I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 713 An Era-Changing Event: The Golden Crow Burns!

Half a day later.

The two arrived at the experimental base located at the highest research institute in Xinyuan City, which specializes in the research of controlled nuclear fusion.

This base is located 300 meters underground in Xinyuan City.

Upon entering, one is greeted by an enormous circular hall.

The place was brightly lit, with a complex network of pipes and lines that resembled the blood vessels and nerves of a giant beast, spreading out all around and eventually converging on the tokamak device in the center, which shone with a cold metallic luster.

Huang Jinzhe and his team, who had been waiting there, quickly came forward with a group of core researchers.

Many people had unusually excited expressions on their faces.

Especially the younger researchers, who basically grew up listening to the legends of the progenitor.

Seeing the creator of this extraordinary human race in person now is naturally incredibly exciting.

Of course, many researchers still have some doubts about whether the ancestor can successfully ignite the flame.

Those who can appear here are not only highly accomplished in the field of scientific research, but are also basically master-level extraordinary individuals.

They had tried to find experts at the Unity Realm to help them, but even those at the Unity Realm were far from being able to access the microscopic level, let alone forcibly bind atomic nuclei together!

According to legend, the Origin Ancestor was a True Spirit Realm cultivator, above the Unity Realm.

No one knows the true strength of a True Spirit Realm transcendent being.

However, nuclear fusion ignition requires precise intervention in the deepest structure of matter within a space a thousand times thinner than a human hair, within a billionth of a second.

Is this level of strength truly attainable by humans?

This question has lingered in the minds of many researchers.

They looked at the young figure with awe, both anticipating witnessing a miracle and finding it hard to believe that mortals could truly possess such power.

"Greetings, Yuanzu and Minister Xie!"

Xia Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Professor Huang, it seems like it's been almost twenty years since we last met!"

Many years later, Huang Jinzhe is still only at the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm.

This cultivation speed is indeed a bit slow.

Moreover, the cultivation resources he obtained were definitely among the most abundant of the entire human race.

Of course, it's not bad that Huang Jinzhe awakened at nearly seventy years old and was able to reach the level of a top grandmaster.

However, he is now over 110 years old. If he cannot break through to the Unity Realm, he will only have less than 90 years left to live.

Xia Yuan was naturally willing to offer some assistance to such a top-notch research talent with whom he had a good relationship.

He can forget about reaching the True Spirit Realm, but helping him break through to the Unity Realm shouldn't be a problem.

"Yes, it's been twenty-three years!"

Huang Jinzhe smiled and nodded.

Although he is 110 years old, the life sublimation brought about by the Transcendent Realm has kept him in good spirits.

However, she still looks much worse than she did more than 20 years ago, and you can clearly see signs of aging on her face now.

After a hundred years of age, the vitality of those who have transcended the mortal realm will gradually decline from its peak, and they will begin to show signs of aging; this is unavoidable.

Unless one can break through to the Unity Realm and leap forward in life level again, even if one's life level is sublimated and transcends to the Mortal Realm, one will ultimately only have a lifespan of two hundred years.

Moreover, judging from the rate at which one's Qi and blood decline, once one exceeds 170 years old, it will be very difficult to break through to the Unity Realm.

Therefore, Huang Jinzhe actually only had less than sixty years left.

"Your cultivation may have fallen behind. Huang Shang has already reached the Unity Realm!"

Upon hearing Xia Yuan mention Huang Shang, a hint of emotion flashed in Huang Jinzhe's eyes.

He used to think that his foolish son would never amount to anything in his life.

But fate is so strange.

First, he experienced the pain of losing his wife, which greatly changed Huang Shang's personality. Then, he met Xia Yuan, a benefactor who changed the world and also changed him and his father.

It must be said that life's encounters are truly unpredictable.

A smile of relief mixed with a hint of self-deprecation appeared on Huang Jinzhe's face:
“That kid really had a stroke of luck to meet you. Now his achievements have long surpassed those of me, his father.”

He meant it sincerely.

Huang Shang is now not only a powerful expert in the Unity Realm, but also one of the three deacons of the Judgment Hall.

In terms of both ability and status, he far surpasses his father, who has always been buried in the laboratory.

Xia Yuan smiled and shook his head.

In terms of contributions to the human race, Huang Jinzhe definitely surpasses Huang Shang.

Just considering the source energy technology alone, it far exceeds the value of a Guiyi Realm.

Without Source Energy Technology, there would be no Source Energy Matrix, extraordinary weapons, or this new Source City.

