Chapter 342: Electronic Degenerate Metals
"Dawn, give another shot to the planet where the Zerg brood is located."
"Okay, Commander."
More than five minutes later, the star ring cannon was fired again, directly destroying the living planet where the Zerg brood was located.
The two cannons are over, and the first level is cleared.
Don't look at these two cannons are very simple, but the energy consumed directly bottoms out the planet's energy reserves, leaving only 21.5% of antimatter energy.
In this way, the two guns used less than 80% of the energy, which is nothing.
But you know, this 80% antimatter energy is enough for a fleet to sail around the galaxy 30 times.
With such a huge amount of energy, two cannons will be used up, and it is not normal for the power to be a little stronger.
A few hours later, Anwen entered the interior of the star system.
"Dawn, organize robots to mine resources, fill the energy deficit as quickly as possible, and rebuild five fleets, and upgrade the main battleship to a planetary-class battleship."
"Okay, Commander."
"By the way, give me a copy of all the data of the Zerg fleet."
"Okay, Commander."
After giving the order, An Wen came to the porthole and looked at the scene outside.
Now the whole galaxy has changed dramatically.
The orbit of the planet is disordered, and I don't know how long it will take to adjust it back, and even the cosmic space within the star system is full of thermal radiation.
At present, the thermal radiation in galaxies is 300 times higher than that of normal galaxies.
This is the after-effect of the two guns just now.
The living planet where the Zerg brood was originally located has become a magma planet, with a disordered magnetic field and a disappearance of the atmosphere, not to mention life.
"Dawn, remember to send robots to search that planet to see if you can find any items or materials left behind by the Zerg."
"Okay, Commander."
After conquering the first level, An Wen has nothing to do in the other world.
His purpose has been achieved.
Whether it's destroying the Zerg occupying the star system, or collecting information about the interstellar Zerg, it's all done.
The rest of the things are built up slowly.
He also wants to build stellar-class warships, but the problem is that there are not enough materials.
At the moment, being able to build planetary-class warships is already the limit, and it will cost a lot of survival points to make up for the lack of materials.
Therefore, in a short period of time, the situation in the other world will not change, and will only stay in this star system to replenish resources and build warships.
In that case, it wouldn't be interesting for him to stay here.
"Forget it, I'll go back tomorrow."
An Wen leaves the star ring and returns to the interior of the planet.
I took a shower and played for a while before going to bed.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, he got up and returned home.
"You're out?" Chen Yun was cooking breakfast and was surprised to see An Wen.
"Well, it's okay, I haven't been in retreat lately." An Wen nodded and said.
After breakfast, the two went to work together.
An Wen went to the office first and disposed of the documents that had been squeezed during this time.
In fact, it's not a big deal, he just needs to sign and seal it.
It is impossible to send the documents to him for a really urgent matter, and wait for his approval before implementation, then something big will happen a long time ago.
"Director, there's a meeting later, do you want to attend?" Shan Dandan came to An Wen's office to ask for his opinion.
"What meeting?" An Wen asked curiously.
"It's a meeting on interstellar trade."
"Well, so be it, wait a minute, you call everyone together and have a meeting."
"Okay, Director, I'll let you know."
Shan Dandan didn't ask An Wen what the meeting was about, anyway, even if she asked, it didn't make much sense.
The ghost knows if the content of the meeting that An Wen has come up with now will go straight off when the meeting actually starts.
Rather than notifying the subject of the meeting in advance, it is better to directly notify the director that the meeting is called.
When the time comes, An Wen can say whatever he wants.
Ten o'clock.
Originally, it was just an interstellar economic and trade conference, but it was turned into a conference by Anwen.
However, those who can come are all the directors of the secondary bureau, and the rest of them are not qualified.
"Okay, everyone's here, let's report on the work of the past few months." Director Shen spoke in advance.
He knew that An Wen didn't know about the work of the bureau during this time, so he asked each unit to report first, mainly for An Wen.
It took more than 40 minutes for each department to make a brief report.
