Starlink Satellites
The experts and professors in the room still looked furious.
Lin Wei's words had no effect whatsoever.
Harvey looked at Lin Wei and said:
"Lin Wei, you should know that although I love scientific research, I also love my country. I will not help Dragon Country with scientific research. If you let me leave now, I can pretend this never happened!"
Although Harvey dedicated his life to the pursuit of physics, he also loved his country and wanted to contribute to it.
He naturally didn't want to be forcibly taken to a place to conduct a research project.
Lin Wei said with a smile:
"Professor Harvey, come with me to the institute. If you want to leave later, I won't stop you."
Everyone was somewhat surprised by these words.
"What kind of research project is it?" Harvey asked, also becoming curious.
"You'll find out when you come with me."
After Lin Wei finished speaking, she turned and left.
Harvey and Igor exchanged a glance, and then they followed Lin Wei first.
Seeing this, the others followed suit.
Discussion arose among the group of experts and professors.
"I refuse to believe that any research project could make us willingly stay!"
"That's right, if they forcibly detain us, I would rather die than submit!"
"By the way, how did they bring us here?"
Someone brought this up.
Everyone's expression changed slightly as they realized what was happening.
The research institutes where they work are all under the security and defense of the military.
The research institute is equipped with various security devices.
Who could possibly take them away from such a heavily guarded place?
The thought struck everyone as unbelievable.
Before long, Lin Wei led the group to the research institute.
This research institute was converted from a villa. Although it was only a simple renovation, it is already ready for use.
Harvey and the others followed Lin Wei into the research institute.
Their attention was drawn to a device on the ground.
With their knowledge, they immediately recognized that the device was a nuclear fusion device.
This small nuclear fusion device was placed inside a radiation-proof container.
Harvey looked at Lin Wei and asked in confusion:
"The project you're researching is controlled nuclear fusion?"
When it comes to research projects related to nuclear fusion, the only one Harvey can think of is controlled nuclear fusion.
Everyone's initial expectations were now completely dashed.
Controlled nuclear fusion is a scientific research project being conducted in countless research institutes around the world.
More than half of them had also worked on such research projects.
They know more about nuclear fusion than anyone else.
This is a problem that current scientific research cannot solve, and research on controlled nuclear fusion is unlikely to yield any results.
Lin Wei didn't say anything, but directly started the nuclear fusion device.
They saw Lin Wei activate the fusion device.
The expressions of the experts and professors in the room did not change much.
With their expertise, they could guess the ending without even watching.
Once a fusion reaction is formed, the plasma inside immediately becomes extremely violent, and it is almost impossible to stabilize it with current technology.
This device would probably melt in less than a second.
However, the scene of the device melting, which everyone had anticipated, did not occur.
Inside the activated fusion device, the plasma glowed continuously without any signs of malfunction.
"How... how is this possible!" Harvey's eyes widened, and his entire face changed color.
He ran to the nuclear fusion reactor as fast as he could and began to observe it.
The others followed suit and went forward to observe.
Everyone's face was filled with disbelief.
The nuclear fusion reactor actually stabilized, and the device was not destroyed.
If this were a large fusion reactor device covering thousands of square meters, no one would be surprised.
Take, for example, Dragon Country's "Circulation 3" fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device.
This nuclear fusion device achieved a fusion reaction lasting 403 seconds.
But the materials used in this device are among the most advanced in the world.
It consumed an unknown amount of resources, but even so, it could only be done in 403 seconds.
But the nuclear fusion device in front of us is just a very simple reactor, less than three meters in diameter, and with very few internal components.
"Impossible! How could such a small device, using such simple equipment and materials, possibly stabilize fusion plasma!"
Harvey stammered.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Only someone like him, who works in physics, knows how difficult controlled nuclear fusion is.
"Look, what is that blue energy?"
Experts have discovered the Spiritual Qi injected into the fusion reactor.
Harvey and the others immediately examined it closely, but they couldn't recognize what it was.
