Super Biotech Empire

"Academician Hu, how is the current research and development progress? Has the service life of the space shuttle device increased?" Chen Lu is currently inspecting the research and development progress of the space shuttle device in the moon's research and development base. This is a very important part of her future plan. Technology, this is the third time she has come here to inspect the progress of research and development.

In fact, Hu Yuanji still had some opinions about the new empire inspecting the progress of the project so frequently, but in order to gain more support, he could only suppress these opinions and work hard. At this time, his hair was messy and he didn't look like a scientist at all. After hearing Chen Lu's question, he also said weakly: "Your Majesty, the service life of the space shuttle device has now been theoretically increased to 500 times. But still There are no experiments, so there will be some discounts on this data."

The research and development of the space shuttle device entered the fast lane after Chen Qiang allocated 10 million Yuan Qi blocks, but all the research and development personnel ignored a very important thing, that is, the materials used to build the device. At this time, the research on materials in the Empire has been very in-depth, so after selecting some relevant materials, the project team conducted the first test run.

The test run was quite successful, but a very important thing made their entire project in danger of dying, that is, the fatigue resistance of the material was not enough. Every use of the space shuttle device needs to store and compress a large amount of energy, and then release it with extremely strong pressure in an instant, and a strong magnetic field will be generated around the entire device.

The material requirements for these actions are too high, so the entire project team began to screen some materials in the existing empire material library. However, it is clear that the materials currently developed by humans are not up to the requirements, so in the end the empire can only use those materials used in the Carlo fleet through bio-smelting and use them again.

Of course, the Imperial Academy of Sciences also organized a group of researchers to reverse engineer these materials, but the various elements that humans have discovered now are too few, so even if the proportions of various materials are analyzed, there is no way to produce them. And to the surprise of these researchers, the materials used in the space shuttle devices on the alien fleet actually contain some energy.

This simply opened up a new era in the world of human materials. After all, materials that can make energy so stable and store for a long time have a wide range of applications on the earth. Many material scientists have also begun to invest in it, in order to reveal the mechanism of this phenomenon and lead a new era of materials. Of course, this is closely related to the space shuttle device, so the empire's investment has once again increased a lot.

Chen Lu still feels a little distressed about this large-scale investment, but for future plans, she can only bite the bullet and continue to invest. As for the result, she didn't expect much, because she was also someone who had worked in the scientific research field before, and knew that a scientific research project was actually a gamble for scientists, and she did the research with the mentality of winning the sky.

Of course, there is still some good news, that is, by collecting some materials from Carlo's fleet, the project team has stored quite a lot of materials. According to the current consumption demand, at least 10,000 space shuttle devices can be built. Solve the material problem, but there is another problem, that is, the fatigue damage strength of the material does not match because of the increase in energy.

Therefore, these days Hu Yuanji has been studying the fatigue resistance of materials and exploring the most suitable ratio of vitality release strength to increase the life of the space shuttle device. After hard work, it can now reach 500 times, which is quite good news. . According to this number of times, theoretically, human beings have been able to open up an area of ​​250 light years around.

Of course, this is only a theoretical number, and if it is actually used, this number will be reduced by at least 30 to 40%. However, humans have already set foot in the region of 100 light years around the solar system.

"According to your current experimental progress and experimental results, how many light-years can you estimate that humans can set foot in outer space?" Chen Lu asked seriously, this is her purpose this time. After getting a definite answer, the future empire will make some preparations for this matter for quite a long time.

Hu Yuanji fell silent at this moment, he knew what his decision this time would bring to the empire. The monarch of the empire actually inspected the same place three times in a period of time, and he was very clear about what this could explain.

However, he still followed the cautious way of a scientist: "One hundred light years is completely fine."

But the pupils in Bai Xin's eyes contracted a little, and he looked at Hu Yuanji with an incredible look. Then he directly retorted: "Old Hu, one hundred light-years is a theoretical number. You must know that deep space navigation requires not only space shuttle devices, but also the construction of spacecraft and various life systems."

This is why Bai Xin does not refute it under such circumstances. If His Majesty really listens to Hu Yuanji, and then goes back and formulates a 100 light-year exploration plan, then I am afraid that by then the spacecraft construction department and all the scientific research departments of the entire empire It will go on and on, and finally consume the wealth that the empire has accumulated with great difficulty over the years on a large scale. If this happens, it will be the beginning of another disaster for the empire.

Moreover, such a large-scale operation will definitely consume a lot of vitality blocks. Don't look at Bai Xin's insistence on developing and testing the space shuttle device driven by vitality in front of Chen Qiang. But he just wanted to experiment, to make some reserves for future improvements, not to put it into use.

"Then, Dean Bai, what age do you think is the most suitable?" Chen Lu said with a smile. At this time, Hu Yuanji's face was flushed and pale.

"Twenty light years at most. If Your Majesty, you plan to open up communication with the outside world, then our empire will not have the ability to protect itself before we are too young." Bai Xin said without the slightest hesitation in his heart. After finishing, he also glanced at Hu Yuanji, his eyes filled with apology.

At this time, Hu Yuanji was also full of regrets. If he really said what Bai Xin said, the number he reported would become a sinner for the empire.

At this time, Chen Lu also stood up and said with a smile: "Since there are only twenty light-years, let's go here first. The project team will continue to study and try to increase the number of uses to more than 5,000 times." After finishing speaking, she got up and left Now, she didn't blame Hu Yuanji and Bai Xin who saw through her plan.
