Chapter 497: The Value of Energy

The first batch of pure wind attribute spirit stones was quickly produced, and the number was not much, only dozens the size of a palm, but the significance was very significant, and several people even hugged their heads and cried excitedly.

"With these spirit stones, Xiao Yu and they will be saved." Linglong wiped her tears and said, the melancholy that had been squeezed in her heart for many days was swept away, and she was really much more relaxed.

Mu Chen smiled: "The output is still a little small, but I believe that it will gradually increase in the future, so that you Wind Spirit Clan can basically keep it." ”

Academician Hu and the others were also full of joy, after such a long time of hard work, the experiment was finally successful, and finally lived up to expectations.

"Mr. Chief, the wind attribute spirit stone has been conquered by us, and we plan to study the spirit stones of other attributes, maybe it won't be long before we can make some progress." Academician Hu said with a smile.

This is a good plan, if you can mass-produce spirit stones of all attributes, then the produced spirit stones will definitely become a necessity for the elemental people, and it will also be a hard currency product of the Andromeda Galaxy.

Don't underestimate the value of these spirit stones, although the Earth Federation has not yet found a way to use spiritual power, this is a new energy after all, and it may become an alternative energy source to nuclear energy in the future.

If you think about it, you can understand that the spiritual power contained in these spirit stones can provide energy for the elemental people, and naturally it can also provide energy for mechanical instruments, and the spirit stone is a kind of renewable energy, and the raw material K material for its production is widely found in the Andromeda Galaxy, which is almost inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

Once the use of this spiritual power can be thoroughly mastered in the future, it may greatly change the existing energy utilization tradition of the Earth Federation, from nuclear power to elemental power.

Mu Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Can we use elemental power to replace the nuclear power that the Earth Federation is currently using?" ”

Academician Hu and the others keenly grasped Mu Chen's thoughts, and sincerely admired in their hearts, although Lord Death was a layman among laymen in this field, his ideas were very advanced, and in just a few days, he began to ponder whether he could use this new type of energy.

"It's hard to say this, although the energy contained in the spirit stone is very powerful, but the continuity doesn't seem to be too good, the decay period is very short, maybe the use value is not too high." Academician Hu hesitated and said.

The instability of the element completes the release of energy, and the decay period refers to the length of time that the element can release energy, and the longer the decay period, the more energy can be produced.

Mu Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful, he thought that he could find a new alternative energy source, but he didn't expect to be happy.

"Don't be upset, Mr. Chief, all of this will need to be known after further research and experiments, this is just my personal speculation." Academician Hu explained with a smile.

Mu Chen smiled faintly: "Then I won't get the axe, professional things are still left to professional people to do, in short, try to explore the value of K matter, maybe this will be another energy revolution." ”

"Don't worry, my colleagues are also very interested in this new element, and they will not relax their research on it."

Mu Chen's original intention is exactly this, energy is an important part of promoting human development, even if it is just a little possibility, it cannot be missed because it is too important.

In terms of the development process of mankind, the first industrial revolution was a technological revolution initiated by the United Kingdom. The revolution began with the birth of the working machine, marked by the widespread use of the steam engine as a power engine, and the production of large machines began to replace the factory handicraft industry, and the productivity developed by leaps and bounds, creating an era of replacing manual labor with machines, and also establishing the hegemony of European countries led by Britain.

The second industrial revolution is dominated by electricity, symbolizing the entry into the electric age, which has greatly promoted the development of social productive forces and affected human life from all aspects.

The Third Industrial Revolution is dominated by atomic energy and electronic computers.

The focus is on the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is an industrial revolution with artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, quantum information technology, controlled nuclear fusion, clean energy, and biotechnology.

Among them, controllable nuclear fusion technology and quantum communication technology have played a fundamental role in the opening of interstellar exploration by earthlings.

If there is no controlled nuclear fusion, perhaps the current earthlings are still trapped in the cage of the earth, and it is wishful thinking to get out of the solar system.

To sum up, every progress in the development and utilization of energy is an opportunity to promote the progress of human civilization, so no matter at any time, those in power attach great importance to energy, whether it is conventional energy or new energy, even if it is a theoretical new energy, they will not ignore their importance.

The same is true for Mu Chen, the stones of other mountains can attack jade, and the spirit stones may only be food or rations for Linglong, just like air and water, which are usually visible at hand, but once they disappear, it will be a fatal event.

But it does not prevent the earthlings from studying its other functions, in case the energy in the spirit stone can really be used, it will definitely bring extremely considerable benefits.

The same is true of the planetary kinetic energy extraction technology that Mu Chen got from the Dumats, it may not seem to have much significance on the surface, it is time-consuming and laborious to build, not to mention, it is not necessarily much better than nuclear fusion, but there are and there are two concepts.

Just like solar energy, everyone knows that this thing is clean and pollution-free, but the input is too large, the output is not high, and it is an energy source with a low return ratio, but countries are still trying to use it, doesn't it explain the problem?

Even if the elemental energy is still not widely used in the final research, it can at least provide some research ideas for the earthlings, and maybe it can be used in other fields.

Mu Chen's idea was recognized by a group of experts, but in fact, there was no need for him to remind him that none of these experts was a leader in the scientific community, how could he not attach importance to this new substance? As long as you can study some ways from it, you can easily get the Nobel Prize that year, and a scientist has to be greedy for it.

Mu Chen held his chin and watched this group of experts devote themselves to intense research work again, and couldn't help but think seriously:

The current Earth Federation is barely at the forefront of the civilizations in the universe in terms of scientific and technological level, although it is not as good as the inexhaustible Dumats, but there are not many civilized races that can be compared.

And the great strength of the Earth Federation is completely based on science and technology, and it has almost nothing to do with the physical fitness of human beings themselves.

If you compare the angel clan with the human race, in terms of physical fitness, the earthlings are 100% the existence of younger brothers, and without the protection of advanced equipment, the earthlings may not even have the qualifications to fight back in front of the birdmen, which shows how lucky the strength of the Earth Federation is.

There is a very serious problem in this, once the scientific and technological level of the Earth Federation is overtaken by other civilized races, then the current status will definitely be ceded, and there is no room for redemption at all.

Especially in the military field, the current battle no longer depends on the bravery of individuals, and the strength of the warship's weapons, defense capabilities, and the accuracy of battlefield information are the decisive factors in interstellar warfare.

This means that any alien race, as long as they are given powerful weapons and warships, it is very likely to catch up with the current status of the Earth Federation.

"Well, we still have to increase support for scientific and technological research, otherwise the current prosperity is just a flash in the pan." Mu Chen thought seriously.

"Mr. Mu Chen, are you too pessimistic? In my opinion, the Earth Federation is strong enough, and even the Angel Clan is no match for you. Linglong said with a smile.

"Hehe, maybe......" Mu Chen said noncommittally.

These thoughts cannot be communicated with the elemental people who are innocent in nature, and even if they do, they may not be able to understand it, after all, this ancient race has hardly changed for millions of years, and their strong personal strength makes it impossible for them to experience the pressure that exists in human beings.

Mu Chen looked at Linglong, who was suspended in mid-air like a ghost, and couldn't help but pout in his heart:

Anyway, no matter what kind of human beings evolve into, they must not be pure energy creatures like the elemental race, their lives are tasteless, Mu Chen feels that if he is an elemental person, I am afraid that he will not be able to live a day......
