Chapter 623 Courage
"Lin the fool!"
In a fit of rage, Qin Luoshuang actually called out names that had not been used for a long time.
"What's wrong with you?! If the power goes out, we're finished! Don't you know how attractive we are to other forces now?"
"Yes!" Xia Xiaoxiang shouted, "Just like Qin lying naked in the robot..."
Bang bang bang bang bang.
Lin Wen ignored the two women fighting and said with a smile, "You're just too worried about the power outage and have lost your composure. The Great Elder wants us to be wiped out more than anyone else. You may not know that when Lin Yabo sent troops to attack us, the Great Elder stationed 700,000 imperial troops on the border of Fazhou."
Li Linyue reacted instantly: "The Supreme Council is threatening Lin Yabo, no wonder he only sent a small number of troops."
Yang Shaohu asked blankly, "Chief Lin, how did you know?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Of course it's my clever mind."
"But."
Qin Luoshuang, furious, kneeled her best friend hard on the neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"That doesn't explain the problem. The Great Elder wants to squeeze money out of us, but we've been so rude and stubborn. They might just give up on us."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Xiao Shuangshuang, your thinking should have been corrected. It's just that you are too timid. You should practice more courage."
"That's right." Xia Xiaoxiang used the last breath of her lungs to speak even though she couldn't breathe: "Qin, I'll run naked with you tonight..."
The blond man Fili's eyes lit up and he praised, "That's a good suggestion. I'll run naked with you guys too..."
Bang bang bang bang.
Lin Wen ignored the two men wailing on the ground and laughed, "Although the Great Elder is the most powerful, he's the one most afraid of the princes uniting. Ren Zhengqing is sharpening his sword in the north, the Golden Lion King is eyeing him covetously in the west, Lin Yabo is still frantically exploding insects down below, and Qin Gang is building nuclear bombs in the distance. The situation is extremely precarious. Do you think the Great Elder would be worried if they united and wiped out the Supreme Council first?"
Li Linyue pondered, "In this case, we, who have irreconcilable conflicts with all parties, become extremely important."
"Right," the honest Guo Feng agreed. "We're right in the middle of it all, like a fishbone stuck in their throats. This has deprived them of the opportunity to unite and the foundation for cooperation."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "So, this is just the Great Elder's usual blackmail tactic. They're used to squeezing oil out of stones that don't yield any benefit. It sounds ridiculous, but if you're not careful, you'll really be squeezed out of oil."
After he finished speaking, Zhao Minggong led the applause, and the conference room was filled with thunderous applause.
Yang Shaohu said loudly: "Chief Lin, we all need to learn from you!"
Zhao Minggong smiled and said, "You are indeed worthy of me. It seems that even if I die now, I can rest in peace."
Old Xie complained, "Stop talking nonsense, Mr. Zhao. You always say you're dying. How long have you been dying? I think you'll live to be a hundred years old. Even if I die, you won't die."
This caused a burst of laughter and also served as a reminder to Lin Wen.
He opened the first evil karma magical power and took a look. He still had fifty years to live, while Zhao Minggong's life span was already sixteen years.
Yang Shaohu recovered his health and his life span returned to sixty. Lin Wen had already removed his mark.
After thinking about it, Lin Wen touched Qin Luoshuang again and put a mark on her.
Qin Luoshuang said angrily: "Don't touch me!"
Lin Wen ignored her. With the mark, he could see her lifespan through his magical powers.
Seventy-two years left.
cut.
Live so long.
Lin Wen directly cancelled the mark and touched everyone present again.
They all live long lives.
Very good, no hidden dangers.
Qin Luoshuang said angrily, "Lin Wen, be serious. What you said is unstable. We have so many advanced technologies and industries, but only such a small territory. In the eyes of other forces, we are just a typical piece of fat meat. The Great Elder's ideas are ever-changing, and there is no guarantee that he will not trade with others!"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Great Elder will not give up negotiating with us in the short term."
Qin Luoshuang asked angrily, "How long will it take?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "I've already built my power station, so why should I be afraid of them?"
Qin Luoshuang stamped her feet and said, "Such a huge power gap, can it be built in such a short time?"
Lin Wen's smile widened: "Of course."
Qin Luoshuang was about to lose her temper when she suddenly saw Lin Wen's smile. She suddenly remembered that similar situations had occurred many times before. Every time, she was obviously right, but in the end she always became the clown.
Could it be this time too?
Did he prepare something unscientific again?
Qin Luoshuang held her breath and looked at him suspiciously.
Sure enough, Lin Wen turned to Mr. Fei and said, "Mr. Fei, I heard you have a magnetic confinement device for experiments?"
Fermi said indifferently: "No, I won't lend it, I won't look at it, I don't want it."
