Scholar's Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1567: High-Powered Laser Array

"100 meters…"

"50 meters…"

"20 meters…"

"Landing successful!"

As the value on the altitude counter went to 0, the huge silver-white device finally landed steadily on the surface of the lunar soil. From a distance, it looked like a steel stamp for paper contracts.

Gathered beside the cylindrical building, people in spacesuits burst into excitement and cheers.

Although the cheers could only reverberate in the communication channel, it had not weakened the excitement in people's hearts.

After several months of hard work, there was finally a result.

"Finally finished…"

The engineer who drove the fixed support into the surface of the lunar soil was operating the construction equipment. When he looked at the towering fusion power station not far away, he couldn't help but reveal a touch of complexity in his eyes.

Unlike most people here, he was not from Earth; he was a native of the moon.

Although he had been to Earth several times, the gravity there really made him feel unaccustomed, and the "rude" tourists on Earth also made him dislike it.

When the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion experimental reactor project was approved, he was also one of the strikers who firmly opposed it.

Even though his knowledge told him that it would be almost impossible for the pulsed magnetic field to threaten the health of the people of Guanghan City, and even though he knew that the local media companies were producing fake news, he still stood up as an opponent.

One was because everyone was doing this, and the other was that he really disliked those who came from Earth.

However, his opinions had changed a lot in recent months.

Not only because East Asia Energy took in a large number of refugees in Guanghan City during the war regardless of the grievances of the past, but also because of the relief materials provided by East Asia Energy and the attitudes of those who reached out to them.

He couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.

No matter how stiff the relationship between the two parties was, the feeling of blood connection still made the other party regard them as compatriots and extend a helping hand to them.

Later, he began to try to let go of his prejudice and take the initiative to reach out to those on Earth, who he had never wanted to contact before.

Because of work, after several months of getting along with each other, he suddenly discovered that his previous prejudice was so ridiculous, because the engineers, as well as the other workers who came from Earth, were essentially indistinguishable from people on the moon.

He had to admit that his reaction was completely unnecessary…

In fact, it was not just him. The citizens of Guanghan City were all experiencing similar ideological struggles.

Although there was a small group of people who stubbornly believed that this was a sugar-coated effort by East Asia Energy in an attempt to corrupt their iron will, the vast majority of them had changed their previous opinions and turned from opponents of the second-generation controllable fusion project to supporters of this plan.

For those who had yet to decide their stand on this matter, they at least stood in a neutral position.

Thanks to the changes in these people's thinking, the experimental base had not been harassed for a whole year.

Jia Siyuan clearly remembered that many people were clamoring previously, forcing the Guanghan City authorities to cut off the water and power supply to "Nuwa City" and to remove the experts who researched second-generation fusion technology from the moon.

Back then, Jia Siyuan was never bothered by these small problems. Even so, it was still quite interesting to think about it now…

Looking at Xie Tian who was standing next to him, Jia Siyuan asked in a chatty mood, "When the ignition project is over, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm going back to Earth to reunite with my family." Xie Tian smiled when he heard his colleague's inquiry. "I haven't seen them for a whole year."

The experiment of the second-generation controllable fusion technology had come to an end. With the design ideas provided by Academician Lu, the reborn East Asia Energy had once again created a miracle!

They completed the pulsed magnetic field experiment a month ago and successfully confined a group of plasma with a temperature of tens of billions of degrees through the pulsed magnetic field.

Although this number sounded a bit ridiculous, they did in fact achieve this!

Now that the ignition was successful, the last step was to open the gate and inject helium-deuterium fuel into the reaction chamber. After that, they could press the ignition switch.

By then, the reactor would release energy that was beyond the stars, satisfying all their fantasies about future energy.

Originally, they intended to inform the world of the good news immediately, but because Lu Zhou wanted to surprise the people of the world, they delayed the news for a few days.

Back then, in order to complete the Pangu project before Chinese New Year, the Chinese scholars worked day and night. They finally ignited it on the night before Chinese New Year.

Now that they had already completed all the work, they just had to pick an auspicious day to complete the final ignition. In a sense, this was also an improvement…

The voice of a frontline engineer could be heard from the communication channel.

A skilled engineer was directing the construction team to perform the final installation of the deployed cylindrical space equipment.

"Move slowly. This is a high-powered laser emitting array that integrates 200 million dot-matrix laser devices. Be careful not to damage the parts inside!"

Hearing the voice coming from the communication channel, Jia Siyuan cast a curious gaze over there and asked casually, "Speaking of which, I have always wanted to ask, is that thing also part of the second-generation controllable fusion device?"

He was from the electromagnet research institute, and he was mainly responsible for the design of the magnetic field. Thus, he didn't know much about this kind of optical equipment.

This just made him feel puzzled. Wasn't the laser device used for ignition already integrated into the core? Why did they need to install such a large laser array?

Hearing the question from his colleague, Xie Tian shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with the second-generation controllable fusion device itself."

"Then this is…"

The expression on Jia Siyuan's face became even more puzzled, but before he could fully ask the question, Xie Tian showed a smile on his face and continued, "It's part of the cross-regional grid plan.

"It is also our gift to the world!"

Tang Yunge, who was sitting in the office of the scientific research supervisor at the East Asia Energy Headquarters on Earth, had just received a piece of good news from the frontlines.

The high-powered laser array had been deployed and successfully docked with the reactor!

When he heard the news, he got up from his chair and sat down several times with excitement. Other than rubbing his palms, he didn't know how to show his joy.

"Oh yeah, I have to report the good news to Academician Lu as soon as possible!"

Academician Lu was the biggest contributor to this second-generation controllable fusion project!

He immediately opened the holographic screen on the desk, flipped through the address book, and reported the good news to Lu Zhou.

Although he just wanted to send one message, the call ended up taking half an hour.

By the time he ended the call, the excitement on his face had all turned into anticipation and fascination.

All of the preparations are ready!

We just have to wait for the day to come!
