Chapter 287: With Su Xin Joining, Controlled Nuclear Fusion Is a Sure Thing!

After the meeting ended.

Su Xin and Liu Qingli came to the office to continue discussing the changes brought about by room-temperature superconductors.

"Beyond the technological revolution, the biggest impact room-temperature superconductors will have on the market is on upstream raw materials."

"Although we don't expect to fleece the whole world through raw materials, we absolutely cannot allow major international capital to speculate on raw materials and affect the popularization of room-temperature superconductors."

"You talk to Luan Weiliang later and have him buy up large quantities of raw materials for several types of superconductors, such as lead and copper, in the international market, as well as related mineral assets, mining companies, and metal recycling companies."

"We must keep several major raw materials in our hands and maintain prices within a controllable range."

"In addition, every company in the group must start preparing for the new era..."

The two discussed the details for a while, and the secret meeting did not fully conclude until five o'clock in the afternoon.

After returning to the office, Su Xin thought for a moment and decided to call Hao Zude.

"Student Su, it's been a long time. Is there some good news again this time?"

On the other end of the line, Hao Zude laughed heartily.

Having been in contact so many times, he had long since figured out Su Xin's personality; if it weren't for an important breakthrough in scientific research, it would be basically impossible for Su Xin to take the initiative to find him.

"Are you free right now?"

Su Xin asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Hao Zude's expression immediately turned serious. He stood up, walked to the door, locked it, and returned to his seat before saying:

"Alright, go ahead."

"Room-temperature superconductivity is about to be released to the world..."

"What?!"

Upon hearing the first sentence, Hao Zude stood up with a start, his eyes widening in disbelief, his right hand gripping the phone instinctively tightening.

Su Xin had anticipated the other party's reaction and just said calmly:

"In short, we will likely hold a press conference in a few months. You should prepare yourselves and don't let the outside world notice anything unusual."

Taking a deep breath, Hao Zude managed to suppress the excitement in his heart and said with a trembling voice:

"Okay, I understand."

Knowing this news in advance could greatly reduce the shock brought by room-temperature superconductors.

For example, several national-level projects currently under development, such as the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project, the Photovoltaic Power Generation Project, the Ultra-High Voltage Transmission Project, and so on, could all make preparations in advance to minimize losses and lay the groundwork early to welcome the new era brought by room-temperature superconductors.

In the face of such a major global shift, the benefits of being able to plan ahead are unimaginable.

Of course, they could only make preparations for the most important projects; otherwise, too many unusual actions would easily lead to news leaks.

After hanging up the phone, Hao Zude immediately reported to his superiors and established an expert group to discuss the matter.

Then, secret adjustments began.

On the other side.

Not long after Su Xin hung up the phone, he received a notification that the package had been delivered.

He asked his secretary to help retrieve the package, then Su Xin unpacked it, studied the manual carefully for a while, and looked at its appearance.

The design of these MR glasses was similar to ordinary glasses, with lenses that were transparent with a hint of blue-purple, though the frames were slightly thicker than ordinary glasses and the texture was quite resilient.

Su Xin tried putting on the MR glasses and, following the manual, bound his identity and his Tiantian Assistant account.

The frames of these MR glasses integrated the function of bone-conduction headphones; through two vibration units pressed against the sides of the ears, audio signals were converted into mechanical vibrations and then transmitted to the inner ear.

Through the lenses, Su Xin could clearly see everything in the outside world.

However, when Su Xin's gaze focused on a certain spot, the name and dimensional parameters of that object, as well as the distance between himself and that object, would automatically appear on the lens.

It was as if the entire world had been digitized and presented within his vision.

Besides that.

It could also measure speed, measure distance, provide navigation, perform online web searches, facilitate chat interactions, and more.

It could also detect dangerous targets.

For example, by connecting to the global wanted list to identify if a target was a wanted criminal, or by detecting someone approaching with a knife, a vehicle losing control and crashing toward him, or an object approaching at an abnormal speed, the MR glasses would automatically identify the danger and provide alerts simultaneously through visuals, vibrations, and sound.

Most importantly, it allowed for interaction.

He could perfectly project the screen of his phone or computer into his vision, forming a virtual interface that looked extremely clear, and operate it directly in mid-air with his fingers.

The real world and the virtual world seemed to be perfectly blended together.

Yet, the two were not indistinguishable.

Because the visual style was completely different; the former was a real-life scene, while the latter was a semi-transparent digital electronic interface, which would not cause people to be unable to distinguish between reality and virtuality after long-term wear.

"Indeed, this is quite interesting."

Su Xin smiled slightly, played with it with great interest for a while, and then suddenly thought:

"Electronic information technology does have its unique strengths; in terms of acquiring information and networking, it can completely crush biotechnology."

"Perhaps... the improvement and optimization of the Tianlong Battle Armor could borrow a little from this."

"Let the surface of the Tianlong Battle Armor add some sensors so that it can see and hear more information..."

"However, the composition of sensors is too complex; it is impossible to generate any kind of sensor using only the Tianlong Cell as a single substance."

"It would be better to consider the networking function first."

