Cheng Yuan's request naturally made the high-level discussion again, although Cheng Yuan was only talking about two precious metal mines, but there are also many very rare and precious metals in the precious metals.

Not only are these precious metals stored in very small quantities, but they are also used in a wide range of applications.

And Cheng Yuan's vague request made them hesitate for a while, if Cheng Yuan asked for that very rare and precious metal, would they give it or not?

In the end, it was Hua Lao who made the final decision: "Here, Cheng Yuan's kid is a thief, don't look at him in the past few years, he hasn't done anything in the past few years, in fact, he has been mining the minerals he needs all over the world as early as when intelligent machinery was rampant." “

Regarding this point, Hua Lao's heart is clear, after all, many of the ore vein locations where they have records, after the intelligent machinery is driven away, they can't wait to prepare for mining and utilization.

But the results were not very good, because many of the precious veins had already been mined by the time they rushed over.

Through Feng Zhang, Cheng Yuan also received Hua Lao's answer, looking at Feng Zhang with an embarrassed smile in front of him, Cheng Yuan smiled and waved his hand, comforting: "Mr. Feng, don't be nervous, my requirements are not high, it's just two platinum group metal mines." “

The corners of Feng Zhang's mouth twitched, although he didn't know much about metals, but after Cheng Yuan proposed to use metal ore as a condition, he specially went to study it.

Platinum group metals, when people hear [platinum], the first impression people have is platinum. After all, this is the most famous and valuable. However, he has already checked the information, but he knows that platinum group metals also contain palladium, iridium, osmium, ruthenium, rhodium and other precious and rare metals, most of which are still used in the aerospace industry!

Since the announcement of the Mars development plan, the aerospace market has become hotter and hotter day by day, and the prices of related basic materials have naturally risen wildly.

And the price of platinum group metals is becoming more and more precious day by day!

However, since Hua Lao decided to agree to Cheng Yuan's request, he naturally would not act against him.

"I see, Mr. Cheng. I will report your request to Hua Lao, then I will leave first. Feng Zhang pursed his lips, nodded to Cheng Yuan seriously, and then got up to leave.

It is no exaggeration to say that if in the past a platinum group mine could bring a profit of 100 million to a person, then now a platinum group mine can bring a profit of 10 billion to a person.

This is a hundredfold increase, and it may become even higher over time.

Feng Zhang left in a hurry, and Cheng Yuan instructed Zero after he left: "Zero, get ready, two warships and a team of guardians." “

"Okay. Zero nodded, and then wondered, "But sir, why do you want two platinum group mines, it doesn't matter to us, and besides, you haven't even decided on the size." “

Although platinum group ores have great application value in spaceflight, for him, two platinum group mines are simply not comparable to two warships and a pair of guardians.

Cheng Yuan didn't give Zero an explanation, he changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about this, I have recently thought of some new technologies, based on dark energy and quantum energy. “

Cheng Yuan didn't explain Zero and didn't ask any further, he was just stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Dark energy and quantum?"

"What's wrong?"

"I thought it was dark energy and tachyon. Zero smiled.

Cheng Yuan shrugged his shoulders, and his tone was slightly helpless: "No way, there is too little research on tachyon, and there are still more research materials on dark energy and quantum." “

"What kind of ideas are you involved in this time?"

"In terms of energy, although nuclear fusion energy allows us to have clean and efficient energy, it is still a bit insufficient for us at present. “

Zero thought for a while, nodded slightly, and agreed: "What you said is very reasonable, as long as the volume of nuclear fusion energy is large enough, it is equivalent to the energy of a star, but this is not realistic. “

"We need new energy sources with moderate size and strong energy, and dark energy is indeed a very good alternative, but does this have anything to do with quantum?" Zero still hasn't figured out the relationship between dark energy and quantum.

"Do you know wireless charging technology?" asked Cheng Yuan rhetorically.

Zero raised his eyebrows: "You plan to connect dark energy to devices through quantization?"

There was almost no need for Cheng Yuan to explain in detail, Cheng Yuan just started the first zero and instantly thought of the relevant information, he frowned and thought: "This method is very feasible, but first we need a sufficient dark energy energy center." “

Regarding the use of dark energy energy, they have a very comprehensive technology in their hands, and the application of dark energy energy in the centaur galaxy civilization can be said to be the peak.

Cheng Yuan did not deny it, and said indifferently: "I plan to build a power supply plant on Mars that can directly provide global electricity, and use dark energy through quantum transmission and utilization through specific frequencies." “

Although Cheng Yuan said it easily, it is not simple to quantify dark energy, which belongs to a kind of 'vacuum energy' for contemporary people.

It is also very intuitive to explain, that is, we often call a vacuum, and scientists believe that this emptiness is also a substance, which should be filled by something.

What fills the vacuum area is what we call dark energy, this ubiquitous energy.

This is our explanation of dark energy, but this is not the case in the Centaur Galaxy, which believes that what we call dark energy is actually the first place in the periodic table.

However, unlike the element H that we have described, it is very different in terms of both its state of matter and its atomic properties.

The biggest feature is that dark energy is very easy to react with other substances to change its atomic structure.

Through the study of the centaur civilization, they found that dark energy will undergo a fusion reaction when it reacts with perseverance. When combined with other motes in the universe, it will produce solidified ice, and when it reacts with an asteroid, it will turn into a large number of impurities and combine to form stars.

Dark energy is very complex, it is changeable and stable, it can always maintain its purest nature until it comes into contact with other matter, and its own density is extremely high, it can be said to be the basis of the entire universe.

Dark energy carries everything in the entire universe, and it is closely related to all the matter in the universe.

But it is precisely this property of dark energy that makes it more difficult to quantize.

Fortunately, there is no need for Cheng Yuan to use the Brain Sutra in this regard, because they have ready-made ones that can be used only with a little improvement, which makes Cheng Yuan have to sigh at the power of the core of scientific and technological crystallization.

"Zero, you go to Mars to prepare first, and I'll go say hello to Xiaolian. “

......

Five days later, the capital of China.

In a well-guarded military base, two huge warships are docked in a huge square, and the battleships are as shocking as two giant beasts lurking on the ground.

On one side of the battleship, six ornately shaped guardians lined up in a line, and the immovable guardians were like statues, so that the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but glance sideways.

Compared to the huge warships, the gorgeous guardians make them even more excited.

"Hua Lao, Cheng Yuan delivered the things on time, we can start!" A military general looked at the battleship and the guardian with bright eyes, and rubbed his hands very unimaged.

Seeing this, Hua Lao couldn't help laughing, but he didn't mean to blame, although he also had an intelligent robot of considerable size, but after all, it was not as gorgeous and powerful as the guardian in front of him.

Because whether it is a battleship or a guardian in front of them, their power energy is nuclear fusion energy, not the 'backward' nuclear fission they use!

"Leave behind a battleship and a guardian, and you can sail the rest to Tokyo!" Hua Lao gave a short command, and then left with a happy heart.

At the end of October 2026, Huaxia officially announced the cleaning of Tokyo Smart Machinery!
