Chapter 449 The Toroidal Device Following that, Donald departed to make his way over to Lord Campbell Mountain Villa. There, he touched base with Lilith and Ryan, amongst others. They had already known for some time through Kingsley that not only had Donald fully recovered, but the latter had also attained massive gains to his own prowess. Regarding Donald, Lilith said, “Congratulations to you on your rebirth, Lord Campbell, and for being able to grow from strength to strength!” Donald acknowledged her with a nod. “Having been so close to death, the powder from the Jadar Stone has awakened in me a new ability.” With that, he emitted a golden mist from the tip of his finger.
Lilith’s expression stiffened. “What’s that?” Donald shook his head. “I’ve no idea, but it possesses a tremendous life force that could destroy cancerous cells.” “One moment, please.” An excited Lilith immediately went to fetch a glass bottle so that Donald could release some of that golden mist into it. Then, she carefully capped the vessel. “I’m off to conduct some tests. Bye!” Then, she bounded away. “Chiliad Avion welcomes the news of your return.” A profoundly emotional Ryan approached and regarded Donald. Pausing briefly, he subsequently appeared tentative. “Do speak freely,” Donald said. Ryan evoked a bitter smile. “It’s Hannah. She’s been moping around since she quit the past year, and I think you may have something to do with it… Would you mind checking in on her when you are able to?”
That surprised Donald. “Sure thing.” “Our research on new energy and the extreme insulation material supported by the controlled fusion technology has been completed, and is ready to be publicized at any time,” said Ryan while he brought out two items from the side. One of them was a toroidal device the size of a beer bottle’s cap, with numerous sets of circuitry running inside. Bearing a close resemblance to the Arc Reactor on Iron Man’s chest in the movies, the only difference was in how much more compact their device was in comparison. Receiving that device, Donald was immediately able to sense the massive amounts of energy contained within when he weighed it in his hands. The energy supply from it was very stable and almost constantly at flow. In addition, he did not sense much radiation emitting from it. “Is it a Tokamak? A portable nuclear reactor?” Donald was extremely pleased. “Yes. It’s a Tokamak device. When fitted onto a cell phone, one set could be used continuously for up to a year without needing a charge! Should it be blown up to the size of a basketball, it could potentially power an electric vehicle for over a range of two thousand kilometers! At present, the most advanced forms of new energy could only top out at eight hundred meters!” This has huge commercial potential!
“Where do we stand on its safety standards and anti-counterfeiting measures?” From the expression on his face, Donald did not appear to have been overtly carried away. He had exhibited excellent foresight in handing the technology over to Chiliad Avion first time when he came into this technology ten years ago. “The device is extremely stable, and almost certainly would not explode. Much less needs to be said on the anti-counterfeiting front, as it will automatically cut off its power immediately upon the detection of any attempts at tampering and reduce itself to a pile of worthless circuitry,” Ryan said. “My gut feeling tells me that you may very well become the richest man in the world within the year once we get this out into the market.
All the major players around the world would want to collaborate with you, giving you control over the lifeblood of all the corporations, both large and small! This would be era-defining! Revolutionary!” “What about the costs? Donald asked. “The cost of a small device is estimated to be around eight hundred. The larger ones that could be fitted on new energy cars would cost over ten thousand,” Ryan said. “These are current market rates. They are much cheaper compared to the lithium batteries that are presently used in electric cars because those cost more than fifty, sixty thousand apiece!” “It’s decided then. The World’s Fair will be held soon. Let’s try to find an opportunity to promote it there,” Donald said. “But the World’s Fair is going to be hosted in Dartan…” Ryan said apprehensively.
“With Dartan currently in a state of anarchy, I fear that it might be dangerous for us to bring such a critical piece of technology there…” “Just do as I say. It’ll be fine because I’ll be coming along too,” Donald replied. Apart from Jennifer, I’ve pretty much met up with all the people I ought to meet with. Seems like my memory has almost fully recovered. At nine at night, Donald surveyed the entire expanse of the reclaimed land before him which he found to already be in a state of splendor.