"If I connect the Biological Computer in the Control Hub to the outside network, I could access the internet to query information at any time through the Control Hub."

"However..."

"If I do that, would there be hacker techniques that could invade my Control Hub through the network and thereby control my Tianlong Battle Armor?"

"Humans certainly don't have such technology, but if aliens happened to have it, that would be troublesome."

After thinking for a while.

Su Xin abandoned this idea.

Once connected to the network, it meant there was a possibility of being hacked by him; just because no one could hack it now did not mean no one would in the future.

He did not want to leave behind such a major hidden danger.

……

In the days that followed.

Under his arrangement, Tianqi Group began making large-scale acquisitions of several metals and minerals, such as lead and copper, in the international market.

Tianke Academy established six core project teams, arranging for all Senior Tian Scholars within Tianke Academy to concentrate their strength and focus on research.

Several major national-level projects in Long Country also quietly withdrew most of their funding and manpower, turning instead to the research and development of other new projects.

Naturally, this news could not be hidden from the media.

Many media outlets began racing to report on it, speculating about the various changes in Long Country.

However, even the experts in the projects that were shut down were notified of the cancellations without explanation, many of them having no idea what had happened, so the media naturally could not find out anything either.

Based on Long Country's actions, some experts boldly guessed it had to do with a Room-Temperature Superconductor, but no one dared to believe it rashly, let alone adjust their policies to follow Long Country's direction.

Research involving major projects like Controlled Nuclear Fusion was a matter of national policy; how could it be adjusted based on some groundless speculation?

……

Among the six core projects of Tianqi Group, Controlled Nuclear Fusion and Maglev Electric Vehicle were industries they had never touched before, while they possessed a solid technical foundation in the other four projects.

Therefore, in order to accelerate progress and complete research as quickly as possible, Su Xin personally set aside time to serve as the technical chief advisor for the two major projects.

The Maglev Electric Vehicle was actually fine.

As long as there was a Room-Temperature Superconductor as a prerequisite, the difficulty of this technology was not too great, and with the technical foundation and research team of Tianke Academy, the R&D progress was astonishing.

As for the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project.

It truly possessed extremely high technical difficulty and was an incredibly complex, massive engineering project.

Furthermore, Tianqi Group had never invested any energy into this before, lacked relevant technology and team foundations, and a large number of related patents were monopolized by various countries; for Tianqi Group, starting from zero, it was almost impossible to bypass these.

Consequently, Su Xin secretly reached a cooperation agreement with Long Country, directly conducting development in partnership based on Long Country's Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project.

Both sides reached an unconditional patent-sharing agreement, agreeing that the final results would be shared unconditionally by both parties, with each holding fifty percent of the patent rights.

In reality.

Long Country's Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project was already the most advanced in the world and had the highest number of patents; the R&D progress of the entire project was already quite mature, while Tianqi Group had no relevant patents at all and had never even stepped foot in the field.

Now, once the cooperation was reached, Tianqi Group immediately possessed half-ownership of the entire project and could henceforth use all patents involved in the project unconditionally.

It sounded as if Long Country had suffered a huge loss and Tianqi Group had taken a massive advantage.

But with Su Xin providing the Room-Temperature Superconductor for the project in advance, it was equivalent to directly reducing more than half of the R&D difficulty for the project.

Plus, with Su Xin himself personally stepping forward to provide technical guidance, this could provide immense assistance to the project.

Therefore, after the project lead and several top experts learned of all this, they did not feel angry in the slightest; instead, they felt incomparably excited.

"Great! With President Su joining, the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project is a sure thing!"

Everyone was filled with confidence.

……

March 28th.

Inside the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project base.

Hao Zude, project lead Zhan Fengwen, and several top experts from the project welcomed Su Xin in politely.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, at Su Xin's request, they went directly to the R&D testing site.

Several top experts enthusiastically explained the specific progress of the project to Su Xin and took him to visit the Tokamak Device.

Because the cooperation between the two sides was still in a confidential stage, in order to avoid leaking news of the Room-Temperature Superconductor as much as possible, the project had been halted directly, and many of the original personnel had been removed, so the testing site appeared somewhat deserted.

"It's a pity; the Tokamak Device that has been researched for so long needs a complete overhaul."

"The Toroidal Field Magnet, Poloidal Field Magnet, Plasma Control System, Heating and Current Drive System, Remote Operation System, and many other important components all need major modifications..."

After touring the site, Su Xin put forward his own opinions and began communicating with the experts.

He had previously studied technology related to Controlled Nuclear Fusion and had a very deep understanding of the Tokamak Device, even having once listed the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project as a backup project.

It was only because he lacked sufficient certainty and was not in urgent need that he had shelved it until now.

Long Country's Huanliu No. 3 project also belonged to the Tokamak Device; now, after the other party's introduction, Su Xin immediately understood some of the key technologies and its R&D progress.

He immediately put forward his opinions regarding this device, as well as an improvement plan based on the Room-Temperature Superconductor.

Several top experts listened attentively.

As Su Xin's explanation deepened, their expressions became increasingly serious, and they began to raise their own questions one after another, just like model students earnestly asking their teacher questions in a classroom.
