Chapter 52: Dreamland: Level 4 Civilization

Due to time constraints, Du Qiu did not continue to study the microscopic image of the crystal substance, but continued to study the previous purification and synthesis procedures.

During this time, Duqiu has documented hundreds of new materials, including catalysts and molecular interchangeables needed in their production processes.

In real-world experiments, 26 catalysts and 19 molecular interchangeables have been configured.

With these, as long as Du Qiu imitates the primary and intermediate purification procedures of the super machine, as well as the synthesis program, then some new materials can be produced using the technology in the dream world.

Du Qiu didn't think about using some traditional methods on Bluestar to purify or synthesize new materials, but after simulation and derivation, he found that the cost remained high.

This means that no matter how good a new material is, it cannot really have a market prospect because it cannot be produced on a large scale.

For example, the popular graphene materials on Bluestar can be prepared in the laboratory, but large-scale production faces various problems.

Even if it is carbon fiber that has been produced on a large scale, the production cost is actually too high, so that its use is still focused on the aerospace market.

At present, many car manufacturers want to use carbon fiber, the key is to reduce its production costs, at least to the same price as steel and aluminum used in automobiles.

Otherwise, expensive carbon fiber will only be used to produce luxury cars and supercars.

Similarly, in the manufacturing industry of the Tang Kingdom, if there are low-cost and high-quality high-performance materials, many things will not have the problem of being stuck in the neck.

The Tang people have developed modern science and technology in a much shorter time than the West, and although it has now become the only country in the world with the most complete industrial categories, its foundation is still very weak.

Whether it is various engines and compressors in the civilian industry, or aero engines and gas turbines in the military industry, Tang Guo has only solved a problem from scratch.

In terms of performance, Tangguo's products are far worse than similar foreign products.

For example, the domestic turbofan 10 engine used by the main fighter of the Tang State is several times different from similar engines in the West in terms of service life.

The fundamental reason is that there is a gap in the performance of the materials used to make up for the engine, and this gap on the basis often requires long-term research to make up.

The so-called foundation is not firm, and the earth shakes.

This is the reason why Tang Guo Industry always has a "heart attack".

Another example is the manufacturing of computer chips that has recently felt stuck, and it is also because of chip materials and the core equipment for producing chips, so that Tang Guo can only bow his head.

As a doctor of engineering, Du Qiu knew the key to this, so he chose a large number of materials to remember the material purification and synthesis production process of the alien civilization in his dreams.

Du Qiu's intuition told him that this purification and synthesis production process of the super machine could definitely produce various materials on a large scale at a controllable cost.

Even if the equipment imitated by itself can only achieve half the production efficiency, it should be far lower than the production cost of the traditional method on Bluestar.

In fact, he had already found the production process of carbon fiber and graphene, but Du Qiu was not sure if he could replicate the entire production process.

At least in the production process he understands so far, the high-speed separator may not be able to be successfully copied.

Because the rotor, the core component of the high-speed separator, requires special materials, and only special titanium alloys on Bluestar can be used at present.

However, the high-speed separator is a key piece of equipment in the production process of new materials, and if the core rotor is made of special titanium alloy, the cost will remain high.

The key is that manufacturers with the production and processing capacity of this kind of titanium alloy parts, don't talk about whether it is good or not, even if they find it, I don't know if they are willing to take this business.

After all, this kind of manufacturer is busy with the country's high-tech projects, and there is no excess production capacity to customize production for themselves.

It is a pity that among the hundreds of new materials found and recorded by Duqiu, the materials suitable for this rotor have not yet been discovered.

Otherwise, it is similar to the existence of titanium alloy, and there is still a problem of processing difficulty.

Of course, if Du Qiu is very rich now, this is not too much of a problem, and it is a big deal to purchase the kind of equipment that can be used for 3D printing of titanium alloy parts.

This rotor is produced by 3D printing.

It's really a matter of money when it's spent!

Du Qiu didn't think much about it and continued to study the production process related to the high-speed separator.

After studying the purification or synthesis procedures of nearly 1,000 materials, Du Qiu found that there were always some parts of these procedures that did not have much detail.

Or rather, just give a general call relationship.

The called module pointed to is often not detailed, which makes Du Qiu very worried, if it is because of the deviation in the details, he can't imitate it successfully, it would be a pity.

Therefore, Du Qiu carefully studied each module in the program, listing the ones that were not detailed one by one.

He wanted to see if there was anything special about the modules.

Under Du Qiu's patient comparison, an anomaly was finally discovered.

He found that in every single element purification and separation program, some modules were calling a low-level module.

When it comes to the underlying module before, he has skipped it first, and is ready to go deeper in the future.

Now he's ready to see what this low-level module is for.

According to Bluestar's computer language conventions, most programmers don't know how the underlying module or function is called, as long as they know what the module or function does and how to use it.

Now, this low-level module in the separation and purification program gives instructions in one word: collect.

However, Du Qiu also found that in a special magnetic material purification and separation program, this functional module was not applied, but a program prohibiting shielding was added to ensure that the module was not applied.

This attracted Du Qiu's attention, and after his careful study, he was suddenly a little happy.

It turns out that the full name of this module is magnetic collection, and when most programs call it, it is simplified to collection.

In fact, the module does not only perform a collection function, but also generates a complex microscopic magnetic field when the high-speed separator is running.

When a single element substance undergoes more than a dozen procedures to form the final liquid or gaseous mixture, it is controlled by this subtle magnetic field.

While rotating at high speed, the magnetic force of the subtle magnetic field acting on the atoms of different substances is different.

In this way, the mixed substances are subjected to different magnetic forces under the external high-speed centrifugal force, and the internal atoms are pulled by different magnetic forces, causing the mixed atoms to separate.

After studying this module, Du Qiu really understood that the function of this high-speed separator is not simply to use high-speed centrifugal force to separate and purify.

The real power of the alien civilization is hidden in this seemingly ordinary magnetic collection module at the bottom.

Don't think that this kind of subtle magnetic field control is commonplace, in Bluestar Technology, the application of magnetic field control is very sophisticated.

The most famous is the tokamak device for nuclear fusion, which is a ring vessel that uses magnetic confinement to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

This kind of magnetic confinement is still implemented as a whole, but in the super machine of alien civilization, the magnetic collection applied by all high-speed separators can achieve atomic-level subtle constraints.

This is simple to say, and the principle involves the electromagnetic force, the strong interaction force, the weak interaction force, and the gravitational force, which are the four basic forces.

Even in a dream, Du Qiu could feel a feeling of his heart beating faster, and the four basic forces were unexpectedly used in this small functional module.

At the very least, it shows that this alien civilization has completely mastered the theory of grand unification.

Its civilization level is definitely above level four!
