"Sister, now you should understand that although the extraction of the No. 17 element itself is very difficult, and it can only be used by a limited number of innate masters and martial arts geniuses with very, very excellent qualifications, it is still the reason for the future of the real human race, right?" Chen Yue said to Chen Suping.

"Understood, sister completely understood. Xiao Yue, sister didn't expect that your Star Group had secretly prepared so much for the fate of human beings on the earth. The leadership of your Star Group is truly great. Chen Suping said sincerely.

"Sister, in fact, where is what you say so good. It's just that 'there are no eggs under the nest'. If the earth falls into the hands of alien races, our Star Group will have no power to return to the sky. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the disaster has not happened yet, and think of a way to deal with the disaster in advance, so that the disaster does not become a reality. Chen Yue spread his hands and said frankly.

"By the way, Xiao Yue, didn't you say that the 'Yuan Qi Pill' you secretly created some time ago was an auxiliary cultivation substance that could also allow innate masters to advance to the Gangjin Stage?

Chen Yue smiled.

"Sister, the Yuanqi Pill certainly has the possibility of allowing the innate master to cross the big level, but the effect is relatively slow, and the probability is relatively low, which is inseparable from the personal situation of the innate master. With the Yuan Qi Pill alone, when the alien race arrives, there will only be a maximum of three or five Gangjin Stage superpowers on the entire earth. The possibility of these three or five Gangjin period martial artists being able to succeed is not impossible, but it is quite small. Element 17 is different. As long as they are innate masters, with the help of element 17, they have a great possibility of being able to cross the big level and become a super powerhouse in the Gangjin period. Chen Yue explained.

Chen Suping nodded. Only now did she fully understand.

And the central elders also understand it thoroughly.

But in reality, they still don't understand. Because in the matter of seaside construction, what Chen Yue said now is the truth, but Chen Yue still hasn't told everything.

The most important point that Chen Yue did not say was that the scientific research team led by Zhou Yuan was not only extracting Element 17 I and Element 17 itself from seawater, but also extracting all the minerals in seawater.

In other desalination projects on the planet, the minerals in the seawater are not extracted, but the cost is too great to outweigh the losses, so the minerals can only be returned to the sea with waste.

In Zhou Yuan's scientific research group, this is not the case at all.

After the Chinese military built these strange structures and installed some general machinery in their place, they no longer know the details of these buildings.

According to the drawings provided by the company, Zhou Yuan's team made some very special mechanical instruments and installed them in these strange buildings.

Huaguo Star has gathered so many scientific researchers, among which there are naturally scientific research groups that conduct mechanical manufacturing research and basic materials research. So as long as there are drawings, it doesn't take much effort to make any machinery in small batches.

There are so many scientific research teams in the research area of Jasper City, and the special equipment they need is made separately. Anyway, as long as there is manufacturing capacity, Huaguo Star will never consider the issue of cost. And the manufacturing drawings given by Xiaoqian never make mistakes.

When seawater passes through these odd-shaped 'pipes', almost all the mineral ions in the seawater are adsorbed out and enter the special equipment under the action of a special electric magnetic field.

In a special instrument, they will polymerize under the action of a special magnetic field frequency, reduce to the original appearance of the corresponding substance, and be collected together by the corresponding container.

It can be said that there are hardly any minerals in the "waste seawater" that is re-discharged into the sea after the desalination process is completed. The 'waste seawater' that is discharged back into the sea is actually pure fresh water, which is used to hide people's ears.

From the official operation of these strange buildings, Jasper City will not be short of natural resources. Because all the substances on the periodic table can be found in seawater, but the content is somewhat different. The endless ocean water is the mining field of Jasper City.

Of course, on the bright side, for the natural resources needed for research, which can be bought with money in the outside world, Jasper City still has to spend money to buy.

These things are still the top secret of Jasper City, and only the scientific research team led by Zhou Yuan who is responsible for the operation of the strange building knows about it. These are the people who have been selected into the 'True Dragon Project'. Whether it is from themselves or from the close monitoring of them by Jasper City, there is no danger of leaking this matter in the short term.

