556 The Start of Controlled Nuclear Fusion
After some analysis, they determined that the remaining metal boxes were exactly the same as those previously discovered. This meant that they could withstand the impact of a nuclear fusion reactor.

These metal boxes would be transported to the western desert to build a reactor.

Wu Mo did some mental calculations. The first controllable nuclear fusion reactor only consumed twenty or so metal boxes. However, the second reactor could make use of thirty-one boxes, so it would be even larger.

In just a few days, these metal boxes were melted down and gradually formed into a huge metal cake.

Everyone nodded in relief at the results.

It was, no doubt, a symbol of China’s determination in the field of controllable nuclear fusion.

The second reactor’s birth allowed China to completely get rid of the past energy crisis. The old power generation equipment for thermal power and hydraulic power were soon abandoned.

Controllable nuclear fusion brought about a structural change in China. Although there was no lack of complaints, nuclear fusion energy had greater transmission capacity, and it cost less. One could even say that it was priceless!

In this new era, people no longer had to worry about electricity and water bills. They could use electricity as they pleased.

As long as there were enough carriers, controllable nuclear fusion could even support China’s entire industrial sector.

The two nuclear reactors in the Western Desert were gradually changing China’s fate. As a result, other countries looked at them with envy.

They were all speculating when China would introduce controllable nuclear fusion into the aerospace field.

The old chief had already discussed this matter with Wu Mo.

However, Wu Mo made it clear that although controllable nuclear fusion could help their aerospace industry take off, China did not have solid materials for outer space navigation at the moment.

Otherwise, they would have built a spaceship long ago and powered it with controllable nuclear fusion to explore the mysterious galaxy.

“If only I could get that spaceship from Carlot!” Wu Mo could not help but sigh.

Right then, he received news of another salvage operation at the bottom of the sea. This time, there were more than a hundred metal boxes!

Some of the boxes were extremely huge, so big that it was shocking.

“There are so many?” Wu Mo was surprised.

He already considered thirty to forty metal boxes a good harvest.

The results far exceeded his expectations.

These hundred metal boxes had to be sent to the research center first.

As usual, they underwent in-depth analysis to confirm whether they could be used in the reactor.

Unexpectedly, these huge metal boxes contained more unknown elements. This implied that their composition was much more complicated than the previous metal boxes.

“Ahem, has anyone noticed? When these metal boxes are put together, they actually take the shape of a flying ship!”

That instant, a spatial image appeared in Wu Mo’s mind. When he combined this batch of metal boxes together with the previous ones, they indeed formed what looked like a flying ship.

However, everyone did not dwell on the idea too much because it was too absurd.

Did a spaceship disintegrate when it passed through the wormhole? And did its parts turn into metal boxes?

“Mr. Wu Mo, does this mean that the spaceships of those advanced civilizations are actually made of these metal boxes? Where’s the control system?” An expert expressed his doubts.

Wu Mo had no explanation for it, at least not in the meantime. He only felt that the combined boxes resembled a ship.

Besides, it did not matter even if the spaceship really disintegrated. The point was, could it be restored?

At this moment, Wu Mo was concerned about using these metal boxes to make controllable nuclear fusion reactors. He wanted to push their civilization to a new level.

After testing, they found that these metal boxes contained nine different elements. Despite that, the metal’s toughness was not affected.

More importantly, the boxes did not contain any volatile elements, so they would not cause a violent explosion.

Therefore, these metal boxes were used to make controllable nuclear fusion reactors.

This time, Wu Mo built two enormous reactors.

By the time the two reactors were completed, China’s controllable nuclear fusion industry had already been established.

Everyone knew that the entire world had its eyes on China, and people were speculating how far China could go.

Could controllable nuclear fusion be applied in real life?

It was extremely difficult to be the best in the world in terms of technology, especially when a country’s attempt involved changing the lives of the entire human race—this was common knowledge. Those involved often faced many practical problems, such as the inability of basic industries to keep up, the lagging quality of manpower, and so on.

Now, China’s controllable nuclear fusion appeared to be in the same boat. Some people were happy, some were worried, some supported it, while others even mocked it.

However, this did not affect Wu Mo’s team. They had successfully built two enormous controllable nuclear fusion reactors!

Currently, China had four reactors in the Western Desert, which consisted of the small initial reactor, a medium-sized reactor, and the two gigantic reactors.

At this moment, one of the enormous reactors was pumping out energy, and about forty percent of China’s cities were enjoying its power.

“Wow, it’s incredibly powerful. It feels like the lights in the entire room are much brighter!”

Many people felt the same way.

They noticed that ever since the city started using controllable nuclear fusion reactors, their electrical power had become stronger and more stable. There had been no tripping incidents at all.

Everyone found the reactor’s stability and power amazing!
There was almost zero energy loss during the energy transfer process, and once the reactor was activated, it would produce energy continuously. Unless someone interrupted it, the reaction would continue.

Seeing China integrate controllable nuclear fusion into the daily lives of its people, the other countries could not help but widen their eyes.

“Oh, my God, their controllable nuclear fusion reactor has started supplying power to the entire country.”

People finally realized that the rumors were true. China’s controllable nuclear fusion reactor had reached such a scale!

Other countries did not even have a decent prototype when it came to nuclear fusion. They did not know whether to laugh or cry.

They were falling behind. They were falling behind miserably!

China had succeeded in controllable nuclear fusion, but other countries could not even find a glimmer of hope.

“Controlled nuclear fusion is an achievement that concerns the entire civilization. No matter which country succeeds in its research, the results should be shared with other countries!” a spokesperson from a certain country said.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone ridiculed him.

“If you developed controllable nuclear fusion, would you really share it with us?”

The reporter’s sharp question left the country’s spokesperson at a loss for words.

Such top-notch technology would definitely be regarded as a priceless treasure. It was obvious that they would not share it.

However, if other countries wanted to share the energy produced by the controllable nuclear fusion reactor, there was a way: They just needed to pay.

One could predict that in the future, every country would pay China a certain amount of money to purchase this energy.

Despite their unwillingness, once one country took the lead, the others would follow suit.

Otherwise, they would quickly fall behind, and it would be difficult for them to keep up.

Meanwhile, there was something never seen before occurring in the big cities of China.