"Professor Huang, I'll give you a rundown after this experiment is over."

"The Unity Realm is difficult, but it is not necessarily impossible to break through."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire laboratory fell silent.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, looking at Xia Yuan in disbelief, and then at Huang Jinzhe with envy.

To receive personal guidance from the Origin Ancestor, and even have him promise to help him break through, is an incredible opportunity!

You should know that the Unity Realm is a realm that countless extraordinary individuals dream of but can never reach!
This is especially difficult for research-oriented superhumans like them.

If given the choice, who wouldn't want to live longer?
Huang Jinzhe's friend Gao Shan kept giving Huang Jinzhe meaningful glances.
"Okay, let's get down to business first."

Xia Yuan waved his hand, interrupting Huang Jinzhe.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Jinzhe nodded, his expression shifting to the focused and meticulous demeanor characteristic of a scientific researcher.

He stepped aside to lead the way.

"Yuanzu, Minister Xie, please come with me."

"Jinwu-1 is ready, and the relevant parameters and ignition sequence are in the main control room."

The group walked through a wide and clean corridor and entered the core control hall.

Outside the huge circular observation window lies the massive and sophisticated Jinwu-1 instrument.

The cold metallic luster flowed under the light, like a sleeping behemoth.

Huang Jinzhe personally operated the control panel, bringing up a complex energy field model and a dense stream of data.

"Source Ancestor, please look here,"

Huang Jinzhe pointed to the core area of ​​the model, which represents the vacuum chamber where the plasma will be confined.

"All our preliminary work, including vacuum acquisition, magnetic field establishment, and fuel injection, has met design standards. The only obstacle is this final ignition."

He took a deep breath and pointed to the simulated, hot and violent plasma core region in the projection.

"According to our calculations, an extremely high initial thrust needs to be injected into the core the instant the plasma is confined to its densest state by the magnetic field. This time window is only about one billionth of a second."

"This thrust needs to force about one percent of the deuterium and tritium nuclei in the core region through the Coulomb barrier in an instant, so that they enter the distance dominated by the strong interaction force, thereby triggering an ignition chain reaction."

"Conventional heating and compression methods result in significant energy loss during transmission, preventing peak power from ever exceeding that critical point. But if it were you..."

Huang Jinzhe did not say anything more.

Inside the control hall, everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Yuan, and the air was filled with tension and anticipation.

If successful, it would mean that humanity would completely break free from its dependence on Source Crystals in the energy field, and devote those precious resources entirely to the extraordinary realm, ushering in a new era.

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded.

"I understand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes. His true soul surged forth like an invisible tide, easily penetrating the thick protective layer.

The internal structure of the entire "Golden Crow No. 1" device, especially the vacuum chamber that is about to ignite the spark, was clearly incorporated into perception.

The microscopic world unfolded before his eyes once again.

Countless fuel atoms stood ready, like silent soldiers.

"let's start!"

The next moment, Xia Yuan spoke calmly.

Suppressing his excitement, Huang Jinzhe gave the order in a deep voice:

"Golden Crow-1's first ignition test is underway! Countdown begins!"

"ten!"

"Nine!"

……

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Fuel injection! Maximize magnetic field confinement!"

hum! ! !
A deep rumble came from deep within the device, and powerful currents surged through the superconducting coils, generating a powerful magnetic field strong enough to bind the fire of the sun.

On the detector, the data representing plasma density and temperature began to rise rapidly!
The hall was completely silent; everyone held their breath, staring intently at the screen and the enormous object outside the window.

Gao Zheng unconsciously clenched his fist.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Huang Jinzhe's forehead.

Success or failure depends on this!
Just as the plasma was compressed to its limit and the data curve was about to reach its peak!

Xia Yuan captured that fleeting, perfect moment with pinpoint accuracy.

Such a fast reaction time is something that even ordinary True Spirit Realm cultivators cannot possess.

Xia Yuan guessed that at least the strength of the seventh or even eighth level of True Spirit Transformation was required to capture it.

He had a thought in his mind.

The true soul directly traversed space, ignoring all macroscopic barriers, and descended directly into the core of the vacuum chamber!

In that microscopic universe, a silent storm suddenly arose.

The atomic nuclei, which were originally resisting approaching each other under electromagnetic repulsion, were precisely "pushed" towards each other by an irresistible, gentle yet incredibly firm force.

One, two, ten, a hundred, ten million
Under Xia Yuan's control at the limit of microscopic perception, the source energy, like billions of the most skillful hands, completed the precise arrangement and propulsion of a massive number of atomic nuclei in nanoseconds.

