Chapter 1 After Waking Up

After getting up, Lin Xian went to his desk and transcribed the last part of the manuscript, adding a period to complete it. He closed the pen cap and looked at the bound miniature nuclear battery principle and application in his hand.

This manuscript was an extremely simplified version, specifically written for nuclear physics experts and required an extremely high level of nuclear physics knowledge to understand.

Then… the best candidate: could only be Lin Xian's old friend, Gao Yan, the president of the Dragon Academy of Sciences, the chief engineer of the Dragon Country's controlled nuclear fusion project, and one of the first generation of nuclear physics researchers in the Dragon Country.

He had previously handed over the cold fusion technology manuscript to Gao Yan, but unfortunately, as Super Artificial Intelligence VV said, with the technological and material level of 2024, it was impossible to overcome cold fusion. It would take at least several decades, even hundreds of years.

Such a distant empty promise was meaningless to Lin Xian now.

Therefore, Lin Xian handed over the cold fusion technology manuscript to President Gao Yan of the Dragon Academy of Sciences in exchange for connections, the qualification to use the Guizhou FAST radio telescope, and to advance the third dream in the future world to the fourth dream. That was enough.

It was a good deal for Lin Xian.

An empty promise that could only be fulfilled after a century was far less valuable than the direct benefits he could receive now. But the miniature nuclear battery was different.

Although the energy level of this thing was far smaller than that of controlled nuclear fusion and cold fusion, as a battery, the stored energy was absolutely exaggerated.

It could be called the ultimate form of a battery.

Grandpa Wei Shengjin gave an example: the miniature nuclear battery in a mobile phone, even if the phone was used until it was scrapped, would not use up 5% of its power, so the battery could be recycled and continue to power other secondary appliances. If it was just used as an energy source for an LED light, it could light up for thousands of years. It could be considered another industrial revolution.

Of course.

The most crucial thing was that the miniature nuclear battery could be easily manufactured with the technological level of 2024. This was the real cash cow for Rhein Company.

Because this period of sleep was too sufficient, and he had just slept for 12 hours, Lin Xian was not sleepy at all and couldn't fall asleep. Sleeping any longer would turn him into a puddle of mud.

"Might as well go to the Imperial Capital earlier, the sooner the better." Lin Xian packed his luggage, put the precious manuscript in it, and went directly to Hongqiao Airport to take a plane to the Imperial Capital.

After landing.

It was already dawn.

He called and contacted President Gao Yan, who was very excited to receive his call, especially when he heard that there was another new manuscript.

He immediately canceled today's itinerary and waited expectantly for Lin Xian at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Dragon Academy of Sciences. Two hours later.

Lin Xian once again came to that secret laboratory with President Gao Yan. It was protected against eavesdropping and surveillance, and was equipped with shielding equipment. After the mobile phone was brought in, there was no signal and it was in a no service state.

Generally, this place was only used when internal meetings were held.

President Gao Yan chuckled and couldn't wait: "Lin Xian, what manuscript did you bring today?" "Everything you bring is good, which has raised my expectations." Lin Xian opened his briefcase.

He smiled: "Don't worry, President Gao, today's manuscript will definitely not disappoint you. History will repeat itself."

This time, President Gao was even more cautious and directly put on his reading glasses and began to read this sacred treasure-like manuscript.

"Miniature Nuclear Battery Principle and Application" "This!?"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Gao Yan was still shocked the moment he saw the title.

This young Lin Xian… rarely produces anything, but when he does, it shocks the world!

"Let me take a serious look first."

President Gao Yan motioned for Lin Xian to do as he pleased, then found a table and chair and sat down to study it intently. It was still the familiar plot. The more Academician Gao Yan read, the more surprised he became. He gradually became amazed and couldn't help but sigh at the ingenuity of the thinking: "This way of thinking is really too genius! It turns out that our development route for nuclear energy has completely taken a detour!" If some genius had realized the research ideas on this manuscript earlier, miniature nuclear batteries might have been created ten years ago. "Lin Xian, I have finished reading your manuscript. The content is not complicated, but the ideas are very novel and groundbreaking.

I have always felt… that since the first atomic bomb exploded, so many years have passed, and humans have not explored the miniaturization of nuclear energy… there must be something overlooked, or something that we haven't paid attention to." "But I never thought that it's not that we haven't worked hard enough, but that I've been working hard in the wrong direction! This is really the tragedy of human civilization… because of the wrong direction, we missed the nuclear energy era and are still using fossil fuels in 2024." direction.

Lin Xian had heard this word many times. Xu Yun had said it, Grandpa Wei Shengjin had said it, and President Gao Yan in front of him had also said it before. So… who is deliberately leading the research direction of human science astray? An error in a research direction will not only destroy the lives of several peerless geniuses, but may even cause human civilization to stagnate for decades or even hundreds of years, wasting precious time for peaceful development. Lin Xian began to think silently.

To lead the entire human civilization's technology tree astray, the following conditions must be met: 1. This person has a high status, has a lot of say in the scientific community, and can even influence the establishment and progress of some large-scale scientific research projects.

2. He is very rich, after all, money makes the mare go. Isn't carrying all of humanity to immigrate to Mars like Musk a brand new beginning for humankind to re-choose the technology tree?

3. His academic level must also be very good, otherwise he won't be able to convince the public at all. No one will listen to what he says. Only when he is highly respected and his academic level is convincing enough can he make global humans accept what he says and obey his orders, but…

He couldn't remember who had such abilities for a while!

So he asked President Gao Yan: "President Gao, in your personal opinion, who is hindering human research on miniature nuclear batteries and guiding others towards large-scale weapons of mass destruction and large-scale nuclear power supply?"

"That... is hard to say."

President Gao Yan shook his head: "The scientific community itself is not monolithic. Every scientist has their own ideas, thoughts, understanding, and opinions. Many times, there is no final conclusion. No one knows which theory is correct, and no one knows which route can go to the end.

Scientific research is a process of constantly hitting walls. Right now, it can be considered good luck that you directly got the manuscript of the miniature nuclear battery. Otherwise, I estimate… humans will have to take dozens or hundreds of years of detours. Lin Xian, just like I said, your manuscript is undoubtedly authentic and effective. According to the experimental methods above, it won't be long before we can create the first miniature nuclear battery."
