I Have A Martial Dao World

The commotion clearly didn't escape the notice of the family. Li Peifeng smiled with a twinkle in her eye:

"It seems that my husband is a big shot around here, too. Thousands of people have been secretly protecting us just to make sure we have a good time on our trip."

Liao Qe, with her almond-shaped eyes sparkling, said as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "Lu Yao is the most awesome no matter where he is~"

The family chatted and laughed for a few moments, and then Lu Yao took out his phone to check the time—it was almost midnight.

A whole day had passed, and there had still been no reply from Wang Guowei. It seemed that his requests indeed posed some difficulties.

Just as Lu Yao was contemplating this, his phone suddenly rang. After answering, it was indeed Wang Guowei:

[Mr. Lu, sorry to keep you waiting. The controlled fusion matter has been coordinated, and the Material Research Institute in Luzhou welcomes you to come and provide guidance]

[For the other matters, there will be experts in the institute ready to discuss them with you]

Lu Yao replied, "Thank you, I will arrive in Luzhou tomorrow morning."

[You're welcome, sir. It's part of my responsibilities]

...

After hanging up, Lu Yao said, "Let's go, it's time to see the 'Artificial Sun'."

Li Pei asked in amazement, "Can the sun really be created by people?"

"As long as one's understanding of the universe is deep enough, nothing is impossible."

Lu Yao led the several women to the very top of the Pearl Tower, but he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Next, he used the power of Mind Force to operate his phone, taking a picture of the family against the brilliant backdrop of the nighttime cityscape.

Afterward, Lu Yao also took individual photos with each of his wives, and the women too took turns pairing up for photos, leaving behind countless images.

Not until the lights of thousands of houses in the city had gradually gone out did the family leap into the air at the same time. The Golden Dragon appeared just in time to catch them and flew towards Luzhou.

~~~~~~~~~

The Material Research Institute in Luzhou is a comprehensive research institution affiliated with the Science Academy of Xia Country.

Located by the shores of Shushan Lake and surrounded by water on three sides, this research organization is also known as "Science Island."

Starting from yesterday, the entire institute had been mobilized, first by cleaning the place thoroughly until it was spotless, and then by arranging various honors and trophies in the most conspicuous part of the corridor.

The staff began to speculate, "Is a senior official coming to inspect?"

They weren't too surprised by this, as since the major breakthrough in the "Eastern Superring" project, the institute had welcomed countless dignitaries, and they were accustomed to such visits.

However, this time was somewhat different—a group of fully armed soldiers had taken over the place and ordered the regular staff to leave.

As the employees were about to leave obediently, a few researchers with good hearing faintly overheard someone mentioning "that person doesn't like publicity" and then the military quickly withdrew.

The staff grew even more curious—who was this visitor?

What followed made it clear that this visitor was no ordinary person. The institute's director and deputy director, two academicians, and all researchers involved in the "Eastern Superring" project had actually stayed inside the research institute all night waiting!

And before daybreak the next day, they met with a dignified and capable-looking middle-aged man, and awaited at the entrance of the institute.

They waited for over two hours before the person they were waiting for finally arrived.

Since they were paying a visit, Lu Yao and his family landed a few miles away in advance and strolled leisurely to the entrance.

Wang Guowei immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Mr. Lu, long time no see. This is Academician Liu Yong, the person in charge of the controlled fusion project."

An elderly man greeted him, "Mr. Lu, I am Liu Yong. Welcome to the Material Research Institute. We've prepared the experimental setup overnight upon hearing you would be visiting."

Lu Yao shook hands with him briefly, nodding in acknowledgement, "Thank you for all your trouble. Let's get started right away so as not to disrupt your scientific work."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yong's face stiffened.

They had prepared for a tour and an invitation for Lu Yao to give a lecture, through which the Material Research Institute would have surely gained global renown. But it seemed that these plans were unnecessary now.

After the previous incident with the fear of the Primordial Ancestor's invasion, Lu Yao held an unquestionable status on the Blue Star.

Everyone headed straight to the theme, proceeding to the laboratory containing the "all superconducting nuclear fusion experimental device".

On the way, Liu Yong still took the opportunity to praise his institute, striving to make a deep impression on Lu Yao.

The staff members never expected the visitor to be Lu Yao! Despite their strict discipline, they were nearly stirred into excitement!

But smartphones and various other smart devices had already been handed in, so at this moment, they could only feast their eyes.

