Chapter 128 The history of human energy use is a history of boiling water in various ways

It was an ordinary day, and Lin Zhenxi was as usual staying in his magic tower doing his magic research.

However, compared with the previous period of time, there is one biggest difference, that is, Lin Zhenxi developed another floor in the middle of the magic tower. It is empty inside, with nothing inside except a giant black steel metal structure that is spherical as a whole.

Oh, there are also a large number of magic circles carved on the ground, big circles inside small circles, intersecting and tangent concentric circles, so densely packed that they almost cover the entire floor.

Obviously, the big ball is the "magnetized target laser fusion pulse generator" that Lin Zhenxi dismantled from the super cannon, which is the core component of the miniature nuclear fusion energy output device as Lin Zhenxi understands it, the part responsible for generating electricity.

The large number of magic circles on the ground are all energy conversion circles. The reason they exist is to absorb every pulse current of the micro-nuclear fusion, convert it into magic power, and then supply it to the entire magic tower.

After receiving the blueprints from Child Emperor and handing them over to Genos's tools for analysis, Lin Zhenxi discovered that Child Emperor's research differed significantly from the nuclear fusion reactor she had come to know. To be more precise, the difference was worlds apart.

The nuclear fusion that Lin Zhenxi learned from her high school physics textbook is "the polymerization of elements with low atomic numbers under high temperature and high pressure to produce elements with higher atomic numbers while releasing energy." In order for the reaction to occur, an extremely extreme environment is first required.

However, Child Emperor's big metal ball does not require such harsh conditions. Even the reaction materials are solid "small" particles encapsulated in capsules at room temperature. One gram is so "small" that it can be split into hundreds of parts for use.

Our genius children chose to use lasers to artificially create an extreme environment for fusion reactions to occur. When multiple (hundreds of) beams of extremely high-intensity lasers hit the target drug from all directions at the same time, high temperatures and pressures that fully meet or even exceed the conditions for fusion will be generated inside the target drug, squeezing the low-order elements in the capsule into a ball, forcing them to undergo a fusion reaction and releasing a large amount of energy in an instant.

When the energy explodes, the entire target drug will be directly vaporized into an atomic cloud by the ultra-high temperature of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees generated instantly in the chamber. The heat is then discharged and the solid crystal responsible for generating the laser is reheated by the heat pipe effect during heat conduction. At the same time, new target drugs are injected, the laser is excited, and the previous process is repeated, thus obtaining a periodic energy pulse.

There is no doubt that this is indeed a nuclear fusion power generation device, but it should be laser fusion, which is not the same as what Lin Zhenxi learned in high school textbooks.

As for things like tokamaks, magnetic mirrors, and magnetized laser pinch, let alone distinguishing them, Lin Zhenxi had never even heard of them. But honestly, who would study these things? Just knowing that a bulb lights up when you screw it into a lamp holder and flip a switch is enough.

In Child Emperor's original design, how to convert this pulsed explosive energy into usable electrical energy occupied seventy to eighty percent of the design drawing. It can be said that this was the protagonist. After all, humans cannot directly utilize the energy generated by fusion, and the generation of electrical energy requires cutting magnetic lines of force. How to convert heat into electrical energy is a major problem that has plagued mankind for hundreds of years.

On the other hand, the energy pulse generator only needs to explode in the chamber again and again according to the periodic frequency. As long as the selected materials are up to standard and can withstand the repeated explosions and heating of the reaction chamber, there is no need to worry about anything else.

Don't ask, the answer is boiling water. From the moment the first person used the steam from a kettle to blow a paper windmill, to the subsequent nuclear power plants, thermal power plants, geothermal power plants, and other power plants, hundreds and thousands of years have passed. No matter how advanced the technology becomes, it still boils water.

In the future, even if humans master nuclear fusion, the great energy source from the sun and stars, to utilize this energy source that will never be exhausted, humans will still need to boil water, which is extremely inefficient...

However, Lin Zhenxi did not choose the path of science. She graduated from high school, and even though she had good scores in the college entrance examination, she did not go to college but directly joined the company, so she knew nothing about the principles of electrical, thermal, and generators.

The problem was, Lin Zhenxi wanted magic power, not electricity. Electricity was just one type of energy the energy conversion array could directly utilize, but it wasn't the only one. More precisely, the energy conversion array could convert any common form of energy into magic power, including electricity and, naturally, heat.

As long as the energy can trigger the activation of elements, it can all be converted into pure attributeless magic with the help of the energy conversion array.

So after thinking about it carefully, Lin Zhenxi found that she didn't seem to need the long list of things behind the entire system designed by Child Emperor. As long as she could stably produce energy pulses, she could use this set of miniature nuclear fusion devices directly.

Lin Zhenxi immediately took action. After realizing that she didn't need to be too cautious with the equipment, she decided to remove the large metal ball from the super cannon. The manufacturing and mass production research and development could be left to Genos's clones, but Lin Zhenxi needed to use Child Emperor's nuclear fusion technology now.

