Gate of Technology

Cheng Yuan's request naturally caused the high-level discussions to continue for a while. Although Cheng Yuan was only talking about two precious metal mines, there are also many very rare and precious metals in precious metals.

These precious metals are not only stored in very small quantities, but also have an extremely wide range of applications.

And Cheng Yuan's vague request made them hesitate for a while. If Cheng Yuan asked for that very rare and precious metal, would they give it?

In the end, it was Hua Lao who made the final decision: Here, Cheng Yuan is a thief and a thief, don't look at him doing nothing in the past few years, in fact, he has been mining all over the world as early as when intelligent machines were rampant. minerals.

Regarding this point, Hua Lao is very clear in his heart. After all, many of the ore veins where they have records, after the intelligent machinery is driven away, they can't wait to prepare for mining and utilization.

But the results were not very good, because many precious ore veins had been mined by the time they rushed past.

Through Feng Zhang, Cheng Yuan also received the answer from Hua Lao, looking at Feng Zhang with an embarrassed smile in front of him, Cheng Yuan smiled and waved his hand, comforting: Mr. Feng, don't be nervous, my requirements are not high. Just two platinum group metal mines.”

The corners of Feng Zhang's mouth twitched. Although he didn't know much about metals, after Cheng Yuan proposed to use metal ore as a condition, he went to study it specially.

Platinum group metals, when people hear [platinum], their first impression is platinum. After all, the most famous one is worth the money. But he has already checked the information, but he knows that the platinum group metals also contain precious and rare metals such as palladium, iridium, osmium, ruthenium, rhodium, and most of them are mostly used in the aerospace industry!

Since the announcement of the Mars development plan, the aerospace market has become hotter day by day, and the prices of related basic materials have naturally risen wildly.

And the price of platinum group metals is becoming more and more precious day by day!

But since Mr. Hua decided to agree to Cheng Yuan's request, he naturally wouldn't do anything against it.

I understand, Mr. Cheng. I will report your request to Mr. Hua, so I will leave first. Feng Zhang pursed his lips, nodded to Cheng Yuan solemnly, and then got up and left.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a platinum group mine could bring a person a profit of 100 million in the past, now a platinum group mine can bring a profit of 10 billion to a person.

This is a 100-fold increase in interest, perhaps even higher over time.

Feng Zhang left in a hurry, and Cheng Yuan instructed Zero after he left: Zero, get ready, two battleships and a team of guardians.

Okay. Zero nodded, and then asked suspiciously: But sir, why do you want two platinum group mines? It's not important to us, and you don't even know the size.

Although platinum group minerals have great application value in aerospace, for him, two platinum group minerals simply cannot be compared with two warships and a pair of guardians.

Cheng Yuan did not explain to Zero, he changed the subject and said, Let's not talk about this, I recently thought of some new technologies, based on dark energy and quantum energy.

Cheng Yuan didn't explain Zero and didn't ask any further questions. He just froze for a moment, then said in surprise: Dark energy and quantum?

What's wrong?

I thought it was dark energy and tachyons. Zero smiled.

Cheng Yuan shrugged his shoulders with a hint of helplessness: No way, there is too little research on tachyons, and there are still more research materials on dark energy and quantum.

What kind of thinking is involved this time?

In terms of energy, although nuclear fusion energy allows us to have clean and efficient energy, it is still somewhat insufficient for us at present.

Lingdun thought for a while, nodded slightly, and agreed: What you said is very reasonable. As long as the volume of nuclear fusion energy is large enough, it is equivalent to the energy of a star, but this is not realistic.

We need a new energy source with moderate size and powerful energy. Dark energy is indeed a very good substitute, but is it related to quantum? Zero still has no idea about the relationship between dark energy and quantum.

Do you know wireless charging technology? Cheng Yuan asked back.

Zero raised his eyebrows: Do you plan to connect dark energy to the device through quantization?

Cheng Yuan almost didn't need to explain in detail, Cheng Yuan just opened his head and thought about the relevant information instantly, he frowned and thought: This method is very feasible, but first of all we need a sufficient dark energy energy center .

Regarding the use of dark energy energy, they have very comprehensive technology in their hands. The application of dark energy energy by the Centaur galaxy civilization can be said to be the pinnacle.

Cheng Yuan did not deny it, and said indifferently: I plan to build a power plant on Mars that can directly provide global electricity, and use quantization to spread dark energy through a specific frequency.

Although Cheng Yuan said it easily, it is not easy to quantify dark energy. Dark energy is a kind of 'vacuum energy' for contemporary people.

The explanation is also very intuitive. It is what we often call a vacuum. Scientists believe that this void is also a kind of matter and should be filled with something.

The stuff that fills the vacuum is what we call dark energy, this ubiquitous energy.

This is our explanation of dark energy, but in the centaur galaxy civilization, the explanation of dark energy is not the same. The centaur civilization believes that what we call dark energy is actually the first in the periodic table of elements.

However, unlike the element h we have expressed, it is very different in terms of its state of matter and atomic properties.

The biggest feature is that dark energy can easily react with other substances to change its atomic structure.

Through the research of the centaur civilization, they found that when the dark energy reacts with the perseverance, a fusion reaction occurs. When combined with other dust particles in the universe, it will produce frozen ice, and when it reacts with asteroids, it will become a large number of impurities and combine into stars.

Dark energy is very complex. It is changeable and stable. Before it comes into contact with other substances, it can always maintain its purest properties. In addition, its own density is extremely high, which can be said to be the foundation of the entire universe.

Dark energy carries everything in the entire universe, and it is closely related to and distinct from all matter in the universe.

But it is this characteristic of dark energy that makes it more difficult to quantify.

Fortunately, Cheng Yuan does not need to use his brain in this aspect, because they have ready-made ones that can be used with only a little improvement, which makes Cheng Yuan have to feel the power of the core of technological crystallization.

Zero, you go to Mars to prepare first, I'll go say hello to Xiaolian.

...

Five days later, the capital of China.

In a strict military base, two huge battleships are parked on the huge square. The battleships are as shocking as two giant beasts dormant on the ground.

On one side of the battleship, six guardians with gorgeous shapes were lined up in a line, and the guardians who remained motionless were like statues, causing the surrounding soldiers to look at them frequently.

Compared with the huge warships, the gorgeous guardians made them more excited.

Elder Hua, Cheng Yuan has delivered the things on time, we can start! A military general looked at the battleship and the guardian with gleaming eyes, and rubbed his hands indifferently.

When Hua Lao saw this, he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't mean to blame. Although he also had a smart robot of a similar size, it was not as gorgeous and powerful as the guardian in front of him.

Because whether it is a battleship or a guardian, their power source is nuclear fusion energy, not the 'backward' nuclear fission they use!

Leave a battleship and a guardian, and the rest of you can drive to Tokyo! After giving a brief order, Hua Lao left with joy.

In 2026, at the end of October, Huaxia officially announced the cleaning of Tokyo Smart Machinery!
