Douluo See You For a Long Time

After choosing something similar to a tape to enter this world, they tried many materials and found that unexpectedly, water turned out to be the most suitable material for recording their information. Under normal circumstances, water is not suitable for recording information. In our daily lives, water can only exist in a solid state at very low temperatures. Even if it is a solid state, it is not very stable.

But the water we encounter in our daily life in this world is actually ice. And it is not easy to melt water. In the early days, they had to use the high temperature of magma. Even now, it is very difficult to turn cold water into liquid by heating. In other words, for this world, water is like the steel we encounter. Even if you hold it in your hand or even in your heart, it will not melt.

The water on weekdays is extremely cold and hard. We don’t have to worry about anything in daily life turning it into liquid, just like we don’t have to worry about the steel stacked outside accidentally melting in the sun. Not to mention melting due to the sun, even in a forest fire, the steel will not melt at all during the burning.

The same is true for the water in this world, water that solidifies into a solid state. It also has its own unique advantages in storing information. Water itself is a kind of crystal, and with a little guidance during the crystallization process, the structure inside the crystal can show a regular structure. These rules can be controlled by oneself.

In other words, the ice can be made to show a specific regular structure during the solidification process. It's just that the thing produced in this way is not a tape, but something similar to a CD. People in this world also thought that they could easily store and read out large amounts of information through rotation. This structure can store more information in a relatively small space.

So the water disc of this world was born. It's just that this disc is similar to the discs in our real world. It is difficult to change the information after entering it.

This aspect will definitely have flaws in the fields of computers and other fields in the future and will be replaced by other things. After all, the characteristics of steel and other things in this world are the same, and semiconductors will not be much different. Things like chips can also be invented in the future. So far, water discs have only temporarily replaced them. Although semiconductors are also affected by temperature, they are more difficult to use underwater. But if the server base station is placed on the ground, it is still possible to use only a small amount of chips underwater. Moreover, the use of special semiconductors in special environments can also achieve good results, such as if it is in an extremely high temperature environment in water. Can try. Other semiconductors of the same species as silicon, such as carbon or germanium, may be able to achieve better results.

The reserves of both elements on this planet are not small. It is entirely possible to develop computers based on these.

With the development of storage devices, this era has gradually developed in the direction of informatization. Although it will take a long time to popularize computing devices, making such information storage devices easier to make and easier to read. But after the first step has been taken, this era has begun and is rolling forward. Although the number of people driving the development of this era is not large, as time goes by, the number of people will gradually increase. The area they currently occupy actually adds up to hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Compared to this planet, it can only be regarded as an inconspicuous corner. After all, in this world of ice and snow, it is very difficult to travel to distant places, and their initial location is actually quite good, very close to the ocean, and traveling long distances in the ocean is much easier for people in this world. Quite a few. They have even begun to establish supply points on the surface of the ocean.

The so-called supply points are actually pipes for obtaining air.

Pipelines were built one after another on the ice. These pipes do. Used for ventilation. Humans are now trying to build submarines that can sail in the water for long periods of time. These submarines can replenish themselves by connecting to ventilation ports on the ice.

Similarly, during underwater navigation, these submarines will also carve their own paths during the navigation. In the process of surviving underwater, the most precious thing that humans can use is actually the ice cap above their heads. This thing can let the sun shine down without falling from the sky. One cave after another can be dug out at the bottom of these ice caps. People can completely create cavities and connections with air one after another underwater. Connected to pipes on the ground. Then the huge temperature difference between the water under the water and the air above drives the operation of the Stirling engine, creating a large fan to circulate the air under the ice surface with the air above the ice surface. This ensures that there is enough oxygen under the ice for humans to breathe.

This project is the next construction plan. In the future, humans will immigrate to the bottom of the ice sheet on a large scale.

Dig out an urban area here, and if you live here, you can build floating islands one after another on the water under the ice cap. Because there is water below, life here can be quite comfortable, in a warm and comfortable environment. You can rest in the environment, and when working, you can directly leave your house and enter the water below to work, and you don't need to spend a lot of energy to mine the ice on the surface like in a cave.

In today's ocean, the entire bottom is filled with pools.

As for this large amount of water, it will also emit a large amount of heat, and in the passage leading to the ice surface, the temperature difference between the cold air and the heated water surface can provide energy for human development.

Although it is a little more troublesome than using the energy of magma, it needs to draw the cold air from the sky first, but the Stirling engine that completes the air extraction uses the temperature difference to complete the work. Basically, the cold air can be circulated by hanging up. For humans living here, it is not too difficult. The cold air will circulate in the pipes under the ice cap and circulate to various industrial areas. Through the industrial area, the temperature difference between the cold air and the water surface allows the power machinery in this world to work.

So the power machinery of this world looks very interesting. Each one floats on the water like a buoy. The upper part is the cooling system and the lower part is the heating system. Some are floating on magma. In the ocean, they naturally float on the water.

