Chapter Fifty-Six: The Stone Hammer Is Done, Humans Did It (Asking for Votes and Reading)

For Lin Xu, discovering this transaction was an unexpected event.

Knowing about the existence of the Chaos Element Energy was also an accident.

Although Lin Xu took this opportunity to solve many mysteries, there were also more mysteries.

And after calming down, Lin Xu stopped caring about any Chaos Yuan Energy for the time being, but continued to do what he should do at the moment.

As the saying goes, look up at the starry sky and be down-to-earth.

The matter of the Chaos Yuan Energy, as well as the truth of the human voyage, Lin Xu believed that he would know one day.

What should be done now is to investigate the asteroid belt as originally planned to see if we can find any traces left by humans.

If you can still pick up something, that's the best.

Lin Xu believed that human beings would not fail to study something on the way to here from Planet 1 of the test site.

As for the captured army of the Republic of Mali, as well as the temporary caravan that was half merchant and half interstellar bandits, Lin Xu hadn't figured out what to do with them for the time being.

So let's just close it for now, anyway, it's not bad to close it for a few days.

Lin Xu planned to wait until he was done with the business before dealing with them.

In this way, countless autonomous machines were dispatched to search the asteroid belt and even the entire galaxy.

A few days later, a clue was found.

A fragment of an asteroid with an extremely irregular shape, about the size of a mountain.

There is a faint signal coming from the inside, which is the standby signal of the autonomous machine.

When the autonomous machine is in the standby state, it is not completely locked and does not interact with the outside world at all.

If it's completely locked, there will be no way to receive the start command.

The self-regulatory machine in the standby state only pauses its activities, but there will still be a weak quantum encryption signal inside, always keeping in touch with the outside world, waiting to receive orders.

Such a quantum encrypted signal can only be detected by the rest of the autonomous machinery that is also the civilization of earthlings.

This is also the reason why Lin Xu can easily find the standby autonomic mechanical aggregate in the two galaxies in front of him.

This time, the same autonomous mechanical aggregate in charge of the search discovered the breath of the same kind hidden in the asteroid fragments, no, it was a quantum signal.

So under Lin Xu's authorization, Yingfu immediately issued an order to restart the autonomic mechanical aggregate buried in the asteroid fragment.

Then, with the help of the rest of the autonomic mechanical aggregates, the autonomic mechanical aggregate that had been deeply embedded in the asteroid fragment was dug up.

Glowing also retrieved the database of autonomic mechanical aggregates.

And according to the records in the database, Lin Xu finally knew who did the incident that this terrestrial planet was blown to pieces.

That's right, it was humans who did it 10,000 years ago.

Of course, human beings 10,000 years ago were not idle and had nothing to do, so there was a reason for everything to blow up a planet and play.

At the end of the day, it's for scientific experiments.

It's just that this experiment failed.

Mankind's mastery of controlled nuclear fusion technology has reached the point where it is perfect and can do whatever it wants.

When humans arrived on this terrestrial planet 10,000 years ago, after nearly a thousand years of development, controlled nuclear fusion technology was no longer what it was when it first set sail from Earth.

Although it is still called controlled nuclear fusion technology, it is like the difference between the first generation of computers and later computers, and those who do not know it can no longer see that the two are essentially the same thing.

In 1946, the world's first computer, with 18,000 vacuum tubes, covered an area of 170 square meters, weighed 30 tons, and performed 5,000 operations per second.

Consider later supercomputers, with exascale computing speeds per second.

That's right, not tens of billions, it's tens of billions.

Both of these are computers, but the gap between them is simply impossible to calculate.

The humans who arrived here 10,000 years ago have a degree of control over controlled nuclear fusion to a level that was unimaginable to humans when they first set sail.

Fusion miniaturization is no longer a problem at all, and even miniaturization is no longer a problem.

That's right, miniaturization.

It's like shrinking a vacuum tube into a tiny chip, and there are tens of billions of transistors on a single chip.

At that time, human beings had also made controlled nuclear fusion the size of a battery.

Not a nuclear fuel cell, but a real, battery-sized fusion nuclear power plant.

The so-called nuclear fuel cell simply uses the thermal energy rays continuously released by the isotope during the decay process to convert it into electrical energy.

But what about battery-sized nuclear power plants? However, in such a small place as the battery, the qualitative change reaction of atoms is carried out.

In this way, a huge amount of energy is released.

It can be said that the energy produced by a small fusion battery is about 10,000 times that of the world's nuclear power plants in the first half of the 21st century combined.

It's just a small fusion battery.

Sounds like a myth, right? Incredible, right? But isn't it even more mythical to think of the supercomputer with a speed of 5,000 calculations per second in 1946 and the supercomputer with a speed of 10 billion calculations per second in the 21st century? Even more incredible?

And it is precisely such a huge difference in energy levels that can support the astronomical energy consumption of 100,000 curvature engines on the earth.

Even so, however, humanity is increasingly dissatisfied with the energy generated by controlled nuclear fusion.

Humanity needs more advanced energy sources.

As a result, mankind has intensified its research on antimatter annihilation and vacuum zero-point energy.

And this planet was accidentally blown up by humans when they were studying the energy produced by antimatter annihilation.

Of course, this planet was not blown up in vain.

Humanity has thus come to a conclusion.

The energy generated by antimatter annihilation is difficult to restrain and is easier to use as a weapon than as an energy source.

It's like a nuclear bomb, after the chain reaction is triggered, just throw it out.

But it is much more difficult to restrain the energy of a nuclear bomb and use it as a nuclear power plant.

But difficulties are difficulties, and they should be repaid.

In fact, the most ideal source of energy is the zero point energy of the vacuum, which is stable and mild, and it is endless, but it is a pity that even with the level of human technology 10,000 years ago, it is far from being able to extract the energy of quantum fluctuations from the vacuum out of thin air.

Antimatter annihilation is better said, as long as the antimatter is extracted, it is annihilated in reality, and then a method can be found to collect the energy generated by the annihilation of antimatter.

It's like the way nuclear power is used in nuclear power plants.

It's difficult, but there's always a way to find it.

After all, human beings have a large amount of chaotic energy, and they can "see" where the road ahead is with the help of a high-dimensional perspective, and they will not go astray in research, as long as they go step by step.

However, the study of vacuum zero-point energy is much more troublesome.

And because the end point is too far away, even with the help of a high-dimensional perspective, you can't "see" where the end point is for the time being, and maybe you will go wrong in the research. We can only explore slowly first, wait for the further development of science and technology, and wait until the accumulation of human beings is enough, and we can "see" the way forward that can be studied at the zero point of the vacuum, and then it will be much easier.

But now, after humans blew up this terrestrial planet, they have come to the conclusion that antimatter annihilation energy constrained harvesting is easier to achieve, after this experimental result.

More resources were applied to the research on the energy confinement of antimatter annihilation, and finally the results were obtained.

The first generation of antimatter annihilation energy confinement collection device for human beings has been successfully developed.
