Chapter 790: Gathering Star Core
Admiral Ma Shicong has been in a really good mood recently, because this time he got a treasure that can make him rise again, although he is the supreme leader of the Earth Federation's troops in Binot Mine, but even if his position is high, he can only live a hard life in this Binot Mine......
Of course, this so-called hard life is compared with other generals of the same level in the station, and for those soldiers who are fighting on the front line, they can still only be described by the word luxury......
Admiral Ma Shicong has always wanted to be transferred from this difficult environment of Binot Mine, but it is very difficult to climb to his position and want to be transferred, as for promotion? Not to mention it, now military merit has no meaning to him at all, and his promotion is no longer measured by military merit......
After countless operational activities, just when Admiral Ma Shicong thought that he was afraid that he would have to stay in this Binot Mine for a long time, a great credit fell into his hands......
That's right, that great credit is the thing that the Tiger Legion snatched back from Gabro's hands, this thing is of great significance to mankind, as long as this treasure is transported back to Earth, even if he can't climb one step further, it is still easy to transfer to a place with rich oil and water......
Thinking of that treasure, Ma Shicong's eyes couldn't help but glow, he opened the safe in his office and took out a brocade box that was not too big......
Gently opening the box, what caught my eye was a fiery red crystal the size of a baby's fist, since humans stepped into space and developed other planets, rubies of this size are not uncommon, but they are different from ordinary rubies. The fiery flames inside this crystal beat regularly like a heart......
"What a beautiful color...... Admiral Ma Shicong looked at the dancing flames. A trace of obsession flashed in his eyes, just such a small crystal. to change his life......
This crystal is not the first time that human beings have discovered this crystal, for this crystal, human scientists named the base of the star core, according to these scientists' speculation, only those planets that are about to reach the end of life will condense an unequal number of star cores......
And this Binot Mine Star is a planet that meets this condition, this Binot Mine Star was originally at the end of the road, after being discovered by humans that it contains a large number of minerals, not only did not find a way to save the planet, but was like a swarm of ants. pounced directly on this planet that had come to an end......
After the arrival of human beings, they began to mine the minerals of Binot Ore on a large scale, they didn't care how long the planet had life, they only cared about how many precious minerals they could mine......
Human scientists have long predicted that this planet may condense the condensed energy core, but even if they know, it is useless, because the area of this Binot star is too large, and God knows where the energy gathering star core will be?
It is even more impossible to turn over the entire Binot Planet, which is only one-third the size of the Earth. Finding a few crystals in such a vast area is countless times harder than finding a needle in a haystack......
Therefore, even if they knew that the Binnot Ore Star had the opportunity to condense this energy gathering core, the three planets would not be able to find it, and they could only hope that in the process of mining minerals. Discover this Gathering Star Core......
And the function of this concentrating star core is very simple, that is, it can provide endless energy, and this function seems to have little value. But the biggest obstacle for humans to step out of the solar system today is the problem of energy......
Now the human spaceship. The solid fuel used is from Jupiter, which provides a large amount of energy. But there will always be a time when the fuel runs out, and if a spaceship loses power in space, then it can only drift around in space......
This kind of drifting seems to be nothing, but no matter how large the spaceship is, its loading capacity is also very limited, if the drifting time is too long, and the materials in the spaceship are exhausted, then the people on the spaceship can only starve to death......
Now that human footsteps have spread all over the solar system, even the farthest Neptune, there are human activities there, and it seems that if you take one step further, you will only step out of the solar system......
However, this step has blocked mankind for hundreds of years, and the biggest reason is the energy problem, it is not difficult for the spacecraft to leave the solar system from Neptune, but after flying out of the solar system, if you do not grasp the amount of energy, once the energy is exhausted, the spacecraft will become floating garbage in space......
Over the years, there have been countless human ancestors who rushed out of the solar system for their ideals, some of them came back by luck, and some of them have never been heard from since......
According to the ancestors who were lucky enough to come back, after leaving the solar system, there will be a vacuum, where there is no planet, and the reason why they can come back by luck is only because of the precise control of the amount of energy, otherwise once they are lost in this vacuum belt, it is really not possible to call the heavens and the earth ineffective, and they can only wait there to die......
In fact, there is no way to solve this situation, that is, to build a space station in this vacuum zone, which was used by human beings when they first stepped out of the earth, and were limited by energy......
However, this method is not useful for stepping out of the solar system, mainly because it is too difficult to build a space station here......
And the root cause of this problem is still in the energy aspect, you must know that human resources are concentrated on the earth, Mars and Jupiter, if you want to build a space station, you must transport supplies from these three planets......
However, the distance between these three planets and Neptune is so far away that if a spaceship were to remove the energy used to travel back and forth, there would be very few materials that could transport it there......
In this way, if you want to build a space station, you don't know how much energy you have to consume, if it is really that simple, the biggest problem is that even if you build a space station, the purpose of the space station is very limited......
Since the fuel of human spacecraft is produced in Jupiter, and the same reason as transporting raw materials, after a spacecraft consumes a large amount of fuel, the amount of fuel that can be transported to the space station is not too much, so that if you want to accumulate a certain amount of fuel, you will have to consume ten or even twenty times the amount of fuel......
Although Jupiter is a planet composed of almost solid fuel, Jupiter's fuel is limited after all, and it can't withstand such consumption...... (To be continued.) )
