Chapter 414: Energy Changes the World (Part 1)
"How's it going?" Lao Wang asked.
He looked aroundβ
The Mind Scepter is placed on a set of delicate equipment, and all kinds of completely incomprehensible probes, rays, scanners, and spectrum analyzers are serving it, and the huge laboratory equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars is all at the service of it, just like a hundred strong men serving a petite and delicate girl.
Next to it is another set of equipment with a square groove waiting for something to be inserted.
Lao Wang raised his hand, and the Cosmic Cube flew in.
Perfectly fit, just right.
During the previous period, the Cosmic Cube had been studied by Tony and others here, and it would only be taken when needed.
"Uh...... Our research on the scepter of the mind has not yet begun...... The main thing is that it's too hard...... I don't have a clue yet. β
Fitz, who studied with top scientists and worked on the same page, said:
"It is not difficult to extract the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but the difficulty is to make a container that can hold higher energy, and then use this energy to the equipment needed to output stable power. Mr. Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. have done a lot of research on this, and we've designed a vessel that can output a lot of power - it's actually a variant of the Ark Reactor. β
Following his gaze, Lao Wang saw a square in another place.
It looks a lot like the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but instead of pure energy or crystals, it's a metal cube.
It is not a sealed whole, but a fine combination of many parts, through the gaps between the parts, you can see the blue light, which is the energy of the cosmic Rubik's Cube limited by a special force field.
There is no matter on Earth that can carry so much cosmic energy, and this is the only way.
A large amount of cosmic energy was extracted from the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and then injected into it, the blue light became brighter and brighter, but it was not too dazzling, there was a kind of cold mildness, like a deep and silent starry sky.
"It's made of pure vibranium. This cosmic energy is so advanced that it only takes a little bit to make the whole of New York use it for a day. Ordinary materials are not stable and safe enough, in case something goes wrong, so much energy leaks in an instant, and the resulting explosion is equivalent to a small nuclear bomb! β
Fitz's eyes lit up:
"It has a higher energy density than Mr. Stark's vibranium reactor. Don't look at it as big as a block, it can make the whole of New York last a year. It's really clean energy, and as you say, boss, it's unlimited energy! β
"Boss, we need vibranium now, a lot of vibranium! Without vibranium, there would be no way to do further experiments, no way to make more containers. The Divine Stick needs energy, the Zetari ship needs energy, and both the Individual Combat Aircraft and the Iron Soldier need it! β
Lao Wang rubbed his temples and had a headache.
Vibranium β
Is it that easy to find?
Yes, it's in Wakanda, and the total amount is 10,000 tons.
But the problem is that people are not short of money, and they don't sell it at all, after all, vibranium is the foundation of the country, and the energy supply and scientific and technological development of the whole country are based on vibranium, how can it be sold in large quantities?
For tens of thousands of years,
Vibranium is constantly flowing out of Wakanda, but in fact, it is not much, at most 1 ton.
These vibraniums have been concentrated in the hands of governments and capitalists in various countries, such as the United States and Stark Industries.
In almost three years, Lao Wang has gotten all the vibranium that can be found on the market to the Azeroth laboratory through various channels, adding up to less than 100kg, and this number has far exceeded that of any country, even more than Stark Industries.
Want more vibranium?
It's too difficult.
"Can't you replace it with another material?" Lao Wang couldn't help but ask.
"Uh...... Theoretically, yes. β
Fitz gestured and explained: "The material of the container determines how much energy and how much energy density can be contained. Energy is like air, the higher the compression, the higher the requirements for the container. If you use a precision-made ordinary alloy, it will work, but the stored energy is very small...... It's about 1/10,000th of a vibranium container. β
One in 10,000?
In fact, it's not small, okay, at least hundreds of times that of lithium batteries...... Lao Wang is not good at math and can't figure it out.
But that doesn't prevent him from making judgments.
"If you make a container out of ordinary alloy, how much will it cost to make it so big? How far can a car go? He asked, pointing to the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
"Uh...... This needs to be calculated in detail. β
Feeling Lao Wang's expectant eyes, Fitz hurriedly calculated.
