A week later.
In the provincial capital, in a group of small villas hidden in the mountains, Crozier and Greina were taking a rest in a courtyard of less than fifty square meters.
Since Crozier expressed a certain degree of surrender to Ye Ming in space, the two of them have felt the change in their treatment - if they were treated as prisoners before, then now they have "progressed" a little bit and changed. It became a "disguised" house arrest.
In principle, they could go to the human world, but they were euphemistically told that given their identities, it was recommended that they not show up in public and stay in this mountain villa to quietly think about what they should hand over to humans. A "Civilization Overview" report.
The attitude of humans is obvious, they need to know everything about the civilization of the Holy Empire.
As a counterpart, humans have also provided a large number of books, film and television works, and intelligent AI permissions for them to use, allowing them to have an in-depth understanding of the past and development of human civilization.
"Croz, can you understand?" Grena looked at the reinforced concrete jungle below the mountain that seemed to stretch to the sky, with an unusually complicated expression: "I can't understand that most of this subject is trapped in How can a civilization that has to stay on its home star due to gravity be able to burst out with such strong industrial capabilities?"
"Because of their AI." Crozier put down a popular science book about artificial intelligence in his hand, took off his glasses at the same time, and followed Grena's gaze to the city below the mountain. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly Xu Chang sighed: "We must admit that through artificial intelligence... they have created an amazing, almost infallible, omniscient and omnipotent..."
"god."
Grena raised her head slightly, but also fell into silence.
From the moment they came into contact with humans, they noticed human mechanical structures. It can even be said that along the way, what they paid most attention to were those robots - because they represented automation and a complete explosion of productivity. and liberation.
Of course, the Holy Empire also has a similar computing system and intelligence system based on electromagnetic effects, and even because this system is connected to the intelligent brain, it has an innate intelligent operation method that is superior to others. The electromagnetic computing system, in turn, can reduce the demand of the intelligent brain on the biological brain. It can be said that it is the most reasonable intelligent method found by the Holy Empire so far.
But humans are different.
Human artificial intelligence has no interference from the brain at all. It relies on the thinking model born from its own algorithms and operating rules to accurately judge human thoughts and then serve human beings.
What's this?
This is God.
What makes Crozier even more frightened is that the core "brain" of this "god" does not seem to be based on a simple electromagnetic switch theory, but on the special properties of elementary particles!
This is, even in the Holy Empire, an extremely cutting-edge advanced technology that even the Paradise cannot give an answer to!
Let's put it this way, in the Holy Empire, the Seer Academy once locked photons, one of the fundamental particles of the universe, and created a photon computer through the intrinsic properties of photons - in certain computing fields, its calculation speed can even reach The brain surpasses all terminals in the collection!
But today, it can only be used for specific operations, and cannot perform routine tasks and control like an intelligent brain.
In silence, Grena snorted softly: "But all the knowledge of this god is given by humans, and is not omniscient and omnipotent like the Promised Land."
"If it were before, I would have thought that the Paradise is omniscient and omnipotent, but now...human beings have at least shown abilities that even the Paradise cannot achieve."
"That means you think that a civilization in an isolated galaxy can defeat us who own the entire universe?"
"I don't think so, I just think... maybe we rely too much on the Paradise, too much on the ancestors." Crozier said, stood up and squinted his eyes slightly against the sun: "The omniscience and omnipotence of the Paradise has decided The upper limit of our thinking.”
Grena looked at him confused.
Crozier was unwilling to explain. He just lowered his eyes and sighed softly.
These days, humans no longer show videos full of warnings and reminders. At the same time, they have opened up more permissions, giving him the opportunity to come into contact with more human thoughts, especially scientific thoughts.
After putting aside his status as the preparatory executive of the Holy Empire, he began to try to observe and think about the current height of human civilization from the connotation of human civilization.
And the result of thinking is...
As a civilization born in an isolated galaxy, human beings have pursuits and ideas that are not in line with the height of their civilization. They began to try to understand the entire universe before they could break through the shackles of gravity.
It's as if... a baby that hasn't even learned to crawl has already begun to look at the mountain peaks 10,000 meters away, and fantasizes about growing wings and flying over.
