Chapter 488 Energy, still energy!
Chen Lin shook his head and it was still a bit unbelievable. A scientist who exists like this may be considered normal to the civilization to which Ellie belongs, but to the earth's civilization, he is already considered a god-like figure.
If there really is a scientist who defected from a higher civilization on the earth, and he wants to be a god on the earth, there will basically be no problem just relying on the technology he masters. After all, modern technology has developed to The future situation often looks like the effects shown in fantasy novels.
“The scientists of their civilization have been specially enhanced with various types of nerves. It does not mean that they are born with such all-round talents.”
Ding Yi said to Chen Lin, “According to Aili’s It is said that the team of scientists to which their civilization belongs are drawn from the entire civilization. Those with potential will receive intensive training exclusively for scientists. The selected geniuses will become even more geniuses. I heard that their highest-level scientists are It is level 12. That kind of existence has basically enhanced its body, and its omniscience and omnipotence are already considered the most basic. Hand-made nuclear weapons are just childish for these super scientists.”
"I'll go..."
Chen Lin couldn't help but say, "Ai'an of the Pioneer Civilization wanted to get you a similar enhancement. Didn't you refuse at that time?"
"It's different. Ai'an's one is for external device enhancement, while Aili's one is for body enhancement, and has a stronger meaning of cultivation."
Ding Yi said seriously to Chen Lin. , then waved his hand, "Oh no, there's so much nonsense here. Hurry up and get what I need. It's okay if you can't build a fusion reactor for a while. You can use multiple crystals first. The engine is just fine."
Chen Lin gave Ding Yi a look: "You really don't know how expensive fuel, rice, fuel and salt are. Do you think a spar reactor can be obtained so easily?"
"That's easier than a fusion reactor, right?"
"That's true."
Ding Yi suddenly clapped her hands: "That's it! I'm here for the star gate base. It will take at most another week for me to complete the construction and then conduct the energy input test. Within a week, you must get me at least three more spar reactors!"
"..."
"This is not to let you work in vain. I am just doing a round of testing using the energy output of the spar reactor. The reactor you want to come is still your own thing. What will happen to Anyun Base then? Will there be three more reactors? Think about it!”
"I really didn't expect that Ding Yi would become like this one day."
"This is called evolving with the times, brother!"
Ding Yi laughed and patted Chen Lin's shoulders, "The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. You are now much more mature and stable than you were two years ago!"
"...I will go to the association to apply for a spar reactor now. "
"Come on, Ding is optimistic about you."
"..."
Chen Lin's call went directly to the vice president of the association. After figuring out what Chen Lin meant, the association immediately agreed to the application. The spar reactor thing Mainly, they are special-level stock materials. As the person in charge of Anyun Base, Chen Lin has full control over any Anyun Base and can mobilize these materials to any place at any time. It doesn't matter when to turn them on or off. He has the final say.
But the key is that there are not many Anyun bases, so Chen Lin can only re-apply to the association for transfer.
The time given by Ding Yi was quite generous. It didn’t even take a week. The reactor sent by the association was only used for three days. According to the staff who sent it, it took more than two days to make the equipment. Time and raw materials are not the problem. The main thing is to configure the ACS platform.
The reactors were all installed directly around Ding Yi’s exclusive laboratory at the Anyun base. The three spar reactors could be started to output energy on the same day after being installed by professionals. Chen Lin specially asked someone to contact Ding. instrument.
Ding Yi directed everyone to connect the lines and other things in parallel with the inside of the laboratory, and said to Chen Lin: "According to Ali, this kind of crystal reactor is actually at the level of a small toy."
"Small toy?"
Chen Lin was slightly surprised: "The output efficiency of this thing has surpassed all power stations on the earth. The efficiency of the spar reactor is second only to the fusion we have developed so far. For the reactor, the key is that this thing has not been polluted..."
Ding Yi chuckled: "We are the taller ones among the short ones. Their technology tree is based on nuclear fission energy - nuclear fusion. Energy - cold fusion energy - antimatter energy - vacuum zero point energy - dark matter energy. Are you familiar with this route? The design is really good and it is very consistent with current human understanding."