Lin Wen laughed and said, "I haven't told you yet, but you won't watch it?"
Fermi's assistant said angrily, "You always lie to us! You took away all the important equipment we worked so hard to build. You successfully modified it, but you won't even share the principle with us!"
Lin Wen touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. "I only took a little bit, and besides, didn't I tell you?"
"Haha." The assistant sneered, "I don't know how I did it. I just touched it and it became like this. Maybe it's because I have extraordinary talent... Listen, does this sound like human language?"
"Oh——" Everyone looked at County Mayor Lin.
Lin Wen could only ignore them and turned to Fermi and said, "Mr. Fei, do you really not want to see it?"
Fermi said coldly, "Even if I go blind the next moment, I won't read your stuff."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Fei, let me ask you again, do you really not want to see the controlled nuclear fusion ignition?"
Bang!
Lin Wen's hand was held tightly by Fermi.
"Where?"
——
Controlled nuclear fusion is known as the ultimate goal of mankind, the starting point of the sea of stars, the landmark stage of endless energy, and the artificial sun project, a technology that will always be fifty years away.
Its existence is the reason why Lin Wen dares to do all this.
Nuclear fusion is the gatekeeper of the underlying rules of the physical world. Lin Wen has studied everything about it and knows very well why it is so out of reach.
Unlike fission, nuclear fusion is the process of combining two light elements into one heavy element, releasing a large amount of energy.
It requires extremely high temperatures (usually 100 million degrees) for the reaction to occur.
Since no material can withstand such high temperatures, it must be confined using magnetic fields.
This is the tokamak magnetic confinement device.
In the 1950s, it was developed by the United States. At that time, humans optimistically predicted that controlled nuclear fusion could be achieved in 50 years.
But to this day, it still takes fifty years.
The biggest problems with controlled nuclear fusion are: it cannot operate continuously and stably, the Lawson triple product does not meet the standard, and the system input energy exceeds the output energy.
Simply put, it is not used to generate electricity, but to consume electricity.
But now, Lin Wen has found a solution with his superhuman wisdom.
【Qiankun Refining】
Just refine the magnetic confinement device and laser ignition device and there will be no problem.
Since the relevant luck had been used up, Lin Wen spent another 300,000 to draw the "Red Dust" level luck three times.
I was lucky this time.
A "mayfly dream".
Reduces the cost of enhancing or refining spells to one-tenth, allowing them to be used ten times.
A shot of "River of Star Dreams".
Reduces the cost of divination spells to one-tenth, allowing them to be used ten times.
A shot of "Primal Awakening".
When your spell is enhanced, the enhancement is doubled and can be used ten times.
As soon as these three fortunes came out, Lin Wen immediately turned around. Countless possibilities flashed through his mind in an instant, and countless plans became possible from impossible.
The steel door to the new world has opened.
After Lin Wen thought it through, he came to the meeting room excitedly.
They happened to be in a meeting, so they sent a message to the elder saying "Eat shit" to relieve the depression they had been feeling during that period.
To be honest, Lin Wen really didn't expect that luck could be used up so quickly.
It seemed like he didn't do anything, but he spent one and a half million in one go.
The number on the fifth magical power also changed to 613221/10000.
It was only enough to draw two more "Bitter Sea" level ones worth 300,000, and the stock that had been accumulated for half a year was gone.
Lin Wen couldn't help but sigh once again how difficult it was to save money and how easily money was spent.
"Alas, I've been relying too much on luck and magic lately. I should use my wisdom more often to solve problems."
Pop.
Lin Wen clapped his hands on the ground.
【Turn soil into mud】
Water Control
【Pointing to the Ground to Form Steel】
Take another bite of the "Fairy Peach" and your spirit will be instantly restored to full.
In just a moment, a power plant appeared underground.
If you dig away the soil around it, it will be considered to be "rising from the ground".
"This spell is really useful."
Lin Wen thought happily.
"All I have to do is turn the corresponding soil into muddy water according to the blueprint, drain the muddy water, and then replace the soil with steel. A factory is complete. Unfortunately, it's too energy-consuming... Sigh, I'd better rely on myself more."
The power plant is now built, and all that’s left is the nuclear fusion device.
There are still some generator sets in stock. Zhao Minggong and Yang Shaohu had long considered the safety of electricity use in Changshan County. When they had abundant funds, they purchased a lot of generator sets from outside and prepared to build some more power plants.
It's a pity that the situation in the empire changed too quickly and they couldn't keep up.
——
Day 3.
Fermi's experimental magnetic confinement device was finally installed in the center of the new power plant that had just been built.
It was a monster made up of huge blocks of metal and a tangled web of pipes, piled up in this cold steel power plant like a pile of garbage from the industrial age.
