Tower Defense Strategy

In the whole year of XX24, country C hardly obtained new technology from the alien octopus.

Worrying about the collapse of the scientific research system is one aspect, and the key point is the possibility of causing indigestion.

Take the existing black and white magic guide and bulletproof cloth for brick walls.

The number of people participating in the Black and White Magic series research is innumerable in the world. Only the upstream and downstream production is involved. In Country C, a system covering more than one million people has been formed. Of course, the output of this million people is not all superconductors.

Brick walls, bullet-proof cloth, two building materials for the space station, do not even have any exits, and cover more than two hundred thousand people.

The sodium battery industry is highly automated, with fewer than 100,000 employees.

The production of metal hydrogen is too dangerous, and the production covers a smaller number of people, only tens of thousands.

In order to catch up with time, the manpower input on the R&D side is much greater than that on the production side.

So only a few new materials have covered millions of people, and even the aerospace industry chain that has expanded for several rounds, a country C has almost mobilized tens of millions of people.

Coupled with technological innovations using new materials such as electromagnetic weapons, electromagnetic silos, sodium batteries, etc., the number of people involved will double.

Since the technology and basic theory are more complicated than the existing knowledge system of Tuqiu, most of them are above the average line. It can be said that the elites of less than half of the country have invested in it.

Even a country with more than one billion people has to admit that it has had an impact on the entire production and living system. Other places on the planet with fewer engineers will only be more blind.

But if an alien was there, it was obviously impossible to completely refrain from taking any shortcuts.

In fact, as of the last day of XX24, country C has already stocked three new materials, four equipment principle materials, and more than ten other materials that do not involve technology or production details outside of the existing system.

The three new materials have not been published, and only academicians can access them.

They have several common characteristics:

First, the details of the information are not high. The reason given by the Alien Analysis Department is that even in the interstellar age, these materials still have a certain degree of confidentiality value.

Second, it all involves the technology of artificial bond energy, which can only be carried out in the laboratory at the microgram level.

Third, they are all isotopes, and the geological content of the soil **** is almost no.

The elements on the periodic table are just the most common states of various elements, but not all of them.

Isotopes are very common, and the relationship with common elements such as protium deuterium tritium, lithium 3 lithium 6 lithium 7, carbon 9 carbon 12 carbon 14 and so on. Some of them are radioactive, some are not, some lack stability in normal environments, and some can barely exist.

The production of isotopes is very dependent on the explosion of stars and the long-term erosion of cosmic rays, which involve changes in the nucleus.

The formation of planets is also the result of the nebula being dominated by gravitation again after the star exploded, but the main observations in the earth globe are stable isotopes.

The effect of cosmic rays can be referred to the moon, but the moon is interfered by the host star, and the environment is not good. If there is a non-atmospheric rocky planet locked by the direct tide of the star, it will be more valuable for research and development.

All in all, these new materials are not needed at the current technical level of the earth globe. Only experts with a sufficiently high level of confidentiality can do some preliminary theoretical work. Later, they must be preserved and developed for the lunar base.

Even if it is needed, country C itself cannot mobilize another industrial chain in a short period of time, and there are not enough talents.

Then there is the equipment principle data. There are also some that are not needed temporarily, but two of them are very valuable.

One is the tokamak practical power generation device, which is now the artificial sun and fusion power generation that the earth globe people say.

Tuqiu's tokamak has been developed for many years, and it cannot be said to have been fruitless, but there is no continuous power supply and no commercial use.

The basis of the tokamak is an artificial magnetic field that is sufficient to constrain the range of nuclear fusion. It consumes a lot of power. In the early experiments, the electricity emitted after the fusion started was not enough to maintain the consumption of the artificial magnetic field.

With the gradual improvement of superconductors and other related technologies, it has only been in recent years that the electricity generated by fusion experiments can be a little more than the input of magnetic fields.

Fusion reaction generates huge heat. Before the monster crisis, superconductors with a superconducting temperature around 100K were mainly used, and due to factors such as cost and difficulty in cooling, they were not used on all coils. The thermal balance in continuous power generation is still troubled by fusion. The focus of development.

After the black and white magic wizard appeared, the prospects for fusion power generation became very bright, but a tokamak had to be armed with superconductors, and the consumption of superconductors could not be accomplished by a few tons. Under the main line of comprehensively fighting monsters, it is fundamentally necessary. Less than a sufficient amount of superconducting material quota.

The information provided by the aliens is an improved tokamak device based on the Black Magic.

This device is a large circle smaller than the artificial solar experimental device built in country C a few years ago. It adopts a specially designed structure that directly absorbs heat from the magnetic coil constructed by the black magic guide and connects to the boiling water power generation device. The existing heat radiation pattern is more controllable and safe.

