“Teacher Wei.”

Lin Xian was full of anticipation,

“What subject did you teach at university?”

“[Miniature Nuclear Battery Principles and Applications].”

???

Lin Xian’s eyes widened.

You can’t judge a book by its cover!

“You are amazing, Teacher Wei, to teach such advanced knowledge.”

“Hey, what’s so advanced about it…”

Wei Shengjin dismissed it with a wave of his hand,

“This is all the most basic stuff; humanity had already mastered this technology 200 years ago.

Although the energy conversion of these batteries is vastly different compared to controllable nuclear fusion, their advantage lies in miniaturization!”

“On Mars, mobile phones, cars, small household appliances, electric vehicles, flying vehicles, robots…

and so on, [Miniature Nuclear Batteries] are widely used in all these areas.

The victory of these batteries lies in safety, durability, with energy storage lasting hundreds of years without damage, and an energy density far surpassing conventional batteries.

Basically, a mobile phone could be used until it’s scrapped and still not use up 10% of the energy.”

“And the miniature nuclear battery inside the phone is no bigger than a fingernail.”

Lin Xian listened to this black technology.

He was very interested.

The first time he entered The Fifth Dreamland, he also chatted with Uncle Wei Shengjin about the level of technological development on Mars.

The conclusion was that it wasn’t much different from New Donghai City in The Second Dreamland.

Lin Xian was very clear.

New Donghai City in The Second Dreamland widely used these miniature nuclear batteries; it’s said to be just A Step Away from controllable nuclear fusion.

But often this one step…

might take hundreds of years to reach.

He had indeed copied the Cold Fusion Technology back to reality and handed it to Dragon Science Academy.

But in The Fifth Dreamland, neither Earth 2400 years ago nor Mars in the year 2624 had conquered this technology.

Lin Xian was unclear about the reason; perhaps, there were some factors of human intervention.

“Is it difficult?”

Lin Xian asked curiously,

“Is it easy to learn?

Is it easy to manufacture?”

“There’s nothing difficult about it!”

Uncle Wei Shengjin said it casually,

“Humans detonated the Atomic Bomb in 1945, mastering nuclear energy; in the following decades, they created nuclear power plants, reactors, and other such devices.”

“In theory, it shouldn’t take too long to produce miniature nuclear batteries, at least in terms of raw materials and technology, there’s no difficulty.

It’s just that…

[the theoretical development path veered off course, leading humanity on a detour in their research into nuclear energy.]”

“Do you understand what I’m saying?

The choice of direction in scientific development is often like this, choosing the right direction can save decades or even hundreds of years of detours, but if you choose the wrong direction, you might never find your way back.”

“Personally, I estimate that if humanity’s research path into nuclear energy had not been disturbed or gone astray, then a technology like miniature nuclear batteries should have been conquered around 2030 and then put into practical use.”

“But in reality, it was delayed until after humans had survived on Mars before we achieved this belated breakthrough.

As to whether it’s difficult or not…

what’s so difficult about it?

I, a mere teacher in an ordinary university, have taught this class for decades.

As long as students want to learn, they can master it!”

Snap.

Lin Xian stepped forward and grasped Uncle Wei Shengjin’s hands,

“Teacher Wei, you truly are a treasure!”

“You’re Ultraman Tiga!

You’re a beam of light!

The light that illuminates the Earth!”

“Oh, where, where.”

Uncle Wei Shengjin blushed a little from being praised,

“That’s too much.”

“This is really just a very ordinary, mature theory that has been applied stably for many years…

It might sound advanced on Earth, but on Mars, this technology doesn’t count for much; you can buy a miniature nuclear battery at any street-side shop.”

“Do you want to learn?

If you want, I’ll teach you!”

That was the line he was waiting for!

This truly was an unexpected gain from The Fifth Dreamland…

Though it hadn’t been long since he ventured into The Fifth Dreamland, and the progress was fast, the harvest was substantial.

Not only had he copied back the principles of the Time Shuttle Machine;

Now, the theory of the miniature nuclear battery was also queued up, waiting to be transported.

Lin Xian had previously been at a loss, not knowing how to make big money for Rhein Company, to provide himself with enough financial reserves.

Now didn’t he have an idea?

According to Uncle Wei Shengjin, by 2024, it was entirely possible to manufacture miniature nuclear batteries, it was just that humanity’s application of nuclear physics research had veered off course.

Well then, no apologies.

𝑛𝗈𝘃𝕘𝘰.co

He.

Planned to do something good.

To have Rhein Company pull this veered-off path back on track, and by the way, apply for a patent.

Two birds with one stone!

Lin Xian couldn’t help but exclaim,

“If the year really were 2023, and miniature nuclear batteries could appear on Earth, then The Future World would definitely change drastically, would humanity still develop on Mars?”

“Mars is definitely a place to go.”

Uncle Wei Shengjin explained,

“After all, the super disaster of 2400 is an unavoidable natural phenomenon, even if there were many more nuclear batteries, it would be of no use; Earth’s ecological environment would no longer be suitable for living, and humanity could only migrate to Mars.”

“But to be fair, if humanity really could master miniature nuclear battery technology by 2030, then Earth as it is now would definitely not be the same.”

He scuffed the dirt with his foot, kicked out a hole, and explained, pointing at the hole,

“If humanity began manufacturing miniature nuclear batteries in 2023, then after hundreds of years of accumulation, there would already be a very large number of miniature nuclear batteries in the world.

After the super disaster of 2400, the vast majority of the miniature nuclear batteries, which had not yet exhausted their energy, would be buried beneath the ground.”

“And then…

can you imagine what would happen, Lin Xian?

Post-disaster Earth’s humanity would dig out a large amount of usable miniature nuclear batteries from beneath the land, because their shells are made of Hafnium Alloy, truly durable, sturdy, safe, conserving energy for hundreds of years without loss, ready to use as soon as they were dug out.”

“Thus, why would Earth’s humanity need to evolve from the Primitive Era?

Just by utilizing the massive resources of miniature nuclear batteries underground, they could directly step into an era of endless electric power; going on this assumption…

it’s really hard to say what Earth would now be like.”

Uncle Wei Shengjin fantasized about the assumption, rubbing his hands together and smiling,

“It’s really exciting to think about…

Given Earth humanity’s intelligence and indomitable spirit, directly giving them an inexhaustible supply of miniature nuclear batteries as starting resources, rebuilding civilization in 200 years, just how far could they develop?”

“Indeed.”

Lin Xian also looked around at Queenstown, where each household had turned off the lights to sleep, fantasizing about a post-disaster Earth that began with miniature nuclear batteries,

“I’m equally excited.”
