Now that energy freedom has been achieved, as long as the resources are sufficient, the required elements can be continuously synthesized. Unlike in the past, rare elements could only be obtained through mining.
Looking at the gold being continuously mined, Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Now, in the past, how difficult it was. It was unthinkable to synthesize elements. We could only rely on mining and refining. Think about it, this year "For many years, science and technology have developed too fast." In the past, it didn't mean that elements couldn't be synthesized.
After the emergence of accelerators, elements could be synthesized, but the cost of synthesizing elements at that time was too high. Take the synthesis of gold as an example. It consumes a huge amount of energy and can only synthesize a small amount of gold. In terms of cost, it is not worth it at all.
It's different now. Energy has become free, and the cost of energy is basically negligible.
Zuo Dajun nodded repeatedly and said: "That is, there is no comparison between the past and the present. When it comes to changes, there are too many. What kind of life do we live now? What kind of life did we live in the past? From the big He said, in the past, if the earth exploded, we humans would definitely be wiped out. Now, even if the solar system explodes, we humans will also be wiped out." In the past, most people struggled for a better life. , many people are busy day and night in order to live a better life.
But now, everyone can live the life that only the super rich could live in the past. Su Zhe said with a smile: "That's for sure. It's not the past now. We humans can survive without relying on the earth or stars. Of course, we are still in the early stages of the development of the interstellar era, and there are still many chances of being destroyed by the group. It’s dangerous, just wait until we get through the early stages of development.” It can be said that after the success of the proton nuclear fusion device, humans will no longer need to rely on stars to survive.
At this time, humans can live anywhere in the universe. Zuo Dajun nodded and said: "Yes, but it will take at least ten or twenty years for our next generation to grow up. By the way, Su Zhe, congratulations, you will be a father so soon, by the way." , how many children did you want in the first batch?" As he said that, he looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming.
Su Zhe smiled and said: "I want a hundred." Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "I am also a hundred." Zuo Dajun joked: "I don't know why there is a limit of one hundred children. As far as I am concerned, the first batch of at least You want 500 children, but 100 is the maximum limit. I can’t figure it out.” The first batch of the population increase plan has a limit, and a couple can only have a maximum of 100 children.
In his opinion, it is absolutely possible to ask for more children. After all, children’s food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all taken care of by domestic robots. One sheep can drive ten sheep. It is absolutely possible to ask for more children. You must know that the development of human beings requires a large population. , just because of population limitations, it limits the current speed of human development.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Dajun, you can do the same as Su Zhe and let your wife raise you. This is not within the scope of the population increase plan. You can have as many children as you want, even ten at a time. Yes." Zuo Dajun smiled awkwardly and said, "It depends on luck, you can't just get it if you want it." Su Zhe smiled and said nothing.
With a wave of his hand, the picture in front of the three people changed. What appeared on the picture was the picture of two or three stars in the south gate.
In the picture, the three stars are all developing resources. Except for those planets that have been deliberately left behind, the other planets are in the process of being developed.
The goal is clear. The final fate of these planets is to be mined out and disappear into space.
This is the fate of these planets. As for the three stars, it is no exaggeration to say that the three stars have been surrounded. The reason for this is to utilize their energy.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "This is the truth. You can't conceive a child just because you can. It all depends on luck. My wife and I have a plan, and everything goes as it comes. By the way, the development of Nanmen 2 is still It's pretty fast. At the current mining speed, it only takes half a year for Nanmen Erneng to mine all the resources." Su Zhe nodded and said, "It will take at most one year, but based on the current trend, it will only take half a year. Time will be enough to complete the development of resources, but now Nanmen 2 is a bit unstable. Nanmen 2 is a triple star. The current mining will soon break the balance. Let me tell you, the Penglai Space City and the already arrived third The Earth must leave the range of Nanmen 2 early, it is too dangerous." Nanmen 2 is a triple star system, which itself is not unstable. Coupled with the current development of Nanmen 2, it will More unstable.
To put it bluntly, the balance of Nanmen II may be broken at some point, and by then, the entire Nanmen II may be in chaos.
If Penglai Space City and Second Earth remain in Nanmen II, they will bear huge risks. Zuo Dajun smiled and said: "That can't be done. As far as I know, Penglai Space City and Second Earth will soon leave Nanmen II. Their next target is a star with only one star seven light years away from the solar system. system, you won’t encounter the same problems as Nanmen II here.” As he said that, Zuo Dajun waved his hand, and what appeared in front of the three people was a star system. There was only one star in this star system, and there were still other stars in the star system. There are eleven planets and other celestial bodies.
In this star system, there is a huge engineering fleet, and the main task of this fleet is to develop and construct this star system.
Looking at this star system, Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "This star system is named Apocalypse, and it will be built into the second living place of mankind. It is reasonable for the Penglai Space City and the Second Earth to go to Apocalypse." Su Zhe nodded and said: "That's good, that's good. No matter what, we can't stay in Nanmen 2. After all, it's too dangerous. If we're not careful, we'll be doomed. We can't risk human lives." Nanmen 2 The instability is no joke.
In the most extreme case, it is not impossible for three stars to collide together. If such an extreme situation really occurs, everything in Nanmen Er will be destroyed.
"Of course, this is no joke." Zuo Dajun said,
"By the way, I heard that Yan Da had an idea for stars. He said that of the three stars of Nanmen II, only one star, Proxima Centauri, would be left. The other two stars would be mined. We will use the resources to build an industrial zone around the solar system. In other words, Yanda’s heart is big enough, and he dares to set his sights on stars.” Yanda’s method is to transform, and start with the most difficult training from the beginning. .
