"Everyone, please use your brains and think about it. How do you generate a larger and stronger magnetic field? It is impossible for conventional materials to produce such a super magnetic field."

Among them, the most important technology belongs to a new material based on subatomic technology, which is called supermagnetic—A!

"Supermagnetic-A" is a material composed of a series of "subatoms" arranged regularly. From a theoretical point of view, subatoms exist for a very, very short time, quickly decaying into regular particles that can exist for a long time.

But in the accelerator, due to the benefits of relativity, the time of subatoms moving at high speed, even close to the speed of light, can be greatly extended, so that the speed of manufacturing "supermagnetism-A" can be greater than the speed of decay, so that it can exist stably.

A new class of subatomic materials was born.

Materials that can only exist in accelerators are simply unimaginable and stunned!

"The most important thing is that this material can generate a huge magnetic field when it is formed. This huge is really huge, far beyond the super magnetic field of ordinary materials..."

The uses of the super magnetic field are too great, not to mention the plasma industry, but more importantly - it can be used to manufacture interstellar ramjet engines, that is, Barsad ramjet engines, and... electromagnetic shields!

Although the universe is empty, the interstellar space is still filled with a small number of particles, and most of these particles are hydrogen nuclei. If a magnetic field generator is used to collect these hydrogen atoms and add up, these hydrogen atoms will become the best engine working fluid and nuclear fuel.

If this interstellar ramjet technology is adopted on a large scale, the nuclear fuel that Kunlun Mountain needs to carry will be greatly reduced, and more tonnage can be freed up for the development of other industries.

"Look, everyone!" Professor Dennis Jin waved his hand excitedly, and the staff members rolled out a giant object, which caused a small exclamation from below.

On stage is a small spiral particle accelerator!

Zhang Yuan, who was sitting under the stage, immediately asked nervously: "Professor, you won't make a super magnetic-A here, right... All of us will be killed by the super magnetic field!"

As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of wild goosebumps, and some reporters wanted to run away after hearing the news.

Killing people with a super magnetic field is so easy, even so powerful that it can interfere with the bioelectricity in the human brain, yet this professor actually wants to conduct experiments without any protection?

The professor smiled slightly: "No, no, don't worry, I'm just doing a subatomic demonstration, I'm not stupid enough to kill myself..."

"What's more, we haven't figured out the subatomic arrangement of supermagnetic A..."

"But we can be sure that the exploration of subatomic aspects is the real threshold of the third-level civilization! Whether it is industrial or military strength, there will be a qualitative change!"

"Everyone, come on!"

...

After the entire scientific meeting ended, Zhang Yuan came out in a daze.

The development of science is becoming more and more refined. Although he is strengthening his study every day, he can only understand a general idea at most.

But it was just such a rough idea that made him very excited.

The subatomic research is not without breakthroughs, and human beings have a lot to learn from, including that piece of high-dimensional fragments that has not been researched for a long time.

Once all kinds of subatomic materials beyond the conventional appear on a large scale, there is no doubt that... a brand new era will be ushered in!

"It's just that a population of 8 million is a bit too small. Even though most of them are scientific researchers, it's still too small... Kunlun Mountain can accommodate a population of 12 million, but the entire population growth process should not be too fast."

"Even with a population of 12 million, it's still a bit small. It will be very troublesome to build the next Kunlun Mountain. It would be even better if we wait until the industry is upgraded."

Just thinking about it while walking, even though I still have various problems, I am still in a good mood.

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt someone pat on his shoulder, and when he looked up, Lin Xuanxuan just came out of the medical report meeting and was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"What are you doing, you stay in a daze all day long, and you don't look ahead when you walk!"

Zhang Yuandao: "I'm in a good mood, otherwise I would be frowning, then sighing, distressed, not knowing the way ahead, and worrying about when human beings will suddenly perish. This is the captain's day and night."

Since cracking the memories of the Badit people, humans have really gained a lot.

This knowledge includes a full range of content from all walks of life, including physics, mathematics, biology, materials, and so on.

It turns out that these guys still have so many things hidden!

"That's it, you're as happy as a fairy... You seem to have been sleeping in the captain's cabin without going home for several days?" Lin Xuanxuan was a little sullen.

Zhang Yuan was not embarrassed, he quickly grabbed her hand and tried to change the subject, "By the way, you are hungry, let's go eat something together... There is a new restaurant that we haven't eaten yet?"

