Chapter 176 Approaching
There is a huge gap between the microscopic and the macroscopic, and it is easy to create misconceptions without experiencing it for yourself. After Erics obtained "infinite energy" after owning the ternary micro-nuclear fusion reactor, he wanted to try to see if he could directly create
A starship-level warp drive or nuclear fusion reactor.
However, the equipment used on the starship requires a lot of high-level materials, and each material is not readily available. The scale of the project to synthesize these materials using neutrons is too large, far beyond the amount of work to separate deuterium from water and synthesize tritium.
Comparable.
Refining substances and making elements form specific compounds consumes far less energy than changing the number of atoms. The former is like refining and making glass from sand, while the latter is equivalent to fusion or fission. In addition, fusion is more energy-intensive than fission.
It is difficult. If the high-atomic number element materials required to manufacture the warp engine are generated by fusion with the low-atomic number materials around Alex, the efficiency will be too low, the time cost will be too high, and it will be beyond Alex's ability to bear.
From a cosmic perspective, materials with low atomic numbers have a high proportion of matter. The higher the atomic number, the rarer the elements. Stability is one of the key factors, and another more important factor is actually the method of production. Gold and silver
This kind of heavy metal can only be naturally generated when a supernova explodes, which will of course affect their quantity in the universe. However, the small-scale nuclear fusion and warp drive that Alex knew require these specific elements to make shield generators and restraint devices.
, is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed.
"Step by step, first see if we can improve the small somersault cloud, and then look for mineral veins." Alex scratched his head and decided to create a feasible plan. "Although the mine cannon has been dismantled, the core components are still there.
Now. It was originally used for prospecting, and by restoring it, you can find the required minerals. Well...refining is simpler than fusion, and easier to achieve."
Are there no useful things in substances with low atomic numbers? Of course not. Basically, the four elements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen can form ever-changing combinations. If nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are added... well, Alex is not a living thing.
He is a scientist, he is only familiar with brain-control body transplantation and neurosurgery, and the rest only has basic knowledge. He can use corpora to refine sugar cubes or alcohol on animal corpses, but this is far less direct than his
Manipulate the molecular structure of carbon to create special materials.
Whether it is diamond or graphene, they are both good things that he can use now. Diamond knives are widely used and can help a lot in daily life, so there is no need to change the calculation stick. Graphene is in energy
There is a lot of room for improvement in terms of batteries, which can increase the total energy reserve of the Little Somersault Cloud.
With better solar cells and more precise processing levels, Alex now has the ability to upgrade the small somersault cloud into an aircraft capable of continuous navigation throughout the day. At the beginning, when he only had a computing stick, Alex did not dare to do trigonometric calculations.
Yi made too many modifications and was afraid of wasting precious materials. Now that he has elements and micro-nuclear fusion, he can take drastic measures to turn the statically unbalanced aircraft into a statically balanced aircraft and reduce the difficulty of flight control. Only in this way, Ai Rui
Kescai can use the flight time to think and design in the air, and process materials in the air.
Just as he said, Alex stopped temporarily by the river and began to upgrade the little somersault cloud for the first time. In fact, the little somersault cloud was only born for two "days", and it had not even been in the killer star.
After flying under the light, he was already facing a new generation. Alex didn't want to be so anxious, but the entry of the Alien Association into the sky and earth increased his sense of urgency.
"We must have mining cannons for exploration, and then build warp engines and nuclear fusion engines as soon as possible!" If he wants to obtain the big goal of Shanhe Sheji, Alex must set such a small goal for himself. Dismantled into parts
The mine gun needs to be reassembled to at least restore its detection capabilities. However, the core part of its detection capabilities - the energy filter - is now the charging device of the small somersault cloud.
"If the elemental body could exist without my body, the problem would have been solved long ago." Alex was also helpless. He believed that the elemental body must have a way to leave the body and exist, and the "magic weapon" has this ability.
Proof; he believes that the energy generated by the elemental body can also be directly used in the body. Otherwise, where did the master's incredible speed and power come from?
But now that he does not have the guidance of his master, he can only figure out how to use the elemental body on his own. If he is used to getting all the information directly from the starship database, he will definitely not be used to completely blind guessing. But this kind of making assumptions and then
The path of realization through research is the normal scientific method, and science has always been a job that requires hard work, hard work, and even stupid effort.
