Building a Sci-Fi Empire: Starting with Cold Nuclear Fusion

Around 9:40 PM.

After walking around for a while, Chen Yuan took A Yu back to her hotel.

Perhaps because they had resolved their inner conflicts, the two got along very well after leaving the restaurant.

Even after Chen Yuan returned home and took a shower, he chatted with the other person for a long time.

The chat didn't end until around 11 p.m.

Although Ah Yu has hearing problems, Chen Yuan has come to really like this gentle, strong, and understanding girl after spending time with her.

The only regrettable thing tonight was that Chen Yuan's first meeting with A Yu was limited to eating, strolling along Shantang Street, and chatting; he did not have any physical contact with A Yu.

Despite this, Chen Yuan believes he should have a good chance of holding Ah Yu's hand soon.

Because they had agreed that Ayu wouldn't be going back to Jinghai with the company car today, but would instead meet with him again.

Chen Yuan understood why A Yu was willing to see him for two consecutive days.

One reason is that the two spent about 150 days together, accompanying each other day and night.

On the other hand, I think I did a good job last night, which made Ah Yu, who was originally a bit insecure and sensitive, feel comfortable.

In short, they both really liked each other's personalities.

Chen Yuan became even more determined to develop a fully implantable cochlear implant so that A Yu would no longer have to suffer from strange looks.

He should have been asleep by now, but he just couldn't fall asleep.

While Chen Yuan was still thinking about A Yu, he went online to search for information and learned that fully implantable cochlear implants have been developed, but the technology is not yet mature and there are some problems.

First of all, the surgery is very complicated because it involves full implantation.

For this reason, the risks associated with the surgery are also very high.

If not handled carefully, it could potentially cause facial nerve damage, electrode displacement, or other complications.

Secondly, current fully implantable cochlear implants require periodic battery replacements, approximately every five to eight years.

This will not only put a huge financial burden on patients, but also have a physical and mental impact, since surgery carries risks.

Last but not least.

Generally, auditory training is needed for three to six months after surgery to rebuild speech recognition ability.

These drawbacks combined can lead to patients spending a lot of money, time, and incurring significant surgical risks.

Chen Yuan wondered if he could design a cochlear implant that could solve hearing impairment without surgery or with only a minor surgery, based on this foundation.

Thinking about it, he connected to the realm of quantum spirit.

Chen Yuan's consciousness entered a technologically advanced spiritual realm.

He clicked on "Quantum Computing" as always.

I first checked the progress of "cold fusion".

As before, there has been absolutely no progress; we are still in the simulation stage.

This might be the only good news for him.

The fact that the simulation hasn't stopped means there's still hope.

I don't know if it can be simulated.

Chen Yuan felt uncertain and had a slight doubt.

Whether he was simulating a 1175Ah battery cell or a nuclear battery, quantum computing could basically complete the simulation in an instant. However, he spent two or three weeks simulating cold fusion and made no progress at all.

Even if it's truly unscientific and cannot be simulated using quantum computing, you should at least let me know.

As his thoughts raced, Chen Yuan shook his head.

The simulated cold fusion technology has been suspended.

Chen Yuan attempted to "fill" in the simulated cochlear implant technology.

then……

Something surprising and uncertain happened.

The quantum computing simulations that previously went smoothly with 1175Ah battery cells and nuclear batteries have now encountered the same problem as the simulations of cold nuclear fusion when simulating cochlear implant technology.

It was also constantly accumulating and disintegrating particles, endlessly cycling through the process.

Is the technology of fully implantable cochlear implants very complex and requires a long time to simulate?

Chen Yuan stared at the scene displayed on the virtual screen, his heart filled with confusion.

He had just looked up some information and learned that cochlear implant technology is somewhat complex because it involves electronic biological products that convert sound signals into electrical signals. However, no matter how complex these technologies are, they are not much more complex than carbon-14 isotope decay technology.

