Chen Chen slowly opened his eyes on the Medpod 3000.
He slowly opened his eyes on the Blacklight Fully-automated Medical Platform.
The first thing he saw was a milky-white room. The room was simple in style. There was only a fully automated medical platform that looked like a CT machine and a simple but luxurious carpet.
There was an oil painting hanging on the wall. Chen Chen in the oil painting had a pair of sharp eyes. His insufferably arrogant gaze was almost tangible, radiating from the oil painting. Just from this gaze alone, one could tell that the painter's skills were probably world-class.
At this time, Chen Chen sat up on the medical platform as usual and stretched slightly.
"What a long, sweet dream..."
Chen Chen yawned slightly and murmured in a low voice. Then, he stepped barefoot on the cc-tapis hand-woven carpet and stood up.
"Sir Godfather, would you like breakfast?"
As he spoke, a beautiful girl in a white dress pushed a dining cart in from outside the door. On the dining cart, there were many extremely luxurious dishes. These dishes were arranged in a variety of shapes. They looked pleasing to the eye and were very expensive.
"X, any interesting news today?"
Chen Chen casually walked to the side of the high-tech silver dining table and asked indifferently.
"There's a lot of new news."
The girl broke into a smile. In an instant, the bright room seemed to be eclipsed. She placed a few dishes on the table and then tilted her head cutely. In an instant, four overlapping webpage images flashed in front of Chen Chen.
Among them, at the top was an old man. The man had strange white hair. At this time, he was saying something excitedly and the image was frozen at the moment when he spoke.
Chen Chen looked down and saw that below the man's photo, there was this headline in bold bold font:
"That man is back. Today, Don?? Don Lang announced on Twitter that he will continue to run for the 48th president of North America. Currently, the Republican Party has expressed its full support. "
"Not bad."
Chen Chen took a bite of the food in his hand. He casually swiped through the first web page. Suddenly, with a "swoosh", the web page slid into the shadows at the edge, and then a second web page appeared in front of Chen Chen.
"Steven Spielberg has announced that he will be shooting a live-action version of New Age Evangelion. The film will be adapted from the 1995 anime of the same name directed by Hideaki Anno. It tells the story of New Age Evangelion …"
Chen Chen skimmed through it without any expression on his face. Then, the second page crumbled with a "crash", revealing the third page below:
"The Earth Federation makes an important announcement: The 'CUERB Project' from three years ago has been a complete success. The world's first commercial super tokamak reactor has been officially put into operation in Switzerland. As of yesterday, the reactor has been running for 24 hours continuously, generating a total of 24 million kilowatt hours of electricity. The reactor is currently stable, and the Q value has exceeded 100."
"Godfather, are you just going to watch them commercialize this technology?"
Little X pouted and asked indignantly.
"X, you're not a child anymore. Don't be so petty."
Chen Chen waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I've provided them with many technologies, but the nuclear fusion reactor is the only thing I've allowed them to use in the commercial field. Do you know why?"
Without waiting for Little X to answer, Chen Chen explained himself, "Among the other technologies, whether it's room-temperature superconductivity or super artificial intelligence, they can only be used in the military field. Only we have the right to use them in the commercial field to make money. The reason is that even if these technologies are used to make money, they can only rake in tens of billions of dollars per year at most. But what about the nuclear fusion reactor?
"As we all know, electricity is the primary source of energy in modern life and almost the only source of energy. Once the nuclear fusion reactor is officially commercialized, it means that firepower, water power, wind power, and even nuclear fission power plants will be officially eliminated. Nuclear fusion will be the only energy source left in the world. What kind of monopoly will this be? Which country would be willing to hand over their own interests to a foreign company? "
"It can even be said that the wealth earned from all other technologies combined is less than one-tenth of the profit earned from the nuclear fusion reactor technology. This is why I've agreed to provide the nuclear fusion reactor technology to the four major continents unconditionally."
At this point, Chen Chen heaved a sigh of relief. "Because I only have two choices, either give it away for free or go to war. My goal is to cooperate with the four major continents. Do I even need to explain my choice?"
"That's true."
Little X nodded in agreement.
Chen Chen shook his head and did not continue. He swiped through the third webpage and revealed the last one.
