Section 15 Electricity
In the morning, Chen Zheng emerged from the soft futon.
With the Model C, the problem of fiber manufacturing is solved. Now Chen Zheng not only changed out of the beggar clothes, but also finally had a set of covers, and the hay could finally be laid off.
After washing, Chen Zheng was about to get some fish soup to drink, but as soon as he went out, he was blocked by the man with glasses waiting at the door.
When Chen Zheng followed him into the big tent, he found that all five of them, including the man with glasses, were red-eyed, oily-faced, and extremely excited.
"You've been up all night?" Chen Zheng asked.
"Yes, sir, but it doesn't matter." The man with glasses urged excitedly, "Come and see, we have deduced it according to your formula...... Shocking results! ”
The glasses man's lips trembled when he spoke, his hands unconsciously made a lot of meaningless movements, and the whole person was in extreme excitement.
"You...... You should take a break first. Chen Zheng frowned, "It's not good for your health to go on like this." ”
"Oh, don't worry about it so much! Come and see! The man with glasses pointed to the data on the screen and said excitedly.
When Chen Zheng walked over to look at the screen, the man with glasses began to talk endlessly:
"In the past, when we were studying how zero crystals are converted into energy, we were all based on its characteristics, so that it was converted into what we know to be matter, and then refined into energy."
"But after a while, we found a problem - when advanced civilizations use zero crystals, they obviously use less than us, but the energy they convert is far more than dozens or even hundreds of times that of us."
"This phenomenon has always bothered us, and the direction of research is gradually moving towards the transformation of zero crystals into more energetic matter."
"But no matter how hard we try, there is still an order of magnitude gap compared to the energy efficiency of the advanced civilization, and the energy we obtain from the same zero crystal consumption is still less than a fraction of the other party."
"But that's the end of it! Bringing in your formula, we find that even advanced civilizations still haven't used the power of Zero Crystals to the fullest. The excitement in the glasses man's eyes was about to turn into substance, and he spurted out of his eyes.
"Last night I suddenly had a new idea, if matter is energy, then why not just use zero crystals to generate energy? And then...... And there we have what we have now!! ”
Chen Zheng looked at the data on the screen, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Actually?" Is it feasible? ”
"Of course." As he spoke, the man with glasses took Chen Zheng to the side, where there was a steel machine the size of a wooden barrel full of oil.
"It's ...... What is the power supply for a snowmobile? Because he had repaired the snowmobile, Chen Zheng quickly recognized it.
"Yes, this supercritical generator is originally filled with a mixture of ultra-fine zero-crystalline powder and grease, which is converted into @#¥% (a supercritical compound) through force field binding, and then converted into heat energy into electricity......"
There is a word in the middle of the glasses man's words that has not been translated, and it should be that there is no corresponding compound name in Chinese.
"And now, we've revamped it, and now it should be able to output power just by putting it in zero crystals." As he spoke, the man with glasses looked at Chen Zheng expectantly.
“…… It turns out that you came to me early in the morning for this ......" Chen Zheng flattened his mouth.
"Hey...... This is also to give you a demonstration of the results...... "The man with glasses scratches his head.
Chen Zheng sighed, took out a small piece the size of a fingernail and said, "Save it." ”
"Enough! Enough is enough! ”
The man with glasses excitedly took the piece of zero crystal, which was less than 20 grams, and put it on the instrument to record the weight.
After taking the readings, the man with glasses turned on the greasy and dirty generator with his own hands, solemnly picked up the tweezers and put it into the machine.
As the generator vibrates slightly, a stable current output is generated.
"Whew...... Next, we need to consume a little more electricity. The man with glasses looked at Chen Zheng and asked, "Why don't you experiment with your ...... How about a railgun? ”
"Okay." Chen Zheng nodded.
The design of the copper rail has long been handed over to the man with glasses, and they have also trial-produced a few.
The biggest problem of the electromagnetic gun before was that there was no reliable energy supply, and after the energy problem was solved, there was no metal aluminum. The melting temperature of aluminum is around 660 degrees, which is much lower than the melting point of copper.
When using an aluminum stock, the aluminum stock melts before the track, and the position where the stock comes into contact with the copper rail leaves a layer of liquid aluminum as a protective layer, which not only does not lose thrust, but also reduces the wear of the track.
However, when used for experiments, the effect of the copper projectile is the same, and the launcher can also be temporarily improvised.
Just when the glasses man was busy assembling the electromagnetic gun, Chen Zheng came to the wooden board, picked up the charcoal and calculated.
According to Einstein's mass-energy formula, 1 gram of matter can be completely converted into energy to obtain 9X10^13 joules, which is 25X10^6 kWh.
Taking the Three Gorges as a reference, the annual power generation of the Three Gorges Dam is less than 100 billion kWh, which is equivalent to the energy converted by 4 kilograms of zero crystals if rounded up to 100 billion kWh.
According to the monthly consumption of 200 kilowatt-hours of electricity by a household, the energy that can be converted by 1 gram of zero crystal is enough for this family to use for 10,000 years!!
According to the calculation of 1 kilowatt-hour and 5 cents of electricity consumption for residents on the earth, the value of one gram of zero crystal is as high as 12.5 million yuan!!
Counting this, Chen Zheng's hand shook slightly-just threw it away, and threw out 500 million!?
No, it can't be counted that way.
Chen Zheng patted his chest, the price of electricity for residents is different from the ex-factory price of electricity, and the technology of the man with glasses may not be able to reach the theoretical limit.
Even if you can reach ...... That's ...... That's ......
Chen Zheng walked to the test site by the sea in despair.
"Huh? Why is your face so ugly? The girl's voice sounded beside Chen Zheng, "It seems that someone owes you tens of billions?" ”
As soon as I thought of that, dozens of kilograms of zero-crystalline powder were filled into the zero-energy furnace of BT-7274......
…… Chen Zheng couldn't help glaring at the girl.
You are the one who owes me tens of billions!
……
By the sea, the electromagnetic cannon has been erected.
The muzzle of the gun was facing the sea in the distance.
"Start?" Men with glasses ask for advice.
Chen Zheng nodded.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound of compressed air, a wrist-thick projectile was fired between the copper rails.
"Buzz!"
"Whoosh!!"
With the dazzling lightning flashing, the projectile disappeared into the distant sky in an instant. As some of the jumping arcs between the copper rails subsided, water vapor erupted from the vents on the sides of the copper rails, and soon the seashore became smoky.
"Huh? This power ......" The girl who seemed to be watching a play became serious at this time, "I didn't expect this toy to really be able to ......"
