The general environment of the earth, or the general environment of the solar system, or the larger-scale environment, is changing dynamically.
The difference is that under objective conditions, it takes an extremely long process from quantitative change to qualitative change, but with subjective influence, such as the interference of humans or other intelligent life, the arrival of qualitative change will be greatly advanced.
Changes in the general environment mean disaster is coming.
Zuo Dajun looked at the somewhat serious Su Zhe, thought for a while and said, "Yes, at this stage we humans really cannot develop the resources of the earth, the moon, or even the entire solar system without restrictions. Once a certain limit is exceeded, That will be the end of our humanity. Now think about it, we can’t be extravagant in the use of resources and energy. We should save what we can. Regarding waste, we must formulate relevant laws. Whoever dares to waste resources and energy will be punished by us. Let him be punished."
"We can consider enacting laws to limit waste." Fan Xiaoming explained, "Relatively speaking, the current resources and energy are too easy to come by, and people have no idea of cherishing them. Really, this won't work. We must always cherish them. The resources and energy obtained must be prevented from being wasted.”
Bao Qizheng nodded and said: "We humans really need to grasp a certain limit when it comes to the development of the solar system. We must not cross this limit. Just like these celestial bodies in the inner solar system, if we can not develop them, we should not develop them. Even if we have to develop them, we should not develop them." We also need to make a good assessment. Again, based on our human capabilities at this stage, if the solar system's environment collapses, only a small number of us humans will survive."
With the current capabilities of human beings, once the general environment of the solar system undergoes major changes, 99% of humans and creatures on the earth will disappear in the long river of history.
Xu Zhengping smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. In fact, the relevant departments have noticed this for a long time. We took this into consideration when formulating the solar system development plan. But having said that, regarding the use of resources and energy, in the past six months, The phenomenon of waste has indeed increased. Although the proton fusion device is about to succeed, after our human civilization becomes an interstellar civilization, we will be able to mine resources and energy in the outer space of the solar system. In contrast, we will be able to reduce our impact on the solar system. The development of resources and energy."
Seeing Xu Zhengping mention the proton fusion device, Zuo Dajun instantly became excited, "Yes! Yes! We have a proton fusion device. As long as the proton fusion device is successful, we will enter the interstellar era. By then, resources and energy will It’s not like we can just mine it.”
"Yes!" Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "Step by step, we are getting rid of the constraints of the earth and the solar system. In this process, the resources and energy available to us humans are increasing. According to relevant research results, as long as we According to the designated development plan, the general environment of the earth and the solar system will not develop out of control. Besides, once we successfully develop the proton fusion device, we can go to the outer solar system. Resources and energy are being mined in space, but we still have to strictly control the waste of resources and energy."
Now think about it, in the past six months, the resources and energy were sufficient, and the result was that there was not enough attention to waste.
Even though humans have now escaped the shackles of the earth, it is still abominable to waste resources and energy.
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "I will inform the relevant departments about the waste of resources and energy. When we cannot fully grasp the solar system, we humans are not qualified to waste resources and energy... Now it seems. We are the first solar system You need to be more cautious in the development of it. If you can’t develop it, don’t develop it.”
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
The large-scale development and construction of the solar system is of no benefit, and may break the dynamic balance of the solar system.
In his opinion, there will only be limited development in the solar system. Once the proton fusion device is completed and humans go to the outer space of the solar system to mine resources and energy, there will be no worries at that time.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "We have launched many detectors in the direction of Proxima Centauri! In addition, we know from the data analyzed by the Extremely Differential Microwave Radiation Spectrometer that there are a large number of detectors in the space between the solar system and Proxima Centauri. Resources, we can mine these resources in the first step. When we reach Proxima Centauri, there will be more resources and energy that can be mined. Anyway, we don’t have to worry about destroying the dynamic balance of Proxima Centauri.”
The reason why we dare not freely develop resources and energy in the solar system is because we are afraid that changes in the general environment of the solar system will affect the general environment of the earth.
You must know that the earth is the home of mankind. For now, the earth's environment is suitable for human survival. If humans over-exploit the solar system, the result will only be the destruction of mankind's home.
Proxima Centauri is different, and Nanmen II is also the same. As for why it is different, it is because there is no earth.
Even if there is a place for human beings to live, they will not rely on the environment of the star system for survival.
Zuo Dajun smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! I also know this. There are many resources in the cosmic space between the solar system and Proxima Centauri. Thirty thousand celestial bodies with diameters exceeding the moon have been discovered. Look. Come on! This number will only increase."
A large number of detectors flew in the direction of Proxima Centauri, and many detectors also flew in other directions. From the data fed back, we know that there are a large number of celestial bodies in the universe around the solar system that could not be detected in the past.
The number of these celestial bodies is tens of thousands. It can be said that these celestial bodies are all good resources.
Xu Zhengping said seriously: "Our task is still very heavy. Now it depends on the proton fusion device. If we become human beings, we will be like dragons entering the sea."
With that said, Xu Zhengping looked at Fan Xiaoming and Su Zhe.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "Principal, don't worry, the proton fusion device is being manufactured, and it is planned to be verified when we come back from Mars. From the current situation, the verification will definitely be successful."
The current proton fusion device is under construction in full swing. Compared with them, the people from Qingda University are keeping a closer eye on it.
"Don't worry, the proton fusion device is almost feasible. Don't worry too much. It doesn't matter if it fails. You can always succeed if you try a few more times." Su Zhe said while waving his big hand in front of a few people. An oversized ring-shaped device appeared.
As for the proton fusion device, its theory is completely feasible. Even if it fails, it is still an engineering problem.
Even if you fail this time, as long as you try a few more times, you will succeed soon.
