PS: Thank you for the support of 4 monthly passes! Thank you for the support of 2 monthly passes! Thank you very much!

The higher the scientific and technological civilization reaches a high level, the broader the field of exploration and research, the deeper the understanding of the universe and the world, and the stronger the ability to utilize resources.

In many cutting-edge fields, if you want to solve a cutting-edge problem, the comprehensive means required often involve the more complex and extensive resources and achievements in the basic field.

Just like the Canglan civilization in the smelting of some cutting-edge metal minerals, if it wants to produce some special metals suitable for the basic needs of some cutting-edge equipment applications, from the most basic material selection, to screening, smelting, etc., it has often reached the point of being extremely sophisticated and demanding.

For example, an energy furnace for wormhole technology, it needs to use a high-strength memory high-temperature superconducting alloy, a metal material must have a variety of cutting-edge field top characteristics, not only to have extremely high strength, can withstand the huge pressure of tens of tons per cubic centimeter, but also to be able to recover independently after the formation of deformation after the instantaneous super impact, but also has the characteristics of high-temperature superconductivity, can maintain superconducting characteristics in a working environment of more than 1,000 degrees, and produces as little heat as possible when the ultra-high voltage current passesThe production has reached an extremely high level of difficulty, and there is simply one civilization in the interstellar level that can produce this grade of alloy materials.

However, the Canglan civilization, as a powerful civilization at the pinnacle level of cosmic civilization, even in the field of science and technology that it is not the best at, has unimaginably powerful strength, similar to this alloy material, it has more than thousands of reserves, and the performance specifications of this alloy are more than ten times more stringent than the performance specifications of this alloy, and the Canglan civilization is also enough to have hundreds of kinds.

In terms of the production technology of this high-strength memory high-temperature superconducting alloy, the Canglan civilization has more than ten different technical routes, and there are as many as three technical routes that can be produced on the basis of the technical foundation and equipment owned by the interstellar civilization.

The problem is that these three technical routes have been experimented and explored for decades, and finally found that no matter which technical route, the earth civilization does not have the corresponding production conditions.

Among these three technical routes, one has the lowest technical requirements and the highest resource requirements, that is, it is necessary to find a special mineral that combines dark matter and dark energy, and on the basis of this special mineral, the corresponding superconducting alloy can be easily produced using the existing equipment and technology of the earth's civilization.

However, the problem is that the conditions for the generation of this special rare mineral are too complicated, although the earth civilization has controlled a considerable part of the territory of the meteorite Xinghai civilization circle, but after carrying out a large number of mineral resources survey, trade, and almost all the places that can be found, with the help of all the forces that can be used, it is also impossible to find this rare mineral raw material, and the production technology route of this superconducting alloy has been declared to have no basis for implementation within the earth civilization.

Another more difficult technical route requires the biological treatment of dozens of alloy raw materials with the help of a special microorganism, and after thousands of extremely demanding treatment procedures, superconducting alloys can also be produced to meet the needs of use.

But the problem is that although this special microorganism is commonplace in the Canglan civilization and has been found in as many as tens of thousands of high-temperature lava planets, when the earth civilization searched for meteorites in the sea of meteorites, it searched for hundreds of thousands of planets in a row, and collected microbial samples in all these eligible environments, but none of the microbial specimens found in the end could reach the microbial performance indicators in the star field where the Canglan civilization was located.

This kind of microbial strain that does not meet the corresponding performance indicators has been proved in the experiment of smelting superconducting alloys, and the mineral raw materials digested by it do not have the corresponding special properties at all, and the raw materials required by the Canglan civilization in the corresponding production process are simply very different.

After determining that the corresponding microbial strains could not meet the needs at all, the earth civilization was still unwilling to give up this technical route for a long time, and then carried out artificial induction, genetic adjustment, etc. for a long time to obtain microbial strains, trying to adjust the traits of this microorganism to the state it needs.

As a result, tens of thousands of research projects on the earth have spent hundreds of years on the artificial adjustment of microorganisms, and many by-products of various research have been discovered, but the main goal has not made any progress, and it has always been difficult to meet the requirements for the production of this superconducting alloy.

In this way, the earth's civilization can only continue to consume a lot of resources and costs, constantly trying to find new microbial strains, carry out modification experiments on existing microbial strains, and try to be able to gain something one day.

Although the above two technical routes are temporarily impassable for the earth civilization, the earth civilization has not completely given up, and the workers on all fronts are still working hard, even if it is the kind of rare minerals that have not been found in the meteorite star sea even a little bit of ore specimens that meet the specifications, there is still a glimmer of hope for the earth civilization.

After all, maybe in some place that has not been found before, the earth civilization has discovered a vein, which is an uncertain number.

Only this last technical route, the earth civilization can be said to have basically given up this technical route after reading the relevant technical information, thinking that the possibility of the earth civilization being able to go through this road is very small, not even one in 100 million.

The reason why the earth's civilization is so desperate about this technological route is that if this technical route is to be successful, it must rely on a special plant, a tall broad-leaved tree called the Wangtian tree.

This kind of Wangtian tree is very peculiar, after growing for decades and reaching maturity, it can reach a height of thousands of meters, and there is no higher plant than it within the range of its growth.

Of course, there are more tall plants in the universe, and the height of thousands of meters is outstanding, but it is not unique, and this is not a rare place.

