Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

The Qingluan-class stealth ultra-high-speed aircraft is triangular in shape, a creation that looks more like a missile than an airplane.

It is a 'space plane' that uses the experience of ancient immortals and gods in making shuttles and is made of special extraordinary materials. It can avoid wind and travel through the air, and treats the air in the atmosphere as a vacuum.

The Qingluan-class was originally designed to be mounted on a space battleship as an accessory aircraft to a carrier-based fighter. However, it was discovered that if small unit targets were needed for close combat in the universe, the special design could enhance the extraordinary The exoskeleton armor of the pilot was far more useful than the aircraft, so after a few units were produced, the research and development and production were stopped, and the project was sealed.

Today, the known Qingluan class is used as a fast moving device between bases on the lunar surface, as well as a mobile device in some special areas of the earth.

Su Zhou, Tang Yuan, and Jiang Sheng were sitting in the belly of the plane at the moment. The Qingluan-class aircraft ignited and took off, and Su Zhou even felt a familiar feeling of 'Lan Zhong starting up' - because the next moment, a layer of spiritual wind that blocked air resistance surrounded the aircraft, and light blue firelight It exploded at the tail of the aircraft, accelerating it to supersonic speeds in an instant.

Five seconds later, they were in the middle of the stratosphere.

——It seems that the structure of Lan Zhong can imitate this aircraft next time. It is really not very beautiful to always fly around in the form of missiles and rockets.

Feeling the smooth acceleration of the Qingluan class, Su Zhou's heart moved, and he immediately began to use his spiritual power to sense the structure of the aircraft beneath him.

In this regard, the Craftsman Saint did not express anything, and was even quite happy to see the success.

"Our target is the location of the Zhumu Mass Accelerator in Zangzhou. The speed is very fast."

At this time, the Holy See sat down in his seat unhurriedly, and he showed a rather complacent smile to the two of them: "I am the designer of the core area of ​​the mass accelerator, and I am also the core designer of the scattered spirit restraint structure of the nuclear fusion device. One of the people - I have been busy with this recently, and I am really too busy to keep my feet off the ground."

"As expected of the Master Craftsman, you are truly the pillar of the country!"

"No matter where you are, Professor Su, you are the pillar of civilization!"

Although it sounds like he's complaining, 'This job is so busy,' what he actually means is 'I'm so awesome!' ’.

Su Zhou was very suitable for such a temper. After the two complimented each other based on this point, the topic got down to business.

"The Celestians' spaceship is still stuck around Jupiter according to detection feedback. There are two ways to get there. One of the stupidest is to use a traditional spaceship to fly directly there - and the other is It is a new spaceship that adopts the latest design and is equipped with the Tallinn jump engine."

After all, he is an engineering technician, and the craftsman's words are straightforward.

He pushed up his glasses and directly explained the follow-up plan: "The former is estimated to take several months to fly. We don't have this time to waste, and the new spacecraft has just completed the space test in the past few days and is now in Zhumu. Renovation around Accelerator City.”

"Professor Su, if you want to set off, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a few days, but Captain Kotalen and Captain K-Crow will participate in the mission this time. They are all waiting for you over there."

As one of the most powerful craftsmen in the world, the Craftsman Saint has been responsible for various highly confidential related projects before the appearance of aliens - the mass accelerator and the nuclear fusion scattered spirit structure are only part of them. The first Qingluan class Several core formation hubs were made by him with his bare hands using the 'Tiangong Kaiwu Technique'.

After the appearance of aliens, Master Craftsman has been reversely deconstructing the technologies in various alien spacecrafts and trying to terraform various technologies.

Some time ago, the Earth spaceship, which gathered the core spaceship technology of the Tallinn people and had a jump engine, successfully made a secret test flight. This gave the holy seat a short break, and he was even free enough to come and receive Su Zhou in person.

"The Zhumu Accelerator...'Ladder to Heaven Plan'. Although I know there is such a thing, have you really built an industrial base with a large nuclear fusion reactor as the main energy source in a remote place like Zangzhou?"

