Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 8: The Ark Reactor, a Truly Limitless Energy Source
Regardless of whether the other party needs to impersonate or adapt their personality to match Sasuke's after obtaining the character template, in order to gain more power, even if the other party's template is like Ye Xuan's King's Domination, they can directly obtain all the abilities after merging.

Unless they have entered the Six Paths realm and awakened the Rinnegan with six tomoe, they are not worth being wary of.

Even if Ye Xuan is no match for him now, the gap between them is not necessarily that big; and if he is not good enough, he still has Elder Zhong, right?

For the people of Daxia who always keep something in reserve, Ye Xuan would never believe that Elder Zhong could present such a magnificent picture in public, but that his compatibility with the template was less than 60% in private.

Anyway, beating Uchiha Sasuke, who hasn't reached the Six Paths realm, should be no problem.

Compared to the questionable authenticity of whether someone actually obtained the character template for Uchiha Sasuke, it's clear that Tony Stark, who is confirmed to have obtained the Mark III armor, deserves more attention from the American film industry.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Mark III is only the third suit of armor created by Tony Stark; it incorporates just as much advanced technology.

We won't go into details about materials, propulsion systems, and weapons, since it's only the third one. However, the artificial intelligence Jarvis and the Arc Reactor, which serves as the energy core, are things that must be taken seriously.

How strong is Jarvis?

Within milliseconds, they cracked S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Level 7 encryption, infiltrated Hammer Industries' systems, and even briefly took over S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier.

This invasion capability is a complete game-changer in today's world. How many countries in the world could withstand Jarvis's invasion?
Even if Jarvis in the Mark III armored vehicle is just an auxiliary flight and combat AI subroutine, it would still greatly help the development of AI in the United States.

Needless to say, the Arc Reactor is another example; cold fusion technology is considered by the mainstream academic community to violate existing physical laws.

Real-world thermonuclear fusion still requires decades of research and relies on high-temperature plasma confinement, let alone cold fusion. The gap between the two cannot be explained in a few words.

If cold fusion technology is mastered, it will not only provide humanity with a near-limitless energy source, but also fundamentally reshape the technological, economic, environmental, and even civilizational forms of human society.

Unlimited clean energy will completely replace fossil fuels, destroy traditional energy industries such as oil and coal, and high-energy-consuming industries will no longer be limited by energy costs. Production efficiency will increase exponentially, and energy wars will disappear as a result.

Various new industries will emerge, and even mega-projects that were originally just human imagination, such as space elevators and underwater cities, may become a reality.

The core challenge of establishing self-sustaining ecosystems on the Moon and Mars—energy supply—is also readily solved.

In short, if cold fusion technology becomes a reality, its impact can be compared to the combined effects of the use of fire, the Industrial Revolution, and the Information Revolution.

The United States' national strength will also be greatly enhanced like never before due to its mastery of cold fusion technology.

Of course, this is on the premise that they can master the technology, but Ye Xuan doesn't have high hopes for that.

Optimistically, if the United States concentrates the world's top scientific research forces and assumes that the theory of cold fusion is feasible, it will take at least 30 years to break through the fundamental physics problems, and then another 20 years to achieve engineering. If it is proven to be infeasible, then the technology will stagnate for a long time, and at most some functions can be imitated through reverse engineering.

To develop laser weapons or electromagnetic guns using the energy density of reactors, the problems of energy transmission and heat dissipation need to be solved; to use them as a power source for deep space probes, the limitations of miniaturization and durability need to be overcome.

Using the reactor as a bargaining chip to jointly develop it with other countries is, in Ye Xuan's opinion, the most likely outcome.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan shook his head.

It's too early to think about these things now. Whether they can actually "take" the Mark III from Tony is still unknown. Besides, these are questions that should be thought out by those in power, and have nothing to do with him, a student.

What is the purpose of the arc reactor?

"Isn't that what provides energy?"

While Ye Xuan was thinking, Zhang Yu and Chen Hao exchanged glances and then asked each other in confusion.

What's the use of the Arc Reactor? Isn't the Mark III armor the important thing? That's Iron Man's armor, you know.

"???"

No, you.

Ye Xuan looked a little confused, subconsciously thinking that Chen Hao and Zhang Yu were joking, but after seeing their serious expressions, he slapped his forehead.

He had forgotten that they were still high school students, and not even high school students with good grades. How could they possibly know what the Arc Reactor represented?

To them, this thing is just a furnace that provides energy; it has absolutely no importance.

"Never mind, just think of it as a stove."

"Anyway, it doesn't really concern us."

Ye Xuan waved his hand speechlessly.

Zhang Yu was about to say something when, just then, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground. Although it was very small, it was very clear.

"earthquake?"

Someone said incredulously, with a hint of excitement in their voice.

Because Hangzhou is located on a plain with flat terrain, the people there had never experienced an earthquake since birth. So, it was bound to be a bit of a surprise when they suddenly encountered one. However, they had practiced drills beforehand, so no one was too nervous.

"Everyone, line up immediately and proceed to the playground in class order!"

Director Li walked in at some point and called out to them. His voice was loud and clear, but there was not a trace of urgency in his tone.

It was as if it had been planned all along.

Ye Xuan noticed this and was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't think much of it.

After all, although there was an earthquake, the tremor was probably only at the level of a magnitude 3 earthquake, not even a magnitude 4. Their school building was built to withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake, so this tremor wouldn't have any impact even if you stayed in the classroom.

It's normal that Director Li has no worries.

"is teacher!"

They immediately agreed, and then, just as they had practiced before, quickly lined up in two rows and walked out of the classroom in an orderly manner.

The entire building was evacuated to the playground within ten minutes. The students stood in the open space, some excitedly discussing the tremor, while others seemed a little nervous.

Ye Xuan stood in the line, his brows furrowed. For some reason, he felt that something was not right.

Just then, as if sensing something, his gaze instantly turned to the slightly raised ground at the edge of the playground not far away; immediately afterward, several figures emerged from the ground, their outlines gradually becoming clear amidst the rising dust.

They were enormous creatures, resembling mice in appearance, but with pale blue fur that shimmered strangely in the sunlight; their eyes were round and bright, their noses twitched slightly, and their ears stood up high, making them look rather cute.
