Although this was the case, the appearance of the wormhole did give Earth some relief. Although the resources of the planet were mostly squandered by the Amway civilization, it was enough to extend the development of Earth civilization for decades to a century. But at the same time, there was also the threat of the insectoids. The insectoids were tied to too many resources of Earth.
From the perspective of civilization, a conservative estimate was that humanity needed to have the technology to travel beyond the solar system in 40 years.
If Lan Mu didn't deal with the insectoids, this time would be even shorter, perhaps only a few months, because Gaia said that CANC couldn't hold on for much longer.
However, space travel technology involved many aspects, such as power, basic materials, navigation, and space weapons, all of which were crucial.
With America's current technological level, it would take at least 50 years for them to land on Mars.
Lan Mu was able to find out the hidden technological capabilities of each country through the internet. The United States was ranked first in terms of comprehensive technology, but the Hua Nation was ranked first in terms of energy and power. In this regard, the motherland had quietly surpassed the West.
When Lan Mu wanted to see CANC's technological strength that was likely to surpass every country, he found that CANC's database could not be found in the world's internet.
Thinking that he had people in the International Space Team, he immediately pulled up the information that the blood breed spy secretly sent a few times a while ago.
"According to Zhuo Yue's data, the International Space Team uses a completely different network. Earth's internet can't find the Space Team's network, but this network really exists in the South Pole. And Gaia said that CANC has an anomaly that is like a god in the network. Their core technology is well protected, and all information is encrypted and stored. "
"Even if I have the ability to control data, I can't hack into CANC's core data network."
"I can only use the technology provided by Zhuo Yue to estimate CANC's technological strength."
"CANC might not surpass America in other fields, but in the field of aerospace, they have far surpassed Earth. According to the information provided by Zhuo Yue before the wormhole appeared, they have mature interstellar beam navigation technology and cold storage hibernation technology, perfect nanomaterials and superconductive materials, and even a decent quantum computer."
"The top scientists of each country are assigned to different projects according to their knowledge. The main problems to be solved are controllable nuclear fusion power and better detector technology. For the time being, 90% of the main members of the Space Team are exploring these two major problems."
"Once the problem of controllable nuclear fusion power can be solved, the power engine, fuel, and space capacity problems will all be solved. Similarly, better communication can also solve the detector problem. "
These problems were far from being solved by CANC. Based on calculations, it would take at least 30 years for the International Space Team to realize these problems.
Perhaps the ruins of the city on the ocean planet could shorten the process. CANC was now frantically searching for valuable technology on that planet, but Lan Mu knew that he could not pin his hopes on the things left behind by the escaped civilization.
A civilization had begun preparing to abandon their mother planet decades ago. It should be known that the insectoids could also learn human technology. With decades of preparation, how could the Amway civilization still leave behind interstellar navigation technology? Were they going to leave those behind so the insectoids could make biological spaceships?
Therefore, humans could only rely on themselves to step into the sea of stars. This was the tribulation of every civilization.
The opportunities that nature gave to civilization were limited. If humanity did not have the ability to travel long distances before nature collapsed, there would be no more opportunities in the future. They could only be trapped on the planet and wait for death, becoming a hopeless civilization.
"Maybe I can help …"
Lan Mu went to NASA in Houston. Due to the establishment of the International Space Team, the backbone of the American space industry had been sent away. The famous NASA had become an idle department. All they did was maintain satellites and detectors, and occasionally observe the stars to pass the time.
The establishment of the Space Team stopped all domestic space programs and research came to a halt.
"But the instruments and equipment are still there. That's enough."
"Diana, immediately gather the remaining NASA technicians and turn them into bloodlings. Then help me design the power engine."
"Yes! True Ancestor. "
…
Time passed day by day. For four days, Lan Mu didn't sleep or rest. He continued to immerse himself in the development of the controllable nuclear fusion power engine.
Money, of course, was something he had plenty of. The vampire corporations spared no effort in purchasing the heavy elements he needed.
Lan Baihe's foundation of various materials was relatively mature. It was enough to support this development.
He had the equipment, the materials, and the rest was manpower.
More than three thousand technicians in NASA were gathered. Almost five thousand engineers from the major bloodlings were transferred to help.
Those technicians weren't the best, but they had worked here for a long time and had a good foundation. They were much more reliable than some inexperienced doctoral students.
After they became bloodlings, there was a period of confusion. But their boss was also a bloodlings. Their colleagues were all bloodlings. What else could they do? They could only accept immortality.
In the past few days, their worldview was turned upside down. A mysterious person wearing a full-body bodysuit with his face covered was the chief engineer of this big project. He led them to do all kinds of experiments.
They knew that this was to accumulate experimental data for the controllable nuclear fusion power engine design. But this technology wasn't something that could be done in a short time. Was there a need to work overtime?
