In fact, although in the eyes of Chu Junhao and Wang Junling, Chen Nian seemed to be a serious, heroic, and mysterious character, he himself really didn't think it was that exaggerated.
The life of study and research was indeed hard, but that didn't mean that he didn't leave any time for himself to rest.
There is still entertainment, but his entertainment does not quite fit the worldly sense of "indulgence."
I didn’t buy a car, I didn’t buy a house, I didn’t spend a lot of money, and I didn’t have a young model in the club.
It's not that he has no worldly desires at all, it's just that he has too many.
In fact, since Project No. 22 entered its later stages, the resources he can mobilize have reached a level that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Needless to say, money is just a number to him. If necessary, he may even have billions or tens of billions added to his account out of thin air.
As for those enjoyments that others only dream of?
Ordinary fun really doesn't appeal to him.
If he really wanted to, he could do whatever he wanted, let alone go find Zhuang Yan like Luo Ji. Even if he said he wanted to find a wife with cat ears and white hair, the officials might have to grit their teeth and do it for him.
But that’s not really interesting.
What’s really interesting is to build your own ideas with your own hands, and then watch it come true bit by bit.
The latter is what Chen Nian is doing through learning and using the system, while the former is his entertainment.
Over many nights after obtaining the system, Chen Nian built a complete set of technological development paths bit by bit. On this path, there are the most advanced civilian and military technologies, including quantum communications, chip technology, and giant cannons. Control nuclear fusion, fight mechs, space carriers, water droplets, and sophons.
Etc., etc.
But many times, he still feels that his imagination is somewhat lacking.
After all, having a system in hand means that as long as you can think of it, as long as you have enough source points, you can create it in reality sooner or later.
Therefore, there are actually only two things left that limit the upper limit of civilization development:
Your own lifespan, and your own imagination.
There was no way to solve the problem of lifespan for the time being, so Chen Nian focused on his imagination first.
In this way, his greatest form of entertainment has been determined.
That is:
Various forums and websites squeeze the imagination of netizens and use their brains to work for themselves.
This form of entertainment is really healthy and interesting, but it does seem a bit cramped in the eyes of others.
Chen Guo had told him more than once to put down his computer and go out for a walk. If he wanted to travel wherever he wanted to go or do anything he wanted to do, the above could arrange it.
But Chen Nian was completely unmoved.
What a joke!
If you feel bored, that's because even if you watch it, it's just for fun, but I can really turn fun into reality!
In essence, this is no different from girls who like to go to shopping malls.
What they were looking at were shoes, clothes and luxury bags, while what they were looking at was a rail gun Death Star Star Destroyer.
The two have one surprising thing in common:
I can't even afford it, so I can only look at it first to satisfy my eyes.
On this day, Chen Nian ended his 12 hours of study and research and returned to his small residence.
He turned on the computer as usual, intending to see what other cool ideas netizens had contributed.
The post on the forum "If you could trade a lifetime of singleness for a sci-fi item, what would you choose?" is still active. It has only been 20 hours since Chen Nian last refreshed it, but there are already more than a dozen new useful posts. strip.
Chen Nian was immediately interested. He quickly clicked on the post and read the replies one by one.
These days, the forum is still in an extremely primitive state. There are no pictures, and you can't upload videos, so everyone's replies are basically typed word by word.
Although the text is thin, in many cases, what is revealed in these words is not that simple.
"LZNB, if you can think of this kind of problem, I don't ask too much. Give me a culture chamber, the kind that can make clones. Who needs a wife if you have this thing?"
"LSSB, you've already said you're single. If you want to clone a human, aren't you taking advantage of the rules? Why should a man worry about not having a wife? Don't keep pretending about men and women in your mind. If you ask me, if you can really change everything, give it to me. Let me get a Dyson ball."
"What about the Dyson sphere? Are you not greedy enough? If it can be replaced, I would like to replace it with a quantum chip. This thing is at least somewhat reliable."
After reading several posts in a row, Chen Nian didn't find anything interesting. Moreover, everyone spoke in a polite manner these days, and there was no fun-loving atmosphere like those on the post forums later. It was really just the same.
This made Chen Nian slightly disappointed. It seemed that today's trip to the mall was going to end early.
However, when I finally pressed F5 to refresh, a reply with an astonishing length suddenly appeared.
"The ideas above are all very good, but they are a bit too far-fetched. Many of them are even pure fantasies that have been proven to be unfeasible. This is inconsistent with what LZ calls 'science fiction items'."
"Science fiction, it must be scientific fantasy, and it must have a certain basis, otherwise wouldn't science fiction become fantasy and fantasy?"
"I'm not a talented person. After reading so many of everyone's replies, I have a bit of a humble opinion. Let me tell you something."
"I think the problem we humans face is essentially a resource problem."
"The issue of resources ultimately comes back to the issue of food."
"So when it comes to food, most of the staple food for us Chinese people is actually starch, and what is starch? Carbohydrates."
"At this point, everyone should be able to guess what I'm going to say."
"Carbs! Carbon! Water!"
"Isn't this exactly the same as the composition of carbon dioxide + water? Then if there is something that can be used as a catalyst to directly reduce carbon dioxide into starch, our food problem will soon be completely solved?"
A large number of replies quickly appeared under this post. Most of them were mocking the floor leader for his whims. Some people also gave him the concept of energy conversion ratio in popular science. It seemed that this was just an unrealistic idea thought up by a civilian with his poor knowledge. Practical ideas.
But Chen Nian is different.
His heart was racing as he watched.
Damn it.
This brother actually predicted the technological achievements twenty years from now!
The use of carbon dioxide to make starch has actually become a reality in the era when he traveled back in time. Moreover, judging from the experimental results, the energy conversion ratio of this preparation process is extremely amazing!
Normally, the process of producing starch from carbon dioxide first uses electricity to electrolyze to produce hydrogen, and then uses hydrogen to reduce carbon dioxide to produce methanol through a catalyst.
During this process, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy stored in methanol, and its energy conversion rate exceeds 10%, far exceeding the energy utilization efficiency of photosynthesis!
Then, the most critical part arrives.
We need suitable enzyme catalysts to convert methanol into starch.
It took China's scientific research team seven years to find this catalyst, and it was still a less efficient version.
——
But the key is, this thing can really be done!
Moreover, there is only one core technical difficulty!
That's how to find the correct catalytic enzyme formula from a vast sea of random options!
This process is difficult. It is like alchemy. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to find it no matter how much manpower and resources are invested.
But the problem is that randomness does not exist for Chen Nian
Chen Nian immediately became excited, and he immediately wrote a few big words on the paper.
"Efficient catalytic enzyme for the conversion of methanol to starch".
Then, he mobilized the system and scanned the entry in front of him.
[Analysis requirements: 1.5 source points]
? ? ?
Chen Nian jumped up from the chair.
This thing actually only costs 1.5 source points? ? How simple is its chemical formula? !
Before he had time to think about it, Chen Nian almost yelled out the words "analyze immediately". Then, after a brief period of calm, a series of information flowed into his mind.
Only then did he discover that the chemical formula of this catalytic enzyme is really not too complicated.
Therefore, the energy and time of the previous research team were indeed spent on alchemy.
——
However, no matter what, getting the formula means that there is one more way out for food security issues.
If we continue to develop, as long as there is enough electricity, there will be enough food!
