After Ye Zhou hung up Chen Hao's video call, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. Ye Lan pulled him to the mountain to see the stars for a while--in fact, he wanted Ye Zhou to take photos of her under the Milky Way, but the two of them had to work hard for a long time without understanding how to cooperate with the camera's iso and aperture shutter, so they had to give up.

However, although the Milky Way was not taken, Ye Lan was quite satisfied with the warm yellow portraits under the night sky. After sending her to take a shower and rest, Ye Zhou returned to his tent, turned off the lights, lay on the bed, and entered the simulator.

The first thing he opened was the mall interface. In recent simulations, he had accumulated nearly 300 energy points, and it was time to change to something useful.

What he needs most now is knowledge talent, especially things related to quantum mechanics and high-energy physics. But after looking around, he found that the cheapest knowledge talent in the field of high-energy physics also costs 1,200 energy points, which is not something he can afford now.

In desperation, he had to choose to save energy points first. After all, changing other non-essential talents cannot bring too high returns. It is better to wait until it has been saved in one step.

However, at the current rate of earning 100 energy points per simulation, if you want to change to the talent of the primary level of quantum physics, you may have to simulate at least 9 more times.

By the time these 9 simulations are completed, even the controlled nuclear fusion will be almost done?

Just think about it, this speed is in line with normal logic--theoretical knowledge without material foundation is just a castle in the air. What if you give yourself the unified theory directly?

You cannot see the application prospects and cannot change the status quo immediately.

Therefore, whether it is scientific research or technical research and development, you still have to take it step by step.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou clicked on the simulation selection page.

Before, he had completed the two-stage simulation of the Little Sun, the first-stage simulation of the Mystery of Life, and the first-stage simulation of the Kingdom of Intellectual Machinery. Overall, the first-stage simulation of the three major plots all brought great immediate benefits, but it will take some time to apply the high-energy pulsed laser technology provided by the second-stage simulation of the "Little Sun".

This shows that from the second stage, the technology provided by simulation has gradually exceeded the current technical basic level.

He clicked on the plot title of the third-stage simulation of Little Sun, with four big words on it: Fusion Armor.

The first time when Ye Zhou saw these four words, he almost didn't have to read the introduction to know what direction this was.

It is definitely related to the first wall material of the fusion reactor.

The so-called first wall, which is the layer of material that directly wraps the plasma, is generally tungsten armor currently used. It has the worst service environment in the fusion reactor and the most serious material problems faced.

At present, the main problems faced by the first wall materials include high temperature mechanics, metal activation, welding, plasma control, neutron radiation, etc. The most difficult to solve are the two problems of high-energy neutron radiation and high-throughput deuterium-tritium plasma bombardment.

In a fusion reactor, high-energy neutrons are like bullets shot towards the material, constantly hitting metal atoms in the material, breaking up atomic chemical bonds, forcing the atoms to leave their original position, leaving holes on the surface of the material.

When such pits accumulate, they become damage holes in the macro dimension.

On the other hand, the change of atomic position will continue to accumulate toward the surface area of ​​the material. The process of continuous transfer from the center to the surface will lead to the bulge of the material, which is fatal to the normal service life surface of the material.

The causes of high-throughput deuterium-tritium plasma bombardment are more complicated, involving the circulating reactions of neutrons and lithium, and the circulating fusion problems, affecting the continuity of fusion reactions, bringing ultra-high pressure to the first wall material, and affecting the safety of fusion.

These problems are superimposed, making the difficulty of implementing fusion reactions more than one level. Therefore, in order to truly realize controllable nuclear fusion, the material problem is also a difficult problem that must be overcome.

Can you overcome this difficulty after just one simulation?

Ye Zhou was a little skeptical, but then he thought that in addition to the first wall material, controlled nuclear fusion also faced a series of problems such as plasma constraints, helium ash loss, tritium self-sustainment, neutron radiation, energy derivation, etc. It seems that it is much more reasonable to solve one at a time.

However, now he does not intend to continue to carry out "little sun"-related simulations, because the current domestic technology level is still difficult to understand even pulse laser technology. If new materials are hardened, it will only lead to faults in the technological development, which will be unfavorable to the rapid realization of controllable nuclear fusion.

So he withdrew from the simulation interface of Xiao Sun and turned to the plot simulation interface of "Mystery of Life".

And this time, the second-stage simulation title of the Mystery of Life is even more explicit than the "Little Sun".

"Immune reconstruction".

Ye Zhou did not understand the details of this technology, but he vaguely remembered that a car-t therapy based on gene editing technology, which was once very famous, had achieved good results in mouse experiments, but he had not heard any new news in recent years, and probably had entered a technical bottleneck.

The immune reconstruction technology provided by the simulator is likely to break such a bottleneck.

Then, after this technology is implemented, it will bring great help to both tumor treatment and existing immunodeficiency diseases.

Does this mean that AIDS is no longer an incurable disease? Or, if further development is made, is it possible to develop spectral immunotherapy for viral diseases to immunize all viruses with a shot of vaccine?

Ye Zhou shook his head and did not continue thinking about it.

I'm afraid that this problem needs to be evaluated by experts in the field of medicine and biology. He does not intend to start this simulation before having a preliminary understanding of this field.

Therefore, there is actually only one choice left for him, that is, the perceptual reconstruction technology based on the AES system that he had seen long ago.

The principle of this technology is to directly convert various perceptual signals, such as optical signals, acoustic signals and pressure signals into electrical signals, stimulating the corresponding neural modules, thereby establishing a "false" perception system.

Theoretically, this set of technologies can allow the "brain in the tank" to obtain comprehensive perception, and the scope of application is unimaginable.

Not to mention the most basic application of helping disabled people recover functions, virtual reality games, full-sensory movies, cross-spatial interactions, remote mechanical refined operations... etc., all have very practical and scarce applications.

Especially at a time when the ratio of men and women is seriously unbalanced, such a system may even be developed for some amazing uses.

And this may also be one of the most popular technologies among short-sighted capital.

After all, entertainment is always an instinctive need of human beings...

This is the advantage of this technology, but it is also its original sin. As for how to control the technology to develop in the direction it should go, it is not a problem that Ye Zhou needs to consider - this is a difficult problem left to the general technical department.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou felt a little funny because he discovered a technological paradox.

Technologies that are most likely to slow down or even stop human development are often the fastest development, such as fragmented information, short videos, and meta-universe that have appeared now.

However, technologies that can fundamentally improve productivity are always not paid much attention.

He sighed softly and couldn't help but sigh:

The stars are too far away, and the young lady is too close.

Compared to the stars thousands or tens of thousands of light years away, the young lady with her thighs exposed looks much more real even if she is just on the screen.

However, there is nothing to blame for this.

After all, even if you are so busy that you can't completely resist those things that accurately grasp the needs of human beings.

It's hard not to love it.

Ye Zhou patted his head and confirmed that all the preparations had been completed. He directly clicked on the second stage simulation plot of "The Land of Intelligent Machinery", and a line of big words appeared in front of him.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

I will post a chapter here first, because the next plot is a whole, and there will be a sense of separation between developments.

Before 12 o'clock tonight, we will update chapters 3-4 at one time to finish the whole plot.
Chapter completed!
