It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

He was moved.

This is indeed a good trick.

Although the collection efficiency will be reduced a lot, for the current human beings, this may be the most appropriate way!

"It seems that you have learned a lot from Lao Cao."

Lu Yongchang sighed as he stood up from the ground.

There was a slight smile on Su Yutong's face: "Professor, not only you, each of us is fighting for the future of mankind."

Lu Yongchang nodded silently, turned around and walked towards Mars City: "Let's go, Brother Xu and Lao Cao must be waiting impatiently."

……

conference room.

A holographic image quietly unfolded.

There are a few large characters written on it.

"Jupiter Helium III Acquisition Project"

Lu Yongchang stood in front of the crowd and exhaled forcefully, as if he wanted to exhale all the anxiety in his heart.

"Everyone, you should all know the status of the moon."

"In order to ensure our energy reserves, I announce that starting today, all departments will unconditionally cooperate with this plan."

Fang Xu, who was sitting in the vice seat, nodded solemnly.

"Yongchang, do you have a plan?"

"Jupiter is not as docile as the moon, once something goes wrong..."

Lu Yongchang stretched out his hand across the air, and opened another holographic image with gestures.

In the picture, a starship hovers quietly in Jupiter's synchronous orbit.

And in its abdomen, a long tube stretching more than [-] kilometers protruded, piercing into Jupiter's atmosphere.

"The collection ship itself is not difficult to solve, and our current technology is sufficient to manufacture a starship of this level."

"The focus is on the Helium III collection tube."

"I'm personally biased towards carbon nanotube materials."

Chapter 232 Successfully Developed Ion Beam Weapon

The Helium-[-] collection ship in hologram orbits slowly around Jupiter.

The laboratory was quiet, and everyone frowned, as if they were digesting the plan that Lu Yongchang had said.

After a long time, Cao Liangcai moved slightly, and the chair under him made a slight friction sound.

Seeing other people looking at him, Cao Liang coughed lightly: "I think this plan is feasible."

"It's just that there are some details that need to be carefully considered."

"For example, how can the more than [-]-kilometer conduit overcome Jupiter's gravity and suck up the helium three in it?"

Lu Yongchang was silent for a moment.

This is also the question he has been thinking about just now.

To overcome the terrifying gravity of Jupiter, the suction required is extremely exaggerated.

"Professor, why don't you choose to mine helium-[-] on other asteroids?" Tao Yuda, who was sitting next to Cao Liangcai, asked softly.

Lu Yongchang pointed to the calendar beside him.

"It's very simple, it's a matter of time."

"The destruction of the lunar automatic mining base has greatly delayed the progress of our resource reserves."

"According to the plan, we need to leave Mars in 2042. At present, we have four years left."

"During these four years, in addition to building giant starships, we also need to collect various resources needed for interstellar voyages."

Lu Yongchang sighed slightly: "Actually, in the original plan, I also planned to conquer the technology of mining gaseous planets."

"It's just that, that's something we will consider after we successfully occupy the Proxima Centauri galaxy."

"It now appears that we have to solve this problem in advance."

The expressions of the people present were slightly dim.

This clear four-year deadline is like a mountain, weighing heavily on the top of every scientific researcher.

Looking at the holographic image in front of him, Lu Yongchang's eyes showed some emotion.

If there is no zero, let alone four years, even 400 years, human beings may not be able to complete such a plan!

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "How about segmented suction?"

Hearing this, Cao Liangcai's eyes moved slightly, and he turned to look at Lu Yongchang: "Segmented suction?"

"That's right." Lu Yongchang nodded lightly, "Since we can't extract Helium-[-] from the interior of Jupiter at one time, we can completely lower the target and divide this 'straw' into compartments. At the same time, the separation and purification of helium three will reduce the burden on the collection ship."

"..."

With the joint efforts of everyone, helpful suggestions have been continuously put forward.

In the holographic projection, the shape of the Helium-[-] collection ship is also constantly changing under Zero's control to adapt to everyone's suggestions.

……

"Professor, Professor Wilson has sent a communication request."

In the laboratory, a holographic image suddenly appeared beside Lu Yongchang, followed by Zero's voice.

Lu Yongchang raised his head from the blueprint in front of him, and looked at the holographic image on the side with a little confusion.

"Wilson?"