Lin Xuanxuan snorted coldly, then trotted all the way to follow.

Zhang Yuan said casually: "Is the medical meeting over? I have a question to ask you...Why do these Badit people live so long? Five or six thousand years of life, I really can't even envy them."

"According to the analysis of this civilization according to the history of new civilizations, it is because of such a long lifespan that Badit can easily adapt to interstellar voyages. Just like the age of human exploration, five or six hundred years of voyage is only a very Short struggle time. Otherwise, based on their ideology, they would have been constrained by money and capitalism long ago."

Capitalism is a big reason for the mediocrity of many civilizations.

However, the Badit people are different, because their innate lifespan is too long, and they can easily adapt to the era of great interstellar navigation...

In fact, their social levels, including their social systems, are quite mediocre, even in the monarchy period of the first industrial revolution of mankind, and there is not much for mankind to learn from.

Humans really don't understand why there are races with such a long innate lifespan...

"It's really the darling of the universe, and the race value is too high." Zhang Yuan shook his head, and human life extension technology has so far entered a bottleneck period, and it is difficult to break through again.

"Why this species is long-lived and why this species is short-lived is a comprehensive question that cannot be explained in just one or two sentences." Lin Xuanxuan said playfully. "Bring me a BQ ice cream, and I'll tell you in detail!"

"BQ ice cream, so expensive!" Zhang Yuan was a little bit reluctant in his heart, and suddenly sneered, "I still eat ice cream at such an old age, and I'm still like a child. Now I should pay attention to health preservation. If I don't do health care now, I will be older." Bitter taste."

"You are the uncle, you are the... grandpa!" Lin Xuanxuan said angrily.

But she felt a little sad in her heart, yes, with the passage of time, youth is long gone, and she has gradually entered the middle-aged stage. Looking back on the past years, before I knew it, so many years had passed. Wrinkles have appeared on the face, and the skin is no longer as radiant as before... Who doesn't have this time?

"Let's go, little girl, I invite you to eat." Zhang Yuan realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly admitted his mistake with a smile.

Sure enough, Lin Xuanxuan snorted, and then laughed again.

The two walked into a restaurant, and after ordering food, the robot service staff quickly delivered the dinner.

"cheers!"

The wine glasses touched lightly, Zhang Yuan took a sip of the red wine, and asked: "I have been studying for so many years, and there is still no result... If this continues, only your medical research has no results, and you are still eating the earth." My boss..."

Lin Xuanxuan shook her head, "If you don't have it, you won't have it. Who said there must be results? In terms of lifespan, people on Earth have already dug the ground very cleanly. Unless you improve your intelligence, you can go to the next step."

"Badit people are indeed very different from human beings... Their longevity basically doesn't really have much reference value for us, and can only be used as a bionic material."

"How should I put it...the body structure is a bit like starfish on Earth, and all individuals are hermaphroditic. Same-sex reproduction, you know."

Same-sex reproduction, that is to say, individuals in this civilization are male and female, can mate and reproduce with each other, and can also clone themselves. In short, every individual can reproduce.

For the Badit, the germ cells are stored on the tentacles next to the head, and the best etiquette between them is to exchange germ cells.

The reproductive behavior is also very simple. Fertilized eggs develop in the tentacles, just like starfish splitting, giving birth to a young individual, which is then naturally raised by the mother.

Because of this breeding situation, Badit people cannot feel such things as love, and there is no so-called mating pleasure. But Badit people have maternal love, whether it is the traditional etiquette and moral level, or the instinctive level, they all ask to raise their children.

The reason for the fanatical pursuit of profit is that the cost of raising children is very high, and a Badit can have at most 500 children in a long period of time. This requires them to earn all the money when they are young and provide better education for their children so that they can enjoy family happiness in their later years.

Otherwise, even if there are a lot of children, they will all be inferior people.

Speaking of the history of the Badit people, it is quite interesting. This race was born on the distant Badit star-a planet with a rather harsh living environment.

Badit Star has thin air, frequent volcanic eruptions, and large temperature difference between day and night. The entire environment is similar to Mars. Most of the water resources are concentrated in the north and south poles. From the perspective of humans, it is simply a hell among the worst.