"The semifinals of the second season of Call of Duty, a legal variety show hosted by Blackwatch, has come to an end. The winner of the Northern American division is Pedro Leon from the New York division."
Under this description, a handsome young man in high spirits was waving at the audience. As for his legs, there were two black, exquisitely designed bionic prosthetics.
"It looks like he chose to betray his partners in the end?"
When Chen Chen saw this, a strange expression appeared on his face. "What about his four partners?"
"Sara, the captain of the third B.S.S. unit, personally took action. Three of them died on the spot and one of them was captured alive. Sara wanted to find out the identity of the investor from her."
Little X replied, "Unfortunately, Sara didn't know that Christina didn't know who Cain was either. She would never have guessed that the so-called Cain was actually the captain of the BHB Combative Police Force, Brook."
"It's fine, what they do next is up to them."
Chen Chen was noncommittal. "If Sara reports to us, tell her to handle it herself. By the way, how's Leon's popularity in Northern America?"
"Very good."
Little X answered, "In the semifinals, he received 35.23 million votes with an audience support rate of over 35%. He completely crushed the runner-up. Although some of this was due to our professional makeup artists and stylists as well as the help of the editing and screen presence, he still needs to be strong to forge iron. He's a solid performer as well, easily placing him in the top five among all the contestants."
Chen Chen smiled. "In that case, we'll add fuel to the fire. Before the conclusion of the competition, we'll spread the word that the champion of Call of Duty will be eligible to join the BHB Combative Police Force."
Little X nodded nonchalantly. "Then he'll have to face his nemesis. What's he going to do?"
"I've looked through his file. His goal isn't to become Blacklight Biotechnology's enemy nor is it to kill Brook to avenge his mother. His goal is to find dirt on Brook and drag him down from his pedestal."
Chen Chen finished the nutrient solution in one go and said, "Brook's value has been squeezed dry by now. He's been up to no good in the past two years, even investing in small organizations that are hostile to the company. It's time to replace him."
"Understood, I'll make Leon into a rising superhero."
Little X nodded and suddenly said, "It's not just the outside world, there's also good news from the Spire Experimental Base. The high-energy physics experimental team led by Professor Charles has made a breakthrough in the final technical hurdle and created a 'high-offset metal' that can be mass-produced in small quantities."
"What, they finally succeeded?"
Chen Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this news. He had finished his breakfast by now and eagerly got up to leave. "Come on, let's go take a look!"
...
Three years ago, Chen Chen carried out a second expansion of the long-completed Spire Experimental Base. Not only did he increase the area by 300%, but he also dug a ring of tunnels around the base to set up the particle accelerator that everyone in the world dreamed of.
Relying on the technology brought back from the dimension of Elysium and some key equipment purchased from Europe, this particle accelerator would be the most advanced accelerator in human history, second to none.
At this time, after nearly a year of construction, this particle accelerator that cost billions had been set up and operated for two years.
In fact, this price was considered very low for such a high-end instrument. However, its power output was extremely high, reaching up to 100 TeV. At this time, Professor Charles was leading dozens of physicists who had joined God's Forbidden Zone and hundreds of assistants to observe the physics experiments in the accelerator.
"The atoms have entered sub-light speed in the linear accelerator, preparing to be introduced into the ring acceleration rectifier, strong magnetic field in progress...
"Successfully entered the ring accelerator, beginning a new round of acceleration... Current speed is 93.7352% of the speed of light and still accelerating!
"Speed is enough! Prepare to turn on the ultra-high field strength magnetic generator, prepare the resonator, get ready to collect those neutrons!
"The atoms have passed the strong magnetic zone, immediate inspection!
"Report, signs of atom tearing have been detected. The protons and atoms have been successfully separated, leaving only the neutrons unaffected by the strong magnetic zone. The particles are beginning to decelerate!
"Prepare the strong electric combiner, prepare to bond the electrons and neutrons, don't let the neutrons slow down too much!"
"..."
"Mission successfully completed, virtual particles have been formed, initiating the second round of acceleration!"
"It has been accelerated to 98% of the speed of light, Professor Charles, do we need to continue accelerating?"
"The speed is almost there, prepare to enter the linear orbit. We must hit the protons into the aluminum atoms, only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!"