The key is that this Wangtian tree grows in a forest, and there can be hundreds or thousands of them in a group, and the root systems of all these Wangtian trees are combined to form a peculiar underground root network.

The scientific and technological route of smelting and producing high-temperature superconducting alloys with the help of Wangtianshu must be cut into plates of different sizes after the metal embryo is smelted, and they are pierced into the root system of Wangtianshu, so that Wangtianshu can continuously digest and absorb the metal embryo during the growth process, and all the metal raw materials are finally summarized into some fruits of Wangtianshu, and after processing and smelting the fruit, it can produce superconducting alloys that meet the needs.

Not only this kind of superconducting alloy can be smelted and produced with the help of this Wangtian tree, in the technical data of Canglan civilization, there are nearly 100 kinds of high-end materials can be produced with the help of Wangtian tree, and the product performance is excellent, and the comprehensive production cost is relatively low, even if Canglan civilization has many different production processes, many times they still prefer to use Wangtian tree to produce some special high-end industrial raw materials.

It's just that the situation of this kind of Wangtian Tree is very special, and the Canglan civilization has only found it in a certain belonging star field within its own territory, except for this star field, the Canglan civilization has never found this kind of Wangtian tree in other places, and there is no record of the Wangtian tree transplanted to other star fields.

It is precisely because of the rarity and particularity of this kind of Wangtian tree that the earth's civilization did not have the expectation of being able to find this plant from the beginning.

With the vastness of the Canglan civilization, this special tree species has only been found in one star field, and even in the process of studying and analyzing this Wangtian tree, the Canglan civilization has suspected countless times that this special plant may have undergone special treatment and transformation by some civilizations, which gives it this unique ability to biologically treat metal materials.

It's just that although there are quite doubts about this Wangtian Tree, after studying the Canglan Civilization for a long time, there are no useful results, and the Canglan Civilization can't make any too powerful analysis of the unique characteristics of the Wangtian Tree, so slowly there is no too in-depth research on the Canglan Civilization of the Wangtian Tree.

Imagine such a special tree species that even the Canglan civilization suspects to be artificially modified, where can the earth civilization find it in this meteorite star sea?

In fact, the Earth civilization collected all the large plants that existed in the meteorite star sea, but in the end, they did not find the slightest shadow similar to the Wangtian Tree.

Among the scientific and technological data of the Canglan civilization obtained by the earth civilization, various scientific and technological problems and bottlenecks similar to this superconducting alloy material can be said to have long been commonplace.

The technology of the interstellar civilization level, the technical branches that can be easily absorbed and broken through, the earth civilization has already made a breakthrough, and the remaining bottlenecks can be said to be facing many problems that are very similar to superconducting alloys.

Many resources and many of them in the Canglan civilization have long been considered effective solutions, but the earth civilization here is facing the dilemma of not having the foundation to achieve it, and it is undoubtedly unrealistic to directly use some scientific and technological means of the Canglan civilization.

In many cases, the earth civilization relies on the ideas and principles of the Canglan civilization to solve some problems, looking for alternatives within its own capabilities, and looking for alternatives to solve some problems that cannot be solved.

But this kind of thing is always easy to say, and it is so difficult to do that it is shockingly difficult.

It's like the kind of microbial strain needed to smelt superconducting alloys, not to mention that it is difficult for the earth civilization to find a suitable substitute, that is, the original Canglan civilization was finally able to find this suitable raw material processing process, which was all trial and error countless times before the process was finalized, and the time, energy, resources, etc. spent were already an extremely staggering number.

Behind this final plan, Canglan Civilization has millions of similar process plans, and there are countless adjustments to the entire program process for any small detail.

Now the earth civilization wants to find an alternative, just to find a similar microbial strain according to the map, which is simply not enough, because the earth civilization can not find a completely suitable microbial strain, in the case that many basic indicators are difficult to meet, the earth civilization can only expand the scope of screening to complete the project.

Therefore, in order to solve the superconducting alloy project, the earth civilization needs to follow the technical scheme of the Canglan civilization in the past, almost retry the whole set, experiment with countless materials, countless schemes, and after countless trials and errors, it is possible to finally get a mature finalized scheme.

Although the whole project has an inherently complex guiding theory, with many data calculation models, but in fact, it is difficult to guess what materials are suitable in the end, and what kind of biological treatment process should be looked for, in this process of trial and error, like the wizard's configuration of potions, is full of countless unreliable, many times it is pure bumps, relying on luck to promote the progress of the project.

In the current scientific research field of the earth's civilization, there are millions of projects such as superconducting alloys, each project has a huge bottleneck, and every year of scientific research experiments requires an incomparably huge amount of resources, and I don't know how long it will take to have a final result.

It is conceivable that the cost of a scientific research project is already extremely amazing, and millions of cutting-edge projects are added together, even the earth civilization is also a little overwhelmed, and the annual scientific research expenditure occupies a considerable proportion of the overall expenditure of the earth civilization, and it takes thousands of years of time and thousands of years of continuous investment to solve a series of problems.

If there is no more information to learn from, and more mature technologies to accelerate the process, it will probably take tens of thousands of years for the earth civilization to take a breakthrough step.

Fortunately, now the earth civilization has captured the steel battle star, and obtained some mature scientific and technological information from the steel war star, these technologies are based on the environment and resources of the meteorite star sea, and the earth civilization has ready-made experience to learn from, and the difficulty of making a corresponding breakthrough is too small, which is simply too great for the help of the earth civilization.
