"Well, anyway, the automation system is still working out. Let's go and see the automation system you've built. Yang Chen took a deep breath, collected his mood, and turned to Hou Xunan excitedly.

At this time, Mu Qingsi was also woken up and walked over: "Yang Chen, what happened?"

"It's nothing, it just so happens that our technology has made a breakthrough, let's go and see it together, and let you know that our advanced technology and professional level!" Yang Chen invited.

Mu Qingsi couldn't ask for it, and nodded again and again: "Okay, then let's go and have a look." ”

It was Hou Xunan next to him, who wanted to speak and stopped, and smiled bitterly in his heart: What about advanced technology, what kind of advanced technology is an idea? Even if it is outdated tube technology, he can play tricks at hand.

The three of them went to Hou Xunan's research institute in this way.

Opening the thick door, Mu Qingsi saw a steel structure with high beams, and the general structure was similar to that of an ordinary factory.

From the outside, this building looks like a two-story building, but in fact it is technically just over one floor. Probably to make as much space as possible for the hall on the first floor, the second floor is just an area embedded in the first floor, not even a tenth of the size of the hall, at most about 20 square meters, it looks like a small space hanging from the beams of the hall.

This is Hou Xunan's living room. But Hou Xunan, who forgot to sleep and eat, was obsessed with research and rarely used it, all of which were directly in the hall on the first floor, and when he was tired of research, he would find a random place on the first floor to fall asleep, and he could continue his research immediately when he woke up.

The entire hall is divided by a transparent glass wall. Entering the door is a horizontal hallway, with a set of sofas in the corner of the hallway.

The hallway is about three meters wide, and after passing it, you are faced by a row of rooms separated by clear glass walls. The rooms vary in size, with the room in the middle being the largest. Several of the rooms looked a little messy, filled with all kinds of instruments, utensils, materials, etc.

Through the glass wall, Mu Qingsi clearly saw that in the middle of the room in the middle, there was a rectangular instrument, which looked a bit like a square cannon. It is also clearly visible in the square casing, a barrel-like core component. The exterior of the instrument is sparkling and exquisite, and it is clear that it has been carefully cared for.

"What's that?" Mu Qingsi felt a little familiar, and saw a little shadow of the reconstructive nano-ceramic production equipment in the factory outside on this instrument.

Hou Xunan opened the glass sliding door of the room, walked in with the two of them, pointed to the instrument and said in a proud tone: "This is the second-generation energy particle collider, that is, the core component of the nano-ceramic production equipment. The previous one was too rough, but now this one has been optimized by me, with a maximum power increase of 12.5 percentage points, a maximum consumption reduction of 3.2 percentage points, a one-third reduction in volume, and an increase in accuracy of 0.3 thousandths. ”

Yang Chen nodded, this improvement is already good. At least in the case of small energy particle colliders, it's quite high. Of course, there is no comparison with the large ones, but the large energy particle colliders are not yet available for research, and it would be nice to have small ones.

Mu Qingsi looked at the collider and suddenly remembered something: "Wait, you're talking about the collider, just like the particle collider commonly used in theoretical physics?"

"That's right. Yang Chen affirmed his answer.

"Isn't the particle collider very large?" Mu Qingsi's eyes sparkled, and he asked: "I remember that the large hadron collider in Europe is 27 kilometers long, is it too small for you?"

She almost didn't say if you were lying to me?

The huge particle collider, no matter how small, is not just that small, it is no more than three meters long, and the diameter is only one meter.

Yang Chen said as a matter of course: "You're right, we are a small energy particle collider. Also, don't use the traditional particle collider to measure the energy particle collider, our machine has two more words, and that's something else. ”

Mu Qingsi carefully looked at the energy particle collider, thoughtful: "I think that you are not an energy particle collider, it looks a bit like an electromagnetic cannon or a laser cannon." ”

Yang Chen smiled: "You're right, in a sense, we can also use this as an energy particle cannon." The energy particles it emits can not only be used to collide to produce nano-ceramics, but can also be used to kill! Of course, we are researchers, not an army, and it is a big waste to use this thing to kill and injure. ”

"So what about lethality?" But as a soldier, Mu Qingsi is interested in lethality.

"The best alloy steel in the world can also be easily pierced. ”

"What about the range, what about the rate of fire, and will it be affected by the dust and smoke in the air, like a laser cannon?"

Yang Chen shook his head: "Don't think about it, the current energy particle collider has a range of no more than ten meters. The rate of fire is the speed of light. It is also not affected by dust and smoke in the air like laser cannons. ”

Hearing that the firing range was only ten meters, Mu Qingsi was a little discouraged.

What can a 10-meter range be used for?

