Chapter 291 Similar Reincarnation

After the last failed experiment...

All the researchers collapsed and cried. The deep depression formed an abyss-like substance, crushing their mental will.

The great sage Baxter wrote in his diary with trembling hands: "We have spent countless funds, countless efforts, and more than 30 years, but we have only proved that... magnetic confinement is not feasible! At least it is completely unfeasible for our technology!"

"Our technology is far from enough!"

"But... many technologies have been stagnant for a long time, and it is difficult to achieve another leap... We need a greater breakthrough in theory and more geniuses to join!"

"Nuclear fusion is not just a simple project, but a comprehensive collection of many disciplines. As long as there is a shortcoming, it will be difficult to achieve. Maybe... our thinking is completely wrong!"

"... We wanted to make an airplane, but ended up making a racing car. No matter how fast the racing car runs, it can't fly!"

"What's more terrifying is that the problem of nuclear fusion subconsciously makes you make a racing car, inducing you to make a racing car..."

"Magnetic confinement must be the first method that every civilization thinks of... It's a fart!"

Baxter became more and more excited as he wrote. This 120-year-old great sage was trembling with anger and tears in the face of the scam of nature.

Tears rolled down like soybeans, dripping on the paper drop by drop, and it felt that it had lost all hope.

In 30 years, they spent all their money, but fell into this huge natural trap and could never climb out.

Every time they were interviewed by a TV station, they had to say that there was progress, but... where was the progress?

Year after year, no one believed them anymore. The title of "Great Sage" had long become infamous, and even the government had some doubts.

Some inspectors from the Integrity Department were waiting outside. Many people actually believed that the Great Sage had embezzled such a huge amount of money, and it must accept this investigation!

Baxter simply didn't know how to answer, embezzlement? Just like if it wanted to make money, it would not have sold the shares of the biological company in the first place...

However, they did not really have any results. They only spent a lot of effort to prove that the idea of ​​"magnetic confinement" was too difficult and almost impossible!

It only proved that one plan was not feasible!

How to explain this to the public?

If you want to truly achieve fusion, there are still two plans now.

First, we need to spend a lot of effort to study basic science again. We must make greater breakthroughs in other places, and then come back to study nuclear fusion again.

But... how much money does this cost!

The Large Hadron Collider did not make any more discoveries and was dismantled hundreds of years ago. Even if we build another one, we must build a bigger and stronger one to make new discoveries, and Congress is no longer able to approve it.

Other various disciplines have also encountered a lot of bottlenecks, and progress is extremely slow, requiring a lot of financial support!

Every step requires money... it is impossible to approve it!

And every step requires a lot of time, and geniuses need to appear!

There are only seventy years left before the energy crisis of life and death! Thinking of this, Baxter closed his eyes painfully.

Second, find a better way than "magnetic confinement" to bypass this huge technical threshold!

So... what is this method?

Does it really exist?

At this moment, an idea appeared in Baxter's mind... A group of researchers whispered to each other and discussed loudly, and everyone seemed to forget the prosecutors outside.

"Dong Dong Dong", several prosecutors pushed the door and walked in impatiently.

Baxter was still calculating. Facing the astronomical figures, he saw hope and despair. He collapsed on the ground in pain.

Impossible, this project... The current Nix civilization will never be able to complete such a vast and great project!

The energy and resources required for this project are too much, too much... The entire planet can't bear it!

It is hundreds and thousands of times the GDP of the entire civilization!

Impossible to complete!

Nix civilization has been filtered out by the big filter... ah!

Long-term overwork, coupled with extreme sadness, finally made this great sage fall completely...

It just left like this.

It left with regrets like this.

Coincidence appeared again. Another star died on the same day as the great sage.

It was a female star who cheated, was caught cheating, and then had a car accident in a hurry...

All Nix people focused their attention on this female star who died strangely, and the search index exploded directly. Everyone was reveling for an entertainment star, scolding it for being deserving, morally corrupt, etc.

Under the news of "Baxter's death", there were also a group of trolls, calling him a fame-seeking person who spent so much money but did nothing.

The last great sage just left silently, carrying the stigma.

No one noticed that the last light had slowly gone out, and there was no hero to save the world...

Everything collapsed...

The ending was doomed.

Silence, silence... Yu Yifeng felt a blockage in his heart after listening to the whole story.

