Chapter 596: Material Abyss Project
An hour passed, two hours passed...... This demented Thornhaman civilization did not move, just stayed quietly in its place.
It was the first time that people had come into contact with this somewhat strange fifth-level civilization, and although they were curious in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask more, just pondering the information they had just gotten for themselves.
Zhang Yuan frowned and pondered.
“…… Individuals of the fifth-level civilization can theoretically modify their thinking speed after modifying their philosophical thinking ability. This bug looks dumb, but it's not. It can think a thousand times faster than a human being and ten thousand times faster, so much so that it has to omit most facial expressions......"
"yes, what do you have to do with facial expressions when you are thinking so fast. The speed of speech and the tone of speech don't matter anymore. ”
Recalling the state of strong artificial intelligence he experienced when he first came into contact with the Hicks civilization, Zhang Yuan was slightly able to understand the situation.
In this large square, there are many transport ships coming and going, and there are many aliens. It seems that the gravity of the earth is 0.98 times, which is a gravitational environment adapted to by the public, and many aliens can survive normally in this environment. That's why this block market is placed in this place.
From the most prevalent metal, iron, to rare earth elements, to gold, platinum, and a variety of conventional nanomaterials. The basic unit of trade here is antimatter energy, or amoeba points.
Just like the stock market, the price indices of various commodities fluctuate back and forth around value, and if there is a sufficient level of speculation, speculation alone can make a certain profit.
Zhang Yuan obtained another piece of information, took a deep breath, and looked at it carefully.
The Dyson sphere is not just a place for trading, it's also a place for scientific research.
First of all, the first large-scale scientific project is a project called "Material Abyss", which is a scientific project initiated by the sixth-level civilizations "Amoeba Civilization" and "Tabi Civilization", which tries to explore the properties of all conventional materials in an exhaustive way, and the current progress of exploration is 50.7%......
There is a long list of members, the Crimson Industrial Union at the forefront, the Hicks civilization, and so on!
There are also some names that I haven't even seen before.
Zhang Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, the "Crimson Industrial Alliance" was the fifth-level civilization that destroyed the Green Star Civilization, and the ideology was relatively sharp, and it was actually able to work together......
This shows that the amoeba faction is indeed widely communicated and has extraordinary skills.
The most important thing is that the ambition of this "material abyss" project is really beyond human imagination, it tries to explore the physical, chemical, biological properties and so on of all conventional materials!
Everything, everything!
If all the elements are arranged in an exhaustive way, so that they form materials, including countless biological materials such as various proteins, the total number is about 10^120.
So, how many have new human civilizations explored?
It's about 10^70, and if you follow some algorithms and exclude a lot of useless materials, the process that humans can achieve is 10^80.
The rest can only rely on time to slowly accumulate, or rely on the improvement of computing power and algorithms......
You know, 10^80 is not half of 10^120!
There is a difference of 40 orders of magnitude, and even a fraction of a fraction has not been reached!
However, this so-called "material abyss" project has actually completed 50.7% of the process, which is definitely a remarkable, even shocking big thing!
Think about it, almost half of the material properties have been explored, how powerful is it to treat cancer, treat Alzheimer's disease, or rejuvenate people?
"We want to join in temporarily, get all the data, and we need to pay for it...... 1,102,200 amoeba points? Ahem......"
Zhang Yuan almost choked on his own saliva, "This is a huge amount of money that only a fifth-level or sixth-level civilization can afford, right?" ”
Yang Fan, the foreign minister next door, said: "However, we can submit materials that have not yet been explored in exchange for some of them." ”
"We can also use amoeba points to purchase some materials from the trading market. If you only buy one or two, it won't cost you. ”
"It's even possible to buy with a line of credit and then pay it back by producing a lot of material."
Everyone discussed for a while, and felt that the materials that humans had already explored, facing the half-completed "Material Abyss" plan, were at most just smashing into the air.
However, buying some new materials, especially various drugs, is a cheap and high-quality choice.
The discipline of materials will always be a laggard in engineering, and the demand for it by human beings is unlimited. This demand is infinite, it is infinite in the true sense of the word.
If materials that can resist 100 million degrees of high temperature can appear, and mankind can figure out controlled nuclear fusion technology in minutes, where will it take one or two hundred years to develop?
If there can be a material that is 100 million times stronger than steel, the space elevator can use a rigid body structure, where does it need to be so complicated?
As long as the material is strong enough, it is not easy to make a miracle vigorously?
However, the reality is that conventional materials have almost reached their limits, and it is extremely difficult to improve one step, which is a pity. A substance composed of chemical or metallic bonds alone will never be 100 million times stronger than steel.
So, how is the Dyson sphere built? The answer is: unconventional materials.
This document provides information about the Dyson sphere: the main material needed for the entire Dyson sphere is a substance called "Kadrin Nix".
Kadrin Nix is not a conventional material, but a subatomic fluid material between positive matter and antimatter, which can only be mass-produced by a Level 5 civilization.
It forms the framework of the Dyson sphere, which is equivalent to the existence of steel in a house. If we follow some of the current theories of the new human civilization, its principle may be the so-called "strong interaction".
It is precisely these super materials that make the rigid body structure of the entire Dyson sphere collapse directly without the action of gravity.
Of course, people are more interested in this kind of "unconventional material" that is still in a state of ignorance, but unfortunately, it is not something in the "material abyss" plan, and there is no way to obtain it cheaply. If you really want to buy, the price is also surprisingly high, starting at five or even six figures.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan stepped on the floor of the ground hard, under this layer of purple metal, it should be the so-called "Kadrin Nix", but unfortunately humans can't see what this thing looks like.