"The vacuum chamber has been charged, ready to..."
In the entire high-energy physics laboratory, everyone wore a solemn expression. They looked at a device that looked like a boiler in front of them. Suddenly, the device shook violently. Charles even felt a slight tremor under his feet.
Following that, a large amount of data emerged on the screen responsible for collecting data. This data flowed like a waterfall. The scientist in charge of the observation wiped away his sweat and stared at the screen. When he saw one of the data, he finally showed a look of joy!
"We did it!"
The scientist suddenly smiled like a child. He stood up abruptly and shouted to the crowd, "We did it, the protons have been hit into the aluminum atoms, we've created the hardest substance in the world!"
After hearing this, everyone present could not help but cheer loudly. Amidst the wild cheers of the crowd, Chen Chen stepped into the high-energy physics laboratory.
"Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen!"
"Boss Chen!"
Seeing Chen Chen's appearance, many people quickly stopped cheering and looked at Chen Chen. Chen Chen only waved his hand and walked directly to Professor Charles. At this time, the professor with the balding hairstyle had become much younger than before. He nodded at Chen Chen and said, "Boss, did you come because of the success of the experiment?"
"Of course, it's been two years and your high-energy physics laboratory has burned through billions. Now that there's a result, of course I have to come and see."
Chen Chen joked, then looked at the huge high-pressure vacuum chamber. "How is it, can it be opened now?"
"It's in the process of releasing pressure, it'll open in about ten minutes."
Charles explained, then continued to busy himself with the instructions.
Chen Chen waited for a while. About ten minutes later, a normal silver-white metal the size of a fingernail was removed by one of the researchers using pliers.
Chen Chen glanced at it. This was the so-called high-offset metal – a piece of isotope made from metallic aluminum.
The so-called isotope was actually different atoms of the same element. Their atoms had the same number of protons but the number of neutrons was not the same.
For example, neptunium, deuterium, and tritium all had one proton in their nuclei, but the number of neutrons in their nuclei was not the same, so they were each other's isotopes.
Since the number of protons was the same, their nuclear charge and the number of electrons outside the nucleus were also the same. They had the same electron shell structure, so the chemical properties of the isotopes were also the same.
However, due to the different number of neutrons, the mass of each atom would be different, and some physical properties at the level of the atomic nucleus would also be different.
After being bombarded by a particle accelerator on a large scale and filled with a large number of neutrons, the physical properties of the aluminum metal had undergone earth-shattering changes...
At this time, when the aluminum was brought into the testing room, it was quickly placed on a hardness testing machine.
After all, this was the first time they had created a high-offset metal. When they saw that the testing had begun, all the scientists gathered outside the observation room and looked inside through the observation window.
They saw that under the operation of an assistant, a constantly rotating cutting machine was turned on. The disc-shaped cutting blade rotated at high speed. At the same time, the assistant pressed the machine down hard and directly cut the aluminum plate!
At once, there was a loud noise. At the same time, the aluminum plate burst into flames and sparks flew everywhere!
However, in less than a few seconds, the assistant stopped again and at the same time, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"How is it?"
Professor Charles immediately asked from outside the observation room.
"There are no cut marks on the sample."
The assistant removed the fingernail-sized aluminum from the fixed device and waved it at everyone.
"As expected!"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised. Chen Chen even walked to the window himself and stared at the assistant's movements.
From his position, after the high-speed cutting just now, the sample was still smooth as a mirror, without the slightest trace of being cut. This was almost impossible on a piece of aluminum. After all, aluminum was not very hard, let alone strong.
"Try using a tungsten-molybdenum general-purpose high-speed steel cutter and extend the cutting time to thirty seconds!"
At this time, Professor Charles continued to order.
"Understood."
The assistant took the sample to another cutting machine and experimented again. Following that, there was another burst of sparks and a loud noise swept through the laboratory. However, this time, in less than twenty seconds, the assistant stopped again.
"Why did you stop again?" Someone could not help asking.
The assistant was troubled. "It's not that I want to stop, it's just that the cutter has been destroyed..."
With just this one sentence, everyone was instantly shocked. Although they were already mentally prepared, when they saw this magical metal appear in front of them, everyone felt like it was an illusion...
