553 The Strategic Importance of Nuclear Fusion
“Wow, he’s so fast!” an elite student could not help but scream.
This student had always held the school record in terms of speed, but Wu Mo had easily broken it.
As the mech flew across the sand, it sent gravel and dirt flying in all directions.
After he crossed the sand, Wu Mo faced the challenge of uneven terrain.
He quickly switched piloting modes, and the uneven ground was no obstacle for him.
Wu Mo easily passed through it.
“Wow! What just happened? The uneven terrain was like flat ground to the mech. It’s unbelievable!”
Even one of the teachers could not help but sigh.
The final challenge was the plum blossom piles. The distance between these huge plum blossom piles was only enough for a mech to move sideways.
During regular training, very few could pass through quickly.
Everyone would mind their step because they were afraid of damaging the mech’s outer shell.
Even the most outstanding teachers could only reduce the time they spent on the plum blossom piles by a small margin.
But now, they were witnessing a spectacular performance.
Wu Mo’s mech was as fast as lightning! It shuttled between the piles as if its performance had just been upgraded.
He quickly turned the mech sideways and passed the first pile. Then, he cleverly used the inertia to drift in a small range before he speedily passed the second pile!
During this process, Wu Mo did not use the propulsion system; he only relied on the inertia.
After he passed the second pile, he sped up and rushed toward the third pile.
Once he cleared three consecutive piles, Wu Mo adjusted his posture and quickly cleared the fourth, fifth, and sixth piles…
Everyone was stunned.
Their eyes and mouths were wide open, as they were unable to react for a moment.
“Is Chief Engineer Wu… human?” A student could not help but sigh.
He suddenly realized he sounded disrespectful, so he shut his mouth.
Wu Mo’s mech gradually came to a stop. He then opened the cockpit and jumped out.
The display of such superb skills would undoubtedly give the students something to study for a period of time.
These two skills were movement speed and switching between attack and defense. Even the teachers needed some time to study them.
Wu Mo smiled and waved at everyone. “Students, mech piloting is a complex subject. Most importantly, don’t forget the mission we bear.”
With a wave of his hand, Wu Mo ended his lecture successfully.
However, the students were reluctant to let Wu Mo leave.
His class was unique.
At the start, Wu Mo explained the various aspects of mech theory in simple terms to answer the students’ questions.
The combat drill segment was even more eye-opening for everyone. Whether it was the advanced techniques of switching between attack and defense or the rapid passage of obstacles, it was all mind-boggling.
Everyone present secretly thought that the Zhongtian Mech Training Center might need some time to carefully comprehend these exquisite techniques.
The news of Wu Mo’s lecture quickly spread in the media, and his deeds caused a sensation in the outside world.
Other mech schools were all racking their brains to invite Wu Mo over for a lecture. They were willing to spend a lot of money to bring glory to their schools.
However, it was clear that Wu Mo was not a greedy person. His main goal was to promote knowledge about mechs, not to earn money.
If Wu Mo really wanted to make a fortune, he had many other ways!
Furthermore, Wu Mo had not applied for patents for Life First and Life Second.
If he managed to protect his creations, he would earn a ton of money.
At this moment, the entire world was paying attention to a few important events.
The main concern was how many sea monsters were left.
Firstly, where did the two giant sea monsters that topped the rankings go?
Secondly, was China’s controllable nuclear fusion technology already available?
After all, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall. It was said that China had a controllable nuclear fusion research base in the Western Desert.
Once the news came out, many countries started to worry that China was close to achieving controllable nuclear fusion.
All the countries in the world were trying to catch up and research the same thing.
Once China successfully achieved controllable nuclear fusion, other countries would suffer a heavy blow.
Whoever achieved controllable nuclear fusion first would make a historic breakthrough in the energy field!
When that happened, China would be self-reliant in terms of energy, and it would even be able to export energy. It would not have to rely on other countries anymore.
In addition, China could vigorously develop its aerospace industry and use this massive energy to venture higher and farther into the mysterious universe.
However, to Wu Mo, these were not the most important issues.
There was only one thing he was most concerned about: Did that Carlotian find its spaceship and successfully return home?
To ease his concern, artificial satellites monitored space twenty-four hours a day.
If that Carlotian managed to return home on its spaceship, it would spell disaster for Wu Mo.
This was because once the Carlotians learned that Earth was actively exploring controllable nuclear fusion, they would definitely try their best to stop it.
