my son billions

At first, in order to solve the ration problem of war criminals, Lilith and the others used a kind of bacteria.In Xu Chu's opinion, the function of this bacterium is similar to direct replication.It sounds very against the sky, but in fact it still follows the law of energy conservation.

Jovinas, who was sent directly from Kuipengla—the discoverer of this bacterium—explained to Xu Chu: "We all know that matter and energy can be directly transformed under certain conditions. So when this When a bacterium parasitizes a plant, it only needs a small amount of energy, and can directly consume a large amount of elements in the soil for the synthesis of organic matter. If a large amount of energy can also be obtained, the consumption of materials will become scarce."

Xu Chu nodded when he heard the words, and while looking at the plan received in his hand, he said, "So you thought of using this kind of bacteria to reproduce non-living things?"

"Yes," Joe Winas said, while calling out the light screen to zoom in, showing his experimental data and experimental results.

"Under different conditions, this kind of bacteria can parasitize different substances, including living things and non-living things. This is something I didn't think of before, and I just discovered this function in my research recently. And this kind of parasitism is irreversible , when it parasitizes an organism, its genetic fragments invade the organism—and this causes the problem of rapid aging as we know it. But once it parasitizes a non-organism, after the replica is over, the bacterium is completely transformed into this substance, which is no longer biological. This way we can avoid genetic contamination of this bacterium."

While talking, Joe Winas played a video on the light screen.In the video, there is a syringe type with retainers on both ends, which contains a blue liquid that is only about 1/10 of the volume of the container, and then a small dose of transparent liquid is injected into one end of the syringe.

"This is the original replica bacterial culture we cultivated." Jovinas pointed to the transparent liquid and said.

In the subsequent video, the needle mixed with two liquids is placed in a container.After the container was sealed, it was assisted by strong light. This video probably used dark processing technology, so the strong light did not hinder the observation of the picture by other people present.

Then Xu Chu was surprised to find that only 1/10 of the blue liquid in the test tube began to boil rapidly.The liquid kept bubbling and began to expand, eventually filling the entire test tube.When the strong light disappeared, a whole test tube full of blue liquid appeared in front of everyone.

Although Xu Chu had already tasted its magic once when he saw this bacterial replica plant.But at this time, he was still a little dumbfounded.It looked like something out of nothing, a complete violation of the law of conservation of mass that he was familiar with.

Seeing everyone's astonishment, Qiao Weiner explained: "We all know that the production cost of general high-concentration energy liquid is very high, not only because the energy contained in it is more than 1500 times that of ordinary energy liquid of the same volume. times. It is because of the high technical difficulty and high risk of its extraction and compression, but its application range is quite wide. Because of its small size and high energy conversion efficiency, it is often used in spaceship energy, various mechs, ship-borne Weapons, and other medium and large-scale high-precision equipment and instruments."

Then he pointed to the blue liquid and continued: "For the sake of confidentiality, the energy liquid I chose is made by extracting a variety of existing energy ores and mixing them in a certain proportion. So even if this liquid reaches others In their hands, it is also difficult for them to determine the source of this energy liquid."

Xu Chu understood what Joe Wenas meant.

This kind of technology is too heaven-defying, of course, the less people know about it, the better.A new energy ore that has never been discovered before sounds safer and less likely to be coveted than this kind of anti-sky technology that seems to be born out of nothing.

But in fact, this is nothing more than the storage and transfer of energy, not the real generation of new energy out of thin air.In other words, this is similar to a disposable battery, find a place to fill it up, and then use it for consumption.

It doesn't sound that amazing, but what if they had a power source that could provide energy continuously?

Xu Chu couldn't help thinking of the regrets and sighs in his heart more than once when he looked at the stars in the starry sky.Human beings are of course trying to make use of this inexhaustible resource - solar energy, which is the most primitive energy and the most majestic power bestowed on human beings by the universe.But so far, humans have not been able to have a very efficient means of utilization.

"In fact—" continued Giovinus, and then pointed to a star that appeared on the light screen.He obviously went together with Xu Chu, the star Xu Chu looked very familiar to him, obviously it was the star in the galaxy where Kuipenla was located.

"From our experimental data, when this kind of bacteria parasitizes on organisms, it does not require high energy, obviously because of the supplement of elements. But when it parasitizes on non-organisms, it requires very high energy intensity. High. We did experiments—”

A small spaceship appeared on the light screen.

Xu Chu looked at it and raised his eyebrows. He didn't know when this kind of thing appeared on Kuipengla.

In the video, the small aircraft slowly flew towards the star, and stopped when it reached a certain position.Not long after that, the return flight began.

"In our experiment, the light intensity used far exceeds the light intensity that can be received by the surface of ordinary planets, so in order to charge the bacteria batteries we are making in large quantities, we choose to use the spacecraft to place the batteries Transported to a location close to the star. But in fact, when the spacecraft is so close to the star, the surface temperature of the spacecraft exceeds the maximum temperature that its materials can withstand, and the charging has never been activated.”

"And what's worse is that the transparent materials used in the laboratory's test tubes and other devices are often used on the surfaces of the most sophisticated mechs and spaceships, and the cost of materials is very high. But even so, we are experimenting There are 100 sets of experimental materials prepared in the laboratory, and only this set was successful, and all the others were scrapped. In such a strong light environment, there is no material that can be stored stably for a long time."

Xu Chu frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect the result of the experiment to be so disappointing.

"Such a proviso doesn't sound good at all," he said, but then he remembered the plan in his hand, and couldn't help laughing, "So you must have found another way, haven't you?"