"Why did he come to me suddenly? Didn't he just ask him to complete the task of developing ion beam weapons a few days ago?"

Zero reminded softly: "Professor, this happened a month ago."

Lu Yongchang: "..."

"Okay." He reached out and rubbed his stiff face vigorously, "It seems that I misremembered the time."

"Come on!"

The holographic image changed, and Wilson's "wild and unruly" appearance appeared in front of Lu Yongchang.

Looking at the afro of Einstein's style and the messy beige white coat, he couldn't help but feel "lifted up"!

"Huh!"

Lu Yongchang looked at the holographic image in front of him in horror: "Professor Wilson, what are you doing?"

"Touched the switch?"

Hearing Lu Yongchang's question, Wilson's originally excited expression couldn't help being suffocated, and his whole mood was a little incoherent.

"What, what? Touch the switch? Why should I touch the switch?"

There was deep confusion in Wilson's eyes.

With a smile on his face, Lu Yongchang pointed to his hair and said, "Your hair, could it be your newly designed hairstyle?"

Wilson froze for a moment, then realized the meaning of Lu Yongchang's words.

He smiled wryly, stretched out his hand, and pressed hard on the straight hair on top of his head.

But apparently, those hairs have a mind of their own.

After some attempts, Wilson decisively chose to give up.

He shook his head vigorously: "Professor, I didn't tell you about this!"

"The ion beam weapon research and development project has been successful!"

"I have to say, professor, this is the most powerful weapon I have ever seen, bar none!"

"Look!"

As soon as the voice fell, the holographic image screen changed,

A scorched black transparent wall appeared in front of Lu Yongchang.

Through the hole in the alloy wall, Lu Yongchang could vaguely see the scenery of the next room.

"...Fuck!"

Even Lu Yongchang was taken aback by this scene: "You fucking started this thing directly in the laboratory?!"

"No one was hurt?!"

He suddenly realized how Wilson's hair became like this...

Wilson waved his hands again and again: "Don't worry, professor, the power of the castrated prototype is very low, and there are no problems other than piercing through a few walls."

Lu Yongchang: "..."

"Except for breaking through a few walls"

This is also called no problem? !

"Also, Zero has already started to transform the ostrich. It is estimated that in a few days we will be able to test the power of ion beam weapons in space!" Wilson said excitedly.

"..."

Communication hangs up.

There was silence in the laboratory.

All the scientific researchers cast a horrified look at Lu Yongchang.

Obviously, the scene just now was seen by everyone.

"Yongchang?" Fang Xu's eyes widened, "Ion beam weapons? What the hell is this?!"

"Ahem." Lu Yongchang coughed lightly, "Calm down, it's just a new weapon."

"It's just a new weapon?!" Fang Xu raised his voice again, "Didn't you just develop an electromagnetic gun not long ago? Why did an ion beam weapon suddenly appear?"

Moreover, it seems that this so-called ion beam weapon is much more powerful than an electromagnetic gun!

"It's just a weapon that simulates a solar storm. It's not clear how powerful it really is." Lu Yongchang stood up from his seat while speaking, and pushed the document in front of Fang Xu.

"I have already solved this part of the difficulty, please help me with the rest of the filling work."

"I've got to go over to Wilson."

"This brat actually tested weapons directly in the laboratory!"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the white coat on the side, put it on his body, and hurriedly walked towards the door of the laboratory.

Looking at Lu Yongchang who disappeared at the door, Fang Xu swallowed slightly.

Chapter 233 The Power of the High Energy Ion Beam

a week later.

Mars spaceport.

Wilson looked frantically at the huge ship outside the porthole.

It was a Luanniao starship that had been remodeled twice.

At the forefront of the starship are the barrels of five electromagnetic coil guns.

On the left and right sides, there are six laser generators with a radius of 9.5 meters.

As for the ion beam weapon, it was installed on the top of the Luanniao starship.

Although the appearance is a bit ugly, the firepower of this Luanniao starship is beyond doubt, and it is definitely the most powerful weapon system for mankind at present, bar none!

"Professor, how are you going to test its power?"

Wilson rubbed his hands excitedly, turned his head and asked expectantly.

As the developer of two... no, a semi-weapon, Wilson is naturally full of expectations for the test of this weapon system.

Lu Yongchang turned his head and pouted his mouth towards the porthole on the other side: "Here, the test target is over there."
