Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 128 Breakthrough in Controlled Nuclear Fusion

"What's wrong? Is there some new technology again?" Ma Zhengzhong looked up from in front of the screen, his tired expression mixed with a hint of anticipation.

Qiao Yuwei quickly went to the computer and entered some data.

Soon, a metallic material structure appeared on the screen under the simulation of the supercomputer.

"This..." Ma Zhengzhong looked at the projected data given above, as well as its most obvious characteristics.

Deformation occurs, but strength remains unchanged!

This is the biggest problem they are facing in their structural adjustment.

More importantly, this type of metallic structure can be manufactured using current technology.

After all, there's a saying that materials science is like playing the lottery. You never know what kind of material you might casually manufacture that doesn't meet current needs might be incredibly hard to find at some point.

However, once some materials are manufactured, not all of their properties are detected immediately; only the properties needed at that time are tested.

Therefore, there will indeed be a lot of materials that are only initially recorded.

But more often than not, it's because there hasn't been a specific study conducted.

After all, not all metallic materials are produced using traditional methods.

Frowning as he looked at the data provided by the supercomputer, he couldn't help but make up his mind.

Time is running out, so there's no need to hesitate!

They immediately began preparing the materials. With the abilities of two people and a sufficient supply of materials, they quickly met the preparation requirements.

As the device was started and materials were put in, Ma Zhengzhong's mental energy remained focused on the instrument.

"This requires powered technology; otherwise, it would take at least half a month to make such a device, and it wouldn't be this small," Qiao Yuwei couldn't help but sigh.

Ma Zhengzhong remained silent, as he was not entirely opposed to using source energy technology.

However, the overall effect of this device is still within the technological system of Earth.

In other words, we are using source energy technology now because we are in a hurry.

It is also possible to do this using purely Earth-based civilization technology.

After the metal material was successfully manufactured, Ma Zhengzhong began to conduct tests on its various characteristics without hesitation.

From radiation resistance to high-temperature impacts, from the effects of gravity to changes in magnetic fields.

Seeing that the data stability of this metal material basically met the actual needs, Ma Zhengzhong finally put on a smile.

"That's it, that's it!" He had finally found the material he needed!

The next step is to incorporate it into the current structure and let real-world conditions further test its effectiveness.

Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood and under the influence of dopamine, he felt that his thinking speed had improved a lot, and even inspirations came one after another.

The original structure was modified to better suit this new material.

"Alright, now let's reshape it according to this structure! This time, we'll definitely succeed!"

Looking at Ma Zhengzhong's tired yet slightly excited expression, Qiao Yuwei felt a pang of heartache.

While recording the structure, he said to him, "Have you forgotten that today is the official start-up day of the Yuan Neng Power Plant?"

The smile on Ma Zhengzhong's face gradually disappeared. "So, no one else is coming to help for the time being?"

Meanwhile, in the control room of the power plant, a message came through the communication channel that basic checks had been completed and everything was safe.

A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the professor in charge of the construction, and his raised right hand trembled slightly.

At the same time, Eagle Country First Base, Cow-Chicken Joint Base, Big Bear First Base, Hanscat First Base, White Elephant First Base, and Camel Alliance First Base all received a video signal.

"What's going on with this signal?"

They all had this question because, although they had expected the network to be restored, this was not the case.

However, some people don't want others to know their current situation, while others simply want to "make a name for themselves".

Therefore, although they detected the restoration of the global satellite network, they did not announce it to the outside world immediately.

Meanwhile, some originally small countries have started sending out messages to demonstrate their "great strength".

Some countries have even issued a "New World" declaration, stating directly that the original five major powers of Earth have all been destroyed and that they are now the strongest countries on Earth!

Yes, it wasn't said from the peninsula.

However, this time, faced with this sudden video signal, those countries that had been 'arguing' about who was the strongest power on Earth were suddenly rendered speechless.

"The video has started."

Researchers from several major countries were trying to trace the source of the signal while keeping an eye on the content on the screen.

Soon, the answer was revealed—

"It's the Dragon Kingdom!"

"I knew it!"

"How come he recovered too? Didn't you say their population size would lead to internal strife?"

"Haha, it's only natural that the Dragon Kingdom is involved in this new competition!"

The reactions varied, but none of them seemed inclined to cut off the video signal.

Instead, they wanted to see if, under this environment, China would release "exceptionally" advanced technologies as it had in the past!

Soon, an image appeared on the screen.

Starting with a bird's-eye view, the altitude was gradually lowered, allowing the content to be displayed to various countries.

"What is this? A power plant?" The president of the United States yawned and looked at the chief scientist to the side.

"Well, based on the current external components, it's very likely a power plant."

"I just don't know how it generates electricity." The chief scientist adjusted his worn-out glasses, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Because he was also unsure of the effectiveness of some of the components.

"Hehe, I think Dragon Country has really fallen on hard times this time! They only built one power plant and then broadcast it to the whole world. So what if it's a nuclear power plant? Our country can build ten nuclear power plants in no time if we want to!" The president of White Elephant Country stroked his now-black beard and laughed triumphantly.

"The Dragon Kingdom dares to display such advanced technology, it must be very advanced. How is our long-range aircraft technology? We should form a delegation as soon as possible to conduct technical exchanges with the Dragon Kingdom!" At the Camel Alliance base, as the Camel King spoke, everyone nodded in unison.

At that moment, text descriptions began to appear in the video.

Then they saw a dozen soldiers herding hundreds of energy beasts like sheep into a pool-like device next to the building.

Just as they were wondering why these energy beasts weren't resisting, something surprising happened the next moment.

As the water filled the container, they could see the previously unresisting energy beasts frantically attacking the edges of the container, trying to break it open and escape.

However, not a single trace was left.

It was quickly submerged by water and then disappeared just as quickly.

The water in the container turned dark green and was then introduced into the building.

As the power plant came fully operational, introductory text appeared in the video.

"The pure energy-driven power station can generate 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per day and produce energy batteries with a storage capacity of 5 million kilowatt-hours!"

We plan to restore the nationwide power grid within a month!