Zuo Dajun looked at the big guy in front of him, thought for a while and said: "What can I say? The size of this proton fusion device is too big. The device verified experimentally has a diameter of one hundred kilometers. This is a super big guy. , I am also thinking about miniaturizing the proton fusion device so that it can be used in small equipment, such as mechas, flying saucers, etc. Can such a big thing really be miniaturized?"
He was dizzy looking at such a large device.
Su Zhe said with a smile: "It is possible to miniaturize, but it will take a long time, but there is no need to rush. If the miniaturization of the proton fusion device is not needed, we still have alternatives. You must know that cold fusion Miniaturization is much simpler.”
The miniaturization of proton fusion devices is really very difficult, and it will take a long, long time to achieve miniaturization.
In contrast, miniaturization of cold fusion is much simpler.
"Yes! Yes! I forgot about cold nuclear fusion." Zuo Dajun said excitedly, "The energy released by cold nuclear fusion is completely sufficient, but the nuclear fuel of cold nuclear fusion is a bit difficult to produce and requires us to synthesize it artificially. Of course, something is better than nothing."
Compared with proton fusion devices, cold nuclear fusion requires much more difficult nuclear fuel.
The nuclear fuel of the former is protons. It can be said that the most abundant thing in the universe is protons, which is hydrogen. They are everywhere in the universe.
But the nuclear fuel required for the latter is difficult to obtain and requires artificial synthesis, such as isotopes of helium and beryllium.
To put it bluntly, cold fusion is actually an efficient energy storage battery.
The process of synthesizing isotopes of helium and hydrogen is a process of storing energy, and the occurrence of nuclear fusion is actually a process of releasing energy.
To be honest, the solar energy collected now is very rich. If the collected solar energy is not used or stored, then the energy will be wasted.
It is really unrealistic to fully utilize them. Even if the current light beam project collects solar energy, there is still a lot of solar energy that has not been collected.
Of course, there is a certain amount of solar energy that can be collected, and the dynamic balance of the solar system cannot be destroyed by unlimited collection of solar energy.
Even so, the amount of solar energy that can be collected is huge, and the facilities currently built are far from reaching their limits.
Just like that, there is still a lot of energy that is not being used.
As for current energy storage methods, there are traditional methods of energy storage, which are obviously not enough.
Then there is super battery energy storage. The same thing is that the density of energy storage is not enough.
The last step is to use synthetic elements to store energy.
For example, synthetic fission nuclear fuel and synthetic cold fusion nuclear fuel.
Relatively speaking, the latter has a higher energy density than the former.
Bao Qizheng said with a smile: "As far as cold nuclear fusion is concerned, the progress is very fast. Multiple scientific research teams are working together. I estimate that a cold nuclear fusion device will be ready in a few days."
After that explosion, and since the discovery of nuclear fusion of isotopes of helium and beryllium, multiple scientific research teams have joined the research.
A total of 30 top scientific research teams in the nine special zones jointly developed it. It is impossible to think of such a speed of development.
Xu Zhengping nodded and said, "Yes! The development of the cold nuclear fusion device is already in progress. I heard that the theory has been clarified."
Su Zhe smiled and said, "The cold nuclear fusion device will be verified in just a few days. The details will depend on the progress."
With that said, another cold nuclear fusion device appeared in front of several people.
Compared with the big guy next to it, the cold nuclear fusion device is much smaller.
The diameter of the proton nuclear fusion device is one hundred kilometers, and the diameter of the cold nuclear fusion device is only twenty meters.
There is absolutely no comparison between the two.
Zuo Dajun said with a smile: "Sure enough, the cold nuclear fusion device is much smaller. You must know that this is a verification device. I guess it can be miniaturized to the size of a mobile phone."
This is the first generation verification device. This thing is only twenty meters in size. If it is miniaturized, it will be even smaller.
Su Zhe nodded and said, "It needs to be smaller. The cold nuclear fusion device can only be the size of a button battery in the past."
"What! So small." Zuo Dajun looked shocked.
"Yes! It's that small." Su Zhe explained, "It's just that this device is disposable, and the energy it stores is amazing. Although it is only the size of a button, its energy is enough to last our previous mobile phones for five hundred years. , Of course, the reusable one is larger, about the size of a fist, and its nuclear fuel can be continuously replaced. One replacement of nuclear fuel can allow the humanoid bionic robot to maintain maximum acceleration flight for a month."
Zuo Dajun shouted excitedly: "Powerful, so powerful. It is worthy of nuclear fusion. This energy density cannot be compared with other batteries."
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "Dajun, this is nuclear fusion. Don't compare it with the energy storage methods of the past. The traditional batteries of the past relied on chemical bonds to store energy. Even the super battery we have developed. The electrons outside the nucleus are also used to store energy. No matter how much energy is stored, it will not be that much. Nuclear fusion is different. It relies on the energy storage of the nucleus. How can this be compared."
These types of energy storage
The method is completely different, and the energy stored is also completely different.
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "There is really no comparison, but it is foreseeable that after the success of cold nuclear fusion, there will be no obstacles for us humans to move around the solar system and the space around the solar system. Of course, interstellar flight will be required We still have to rely on proton nuclear fusion devices. After all, protons are everywhere in the universe, so we don’t have to worry about running out of nuclear fuel.”
The use of energy will directly affect the development of human beings.
When humans could only use chemical energy, they only moved around the earth, at most around the earth.
When humans come up with the light pillar project and use solar energy on a large scale, humans will be able to move around the entire solar system and develop and utilize the resources and energy of the entire solar system.
When humans master controllable nuclear fusion technology, or proton nuclear fusion, humans will have the ability to fly between stars.