Chen Yuan guessed that something might have gone wrong, which was why quantum computing was unable to simulate more advanced cochlear implant technology.

So where exactly did things go wrong?

He calmed down and carefully considered the different scenarios in the simulations of cold nuclear fusion, cochlear implants, and battery cells and nuclear batteries.

At first, Chen Yuan really couldn't figure out what the problem was.

After thinking for about a minute or two, he suddenly thought of something.

Whether it's the 1175Ah battery cell or the nuclear battery, he filled in the complete design blueprints when using quantum computing simulations and then "upgraded" them, rather than developing something out of nothing.

Does quantum computing require a technological foundation before it can be "upgraded"?

Chen Yuan thought this was possible; otherwise, why could the 1175Ah battery cell and nuclear battery with the input design drawings be simulated so quickly, while cold nuclear fusion and cochlear implants without design drawings could not be simulated so quickly?

If this guess is correct, all he can say is that he is very likely to actually develop cold fusion!

Why do I say that?

Once this conjecture is proven, it will be enough to show that the reason why quantum computing has been unable to simulate cold fusion technology for so long is because there is no original technology to "upgrade" quantum computing.

If we manage to develop a thermonuclear fusion technology, wouldn't that allow quantum computing simulations to be "upgraded" to cold fusion technology?

Chen Yuan decided to give it a try, to make a bold attempt by taking advantage of a situation that this cochlear implant technology could not simulate.

He searched online.

Several different cochlear implant designs were eventually found.

Chen Yuan was unsure whether these cochlear implant design drawings were accurate.

To be on the safe side, he first withdrew from the field of quantum physics.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes, picked up his phone, and sent Zhang Shulin a message: "Professor Zhang, are you asleep?"

He originally thought that Zhang Shulin, being older, would go to bed earlier.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shulin replied immediately after the message was sent: "Not yet, I'm researching your nuclear battery technology. What's up so late?"

Chen Yuan explained his purpose: "You are an expert invited by Liyao, which is a large state-owned enterprise engaged in the production of medical devices. Could I ask you for a favor? I am very interested in cochlear implant technology and would like to ask you to obtain a cochlear implant design drawing that does not involve confidential information, as well as a series of technical information, from Liyao. If this request is a bit excessive, please don't take it to heart. I am really sorry to make this request so abruptly."

The next moment, a phone call came in.

Chen Yuan answered the call: "Professor Zhang, good evening."

"Good evening, Xiao Chen." Professor Zhang asked with a smile, "Why are you suddenly interested in cochlear implant technology? You wouldn't happen to be thinking of developing a new cochlear implant technology, would you?"

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "I have a very good friend who has a hearing impairment. After she got a cochlear implant, she was always looked at differently. I don't want her to feel inferior because of this, so I was thinking about whether I could try to develop a new cochlear implant technology so that all people with hearing impairments can get rid of this kind of strange look and live more confidently."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shulin said with deep respect, "Although you are young, your thinking is truly admirable. Getting cochlear implant technology is very simple; you don't necessarily have to ask Liyao. I have a friend who is engaged in research and development in this field. He is very famous in the cochlear implant research and development industry. His name is Tang Zhiping, and he is the technical director of Zhejiang Kangnuo Neuroelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. He is known as the core figure in the research and development of 'Huaxia Cochlear Imaging.' He once led his team to successfully develop China's first cochlear implant with completely independent intellectual property rights and achieved large-scale sales, breaking the technological monopoly of countries such as the United States, Australia, and Austria. To put it simply, his research has played a significant role in the fact that cochlear implants in China can now be reimbursed by medical insurance for a certain amount of costs."

He's an absolute master in the research and development of cochlear implant technology!

Chen Yuan was surprised that Zhang Shulin was willing to recommend such a technical expert to him, and quickly said, "Thank you, Professor Zhang."

Zhang Shulin said, "It's alright, I'll contact Xiao Tang right away, and he'll contact you later."

