underground cities that were sanctioned by Country C for wanton massacres or expulsions of different classes and were unable to obtain the advanced version of the breathing method united and issued a statement that they also wanted to restart the underground railway and strengthen communication and exchanges between cities.

It wasn't just talk; these underground cities really joined together, organized a construction team, and started construction.

It also has a very cool name, called "Breaking the Wall Plan".

The pilot project was chosen between two relatively close cities, which were only about 100 kilometers apart. They actually managed to build it, after all, the distance was relatively short.

On the day the line opened, these underground cities celebrated wildly, and many people signed up to be the first wave of passengers to experience the long-lost intercity transportation.

Although they use low-speed trains left over from the past, the kind that burn diesel and have a speed of only 60 kilometers per hour, they are still good at transporting freight.

Live broadcast.

As a result, something big happened during the live broadcast.

The underground railway tunnel was breached by alien beasts that could dig holes, and endless alien beasts invaded from the surface caves, killing not only the running trains, but all the people on the trains. These armies of alien beasts invaded the two underground cities through the railway network, causing heavy casualties, and only one in ten survived.

The only reason there were still survivors was because Li Xiang arrived in time, killed the invading beasts, helped them repair their shelter, and provided a batch of material support out of humanitarianism.

European countries: “…”

Those countries that were about to start construction immediately announced the cancellation of the plan.

"Times have changed. We can't even restore our low-speed railways, but Country C has already fully adopted magnetic levitation and has even carried out interstellar migration, building two large cities on the moon."

The images of European countries urgently halting their transportation revitalization proposals and the images of Country C's aerospace carrier "Xuanming" cruising on the moon went viral on the Internet at the same time.

After several sea trials, the Xuanming space mothership has officially entered service and transported the first wave of immigrants to Yutu City.

The energy minister in the Frankfurt underground city stared at the data report and shuddered: the energy consumption per kilometer of Country C's trains was only 0.003% of theirs, but their carrying capacity was eight thousand times that of theirs.

“It’s not the gap in railways, it’s the gap in civilization levels.”

As the representative of Country C, Mayor Yao Yao of Los Santos hosted a global transoceanic video conference. The participants were all the mayors of major dungeon cities. Of course, some unfriendly ones were not invited.

The threshold for this conference is still a bit high.

Yao Yao presented the latest intelligence at the meeting - another "God's Skeleton-class" space mothership under construction in Country C, the length of its keel alone exceeded the depth of most European countries.

While the survivors of the sanctioned alliance on the South Asian subcontinent were huddled in dirty and messy underground cities, starving and freezing, the children of Country C were observing the glowing space wheat seedlings on the lunar farm.

This is a new variety developed by Zhao Xueqing's agricultural team. It is actually the natural evolutionary path of plants in nature to adapt to the environment.

On the surface, in the endless darkness, the plants showed their abilities and thus these self-luminous species appeared.

The research and development team went deep into the dark and cold surface to collect samples, extract their genetic fragments, and hybridize them with traditional wheat.

Although genetic modification technology is used, at the moment of human survival, like previous high-yield crops, genetic modification is also a strategic technology.

In addition, this luminescence technology can also be applied to other plants.

For example, some mosses and ivy can serve as lighting.

Li Xiang stood on the blood-stained rails, the star sand on his fingertips condensed into a warning inscription. Those who still clamored that "traditional railways are more humane" will eventually be annihilated between the roar of the beasts and the roar of the interstellar engine.
