Chapter 287 Breaking News, Global Shock
In the past few months, due to the Dragon Kingdom's absolute leading economic and military strength, a new world structure of one superpower and multiple powers has been created, making the entire Blue Star appear extremely calm.
All countries have calmed down and concentrated on pursuing development under the new business rules.
Time passed quietly.
Until June 23rd.
A piece of news suddenly shocked the whole world—Apocalypse Group invented a normal-temperature superconductor.
This news stirred up waves, immediately attracting attention and heated discussion from all over the world.
The news was not released by Tianqi Group, but a netizen posted a screenshot of the page where Tianqi Group applied for a patent for the invention of room-temperature superconductors.
The application deadline is June 22.
That was the day before the news came out.
At the same time, the invention patent application documents also clearly record the various materials required for room temperature superconductivity, as well as some technical parameters.
This made many capitals around the world take notice and began to speculate on superconducting concept stocks and several major materials, causing their prices to soar.
Countries around the world were also shocked by the news.
If the application for an invention patent came from another scientific team, no one would take it so seriously, because the application for an invention patent does not mean that the invention is really effective.
Even if the application is approved, it does not mean that the technology is really effective.
Just like some people say that mixing flour and cement in a specific ratio and adding a certain proportion of water can turn it into a high explosive. This kind of patent application may also be approved.
But that doesn't mean this formula is effective.
The review agency will only review whether it overlaps with other people's patents, etc., and will not test it.
The same is true for the invention patent of normal temperature superconductors. Applying for it is just an application.
But when it comes to Tianqi Group, the meaning is completely different.
No one will question the level of Tianqi Group, let alone that Tianqi Group will apply for unverified invention patents indiscriminately.
Tianqi Group’s reputation and past glory made everyone immediately choose to believe in the authenticity of room temperature superconductors.
And just when the world is talking about it.
Apocalypse Group may have seen that the news had been leaked, and decided not to hide it anymore, and simply took the initiative to publish a paper on room temperature superconductors, as well as several test videos.
The names of the two inventors, Wan Zhiyu and Chang Minjuan, became famous all over the world.
Many expert teams immediately tried to reproduce room-temperature superconductors based on relevant information.
The country of eagle sauce, the country of beer, the country of romance...
Countless people stayed up all night because of this news. On the one hand, they were waiting for the recurrence results, and on the other hand, they were urgently discussing response plans.
Even if some people don't understand the significance of room-temperature superconductors, they are completely crazy when they learn from top experts about the impact this invention can have on the world.
This is equivalent to the fourth industrial revolution.
Many industries will be subverted, many companies will fall in this industrial revolution, and many companies will take advantage of the trend and skyrocket!
This is their chance to rise again!
Although they no longer expect to surpass the Dragon Kingdom or defeat the Tianqi Group, if they can seize the opportunity of this industrial revolution, they can gain more benefits for their country.
Even during the unprecedented honeymoon period in the world, competition among countries is inevitable.
No one wants to fall behind.
"We rose in the second industrial revolution and dominated the world in the third industrial revolution. Although we are now facing decline due to various reasons, fate is favoring us after all!"
"The fourth industrial revolution is coming!"
"Our Yingjiang Country will definitely be able to reverse the decline, rise again, and stand on top of the world!"
In the conference room, the white-haired old man spoke impassionedly, completely unaware that his saliva had sprayed on the participants nearby.
The latter carefully covered his face with his hands and leaned back slightly to avoid the smelly 'rain'.
at this time.
A rapid knock on the door interrupted the white-haired old man's words, making him dissatisfied.
"Come in!"
A figure hurried in, regardless of etiquette, and said loudly:
"No! Long Kingdom announced on the news that their controllable nuclear fusion was successful!"
"What?!"
Not only the white-haired old man, but also several people stood up in shock at the same time.
Compared with room-temperature superconductors, the value and significance of controllable nuclear fusion are better known to the world.
If room-temperature superconductors are the prelude to the fourth industrial revolution, then controllable nuclear fusion is the real starting point for the fourth industrial revolution.
What is the Industrial Revolution?
Being able to completely subvert the industrial production method is a major change in the production field and a subversion of social lifestyle.
The first industrial revolution ushered in the steam age, and productivity exploded.
The second industrial revolution brought mankind into the electrical age, further promoting the rapid development of productivity. The advent of various electrical equipment also made people's lives more and more convenient.
The third industrial revolution has brought mankind into the information age. Human beings have created space technology, atomic energy technology, computer technology, bioengineering technology, information technology, new material technology and other advanced technologies, which have changed people's daily necessities, food, housing and transportation. Major changes.
