Chapter 463: Why the Energy Problem Must Be Solved

Chen Mo saw that Anne was shocked, so he smiled at the moment and changed the topic: "Miss Anne, do you still have a magnetic cannon on your spaceship?" I'd like to look into it. ”

Anne nodded: "There are also two intact magnetic cannons on the mother ship, but there is no energy spar to provide energy, so they cannot be used, if you want to study it, you can transport the mother ship back to Earth in the future." ”

Chen Mo nodded, he thought in his heart: if the magnetic force is strong enough, a magnetic field will be generated, and once the magnetic field is strong enough, it will be able to absorb all the ray energy like a black hole, and if this ray energy can be turned into usable energy, then the energy supply problem can be completely solved.

Some people may think it is strange, there are so many energy sources in the universe, why do other civilizations and races not use alternative energy sources, but must use energy crystals?

Of course, there is a reason for this, once any civilized race enters the interstellar age, then the demand for energy will increase dramatically, and ordinary energy substances simply cannot withstand this drastic increase in consumption.

Take nuclear energy as an example, nuclear energy can produce extremely terrifying energy through nuclear fission, but this terrifying energy is only relative, maybe when it has not entered the interstellar age, nuclear energy can still be used as a universal energy source, once it enters the interstellar age, then nuclear energy is far from enough.

For example, the energy required to perform a space jump is terrifying, and if it is converted to nuclear energy, a close-range space jump will consume tens of thousands of tons of nuclear energy! Who can afford this kind of consumption? Nuclear matter is not infinite, how much time do you have to spend collecting nuclear material to withstand this rate of consumption?

Furthermore, the spacecraft is not infinite, so if you use nuclear energy as an energy supply, how much space do you have to spend to store nuclear fuel? If a spaceship is loaded with nuclear fuel that takes up too much space, what is the difference between a spaceship and a cargo ship?

In addition, the ultimate weapons in the hands of various civilizations and races are large energy consumers, out of consideration of combat effectiveness. The ultimate weapon is, of course, the more powerful the better, just one launch, it needs to consume thousands of tons of nuclear material, if a warship uses nuclear material as an energy supply, you must first equip it with a huge fuel storage room, otherwise a few activations of the weapon system will consume all the energy. What else can you do but wait to die?

Nuclear matter is a very powerful energy substance discovered by human beings so far, but even so, it can only be used as a small-scale energy solution in the interstellar era, such as Chen Mo, using them for interstellar mining ships, and it is okay to sail at close range, but it is not possible to travel too far.

In addition to nuclear energy, there is also stellar energy, but stellar energy can only be used as a fixed energy source. Because even if the technology is as advanced as the Ives, they have not developed the technology to carry a star with them as an energy supply, the size and mass of the star are so large, and the high temperature and heat emitted can melt almost everything, how can you take it with you? If you can't take it with you, how can you go somewhere else to do anything else?

Besides, if you really have this kind of technology, do you still need to use stars for energy? It really depends on who doesn't like the eye. Just throw a star into someone's base camp, won't all the problems be solved? Do you still need to send a space battleship to fight the enemy to the death?

At present, all the civilizations in the galaxy that have entered the interstellar age use energy crystals as energy supplies. The energy spar is small in size, very lightweight, easy to carry, and the energy stored inside it is very large, even if it is used up, it can be automatically recharged at home. There is no need to think about energy harvesting at all, who doesn't love such a good energy solution?

The only downside is that the Power Hedron can only absorb the energy emitted from the core of the Milky Way, and the time it takes for an Energy Hedron to recharge with energy varies depending on the distance from the core of the Milky Way.

For example, the Archon family in the first dimension only takes a few years to fill a single power hedron. But the Rossi people in the ninth dimension take more than ten times as long. It is precisely because of this constraint that the Archon family has been able to dominate the galaxy for so long, and other civilized races cannot fight against it at all, even if they develop a powerful weapon? A war of attrition with you can consume you to death.

Chen Mo didn't want to be constrained because of the energy problem, and he had already had his own ideas about it. Based on Blackie's characteristics, he came up with the idea of using rays as an energy energy solution. There are all kinds of rays everywhere in the universe, which can be said to be inexhaustible, as long as there is a way to absorb the energy of rays and convert it into energy that can be used by itself, it can solve the terrifying demand for energy in the interstellar age.

However, this plan faces a big problem, first of all, how to gather the ray energy, if this problem is not solved, all the subsequent problems are in the air.

Hearing Anne say the magnetic cannon, Chen Mo felt that this might be an opportunity to solve the problem. The magnetic cannon can generate a strong magnetic force, as long as the magnetic force is increased to the point where it can absorb cosmic rays, then the first problem is solved, and there is hope for the follow-up problems.

Anne didn't know the energy solution that Chen Mo thought of, and when she saw that Chen Mo didn't speak, she couldn't help but speak: "Since Mr. Pitt is not a Westerner, presumably the name Pitt is also fake, right?" ”

Chen Mo came back to his senses at this time, he nodded and said: "Pete's name and identity are just my disguise, my real name is Chen Mo, and I am from China." ”

Anne's beautiful eyes wandered, and she said: "It turned out to be Chinese, in fact, the Chinese are also very good, but due to ideological constraints, the whole nation seems to lack a little competitiveness." ”

Chen Mo nodded and said: "Yes, Huaguo is a country of etiquette, pays attention to Confucian culture, will not take the initiative to attack others, and is a little conservative in thinking, unlike Westerners, who are accompanied by the history of their civilization is a history of blood and tears of aggression and war, compared with Chinese people, they are indeed more competitive." ”

Xiao Hei interjected: "I think so too, for example, Boss, I think your heart is too kind, and you lack the necessary decisiveness to kill, if it were me, I am afraid that I would have ruled the earth with iron and blood for a long time, and then unite the power of all mankind to help me realize my dreams, where is it like now?" Obviously has absolute strength, but he wants to hide it and make it look like an underground organization, don't you think it's stupid and boring, boss? (To be continued......)
