542 Star Map of the Universe

It had remained safe and sound although it had been at the center of ten large nuclear missile explosions. It showed no signs of melting.

Even the hardest metal on Earth would turn into molten iron in a nuclear explosion, but the red box did not change shape in the slightest.

“It’s worth making good use of this metal element,” an expert said excitedly. “If we can mine a large amount of such elements on that planet, we can develop all kinds of new technological equipment and even bring about another technological revolution!”

If things were made of this metal, their st.u.r.diness would be greatly improved.

When that happened, not only would their military strength be greatly enhanced, but ordinary transportation facilities would also become safer. People’s lives would be renewed.

However, using current technology to travel to a planet that was several hundred light-years away was a challenging task in itself.

It would take them at least another one to two hundred years to achieve this goal.

This was only a conservative estimate. It was extremely difficult to travel across light-years. Even light took five hundred and fifty years to reach this planet.

Mankind did not have the means to surpa.s.s the speed of light at this point. It would take five hundred and fifty years to reach the speed of light, let alone surpa.s.s it.

The experts were a little disappointed when they were reminded of this.

However, they understood that this was a test for mankind’s scientific and technological level. It was useless for them to be anxious.

“Is there really a star map hidden in this red box?”

Wu Mo frowned and carefully examined the red box.

Right then, the red box was sitting in gla.s.sware while stunned experts were surrounding it.

A star map referred to the distribution of planets in a certain region of the universe.

Having a star map was of great significance to the navigation of s.p.a.ce probes, as they would no longer be running around like headless flies.

They would explore planets with a goal thanks to the star map’s guidance.

The projector lit up with a purple light, and a picture appeared on the screen.

The entire laboratory plunged into darkness, so the projection was exceptionally clear.

The blue lines on the screen reflected the chaos in the background, and it looked as if there was floating dust in the vast expanse.

Some were particles formed after the explosion of large planets, and they were wandering aimlessly in the universe.

Others were dust from small chaotic planets.

There was also a particularly clear spot on the screen, which was Tafaro, five hundred and fifty light-years away.

“We can see the flickering Tafaro with our naked eye, but the reality is, traveling five hundred and fifty light-years is enough to take us a lifetime!” Wu Mo said emotionally.

Even though he had developed the incredible Dragon Shield and skybridge devices, traveling such a long distance was still a huge challenge for Wu Mo.

“Perhaps after we achieve controllable nuclear fusion and the unlimited expansion of a s.p.a.cecraft’s energy source, we can travel freely in the universe?”

The desire in Wu Mo’s heart became stronger than ever.

Controlled nuclear fusion would be his next research direction. He had to succeed!

The wormhole that had appeared in the ocean hinted at the existence of a mysterious advanced planet in the universe. Knowing this gave him a sense of serious danger.

In the future, mankind would likely be destroyed by these advanced civilizations from outer s.p.a.ce!

Wu Mo felt like he was under heavy pressure.

The biggest problem humanity faced in developing true controllable nuclear fusion was the materials!

Within a huge steel structure, a pile of particles was undergoing a fusion reaction.

The number of these particles was strictly controlled within an extremely narrow range.

The s.p.a.ce was small, and there were few of them!

This was because once the quant.i.ty reached a certain scale, no material could withstand it and would be completely dissolved.

Currently, the world’s smallest experimental facility for controllable nuclear fusion was located in China.

Although it was very small, it was already operating at its limit.

If they decided to go for a higher level, the nuclear fusion would explode all the materials!

The material issue was the biggest obstacle on the path of controllable nuclear fusion.

For this reason, Wu Mo had conducted an inspection of steel smelters in China and even around the world.

All kinds of st.u.r.dy materials and alloys had failed. This included st.u.r.dy alloys that were created at the last minute.

In the R&D academy, the young girl was still working tirelessly day and night to research materials that could provide controllable nuclear fusion!

However, she had yet to succeed. It was an area that all the experts in China and even the world were researching.

Even Wu Mo had returned empty-handed.

“You must keep this star map of the universe well and store it in the most confidential place,” Wu Mo solemnly instructed.

The security personnel immediately stored the red box and arranged for someone to look after it twenty-four hours a day.

This red box came from outer s.p.a.ce, and its material was unusually strong.

Wu Mo considered using this material to research controllable nuclear fusion.

However, this iron box alone would not be enough, right?

This iron box weighed only about thirty kilograms. How could it be enough to make the outer sh.e.l.l of a controllable nuclear fusion reactor?

“Wait, wait, wait, wait.”

Wu Mo suddenly stood at the door, and his entire body trembled.

“Hmm? What just happened to Chief Engineer Wu?”

The experts behind him were confused, but Wu Mo had a bold and solid idea: If there were more of these objects, would they not be able to use them as outer sh.e.l.l material for controllable nuclear fusion reactors?

The thought came to him like a bolt of lightning, and Wu Mo ruminated on the five-thousand-meter seabed under the wormhole.

Had more of these materials been left behind?

It was possible!

It was very possible!

Just like the huge steel box that resembled a bullet from before and this current metal box, were they not made of materials from outer s.p.a.ce?

Who could guarantee that something similar to the red box had not fallen out of the wormhole, only to be ignored?

A wild pa.s.sion burned in Wu Mo’s heart. He immediately found the old chief and shared his thoughts.

The old chief’s eyes lit up. If China could be the first to achieve controllable nuclear fusion, it would solve a huge problem that had plagued the world for decades!

“Alright, Wu Mo! I’ll contact the front line immediately and ask them to send out a large nuclear-powered submarine fleet to search the area! If these items appear, they’ll find it!”

The old chief also showed firm determination. China had to take the lead in achieving this breakthrough, and the key was to find a st.u.r.dy material!

It was highly possible that this extraterrestrial material had fallen to the bottom of the sea five thousand meters deep. Hence, Wu Mo took this matter very seriously.

He personally followed the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to the southeast coast.

Now that the wormhole had been blown up, there was no trace of it. Even so, its coordinates were still engraved on the aircraft carrier’s water chart.

It was the place where the sea monsters first appeared, and it was called the Sea of Misfortune.