And among these people, there is one thing that only Zhou Yuan knows and his team members don't know. The thing is that these strange structures produce a certain amount of a special substance every day - deuterium!

What is deuterium? Deuterium is one of the isotopes of hydrogen and is a material that can be used for nuclear fusion!

There is very little deuterium that occurs naturally on Earth, and it is basically dissolved in the endless amount of seawater. Scientific studies have shown that although the amount of deuterium contained in one liter of seawater is negligible, it is these almost negligible deuterium reactions that can release the same energy as a few liters of gasoline if they produce a fusion reaction!

Among them, the most critical issue is not the amount of energy content, but the problem of energy density.

The energy density of the energy released by the fusion reaction is several grades higher than that of gasoline. Only the release of energy density at the fusion level can initially satisfy the superluminal state of the space battleship's engine to break through the void and enter the warp speed.

The earth science and technology community has estimated that the number of deuterium contained in the endless sea water is tens of trillions of tons. If these deuteriums can be used, they will be enough for hundreds of millions of years of human use. It's a pity that although humans can now extract deuterium from seawater, it takes more energy to extract one gram of deuterium than 100 grams of deuterium fusion.

People are naturally reluctant to do such a loss-making thing.

People can only wait until the development of science and technology to a certain extent, and the means of extracting deuterium can outweigh the losses, and then the deuterium in seawater can be exploited and utilized.

And now, Huaguo Starry Sky Jade City has done it in a state of silence.

Jasper City's extraction of deuterium is quite efficient. The relevant instruments and facilities for extracting deuterium only need a huge amount of electrical energy at the moment of start-up. However, after start-up, it does not consume too much energy to maintain the operating state. During its operation, the ultra-high frequency magnetic field generated by it will absorb all the deuterium ions in the seawater passing through it into a special chamber. There, all the deuterium ions go through a series of conversion processes before being turned into finished products and stored well.

In this extraction process, the cost-effectiveness ratio reaches an extremely staggering one-thousandth. In other words, if Jasper City pays one energy, it can get a thousand deuterium elements in return!

This is actually the energy extraction technology of an authentic Level 1 civilization.

When the earth's civilization as a whole was still at level 0.7 or 0.8 in the cosmic civilization hierarchy, Jade City took the lead in realizing the energy extraction technology of the level 1 civilization.

At a time when Jasper City had not yet succeeded in researching cold nuclear fusion, Chen Yue could only use the electricity provided in reality to provide energy. However, as soon as the cold nuclear fusion is successful, the deuterium extracted from the seawater will immediately turn into energy, supporting Jasper City to extract more deuterium from the seawater.

This is a virtuous circle that is extremely worthy of Chen Yue's expectations.

The endless mineral element and the endless deuterium were the deeper secrets hidden under the 17th element, which only Chen Yue and a small number of relevant personnel in the True Dragon Project knew.

Especially about deuterium, only Chen Yue and Zhou Yuan, who directly handled it, knew about it. Chen Yue hadn't told anyone else about this, and naturally he wouldn't talk about it to Chen Suping now.

In the future, when the time comes, these technologies will definitely be exposed to the human beings on the earth. Because only with relatively sufficient natural material resources and relatively sufficient energy can human beings on earth build space warships and carry out interstellar navigation.

Otherwise, interstellar voyages would have been a fantasy only by virtue of the exploitable natural resources on the surface of the land, and the electrical energy, chemical energy, and even nuclear fission energy now used.

These deep secrets hidden behind the No. 17 element, if Chen Yue didn't take the initiative to tell it, Chen Suping would never know. Chen Suping now asked Chen Yue another question.

"Xiao Yue, the relevant technology of Element 17 I, you have all announced. But what about the No. 17 element itself? Will you choose to make public the relevant technology in this regard? Or will it be like the Genki Pill, where the technology is only in your hands, and you directly provide the finished product to the state?" asked Chen Suping.

For this problem, Chen Yue already had a plan in his heart.
