"Let's go. Check out the professor's research progress. Admiral Rhodes beckoned, and then turned and flew in the direction of the Moore Mines to the south.

The distance of three hundred kilometers, for Fang Yuan, if he was going at full speed, it would actually only take a second.

Of course, it doesn't go that high on a normal day.

Moore Mining Area, Laboratory of Planetary Beasts, Academy of Materials Sciences.

Fang Yuan and Admiral Rhodes came over together to visit Yang Yuping, who was concentrating on research.

At present, Yang Yuping is improving the manufacturing technology of strong interaction materials.

As early as half a year ago, it was already possible to manufacture materials with strong interaction forces in the laboratory.

The success of that experiment has excited all the researchers in the School of Materials Science until now.

However, although the experiment was successful, it does not mean that the materials with strong interaction force can be mass-produced.

Because the energy level required to make strong nuclear force materials is very high, only the energy released by the Star Source Mine can meet the requirements of the current power mastered by human beings.

Therefore, the Academy of Materials Sciences gave a report.

If humans want to mass-produce materials with strong interaction forces on a small scale, then at least 100 Namba star source veins are needed.

It was precisely because of this report that the Tokai Headquarters began to advance the plan to counterattack the Star Beast World.

The experiment and mass production of materials with strong interaction force require a large number of star source ores, and the output of the earth's star source ores alone is not even a fraction.

Now, humans have occupied the two mining areas of the beast planet, and the amount of star source ore has multiplied exponentially.

It's just that only Yang Yuping knows whether it is enough or not.

The experiment of the strong interaction force material was closed, and Admiral Fang Yuan and Admiral Rhodes did not bother with the experiment.

It wasn't until noon, when Yang Yuping had a lunch break, that the two went to visit him.

"Why did you come together? Is there something wrong? ”

As soon as Yang Yuping saw the two of them appear together, he knew that there should be something serious.

"There is indeed something, and it is related to the direction of the war between humans and star beasts." Admiral Rhodes replied with a bow.

"Isn't it possible to solve the problem of attacking across the Deep Wind Rift?" Yang Yuping thought about it for a moment and guessed this possibility.

This is indeed a difficult problem, but it is not the main reason why Admiral Rhodes came over this time, and this problem should not come to Yang Yuping.

Admiral Rhodes shook his head and said: "Not all, the question that is being discussed in various countries now is whether to fight or not."

"Except for us, all other countries feel that after occupying the two mining areas is enough, the amount of Xingyuan Ore is enough.

"Therefore, I came here to ask about the progress of the laboratory, whether the mining volume of the two mining areas is enough to support the small-scale mass production of materials with strong interaction force."

Yang Yuping didn't think about it, and blurted out: "How can it be, the report I handed over to the Academy of Military Sciences half a year ago made it very clear that we are now at the 1.0 civilization level, manufacturing 1.9 scientific and technological materials."

"It's not a matter of twice the level of civilization, it's the difference in energy between planets and stars.

"The amount of Xingyuan ore mined in the two mining areas is only enough for the small-scale mass production of solar furnaces, and it is not enough for the structural upgrade of space warships.

"Look at the Palese civilization's flying machine, the shell is completely made of strong nuclear force materials, and this is just a small flying machine in the Palese civilization.

"Think about it, what will the space battleship of the Palasse civilization look like?

"I feel that two mining areas are satisfied, that is short-sighted!" Sissy

Yang Yuping's tone was a little excited.

Because he knows very well what the research of materials with strong interaction forces has reached.

Only he knows best what kind of technological door human beings have touched.

Materials technology is the foundation of all other technologies.

Breakthroughs in material science and technology will help countless technologies to progress by leaps and bounds.

It can be said that the strong interaction force materials have allowed human beings to touch the road to the 1.9 civilization technology.

This is a scientific and technological progress that would normally take at least 2,000 years for human civilization to complete.

After a moment of silence, Admiral Rhodes asked, "Is there a way to reduce the consumption of Star Source Ore in the manufacturing process of strong nuclear force materials?" ”

Yang Yuping replied: "We have been thinking about this question and have been doing research in this area.

"I know that the process of moving from a laboratory product to mass production is a process of reducing costs.

"It's just that you still don't expect to reduce the consumption of Star Source Ore by much, even if you can reduce it by 30%, the consumption is still astronomical."

Fang Yuan continued: "According to the current situation, if you want to mass-produce materials with strong interaction forces on a small scale, how many mining areas do you need to occupy? ”

Yang Yuping took out a map from the computer and said, "Actually, we have already calculated this." At the current pace, it is necessary to occupy at least three-quarters of the mining areas in the northern hemisphere of the beast planet to barely meet the requirements. ”

Admiral Rhodes and Fang Yuan swallowed at the same time when they heard this answer.

This requirement is actually no different from the destruction of the Star Beast civilization.

"It means that it is still the Star Destroying Beast Civilization." Admiral Rhodes sighed.

Yang Yuping shook his head and smiled, and said, "From the perspective of cosmic sociology, the problem is actually much simpler.

"This is the process by which one civilization swallows up another civilization and achieves civilization upgrading.

"How can human civilization want to soar from level 1.0 to level 1.9 without annexing another planetary civilization?

"If it weren't for humanity entering the Big Bang of technology, it would not be enough to annex a planetary civilization."

After the idea jumps out, it is indeed much easier to see the problem.

If you think about it, you can understand that if a civilization wants to upgrade quickly, the fastest way is naturally to annex another civilization and digest that civilization's resources and technology.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, a level 1.0 civilization will not be able to upgrade to level 1.9 if it annexes another civilization of the same level.

Therefore, from the perspective of civilization, if human beings want to master the 1.9-level super-era technology, they need to swallow all the resources of another civilization, and the requirements are not exaggerated at all.

It's just that to really achieve this goal, it is not something that can be achieved in a few words.

Fang Yuan thought about it and nodded slowly, and asked, "Professor, is it possible to transform the experimental results into combat effectiveness before the next battle begins?" ”

Yang Yuping smiled on his face and said, "This question is very nutritious. ”

Transforming science and technology into combat effectiveness is the greatest help that science and technology can help in warfare.

"So, there's really a way?" Fang Yuan and Admiral Rhodes' eyes lit up at the same time.

"Whether it can be transformed into combat effectiveness or not is not up to me alone. However, Professor Wang Jiuliang and I spoke on the phone, and according to the current progress, we can fill as many space battleships as the country can produce, and we can fill as many space battleships as we can. Yang Yuping gave a very vivid answer.

When Admiral Rhodes heard this answer, his breathing became heavier.
