Chapter 8 Science and Technology Dividends

To be honest, it was the first time for Wang Bu to use psionic search to conduct that kind of 'memory search' on a corpse that had been dead for so long, although he had lost a lot of memories due to the precipitation of time, but I have to say that Wang Bu still obtained several useful technical information from one of them. First of all, it must be said that the space jockey's biological ship involves a lot of complex super bioengineering knowledge that not a single pilot can fully understand, and the search for the pilot's corpse only remembers some technical details. Not to mention that the faster-than-light system of this level of spacecraft that Wang Bu is most concerned about is even more garbled, and he can't find a clue for the time being, but it doesn't prevent Wang Bu from finding the other two technologies that can be quickly digested.

First of all, it is a very important material technology, and in the space age, a technology that must not be saved is the field of materials. Space is full of harsh environments, such as low and ultra-high temperatures, as well as radiation and microgravity environments, which undoubtedly put forward the most demanding standards in the field of materials. It is difficult to meet the conventional materials in the general Earth Age environment, and the space jockey, as a mature space civilization race, will naturally have some achievements in this field, although this is not the main material of their spaceship, but it is also a very useful auxiliary technology for the current Wang Bu! He'd heard of it on the plane—something related to ultra-pure water

Extremely pure water is a very controversial scientific and technological project in Wang Buyuan's time and space, and even a water column composed of a surface membrane of extremely pure water, compared with a steel bar of the same thickness, who is stronger? Usually according to the common sense of life, we will choose steel bars. However, the correct answer is a column of water composed of pure water surface membranes. A steel bar with a diameter of 2.5 centimeters can be broken with only 900 kilograms of force, while a water column of the same thickness consisting of a pure water surface membrane theoretically requires 950 tons of force. Extremely pure water is about 1,000 times more pressure-resistant than steel. According to a laboratory study, the molecular structure of the ultrapure water surface film is very tight, and the intermolecular attraction is very strong. If there were a real pure water lake in the world, it would be perfect for people to run, jump, and even drive. The purer the water, the stronger the surface film. If the ultra-pure surface film can be made into body armor, it will allow people to shuttle freely through the rain of bullets. However, another characteristic of water is solubility, and many substances can be dissolved in water and become impurities in water. These impurities, even in small amounts of gas, can wreak havoc on the strength of the water surface film. The molecules of these impurities are inserted between the water molecules, greatly weakening their mutual attraction. However, in the actual experiment, the conditions are too harsh, and it is almost impossible to find any real application in reality, so that some people denounce it as pseudoscience. Of course, there is actually quite a principle!

Although it has been quoted more than once in some novels, there must be a great practical bottleneck in practical application: first, ultrapure water must ensure extreme purity in order to maintain high strength, but in practical application, it is impossible not to encounter the problem of various impurities penetration, which is a serious problem that many practical materials must encounter. Those superpowers or martial arts masters can be solved by ultra-fine control ability at any time, but in fact, the use of ultra-sophisticated nano machines with quantum intelligent control can barely be done, and it requires extremely cutting-edge fluid mechanics and quantum mechanics level cooperation. Why don't you just develop some kind of more reliable nanomaterial?! So when Wang Bu left, the subject had cooled down again.

Another major problem for this technology is that even ultra-pure water, which has super toughness, is a hydrogen product, and its lack of high temperature resistance is its huge weakness. In the space environment, various high-temperature effects in various radiation environments will inevitably cause bad evaporation and even worse explosive expansion effects. Generally speaking, it is not a reliable material. No wonder it began to be abandoned by scholars. But here he got a path of practical application from the space jockey. As a hybrid material, to be exact!

The material, known as 'water plastic', is a basic and commonly used material for space jockeys, using a bioplastic that can be grown and grown, and a complex multi-layered compound that has been specially processed to contain some of the functions of extremely pure water. But the precision bioplastic wrapping layer wrapped around it also has a more important function, giving it incredible strength, flexibility and durability, and high temperature resistance. It's very dense but lightweight! When Wang Bu used a strange piece of equipment in the spaceship that had been missed, he felt a sense of fulfillment when he created a translucent cloth-like material. This thing is not too difficult to do, the bioplastic that produces its core can be excavated and recycled from some parts of the ship, and then it can be replanted and reused, and he has already tried the activity with psionic induction before. The rest is moisture and processing! Moreover, the principle and accuracy of the processing machine are not too complicated, at least he sensed that it is not too difficult to imitate the technical conditions of the Alien 2 Space-Time Hybrid Attack Ghost Team.