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "It's true. Yanda's application has been approved, and the star mining plan is almost complete. Speaking of which, Yanda's words are correct. To build an industrial zone around the solar system, rely on The resources of those planets are far from enough, and the stars must be mined. After all, the stars account for the largest proportion of resources in a star system." The reason why the relevant departments agreed so quickly was mainly because of resource issues.
For now, although energy has achieved freedom, resources have almost achieved freedom. From one perspective, as long as energy has achieved freedom, resources have almost achieved freedom. If you think about it, you will know that energy is sufficient. Then resources can be continuously recycled.
This is when the scale remains unchanged, but the current situation is that the scale is constantly increasing, the population is increasing, and the scope of human control is increasing, which means that many more resources need to be added.
Under the current situation, the resources provided by those planets are far from enough. If you want to mine more planets, you can only go to farther star systems. The distance is too far, and it takes time to go back and forth.
The key point is that compared to the star itself, the resources of the planet are still too few. Just like the solar system, the sun accounts for more than 90% of the mass of the entire solar system. This is the core of the star plan.
Su Zhe waved his hand and said with a smile: "Look, this is the process of mining the two stars of Nanmen. You know, this process has been discussed by many scholars. To be honest, we will all take this step sooner or later. ." When Su Zhe waved his hand, the scene in front of the three people changed. A huge star was surrounded by a huge device. The plasma on the surface of the star was continuously sucked out by the device, like a fire dragon.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Dajun was a little excited and asked: "Is this using a strong magnetic field?"
"Yes!" Fan Xiaoming said: "Don't look at it, this plan also has huge risks. Think about it, originally a star was fine, and we were continuously extracting the star's matter. In this case, an accidental It will break the balance of the star. To be honest, it would be okay if the change is slow, the balance is constantly broken, and then the balance is rebuilt. If the change is not big, it is still acceptable, but the big balance will always be destroyed. Now we have no idea what the final result will be." When stellar matter is extracted, the balance of the star will definitely be broken.
You know, this is also a triple star system. The planets are mined, and the stars are mined again. There are huge variables. It is really hard to say what will happen in the end.
Maybe it will lead to huge changes. Zuo Dajun thought for a while, nodded repeatedly and said: "This... mining those planets, mining the stars is still the core of the triple star system. This is crazy. If you don't pay attention, the entire Nanmen II will explode. Yes, really, this is not a joke. Should we think about it carefully? You know, Nanmen 2 is too close to the solar system. If we encounter the most extreme situation, it will affect the solar system, and maybe it will The human group is destroyed." Once the balance of Nanmen II is destroyed, there will be no shortage of chaos.
Su Zhe smiled and said: "Everyone has thought of this and prepared for the worst, so there cannot be one person in the space of South Gate 2. Also, we will take a lot of preventive measures. Having said that, this We took a risk this time, but I have to say that this risk is worth it. It is of great significance to the resource development and transformation of triple stars. If triple stars are understood, then it will be of great significance to the development and transformation of triple stars. The star system will be more certain." The development of Nanmen II is a major experimental test.
Fan Xiaoming said seriously: "Research is one thing, and resources are needed to build an industrial zone around the solar system. We need a huge amount of resources for construction. Mining the stars of Nanmen II is the beginning, and we will mine many stars later. To provide resources." It can be said that mining stars is the inevitable way.
As far as the entire universe is concerned, the mass of stars accounts for the majority. As for celestial bodies such as planets, their proportion is very small.
Mining stars is a sure thing when a lot of resources are needed. Take the industrial zone around the solar system as an example. The resources it requires are huge. How much would it cost if it relied solely on celestial bodies other than stars.
Zuo Dajun thought for a while and said: "The main component of stellar elements is hydrogen, and these hydrogens must be synthesized into other elements. This process will produce a lot of energy. Simply put, it requires a continuous nuclear fusion process. Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "That's it. For the current construction, we need energy and resources. We need this process. That's why we passed Yanda's application so simply. Look, this is a proton." The combination of nuclear fusion device and element synthesis equipment can obtain the energy we need on the one hand, and the resources we need on the other, the best of both worlds." As they spoke, a huge ring-shaped device appeared in front of the three of them.
Speaking of which, the proton nuclear fusion device and the element synthesis device are both variants of the accelerator. It can be said that this is an expansion of the proton nuclear fusion device.
If you say that all you need to start dying is energy, then after expansion, you need energy and various elements.
Su Zhe said with a smile: "Such a device is already under construction and will be completed soon. When it is completed, it will be the time to mine stars. Mining stars! I wouldn't have dared to think so in the past. As for now, , we will be able to realize it soon. This is the real freedom of energy and resources." Looking at the big guys, Zuo Dajun sighed and said: "We are so bold now, mining stars and using the resources mined from stars. , mainly hydrogen is used to obtain energy and other elements, and the stars in the triple star system are mined. This courage is really not ordinary. If you are not careful, the balance of Nanmen II will be broken, and the three stars will be installed in A black hole is formed together. Even if a black hole cannot be formed, a neutron star or something is formed, or a supernova explodes, we humans may be wiped out." Fan Xiaoming comforted: "Don't worry, we are all careful. During the mining process, the whole process is monitored to prevent the occurrence of extreme situations. Besides, our mining is a process and cannot be achieved overnight. To be honest, we need to conduct monitoring and analysis on a larger scale. Yes, these star systems around the solar system also have an influence on each other and are in a dynamic balance. Once this balance is broken, what changes will occur, we must take these into consideration."