The sunlight shines down from the huge atrium, scattering on the cold gray steel, revealing an inhuman loneliness and coldness.
Fermi stood before the giant steel structure. The crane had just departed. He gazed up at the cold, rough mass of metal and sighed softly, "What is this world really like? Is there an end to physics? Can anything be further divided below the atom? I have so many questions, none of which have been answered, yet they seem to multiply."
The assistant curled his lips and said, "Aren't they all brought by that unscientific County Chief Lin?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "No, you just don't understand my science."
The assistant angrily said, "Your science is simply incomprehensible! Mr. Li is a liar. Do you think his nonsense can fool us?"
Fermi stopped his assistant's complaints. He knew about the existence of old technology and was very immune to strange things. He said, "Headmaster Lin, let's get started."
Lin Wen nodded and started the modification with Fermi.
The purpose of the modification is to streamline the mass. The original device is too bulky and heavy, and even the [Qiankun Refining] under "Mayfly Dream" cannot withstand it.
In order to avoid them making a fuss, Lin Wen put on the exoskeleton power armor and modified it directly by hand.
Fermi was surprised to find that the progress of the renovation project was so fast, as if it was a cheat.
What is even more surprising is that County Mayor Lin has a very deep understanding of magnetic confinement devices.
This level of depth is even far beyond his.
For example, when it comes to the plasma partial differential equations in nuclear fusion, Lin Wen easily answered several questions that he couldn't solve, and directly told him that this form failed.
For example, regarding stellarators, Lin Wen hit the nail on the head: breaking through the electron barrier requires stellar-level pressure, which is impossible to achieve.
For example, his in-depth understanding of controlled nuclear fusion:
"The real difficulty lies in how to achieve output energy greater than input energy."
The moment he said this, Fermi was convinced that County Chief Lin definitely knew what he was doing.
He is the scientific Sheriff of Lin.
For the first time, Fermi was convinced of this.
The modification lasted two days, and a new, simple, high-tech magnetic confinement device appeared.
Its main part is a huge sphere, which is the cavity used for reaction.
Below are circles of superconducting magnetic coils, which generate the magnetic field that confines the plasma at hundreds of millions of degrees to a fixed position.
In front of the sphere is a huge laser emitter.
That is the ignition device. It will emit ultra-high-energy lasers to heat the heavy hydrogen poured into the sphere to 100 million degrees, igniting the fire of life in the universe.
Lin Wen looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Very good, human history will be created by us."
Although Fermi was astonished by the significant improvement in his magnetic confinement device, he still said worriedly, "Sheriff Lin, although the efficiency has been improved and useless parts have been eliminated, the essence has not changed. Superconducting magnets still have critical currents and critical magnetic fields. Our magnetic field is not strong enough."
The two ultimate problems plaguing magnetic confinement devices are:
First, how strong a magnetic field can we stably generate?
Second, how big can our device be?
These two problems are actually one problem: if the magnetic field is not strong enough, the device must be large, otherwise the 100 million degree plasma will burn through the device.
Superconducting magnets have their limits, which depend on their materials. Fermi used niobium-titanium alloy, which has a very high critical current, but it is still far from enough.
Lin Wen smiled and said, "No problem."
With a single press of one hand, a word of "Mayfly Dream" was taken, and a red light appeared.
【Qiankun Refining】
"Well, it won't have any problems with current flow anymore."
Fermi was incredulous. "Okay? Did you tamper with the modifications?"
The assistant shouted, "Even if this works, what good will it do? The laser emitter isn't powerful enough to ignite nuclear fusion."
Lin Wen continued to take drugs and reached out to touch it.
"alright."
The assistant was almost insane: "What a bullshit! I think you are just like Mr. Li, both are liars!"
Fermi stopped his assistant's nonsense and said, "Sheriff Lin, even if they are good, we don't have fusion fuel, deuterium and tritium."
Lin Wen laughed and said, "As for deuterium and super deuterium, don't use academic terms. Most people won't understand."
Fermi knew that Lin Wen was in favor of popularizing science and technology, and he agreed, but spirit cannot be used to make a living.
“What if there’s no fuel?”
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Of course I have a way. You guys hurry up and install the other facilities. When I come back, I'll ignite the artificial sun."
The assistant was going crazy: "This is just a piece of junk? Where do you get the confidence? Who gave you the courage?"
Lin Wen smiled and replied, "Liang Jingru." He jumped out of the skylight.
Fermi has turned around to contact Zhao Minggong and Yang Shaohu.
This is the most important project in Changshan County at present, without a doubt, and they will definitely concentrate all their efforts to complete it.
Only the assistant was left standing there like a fool.
"Who is Liang Jingru?"