Of course, after instructing the expert group to come immediately to accept the project, he happily walked to the core power area. Although the significance of new materials has always been not small. But it's nothing compared to the second harvest. Although water plastic technology is indeed a relatively advanced technology for human beings at this time, it is no different from cement and plastic board technology for space jockeys, and it is just a very common popularization of civilian technology. The second message directly points to an important achievement involving the core scientific and technological field of space jockeys - energy.

It is well known that in order to develop into a space civilization, it is necessary to have extremely high achievements in energy applications, and at least to break through to the level of nuclear fusion in order to be qualified to leave the solar system where it originated. Further up there is antimatter that is better, and some universes with strict physical laws are even a little reluctant to do so! Of course, the technology he has obtained here is not as efficient as antimatter, but it is still more efficient than nuclear fusion.

It's a strange energy crystal known as Zrbite in the language of the space jockey, and it seems so weird that it is also closely related to the space jockey's biotechnology. This is a strange crystalline life form found on an exoplanet during the space jockey's early space exploration, and it resembles a polyp at the beginning. It is a small life form that is short in microseconds, and can reproduce by eroding some heavy elemental materials. It sounds weird, but it shows another tenacious way of life! It will have a non-resonant and irreversible effect on the molecular structure of the eroding heavy elements, which in turn will affect the stable variation of its positron structure! This results in high-energy matter! Space jockeys have refined it for several generations into an efficient way to store crystals with safe high-energy fuels. What Wang Bu found here is a kind of energy conversion efficiency that can reach more than 10 times that of nuclear fusion through a special 'crystal embryo' catalyzed by a special ion displacement device.

This energy crystal can be easily converted into light energy, and can also be easily converted into ionic energy under the appropriate catalytic environmental action, so it can become a universal energy. When this energy crystal is manufactured, 10% of the entire weight is energy, that is, its mass-energy conversion rate is 0.1. Compared to other energy sources, antimatter has a mass-energy conversion rate of 1, hydrogen fusion is slightly less than 0.01, the high-energy nuclear fission now used in in-situ space-time is 0.001, uranium nuclear fission is slightly less than 0.001, gasoline is 1 part 2 billion, and ** is 1 part 20 billion. In other words, this energy crystal, called Zebert, is the most energetic form of energy storage other than antimatter, because antimatter is too dangerous, so only energy crystals are best suited as safe universal energy. It can adjust the power of the ion beam accelerator according to different applications, ensure different levels of energy release, and is much safer than nuclear batteries (at least not too lethal radioactive)

Very quick through the search of the memory, he found the twisted biopunk-style power room, found the specially stored 'crystal embryo' memory, and activated a usable space rider teacher plasma catalytic device for 'catalysis', sensing that the abundant energy was stabilized in another form, and he once again had an understanding and longing for knowledge! If there is any disadvantage of this thing, it can only use gold as a stable raw material, and the state of gold conversion in the space knight's experiment is the most stable and the best energy efficiency. Each conversion requires at least 100 times the amount of gold to be consumed, which is a bit expensive to calculate that the fuel is at least 100 times the price of gold. But if you calculate it carefully, it's actually worth it, not to mention that the price of gold in the interstellar age has dropped significantly, even if it is 100 times more expensive, it is not several times more expensive than conventional nuclear fusion fuel, and the energy efficiency value is definitely worth it. Although the more efficient antimatter spacecraft has been initially put into practical use, it is still expensive, with an expensive cost of $6.25 billion per gram to process, and can only be used in small quantities as fuel for special weapons or some specially made equipment. The popular version is not willing to be used by any big consortium at all! It can be said that in the future, Wang Bu will thoroughly understand this technology, and the conversion will definitely set off an interstellar storm-level energy market shock in an interstellar era

But now!? Wang Bu felt that the processing was completed, and he casually used the psionic power to lift the piece of Zebert that glowed with golden crystal brilliance in the air, and then smiled: "Now it's better to use it yourself!" Maybe you can think about a super portable energy system or a super portable weapon or something? With this somewhat dangerous smile, Wang Bu once again sent a packet announcement signal to several core experts around him. Then he turned around and prepared to inform Aso of the latest technology dividends~~
