Now, Han Wenguang finally saw the thing that could change the world.
Early in the morning, his disciple hurriedly placed a thick magazine on Han Wenguang's desk.
Han Wenguang glanced at it, and it turned out to be the "Myriad Worlds" magazine that he hated the most. However, even though he hated it, this magazine had become a must-buy for all graduate students in a short period of time.
Why?
Because this magazine published all kinds of explosive papers, and the number of them was simply too many. At the same time, its influence on the world was increasing at an unbelievable rate.
Who would believe that a magazine that was only three years old had already become one of the top ten journals in the world with an impact factor? At the same time, it was the number one journal in materials science, electronic technology, applied chemistry, and even high energy physics.
This made Han Wenguang very depressed. This was because he was in the field of high energy physics. To him, if he wanted to publish a thesis in a journal, then "Myriad Worlds" would be the best choice. This was because it had a high impact factor and many people cited it. In the end, his academic achievements and reputation in the world would be much higher.
What made Han Wenguang even more confused was that Da Qian did not specialize in high energy physics and even used this as a reason to reject him. Then why did Da Qian do so many high energy physics papers in his company's journal?
Therefore, even though he hated it, Han Wenguang still subscribed to "Myriad Worlds" every time. He wanted to see if the Daqian had any new explosive research results in the field of high energy physics.
"Did you discover anything important?" Even though Han Wenguang was a bit narrow-minded, he wasn't stupid. This wasn't the time for "Myriad Worlds" to publish a new issue, but his disciple was in such a hurry to send a magazine over. This magazine was obviously problematic!
"Change the world! The entire world is about to change!! "The disciple panted heavily.
"Change the world?" These four words again, this made Han Wenguang stunned at first, then he immediately grabbed the book. He discovered that this magazine was actually a supplement, and from start to finish, there was only one paper: "Thoughts on realizing controllable nuclear fusion, material research, particle properties, and some experiments."
Signed: Jia Changtian.
It only took Han Wenguang an hour to finish reading the entire thesis. He was a little dazed. Then, he asked his student to call home and tell him that he might not be home for three or four days. He had to work overtime at school.
In addition, he also asked his students to bring him some bread and milk every time it was mealtime. Then, he picked up the supplement again.
This time, Han Wenguang read almost word by word. Every time he read a sentence, he had to think about it for a while. After he completely understood the meaning of the sentence, he continued to read.
After reading for five days, Han Wenguang put down the supplement in his hand. Looking at the table full of bread crumbs, milk juice, and various packaging bags, he felt that the scenery was exceptionally beautiful.
"If all these experiments are true!" Han Wenguang mumbled to himself, "Then the fourth industrial revolution is coming. Is humanity finally going to have eternal energy?
Human beings were used to calling every major scientific advancement as an industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the industrial revolution of steam. Since then, human beings had entered the age of steam.
The second industrial revolution was the industrial revolution of electricity. Since then, human beings had entered the age of electricity.
The third industrial revolution was the revolution of biotechnology and information technology. Humans had entered the age of information.
This was the first three industrial revolutions that were recognized by the scientific community. Now, there were people who proposed the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 or something, but there were very few people who actually believed in it.
Industry 4.0, in other words, was about using information technology to realize industrial industrialization. Although it was revolutionary, it was still in the third industrial revolution. It couldn't be considered a breakthrough into the fourth industrial revolution.
Actually, Han Wenguang always had an idea. Once there was a breakthrough in high energy physics, controllable nuclear fusion would become a reality. Then, humanity would truly enter a new era.
This was because controllable nuclear fusion produced a huge amount of energy, but the cost was extremely low. It was truly inexhaustible. The cost of energy would be further reduced.
But this was only one aspect. The most important thing was that the power output would be greatly increased. Currently, the most powerful nuclear power station could only produce less than 1% of the power output of controllable nuclear fusion.
Some people might be curious. Why did this matter? Humans could not use such a huge amount of power. When the time comes, they would still have to convert to a lower power source.
This was the case for individual humans, but it was not the case for the entire human race. First of all, a huge amount of energy could allow a lot of technological breakthroughs.
Among them, the biggest impact was aerospace technology. In the past, due to energy constraints, the upper limit of human spacecraft speed was very low, and the range they could travel was also very low. Humans were almost unable to build a large spacecraft that could carry people out of the solar system with their own power.
Even going to Mars was very difficult.
In the past, the United States built the terrifying Hercules rocket in order to land on the moon. The Hercules rocket was not because of the technology, but because of its terrifying thrust. The strongest rocket could reach 200 tons.
Then why did it need such a powerful thrust?
It was not because the lunar module that the Americans transported was heavy. It was because they carried a huge amount of fuel. More than half of the 200 tons of thrust came from the fuel.
Because the rockets at that time used kerosene as fuel, the efficiency of the fuel was unimaginable. To land on the moon, one had to carry a large amount of fuel. Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach the moon.
And to go to Mars, the amount of fuel needed was even more terrifying. Based on the technology of the Americans back then, they would need at least a few hundred thousand tons of fuel. This was obviously unrealistic.
In fact, until now, humans had not been able to find enough fuel for a manned spacecraft to reach Mars.
This was because the fuel had to be light enough. If it was too heavy, it would not be able to launch. If it was too light, it would not be able to support all the fuel needed for a round trip. This was a difficult problem to solve.
But now, with the advent of controllable nuclear fusion technology, the total amount of fuel needed for a round trip to Mars was less than 100 kilograms. The amount needed to leave the solar system was more than 100 tons. It could even be launched using the Hercules rocket.
This was why controllable nuclear fusion technology could bring about the fourth industrial revolution.
And now, this revolution would start from the hands of the Daqian, from the hands of Jia Changtian.