“The current main method of nuclear fusion is deuterium-tritium fusion. Its mass-to-energy conversion rate is about three times that of nuclear fission. Under normal circumstances, the temperature required for deuterium-tritium fusion is extremely high. Human beings want to realize this type of fusion. For fusion, the best way is to achieve cold nuclear fusion technology through various means - such as using muons to replace electrons and reducing the atomic radius to achieve nuclear fusion at lower temperatures."
"We are still stuck in the cold fusion stage, but it seems that the distance is not too far away. Most materials science and basic theories have matured."
"If cold nuclear fusion technology is realized, it can significantly expand nuclear power. The range of fusion raw materials will be a huge breakthrough for energy exporters."
"But for their civilization, antimatter energy is the basic version. Antimatter and antimatter will annihilate you. Do you know? The annihilation of matter releases energy, and the mass-to-energy conversion rate is 100%. It is an almost unreachable technology for us, but for them it has become the most basic way of providing energy, just like ours It’s the same as a thermal power station.”
Chen Lin was speechless at this time. This guy came out every few days and continued to give him various science knowledge. Chen Lin could only ensure that he came out. Some of them he could understand and understand, but he couldn't really touch or understand the more profound things. However, Ding Yi took good care of him and only touched on many things, which somewhat saved Chen Lin some face.
“We have talked about the development of human energy. It is necessary for me to popularize knowledge related to energy development with you.”
Ding Yi smiled and saw that the work of connecting the spar reactor in the distance would still take some time, so he specially asked Chen Lin to speak out.
Energy is a necessary resource for the maintenance of human society. Every advancement of human society is an innovation in the use of energy. It is determined to obtain higher, bigger, stronger and more surging energy from the world. All superstructures built on energy resources.
Combustion is the most basic way of obtaining energy. Through the oxidation reaction, the chemical energy stored in the fuel is released and converted into thermal energy. This thermal energy is then used for secondary conversion to achieve the required energy form. .
Whether it is the steam engine of the industrial revolution or the thermal power station that still accounts for a large proportion of current power generation, this kind of power that humans have been trying to harness for millions of years has still not been completely tamed. In a short time The combustion effects of superpower were collisions and explosions, hence the birth of fission reactors.
From the most basic nuclear fission reactor, to fusion reactor, cold fusion reactor, antimatter reactor, zero point reactor, and finally dark matter reactor, every advancement in these reactors will always bring about changes in the entire field of science and technology. Progress and upgrades across the board. When humans have the ability to fully enter space, they can try to completely conquer a star - such as building a Dyson sphere.
Chen Lin is aware of the Dyson sphere. It was originally proposed by Dyson, a scientist from the White Eagle Association. It is a theoretical giant artificial structure. The current human civilization does not have the ability to build such a giant structure. structure ability.
The scientist believes that such structures are a logical necessity for civilizations that have existed for a long time in the universe and have rising energy needs, and suggest searching for such artificial celestial structures in order to find alien super civilizations...
The purpose of this structure is to completely surround a star in order to obtain most or all of its energy output. The Dyson sphere will completely shield the entire star, and all the light and heat it emits will be collected, thereby obtaining the best possible outcome of the entire stellar system. Powerful energy.
But the price is that the planet of this star will no longer be able to obtain light and will be trapped in eternal ice.
Because the Dyson Sphere achieves complete blockade of the star, the material strength and heat resistance of the entire super building, as well as the materials required to build it, will bring a heavy burden to the builder. The construction period is long, the material consumption is large, and the construction The initial return is small... In addition, the use of the resource itself is one-time, and some advanced civilizations will soon no longer use this method to obtain energy.
“I would say that we don’t need to consider the disadvantages of the Dyson Sphere at all. For human civilization, energy is everything. The Dyson Sphere can provide a huge amount of energy extremely efficiently. The time we use this thing It probably won’t be long. Let’s not talk about the Origin Star. Once the Rock Station on the Blue Star has established its footing, as we expand our influence, giant structures like the Dyson Sphere will immediately be put on the agenda.”