~~~~~~~~~

The group soon arrived at their destination, and Wang Guowei inquired, "Mr. Lu probably doesn't need one, but do any of the ladies need protective gear?"

Lu Yao shook his head slightly, "None of us are ordinary people, no need."

Wang Guowei's complexion remained unchanged, but inside he was feeling a storm of surprise, as was his entire think tank behind him.

[Indeed! These women must be the legendary Taoist companions, right?]

[Just by looking at their appearances, one can tell they are vastly different from ordinary people, they must have a systematic cultivation method!]

[This is a rare opportunity, and since this person is not of a violent nature, shall we be more direct?]

...

At this moment, Lu Yao was listening to Academician Liu Yong explain:

"The project known as the 'Artificial Sun' in common terms, is a device that uses magnetic confinement to achieve nuclear fusion."

"Not long ago, our research achieved a significant breakthrough, extending the lifespan of the Artificial Sun to 1000 seconds! The maximum temperature reached a staggering 160 million degrees Celsius!"

Speaking of this achievement, Academician Liu Yong's face flushed with excitement, "I believe that in the near future, controlled nuclear fusion will truly be realized! Humanity will obtain an inexhaustible source of energy!"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Oh? The news a few years back mentioned only about a hundred seconds, that's indeed a huge progress; I'm looking forward to witnessing it now."

Subsequently, the group split into two.

The ordinary people proceeded to the control room, while Lu Yao and his family went directly to the underground experimental arena where the device was located.

In the experiment arena constructed of thick concrete, a more than 5-meter-high, bright silver device resembling a giant "pressure cooker" appeared before them, with countless dense, tangled pipes attached.

The voice of Academician Liu Yong also came through the broadcast: [Mr. Lu, please pay attention, the device has finished energy storage and is about to start operating]

Lu Yao gave an OK gesture towards the camera.

The preparations had been completed the day before, and the parameters had also been calibrated; now the experiment commenced immediately!

The gigantic device in front of them emitted a terrifying dull roar, spilling dazzling blue light and containing a horrific high temperature capable of vaporizing steel.

This was ultra-high temperature plasma, using high temperatures and pressure to create conditions for nuclear fusion.

Lu Yao's Divine Soul performed Soul Travel directly into it to carefully sense and observe.

Yu Yanmei and Liao Ya could project their Mind Force outside, also reflecting everything inside the device.

Li Pei and Liao Qe held tightly to their Magical Treasures, perceiving through the Mind Force connection of Lu Yao.

At that moment, feeling the terrifying energy in the equipment, the women were amazed: this really was an Artificial Sun!

~~~~~~~~

The principle of controlled nuclear fusion is very simple, but its actual implementation is extremely difficult.

Firstly, the reason the Sun can continuously undergo nuclear fusion reactions is due to the immense pressure at the Sun's core, as high as 200 billion atmospheric pressures. Even under such conditions, nuclear fusion still requires temperatures of around 15 million degrees Celsius to proceed.

However, on Earth, it is impossible to achieve such high pressure. Therefore, nuclear fusion requires temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius to proceed normally!

There are no materials on Earth that can contain such high temperatures, so "magnetic confinement" has to be used, employing extremely strong magnetic fields to suspend the ultra-high temperature plasma in midair, preventing contact with the container.

At this point, Lu Yao had understood the principle of the device and successfully took the first step.

"Magnetic confinement, precisely what the Thunder Tribulation Realm excels at."

His Divine Soul returned to his body, and electric arcs flashed across his fingertips; Divine Thought, like electricity, instantly created a powerful electromagnetic field!