When it comes to safety, fusion devices are actually safer than any power generation equipment since humans have recognized electricity. Once the magnetic force is out of control, the fusion reaction range is affected, and the particle density will automatically turn off when the response requirement is not reached.

If real objects can be made according to the information, the power bottleneck of the new high-energy-consuming weapons can be solved directly, and the remaining half cannot be solved, and time does not allow it.

The bottleneck is stuck on the material again.

Although several models of the Black and White Magic Guide have been put into production, the models specified in the data have not yet been released. There are also several materials that require structural strength, temperature tolerance, and corrosion resistance. The existing materials of the soil ball have a certain gap with the data indicators.

...For the time being, we can't expect to create entities.

Related units have done some work this year, using the physical simulation of the supercomputer to reversely improve (deteriorate) the data model, and have produced engineering drawings, and plan to use the old-fashioned tokamak experimental device to change it for a try.

The application was passed, but the Black Magic was still stuck.

This time it has nothing to do with the model, the problem lies in the raw material level.

The black and white magic guide is a silver-based superconductor. Although the proportion of silver is only one-third or less, the silver reserves of the earth ball are not much.

The proven reserves of silver in Tuqiu are lower than gold, and the supply is very limited. It is also a consumable for certain industrial categories and laboratories, which further reduces the market supply. In the context of the monster crisis, the global industrial chain has been hit, and silver production has shrunk further. As Country A also begins to produce the Magic Series, capital surges, and this thing has been speculated at sky-high prices.

According to the listed price on the last day of XX24, C currency is settled, silver is equivalent to 86 yuan per gram, and the unit price is directly behind those two or three hundred years of antique silver ingots.

The main source of silver needed for superconductor production is shifting from minerals to precious metal recycling. If production capacity continues to expand, it is likely that antique silver ingots will also be included in the recycling list.

But think about it carefully, is silver really so lacking?

As a material that has been used as a precious metal for nearly two thousand years, most areas with more than a thousand years of civilization have almost dug up silver.

In addition to natural wear and oxidation, most of them are in the form of collectibles, jewelry, and value-preserving resources. Among them, only the value-preserved silver in the form of silver ingots and bricks can be counted in 10,000 tons. If you count jewelry and antique silver ingots, Silver coins, the stock can reach another order of magnitude.

Except for a few electromagnetic orbital silo, the consumption is indeed a bit high. An electromagnetic tank can only consume a few kilograms of silver, and 10,000 units are only tens of tons, which is far from reaching the point where silver can be more than ten times higher. .

In the final analysis, it is still a kind of "disease" of the confidence economy. Everyone thinks that it will rise, and if it is pushed by undercurrents, it will rise unstoppable.

Even if some measures to restrict price fluctuations are initiated, the effect is not obvious, because foreign countries have risen even more severely, and too much difference will cause internal silver stocks to flow out.

In the second half of this year alone, more than 20 silver smuggling cases involving more than 100 kilograms of silver were arrested throughout the eastern part of Central Continent.

As a reference, on the same day, the listed price of 999 sterling silver in country A was converted to 47A coins per gram. Even with severe inflation in the past two years, the purchasing power of A coins is still more than twice that of C coins in most areas.

In addition to the tokamak, another piece of equipment principle data that is now useful is several types of space equipment.

One of the most interesting is the capsule spacesuit.

Although it is also called a space suit, the version provided by UU reading www.uukanshu.com is actually more like a modular mecha, but it is a bit crude compared to the mecha in the game.

Its main body is the personnel compartment. The manipulator and the power unit are all modules. The power unit includes foot type, wheel type, single-element jet type and so on.

The existing spacesuits are bloated and have low work efficiency. Homo sapiens robots are limited by their AI level and learning ability. Some complex tasks require a lot of working hours of ground assistance personnel. There is indeed a demand for new spacesuits.

The biggest advantage of the cabin-style spacesuit is that the hands are no longer restricted by the bloated spacesuit. The gap between the manipulator arms can also be used to grab and eat. It is not as dangerous as the old style to deal with personal hygiene problems, which is beneficial for astronauts to work outside the cabin for a long time. .

Disadvantages...it can’t be regarded as a disadvantage. It’s just not compatible with the existing spacesuit storage system, and a separate set is needed. In order to integrate it into several existing space stations, the preliminary work is not a lot.

Whether it is materials or equipment theory, among the materials obtained from aliens this year, the most noticed and controversial one is miscellaneous materials.

"The Evolution of the Universe", it is not even widely circulated in the system, for fear of damaging everyone's enthusiasm.
