Chapter 1997 The Fourth Industrial Revolution
Now Korean Wenguang has finally seen this thing that has changed the world.
Early this morning, my apprentice hurriedly placed a thick magazine on the Korean TV station.
Han Wenguang took a look and it turned out to be his most annoying magazine "World Worlds". However, no matter how annoying it, this magazine became a magazine that all graduate students must buy in a very short time.
Why?
Because the number of various explosive papers published in this magazine has been too many, and its impact on the world has also increased at an incredible speed.
Who can believe that a magazine with only three years of history has now become the top ten in the world's impact factor journal rankings, and is also the number one professional journal in materials science, electronic technology, applied chemistry, and even high-energy physics.
This made Han Wenguang very depressed because he was engaged in the high-energy physics industry. For him, if he wanted to publish a paper in any journal, then "The Thousand Worlds" was the best choice, because the influence factor of others is high and the number of people cited, the academic achievements and world-renownedness will be much higher in the end.
What Han Wenguang even more can't understand is that you are not good at high-energy physics and are still openly rejecting yourself with this reason. So why do you do research on so many high-energy physics papers in your company's journals?
So although I hate it, Korean Language and Television still subscribed to "The World of Thousands" every time, wanting to see what new and explosive research results Daqian has recently made in the high-energy physics industry.
"Has any major discovery been made?" Although Han Wenguang was a little narrow-minded, he was not stupid. At this time, it was never the time when "The Thousand Worlds" published a new issue, but his students rushed to send a magazine over. There was obviously something wrong with this magazine!
"Change the world! The whole world is about to change!!" the student said gasping.
"Change the world?" These four words made Han Wenguang stunned at first, and then immediately grabbed the book and found that the magazine was actually a supplement, and only included one paper from beginning to end: "On the Ideas on Implementing Controllable Nuclear Fusion, Material Research, Particle Performance, and Some Experiments"
Signature: Jia Changtian.
Han Wenguang finished reading the entire paper in just one hour. He shook his mind a little, and then asked the student to call him home, saying that he might not go home for three or four days and would have to work overtime in school.
In addition, students were asked to send him some bread and milk every time they were dinner time, and then they picked up the supplement again.
This time, Han Wenguang read almost word by word. Every time he read a sentence, he had to think about it in his mind for a while, and then he had completely understood the meaning of this sentence before continuing to read it.
After reading this for 5 days, Han Wenguang put down the supplement in his hand. Seeing the tabletop bread crumbs, milk juice, and various packaging bags all over the floor, he felt that the scenery was particularly beautiful.
"If these experiments are true!" Han Wenguang murmured to himself, "The fourth industrial revolution is coming, can humans finally obtain eternal energy?
Human beings are used to calling every major scientific progress the industrial revolution, the first industrial revolution was the industrial revolution of steam, and mankind has since entered the steam era.
The second is that the industrial revolution is the industrial revolution of electricity, and mankind has since entered the era of electricity.
The third industrial revolution was a revolution in biotechnology and information technology, and mankind entered the era of information.
This is the industrial revolution that the scientific community has very recognized in the first three times. Now some people have proposed the fourth industrial revolution, saying that Industry 4.0, but in fact, there are few respondents.
No matter how much Industry 4.0 is, to put it bluntly, it is to use information technology to achieve industrial industrialization innovation. Although it is indeed revolutionary, it still belongs to the era of the third industrial revolution and cannot form an overall breakthrough and enter the fourth industrial revolution.
In fact, Korean Wenguang has always had an idea, that is, to make breakthroughs in high-energy physics and controllable nuclear fusion become reality, so that humans can truly enter a new era.
Because the energy generated by controlled nuclear fusion is extremely huge, but the cost is extremely low, it is truly inexhaustible and inexhaustible, and the cost of human energy usage will be further reduced.
But this is only one aspect. What is really important is that the power output of energy has been greatly improved. The most powerful nuclear power plant can output instantaneously, and there is no controllable nuclear fusion output power of 1.
Some people may be curious, what does this matter? Humans cannot use such huge power, so will they still need to convert it to low power to use it?
This is true for individuals of human beings, but not for all human beings. First of all, the huge energy supply can make breakthroughs in many scientific and technological technologies.
The biggest influence is aerospace technology. Due to energy limitations, human spacecraft had a very low speed limit and its range was also very low. Humans could hardly create large manned spacecraft that could drive away from the solar system with their own power.
Even going to Mars is very difficult.
In order to land on the moon, the United States created the terrifying Hercules rocket. This Hercules rocket is not about how terrifying the technology is, but about its terrifying take-off thrust, and the strongest one can reach 200 tons.
So why do you need such a strong thrust?
It’s not that the lunar module transported by the Americans is so heavy, but that the fuel they carry is very huge, and most of the thrust of 200 tons is due to fuel.
Because rockets at that time generally used kerosene as fuel, the efficiency of this fuel can be imagined. If you want to land on the moon, you must carry a large amount of fuel, otherwise you will not be able to reach the moon at all.
If you want to go to Mars, the fuel will be even more terrifying. Judging from the level of Americans landing on the moon back then, it is obviously unrealistic to have hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel.
In fact, until now, humans have not solved the fuel that can allow manned spacecraft to arrive on Mars.
Because these fuels must be light enough, otherwise they will not be launched at all if they are too heavy. If they are too light, they will not be able to support all the fuel needed for round trips, which has become an unsolvable deadly proposition.
But now, with the emergence of controlled nuclear fusion technology, the fuel for humans to travel to and from Mars may be less than 100 kilograms together, and more people leave the solar system, which will take about hundreds of tons. It can be launched into the sky with Hercules launch vehicles.
This is why controlled nuclear fusion technology can bring the fourth industrial revolution to mankind.