Chen Yuan said, "Okay, thank you. It's very late now. If it's inconvenient for him, he can contact me again tomorrow."

Zhang Shulin laughed and said, "It's alright. If he dares not contact me, I'll deal with him. You'd better wait for the phone to ring."

Judging from this tone, Zhang Shulin and Tang Zhiping have a very good relationship.

Chen Yuan believed that obtaining a design blueprint for a relatively outdated cochlear implant should not be difficult.

So, after saying goodbye to Zhang Shulin, he quietly kept his phone, hoping that Tang Zhiping would call as soon as possible.

I waited for about five minutes.

An unfamiliar number from Zhejiang called.

It goes without saying that it must be Tang Zhiping.

Chen Yuan quickly answered the phone and said, "Hello, Mr. Tang."

A hoarse, middle-aged man's voice came from the other end, "Are you Mr. Chen Yuan? I'm Tang Zhiping, Professor Zhang's friend."

Chen Yuan said, "Yes, I am. I'm very sorry to disturb your rest so late."

"It's alright, I wasn't asleep either," Tang Zhiping said calmly. "Professor Zhang said you're very interested in cochlear implant technology, but it's not something that can be explained in a few words. I heard from Professor Zhang that you studied applied physics, so you might find it a bit difficult to understand cochlear implant technology. So, to help you understand these technologies in more detail, I'll send you some outdated cochlear implant design diagrams and some other materials to your email. Also, I'll be coming to Suzhou tomorrow, and I'll have Professor Zhang introduce you to him. We can sit down and talk about it slowly, and hopefully you'll get a general understanding. Is that alright?"

Tang Zhiping is a very kind person. He is not only willing to provide cochlear implant design drawings and materials that do not involve confidentiality, but also willing to teach face-to-face.

Although Chen Yuan knew that the other party was doing this out of respect for Professor Zhang, he still said very gratefully, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Tang. Shall we meet tomorrow morning? I just don't know if Professor Zhang will be available then."

Tang Zhiping smiled and said, "Okay, let's meet at nine o'clock this morning. Professor Zhang may not be available at other times, but I just called him and he sounded like he values ​​you a lot, so he should be able to make time for you. Alright, I'll send you a few design drawings and some related materials now. Take a look at them tonight, and it will be easier for me to explain them to you tomorrow."

Chen Yuan responded with an "okay".

I gave my email address to the other party.

Immediately, the two said goodbye and hung up the phone.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, Tang Zhiping sent four different cochlear implant design diagrams, as well as more than a dozen related documents.

After receiving the documents, Chen Yuan immediately skimmed through them. Then, he re-entered the quantum mental realm and used quantum recombination to memorize the four cochlear implant design diagrams and ten related documents.

He then started quantum computing and entered the four design drawings along with a lot of information related to cochlear implants.

Start the simulation!

Chen Yuan felt a little nervous because he didn't know if his previous guesses were correct.

If quantum computing still cannot quickly simulate more advanced cochlear implant technology, then it can only mean that his previous guess was wrong, which means that obtaining cold fusion technology is basically a long way off.

What if we can quickly simulate it?

Chen Yuan knew that his ability to change the world's energy landscape was now a foregone conclusion!

Just as he was lost in thought, the particles in front of him converged and gradually formed seven or eight different cochlear implant designs!

It worked!

A more advanced cochlear implant design has been successfully simulated!

Chen Yuan's expression changed, and he immediately understood why he had not been able to simulate cold fusion technology before.

It's because there are no design drawings and related technical data entered!

So, solving this problem is very simple.

All you need to do is obtain the design drawings and key technical knowledge related to thermonuclear fusion and input them into quantum computing.

His heart trembled involuntarily.

It seems that in the near future, I really am going to change the entire world's energy landscape!

Energy is a very important factor limiting technological development.

Once we develop cold nuclear fusion, it could very well propel human technology forward by leaps and bounds.

Chen Yuan had every reason to believe that once cold fusion technology was developed, it would shock the world!
