86: Section 86
Although they were models, the texture was excellent. Li Yaoyao had even touched the models Lin Bai bought, and their quality could only be described as comparable to real cars!
However, Li Yaoyao also knew that since they had been enhanced by his ability, it was normal for the models to become more realistic.
So she didn't think much of it. After Lin Bai had taken out all the items,
he left a stack of photocopied documents, not even bothering to look at them.
Lin Bai directly treated these as certificates of qualification, warranty cards, user manuals, and so on. And since they were all in English, he couldn't understand them.
He always ignored them and had Li Yaoyao take them back with the cardboard boxes.
But even so, Li Yaoyao was still quite nervous, fearing that this time, on a whim, he might want to take these “useless manuals.” Then she would really cry.
After all, it was normal for her to take things he didn't want.
But if Lin Bai wanted these documents, and she still tried every possible way to take them, it would be hard not to suspect her intentions.
After all, the uncertainty of this ability was something one of the professors in the Special Decision Group had mentioned.
It couldn't be ruled out that this ability was like Schrödinger's cat.
Perhaps it only worked when Lin Bai didn't know he possessed this ability.
It couldn't be ruled out that it might not work if he knew.
They dared not gamble on such a fifty-fifty probability.
The discovery of Lin Bai's ability was also an unexpected gain, and it was found when he himself was unaware of possessing it.
Therefore, the higher-ups unanimously decided that it was best to maintain this situation as much as possible and not make too many changes.
The top priority was to strive to eliminate all situations that might lead to the disappearance of the ability.
“Oh, right, do you know about Nuclear Fusion?”
Lin Bai asked abruptly.
These words even made Li Yaoyao's eyes widen in surprise as she stared at him.
Why would he ask that?
Did he know that she had been having him enhance Nuclear Fusion data recently?
Or had her identity been exposed, and he was testing her?
Lin Bai looked at the stunned Li Yaoyao, feeling a bit speechless.
It was just two cardboard boxes, right? Was it enough to get so engrossed?
He had no idea that Li Yaoyao was frightened by his words.
“Nuclear Fusion? What Nuclear Fusion?” Li Yaoyao was extremely nervous inside, but not knowing if she had been exposed, she could only feign ignorance and ask back.
“Don't you know about Nuclear Fusion? It's been a hot topic online recently, and also about Yan Jing's free electricity. I thought you'd be happy, since it saves a month's electricity bill.”
As Lin Bai continued to chat, Li Yaoyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that nothing was exposed at all; he was just casually mentioning news he saw while surfing the internet.
However, that casual mention had scared her to death!
“Hehehe... of course I'm happy...”
“Oh, right, I'm still at work, so I won't chat much longer. I'll take these two cardboard boxes back. I'll thank our dorm auntie for you for giving us so many cardboard boxes!”
Li Yaoyao deliberately showed great enthusiasm as she looked at the two cardboard boxes Lin Bai had disdainfully tossed aside.
And she rushed over like she had found a treasure, carefully picking them up.
Of course, the main reason was that she was afraid of talking about this topic with Lin Bai. If they talked too much, it would be bad if she accidentally revealed something.
Anyway, the task was complete, so she quickly found an excuse to go back and report.
Lin Bai didn't keep her. After all, it was early morning and not mealtime. He casually waved his hand, turned around, and went back with the two luxury car models.
He still had to think about where to display these car models to make them look better... Meanwhile.
Li Yaoyao finally brought the latest Nuclear Fusion data to Academician Jiang's office again.
“Elder Jiang, all the data you gave us has been enhanced. This is the last batch!”
Because the Nuclear Fusion project needed to be perfected, it required Lin Bai's ability multiple times.
So, during this period, all the opportunities to enhance things Lin Bai bought online were given to the Nuclear Fusion project's data.
Chief Yun happened to be there as well. He looked at Li Yaoyao approvingly and said, “Well done. I'll have Old Chen commend you later.”
“Thank you, Chief. This is all Li Yaoyao's duty!”
After reporting, Li Yaoyao went back to continue monitoring Lin Bai's situation.
And Chief Yun looked at the documents in Academician Jiang's hand, gradually becoming much happier.
