"We made the right choice."
"We can only say it's not a loss. Before seeing the specific contents of this technical material, we can't say it's not a loss for the Light spell and the Mage's Hand."
"Even basic magic requires 10 magic coins for just two basic spells, and it will take a long time to collect them all."
"It would be great if Merlin could be sold in parts."
China claimed to Russia that it had only five magic coins, but in reality, it had seven.
After exchanging five coins with Russia for biological storage technology data, two coins remained.
There is a significant gap between the current state and the requirements for exchanging for the Light spell and the Mage's Hand.
"Instead of thinking about basic magic, we should consider analyzing the magical essence of 20 magic coins. I think that's the most valuable thing."
"I'm far from getting 20 magic coins unless I complete the bounty mission. If I rely solely on finding the cosmic coordinates of intelligent life, that would take too long."
However, we recently made a new discovery using the Haber algorithm, locating another magic coin. We estimate that we can calculate its precise cosmic coordinates within the next two months.
Those who obtained the "Magic Brain" from China would communicate and exchange ideas regularly. The "Magic Brain" from China was then given to physicists, mathematicians, and biologists.
The lion's share still went to the mathematician.
After reviewing the technical documentation on biological storage and experiencing its practical implementation, everyone realized that it was absolutely worthwhile.
Because it contains how to directly interfere with matter through will, making the properties of matter change from reactive to stable.
In a sense, this is magic. If, based on Merlin's information, more methods to influence the properties of matter could be developed, the value would be immeasurable.
To give a simple example, how to use magic to improve existing materials so that they can better contain ultra-high temperature plasma after heating.
The desired effect can be achieved simply by making the properties of matter more stable through willpower.
The ability to better confine ultra-high temperature plasma means that the most difficult aspect of controlled nuclear fusion has been overcome.
The potential of controlled nuclear fusion lies primarily in the nuclear energy in lithium and deuterium, which can be utilized through the DT thermonuclear reaction. This could be a very large energy source with significant resource and environmental advantages.
China has made significant progress in recent years in controlling the high-temperature materials required for controlled nuclear fusion.
In a tokamak-type ring pinch, China has achieved the generation, maintenance, and control of a time of up to 101 seconds at a temperature of 10 MK.
The ion temperature can be increased by auxiliary heating and is already close to 20 MK, less than three times the ideal minimum ignition temperature.
The energy limitation time τ is improved at near-reactor values for the number density n, so the value of nτ is close to 10¹³ cm⁻³ s, which is 10 times the Lawson standard and is sufficient for energy production in special systems.
These results were achieved in a device with a relatively moderately sized plasma ring and a small radius of about 20 centimeters.
Controlled nuclear fusion and grid-connected power generation not only bring about the creation of magic coins, but more importantly, it provides China with more energy sources that are not subject to the constraints of others.
In recent years, China has vigorously developed green energy industries such as photovoltaics, wind power, and hydropower. Environmental protection is one aspect, and avoiding being held back by technological bottlenecks is another.
China is heavily reliant on oil, being the world's largest importer of crude oil, with an import dependency rate exceeding 30%.
If you want to develop new energy vehicles, you need to increase your power generation capacity; otherwise, you won't be able to replace gasoline-powered vehicles.
With current methods, it is difficult to fundamentally improve power generation. Even with the development of new infrastructure in recent years, it is still impossible to achieve a 30% penetration rate for electric vehicles.
Controlled nuclear fusion-based grid-connected power generation can completely solve this problem.
Moreover, the widespread adoption of controlled nuclear fusion will reduce electricity costs, which will also benefit China's manufacturing industry.
Industrial electricity prices are much higher than residential electricity prices, which is a significant burden for the manufacturing industry. A decrease in industrial electricity consumption could trigger a surge in production capacity.
China is one of the few countries on Earth where residential electricity consumption is lower than industrial electricity consumption.
"You've recently been involved in a controlled nuclear fusion project. Have you come up with any ideas yet?"
"I think we can experiment with more materials that we haven't considered before."
SiC, for example, has advantages such as low activation, high temperature resistance, relatively low neutron absorption, and radiation resistance. However, SiC is rarely considered due to its material lifetime in nuclear fusion.
We could try using magic to treat SiC and see if we can fix the defects.
The database of the Huaguo Sun project contains a lot of materials, and we can try to access them.
However, our current understanding of magic is limited, so I don't think we need to rush to study how to apply magic to technology.
Instead, we need to understand the essence of how will influence materials within the biological storage that Merlin gave us.
If we can't figure out the essence, we should try to conduct research in an extended way, and figure out what role will can play first.
It's more reasonable to think about what controlled nuclear fusion can do next.
To do something well, you must first have the right tools.
"The Russians also have this material. This is a revolutionary moment, and we can't afford to fall behind."
The cooperation between China and Russia was a matter of necessity, as they had no choice but to choose each other.