Otherwise, why would they propose in the plan to build such a bacterial battery factory?

Seeing the smile on Xu Chu's face, Joe Winas also laughed, "After the experiment failed, we tried every means to find other experimental carriers. Then we realized that with our current level of technology, we can still There is no way to get close to the surface of stars to start effective charging. But in fact, in this universe, there are many creatures that can get close to the surface of stars. They even feed on the light energy of stars, and they are not afraid of such intensity of energy radiation at all. There is a self-contained energy conversion system. Light energy will not be converted into super-intensive high temperature, so they are not afraid of approaching stars."

Then, another huge figure appeared on the light screen, "So I asked one of your subordinates to put 100 experimental batteries into my stomach and send them to the vicinity of the stars."

As he spoke, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "The effect was amazing! All 100 batteries were fully charged, and none of the test tube materials were scrapped. There seems to be an environment in this organism that can absorb excess energy. It does not cause the surface temperature of the test tube to be too high and melt. In fact, when we use other common materials to make this test tube, the charging is still successful."

Jovinas became more and more excited while talking, "This means that even if our technology is cracked, others will not be able to achieve our charging conditions, and we will be able to occupy this market no matter what! The real production cost of this technology is far lower than we imagined, and we can spread this energy to all places, so that we can solve the problem of energy scarcity today!"

Qiao Wenus looked at Xu Chu with sparkling eyes while talking.

Xu Chu looked at the excited Joe Venus, and understood in his heart that if this technology can really be applied to display, then the entire universe will become an inexhaustible source of energy.

But looking at the one hundred test tubes that were easily recharged successfully in the video, Xu Chu suddenly remembered that in the original world, someone asked a question.

What would the world be like if humans could use water as energy?

The conclusion afterward is that the price of water will increase as a result, so high that people can't drink it, and in the end, the seemingly inexhaustible water resources on the earth will eventually be consumed without a drop .

Xu Chu couldn't help shivering.

And now the question becomes, what would the universe be like if the energy of the stars could be used so efficiently?

Xu Chu thought of the waste mine stars that were hollowed out by humans, and the garbage stars filled with waste.Even if Seiler is right, these changes are insignificant to these planets, but such changes are fatal to humans.

And he doesn't know how the world will change when the energy of the stars is occupied or even monopolized by greedy humans.But at least creatures like Ke Meiqi are about to become extinct.

Xu Chu had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and couldn't help but began to hope that there would be some law that could limit the infinite expansion of human desires.Then he thought of the rules Lilith and the others were looking for.

If the rules are set by wise men and can be completely implemented, strictly restricting the infinite expansion of human desires-this is probably the only possibility for human beings to survive for a long time.

But most people are irrational, even if some dire consequences can be expected, people can't restrain their desires - just like Xu Chu himself.

He closed the plan with some helplessness.

Can he resist such a temptation?Of course he can't.

The energy synthesized in this way can be used for many things.Sell ​​it to pull relationships to get more waste, buy more organic compound synthesis devices, he can even directly use the energy to drive the organic compound synthesis devices to synthesize organic matter - so that more small bugs can survive.

In fact, he has found that he has already entered an infinite vicious cycle - he tries to create a more comfortable living environment for the little bugs, and the little bugs grow infinitely in such an environment, followed by They also have a growing appetite.

But the desire to protect the little bugs made him unable to stop his footsteps forever.

Xu Chu finally approved the plan, and then handed it over to Sai Le for arrangement.

Now No. 2 and No. 4 have arrived in Moore, and are undergoing intellectual evolution.After evolution, he will let No. 2 follow Seiler to carry out controlled planning and transformation of the waste mine star.Then factories can be built and cheap labor can be obtained.

After finishing the matter and letting people go out, Xu Chu stayed in the study alone, but started to stay in a daze.

After thinking for a while, he still decided to ask Wesley to help him find out some things that Union Marshal Chapman has done in recent years.

Within a few days, Wesley quickly handed over the information he could find to Xu Chu, who seemed more disturbed than Xu Chu, but Xu Chu smiled at him and said, "Don't tell the marshal, I just inquired quietly. "

After speaking, he winked at him.

Only then did Wesley understand, and nodded at him with a smile, before going out.

It wasn't until Wesley went out that the smile on Xu Chu's face gradually disappeared.

He actually didn't care whether No. [-] knew that he was checking him, but he didn't want his subordinates to think that there was a quarrel between him and the marshal.It wouldn't be good for what he was doing if it caused panic.

Then he looked at what Wesley had investigated.Wesley can't find out much from his investigation. After all, time is tight, and he hasn't made any deployments in this area before.

But what Xu Chu wanted was not the confidential information.

Judging from the information he gave, the Alliance Marshal had been missing for a while, but the specific time period was not so clear.

However, it can be seen that before and after the Marshal disappeared, his words, deeds and political views did not change much. After a period of silence in the capital star, he still advocated a strong military deployment, and his emphasis on border defense and vigilance against robots did not change.

The only difference is probably that after Chapman returned from his disappearance, he divorced his former lover after a while.And before that, no one in the league expected this—everyone knew that the marshal and his wife were very loving, and their only son was also extremely smart, with very good genetic talents.

The sudden breakdown of such a happy first family of the alliance was beyond everyone's expectation.

After reading these, Xu Chu was silent for a long time, and then deleted all the information.

In fact, he didn't know what he wanted to get from the information, but the information not only didn't solve his doubts, but made him more confused.

Xu Chu covered his forehead and thought for a while, then let out a breath slowly, and then when he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his abdomen.
