You said you failed your college entrance exam and are now crowdfunding to build a university?

"I have already entered your facial information into the experimental base. You can trigger automatic facial recognition by standing in front of the gate," Wei Ying said softly, offering a reminder.

Everyone's expressions shifted, and they realized what was happening. Qi Limin was the first to step out and stand in front of the gate.

"Beep! Research team member Qi Limin identified. Identity confirmed. Door opening!"

Immediately afterwards, the four-meter-high gate opened with a roar, contracting inwards towards the mountains on both sides, revealing the passage inside.

Qi Limin suppressed his excitement and stepped inside. A few seconds later, the door closed behind him.

"Next." Wei Ying waved his hand, signaling the next person to step forward and verify their identity.

This door is the external defense door equipped in the system's [Research Laboratory]. It is equipped with the world's most advanced super alloy technology and can withstand bombardment with high-yield TNT explosives without being damaged.

Furthermore, only one person can enter at a time when the gate opens. If someone follows behind, a secondary gate mechanism will be triggered, trapping the person behind the gate, making it extremely intelligent.

"I never expected there would be such a hidden world behind the mountain." The members of the research team exchanged glances, their expressions equally shocked.

Many of them had participated in national-level research programs and were familiar with the experimental base.

However, the base of Haichuan University is hidden inside the mountain.

This is equivalent to hollowing out the entire mountain! No wonder some people saw construction teams working busily here before; it turns out this is an experimental base being built!

"Wow!! I suddenly feel like I'm watching a futuristic sci-fi movie; I've only ever seen this scene in movies!"

The students waiting behind stared wide-eyed at this scene, extremely excited, and eager to take out their phones to take pictures and share them on social media.

Unfortunately, their cell phones and electronic devices were confiscated.

Twenty minutes later, everyone passed the facial recognition and entered the experimental base one after another.

Wei Ying stood at the front and introduced the base to everyone: "This base has just been built. To ensure the base's safety, thermal imaging sensing systems are installed on both sides of the corridor. Please do not run inside."

Wei Ying pointed to both sides of the corridor they were walking through, and at the same time, he jogged quickly and personally demonstrated it.

"Bang!" Red light suddenly burst forth from both sides of the corridor, as if someone had invaded. Then, the gate ten meters in front of them crashed down, startling everyone.

"Bang!" At the same time, the gate ten meters behind also fell down, trapping everyone in the narrow passage that was only twenty meters long.

"The passage adopts a segmented structure. Once information that is suspected to be from an outsider is detected, the gate will automatically lower and cannot be opened without the highest level of authorization," Wei Ying's voice quietly sounded.

Upon seeing this, everyone's pupils contracted involuntarily. They had never seen this level of protection in many national-level research bases.

However, the thought that they were researching controlled nuclear fusion, a problem that has plagued the world, quickly put them at ease.

This research deserves this level of protection!

"Alright, let's go to the lab now." Wei Ying waved his hand, used his highest authority to open the gate, and led everyone forward.

After passing through the passageway, we finally arrived at the core area of ​​the experimental base.

"The base is divided into thirty laboratories in total," Wei Ying introduced again, "which are: a thermal laboratory, an optical laboratory, a chemical laboratory, a particle collision laboratory, a nuclear energy laboratory, a neutron scattering laboratory, a high-temperature and high-pressure laboratory..."

These laboratories cover various aspects of today's cutting-edge fields and are extremely well-equipped in terms of hardware.

After the tour, the amazement on everyone's faces never faded.

Especially the members of the research team, they were very clear that although an abacus could be used to develop an atomic bomb, it was the result of countless predecessors' painstaking efforts!

They would naturally be more than happy to have better conditions.

"I've never fought such a lucrative battle in my life! I love this base!"

"Have you noticed the particle lab? It has a super-large high-energy particle collider; there are fewer than ten of those in the world!"

"The thermal laboratory is equipped with a full range of equipment, including a ring-shaped spiral thermomagnetic field device and a superconducting thermo-fusion device, which are essential instruments for generating high temperatures."

"The radiation protection measures in the nuclear energy laboratory are extremely thorough, so there's no need to worry about safety."

After the visit, everyone was incredibly excited and couldn't wait to immediately immerse themselves in the laboratory and begin their research.

The students, on the other hand, were like country bumpkins visiting the city, their mouths agape the entire time.

"Alright, now that the tour is over, let's officially begin the meeting!" With that, Wei Ying gave the order and led the 124 members of the research team into the large conference room inside the base.

As the person in charge of this research project, he had already obtained a complete set of nuclear energy-related knowledge from the system and possessed rich experience in the field.

At the same time, the correct research direction and steps were deduced through the [Simulation and Deduction Classroom].

"First, we need to create a temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, which is difficult to achieve with existing heating devices."

Wei Ying stood at the forefront and solemnly stated his first step in the plan: "Therefore, we must first develop a powerful heating device to withstand temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius!"

"I've named this device the Mountain and River Ring!"

Upon hearing these three words, all 124 members of the research team below showed expressions of surprise.

The next second, Wei Ying drew a simple schematic diagram of the "Mountain and River Ring" device on the blackboard behind him.

The ring-shaped spiral magnetic field accelerates the movement of particles, causing the temperature to rise sharply, thus generating super thermal energy, reaching hundreds of millions of degrees.

"Its structure and manufacturing materials are made of superconductors, and the high internal temperature only exists in the hollow area of ​​the device, so it will not damage the inner wall."

Subsequently, Wei Ying began to focus on analyzing its structural principles and dissected eighty-seven difficulties in the device's manufacturing process.

These challenges are top-tier technological problems of our time, requiring the research team to overcome them. Only after all of them are overcome can the "magical" Mountain and River Ring be truly completed!

Two hours later, "Boom!" The conference room door was flung open.

Qi Limin and others came out excitedly with their manuscripts, which were covered with dense notes.

This was the longest meeting Wei Ying had ever held for them, but not a single word was wasted.

At this moment, everyone felt their minds were incredibly full, crammed with a massive amount of knowledge and tasks.

"People from the nuclear energy research group, come with me!" Qi Limin glanced at the students waiting outside and suddenly shouted.
