The next morning, Luo Yuan gently moved her snow-white thighs and arms away from him.
Luo Yuan got up and put on his clothes. He turned around and looked at Chen Xinjie who was still frowning in her sleep. He sighed with a complicated expression.
His brain was filled with lust last night and he did not think much about it. Now that he was awake, he recalled the details of last night. He could clearly feel that it was done on purpose.
Everything seemed like an act, but he was not a real actor after all, so he could not tell the truth from the lies.
Coupled with Chen Xinjie's occasional sad expression and the fact that the clerk had booked a double room, Luo Yuan could guess what was going on even though he was in the situation.
The Reconstruction Area was worried about him!
Especially since he had brought such shocking information, it would be strange if the Reconstruction Area did not do anything to confirm it.
It was a sugar-coated bullet! Luo Yuan mumbled to himself.
Luo Yuan looked at Chen Xinjie who was sleeping soundly with her breasts exposed. His dissatisfaction had mostly dissipated.
This time, the Reconstruction Area had achieved their goal and had planted a spy around him, so they could be more assured of him. At the same time, Luo Yuan had also eaten a sugar-coated bullet. The only victim was Chen Xinjie who was forced to accept the mission.
...
Luo Yuan and Chen Xinjie sat opposite each other in the restaurant of the hostel.
"Let's forget about last night. From now on, we are just colleagues. This kind of thing will not happen again." Chen Xinjie was no longer smiling. She looked cold.
Luo Yuan quietly looked at her expression and thought it was funny, "Is she playing hard to get again? Or was it her true thoughts?
Soon, he gave up. No matter how sincere her words were, he could not expose her. He could only play along with her. At least a spy that he had roughly confirmed was better than an inexplicable person. Although it was not a threat to him, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After thinking about it, he said, "I'm sorry.
"You said the same thing yesterday. Don't worry, I'm not a clingy person."
"That's good." Chen Xinjie put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a towel. She was about to get up and go back to her room. She frowned and took a deep breath.
"Do you want me to help you?" Luo Yuan smiled awkwardly. She had been tortured last night, and she had only managed to get up when it was almost noon.
"No need." Chen Xinjie stared at Luo Yuan and rejected him coldly.
Suddenly, Luo Yuan's expression changed and he stood up immediately. Chen Xinjie was shocked as she realized that Luo Yuan's target was not her.
She quickly followed Luo Yuan's gaze and saw a snow-white wall. Other than that, she could not see anything else. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she suddenly felt the ground shake. Then, there was a muffled sound from afar. It sounded like thunder!
Chen Xinjie's body swayed a little, but she managed to stand up. The earthquake was not big, only around a magnitude of three, but it still caused panic in the restaurant. The originally quiet restaurant became noisy. The earthquake had just ended not long ago, and the terrifying memory was still fresh. The crowd hesitated, not knowing if they should escape or stay in the same place.
Fortunately, the tremors came and went quickly, and they soon calmed down.
"What happened? What were you looking at just now?" Chen Xinjie was relieved and quickly asked.
Luo Yuan shook his head. He could not explain the feeling. His body could vaguely sense all kinds of invisible waves in the air, including electromagnetic waves. These waves transmitted information about the source of the tremors. He had already sensed it a few seconds before the tremors reached him.
It was a big explosion, like a nuclear bomb, but it was much smaller.
"What? The fusion device exploded? This is impossible. The fusion device will not explode. " Luo Yuan heard someone talking in the corner of the restaurant. Although the person was trying to suppress the voice, Luo Yuan could still hear it clearly.
...
No, it can't be. The device itself has gone through many tests. It's very safe and has a high standard of earthquake resistance. Even if it falls down, it can still operate normally. Moreover, the last ignition is still a few days away. It's usually off. How could such an explosion happen? "
...
"Someone must have sabotaged this place. This is malfeasance. No, this is inhumane. "
Luo Yuan's facial expression changed when the nuclear fusion device exploded.
Recently, there was a lot of publicity about the nuclear fusion power station in the newspaper. Recently, it was said that there had been a breakthrough in the controllable nuclear fusion power station and it was close to being practical.
As long as Luo Yuan was in the Firearms Bureau, he would read the newspaper every day. He had a general understanding of the controllable nuclear fusion power station. Compared to the nuclear fission substation, the energy density of the controllable nuclear fusion power station was higher. It could almost be considered as an unlimited energy source. Five to six of these nuclear fusion power stations could supply the energy of the entire Reconstruction Area.
What was more fortunate was that the space storm had brought the end of the world to mankind. However, it was also because of the space storm that there was no shortage of Helium-3 on Earth. There was no need to excavate it from the moon. Even the reserves in the Reconstruction Area were enough to supply the Reconstruction Area with energy for hundreds of years.
