In a vast laboratory, researchers in white coats stared tensely at the center as the experiment continued.
This was the research team led by Ying Si, working on controlled nuclear fusion technology.
Using the records provided by the machine race, the Human Race had begun researching an artificial sun and studying the process of nuclear fusion.
There were two prerequisites for achieving nuclear fusion.
First, the experiment required temperatures exceeding twenty million degrees.
Second, it required an immense pressure of 330 billion atmospheres.
In such an environment, throw in two hydrogen atoms, and they would fuse into a helium atom.
Another important reaction was the deuterium-tritium reaction. Extensive earlier experiments had consistently resulted in losses, making it extremely cost-ineffective, so a breakthrough had remained out of reach.
In other words, if fusion energy produced at enormous expense cost more than electricity, then it served no purpose.
Without the machine race's data, even another few hundred thousand years would not have been enough for the Human Race to solve this problem.
According to the machine race's data, one deuterium nucleus plus one tritium nucleus had a combined mass of 8.355 × 10²⁷ kilograms.
The reaction produced one helium nucleus and one neutron, with a combined mass of 27.325 × 10²⁷ kilograms.
According to the intelligent equation, the energy E equaled the mass M multiplied by C squared.
C was the speed of light. At three hundred million per second, squared on top of that, the energy released was enormous.
In fact, it was so enormous that it defied imagination.
Put it this way: take the energy produced by fusing just ten grams of deuterium and tritium and convert it into electricity.