Su Zhou thought about this for a while, and found relevant vocabulary and reports from the vast list of various plans in his mind.

——Ladder to Heaven Plan.

Transform a mountain into an accelerating channel for a large mass accelerator, and use it as the source point to create a large space industrial zone, which will serve as the core space center of Zhengguo in the future.

Anything that goes from earth to heaven is a ladder to heaven.

In fact, the Zhumu Mass Accelerator is just the most completed part of the plan. There are also some different models of ‘ladders’ being planned and constructed in several other places in Zhengguo.

Thinking of this, Su Zhou was a little shocked and said: "Is this true? Mount Everest has gradually been transformed into a large mass accelerator, and the Zangzhou area has gradually become a corresponding cosmic industrial center... I originally thought this was Someone was joking, but I didn’t expect that it was not the case, and that it had already been cultivated?”

“Since when did we have engineering capabilities like this?”

"This is no joke...and Professor Su, you may be a little underestimating the recovery of spiritual energy, as well as various technologies, especially the productivity brought about by nuclear fusion power generation, and the explosion of engineering capabilities."

Hearing this, the Master Craftsman shook his head slightly: "The difficulties in construction in Zangzhou are nothing more than the physical condition of the personnel and the cost. And now, among those who have practiced Buddhism, who will have altitude sickness? And when nuclear fusion power generation is officially launched , the cost that was originally unattainable now seems to be no problem at all.”

"But I remember, hasn't it been completely practical yet?"

Su Zhou does not know much about this aspect. He has actually been very busy recently and has not delved too deeply into matters other than his responsibilities.

"It's just that it has not been fully civilianized. In many independent industrial cities and pilot operation areas, various changes brought about by nuclear fusion have begun to take shape, which also strengthens our idea of ​​​​completely popularizing it in the future."

The craftsman shook his head slightly. He turned his head and looked at Tang Yuan, who was looking sideways at the scenery outside the aircraft, and said with his eyes: "Your secretary may know more about this than you do."

"Huh? Yes, Minister!"

Although he seemed a little panicked when he was named at first, after all, he was someone who often dealt with Su Zhou and various saints. Tang Yuan quickly calmed down, nodded and confirmed: "A year and a half ago, the first few nuclear fusion power generation units The station is connected to the power grid, and electricity prices have dropped a lot.”

"You see, in every city everyone turns on the air conditioner casually - although there are very few people who really need it now."

"Is that so?"

Opening his eyes slightly, Su Zhou suddenly became a little annoyed: "I wasted my claim to be an innovation, but in the end I never paid attention to this aspect!"

Although that is said, it is not entirely Su Zhou's problem - after all, he has been performing missions back and forth in the past two years, jumping repeatedly between other worlds and the earth.

Just like the Qingqiu Star incident, it took almost a year to come and go. Counting the subsequent trip to the reincarnation world, it took a year and a half.

In addition, given his strength, he has indeed not acted among the people for a long time, so he will naturally be somewhat out of touch with the development of contemporary society.

In one and a half years, even the world before the revival of spiritual energy can make people feel that it has changed rapidly, not to mention the explosion of various technologies after the recovery of spiritual energy and the improvement of human body quality in all aspects, which will definitely cause extremely huge changes.

However, Su Zhou is not stupid either.

From Tang Yuan's narration and the few details added by Master Craftsman, he already had a rough idea of ​​the various changes in the earth during this period.

Since four years ago, various Taoist techniques and ancient inheritance have been restored. Globally, the pace of nuclear fusion utilization, which was still in the exploratory period, has accelerated rapidly. In just two years, it has gone from the initial test operation to ' became 'civilian operation'.

Of course, there is a reason why countries must move forward as much as possible to seize the opportunity of the times, but the most important reason is that countries have already had corresponding mature designs and only need to wait for the recovery of extraordinary power to fill in the last piece of the puzzle.

And what kind of change will this have on the world?

Tang Yuan said that the electricity bill has plummeted to less than one-twentieth of the original price. You can turn on the air conditioner and use electrical appliances at will, and the price is almost free. This is of course the most significant significance from the perspective of ordinary people.