The big filter killed the Nix civilization alive... The Nix civilization was once stronger than humans.

There were heroes who tried, but they failed.

Yu Yifeng felt like a mountain, or even a planet, was pressing in his heart, and he couldn't breathe all over his body.

What happens next can be predicted. As time goes by, energy becomes more and more scarce. Just like boiling a frog in warm water, the frog feels something is wrong.

It started to struggle, trying to jump out of the hot pot.

The exploitation of seabed resources does have certain feasibility and can significantly extend the time before the energy crisis arrives. But... the ice cap of Nix is ​​too thick, and the cost of extracting seabed resources is greatly increased, not as cheap as on the surface.

The liberalized market responded quickly, and the price of uranium ore gradually increased. Many countries with the foresight began to reserve uranium resources and stopped exporting them.

As a result, electricity became no longer cheap, and many cities that relied on nuclear power were gradually abandoned. A large number of Knicks heard certain rumors and flocked to the volcanic city, and the housing prices in the volcanic city increased significantly.

Many countries that lack uranium mines have become difficult to survive. The increase in electric energy will cause the cost of industrial production to be too high. The cost of products will naturally increase, and the selling price will also increase relatively, and prices will rise rapidly.

Soon, the currency depreciated sharply, hyperinflation began, and the fragile global economic system collapsed rapidly, and there was no solution.

"At this time, the uranium resources on the earth's surface have not been exhausted, and there are still about 20 to 30 years to go. But because many countries have begun to reserve energy and no longer trade externally, the Nix civilization has been in chaos."

Due to inflation and economic collapse, workers in some countries began to go on strike in large numbers, and order was lost, exacerbating the collapse of the industrial system.

Many people suddenly realized that the remaining energy cannot feed a large population, and the vast majority of people will starve to death. What should they do?

What else can be done?

They want to go abroad, they want to crowd into cities in volcanic belts, they want... It's really a desperate eve of doomsday.

"After a few years of this, the war suddenly broke out... of course it was a nuclear war..." Professor Heigl said in a low tone, and she also deliberately omitted this part of the heavy war content.

"The nuclear war brought a large number of deformities, mutations, and deaths. Most of the cities were destroyed, and only a small population survived around the volcanic belt. They seemed to have returned to the miserable days before nuclear power..."

This is inevitable. Besides war, what better way is there?

"If that's the case, they can still survive. Geothermal energy is sustainable after all."

"The war reduced a large number of people and lost a large number of industries. At least these Nyx people can live and rely on the volcano to survive."

"But what they didn't expect was that... a large number of microorganisms also mutated in the radiation. A type of organism called blue-green bacteria was born in this world. They began to reproduce rapidly and changed the history of the entire planet."

"That's right... they can use heat and substances in the atmosphere to synthesize organic matter and produce oxygen in batches. The oxygen in the atmosphere today is produced by them on a large scale!"

Speaking of this, Professor Heigl lamented: "It's like God's joke, specifically to destroy the Nix civilization, and then...wait for the arrival of the new human civilization!"

"The birth of blue-green bacteria brought oxygen and changed the entire ecosystem. However, it killed most of the anaerobic species at that time and caused environmental damage worse than nuclear bombs! From the bottom of the ocean to the deep land, as long as there is In places with geothermal heat, this kind of blue-green bacteria exists on a large scale.”

"The remaining Knicks have lost a lot of industry and do not have enough ability to eliminate such widely distributed microorganisms... They can only watch the oxygen content in the atmosphere getting higher and higher day by day, and sink deeper day by day. In levels of despair..."

"They are anaerobic organisms and cannot adapt to an atmosphere with high oxygen content."

"This originally glorious civilization survived for thousands of years and then slowly perished."

"Most of the species at that time also perished in the birth of oxygen. The planet Nix ushered in a new batch of reincarnations, and aerobic organisms began to be born in large numbers."

"Nix civilization rises from wisdom and sorrow, and perishes from enjoyment and comfort. Perhaps there are deeper reasons waiting for us to explore..."

Professor Heigl finally said hoarsely.

"And now, the new human civilization has arrived on the planet Nix. And there is a lot of oxygen on the planet, and there is... enough fossil energy for us to use for hundreds of thousands of years!"

"This is so similar to the original Knicks civilization. Is this how a new reincarnation begins?"