Such a harsh living environment has led to extremely fierce competition among species on Badit Star, and all species develop horizontally in two directions: the first is short-lived species, usually simple life, and this type of life has a very strong reproductive ability , can be quickly updated, and adapt to harsh and changeable environments through quantitative advantages.

The second is the rare long-lived species. These species can rely on their strong bodies to become more and more perfect, and adapt to all harsh environments by virtue of their quality advantages.

The Badit people are undoubtedly the best among them. As the darling of the planet, they can adapt to various adverse environments, have excellent reproductive ability, and possess wisdom!

The so-called self-breeding function evolved precisely because the environment was too harsh, and it was easy to find a breeding partner.

Naturally, the Baditers stand out on this planet...

But even later, with the development of technology, the encounters in the primitive period have always affected the ideology of the Badit people. They yearn for benefits and a better life. This desire is far stronger than humans. Let them easily fall into the trap of capitalism.

Even in the interstellar era, the instinctive profit-seeking nature still cannot be changed, so a very peculiar commercial civilization has been developed... From a certain perspective, especially the perspective of social system, this civilization is not much better than human beings, It is only by relying on the "race value" that is far stronger than human beings that it has developed to the present, which is enviable and enviable.

Zhang Yuan asked: "I have another question. How did this kind of longevity species evolve? Since it is a longevity species, it means that their update and iteration speed is very slow, and their evolution will naturally become slow. In this case Now, how can it evolve to be perfect? ​​Is it a relationship of good luck?"

"This has always been a biological difficulty." Lin Xuanxuan replied seriously: "With the existing information, it is really difficult to explain why this phenomenon occurs, as if it happened for no reason. Moreover, Buddy The special people are still slowly evolving, and the life expectancy is getting longer from generation to generation, which is really strange..."

"One generation is longer than one generation? This seems to be no problem." Zhang Yuan wondered: "Because science and technology are developing! Just like human beings, they lived for a few years in primitive times and died at the age of 20 or 30. Now they can live They are three hundred years old. No matter how long their lives are, they still want to live longer, which is not difficult to understand."

"The problem I mentioned is not what you understand."

Lin Xuanxuan hurriedly said: "Badit civilization also has its own archaeological history. In the archaeological fossils discovered from our own planet 150,000 years ago, the genetic material of the ancestors is very different from the modern one, and the life span is only a hundred years. Yes, the gap between a hundred years and thousands of years is really too big, it seems that a qualitative change has suddenly occurred!"

"In other words, 150,000 years ago, an intelligent and long-lived individual was suddenly born from the population!

"Because the survival superiority of this individual is too strong, all subsequent individuals are his descendants."

"There is such a thing? Isn't it too strange? Really..." Zhang Yuan pricked up his ears, "What is the reason?"

Lin Xuanxuan explained: "...Some Badit people believe that under the influence of cosmic radiation, this ancestor was very lucky to have a series of genetic mutations, and all of these mutations were benign."

"There are still some people who believe that it is the result of genetic modification by alien civilizations, because this kind of change is too great, natural birth is not impossible, but the probability is extremely small. But the Badit people have not found evidence of genetic modification .If there is such an alien civilization, its scientific and technological strength must be far stronger than that of the Badit civilization."

"However, we humans will never know the result, because there are no archaeologists among the captured Badit people, and their understanding of this period of history is limited to some basic common sense."

Speaking of this, Lin Xuanxuan sighed quietly, if she could know, who wouldn't want to know?

Unfortunately, this has become an unsolved mystery.

After chatting about this, the dinner was basically over, and Zhang Yuan ordered another dessert with unfulfilled desire. Basically, their conversations are similar to what they are now. They are already old couples. Is it really the same as boys and girls, can't they talk about love?

Zhang Yuan sighed: "The unique history has created a unique culture, which is really interesting. Let alone the various harvests that can be obtained during the whole trip, even if you spend your whole life wandering in the starry sky and rushing on the road, just to witness the next second The miracle of ... I also found it quite interesting, and I don't regret it."

Lin Xuanxuan cupped her face in both hands, "Mr. Zhang Yuan, the great philosopher, started expressing his emotions again...

"I don't know why, this time is always the most attractive time, maybe it's because you've been brainwashed. How about we spend the next life together?"

"Next life?" Zhang Yuan suddenly reached out and ruffled the other party's hair, seeing the slightly annoyed look in the other party's eyes, he burst out laughing.