Although Chen Lin agrees with Ding Yi's statement, the Dyson spheres he has seen in various science fiction works basically require a lot of basic scientific theories and various super materials to achieve. He really has some doubts about the current situation. Does the Red Dragon Association have this ability?
Ding Yi seemed to see through Chen Lin's confusion. He explained to Chen Lin: "You don't have to worry about whether we have that kind of technological level. What we studied the past few days was not about team building. Then Most of the elites of our Red Dragon Association have gone for surprise training. The next time will be the era of real technological explosion of the association. The association may have to spend thousands or even trillions in the next few months alone. Carry out various scientific research projects.”
Chen Lin wanted to say something else, and Ding Yi talked about Ai’an, the pioneer civilization.
"I heard Ellie say something about the Pioneers once. They were actually a member of the Night Alliance, but later they broke away from the alliance and entered another dimension through subspace. Many of their technologies are similar to those of the Alliance. There are similar points. "
"The mechanical ascension of the Pioneer civilization failed. It is reported that many galaxies of the Pioneer civilization were extinguished, the invading insect plague was also cleared, and the core Zerg race was in the Pioneer. As a side effect of the failed ascension of the pioneer civilization, many galaxies, including the home planet of the pioneer civilization, became a dead place."
After Ding Yi finished speaking, he stared at Chen. Lin said: "There are probably not too many enemies in the outer space of Blue Sea Star. We previously assessed that there are many dangers in Blue Sea Star's universe, and there are swarms of Kara Zerg. Now it seems that there may be a deviation. ."
Chen Lin nodded: "This is good news."
"It is indeed good news."
After Professor Ding finished speaking, he shouted to the person in the distance, indicating that he had moved the line incorrectly. He trotted over and gave some guidance. Chen Lin also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to run away, but just as he turned around to leave, Ding Yi had already ran back.
"Time waits for no one, Chen Lin!"
Ding Yi ran over and suddenly became a little emotional: "I am already 39 this year, how old are you? Twenty-seven or eight years old, maybe? ? You have more than ten years of good years ahead of me!"
"I am about to turn 40. Speaking of which, I have already spent half of my life, but I have no confidence that I can survive the rest of my life. One hundred years old, eighty years old and already exhausted."
Chen Lin smiled and said: "With the development of science and technology, professor, maybe there will be perfect medical treatment technology in two years, which will not extend life or anything. That’s it.”
"We have this thing now, but the effect is not as powerful as you just said, but it is basically not difficult to treat existing human diseases... Ahem, why did you mention this?"
< br>Ding Yi coughed lightly and said to Chen Lin: "Originally, I was a resolute non-marriage advocate. This idea was born when I was 13 years old and continues to this day. My idea at that time Society is a huge stinky puddle, and I don’t want another child to jump in if I stink so much.”
Chen Lin seemed to have guessed what Professor Ding was going to say next.
"But it's different now, the portal has appeared."
Ding Yi looked at Chen Lin with bright eyes: "Everything is new, everything is brand new, I suddenly Find the meaning of life. Personal life is short, but human beings are a species and can last! ”
"...Just tell me what you want to do, Professor!"
"Ahem...I'm thinking of asking you to find a similar partner for me."
Ding Yi looked like one With a bachelor's attitude, he said, "It's really not appropriate to go directly to the association. It's like I have something to ask them for. I'm not used to it. You are the leader of Anyun Base after all. There are at least several thousand to Anyun Base." Are you ready? Just help me find someone who is similar. You know all about my conditions."
Chen Lin suddenly laughed uncontrollably and laughed for a while. Ding Yi's unkind expression softened.
“Just tell me if it can be done!”
"That must be no problem."
Chen Lin nodded slightly, "Speaking of which, if you want to marry a wife, you can just find a native of the Origin Star, who is gentle, virtuous and can manage the family. I saw Irina even opened a related Training, specifically to send a daughter-in-law to us..."
"I don’t want aborigines, I want offspring with high IQs, so the mother of the child must also be a scientific researcher, that’s all I ask!”
Ding Yi waved his hand and ran away, "I'll leave this to you, brother!"
Chen Lin suddenly laughed again.
