Chapter 57 Technology Makes Life Better

  ... At present, the reactor built in your hometown is running stably, and the output power of the first-phase generator set has successfully reached the expected 3000MW.

  According to the original plan, the reactor will be connected to the grid gradually next year. It is expected that the installed capacity will gradually increase to 70,000 MW within the year. At that time, the controllable fusion demonstration reactor that has completed the grid connection work will meet the power supply needs of most parts of the entire province...

  Blue Star's signal was transmitted to the living area through cross-space communication, and Lu Yu was watching various changes in his hometown in virtual reality.

  Easier said than done.

  Although Lu Yu had an idea, he hesitated when he really wanted to do it.

  So the Silver Star has been staying next to the gas giant planet for almost three days, and has not yet given an answer.

  The biggest gamble in his life has already been carried out in Jiaozu, so Lu Yu, who has made a lot of money, is more like a winner who is eager to leave the gambling table.

  Even without getting involved in this kind of entanglement with other civilizations, Lu Yu can still find the location of Blue Star by the time-consuming method of elimination.

   Such a mentality is very wrong, but Lu Yu, who has won a big wave, no longer has the fighting mentality he had in the small cockpit.

  As if aware of his inner thoughts, Lu Yu made a request to the base to see the changes in his hometown.

  Lu Yu's proposal was of course satisfied immediately. By converting the real-time images into signals and then transcribing them into neural signals with virtual reality equipment, he could appear on the streets of his hometown like a real body.

  The first stop was to see the nuclear fusion reactor that was completed in the first phase of the project. This project should have been built in major urban areas. Because this is Lu Yu's hometown, a reactor that can supply a whole province has been arranged!

   Before long, the streets will be filled with electric vehicles.

   Before long, the desalinated seawater will solve the plight of the vast water-scarce areas of Huaguo, and irrigate the Gobi into oases and fertile fields.

   It won’t be long before wireless charging, drone logistics and various technologies that had to be temporarily promoted due to high energy consumption will enter people’s lives.

  Petroleum will no longer be used as a fuel, but only as a raw material for industrial production.

   Pollution will gradually decrease, and the environment will soon improve. The word environmental protection will no longer be a popular word.

  Looking at the nuclear fusion reactor in front of him, Lu Yu mustered up the courage to step out of the cockpit, wasn't it just to see the future at this moment?

  The next second stop is the newly built general hospital in my hometown.

   "According to the information left by the leaders of the Horn tribe, we have created the first generation of human gene resonance devices. Although the materials and technology are limited, the effect has not yet reached the limit of extending the lifespan to 300 years."

   "There is also nano-robot technology, which can effectively clean up harmful substances in cells...especially the toxic proteins of neurons."

   “We expect to add 30 to 50 years to the lives of citizens.”

  The aging of neurons has always been a difficult problem for life extension technology, and nano-robots regularly clean up some metabolic waste, which will greatly delay the aging of the nervous system. At the same time, the precise treatment of diseased cells by nano-robots and the accumulation of harmful substances in cells are the reasons why gene resonance rings are used together with nano-robots.

   "Your parents will be among the first batch of people to receive gene resonance to increase life expectancy. If you have any relatives and friends who also need it, you can tell us and be included in the list by the way."

  Professor Mao's virtual image has been accompanying Lu Yu through places, explaining the changes in his hometown for him.

  Professor Mao himself looks much younger, with fewer wrinkles, less age spots, and even his hair started to turn black again from the roots, as if he had turned back to his fifty-year-old appearance.

   “Above all, nanotechnology has made many of our most dreaded incurable diseases a paper tiger.”

   "Quantum computers combined with nanorobots can precisely target and destroy diseased cells, and cancer and viral diseases will no longer threaten our health."

   "Now this thing is called panacea on the Internet."

  Slowly they came to a place full of cyberpunk-style prosthetics. A seven or eight-year-old girl's feet were covered with silver-white prosthetics, but she had a smile on her face

"Mommy mommy!"

   "I can stand again! I can run again!"

   "Will I be able to learn to dance again in the future?"

  She ran and jumped happily on the ground, just like a normal person, while her parents were already in tears.

  “Virtual reality technology is very controversial within us, but its extension technology has begun to become popular.”

   "This little girl had her feet amputated due to an unfortunate car accident, but our latest generation of prosthetics is equipped with quantum chips, coupled with the maturity of neural signal conversion technology, her prosthetics will be no different from normal feet."

  Professor Mao paused subtly when he said this: "Well...maybe stronger than normal legs. In the future, the track and field record in the Paralympic Games may be faster than the Olympic record..."

  Technology is eliminating pain, and perhaps in the near future, all kinds of sufferings that plague mankind will also disappear one by one.

  Lu Yu has witnessed everything happening. Technology is making life better, and he seems to be able to make the beauty come faster.

  In this way, to build a fourth-level civilization of the Dyson sphere is not necessarily to destroy the development of a civilization.

   Maybe I rely on the Silver Star to counterpress the two fifth-level civilizations, and rely on solving the external crisis as a condition to make the fourth-level civilization hand over artificial intelligence and the technology tree of the fourth-level civilization?

  The horn tribe of the second-level civilization has made Huaguo and the hometown have undergone such a big change, so the technology of the fourth-level civilization can allow human beings to reach the sky in one step, and directly open the interstellar era, right?

If it is really because of the Silver Star and the intelligent life forms that I brought back, Blue Star is coveted by other civilizations, and human beings can first grasp the power to resist and flee. At that time, there is a choice between fighting or running. option.

  The horn race was once rated as a potential civilization in the system. They even obtained the creation of a super civilization on their own satellites, and finally the entire race was wiped out in the star system.

  Taking the history of other civilizations as a lesson, it can be seen that it is not easy for ordinary civilizations to take every step in the universe, and you can become a cheat for the entire civilization.

   "It seems that it's not time to be lazy."

   "Isn't this also related to the possibility of returning to Blue Star?"

   "It's not the time when I can leave the table with peace of mind!"

   After Lu Yu sent out such emotions, it seemed that he had regained the courage to leave for the nuclear fusion device.

   Lu Yu, who hadn't left the living area for a long, long time, returned to the small cockpit after exiting the virtual reality.

   "We have accepted the task of the Dyson ball."

   Seeing that many people have mentioned it, let me give you a little spoiler. It is not so easy to return to Blue Star. If you want to return 80,000 points, you will be sent back directly. And going back...wouldn’t it be a cliché.
