Super Mothership

It is naturally impossible to use strategic resources, but although Yu Lao and others consume a lot of research and development, Nie Yun has never thought about limiting it.

There is a return on investment. Although the consumption of Yu Lao and a group of scientists is very amazing, the output is indeed very satisfactory to Nie Yun.

Nie Yun constantly devoured all kinds of high-tech items in the front, plundering the other party's technology, while the scientists in the back dismantled these technologies and integrated them into the earth's technology system, turning them into Nie Yun's own technological heritage.

It is precisely because of this close complementarity that Nie Yun's technological level has grown explosively, quickly approaching Gemini, and various derivative technologies have emerged in an endless stream, and the "Sword Immortal" mecha is one of them.

In general, Nie Yun's invasion plan has initially achieved its small goal of earning 100 million...

For Nie Yun, the improvement of technology equals the improvement of strength, but the energy is not. It is clear at a glance which of the two is more important. How to choose, Nie Yun does not need to consider at all.

Since it cannot be throttled, it can only be open sourced. The "Prometheus" project came into being!

...

In the void hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the sun, a spherical spaceship was slowly flying towards the sun, and the strong solar radiation made the irradiated surface of the bow part of the ship slightly reddish.

The central temperature of the sun is about 15 million degrees Celsius, and the surface temperature is about 5700 degrees Celsius. Even at such a distance, the surface temperature of the spacecraft under the scorching heat exceeds 1000 degrees Celsius.

Every time the spacecraft moves forward, it has to withstand higher radiation temperatures, and ordinary materials cannot maintain normal performance at this temperature.

But the material of this spaceship is naturally unusual, because it is composed entirely of mechanical bugs.

As the spacecraft gets closer and closer to the sun, the ambient temperature rises higher and higher. When the spacecraft's field of view is completely occupied by the huge fireball, the temperature has reached 4500 ℃!

...

In the technology tree, the "Prometheus" project virtual command center...

"Oh! It's an amazing spacecraft. The most heat-resistant materials found on earth, tantalum carbide and hafnium carbide, can withstand temperatures of nearly 4000°C. How did you do it?" A small robot looked at the screen in front of him. The displayed temperature data exclaimed.

He is Lawrence, who originally conceived the scheme, and was specially invited to visit the Prometheus system's commissioning ceremony today.

"Haha! This temperature is far from reaching its limit. The most powerful thing here is material technology, which is beyond the reach of Gemini!" Yu Lao laughed.

Melting point: anti-melting! Thermal expansion: no expansion!

What else could this magical material have other than "mithril"?

According to experiments, the melting point of mithril can reach more than 10 billion ℃! This means it can almost burrow into the surface of the sun to take a shower and come out.

To cite a data, before Nie Yun's black technology invaded, the laser weapons of various countries on the earth increased the temperature of objects per unit time by about 1 million degrees Celsius per millisecond.

When Gemini's ship-borne high-energy laser weapon hits a non-reflective armored object, it can heat the hit point to about 1 billion degrees Celsius in one millisecond. Almost all objects have only the fate of being vaporized in the face of this attack.

That is to say, this material can even withstand the short-term irradiation of the Gemini laser cannon!

"If you give me all this mithril, all the scientific research projects this year will be stable!" Liang Guang, who was on the side, slammed his mouth, staring at the spaceship with some covetousness.

Although a lot of scientific research achievements have been made, the pockets of Yu Lao and others are gradually bulging, and the scientific research funds are also rising, but things like Mithril still belong to the ranks of luxury goods for them.

After obtaining the right to use the mithril material,

The day-to-day of the laboratory is gradually changing...

"The mechanical strength of this bearing is not enough!" "Try it with mithril material?"

"The load on this line is too high, we need to use strong superconductors!" "Try it with mithril material?"

"This lubricant..." "Use mithril material!"

"Uh……"

After they were completely conquered by Mithril's powerful performance, a "Mithril Worship" spread inside.

Materials have always been the foundation of an industrial system. The near-universal mithril material made Yu Lao and others unable to stop. As long as they were used, the difficulty of scientific research plummeted!

But the tragedy is that in order to prevent the massive outflow of mechanical insects and affect the development of material technology on the earth itself, Nie Yun is a black heart in terms of exchange price!

Its high price allows them to only use a small amount in top-level experiments, so this kind of spaceship made of mithril material, in their eyes, is more tyrannical than a spaceship made of gold!

Hearing Liang Guang's words, Lawrence looked at the reactions of the people around him that couldn't be more agreeable, and immediately became curious about this material called "mithril".

It is remarkable that a material can be so admired by all the ghost scientists in the cloud.

It's a pity that it can't be used for research... He felt a little cat's claw in his heart.

Lawrence is the world's top scholar in the field of high-energy particles. After entering the world of Science and Technology Tree, in the fantastic scientific research environment, his enthusiasm for scientific and technological research and development was completely ignited, as if his thoughts had wings, and he published a number of advanced scientific research results.

Among them, Lawrence contributed 3 supporting technical papers to the just-developed "Langya III" standard laser rifle.

Lawrence is one of the best digital scientists, even in a tech tree with a lot of talent.

After Nie Yun proposed long-term energy planning requirements, Lawrence's idea of ​​stellar energy utilization was quickly followed by Yu Lao and others.

Not long ago, when Lawrence received the news that the idea he proposed at an academic meeting was actually adopted by Captain Ghost and was ready to be implemented, he was sluggish.

A vision is called a vision because it is basically impossible to do at this stage. But when this kind of impossibility was put on the ghost captain, Lawrence couldn't help but believe it.

In the eyes of everyone in the scientific community, knowledge is the truth, and Captain Ghost... is undoubtedly the person closest to the truth in Earth civilization!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he not only won a large amount of scientific research contribution award, the scholar's authority has been upgraded to C-level, and he can access more scientific research materials, and most importantly... he has seen the legendary Cloud Research Institute!

This is also the first time that the Cloud Research Institute has opened to the outside world, and it has lifted a corner of the mysterious veil.

Lawrence is indeed lucky. Just after the "Prometheus" project was filed, the code name immediately conducted a background check on Lawrence in detail to the date of birth.

Later, after the joint recognition of the sixteen bachelors, Lawrence was included in the "21st Century Talent Pool" by Nie Yun.

In this talent pool, there are some top talents in various fields selected by the code-name investigation. As the booth grows larger, Nie Yun is ready to start recruiting the direct team of the ghost department.

The number of people under his command is meaningless to Nie Yun. The codenames of mechanical bugs and big housekeepers are his management team, and the existence of brain chip technology and organizational elites are the best development route for Nie Yun.

A team of super high-quality talents can make the best use of limited resources. Just like the scientific research group of Yu Lao and others, it seems to consume a lot of money, but Nie Yun never worries that they will squander it at will.

These people are different from some so-called experts and professors. They may have selfishness, but their selfishness has at least been separated from the level of low-level desires.

Only those who are pure and firm in their beliefs can achieve the ultimate in a certain field, there is no doubt about this.

What matters most in the 21st century?

Talent!

Originally, Nie Yun planned to name this talent pool "Forever 18-year-old talent pool", which not only sounded good, but also implied the super-high "welfare benefits" after joining the talent pool, which was very realistic.

But in the end, the name was boycotted by the black-faced Yu Lao and others, and finally died...