The Coulomb barrier has been forcibly breached!
The strong interaction force instantly took over!

Like the first domino to fall.

The chain reaction has begun.
boom! ! !
A powerful, fiery torrent of energy, brimming with boundless vitality, suddenly erupted from the reaction core!
Looking out the observation window.

The vacuum chamber, which had previously only emitted the light of instruments, suddenly lit up with an extremely dazzling light!
The light was so pure, so intense.

It's as if a miniature star has been imprisoned within this human creation!

Immediately afterwards, the energy detector emitted a piercing beep!

On the screen, the curve representing output power resembles a dragon breaking free of its shackles, soaring into the sky.

It instantly far exceeded the baseline representing input power, and it continues to climb steadily!
[Energy gain factor Q value: 1.0 1.5 2.0 3.0 5.0 and it's still rising!]

[Plasma state: Stable!]

[Confinement magnetic field: Working normally!]

[Neutron flux: in line with theoretical expectations!]

A series of exciting data points flooded the main screen like a waterfall.

After a few seconds of deathly silence, the control room erupted in deafening cheers!
"It worked! We succeeded!"

"Q value is over 10! Wow! Stable operation!"

"The neutron detection signal perfectly matches the theoretical expectations! It's fusion! It's real nuclear fusion!"

On the data screen, green data representing successes flashed across the screen.

The energy output curve is like a rocket that has broken free from Earth's gravity, soaring into the sky and leaving the input power curve far behind, and maintaining a stable high level!
A Q value exceeding 10 is almost unimaginable.

This means that the energy produced by the fusion reaction is more than ten times the energy input required to sustain the reaction!
This is almost equivalent to creating a highly efficient, stable, and powerful energy source!

It can be said that the excitement in everyone's hearts at this moment was no less than the shock when Yuan Neng Technology was born!

Huang Jinzhe stared intently at the slowly changing number on the screen.

The Q value eventually stabilized at 15.7!

The researchers were overwhelmed with emotion. Some embraced each other and wept, some waved their fists, and many more looked at the still calm figure with fervent, awe-inspiring, and grateful eyes.

If it weren't for Xia Yuan, it might have taken humanity decades or even centuries to reach this point.

After all, in their original prediction, an energy increase Q of 5 would already be considered extremely good.

Unexpectedly, the Origin Ancestor actually made it reach 15.

This has almost completely reshaped their understanding of energy efficiency.

15.7, what does that mean?
To put it simply, if you invest one dollar, you can eventually earn 15.7 dollars.

Give another example.

Operating at this Q value, just one kilogram of deuterium extracted from seawater would be enough to power a large city for over a century.

This means that the energy shackles on human civilization have been completely and decisively shattered at this moment.

In previous decades, although active crystals could provide energy.

However, the applications of Origin Crystal are mostly in aerospace and other extraordinary fields.

In the fields of people's livelihood and industry, it is simply impossible to use Yuanjing.

After all, there aren't even enough Source Crystals for the cultivation of extraordinary individuals, so how could they possibly be used for improving people's livelihoods?
Therefore, people's livelihoods and industries still rely on traditional energy systems, which to some extent restricts the overall development of civilization.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current highest level of human technology is hundreds or even thousands of years behind the level of everyday technology.

But things are completely different now!

The success of controlled nuclear fusion will also lead to a rapid advancement in civilian technology.

Moreover, it allows for large-scale space manufacturing.

More importantly, the fully liberated Source Crystals will be able to be fully invested in the two most critical areas.

Extraordinary cultivation and deep space exploration.

After all, even if controlled nuclear fusion is successful, it is impossible to install such a large and sophisticated fusion generator on a spacecraft in a short period of time.

Source crystals remain an indispensable top-tier energy source for efficient and flexible deep space exploration.

In any case, the solar system will truly become humanity's backyard.

It is not a private garden for a few, but belongs to all mankind.

If we continue to rely on energy technology, interstellar travel will forever remain a privilege for only a select few.

Take going to Mars as an example; it's impossible to buy a ticket with money, you have to use contribution points.

Moreover, it can even reach dozens or even hundreds of contribution points.

This is almost equivalent to the income of a mid-stage Body Tempering Transcendent being for half a year or even a year.

But now, everything is different!
With the success of controlled nuclear fusion, it is very likely that in the future, one will only need a few hundred thousand Kyushu coins to travel between Earth and Mars.

And this time will certainly not be very long.