While the hot water below heats the engine, the cold air above flows over and cools it down. Where there is a temperature difference, humans are often able to extract energy through the temperature difference. Although the extraction efficiency of the engine in front of me is not particularly high, if it relies on the transmission shaft to connect to the underwater, a huge floating platform will be needed to assist in stabilizing the structure. Ensure that the floating structure will not roll back and forth on the water. But this is already a quite favorable environment for humans in this world.

Living in such a special world, humans in this world have never thought of providing themselves with energy through the heat of fuel combustion. In a normal world, the temperature difference required for the energy used by these power machines should come more from the energy released by the combustion of burning materials.

After all, if energy is obtained through combustion, then various power machines can be quite portable and can be taken everywhere. In this world, the use of high temperatures underwater for energy extraction is actually similar to using solar energy on earth. , wind energy or water energy.

Humans have a long history of utilizing these energies, but an important reason why they are gradually being eliminated and marginalized by fossil energy is that they are not portable enough.

Whether they use wind power or water power, they cannot install it on a car and let people drive it around. There is no way to miniaturize it. Perhaps it is indeed possible to drive a car using solar energy, but a considerable number of industries must be supported to develop batteries in order for the car to be fully charged. Even after charging is completed, it is impossible to charge and run under wired solar energy. It will take a long time to charge before it can travel a certain distance. And when charging, you will most likely have to stop and expand the solar panels further to absorb enough light energy.

So this is a huge limitation for humans in that world. More fossil energy is being mined, and the development of new energy sources will not be considered until the technology develops to a high enough level, the difficulty of utilizing various natural energy sources begins to decrease, and the ability to store energy is strong enough.

This world is relatively different, that is, high-temperature water can be found relatively easily, and magma is also relatively common. This means that although the use of this energy is still limited by terrain, it does not have as many restrictions as the use of water power or wind power on the earth.

It is precisely because of this world that the entire ocean has high temperatures that can be utilized, and humans are inseparable from water, so there are far fewer restrictions on the energy that must be obtained by using the natural environment. At present, human underwater space is still in the preliminary construction process. But there are already so many underwater vehicles. The Stirling engine is still used, allowing the heat dissipation part to float on the water and the heating part to be placed underwater. The driver does not need to provide any additional energy. These speedboat-like boats can travel at high speeds. When stopping, they only need to be put into neutral gear, and the engine does not even need to be turned off.

Of course, considering the issue of material loss, the engine must still be turned off if it is not used for a long time.

But that's it. As long as there is water, these speedboats can drive automatically. They can be said to be the most convenient means of transportation underwater. In this situation where humans can move forward at high speed underwater without any fuel, human development on the water is far more promising than development on land. The only problem is probably that in this special underwater environment, it is very difficult to develop. It is difficult to find minerals. Even if minerals can be found, most of them are probably in liquid form. Before mining these minerals that have been melted into liquid state, most of them still need to rely on transporting minerals from the land.

Even so, the water is too suitable for human development. The only problem is probably to maintain the solidity of these ice caps as much as possible. Initially, humans should have developed along the coastline and strengthened the ice caps near the coastline.

In previous explorations, it was not discovered how deep it was under the ice cap. As humans conducted more explorations, they gradually figured out how deep beneath the ice sheet they were underwater. In fact, it is only a few hundred meters deep, but the previous rope was not long enough.

After determining the depth, the engineering team on the human side decided to build pillars under the ice sheets to support the ice sheets. These green pillars can be shortened when necessary, because they noticed that the ice sheet requires a certain degree of buoyancy. Although the part of the ice surface they contact seems to be floating directly on the water and not immersed in the water, if it is from Looking at the overall situation of the entire ocean, a large part of this giant ice block should be immersed in water, just like an iceberg on the sea. This iceberg can only levitate when you are at the beach.

If you continue to move toward the interior of the sea, you will find that the ice surface begins to gradually develop diagonally downward. The water pressure also began to gradually increase, and that part of the ice was soaked in the water, which meant that the pillars only played a certain stabilizing role. What affects the ability of the ice surface to float more is the buoyancy of the ice itself. Because of this, these supporting columns require a certain degree of telescopicity. Otherwise, if the sea level drops, the pillars will be crushed into pieces immediately. No matter how many pillars humans build, it will be impossible to support the entire huge ice block. As for worrying about the ice melting and breaking This is somewhat redundant.

After all, soldiers in this world are like rocks.

The ice layer above the sea surface is actually equivalent to the crust suspended above the magma on the ground for the ocean.

It is true that collisions between plates may cause earthquakes and the like, but the continental plates will melt due to the high temperature on the surface of the magma, so that the plates on the land will fall apart and all humans will sink into the magma. This is a fantasy. No one would worry about this happening, just like the world would not worry about all the ice above the head breaking and melting.