"There is only one energy filter, which means that charging and detection cannot be completed at the same time - but this will only become a real problem when a killer star appears. As long as the shield is not turned on, as long as the carbon-based solar panels I create are efficient enough
Okay, it’s not too difficult to maintain flight status.”
With a plan in mind, Alex took the time to act. Being close to the river gave him the convenience of replenishing food and water, and now he could replenish deuterium. On Earth, deuterium extracted from one liter of water undergoes nuclear fusion.
, enough to generate the energy for burning 300 liters of gasoline. This energy efficiency is enough to support refining and morphological change operations based on chemical energy.
As long as you have basic knowledge of chemistry, you can know what elements are around you. Rocks, soil, air, water, plus the creatures hidden under the water, they provide Alex with the vast majority of low-atomic number substances. In
Subsonic flight in the atmosphere does not require too high structural strength. Supersonic or sub-light speed depends on shields, which is also not structural strength, so Alex plans to use these elements to make a bone and plastic aircraft.
When going back and forth between the bottom of the water and the river, the fish inside are suffering. Naturally evolved aquatic creatures cannot compare with compound evolved humans with basic force thrusters in terms of mobility, and their weapons and defenses are incomparable to computing sticks.
There is no resistance. With the computing power of the brain-controlled body combined with the vision touch screen, Alex's underwater observation ability is better than that of the creatures here, and the mimic disguise cannot escape his eyes. Except for the computing stick, there is only one.
It's not the three tips. Except that Alex doesn't have the habit of swimming naked, in other aspects he is not much different from "Aquaman".
Fish bones and stones were transformed into a harder support frame by the transformation of the elemental body, and the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen of organic molecules were converted into specific polymer materials by Alex, becoming the accessories of the small somersault cloud. The original titanium
The alloy delta wing has also shifted from rough processing to fine processing, center of gravity, lift, drag... Even if there is no wind tunnel to actually blow it, Alex can find general rules from the design of countless aircraft in the atmosphere and apply them.
He is now a one-man workshop. Although he lacks large-scale production capabilities and although the product range is limited by the lack of materials, his manufacturing and processing capabilities are the best in the universe. There is no clanking sound here, only hand-held raw materials.
A rattling sound as it rubs against parts.
Every friction can "grind" out a part of the material; every friction is equivalent to a movement of the 3D printing head. The particles are printed layer by layer, turning Alex's design into reality. Because
The working scene of the elemental body cannot be seen from the outside world, so watching Alex's work directly is like watching magic.
The monotonous friction sound echoed in the ears, and the sounds of animals shouting to each other came from the wind, but this was not the only sound that Alex heard. Ever since the Alien Association's spacecraft entered the sky and earth, Alex started
The communication center has been monitoring the surrounding communications. At first, these starships said nothing to each other, and they were probably just minding their own explorations.
Then there was a distress signal.
About halfway through the upgrade and modification project, this intermittent and very vague distress signal appeared. It was a repeated signal in the universal language of heaven and man, which kept saying that its coordinate position and starship were damaged, and personnel were injured.
Because he fell too fast, Alex didn't know how the Alien Association divided the coordinates of the sky and earth, so he could only use the communication center to determine the direction of the signal. If he flew up, he would select a few more points for triangulation.
Alex can also know the source of the signal. But he thinks this signal is more like a trap.
Generally speaking, why it was damaged and what dangers there are around are relatively more important information, because it can prevent rescuers from being exposed to the same threats and enhance the determination of others to rescue. Like others in the Alien Association, Alex
I really want to know if their crash has anything to do with the Celestial beings, and whether the area around the crash is safe now. People from the Alien Association had no contact with each other before, and they were probably using signal silence to guard against the Celestial beings. The first one to break the silence
People just repeat words in a loop, which does not build trust at all.
The broadcast kept sending, but there was no response in the channel until the second distress signal joined in. "At coordinates xxx, the Celestial Being attacked my starship, causing it to crash! There is only one Celestial Being who can fly with a long staff. He
Without a starship, the gravitational wave radar cannot detect him! He has a very strong shield that cannot be broken through, but it cannot attack when the shield is open. He has left now, who can help me? I can provide
More detailed information!”