But they had no choice. The Queen's orders had to be carried out. As long as the mysterious person didn't stop, they had to help. Fortunately, there were many of them. They could take turns to rest and implement the mysterious person's various plans.
A group of people experimented with methods that they had never thought of before. They didn't know how the mysterious person came up with these amazing ideas. Some ideas were eliminated after experiments, while some ideas were kept and constantly improved.
The technicians had a very fulfilling few days. They watched the progress of the research and development change almost every day. They were quickly approaching the final results.
"… Using a laser to ignite the heavy nuclei to generate fission, and then ignite the heavy hydrogen.
"The laser doesn't hit the heavy hydrogen, but the heavier nuclei. If these heavier nuclei can be split under the action of X-rays, then it will generate enough energy to ignite the heavy hydrogen, and then achieve controllable nuclear fusion. This is a bit like a hydrogen bomb, detonating a hydrogen bomb with an atomic bomb. But the nuclear reaction is very small. It's a controllable nuclear! "
Lan Mu was surrounded by a pile of blueprints. He was explaining the latest ideas to a group of energy power technicians.
The group of people listened in a daze. They looked carefully at the design plan. Their minds were buzzing.
"Four days … This is the 39th plan …"
"Oh my god, who is this person? This is the first time I've seen someone do research like this … "
"It's as if she has detailed technical information …"
"And her experiment method is very safe. Every experiment is supervised by her personally. There are no hidden dangers at all …"
"If she had the technical information, she could've started it directly. There's no need to do so many constructive experiments."
"So she came up with all this by herself?"
"Does she really want to complete controllable nuclear fusion technology in a few days?"
In the early morning of the sixth day of Lan Mu's transformation, the world's first controllable nuclear fusion engine was created. This was almost a miracle.
According to the 39th plan, controllable nuclear fusion technology was finally successful.
A group of old and young technicians and engineers gathered around the brand new power engine. Tears were streaming down their faces.
"We succeeded?"
"We succeeded!"
"The new energy era is here!"
They couldn't believe this was real. They hurriedly loaded it onto a small spaceship for testing.
Start, fire, all data normal, increase power, emergency ceasefire, shutdown … all in one go!
While the top scientists were still studying the theory at Antarctica and Global Force, a group of technicians had already created it in advance.
If the International Space Team in Antarctica knew about this, wouldn't they vomit blood?
Lan Mu was tired, very tired.
Originally, he didn't need to develop it in such a hurry. However, when he was immersed in the research, one idea after another popped up. It was as if inspiration was free. He couldn't help but indulge in it. He kept experimenting until he finally succeeded. Four days passed just like that.
Was controllable nuclear fusion difficult? It was difficult, but it was also very close to humans. In theory, it could be achieved, but it still couldn't be achieved. Humans were always a little bit behind this technology. It was as if they could touch it very soon. However, decades had passed and they still couldn't succeed. This was a technology that could lead to major breakthroughs when inspiration was in place.
This was also the reason why Lan Mu could develop it on his own. As long as he had enough experimental data to support it, he would always have inspiration.
He solved one of the two major problems, but the other one wasn't so easy. A brand-new communication technology was still out of his reach. At most, he could improve the current communication technology a little, but he couldn't develop a new communication technology with a higher level of principles.
For example, the gravitational wave detector. This thing was still in the embryonic stage of theory or even fantasy. It was something that Lan Mu couldn't understand at all.
Lan Mu, who had a deep brain development, didn't have the corresponding knowledge, and he couldn't invent technology out of thin air. He was a bottleneck breaker. If there was a technology that could be done by the current human foundation, but they were stuck in a bottleneck and couldn't solve it, Lan Mu was the right person. He could easily break through the bottleneck.
His development required the support of large amounts of data. Even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook without rice. In order to develop a brand-new communication technology, CANC was researching gravitational wave detectors. This was a technology that even his brain had no clue about. Lan Mu felt like CANC wouldn't be able to produce results even if they were given a thousand years. They were simply going in the wrong direction.
"I can build a basic long-distance spaceship first, and when I get more resources, I'll think about more distant technologies …"
"But there's a problem. Right now, the United States can no longer support such a huge project. All the aerospace talents in the world have been sent to the International Space Team, and the relevant resources from all over the world have been concentrated by CANC. Now, even Lan Bai Society doesn't have the ability to build … Who will I give this technology to? CANC? "
Lan Mu felt a little speechless. He tried his best to solve this problem, but no matter who he gave it to, it would still end up in CANC's hands. Even if he was going to replace CANC in the near future, what if he couldn't destroy the Zerg in a short period of time? What if CANC got the technology and became more difficult to deal with? Of course, he didn't want to give away technology.
"Which other force has the ability to do so without benefiting CANC?"
A country popped up in Lan Mu's mind, and he smiled.
"Hua!"
…
