Now that energy freedom has been realized, as long as the resources are sufficient, you can continuously synthesize the elements you need, and you don't want to go over, you can only obtain rare elements through mining.

Looking at the gold that was constantly mined, Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Just now, in the past, how difficult it was, synthetic elements were unimaginable, and they could only rely on mining and refining, think about it, in the past year or so, the development of science and technology has been too fast." "In the past, it wasn't that you couldn't synthesize elements.

After the appearance of the accelerator, you can synthesize elements, but at that time, the cost of synthesizing elements is too large, take synthetic gold as an example, the energy consumed can only synthesize a little bit of gold, and in terms of cost, it is completely unworthy.

Now it's different, energy is free, and the cost of energy is basically negligible.

Zuo Dajun nodded again and again, and said: "That is, there is no comparison between the past and the present, if you want to talk about changes, it will be too much, what kind of life is everyone living now, what kind of life did you live in the past, from the big point, in the past, if the earth was blown up, then we human beings would be wiped out, and now, even if the solar system is blown up, we human beings will also be wiped out." "In the past, the vast majority of people were struggling for a better life, and many people were busy day and night.

But now, everyone can live the life that only the super-rich used to live. Su Zhe said with a smile: "That's for sure, it's not the past now, we humans don't have to rely on the earth, we don't have to rely on stars to survive, of course, now we are still in the early stage of the development of the interstellar era, and there is still a great danger of being wiped out, just wait for us to get through the early stage of development." "Suffice it to say that after the success of the proton fusion device, humanity will not have to rely on stars to survive.

At this time, human beings can live anywhere in the universe. Zuo Dajun nodded and said: "Yes, but it will take at least ten or twenty years, at least our next generation will grow up, by the way, Su Zhe, congratulations, you are going to be a father so soon, by the way, how many children do you have in the first batch." As he spoke, he looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming.

Su Zhe smiled and said, "I asked for a hundred." Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "I'm also a hundred." Zuo Dajun joked: "I don't know why I want to limit 100 children, as far as I think, the first batch of at least 500 children, but 100 is the highest limit, I can't figure it out." "The first batch of the population increase plan was limited, and a couple could only have a maximum of 100 children.

In his opinion, it is completely possible to have more, after all, children's clothing, food, housing and transportation are taken care of by family robots, a sheep is to drive ten sheep is also to drive, you can have more children, you know, human development needs a large number of people, just because of population restrictions, limiting the speed of human development.

Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Dajun, you can be like Su Zhe and let your wife take care of you, this is not within the scope of the population increase plan, you can have as many children as you want, even if you have ten at a time, it is okay." Zuo Dajun smiled awkwardly and said: "It depends on luck, not if you want it." Su Zhe smiled but said nothing.

With a wave of his hand, the picture in front of the three of them changed, and the picture of two or three stars at the South Gate appeared in the picture.

In the picture, the three stars are all developing resources, and those planets, except for those that were deliberately left, are in the process of being developed.

The goal is clear, the final fate of these planets is to be mined and disappear into space.

This is the fate of these planets, and as for the three stars, it is no exaggeration to say that the three stars have been surrounded, and the reason for this is to use their energy.

Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "This is the truth, the child does not say that he can conceive if he can conceive, it depends on luck, my wife and I have a plan, everything is fate, by the way, the development of this South Gate II is still quite fast, as far as the current mining speed is concerned, as long as there is half a year, the resources that can be mined by South Gate II will be mined." Su Zhe nodded and said: "At most, it will take a year, but with the current trend, it will only take half a year to complete the development of resources, but now South Gate 2 is a little unstable, South Gate 2 is a triple star, as far as the current mining is concerned, the balance will soon be broken, I want to say, Penglai Space City and the second earth that has been reached should leave the scope of South Gate 2 early, it is too dangerous." "Southgate-2 is a three-star star system, which is not unstable in itself, and with the current development of Southgate-2, it is even more unstable.

If you don't say it well, the balance of South Gate II may be broken at any time, and at that time, the entire South Gate II may be in chaos.

If Penglai Space City and the Second Earth remain in South Gate 2, they will have to take a huge risk. Zuo Dajun said with a smile: "That can't, as far as I know, Penglai Space City and the Second Earth will soon leave South Gate 2, and their next target is a star system with only one star seven light years away from the solar system, and they will not encounter the same problems as South Gate 2 here." As he spoke, Zuo Dajun waved his hand, and what appeared in front of the three of them was a star system, there was only one star in this star system, and there were eleven planets in the star system, as well as other celestial bodies.

In this star system, there is a large engineering fleet, and the main task of this fleet is to develop and build this star system.

Looking at this star system, Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "This is a star system named Apocalypse, and it will be made into a second place for human beings, and it is reasonable for Penglai Space City and the second earth to go to Apocalypse." Su Zhe nodded and said, "That's good, no matter what, we can't stay in Nanmen II, after all, it's too dangerous, if you're not careful, you won't be able to recover, we can't risk our lives." "The instability of the second south gate is no joke.

In the most extreme case, it is not impossible for three stars to collide together, and if such an extreme situation is encountered, everything in South Gate II will be ruined.

"Of course, it's not a joke." Zuo Dajun said,

"By the way, I heard that Yan Da had the idea to reach the head of the star, saying that the three stars of South Gate 2 finally left only Proxima Centauri, a star, for the other two stars to be mined, and the resources mined to build an industrial area around the solar system, in other words, Yan Da's heart is also big enough, so he dared to hit the star on the head." The number of roads in Yanda is transformation, and the most difficult practice is taken at the beginning.

Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "This is true, Yan Da's application has been approved, and the mining plan for the stars is almost done, speaking of which, Yan Da has a sentence that is not wrong, to build an industrial zone around the solar system, it is far from enough to rely on the resources of those planets, and it is necessary to mine the stars, after all, in a star system, the largest proportion of resources is the star." "The reason why the relevant departments agreed so quickly is mainly because of the problem of resources.

For now, although energy has achieved freedom, resources have almost achieved freedom, from a Mo point of view, as long as energy has achieved freedom, then resources have almost achieved freedom, think about it, you can know that energy is sufficient, then resources can continue to circulate.

This is on the same scale, but now the situation is that the scale is increasing, the population is increasing, and the scope of human control is increasing, which means that a lot of resources need to be added.

In the current situation, the resources provided by those planets are far from enough, and if you want to mine more planets, you can only travel to more distant star systems, the distance is too far, and it will take time to go back and forth.

The key point is that compared to the stars themselves, the resources of the planets are still too small, just like the solar system, the entire solar system, the sun accounts for more than 90% of the material mass, which is the core of the idea of playing stars.

Su Zhe waved his hand and said with a smile: "Look, this is the process of mining the two or two stars in the South Gate, you know, this process has been discussed by many scholars together, to be honest, we will all take this step sooner or later." When Su Zhe waved his hand, the picture in front of the three of them changed, a huge star, with a huge device around it, and the plasma on the surface of the star was continuously sucked out by the device, like a fire dragon.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Dajun was a little excited and asked, "Is this using a strong magnetic field?" ”

"Yes!" Fan Xiaoming said: "Don't look at it, this plan also has a huge risk, think about it, originally a star is good, we continue to extract the material of the star, in this case, a careless will break the balance of the star, seriously, if the change is slow, it's okay, keep breaking the balance, and then rebuild the balance, this will not change much, it is still acceptable, but the big balance will always be broken, what is the final result, now we are very thoughtful." "When stellar material is extracted, the balance of the stars is definitely upset.

You know, this is also a triple star system, the planets are mined, the stars are mined, and it has huge variables, and it is really hard to say how it will be now.

Maybe it's going to be a big change. Zuo Dajun thought about it, nodded again and again, and said, "This...... Forget about mining those planets, mining stars, or the core of the triple star system, this is too crazy, a little careless, then the entire South Gate II will explode, really, this is not a joke, do we have to think about it carefully, you know, South Gate II is too close to the solar system, if we encounter the most extreme situation, it will affect the solar system, maybe the human race will be wiped out. "Once the balance of South Gate II is disrupted, there will be no less chaos.

Su Zhe smiled and said: "Everyone has thought of this point, and they have also prepared for the worst, so there can not be one person in the space range of South Gate 2, and we will also do a lot of preventive measures, having said that, this time we are taking risks, but I have to say that this adventure is worth it, and it is of great significance for the resource development and transformation of the triple star, if the triple star is all understood, then it will be more certain for the star system of double star and single star." "The development of South Gate II is a big experimental test.

Fan Xiaoming said seriously: "Research is one thing, we need resources to build the industrial area around the solar system on the other hand, we need a lot of resources to build, mining the stars of South Gate II is the beginning, and then many stars will be mined to provide resources." "Suffice it to say, stellar mining is the way to go.

In the universe as a whole, the mass of stars is the majority, and the planets and other celestial bodies are very small.

In situations where a lot of resources are required, mining stars is a certainty. For example, the industrial area around the solar system needs a lot of resources, and if it relies solely on celestial bodies other than stars, it will cost much.

Zuo Dajun thought for a while and said: "The main component of stellar elements is hydrogen, so these hydrogens have to be synthesized into other elements, so this process has to produce a lot of energy, simply put, it is necessary to carry out a continuous nuclear fusion process. Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "That's the case, the current construction, we need energy, we also need resources, this process is what we need, so I passed the application of Yan University so simply, look, this is a combination of proton nuclear fusion device and element synthesis equipment, on the one hand, you can get the energy we need, on the other hand, you can get the resources we need, the best of both worlds." As he spoke, a large ring-shaped device appeared in front of the three of them.

Speaking of which, both the proton fusion device and the element synthesis device are variants of the accelerator, so to speak, this is an extension of the proton fusion device.

If it is said that all that is needed is energy, then the expanded need is that energy is also needed and various elements are needed.

Su Zhe said with a smile: "Such a device is already under construction, and it will be completed soon, and when it is completed, it is the time to mine stars, and mine stars!" I wouldn't dare to think so in the past, but now, we will soon be able to achieve it, which is the real freedom of energy and resources. Looking at the big guy, Zuo Dajun sighed and said: "We are really bold now, mining stars, using the resources mined by stars, mainly hydrogen to obtain energy and other elements, mining or the stars in the triple star system, this courage is really not ordinary, if one is not careful, the balance of the south gate two is broken, and the three stars are packed together to form a black hole, even if it can't form a black hole, a neutron star or something, or a supernova explosion, we humans may be wiped out." Fan Xiaoming comforted: "rest assured, we are all careful, in the process of mining, that is the whole process of monitoring, to prevent the emergence of extreme situations, besides, we mining is a process, it is impossible to achieve overnight, to be honest, we are going to monitor and analyze on a larger scale, on the solar system around these star systems, they also have an impact on each other, but also in a dynamic equilibrium, once the balance is broken, it will bring about those changes, these we have to take into account." ”
