Solution selection: Liquid lithium

In the information age, the speed of news dissemination is extremely fast.

In just a few hours, all the news about what happened in the United States was exposed on the Internet.

Even the official Weibo account of the news in China also posted a Weibo.

"Same as the United States, everything China does is also for the development of mankind!"

This Weibo received countless likes and comments in just a few minutes!

"Goodness! I can't help but exclaim!"

"What you said makes sense. Everything we do is to deal with aliens! As for who the aliens are... cough cough! Those who understand know!"

"Damn! The one upstairs is a genius!"

"To be fair, this situation should be regarded as an arms race 2.0, right?"

"Be bolder and remove the word'should'!"

"To be precise, it should be regarded as a space race now!"

"Stop talking. I bet China will win! As for why... just because we have Professor Lü, and they don't!"

...

In the First Ring Road area of Beijing.

Councilor Li sat quietly in his office. On the desk in front of him was a document.

The content of the document was actually the detailed content of the U.S. Pathfinder Plan!

"Hehe..."

Councilor Li chuckled lightly and casually threw the document recording the details of the U.S. Pathfinder Plan aside.

"Minister He, next, gradually reduce the scale of unimportant industries."

"All resources in China should be given priority to the Space Administration!"

He Zhiye, the Minister of Finance of China, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he couldn't help exclaiming in surprise, "Councilor, this, this may have a huge impact on China's economy!"

Councilor Li glanced at He Zhiye indifferently and said softly, "This is an order."

"Besides reducing the scale of unimportant industries, starting from today, ban the export of any resources!"

"Moreover, import steel and various mineral resources from abroad at all costs!"

"Remember! This is an order!"

He Zhiye's pupils trembled violently!

He couldn't even imagine what kind of impact these few orders would have on China now!

"Execute these measures... slowly, and don't let the public notice anything strange." Councilor Li pondered for a moment and then added, "China at present can't afford too much trouble."

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

He Zhiye swallowed slightly, and shouted firmly!

...

Lv Yongchang, who had been "in seclusion" in the office for several days, naturally didn't know what was happening outside.

Of course, even if he knew, he would probably just sneer.

What time is it now, and they're still having some kind of competition?!

Not to mention that at this moment, his mind was full of various complex formulas.

The large desk was already piled up with all kinds of draft papers filled with handwriting.

"Slap!"

Lv Yongchang let out a long sigh of relief and slapped the pen in his hand on the solid wood desk.

"I made it..."

He stared blankly at the draft paper in front of him and murmured to himself.

On the draft paper was a string of extremely beautiful formulas!

He reached out and rubbed his slightly red eyes, and took a deep breath.

It took three days!

In these three days, except for the necessary eating and sleeping time, the pen in his hand never stopped!

Hard work pays off, and he finally succeeded in establishing a mathematical model of sonoluminescence!

Looking at the mathematical model he painstakingly established, Lv Yongchang nervously filled in various parameters.

Soon, the calculation result came out.

Looking at the calculation data on the draft paper, Lv Yongchang's pupils suddenly constricted!

He never expected that to achieve small - scale controlled nuclear fusion, such a material would be needed!

Lithium metal!

All kinds of properties of lithium metal instantly emerged in his mind.

Lithium, a metallic element, its simple substance is a silver - white, soft metal, and it is also the metal with the lowest density.

Its melting point is 180.54℃.

From this perspective, lithium metal can really be used as a kind of "solution".

After all, as long as it is heated to above 180.54℃, it can turn into a liquid state.

Lv Yongchang looked at the calculation result in front of him and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, using liquid lithium as the reaction solution was a bit unexpected, but after careful consideration, it was reasonable!

After all, lithium metal also has its unique uses in atomic reactors.

While thinking about the feasibility of using liquid lithium as the reaction solution, he stood up from the chair and slowly walked towards the door of the office.

...

"Click..."

The sound of the office door opening immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the laboratory.

"Yongchang, you finally came out!"

Fang Xu's eyes lit up, and he took the lead in walking towards Lv Yongchang, "How is it? Did you solve it?"

Lv Yongchang raised his head, shook the draft paper in his hand, and nodded slightly.

"Wow! Your dark circles!" The moment he saw Lv Yongchang's face, Fang Xu was shocked, "Did you not sleep at all in these three days?"

Fang Xu's reaction obviously startled Lv Yongchang as well.

The movement of his hand suddenly stopped, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch around his eyes, "Is it that exaggerated... I slept for a total of 10 hours in these three days!"

Fang Xu's expression became strange: "...10 hours?"

"Forget it, you'd better go to sleep first!"

"If you die suddenly because of this, Councilor Li will probably skin me alive!"

Lv Yongchang waved his hand indifferently, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Let's do the experiment first. We don't have that much time to waste!"

Seeing Lv Yongchang like this, Fang Xu could only sigh helplessly and winked at a researcher beside him.

"Okay, you're the boss of the laboratory, you have the final say."

"Tell me, what do you want us to do?"

Hearing Fang Xu's question, Lv Yongchang subconsciously turned his head to look at the reaction vessel placed aside.

He frowned slightly and slowly shook his head, "No! We need to change the container!"

"Contact the factory. We need to order a special - made container!"

Hearing this, Fang Xu also frowned.

"Order a special - made container?"

"This will take a lot of time... What solution are you going to use? I'll give the factory a heads - up in advance."

As he spoke, Fang Xu picked up a pen and paper from the side to record Lv Yongchang's requirements for the container.

"Liquid lithium."

Lv Yongchang's indifferent words echoed in the laboratory.

Fang Xu's hand movement stopped instantly.

The next moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lv Yongchang in front of him in horror, exclaiming.

"What?!"

"Liquid lithium?!"

"This... This is too dangerous!"

You know, lithium has the strongest metal activity among the known elements!

Therefore, the danger of lithium simple substance is extremely high!

One careless move and it will catch fire, and then trigger an explosion!