But Yang Chen's subsequent words gave her hope: "But we can study further." According to the Energy Particle Theory, the range of the Energy Particle Collider can be increased. ”

Yang Chen said, he could tempt: "Major Mu, do you want to cooperate in the research of the Energy Particle Cannon?" According to the theory, its range can theoretically reach infinity!"

Yang Chen really didn't lie. This thing can be perfected to increase its power, and it can be used as the main gun of a starship.

Even, he now has in his hands the particle equation and particle matrix to increase the range of energy particles.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't say it.

Mastering technology with the potential to kill a big killer is a different thing from mastering a big kill technology.

The former is a civilian technology that can be converted into military use, and the state will attach great importance to it, but that's it. The latter, however, is a direct manufacture of weapons, and the State cannot allow private ownership.

It's like the difference between the seamless steel tube technology that can be used to make the barrel and the technology that makes the cannon in-house.

The reason why Mu Qingsi knew was also to prevent her from treating the Energy Particle Collider as a weapon-level technology.

Just like before bows, arrows, and firearms, slingshots were also very dangerous weapons of destruction. But with bows and arrows and firearms, slingshots became toys.

The proposed joint research between the two sides is also to let the country have some understanding of this, so as not to be caught off guard after the eruption of geomagnetic core energy.

"Is this your technological breakthrough?" Mu Qingsi looked at the Energy Particle Collider with burning eyes, although she knew that this thing could not be weaponized, but after all, it had the potential to be weaponized, and she still valued it very much.

Hou Xunan shook his head and said, "Of course not, our technological breakthrough is this." ”

As he spoke, he took out a glass tube from a nearby toolbox.

Mu Qingsi recognized it at a glance, it was clearly an electron tube.

She couldn't help but open her mouth wide: You took out a tube and told me that it was a technological breakthrough, are you kidding me?

"Now, it can successfully operate normally in the energy particle rage environment of the Energy Particle Collider!" Hou Xunan proudly raised his thumb-sized tube.

Only he and Yang Chen knew how difficult it was to do this, so his pride was understandable.

Of course, Mu Qingsi just didn't understand: "Wait, your technological breakthrough is the electron tube? This thing has been eliminated decades ago, okay?"

"No, it's not an ordinary tube. Yang Chen took the electron tube in Hou Xunan's hand and looked carefully at the light: "This is a super electron tube!"

The light refracted by the electron tube was projected in his eyes, which was extremely colorful, like a wonderful dream.

"Isn't a super electron tube still an electron tube? Is this thing not as good as a large-scale integrated circuit at all? Don't you follow the wrong path of the former Soviet Union. Mu Qingsi obviously also knew about the electronics industry in the former Soviet Union.

"Then you'd be wrong. Yang Chen handed the electron tube to Mu Qingsi: "You can try to destroy it." ”

Try to destroy? Do you still need to try this thing? If you pinch it, it will break, right?

Mu Qingsi took the electron tube indifferently, and was about to pinch it hard, thinking about it, worried that the broken glass fragments of the electron tube would hurt his fingers, so he put the electron tube on a platform in the laboratory, found a piece of metal, and smashed it hard.

Hearing only the sound of the touch, Mu Qingsi was stunned: the electron tube was actually intact.

Mu Qingsi didn't believe in this evil anymore, and thought of many ways, whether it was smashing, falling, pressing, etc., but he couldn't help this small, fragile looking electron tube, so he had no choice but to give up.

"I'm right, right? This is not an ordinary tube, it is doped with some nano ceramics!" Yang Chen took the tube from her hand and handed it to Hou Xunan: "Try the performance." ”

"It's just an electron tube worth a few cents at most, and you actually dope it with nano ceramics, it's too extravagant, right?" Mu Qingsi's eyes widened.

Hou Xunan nodded, turned on the energy particle collider, put the electron tube in, and also put a few pieces of glass in it, then closed it, put his hand on the energy particle collider, and took out a piece of yellow paper from a box next to him.

Mu Qingsi saw that it was a thing full of strange and profound lines, and couldn't help asking, "What is that?"

"A particle equation that can amplify the mental fluctuations of the human body and thus produce mental forces. Yang Chen replied: "To put it bluntly, it is a Dao talisman that can allow ordinary people to emit spiritual power!"

This is something that Yang Chen specially prepared for Hou Xunan. In the case that Hou Xunan is not yet a monk, if he wants to engage in the research of the Energy Particle Collider, he must have this thing, otherwise he will not be able to start the Energy Particle Collider at all.

"What's the use?"

"What's the use, you just need to know that he can activate the Energy Particle Collider. ”

When Yang Chen explained, Hou Xunan had already torn open this Dao talisman and activated the Energy Particle Collider.
