Super Mothership

Chapter 523 Charging technology

Energy crystals are undoubtedly an extremely important non-renewable strategic resource for the Gemini civilization.

As an ultra-high-density energy storage medium, its energy density far exceeds the existing, including all known substances including nuclear fuel.

This is completely impossible to explain with existing physics, so some people speculate that the legendary space technology is hidden in the energy crystal, which is of great scientific research value.

In addition, its super-high instantaneous energy output performance can not only greatly increase the power of weapons, but also play an important role in miniaturizing weapons and enhancing endurance capabilities.

Its discovery and mining are like the application of fossil fuels on Earth to Gemini, greatly accelerating the technological development of civilization.

Increase the power of weapons, increase the exploration distance of the interstellar fleet, and shorten the navigation time. For the history of the interstellar development of the Gemini civilization, the energy crystal has an irreplaceable catalytic effect!

Because of the important strategic role of energy crystals, ordinary civilizations simply do not trade such important things as trade commodities.

Even if the traded goods this time are based on energy crystals, the two sides only use this as a value measurement method, and it is basically impossible to settle with a large number of energy crystals.

…

“Can you explain the meaning of energy crystal as a’special commodity’?” Alsace looked at the black deacon.

“Of course, according to the designated trading rules of our allies, the selling methods of special commodities like energy crystals need to be distinguished separately. If you want to buy energy crystals, then the only designated exchange goods are…’blank crystals’!”

“Blank crystal?!” The experts behind Alsace couldn’t help exclaiming in unison.

Blank crystal, this is not a rare Universe mineral, on the contrary, in the Gemini civilization, it is an unusable “scrap”.

Because… it is the residue after the energy crystal is exhausted!

The ordinary energy crystal is a red transparent crystal like a ruby. When the energy in it is gradually released, its color will gradually fade until it becomes a completely transparent “blank crystal”.

To everyone’s surprise, naturally it is not that the other party needs this kind of waste as a condition of exchange, but that some amazing information contained in this condition…

“Do you… have mastered the charging technology of the blank crystal?” An expert couldn’t help but be surprised.

Blank crystal is a kind of waste for the Gemini civilization, because Gemini cannot use it, but the Ante Empire will never aimlessly. This kind of thing obviously has a certain collection value.

Combined with the other party’s weird behavior of exchanging energy crystals for blank crystals, the final answer is ready…

Nie Yun has indeed mastered the blank crystal charging technology!

And this… is also the final product that Nie Yun carefully prepared for Gemini!

When the remnants of energy crystals on the moon were just discovered, in the face of the huge threat of Gemini, Nie Yun’s research on energy crystals mainly focused on how to use this high-density energy in military technology.

In the follow-up research, Yu Lao and others took the energy crystal research and development path to the “art” Realm…

Cough! Of course, it cannot be denied that both sides have achieved remarkable results and have achieved certain scientific research results.

Facts have proved that the ultra-high instantaneous output capability of the energy crystal is a perfect match with the powerful energy superconducting material such as the mechanical insect. The terrifying lethality of the Mithril fleet is fully revealed in the neighboring Galaxy war!

The research of Yu Lao and others is also gratifying. It is said that combined with Lifield technology, a fancy “energy crystal bomb” capable of directional and quantitative injection of energy shock waves has been developed…

However, Nie Yun’s development and utilization of energy crystals has only been a year, and it is still in the small-scale application stage. So until the recent war started, with the massive application and consumption of energy crystals, Nie Yun has more and more blank crystals on hand. He turned his attention to this kind of “unrecyclable garbage”.

The most valuable use of blank crystals is undoubtedly the repeated charging technology!

If this kind of disposable battery can be turned into a rechargeable battery, then the energy crystal can almost be regarded as an inexhaustible conventional energy source, and its strategic value will immediately increase countless times!

However, according to the information obtained by Gemini, they have basically made no progress in the development of this technology.

In the entire interior of Gemini, blank crystals have not yet found any effective use value, and some Gemini architects even regard them as rare building materials.

Therefore, at the beginning, Nie Yun had little hope for this Realm’s research.

After all, with Gemini surpassing his own scientific and technological conditions, there has been no progress in researching energy crystals for so many years. Nie Yun does not think that with his current scientific research strength, he can catch up with the other party in a short period of time.

However, with no intention of inserting willows, Yu Lao almost habitually said, “Would you like to try the Mithril material?” directly reminded Nie Yun.

Within one’s own forces, if there is anything that can directly affect the wonders of the Universe, it seems that there are only mechanical insects that are suspected of being the wonders of the Universe.

Whether it is combining the fine slag particles into a complete energy crystal block or the “vampire serum” obtained by mixing with the water of life, it undoubtedly demonstrates the unique ability of mechanical insects to transform two kinds of objects.

Then Nie Yun used mechanical insects to experiment on the blank crystal…

The final experimental results are undoubtedly surprising!

The mechanical insect can actually charge the blank crystal with its own internal energy!

Although the energy storage capacity of the mechanical worm is far less than that of the energy crystal, even if it puts all of it, it can only make a small piece of blank crystal appear a faint red trace, but the energy does indeed enter the blank crystal…

This means that as long as it provides a continuous source of energy for the mechanical insect, it can be used as a special “transformer” to charge the energy crystal!

This discovery made Nie Yun ecstatic.

But… the time of happiness is short. Just when Nie Yun thought he was about to become rich overnight and was sitting on the endless energy crystal, the follow-up experiment poured a basin of cold water on Nie Yun.

Because after 3 times of repeated charging, this blank crystal shattered directly into a pile of white powder, even the mechanical insects couldn’t put it together again.

Accident?

Maybe the action of the mechanical bug is too rough?

Um! definitely is!

Mechanical insect: “……” (‵o′) convex

Unwilling to give up Nie Yun did several experiments again, but to his disappointment, no matter how gentle the charging process, the result is still the same every time.

An energy crystal can only be recharged three times and cannot be used again.

Obviously, although this kind of charging method can charge the blank crystal, every time the energy is repeatedly washed, it will cause certain damage to the energy storage structure of the energy crystal itself.

After at most three times, the energy crystal whose internal structure has been completely destroyed will disintegrate on its own.

Nie Yun finally had to accept the cruel reality depressedly.

He felt like he had won “one more bottle” three times in a row, and when he thought he had received the “blessing of God” of infinite consecutive “one more bottle”, the next bottle appeared wickedly “Thank you for your patronage!”… …

It’s so exciting to make a big life…