Why do many people say that room-temperature superconductors will usher in the fourth industrial revolution?
Is it the material itself that will bring about much change in the world?
no!
But because it can promote major breakthroughs in top technologies in all aspects.
It is a very important introduction.
It was like the fire that ignited dynamite.
What will really bring about major changes in all aspects of people's lives is controllable nuclear fusion!
Controllable nuclear fusion can provide humans with nearly unlimited clean energy.
Energy is the most important material basis for human survival and development, and it is also one of the core pillars of modern human civilization.
Since modern times, changes in the world structure have almost always revolved around energy.
Politics, economy, military, and even a country's national destiny are all greatly affected by energy.
This shows the importance of energy!
Controllable nuclear fusion technology is the most important ultimate strategic technology in the world today.
none of them!
After barely recovering from the shock, the white-haired old man said angrily:
"Damn it! Why did the Dragon Kingdom develop controllable nuclear fusion so quickly? Yesterday..."
Halfway through, he reacted:
"No, they must have invented the normal-temperature superconductor a long time ago, but they just kept it secret. They will wait until the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion is almost complete before applying for a patent for the normal-temperature superconductor."
"Because they know that there are countless people watching the activities of Tianqi Group at any time, and as soon as a patent application is filed, the news will be leaked."
"Damn it! People from the Dragon Kingdom are so shameless!"
"Such important news is hidden from the whole world, and I can only enjoy the results!"
Thinking that the Dragon Kingdom, which was already leading the world, had invented room-temperature superconductors and developed controllable nuclear fusion, the future was even brighter, while the future prospects of the Eagle Sauce Country were dark, and the white-haired old man felt both desperate and angry.
There are also senior officials from other countries who share the same sentiments as them.
At this time, the entire Dragon Kingdom was filled with joy.
Even if many people do not understand the profound significance of controllable nuclear fusion, they still know the most direct benefit——
Electricity bills will definitely drop significantly in the future.
The cost of using various electrical appliances has been greatly reduced.
Nowadays, the vast majority of cars are pure electric models equipped with Thor II batteries. The cost of use is already very low, averaging less than a dime per kilometer. In the future, with the popularization of nuclear fusion power generation, the cost of using cars will definitely be further reduced.
This is extremely good news for both businesses and individuals.
…
June 24th.
It was the day after news of room-temperature superconductors and controllable nuclear fusion bombarded the world.
Tianqi Group issued an announcement.
It announced that it would formally recruit external partners, license room-temperature superconducting patents to partners at low prices, encourage full-scale production of room-temperature superconductors, and promote the world to enter the superconducting era as soon as possible.
Countless factories around the world are excited.
Anyone can see that once the production authorization for room-temperature superconductors is obtained, there will definitely be too many orders to count.
This involves the material needs for the upgrading of countless electronic and electrical products around the world.
Not to mention anything else, just the replacement of transmission lines by power companies and business orders are enough to make cable manufacturers around the world full of money.
However, everyone also knows that Tianqi Group has welfare level requirements for its partners. Given the current economic conditions of various countries, there are very few companies that can maintain high welfare. Only Longguo companies have better living conditions and generally have higher welfare levels. .
Even if Tianqi Group recruits partners fairly from all over the world, Longguo companies will definitely win more bids in the end.
But no matter what, this cooperation bidding meeting is a sensational event around the world.
Many companies responded enthusiastically to the call.
More companies began discussions overnight to redesign products using room-temperature superconductors.
For example, mobile phones, computers, and even all electrical equipment no longer need to consider heat dissipation issues, and the volume will be further compressed.
At the same time, without the limitation of heat generation, the performance of electrical appliances will be greatly improved.
Although room-temperature superconductors have not yet become truly popular, major companies must be the first to lay out their plans to avoid falling behind others.
There are also power grid companies in various countries that have urgently stopped the power transmission networks being laid and are preparing to wait and see the news about the production of normal temperature superconductors.
All companies involved in engines also began to discuss overnight whether to replace the engine with a generator as soon as possible and redesign a new generator based on normal temperature superconductors.
Various types of cars, ships, planes, and even two-wheeled electric vehicle companies were all shaken by the news.
Not to mention major energy companies.
The controllable nuclear fusion project jointly developed by Longguo Official and Tianqi Group has been officially declared successful. Humanity will soon enter a new era of unlimited clean energy, and other types of energy will slowly lose value.
Just two days.
Many industries have seen their stock prices fluctuate violently under the impact of these news.
Energy prices such as oil and coal plummeted.