Luo Yuan was very clear about the significance of the controllable nuclear fusion. As long as the controllable nuclear fusion was successful, the entire Reconstruction Area would undergo a revolutionary change. At the very least, the situation of mankind would be greatly improved.
Luo Yuan did not know much about electric weapons. At least, he knew that the electromagnetic cannon consumed a lot of energy. Unless it was a critical moment, the powerful electromagnetic cannon with a long barrel would not be activated. This was because every time it was activated, it would consume a large amount of energy. This meant that some of the factories in the industrial area would be forced to stop working.
Similarly, the unlimited amount of energy meant that laser weapons would be put into practical use. Lasers were stealthy and instantaneous. They could attack at the speed of light. As long as the target was locked on, it would mean that the target had been hit.
This technology was not science fiction. In fact, it had been developed a long time ago. The theory was complete. Before the apocalypse, a few countries, including China, had already tested some of them as weapons and put them into use.
However, the weakness of this weapon was very obvious. It was heavily affected by the atmosphere. When the laser was moving forward, the collision between the air and the laser would result in ionization and diffraction. It consumed a large amount of energy and was greatly affected by the climate.
However, as long as there was an unlimited amount of energy, these weaknesses could be ignored. If it was combined with the anti-missile technology before the apocalypse, the entire sky of the Reconstruction Area would be safe.
However, Luo Yuan could not believe that such an important nuclear fusion device had accidentally exploded.
Was it an accident or a conspiracy?
...
The old man who was on the phone had already put down the phone. He looked depressed and left in a hurry.
"You stay here. I'll go out and have a look." Luo Yuan looked away and said to Chen Xinjie.
"Alright, come back quickly." Chen Xinjie said.
Luo Yuan nodded and walked out of the hostel. He sensed for a while and chose a direction to go. He then ran towards the location of the explosion.
New Capital City was the capital of the Reconstruction Area. In fact, it was not that big. The mountains on both sides greatly limited its area. If the area of the underground was not included, it was even smaller than Hope City.
As it was still daytime, there were not many people on the street. The empty road allowed Luo Yuan to run as much as he wanted.
In just three to four minutes, he had reached the outskirts.
The location of the explosion was not difficult to find. Even if an ordinary person stood there, he would be able to spot it.
After such a long time, the explosion had completely subsided. However, there was still a strange white cloud that looked like a pile of ice cream. It was similar to the mushroom cloud formed by the explosion of a hydrogen bomb. However, compared to a normal hydrogen bomb, its range was pitifully small.
However, no matter how small it was, it was still a nuclear fusion device. Looking more than 10 kilometers away, there was a hundred-meter-wide crater that had been turned into glass by the high temperature. There were also weeds and shrubs that had fallen after the explosion. Fortunately, the nuclear fusion laboratory was far away. Otherwise, the explosion would have been enough to damage New Capital City.
Luo Yuan did not go closer. He only watched from afar. He was not afraid of the radiation from the high-energy particles, but he did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Soon, a large number of armored military transport vehicles passed by. They were filled with anti-chemical soldiers in protective suits. Soon, the area of the explosion was isolated by warning tape.
Then, there were more than 10 large excavators. They did not wait for the crater to completely cool down before they started to dig. As time passed, there were more and more construction vehicles. A large number of anti-chemical soldiers in protective suits were walking around the crater with instruments in their hands. They seemed to be detecting something.
Luo Yuan watched from afar for a while, but he did not see anything. He then turned around and walked slowly towards the guest house.
After a few steps, he suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at the group of soldiers who were probing everywhere with instruments in their hands. He took a deep breath. Could this be the work of the extraterrestrial civilization in space?
During the meeting yesterday, a scientific consultant had predicted that the technological level of the extraterrestrial civilization was 100 to 150 years ahead of Earth. In the eyes of humans, there was a huge gap. However, in the scale of the universe, such a short period of time was almost negligible. Perhaps an interstellar voyage would take more than 10 years or even 10 years.
Recently, the information about nuclear fusion was not hidden at all. In order to boost the morale of the people, whenever there was a new technological breakthrough, it would be publicized everywhere on the internet or in the news of the reconstruction area.
After all, their previous enemies were all mutated beasts. There was no need to hide it, and they did not pay attention to the issue of confidentiality.
To the civilization that could travel interstellar, it was not difficult to decipher language and read the information on the internet as long as the data was large enough. Even if there was a difference in the development of technology, they could rely on their superior technology to decipher it quickly.
This was equivalent to one-sided transparency. Humans had no secrets from the extraterrestrial civilization.
The key technology like controllable nuclear fusion was the prerequisite technology to truly leave Earth and step into space. It was like the era of cold weapons evolving to the era of gunpowder. Although there was still a huge gap, the risk had increased exponentially.
If the extraterrestrial civilization had been paying close attention to humans, such a breakthrough would have been impossible to ignore.