Through their reports, An Wen also learned about the recent situation on the earth and the work of various departments.
"Okay, everybody's doing well, the work is going well, and the next ...... By the way, I want to discuss the issue of interstellar trade, and I'll talk about other things when I'm done. An Wen nodded and looked at Chen Yun.
Chen Yun didn't talk nonsense, and directly began to talk about interstellar foreign trade.
Foreign trade in the interstellar age is not the same as the age of the earth.
The first is the difference in distance, the second is the difference in geopolitical issues, the third is the difference in the international pattern, the fourth is the difference in the relationship between supply and demand, and the fifth is the difference in the financial order.
Foreign trade must be carried out.
Even though the world economic circle has been fragmented due to global migration, in general, the market has not shrunk, but has expanded.
Moreover, the proportion of resources owned by countries has also increased, and these are all for the profit point of interstellar trade.
Especially when China occupies a technological advantage, foreign trade needs to be done even more.
But how to do it is a problem, and the first thing to solve is the currency problem.
"According to the research report of experts from the Academy of Star Sciences, whether it is the solar system, the hope galaxy or the dawning galaxy, there is a large amount of gold.
If we use gold as margin, we will not be able to make a corresponding profit at all, after all, there are too many gold reserves in the three galaxies.
At the moment, we urgently need to find an equivalent item that can be pegged to the currency as a trading margin. ”
An Wen listened to Chen Yun's report and understood everything.
Originally, all countries were on the gold standard, but later the gold standard collapsed, and the United States adopted the practice that oil is equal to rice knives and printed money frantically.
Money is not just for trading, it is also an economic plunder, and it is more terrible than war plunder.
But the problem is that in today's interstellar trade, you can't find a universal currency that can be used as a transaction.
Renminbi can, and Huaguo can also guarantee not to print more renminbi.
But the problem is that other countries don't believe it, and the United States definitely doesn't believe it.
Moreover, even if the United States agrees, then what will the United States exchange for RMB?
Rice knives?
We're not going to do it yet.
Gold?
There is a lot in the gold universe that we can mine ourselves.
Petroleum?
Nuclear fusion, petroleum into chemical raw materials, no longer the world's energy source.
What is used to peg the renminbi, and this kind of thing that is pegged to the renminbi, whether physical or virtual, must have actual value, and all countries can get this kind of thing, and at the same time recognize its actual value.
That's the most troublesome problem right now, because you can't find anything like that.
"In fact, it is okay to continue to use gold, even if gold is mined, it will not depreciate." An Wen said suddenly.
"Director, why doesn't gold depreciate when it is mined in large quantities? Does gold have any special purpose? Chen Yun asked curiously.
"If I say that future space warships will need to be made of gold alloy, do you believe it?" An Wen said with a smile.
Gold alloys?
Used to build space warships?
That's so extravagant, and the physical properties of gold, how can it be used to build a space battleship.
The crowd was puzzled.
In fact, what An Wen wants to say is that gold is really useful, and it is of great use.
Earth doesn't need it yet, but the Atlas does.
The hull of a stellar warship needs to be made of gold alloy.
In fact, it is said to be a gold alloy, or more accurately, a gold electronically degenerate metal.
The name of the Atlas icon is Eternal Blue Gold.
Because the state of this metal is in the electron degenerate state, there is a strong degenerate electron gas on the surface, which causes the color of gold to look blue to the naked eye, so it is called eternal blue gold.
In fact, degenerate materials are very common in the universe, such as white dwarfs and neutron stars.
Both of these extreme stars are composed of degenerate materials.
White dwarfs are electron degeneracies, and neutron stars are neutron degeneracies.
Think about the strength of these two stars, and you know how strong this material is.
If you put aside the gravitational strength and collide with the earth with a white dwarf, the white dwarf has nothing to do, and the earth is broken.
As for neutron stars, as long as you don't use neutron stars to hit black holes, even if you hit the sun, the sun will be knocked through, which is basically invincible.
Therefore, there will be a great demand for gold in the future.