The fusion reaction lasted for about a minute before Lin Wei shut down the device.
Harvey rushed to Lin Wei and anxiously asked:
"Professor Lin, what is that blue energy? It's what stabilizes the plasma inside the reactor, right?"
Harvey was trembling all over, and the others were also looking at Lin Wei, waiting for Lin Wei answer.
"That's right, it's this blue energy that stabilizes nuclear fusion. This is a special energy we've discovered called Spiritual Qi."
Lin Wei took out a Spirit Stone from her person.
Upon seeing the Spirit Stone in Lin Wei's hand, Harvey immediately took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and began to examine it carefully.
"There's actually this kind of energy on Earth that can stabilize nuclear fusion. Why didn't we discover it before? What is it?"
Harvey looked at Lin Wei with a worried expression and asked.
He couldn't tell what the Spirit Stone was.
He was eager to know why this energy could stabilize the plasma from nuclear fusion.
Lin Wei said, "Please follow me, everyone."
Lin Wei then walked out of the research institute, and this time almost all the experts and professors followed her immediately.
At this point, no one mentioned the kidnapping anymore; all they wanted to know was what this Spiritual Qi actually was.
The group arrived at the open space of the manor.
Lin Wei immediately took out her phone and called Chen Feng: "Hey, release the mothership for a moment."
The experts and professors were all taken aback by Lin Wei's words.
But the next second, a shadow suddenly appeared in the sky above the manor, completely blocking out the sunlight.
Everyone immediately looked up at the sky and saw an enormous ship hovering above their heads.
This colossal ship was enormous, and its most eye-catching feature was its metal hull, which shimmered and changed colors under the sunlight.
The experts and professors present were instantly stunned when they saw the mothership.
Harvey even knelt down on the ground, gazing up at the massive space carrier trembling in the sky:
"My God... is this real?"
The enormous ship hovered above their heads, making everyone feel as if it were not real.
All the experts and professors were focused on the mothership in the sky, none of them wanting to look away for even a moment, fearing that it would disappear at any moment.
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Wei smiled.
Her expression when she first saw this space carrier was similar to those of these people.
Lin Wei learned that Chen Feng possessed a space carrier because she had seen the news.
She saw photos of the space carrier in the news, and the space carrier appeared in the Golden Triangle.
Lin Wei immediately thought of Chen Feng, so she contacted Chen Feng to confirm whether the space carrier really existed.
Chen Feng didn't hide anything and told her directly about the space carrier.
"Professor Lin, is this... alien technology?"
Harvey looked at Lin Wei, his breathing rapid, his blood pressure soaring due to emotional excitement.
Lin Wei nodded:
"That's right, I'm sure you've all heard about the discovery of alien spacecraft debris in the Golden Triangle. This space mothership is from an extraterrestrial civilization!"
Boom!
These words struck the hearts of the experts and professors like a thunderbolt.
Extraterrestrial technology!
Everyone was so excited that they became incoherent.
"I saw photos of a space carrier online last time, and I initially thought they were photoshopped, but it turns out they're real!"
"How exactly does this thing manage to float in the sky? What's its power source? Why can't I hear a single engine sound from such a massive structure?"
"What is the metal on its exterior? Why can it change color? What material is it made of?"
"."
Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Lin Wei immediately said seriously:
"Gentlemen, you are all leaders in your respective fields. The reason we invited you here today is to have you join our research program. The previous controlled nuclear fusion and the current space carrier are all related to this research program."
"The ultimate goal of this research project is to develop technologies that will completely transform human civilization, even technologies that will lead humanity into the interstellar age. This transcends nationality and race; it is our mission as researchers!"
Lin Wei's words ignited the passion in everyone present.
Let human civilization enter the interstellar age!
This could be said to be the biggest dream of these researchers throughout their lives.
Exploring the unknown and exploring the universe has always been a goal pursued by humankind.
Harvey looked at Lin Wei and said solemnly:
"Professor Lin Wei, I, Harvey, am willing to stay and participate in this research project that will change human civilization!"