After all, the pressure he had been under during this time was considerable!
Connecting an experimental power generation device to the civilian power grid.
And also making the decision for Yan Jing to have free electricity. If the results didn't meet the minimum target requirements, there was a high probability of being attacked by various countries.
And after public unrest, society would become even more unstable.
He would have to bear all the resulting disadvantages and consequences!
If not handled well, he would even have to resign and face trial!
But Chief Yun didn't care. Someone had to resolutely step forward for such a matter!
Hua Guo had passed the era when it had to endure and be stable to develop.
After repeatedly demonstrating its prowess with asthma medicine, rare earth refining technology, photolithography machine, and combustible ice extraction, Hua Guo had inevitably been targeted and seen as a thorn in the side by multiple countries.
At this time, if it still chose the safest way to develop, it would likely be constrained everywhere.
Therefore, Chief Yun chose to believe in Lin Bai's ability and the efforts of the entire Hua Guo scientific research team. As long as they crossed this step, Hua Guo would achieve a leap forward in development!
And currently, the experimental process seemed very smooth!
Engineer General Yang Boru was incredibly excited when he saw Chief Yun.
Because this decision was made by him, and Engineer General Yang Boru was the implementer of this decision, responsible for monitoring the operation of the equipment.
Academician Jiang, on the other hand, provided the theoretical foundation, serving as the gatekeeper for the overall direction of the project.
However, because Academician Jiang was old, only Yang Boru could fight on the front lines.
“Chief Yun, I must say, this device, modified by Academician Jiang, has been running continuously for half a month now without any problems!”
“And the core device responsible for initiating Nuclear Fusion has ensured that it can operate continuously for seventy-two hours at 120 million degrees Celsius without any issue!”
“Only after seventy-two hours does the equipment's operating efficiency begin to decrease!”
“Then, after Elder Jiang's second adjustment, it was changed to segmented operation, dividing a core into upper and lower sections to operate separately. Each section works for twelve hours, then cools for twelve hours...”
“But overall, it's equivalent to maintaining twenty-four-hour operation. The key is that this method can even sustain operation indefinitely!”
“As long as sufficient materials are continuously injected, a controllable Nuclear Fusion power generator can operate permanently!”
If, at first, he wasn't sure if this device was good,
then after half a month of continuous operation without any adverse phenomena, Yang Boru could now be 100% certain that this device had almost reached a mature stage!
Originally, in order to test the upper limit of the device's power generation, Chief Yun deliberately made electricity free for the entire Yan Jing.
He knew that this would significantly increase Yan Jing's electricity consumption.
If ordinary power plants couldn't keep up with the generation efficiency, it would inevitably lead to unstable circuits and intermittent power outages.
However, relying solely on one Nuclear Fusion power generation device,
it managed to support the load effortlessly!
Not to mention supporting it, there was even a surplus!
Even with people using electricity without restraint, there hasn't been a single localized power outage due to insufficient electricity so far.
In fact, there was even excess electricity, which was then stored in the power plant's larger storage batteries.
And the surplus electricity reserves accumulated over half a month could allow the entire Yan Jing to operate for a day and a night, even if the city suddenly lost power and no further electricity was generated, and that's with normal consumption, no need to conserve!
“The controllable Nuclear Fusion device can almost be declared a success in advance!”
Yang Boru almost shouted these words.
There was no other way.
He was too excited!
Witnessing this miracle happen firsthand, and clearly knowing how significant this miraculous device would be for the future of Hua Guo!
“That's great!”
“Our project team originally thought it would take at least five generations to achieve a breakthrough!”
Other project team members, hearing Yang Boru's cheers, couldn't help but get excited.
However.
Precisely because the tested device performed too well this time, never showing any instability,
it was as if no device was being tested at all.
This inevitably raised suspicions.
Various conspiracy theories frequently appeared online.
Coupled with the Lighthouse Country fanning the flames from behind,
the more stable the electricity supply, the more worried the public became.
“Damn, half a month has passed, and I'm really using a crazy amount of electricity. Will there really be no impact?”
“Our family has used over eight hundred kilowatt-hours of electricity in half a month. It feels so crazy!”
