The Call to March Toward a Tier 1 Civilization

To be honest, Yue Yuan did not expect that this proposal would cause such a huge reaction on the Hope.

"It seems I have indeed paid too little attention to Social Science. If deep-seated social problems are not addressed for a long time, they will inevitably erupt one day, and in severe cases, they may even cause internal chaos."

Thinking about this, Yue Yuan felt somewhat fortunate. Fortunately, these sociology and linguistics experts were not incompetent; otherwise, these problems might have been overlooked, and the best time for correction would have been missed.

Everyone is trying to make their own contribution.

It is foreseeable that sociologists and linguists will be busy with the implementation of the "Draft Suggestions on Standardizing Language and Writing" for some time to come.

In applied sciences, the emergence of Room Temperature Superconductivity has plunged the entire Engineering Department into its busiest period since the disaster.

After Yue Yuan clarified the timetable, the Engineering Department formulated two five-year plans.

The first five-year plan: The Hope ship was completely renovated inside and out, and all the old electrical wiring was replaced with superconducting wires.

At first glance, the plan can be summarized in a single sentence, but the actual workload is enormous. The Hope is truly massive, reaching a total length of 1,180 meters after the expansion, and consisting of twelve Large Turntable with a radius of 550 meters, each with a huge coil on Large Turntable central axis.

The Engineering Department now wants to replace all these coils with Superconducting Coil.

In this five-year plan, the Engineering Department predicts that it will take about three to four years to complete the replacement of the twelve coils. If there is enough time left, they will continue to replace the various circuits inside the Hope with superconducting materials. If there is not enough time, they will only update the main circuit, cables and components that are overheating due to resistance.

The second five-year plan is related to the Fusion Engine.

The Engineering Department must make comprehensive preparations in this regard. Once the Fusion Engine is successfully developed and tested, they will immediately organize relevant departments to produce the new finished engine and install it on the Hope.

Because it was unknown when the research and development would be successful and the testing would be completed, the Engineering Department had to prepare for the pre-disassembly of the original Fission Engine, and the Fission Reactor on the Hope also had to be upgraded to Fusion Reactor.

There's a lot of work to do.

If there is enough time and Nuclear Fusion technology is mature, building another ship might be a better option.

Unfortunately, there were only eleven years left.

In fact, replacing the Large Turntable coil is easier than upgrading the nuclear reactor, because when the Hope was built, the large coils were mostly designed using a modular approach. Replacing the coil simply requires removing the old coil and replacing it after the Superconducting Coil module has been fabricated.

Nuclear reactors are different; they have to be completely dismantled, and then a new Fusion Reactor has to be built in the same location.

With the Engineering Department busy, related industrial production couldn't stop for a moment either.

It is foreseeable that in the next ten years, Ross 154-7 game will become exceptionally busy again, and the construction site mode will be activated once more.

To this end, the mining sector has already ordered 79 small hydrogen bombs from the military production department to blast open the mineral deposits buried deep beneath Ross 154-7. Using small hydrogen bombs to mine... it's unclear whether the mining sector's director got this idea from Yu Nanfeng.

The precise coordinates of the mining site are now kept in the Supreme Command Department office, with the location, depth, and yield of the hydrogen bomb precisely marked on the map.

In order to meet future resource needs, Yue Yuan agreed without hesitation.

Since humans can't stay here forever, there's no need to mine slowly. We can blast and bomb as needed, as long as the seismic waves don't affect the current industrial base on Ross 154-7.

Of course, the small hydrogen bombs used for mining were not given directly to the mining sector for detonation. Instead, the military would be responsible for their development, with the mining sector only providing the plans and various parameters.

After all, this is the most powerful weapon humanity currently possesses.

In applied science, the emergence of Room Temperature Superconductivity has also sparked a revolutionary wave in the field of Material Science.

As a materials scientist, Xu Zhenyi also became busy day and night. He had just come out of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion research center, hurriedly gave some instructions to his students, and then rushed to the research building.

There, a seminar on the application of superconducting materials was already in full swing.

When Xu Zhenyi arrived, scientists from other fields had already gathered together.

Even Yue Yuan was there, but this time he didn't stand in the main speaker's seat. Instead, he sat quietly in a corner of the Conference Room, waiting for the seminar to begin.

Yue Yuan understands technology, but he is not an expert in the field. He can only be an audience member at this kind of scientist-level seminar to broaden his scientific horizons.

The seminar began shortly after Xu Zhenyi arrived.

This seminar takes a different form from regular meetings. Instead of a moderator speaking from beginning to end, scientists from different fields share their views and insights on the seminar content.

Because it was a workshop on design applications, in addition to the scientists who did theoretical work, a large group of applied scientists also came, including Zhao Youqin, Yu Nanfeng, Li Zenglu, Chen Haiyu, and even astronomers like Gan De.

After the seminar began, Xu Zhenyi, as a leading figure in materials science, naturally took the lead in introducing the main content of the seminar to everyone, and then gave a targeted speech.

Applications of Room Temperature Superconductivity materials.

When most people hear the word "superconductor," they immediately think of its applications, such as wires, Superconducting Engine, Magnetohydrodynamic Generator, Superconducting Magnetic Levitation, and large-capacity batteries.

However, experts believe that its applications go beyond these.

It can be used in almost every field that human society is currently involved in, even in the manufacture of higher resolution nuclear magnetic resonance, super Particle Collider, more powerful Electromagnetic Cannon, and radar.

Manufacturing of various electronic devices, such as Superconducting Quantum Interference Device, Superconducting Mixer, Superconducting Electronic Circuit, Superconducting Particle Detector, and so on.

It can be said that the emergence of Room Temperature Superconductivity not only gave Hope a brand new look, but also brought about earth-shattering changes to human society.

Because science and technology are interconnected, this superconducting revolution will sweep across almost all fields of applied technology. Even electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers will see a new generation of products.

In the Computer Field, the Tianhe Light Supercomputer currently in use will also be upgraded to Superconducting Supercomputer.

No one on the Hope will be idle for the next ten years.

It can be said that the emergence of Room Temperature Superconductivity has sounded the clarion call for humankind to advance towards Tier 1 Civilization.
