The rise of nanometers

During the 2015 Lunar New Year, the related work in Tanggu Base in Mobei did not stop, but entered the final sprint stage.

The Wanfeng team worked almost continuously, and finally completed the construction of the prototype of Yugu-1 on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Beside the huge Yugu-1 prototype, Huang Xiuyuan also took the time to come here through the stand-in robot.

At this time, Yutani No. 1 is undergoing a comprehensive inspection, which is the last inspection before the actual measurement.

"When do you plan to start actual testing?"

Wan Gaofeng thought for a moment: "Maybe the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!"

"Well, I will definitely make time to come over then. By the way, you must be prepared. If Yutani-1 completes the technical verification, I am ready to start deploying Yutani-2 in Australia."

Wan Gaofeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "So urgent?"

In this regard, Huang Xiuyuan could only show his hands: "Mobei is too close to Maozi. Recently, their relationship with Xizhou has become closer. Part of our investment plans in Central Asia have encountered certain resistance."

Hearing this explanation, although Wan Gaofeng is a scientific researcher, he has some understanding of the global situation.

To some extent, a strong polar bear is very dangerous; a weak polar bear is even more dangerous.

After all, when on the verge of death, this polar bear will become more sensitive and manic. Especially at the beginning of this year, Australia's shale oil production increased from 87 million tons last year to 140 million tons.

Obviously, the energy issues within Greater China cannot only be self-sufficient, but can even be exported.

The current shale oil reserves in China and Mobei are about 73.6 billion tons, and Australia's shale oil reserves are about 54.1 billion tons.

Coupled with the huge natural gas, shale gas, manufactured gas and coal chemical industries, Greater China is completely self-sufficient in energy.

However, considering the needs of foreign trade, internal oil and gas resources have not exerted 100% of their production capacity, with only 50% of their production capacity at most.

Other oil and gas resources are imported from Central Asia, West Asia and Africa to reduce some of the trade deficit.

However, as the technologies of Yugu-1 and Jinwu-1 become increasingly mature, the world's energy landscape will further change.

Even if the Suiren Clan and the country intend to suppress it, they cannot hide it for 5 to 10 years.

Why 5 to 10 years?

Because the domestic electricity production cost will experience a clear cliff drop during this period, according to the assessment of strategic think tanks, it is expected that in the next 5 to 10 years, the domestic electricity production cost will drop from the current 0.2 to 0.3 per kilowatt hour. Yuan, dropped to about 0.05-0.08 Yuan per kilowatt hour.

This is a huge energy revolution. Don’t think that the cost of electricity has dropped by 3 to 4 times. This is a small thing.

In modern industry, the direct and indirect costs of electricity in industrial products may reach 30 to 50%. In addition to direct electricity costs and indirect electricity costs, there are also secondary indirect electricity costs.

What are secondary electricity costs?

That is, in industrial production, there are also electricity costs for the manpower, equipment, research and development, etc. used in it.

It can be understood that the cost of electricity up and down the entire industrial chain will be reduced across the board.

This situation will mean an all-round improvement in industrial productivity.

What’s even more frightening is that controllable nuclear fusion will bring about a virtuous cycle, causing production costs to continue to decline over a long period of time.

A hybrid car that costs tens of thousands of yuan now may cost only a few thousand or a few hundred yuan in the future. What an impact that will be.

This is also one of the reasons why Greater China has the confidence to achieve universal prosperity and ultra-high welfare around 2030.

The development of things has both good and bad sides.

After strategic think tanks added the new bargaining chip of controllable nuclear fusion to the future global landscape, Greater China has shown an overwhelming advantage.

However, if this overwhelming advantage is not properly controlled, it is very likely that the global industrial chain will be severely damaged again, triggering a new round of global economic crisis.

Even under such extreme pressure, it is not ruled out that some forces will choose to fight to the death and use nuclear blackmail or extreme means to try to obtain controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Therefore, the Suiren system was established, and it was planned to move most of the controllable nuclear fusion research and development personnel to the isolated overseas region of Oceania.

Especially in Western Australia, which is vast and sparsely populated, it is easy to hide nuclear fusion power plants.

During this period, that is, the next 5 to 10 years, it is a very critical window period. It is necessary to complete the relevant technologies for space immigration as soon as possible, establish lunar cities, space cities, and even realize immigration to Mars.

As long as space immigration is completed during this period and a population of 10,000 to 50,000 is realized, even if the controllable nuclear fusion technology is exposed, other forces will lose the idea of ​​taking risks and become more vulnerable, or even collapse. Lose.

After Huang Xiuyuan inspected the progress of Tanggu No. 1, he came to the artificial ecosystem base in the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert.

Regarding the research on fluorescent fungi, there were many preliminary results last year.

For example, the cryogenic fluid is currently in its second clinical phase. After more than half a year of research, the researchers completed a series of animal experiments and completed the artificial synthesis technology of cryogen.

In the laboratory, after 20 death row inmates were anesthetized, they were injected with cryogen, a polymer compound that allowed these experimental subjects to be frozen without causing cell damage due to the transformation of water molecules during the thawing process.

In the first phase of clinical animal experiments, mice, domestic pigs, macaques, and chimpanzees were subjected to repeated freezing and thawing without obvious side effects.

The 20 animal test subjects with the longest freezing time reached 320 days.

After reading the relevant experimental report, Huang Xiuyuan was not completely relieved because he knew that this freezing technology still lacked some auxiliary materials.

Humans in the future will also develop human hibernation technology based on Yinghuo fungi.

At that time, the technology was in full swing at the beginning, going extremely smoothly, and no obvious side effects were found.

It wasn't until the first batch of human subjects who had been frozen for more than three years were thawed that researchers discovered a big side effect of the technology.

The human body has entered a state of frozen hibernation, and the functions of the body's organs have basically come to a complete standstill. However, there is one organ in the human body that is still in micro-activity.

This organ is the brain.

If it is just a micro-activity state, there is no big problem. The key is that the human brain has a very complex response mechanism.

After entering cryo-hibernation, once the experimental subject is frozen for about 1,000 days, a strange condition will occur, namely memory loss.

According to experimental data in Huang Xiuyuan's memory, if frozen for more than 1,000 days, the brain will permanently lose 20 to 40% of its memory.

Moreover, as the freezing time increases, the memory loss rate increases. Once it exceeds 10 years, only about 1 to 4% of the memory remains.

This phenomenon is called freeze erasure.

After in-depth research, researchers found that some structures in the memory neurons of the human brain will "self-decompose" due to lack of heat exchange for a long time.

According to the normal living conditions of human beings, although the memory neurons of the human brain can memorize a lot of information for a long time, they need to organize, erase and focus on some information regularly.

But cryo-hibernation interrupts this process. Erasing means that certain structures of neurons change, while key memory means transferring information through another transformation before the structure of neurons changes.

The human brain can be understood as a USB flash drive. If the USB flash drive is not used for a long time, the data inside it will gradually disappear or even be completely scrapped.

Therefore, it is necessary to regularly transfer the key information in memory to a new USB flash drive.

Thank you for your support (ω｀). I worked overtime for another day today, and there are only two updates⊙﹏⊙
