Chapter 409: Chapter 409

After putting on this diving suit, the first thing you need to learn is to overcome the nausea caused by inhaling liquid. Only then can you inhale the oxidized liquid as freely as breathing air.

That’s right, what you inhale is not ordinary water, but liquid oxygen.

Only those who meet the requirements have undergone countless years of special training.

And even if you can inhale liquid oxygen and fully adapt to these, it doesn’t mean you can freely swim underwater.

Because there’s one thing you shouldn’t forget, this thing does not extract oxygen directly from the water.

Its oxygen needs to be refilled.

Compared to traditional oxygen tanks, its advantage is merely being more portable.

In fact, when Lin Yi heard about this, the image of that anti-pretentious meme featuring the black guy instantly popped into his mind.

With a face full of confusion.

Goodness, isn’t this just overcomplicating things?? Why not just develop a liquid converter instead??

Of course, Lin Yi also knows that this is similar to the virtual reality technology of the Beautiful Country previously.

The ultimate goal is just to secure investment from capital.

However, what Lin Yi aims to do is not just hype.

What he wants to do is create something truly usable.

Or to put it another way, he’s looking to develop a super diving suit.

Something that allows you to enter the sea directly and automatically extracts oxygen from seawater.

At that time, as long as you wear this diving suit, you can stay in the seawater for a prolonged period.

Of course, in order to stay underwater for a long time, besides being able to provide oxygen, you must also consider two other points: the pressure of the seawater and the human hunger issue.

Both of these are things Lin Yi needs to consider.

After hearing Lin Yi’s question, the system in his mind immediately responded:

[Responding to the master’s question: After system testing, the items provided by the master are not enough to meet the requirements for the special diving suit.

However, through system testing, the pre-stored molecules in System Space can be supplemented. Would the master like to deconstruct and reconstruct?]

This was something Lin Yi had thought of before. System Space had previously deconstructed things like aircraft carriers and submarines.

Many of the things on the submarine should be useful.

But now Lin Yi can’t do this, after all, that submarine was used to deconstruct and reconstruct a seventh-generation attack submarine and twelve matching torpedoes!

If he uses those molecules now, the submarine might be affected.

"Sigh, forget it, I’ll just keep looking."

Muttering to himself, Lin Yi didn’t idle. Instead, he reached out to take the mask composed of two stick-like objects again:

"System, first help me deconstruct and reconstruct this thing. Let me see if I can research something out of it. Oh right, you can use a little bit of Helium-3 to deconstruct and reconstruct it."

[Ding~ The system has detected an artificial gill provided by the master, Helium-3, 0.001 milligrams. The system is about to proceed with deconstruction and reconstruction.

System deconstruction in progress~ System deconstruction completed! System molecules supplementing~ System molecules supplement completed! System synthesis reconstruction in progress~ System synthesis reconstruction completed!

Congratulations to the master for obtaining a ’ZH0001’ type, Helium-3 powered super liquid diving headgear.

The deconstructed and reconstructed item has been placed in System Space, please collect it yourself.]

Halfway through the system’s message, the artificial gill in Lin Yi’s hand vanished instantly, only to reappear moments later.

Looking at the newly added device resembling an oxygen mask in his hand, under the mask was a small bottle about the size of a mineral water bottle.

"System, what’s the use of this thing??"

Examining the item in his hand, Lin Yi tried to fit it over his mouth.

However, once the mask was secured, Lin Yi immediately felt a sense of pressure.

This feeling was clearly a result of having difficulty breathing.

After testing it, he quickly removed it and asked the system.

[Detected master’s question: The ’ZH0001’ type, Helium-3 powered super liquid diving headgear is a self-developed synthesis by the master. This mask uses 0.001 milligrams of Helium-3 to power a small centrifugal converter, which can separate oxygen molecules in the liquid water...]

Halfway through the system’s lengthy explanation, Lin Yi finally understood that, in simple terms, it contains a highly sophisticated small, super-high-speed centrifuge.

It can quickly separate the oxygen from the water for the person in the mask to use.

And the most crucial point is that the super-high-speed centrifuge inside can only be driven quickly using Helium-3 as the super energy source.

According to current scientific understanding, other than this energy, no other energy can achieve such an effect.

As a result, this is somewhat impractical.

At least for now, it’s very impractical.

After all, Helium-3 is quite scarce on Earth today.

In other words, large-scale deployment is not realistic.

"System, aside from this rare Helium-3 energy source, what is the most potent energy source on Earth today that might be widely adopted?"

Lin Yi naturally understands that to obtain Helium-3, one would have to go into space.

But he doesn’t have this plan right now; to be precise, he doesn’t have the strength for it yet.

Therefore, his idea is to first understand what’s available on Earth before moving on. Content orıginally comes from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍

[Responding to the master’s question: The only super energy source on Earth that could be realized in the future is nuclear energy.]

Nuclear energy?? Hearing these two words, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel speechless.

He knows this even without the system telling him.

However, if something goes wrong with this thing and it leaks, it would be catastrophic.

"Nuclear energy is powerful, but it’s very hard to control. Is there a way to prevent leakage?"

Clearly, Lin Yi hasn’t done much research on nuclear energy.

In his impression, the first thing that comes to mind when nuclear energy is mentioned is the Fukushima incident in Plaster Country.

[Responding to the master’s question: The leakage of nuclear energy you’re referring to happens because today’s technology isn’t advanced enough.

The system will educate the master on nuclear fusion knowledge. Nuclear fusion is the process in which two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier atomic nucleus, releasing energy in the process.

The most easily achievable fusion reaction in nature is the fusion of hydrogen isotopes, specifically deuterium and tritium.

To put it in terms you might understand, this reaction has been happening on the sun for 5 billion years.

That’s right, the principle behind the sun above our heads is nuclear fusion, and controlled nuclear fusion is commonly known as the artificial sun.

Speaking of which, let me talk to you about controlled nuclear fusion.

Also, this leads us to ’deuterium.’

Deuterium is abundant in Earth’s seawater, with an estimated content of 40 trillion tons. If all were used for fusion reactions, the energy released would be enough for humans to use for billions of years.

Moreover, the reaction product is non-radioactive helium. Additionally, because nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures, if there’s a problem at any stage, the fuel temperature drops and the fusion reaction automatically stops.

This means that a fusion reactor is a sub-critical reactor, and won’t experience incidents like the Plaster Country Fukushima explosion you just thought of in your mind.

Because it is absolutely safe!

Therefore, as long as it’s applied properly and technological levels are in place, fusion energy is an infinite, clean, and safe new energy source.]

Hearing this, Lin Yi’s eyes couldn’t help but light up with excitement.

If nuclear fusion can achieve such results, then why bother researching Helium-3 energy at all?

Directly researching controlled nuclear fusion to a manageable level would allow many things to be accomplished, wouldn’t it?

For example, the energy on rockets; using air kinetic energy is impossible since there’s no wind in space.

But now there seems to be a way! Directly using controlled nuclear fusion energy could possibly allow multiple trips back and forth from Earth!

Of course, as Lin Yi was contemplating nuclear fusion, the Plaster Country he thought of earlier was experiencing a jubilation...