Harvey, of course, wouldn't miss such an opportunity; he was getting old and didn't have many years left to live.
If he could dedicate the rest of his life to such groundbreaking research projects, he would have no regrets.
This has nothing to do with nations or anything else; it's all for humanity!
The others followed suit and spoke up one after another.
"I'd like to stay too!"
"I'd like to too."
"It is my honor to be able to work on such a great scientific research project!"
"."
Everyone in the room chose to stay, and their eyes were filled with determination.
Lin Wei nodded with a smile:
"Alright, from today onwards we're colleagues. But everyone needs to make arrangements for yourselves, since your disappearance will definitely cause a huge stir."
Harvey immediately replied, "I only have one wife, I'll just let her know!"
Lin Wei nodded with a smile:
"Please go and rest first. Tomorrow we will discuss the first research plan."
After speaking, Lin Wei glanced at a villa next to her.
Inside the villa, Chen Feng and Jack appeared.
He had already seen Lin Wei's gaze, Chen Feng smiled and remained silent.
It took him seven days to bring these top experts and professors to the Golden Triangle.
Although the research institutes and laboratories where these experts work are protected by military forces.
But with Chen Feng's methods, bringing these people to the Golden Triangle was naturally not a problem.
Chen Feng originally intended to forcibly take these people under control here.
But Lin Wei disagreed, saying she would persuade the experts and professors herself.
In response, Chen Feng could only let Lin Wei give it a try; if Lin Wei couldn't handle it, then he would step in.
But the result was beyond Chen Feng's expectations; Lin Wei actually managed to persuade these people.
Chen Feng felt that he had underestimated these scientists' passion for scientific research.
These people are sometimes willing to give up a lot for scientific research.
"Send someone to keep an eye on them," Chen Feng said to Jack beside him.
He was naturally not reassured just because these people voluntarily stayed.
These people must be monitored.
He also plans to refine soul imprints and plant them on these people later.
Jack, who was standing nearby, immediately said, "Don't worry, boss, my men are already keeping an eye on things."
Jack had no idea why Chen Feng had brought these old men here, nor did he understand what kind of research he was conducting.
But he would do whatever Chen Feng asked him to do.
"Was the satellite delivered today?" Chen Feng then asked.
Jack replied:
"Yes, they should arrive this afternoon."
Jack had already finalized a deal with SpaceX a few days ago.
This purchase involves Starlink satellites, which are communication satellites in low Earth orbit.
They bought a total of thirty rockets, along with a reusable launch vehicle that only needs refueling to launch back and forth.
As for money, I didn't spend a single penny this time.
They used rare metals from the Painting Scroll World to settle the debt, using a total of three pieces.
"Boss, I've already placed a large export order with Dragon Country for building materials and engineering equipment, all of which are what you requested. The total value of the order is 60 billion, but right now we don't have the funds..."
Jack brought it up himself.
This was something Chen Feng had instructed him to do before, and he immediately went to talk to Zhong Shan about it.
The Dragon Country side accepted the foreign trade order almost without hesitation.
Exporting has always been one of Dragon Country's strengths.
Jack was also given a certain discount.
After all, the more export products Dragon Country has, the more its enterprises can expand production and hire more workers.
This can also solve the problem of difficulty in finding employment.
Upon hearing that it was 60 billion, Chen Feng knew that this was no small sum of money, and the funds in Xingfeng Group's accounts were far from sufficient.
"Has the ransom from Cherry Blossom Country not been paid yet?"
Chen Feng inquired about this matter.
Kazuo Mitsui and others are currently imprisoned in a dungeon.
Chen Feng didn't have Jack kill these people directly; instead, he planned to exchange them for money.
Jack said somewhat angrily:
"Boss, you have no idea how stingy these guys are! I only asked for five billion US dollars, and they wouldn't even agree!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng glanced at Jack.
Five billion US dollars—even if Mitsui and his associates were made of gold, they probably wouldn't be worth that much.
