Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

"???"

Holos rubbed his head, bewildered, and stood up.

No, guys, what's going on?

Wasn't that just an eye contact, meant to intimidate this Eevee?

Why did you suddenly let go? I fell flat on my face.

Then, he turned his head and saw Old Zhu standing at the door.

Just like when a student sees their homeroom teacher's head peeking out of a small window during self-study, Horus is instantly startled awake!

"Hello, Mr. Zhu!"

……

The research lab has finally quieted down.

Ibu glanced at Horus with a somewhat frightened look and began to explain the situation of the Totemka civilization.

"We are the Totemka people, born from the ocean. After tens of millions of years of development, we relied on a certain thermal fluid existing on the seabed to develop civilization and enter space. However, who could have imagined that our star system undergoes a great shift every once in a while, and that the Tona people, who have also entered space, would take this opportunity to invade us!"

Speaking of Tona people,

Ibu's vocalizations quickened, clearly indicating a very urgent inquiry:

"Where are the Tona people? Where are the Tona people who chased us?!"

"We also 'invited' them over."

Old Zhu nodded, turned his head to look at the accompanying soldiers, and said softly:

“What the Naton man said was basically correct; he wasn’t lying!”

"Great!"

Upon hearing that the Tona fleet had also been captured, Ibu breathed a deep sigh of relief; at least their home planet Taino was safe for the time being.

Then, Ibrahimovic began to tell the story of his Totemka people.

Fang Jing and the others also learned what kind of civilization the Totemka people were through this.

They have a clear history.

They originated from a type of deep-sea jellyfish, which lacks a notochord but evolved a similarly efficient nervous system through a wrapping system, thereby giving rise to considerable intelligence.

Originating from the ocean means they can only embark on a long evolutionary path.

In the beginning, they were like orcas on Earth, possessing a simple vocal language system, and were a highly intelligent nomadic hunter-gatherer group in the ocean.

If there are no unexpected events,

They will eventually perish, just like other species, as their home planet's environment evolves!

but,

While wandering in the ocean, they discovered a gift from nature: a mysterious hot fluid on the seabed.

With this thermal fluid, they had a home!

The Totemka people abandoned hunting and gathering, began cultivating seaweed and raising animals, and formed settlements.

After the settlement was formed,

Their language system began to evolve rapidly. Because the hydrothermal fluids were on the seabed, where they lived for extended periods without sunlight, their language developed into two types: sound waves and light signals. Increasingly complex languages ​​emerged, along with a growing body of experience.

Oral transmission could no longer satisfy the ever-growing need for the inheritance of experience. Finally, with the discovery of a type of underwater diatom relic capable of storing light signals, the primitive Totem Ka people settlement finally reached its limit!

Civilization was born!

They developed technology, expanded their territory, developed civilization, and formed "nations";

At last,

Heading towards the boundless starry sky, right now!

In fact, the history of the development of every civilization is an epic saga.

This includes the subversion, decline, and rise of civilizations, the brilliance of intelligent individuals, and countless other stories.

"Wait a minute, you just said that it took you tens of millions of years to develop from the primitive era to the information age, but only fifteen years to go from the nuclear energy age to the fusion age?"

Horus suddenly interrupted Ibu, looking at him with a surprised expression.

"That's right!"

Ibrahimovic nodded; he remembered it clearly—it was still fifteen years ago.

"Wait, how many years did it take us to go from mastering nuclear fission power generation to nuclear fusion power generation?"

Fang Jing also realized the problem and asked the AI ​​assistant a question in confusion.

"It took eighty years from the completion of the first nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union in 1954 to the completion of nuclear fusion technology by the major Eastern power in the 21st century."

It took humanity eighty years to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

And Totem Card has only been around for fifteen years?!

"How did you do that?!"

Fang Jing and Holos asked at the same time.

"Hey, is this technology difficult? A mixed fluid will emerge from the heat currents on the seabed of the home planet, and that mixture will undergo a fusion reaction on its own, right?"

Seeing the surprised expressions on Holos and Fang Jing's faces, Ibu asked in confusion:

"Just put a reactor over that thing, and it's ready to use. It's that simple! Isn't that how you do it?"

It's that simple, isn't it? You put a reactor in it and it'll automatically start a fusion reaction?

Horus and Fang Jing took a deep breath, turned their heads and looked at each other.

Yes, my fist is hard now!

Scientists from a civilization of humans and engineers who spent nearly a century developing fusion technology would skin you alive if they heard you say that!

Chapter 495 Your mouth is too foul!

Listen to what you are saying?

Is controlled nuclear fusion technology difficult?

Where do you think the name "Forever Fifty Years" came from?

It was the kind of difficulty that scientists have been studying for decades and still can't figure out.

result,

You, some kind of Totem Card person, managed to develop it in fifteen years using some kind of hydrothermal fluid from the seabed?

The key is that if you diligently research for fifteen years and overcome the relevant technical challenges, Horos and Fang Jing won't find it problematic.

But in those fifteen years, fourteen of them were spent looking for heat fluids, and another year was spent building reactors.

That is,

The Totem Card Man completed controlled nuclear fusion in just three steps.

The first step is to understand what controlled nuclear fusion is; the second step is to find deep-sea hydrothermal fluids; the third step is to build a container to enclose it and use it as an energy source.

This,

This is definitely a gift from nature, right?!

"What, did I say something wrong again?"

Ibrahimovic felt wronged and had to be careful with his words to avoid angering the "aliens".

He's having such a tough time!

But whether or not to say it is something I should say.

That's their history. They really succeeded in controlling nuclear fusion, and because there was so much hot fluid in the three planets, they couldn't possibly use it all!

"It's nothing, I'm fine!"

Horus clenched his fist, his brow furrowed, and gave Ibrahimovic a sinister smile.

Damn it, no wonder the Tona people want to take your territory.

Too rich!

A certain Middle Eastern country is "rolling in money," and the Totemka people's wealth is directly flowing into controlled nuclear fusion!

To be honest, with such a unique advantage, let alone the Tona people, even if human civilization lived next door, they would still come over to take advantage of it.

It’s so outrageous!

If human civilization struggled to enter the interstellar age, then in stark contrast, the Totemka people entered the interstellar age with a simple click.

"No wonder they're still using smoothbore cannons; their tech tree has gone completely astray."

Horos's lips twitched.

I was envious, but not completely envious.
