Chapter 100 Sounding the Clarion Call for Advancing Into a First-Level Civilization

To be honest, Yue Yuan did not expect that this proposal would cause such a huge response on the Hope.

"It seems that I have paid less attention to social sciences. If the accumulated problems of society are not solved for a long time, they will definitely erupt one day, and serious ones may even cause internal chaos."

Thinking of this, Yue Yuan felt a little fortunate. Fortunately, these sociology and linguistics experts are not people who are idle, otherwise these problems may be ignored and the best time to correct them will be missed.

Everyone is trying to make their own contributions.

It can be predicted that sociologists and linguists will be busy with the implementation of the "Draft Suggestions on Language and Character Standardization" in the future.

In terms of applied science, the emergence of room-temperature superconductivity has plunged the entire engineering department into the busiest period since the disaster.

After Yue Yuan clarified the timetable, the engineering department formulated two five-year plans.

The first five-year plan: Hope will be renovated from the inside out, and all the previous wires will be replaced with superconducting wires.

At first glance, this plan can be summarized in one sentence, but the actual work is very large. Because the Hope is really big, the total length after expansion reaches 1,180 meters, consisting of twelve large turntables with a radius of 550 meters, and each large turntable has a huge coil in the central axis.

The engineering department now wants to replace all these coils with superconducting coils.

In this five-year plan, the engineering department predicts that it will take about three to four years to complete the update of the twelve coils. If there is enough time left, then the various lines inside the Hope will continue to be replaced with superconducting materials. If there is not enough time, then only the main circuit, cables and components that are seriously heated due to the resistance effect will be updated.

The second five-year plan is related to the fusion engine.

The engineering department must make comprehensive preparations in this regard. Once the nuclear fusion engine is successfully developed and tested, they will immediately organize relevant departments to produce the new finished engine and install it on the Hope.

Because it is unknown when the development will be successful and the test will be completed, the engineering department must prepare for the pre-disassembly of the original fission engine in advance, and the fission reactor on the Hope must also be upgraded to a fusion reactor.

There is a lot of work.

If there is enough time and the nuclear fusion technology is mature, it may be better to build another one.

But there are only eleven years.

In fact, replacing the large turntable coil is easier than upgrading the nuclear reactor, because when the Hope was built, the large coil was basically designed in a modular way. To replace the coil, you only need to remove the original coil and replace it after making the superconducting coil module.

Nuclear reactors are different. They have to be completely disassembled, and then a new nuclear fusion reactor is built in the original location.

The engineering department is busy, and the related industrial production cannot stop for a moment.

It can be predicted that in the next ten years, Ross 154-7 will become extremely busy again, and the large construction site mode will be turned on again.

For this reason, the mining department has already ordered 79 small hydrogen bombs from the military production side to blast the mineral deposits buried deep underground Ross 154-7. I don’t know if the head of the mining department got this idea from Yu Nanfeng.

The precise coordinate map of the mining site is now placed in the office of the Supreme Command. The map accurately marks the location, depth, and hydrogen bomb equivalent to be blasted.

In order to meet future resource needs, Yue Yuan agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, humans can't stay here forever, so there is no need to dig slowly. They can just bomb and blast as long as the seismic waves don't affect the current industrial base of humans on Ross 154-7.

Of course, the small hydrogen bombs used for mining are definitely not directly given to the mining department to detonate, but need to be done by the military. The mining department only provides plans and various parameters.

After all, this is the most powerful killer weapon of mankind at present.

In terms of applied science, the emergence of room-temperature superconductivity has also set off a storm of innovation in the field of materials science.

As a materials scientist, Xu Zhenyi also became busy day and night. He just came out of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Center, and hurriedly explained to his students, and then rushed to the scientific research building.

There, a seminar based on the application of superconducting materials has long been prepared in full swing.

When Xu Zhenyi arrived, scientists from other fields had gathered together.

Even Yue Yuan arrived, but this time he did not stand in the main speaker position, but sat quietly in a corner of the conference room waiting for the seminar to begin.

It is true that Yue Yuan understands technology, but he has not reached the level of mastery in the field. For this kind of scientist-level seminar, he is just an audience, which is regarded as a way to broaden his scientific horizons.

Not long after Xu Zhenyi arrived, the seminar began.

The format of this seminar is different from ordinary meetings. There is no host who speaks from beginning to end, but scientists from different fields express their views on the content of the seminar and put forward their own opinions.

Because it is a seminar on design applications, in addition to theoretical scientists, a large group of applied scientists also came, including Zhao Youqin, Yu Nanfeng, Li Zenglu, Chen Haiyu and others, and even astronomers like Gan De came.

After the seminar began, Xu Zhenyi, as a leader in materials science, naturally took the lead in introducing the main content of this seminar to everyone, and then made targeted speeches.

Application of room temperature superconducting materials.

When ordinary people hear the word "superconducting", they can think of its applications, such as being used as wires, superconducting engines, magnetohydrodynamic generators, superconducting magnetic levitation, large-capacity batteries, etc.

But in the cognition of experts, its applications are more than that.

It can be used in almost all fields currently involved in human society, and even in the manufacture of higher-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance, super particle colliders, more powerful electromagnetic guns, and radars.

Various electronic equipment manufacturing, such as superconducting quantum interference devices, superconducting mixers, superconducting electronic circuits, superconducting particle detectors, etc.

It can be said that the emergence of room temperature superconductors not only makes the Hope look brand new, but also brings about earth-shaking changes in human society.

Because science and technology are all related, this superconducting revolution will sweep almost all human applied technology fields. Even mobile phones, computers and other electronic devices will have a new generation of products.

In the computer field, the "Light of the Milky Way" supercomputer currently used by humans will also be upgraded to a superconducting supercomputer.

None of the humans on the entire Hope will be idle in the next ten years.

It can be said that the emergence of room-temperature superconductivity has sounded the clarion call for mankind to advance into a first-level civilization.

I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day, and please leave your votes.
