Road to science and technology

Chu Yan didn't pay attention to the rest of Qin Huali's words, but he keenly heard the nightmarish name of Zonic, "Business opportunity? Zonic, are you saying that civilization needs to build Zonic?"

"Yes, this is no secret. This place has long been planned to be the manufacturing base of the Sophon Project. By then, many spaceships, many technicians, and many people who are familiar with the 'welding' process of gravity junctions will definitely be used. There are many of these people They are all strengtheners of the body of a generation, so they should be able to sell for a fortune when the time comes."

Qin Huali was obviously an insider. After all, one of the scientists on this project was his teacher. However, he pondered for a moment and said, "But they changed their minds a long time ago."

"Changed your mind? Don't want to make it?" Chu Yan asked.

Zhuo Wen also looked at Qin Huali.

"As for the sophon project, originally they wanted to transform protons to create sophons, but for some unknown reason, it seems that sophons are positively charged. Charged microscopic particles are easily disturbed by strong magnetic fields, which can cause problems. They are too easy to be affected. Targeted.”

Sophons can be shielded. In fact, in the later stages of the Earth world, humans have been able to create sophon shielding rooms.

"What?"

Zhuo Wen was shocked, as was Chu Yan, who was very scientifically literate. They had been surprised when they heard that the sophon project was going to be carried out just now, but they were only slightly surprised. After all, the sophon can even create the three-body civilization that they were beaten by. It can be concluded that it does not seem very strange to them that the Shenzhou civilization can create.

Moreover, Qin Huali’s words also show that it’s not that they can’t make it, but they don’t want to make it because they feel that Sophon is too easy to target!

"So they seem to be creating neutrons instead. After all, neutrons are uncharged and are more difficult to defend or shield. Unless there is a civilization with a unified theory, there is no way to create neutrons that can shield and transform into an intelligent state." Qin Huali Technology said.

Now Chu Yan and Zhuo Wen are still thinking about the previous sentence: Sophons are too easily targeted because they are positively charged.

It took a long time to react, and even the people who had just flown down from the city to buy fuel turned a blind eye.

After the guy who bought the fuel had bought the fuel and took off again, Zhuo Wen, who had always been a science officer, woke up. They were no longer unfamiliar with the superhuman Shenzhou civilization individuals, so he immediately asked what he had not heard clearly.

After Qin Huali reiterated the need to create neutrons, Zhuo Wen frowned and said: "How is it possible? Unlike stable protons, neutrons are very stable in the nucleus, but the lifespan of a single free neutron is only about Over eight hundred and nine hundred seconds!”

The average lifetime of a free neutron plays an important role in nuclear physics, particle physics and cosmology. It allows astrophysicists to calculate how much hydrogen, helium and other light elements were created in the first minutes after the Big Bang. The faster neutrons decay into protons during that period, the fewer neutrons are later used to form helium nuclei.

The average lifespan of a neutron in a free state is indeed very short. It can decay into a proton through weak interaction, emitting an electron and an antineutrino to become a proton.

"Yes, the lifetime of free neutrons is very short, so they have been studying how to solve this problem since they proposed this plan!" Qin Huali said.

"Solved?" Zhuo Wen said eagerly: "How is this possible? As far as I know, only when the nucleus is crowded with protons, the presence of a positive electric repulsion barrier can make it stable without decay. After all, it If it decays at this time, another positively charged proton will be formed, which will make the matter positively charged, so the universe prevents it from decaying in order to make matter uncharged. But a single free neutron will definitely decay!"

Yes, a single free neutron will definitely decay. This is a natural thing in the universe, just like one plus one equals two.

Now this guy dressed like an ancient person, no, this is indeed an ancient person. This guy actually said that the Shenzhou civilization now chose to overcome this difficulty for the sake of intelligent neutron engineering.

"It should be soon!" Qin Huali said with certainty.

"Where are we now?" Zhuo Wen asked eagerly. As a scientific researcher, nothing excites him more than these.