But if you think about it carefully, you will know what a major 'change' and 'innovation' this is to today's world operating system!

Su Zhou could immediately think of industries that required a large amount of power, and the production capital dropped countless times... such as metal refining, mechanical processing, chemical industry, etc.

Among these heavy industrial industries, the power consumption of many of them is just one machine, which is comparable to the electricity consumption of a small city. Their operating costs are millions and tens of millions once they are started, but because of nuclear power The existence of fusion will be reduced to an extremely low level at this moment.

In addition, there are chemical fiber industries such as papermaking, glass, electrolytic aluminum, and various light industries, whose production costs will also be greatly reduced, whether in construction, transportation, or household appliances, which are closely related to people's livelihood. Related industries will also see a huge plunge in production and operation costs.

It sounds complicated, but it's actually very simple.

Because electricity costs have dropped, the costs of metal smelting and chemical production have also dropped, followed by a drop in the prices of these basic materials - and the drop in the price of basic materials means that the costs of other subsequent processing and produced products will also drop.

In other words, the prices of food and commodities will become cheaper, people's living and consumption standards will be greatly improved, and it will be rare to see people starving to death.

Exaggeration? not at all.

Moreover, if nothing else, once the energy problem is solved, many things that are not impossible but unwilling will be realized.

——For example, a high-density three-dimensional crop cultivation shed that uses solar lights for cultivation 24 hours a day throughout the year.

——Northern region, redevelopment due to cheap heat supply.

——Large-scale seawater distillation equipment will solve the water crisis.

——Mountain development will be more convenient than imagined, and giant buildings and large-scale geological transformation will become a reality.

These are not technical issues at all, but merely cost issues. People-friendly plans and technologies will further bring about changes in productivity.

The earth is far larger than humans imagine. Without energy checks and balances, countless inhabitable areas on this planet will become habitable. Not to mention that there are other major realms outside the earth. The increase in exploration intensity brought about by the increase in productivity will also bring about many changes.

What kind of world will the ensuing chain reaction create? Just thinking about it, Su Zhou couldn't help but feel a little happy.

And, besides that.

Sitting in his seat, Su Zhou raised his head, his gaze penetrated the invisible armor and coating of the Qingluan-class aircraft and went straight into the sky.

"Like, that thing, right?"

Su Zhou smiled and looked into the universe. The Craftsman Saint was a little surprised at first, but soon smiled and said: "That's right."

"The scale of space stations in various countries is expanding. Our related space race projects are trying to build large space ports and small space cities."

Having said this, the Master Craftsman couldn't help but take off his glasses. In his hands, the glasses began to deform like magic, and finally turned into a small 3D projection device, and transformed a mountain range and the mountains attached to the mountains. A giant mechanical structure appeared in mid-air.

This mechanical structure looks a bit like a huge in-shaped slide, and the track of the slide stretches so long that it cannot be completely seen until the end of the projection.

That is the preview of the ‘Zhumu Mass Accelerator’.

A super giant artificial structure attached to the highest peak on earth.

Staring at the 3D projection in his hand, the Master Craftsman's eyes were soft and filled with countless expectations.

"Although, with the excellent resources of the earth and other realms, space development is not something that is urgent. But because of the existence of aliens, its development is still a top priority."

"The mass accelerator gives us the ability to build these things, but the power consumption of the mass accelerator makes it completely impossible to run it at low cost using traditional power generation."

With that said, the Master Craftsman showed Su Zhou and Tang Yuan the projections of four giant cylindrical buildings located around the mass accelerator - those were four nuclear fusion power plants, which were enough to supply the huge energy of less than half of the country in the past. , now only used for a giant building.

"Amazing! However, if that's the case, then why not build more and simply make the electricity bill free? There is still a huge gap between charged and free."

Su Zhou's sincere admiration made the anticipation and smile on Master Craftsman's face become even more cheerful. He stopped his hand, turned the 3D projector back into glasses, and put them back on his head.

He raised his head with a long look: "In the past, human beings on earth fought with each other for energy. Crude oil, coal, and natural gas. In order to compete for these things, human beings launched countless wars."