It took him 10 seconds before he figured out the answer: "$1,000 is enough, it's okay to drive 10,000 kilometers, of course, it depends on what kind of car it is and what speed requirements it has." If you want Director Fury's kind of flying, several tons, at most a thousand kilometers. β
Lao Wang touched his chin.
It's already very good, I don't know how much more efficient than gasoline.
In this way, it is possible to enter the clean energy industry in a big way.
Energy is the heart of industry and the blood of civilization.
The development of energy will comprehensively promote the development of all industries and entire civilizations, and once oil, natural gas and coal are replaced, the problem of air pollution can be solved at the root, so that nature will become more vibrant and the earth will become healthier.
The healthier the earth, the more feedback he can get, and the stronger his strength will be.
"What if you use the metal from the Azeroth series?"
Lao Wang continued to ask: "If I remember correctly, whether it is Mithril, Adamantite Gold or other metals, they are much stronger than ordinary metals and ordinary alloys in terms of carrying energy and guiding energy?" β
"Uh...... Actually, we're already thinking about it. β
Fitz said: "The most suitable is vibranium, not Erdman. If you compare ordinary alloy containers to paper tubes, Mithril and Adamantite Gold containers are wooden barrels, and Thorsilver and Auguin containers are iron barrels. In addition, we specifically tested essentia iron, and the effect was not as good as vibranium. β
Is that so...... Lao Wang understood.
He thought about it for a moment and made a decision: "I need different models to study and manufacture containers of different materials, from ordinary alloy with the smallest capacity to vibranium with the largest capacity. Also, be sure to pay attention to safety. β
Containers made of ordinary alloys, the price is not high, and they can be used for ordinary people, mainly used in automobiles, electric vehicles, household energy, etc.
For industries that consume a lot of energy, such as airplanes and ships, containers doped with mythril and pure gold can be used.
Azeroth's Iron Soldiers, large cruise ships, military ships, large fighter jets, space stations, spaceships, etc., use better containers of Thorsilver and Augin, or containers doped with vibranium and essentia iron.
As for the 100-meter and kilometer-meter spacecraft, the helicarrier, etc., which consume the most energy, I am afraid that only pure essentia iron and pure vibranium containers can be used.
Other than that
The container itself can be reused, you only need to build energy centers around the world, place large containers, and charge them with the Cosmic Cube every once in a while, according to the output power of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, it is no problem to charge for five minutes for a year.
In this way, a single cosmic Rubik's cube can increase the energy consumption of the entire earth many times, and some industries that are limited due to limited energy can also develop rapidly, and the process of human civilization will also be accelerated.
"It seems that it is necessary to set up a new company...... Let's call it 'Azeroth Infinite Energy Limited'! Wang snapped his fingers.
Arms companies are very profitable,
Virtual technology is quite lucrative,
However, the former has a limited market, and the latter is also very limited, and less than one-tenth of the world's people use virtual technology.
Energy is different.
Everyone has to use it, every day, and how big this market is, just look at the top companies in the world.
Many of the companies with the highest profits and sales are XX petroleum, XX petrochemicals, and XX natural gas, and you can imagine how big the world's energy market is.
An ordinary person probably has no access to arms in his life, and only changes to a mobile phone in a few years.
And he consumes energy every day, how much does a person need to spend on photovoltaics every year, not to mention the cost of oil and gas?
And for Lao Wang, only investment in basic equipment is needed, energy or something, and there is no investment at all.
Of course, we still have to communicate with governments in this regard, after all, it is an absolute monopoly, and the change of energy mode is more thorough and far-reaching than any computer revolution or artificial intelligence, and the government cannot ignore it.
"Uh...... Boss, you may have overlooked an important point. β
Fitz reminded in a low voice: "The output power of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is limited, and it is impossible to supply the whole world. We calculated that it could not even make human civilization reach the level 1 civilization of Karshev, at most...... 0.81 level. β