However, Qin Huali did not directly answer his words. Instead, he said that he would talk about it later and motioned for them to follow him first.

So Chu Yan and others followed Qin Huali into the city. As they went deeper, the number of people in the city gradually increased, and now they knew why there were not many hovercars.

Because these people all fly by themselves, and generally those who drive hovercars cannot fly. Through the mouth of Qiao Huali, they gradually learned about the general situation of this city. There are no holographic walls in the city, and there are no advertisements that can be played. toilet paper, but it is filled with various deformable metals.

And the things sold by some shops gradually entered their minds. In addition to the many types of fuel, the most popular ones were various or customized personal computers, including combat-type plug-in computers and scientific research-type computers. , the appearance can also be customized at will.

Now they understand what Qin Huali's sword is. It is completely a personal preference. Some people have sunglasses for their external computers, some have watches, and there are also books and clothes.

What's more, it's actually in the shape of a corset. It made Reiko Akihara want to get one, but she thought that she didn't have built-in AI, so she held back.

They also saw a company called Super Gene Co., Ltd. After asking, they found out that this company specializes in installing gene engines for people. There are also companies that specialize in selling built-in gene-mounted AI, or Shangzhi body enhancement-related companies. , such as the first generation cold fusion engine and the first generation cell nuclear factory.

Qin Huali also introduced them to a company that specializes in enhanced route consulting.

He also emphasized that they must think carefully before choosing the strengthening route in the future. After all, every route is not cheap, especially for their current situation.

At this time, they passed by a large building. There was a person in front of the building who clicked a few times on the holographic screen that appeared in front of him. Then several things that looked like different types of spheres appeared on the screen. Then he chose one of them, and then Then walked into this building.

"What is he doing?" Akihara Reiko asked, pointing to the people who had walked into the building.

"Oh, this is a store that specializes in selling the 'auxiliary fuel tanks' of Divine Body or Shang Zhibo. Those small round balls are used to store energy in them using the Mustard Seed Naxumi technique, and then these small round balls are installed into the body. The one he just chose should be It is an antimatter-to-super-energy generating device." Qin Huali said thoughtfully, "A breakthrough has been made in the application of super-energy in carbon-based life? When did this happen!"

"Put such a big thing in your body? Or antimatter? This..." Akihara Reiko felt a cold wind blowing by, as if a disaster was about to happen here.

"Don't worry, it's very safe," Qin Huali said nonchalantly, "This thing is very high-end, but it's troublesome to refill the energy every time. You must have supporting equipment. As for the size you mentioned, there's no need to worry about it. The thing is only the size of a molecule."

"How can such a small person transmit energy? It's too exaggerated to put it in the body!" Zhuo Wen couldn't help but say.

"I don't know about that!" Qin Huali shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.

Of course he didn't know, because this was originally a very expensive thing, and of course it is also very expensive now, but it is just cheaper than when there was no sophon technology.

This thing was only developed recently. The difficulty lies in energy transmission, which was only realized after the latitude expansion and folding technology was recently obtained.

The device that uses space storage to convert the annihilation of matter and antimatter into super energy is encapsulated in the Mustard Naxumi equipment, and then uses dimensional technology to transmit these super energies to itself.

This is just one of them. Some advanced Mustard Naxumi packaging equipment directly integrates all the equipment needed to synthesize super energy, that is, space equipment for synthesizing warp crystals, dark matter storage equipment, soul wave generators, and useful The warp crystal is processed using the space-time matrix method to become a super energy device.

In other words, if this advanced equipment is installed, then this person can find some kind of dark matter like a cultivator, and then he can use this equipment to use his own soul fluctuations or other people's soul fluctuations to add this dark matter and process it. It is turned into warp crystal and then processed into super energy, and finally used.

At this time, unless the person wants to change to a larger space such as the advanced integrated Mustard Naxumi space, there is no need to disassemble and assemble each time he adds energy. After directly collecting the dark matter, he can add it using dark matter operating equipment.