So on a dark and windy night, Lin Zhenxi, along with the technical consultant, Mr. Kinos No. numeral, and a group of modified orc laborers covered with tendons, sneaked into the super turret that was about to become a landmark building in Z City, and dismantled the most important and valuable energy pulse generator of the entire energy output device.

With Kinos's clones providing technical guidance and Lin Zhenxi's magic disassembling the sealed components, the modified orcs' dismantling and transporting of the entire system went extremely smoothly, even smoother than Dove.

In the second half of the night, the metal ball was completely separated from the entire energy system. Then, with the help of Lin Zhenxi's levitation spell, the orcs loaded it onto a heavy truck and drove away.

By the time the security guards arranged by City Z patrolled here during the day and saw that the energy output device was missing a large round hole, Lin Zhenxi had already transported the entire pulse generator to the magic tower, and everything was settled.

What!? The super battery was stolen, its vital components mysteriously missing? Condemned, absolutely condemned. How could anyone do such an immoral thing? Lin Zhenxi expressed deep concern about City Z's lack of public services and decided to donate to help build a more comprehensive public service system. In short, he was so upright that the Z government even wondered if they had been wrong and that this incident had nothing to do with Lin Zhenxi.

You know, Lin Zhenxi is a local boss in the abandoned city area. The super artillery is right on the edge of the abandoned city, right under Lin Zhenxi's nose. If you say that Lin Zhenxi is completely unaware of it, no one will believe it.

But anyway, a large sum of money was taken out of Lin Zhenxi's pocket, and the super turret was now only for viewing. Even Child Emperor and Metal Knight didn't care about it anymore. As long as the main frame was still there, it didn't matter even if the whole thing was dismantled and given to Lin Zhenxi. So the matter was put to rest and no one pursued it anymore.

With the pulsed energy burst of micro-nuclear fusion, Lin Zhenxi only needs to draw enough energy focusing arrays and energy conversion arrays so that they can absorb the energy pulse cleanly in one breath.

In the middle area of ​​the magic tower, there is an energy pool specifically used to store magic power, which can compress ordinary magic power into high-purity magic essence for storage.

Lin Zhenxi had previously felt she didn't need this thing, believing the Magic Tower could simply draw magic from the earth's veins, but she'd still divided this area for routine purposes. Now that she had a nuclear fusion device, she suddenly felt her previous unnecessary actions had become quite wise.

A properly functioning micro-nuclear fusion reactor could power magnetic traction, a high-tech weapon far beyond the level of civilization on this planet. Its output power was truly astonishing. Now that Lin Zhenxi was storing its energy, the Magic Tower's main weapon could be transformed from a strategic weapon that could drain Lin Zhenxi's entire magical energy with a single shot into a conventional weapon that required only a degree of caution.

In other words, Lin Zhenxi can upgrade the weapons in the magic tower!

The benefits of having sufficient energy far exceeded the upgrade of weapons. It also freed the team from reliance on ley lines. Previously, to keep the magic tower functioning properly, it had to be connected to the ley lines. However, ley lines, obviously, only existed underground, and very deep underground.

For the sake of the earth veins, the magic tower is basically tied to one place. If it wants to move, first of all, the magic tower must have the function of moving. Secondly, it needs to draw a large amount of magic power from the earth veins to store enough energy for the magic tower to move. Not only is the distance of movement limited, but each movement is also a squeeze on the earth veins, which may cause a major collapse of the environment around the original site.

With the energy provided by micro-nuclear fusion, the magic tower no longer needs the earth veins to provide magic power. It can travel whenever it wants, or even not touch the ground at all, and it is not a problem to turn it into a sky tower.

Of course, the amount of magic power required to launch a two- to three-kilometer-tall magic tower would be astronomical. To maintain this state, all the energy generated by the micro-nuclear fusion would have to be diverted, weakening the overall defense. The magic tower was most vulnerable when in motion, so every deployment had to be handled with caution.

But never mind. Lin Zhenxi’s current base is in City Z, and she has no intention of moving.

The most important thing now is to quickly start the micro-nuclear fusion, collect energy to fill the magic pool, and then urge the tool man Kinos to quickly make a separator that can separate, extract, concentrate and purify fusion fuel from water to make target drugs.

After all, nuclear fusion reactions only use a small amount of fuel, not no fuel at all. If you rely on the little stock that Child Emperor puts in the pulse generator, it will definitely be exhausted in the end, so Lin Zhenxi must also take control of the production line of accessories for producing target drugs and major consumables.

Then, just when everything seemed to be on track, and Lin Zhenxi was happily watching the magic essence dripping from the top of the energy pool, she saw the notice about the disaster -

J City was suddenly struck by a tsunami and submerged in the ocean. The number of casualties was incalculable!
