In the information age, information spreads extremely quickly.
In just a few hours, all the news about what happened in the United States was leaked to the Internet.
Even the official Weibo account of Xiaguo News posted a message.
"Like the United States, everything Xiaguo does is for the development of mankind!"
This scarf received countless likes and comments in just a few minutes!
"Good fellow! I just call him good fellow!"
"That makes sense. Everything we do is to fight aliens! As for who the aliens are... ahem! Those who understand will understand!"
"Fuck! There's a genius upstairs!"
"To be honest, this situation should be considered as Arms Race 2.0, right?"
"Be bold and remove the word 'should'!"
"To be precise, this should be called the Space Race!"
"No more talking. I bet Xiaguo will win! As for why... it's because we have Professor Lu and they don't!"
…
Beijing, within the first ring road.
Councillor Li sat quietly in his office with a document on the desk in front of him.
The content of the document is the details of the US Pathfinder Program!
"hehe..."
Speaker Li chuckled and threw aside the document recording the details of the US Pathfinder Project.
"Minister He, next, we will begin to gradually reduce the scale of unimportant industries."
"All resources of Xia Country will be provided to the Space Agency first!"
Xia's Finance Minister He Zhiye's pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Chairman, this, this will probably have a huge impact on Xia's economy!"
Councillor Li glanced at He Zhiye calmly and said softly, "This is an order."
"In addition to reducing the scale of unrelated industries, from today on, the export of any resources is prohibited!"
"In addition, import steel and various mineral resources from abroad at all costs!"
"Remember! This is an order!"
He Zhiye's pupils trembled violently!
He didn't even dare to imagine what impact these orders would have on the current Xia Kingdom!
"These measures... should be implemented slowly so that the public does not notice anything unusual." Councillor Li pondered for a moment and added, "Xia Country cannot afford to suffer too much at present."
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
He Zhiye swallowed slightly and shouted loudly with a firm look!
…
Lu Yongchang, who had been "secluded" in the office for several days, naturally had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
Of course, even if he knew, he would probably just sneer at best.
What kind of competition are we still holding at this hour?!
Not to mention, at this moment his mind and eyes were filled with all kinds of complicated formulas.
The huge desk is already piled with all kinds of draft papers covered with handwriting.
"Bang!"
Lu Yongchang let out a long sigh and slammed the pen in his hand on the solid wooden desk.
"Success..."
He stared blankly at the draft paper in front of him and muttered to himself.
On the draft paper, there was a series of extremely beautiful formulas!
He rubbed his red eyes and took a deep breath.
After three days!
During these three days, except for the necessary time for eating and sleeping, he never stopped writing!
His hard work paid off, and he finally succeeded in establishing a mathematical model of the sonoluminescence phenomenon!
Looking at the mathematical model he had spent so much effort to build, Lu Yongchang filled in the various parameters with a nervous look on his face.
Soon, the calculation results came out.
Looking at the calculation data on the draft paper, Lu Yongchang's pupils suddenly shrank!
He never imagined that this kind of material would be needed to achieve small-scale controlled nuclear fusion!
Lithium metal!
The various properties of metallic lithium instantly appeared in his mind.
Lithium is a metallic element. Its single substance is a silvery-white soft metal and it is also the metal with the lowest density.
The melting point is 180.54℃.
From this perspective, metallic lithium can really be used as a "solution".
After all, it only needs to be heated to above 180.54°C to turn it into liquid.
Lu Yongchang looked at the calculation results in front of him and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, although using liquid lithium as a reaction solution is somewhat unexpected, it makes sense if you think about it carefully!
After all, metallic lithium also has its unique uses in atomic reactors.
While thinking about the feasibility of using liquid lithium as a reaction solution, he stood up from his chair and walked slowly towards the office door.
…
"Click…"
The sound of the office door opening immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the laboratory.
"Yongchang, you finally came out!"
Fang Xu's eyes lit up, and he was the first to go to Lu Yongchang and asked, "How's it going? Have you solved it?"
Lu Yongchang raised his head, shook the draft paper in his hand, and nodded slightly.
"Wow! You have dark circles under your eyes!" Fang Xu was shocked when he saw Lu Yongchang's face. "You haven't slept for the past three days?"
Fang Xu's reaction obviously scared Lu Yongchang.
He paused, then subconsciously raised his hand to touch the area around his eye sockets: "It shouldn't be that exaggerated... I've slept for 10 hours in total in the past three days!"
Fang Xu looked strange: "...10 hours?"
"Okay, you should go to sleep first!"
"If you suddenly die because of this, won't Chairman Li peel off my skin?!"
Lu Yongchang waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, it's okay."
"Do the experiment first, we don't have that much time to waste!"
Seeing Lu Yongchang's look, Fang Xu could only look at the researcher beside him helplessly, and then sighed softly.
"Okay, you're the boss of the lab, you have the final say."
"Well, what do you want us to do?"
Hearing Fang Xu's question, Lu Yongchang subconsciously turned his head to look at the reaction container placed aside.
He frowned slightly and shook his head slowly: "No! We need to change the container!"
"Contact the factory, we need to order a special container!"
When Fang Xu heard this, his brows furrowed.
"A custom container?"
"This will take quite some time... I'll let the factory know in advance what solution you're going to use."
As he spoke, Fang Xu picked up a piece of paper and a pen and prepared to record Lu Yongchang's requirements for the container.
"Liquid lithium."
Lu Yongchang's calm words echoed in the laboratory.
Fang Xu's movements paused for a moment.
The next moment, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Lu Yongchang in front of him with horror, and exclaimed.
"What?!"
"Liquid lithium?!"
"This...this is too dangerous!"
You know, lithium is the most active metal among known elements!
Therefore, lithium is extremely dangerous!
If you are not careful, combustion will occur, followed by an explosion!