“The energy war more than forty years ago almost destroyed these traditional industries. Although almost everyone was desperate at that time and could only place their hope on the recovery of spiritual energy, it seems now that because of the energy war, These original industries have been destroyed, so the development of nuclear fusion and related new energy sources has not been hindered too much, and its replacement will not cause too much shock."

Hearing this, Su Zhou nodded slightly. The rejection of new things by old things is the most difficult part of all innovations.

But then, the Master Craftsman's tone suddenly changed.

"Nuclear fusion is a technology that can change the destiny of mankind. Especially because of extraordinary skills, nuclear fusion generators can be easily constructed and popularized with almost no pollution. In the future, it is possible to make them lighter and smaller. That is what I The goal to strive for in the future life.”

Obviously at the beginning, the Master Craftsman's speech was extremely firm, but after he spoke, his expression suddenly became solemn.

Just like the face-changing scene in Sichuan Opera, it was cheerful and joyful a moment ago, but suddenly it became dull.

He looked at Su Zhou and let out a long sigh: "As for why it is not fully popularized for civilian use, and the current policy of building separate urban areas around nuclear fusion power generation facilities, the reason is actually very simple."

"Professor Su, Secretary Tang, you should all know that there have been some 'spiritual enlightenment' incidents that have been making a lot of noise recently."

Of course.

Both of them nodded in unison. The discussion and worries surrounding the in-vehicle AI ‘瀮’ between Dao Sheng and Yan Sheng happened not long ago, and their memories were still very clear.

And what the Master Craftsman was going to say next, they all understood in an instant.

"Yes. That's it. After all, most spiritual energy in this world will naturally converge towards low-entropy bodies."

Smiling somewhat reluctantly, the Master Craftsman said with a trace of anguish in his tone: "Just like the strongest natural spirit holder in the entire galaxy system must be a star, the nuclear fusion power station is a star on the earth. Burning little star.”

"It has nothing to do with radiation. The density of spiritual energy around it is so high that it is even more effective than a giant fire-attributed spirit-gathering array. If fire-attributed spiritual objects are placed around it, it will take less than a year and a half to gather them. The spirit is successful - some time ago, we artificially cultivated the first batch of artificial 'fire spirits', and at this rate, it is a certain fact that the Jinwu inheritance will be restored within three years."

"In such a spiritual environment, even a thought can make dead things become spiritual."

Having said this, the Craftsman Sage smiled solemnly: "And the nuclear fusion power station...its existence itself is the center of countless people's spiritual sustenance."

"In this era, people who used to have expensive electricity bills will naturally have thoughts and pin their thoughts on it every time they turn on their appliances, every time they use low-priced services, every time they enjoy the benefits of nuclear fusion... In addition, our nuclear fusion power station originally used a lot of Golden Crow structures in order to be stable and easy to control - which makes it really easy to activate."

"Even if we apply the Spirit-Losing Talisman, if the power of wish is too great, it is not impossible to directly force the Spirit-Losing Talisman itself to open the spirit!"

"..."

Hearing this, not only Tang Yuan, but also Su Zhou looked shocked.

But having said that, it is indeed not impossible.

In the final analysis, the scattered spirit rune itself is also a spiritual power structure, and its effectiveness has an upper limit - it is normal for it to fail if it exceeds the upper limit.

There are indeed advantages and disadvantages to the revival of spiritual energy, especially for human civilization that wants to explore a new path.

However, Su Zhou felt a little strange when he heard this.

"So, is the purpose of everything to prevent the willpower from getting out of control? In order to avoid disasters caused by loss of control, and to avoid excessive concentration of the willpower, the city was built around it separately, so that the entire city collectively shouldered the willpower instead of a single power generation device. force."

He frowned slightly and said, "If that's the case, then why not directly guide the power of wishes to form a 'god of nuclear fusion'? Or create an artificial god and let a Taoist cultivator with the blood of the Golden Crow carry these power of wishes?"

Yesterday’s update…

Some things have been delayed. There will be an update later. Let’s take a break now.