This is called professionalism. Alex admired in his heart and continued to advance the work at hand. The little somersault cloud will be able to leave the mountain in half a day. The battery power is enough to support it to continue flying before the killer star occurs, while using the mine cannon.
When searching for underground resources. Gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin, we need these five metals first. It would be better if we could find more titanium and lead.
After a while, another victim was added to the help channel and the third coordinate was reported.
"This speed is a bit fast... I don't know how many of them died without sending a distress signal. Anyway, the total number of destroyed is no less than three." Alex touched the back of his head and suddenly had an idea: "Already
There are three coordinates, and I know the source direction of their signals, can I deduce the coordinate system of Tiantu Continent?"
The Tiantu Continent is basically a flat rectangle, so each side only needs two vertical and horizontal coordinate axes to represent each point. Except for the use of the twelve decimal system, the Alien Association's other mathematical systems are basically the same. Three crashes
The coordinates of the location are all in the form of (xx.xx.xx-1), which has shown certain rules.
The horizontal and vertical coordinates plus height plus an identifier representing a certain plane of the celestial body. Alex paused his work, put his hand on the brain control body, matched the three coordinates with their vector directions, and then solved the system of equations
The problem.
The calculation process was not difficult. The coordinate system was quickly deduced, and then Alex discovered a not-so-good phenomenon. "How come the three coordinate positions are coming in my direction in order?"
The three coordinates cannot be connected in a straight line, but if an approximate arc is drawn, it is indeed approaching Alex's direction, and he has to pay attention to it. No matter how small the somersault cloud is, it is the only one within a few hundred miles.
The aircraft was still too conspicuous compared to the Gobi wilderness. Alex made a prompt decision, activated the small somersault cloud, lifted it up, and dragged it directly into the water.
Turning off the anti-gravity engine, the small somersault cloud immediately sank, but the buoyancy of the water helped Alex, allowing him to lift the aircraft and walk under the water. After moving along the river for a while, Alex noticed that the river channel had changed.
It became narrower, the water became more rapid, and there were no longer shoals on both sides but cliff-like mountain walls. So he stopped and dragged the small somersault cloud to the rocks on the river bank.
At this time, the fourth distress call appeared, and the coordinate position was closer to Alex. If calculated according to the time interval between the three of them, the heavenly being may arrive near Alex in a while. Success or failure depends on this.
In one fell swoop, Alex's only hope was to hide in nature. He took out the computing stick, converted it into vibration blasting mode, and embedded it directly into the rocks by the river. Through vibrations, he calculated the structure of the rocks supporting each other.
Then through blasting, less important rocks and soil are dug out directly.
The water was turbid, but Alex had a vision touch screen and could constantly analyze the situation in front of him. He dug diagonally downwards and dug a hollow under the rocks on the river bank. Then, he used a computing stick to lift the delta wing
Cut it off, reduce its size and push it into the hole.
The soil on the top of the cave slowly fell, and the small somersault cloud would soon be buried, but it was safe below. Alex was worried about the existence of deep scanning and the like, so he did not dare to stay near the small somersault cloud.
Then he headed upstream. He was going to dig another small hole and bury himself underneath.
As long as he is in water, he has unlimited energy to synthesize the necessary substances. Unlimited oxygen, sugar, and alcohol are enough for him to live for a long time.
At this moment, a communication channel suddenly appeared in the communication center. It was still asking for help, but it was different from the previous one. "Asking for help! I met a heavenly being and I have suppressed him with a barrier-breaking laser! Come and provide continuous firepower! Yes!
I hope to defeat the Celestial Being! There are many secrets hidden in him. Just studying his shields and energy weapons is worth the price of admission! I know you are worried about the number of Celestial beings and worry that there will be more than one. But if you don’t defeat the first one,
There won’t be another one! If we don’t unite, we will only be defeated individually, and we will never win!”
"For the sake of the Alien Association and for all civilizations, unite!"
The slogan was good, and Alex was a little moved. He looked at the coordinates, and although it was only three hundred kilometers away, when he thought that he had just removed the wings of the small somersault cloud and buried it, he knew that he would not be able to make it.
"Oh, that was a mistake." Alex scratched his head under the water. He thought that if he went over and used the materials from those starships, it would indeed be possible to make a device for compounding evolved humans, and then have a chance to meet the heavenly beings. But he
Chapter completed!