The connotation of this civilization is exactly the same as the original sacred civilization.
There is no doubt that the sacred civilization, the Promised Land, is great. But such greatness, like the bright sun in the sky, while protecting the successors behind, also forever blocks the sight of these successors.
"Humans have a saying that the ignorant are fearless." Crozier turned his head and said slowly: "Human civilization has been in a state of ignorance for a long time, and precisely because of ignorance, they are seeking knowledge. They are fearless on the road.”
"For example, they dare to resist the Legion?"
"Yes - but the reason for daring to resist the legion is more because they have no escape route. It is because the brutal behavior of the legion in the past years has left them with a psychological shadow."
Grena didn't really agree with Crozier's words at first, but now that she heard Crozier complaining about the arrogance of the Legion...she suddenly agreed.
——Even though she believes that the safety of herself and Crozier is closely related to the strength of the Legion, her position has not changed after all.
The legion's behavior towards low-level civilizations is too cruel and must be corrected.
"So, you also feel that the Legion needs to be corrected, huh?"
"Yes." Crozier nodded and looked towards the door.
I saw the robot standing guard at the door opening the door.
Two men and one woman, three Earth humans appeared in the courtyard without any expressions.
Crozier and Greina looked at each other, and the latter stood up knowingly and looked at the person with him.
"Hello, I'm Wu Haitao from the CNY Information Office." The man in the lead looked to be in his early thirties. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the two of them: "Next, I want to make a simple inquiry to you two."
Crozier was slightly startled when he heard the word "ask". Although he still cannot fully understand human language, he can still understand the key words.
Ask, not interrogate.
"Where?" Crozier said in a deep voice.
"It's fine here." Wu Haitao looked at Crozier quietly, reached out and took a paper folder from the female staff member behind him. After opening it, he breathed out softly. Shen Sheng asked: "What is the synthesis path of the central material of your 0-resistance conductor?"
Crozier's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this!
But before he opened his mouth, Wu Haitao continued: "Don't tell me that as an honors student of the Seer Academy and a preparatory executive officer, you don't know what a zero-resistance conductor means."
Crozier took a breath instantly and kept staring at Wu Haitao: "I know what a 0-resistance conductor means, but I don't know the synthesis path."
Wu Haitao did not continue to speak, but stared at Crozier closely.
It was so quiet in the courtyard that one could even hear the sounds of returning birds.
As time passed by, Wu Haitao seemed to confirm Crozier's unknown synthesis path. He looked away and turned to the next page.
"So, how do phase-change metals constrain the core material to achieve the superconducting phase? Where do phase-change metals come from?"
"I would like to kindly remind you that we have been able to make corresponding zero-resistance conductors at normal temperature and pressure. This inquiry is just for a simple information comparison." Wu Haitao stared at the other party again: "I hope you can cooperate."
…
…
Provincial Department of Transportation, Brain Computer Center, Ye Ming's Office.
Ye Ming sat on the sofa, gently stroking the superconductor removed from the Tula with his fingers, watching the magical polymorphic phase-change metal showing incredible deformation under the induction of bioelectricity, and his whole body There was an expression on his face that I didn't know how to describe.
This metal is called "God-given steel". As early as when the executor sent the first video, he analyzed it through the magical chair in the video and believed that it was a polymorphic phase-change metal. .
But he didn't expect that this thing... would actually appear on a superconductor.
A week ago, the Mars scientific research team violently dismantled the energy storage system of the anti-matter main gun, and then confirmed the Meissner effect through magnets. Then, with Ye Ming's consent, they removed the eight pieces without damaging the structure as much as possible. The metal with superconducting state was removed.
Now that it has been dismantled, it must be tested.
According to the equipment on the Mars base, it was accurately measured that these eight metals are real superconductors, and it was also determined that these superconductors are composed of two layers of material, the outer layer is God-given steel, and the inner layer is similar to ceramics Polycrystalline structure.
Since there is no complete superconducting experimental equipment on Mars, these eight metals were quickly sent back to Earth.
Ye Ming is not a superconducting expert, but the Brain-Computer Center has two academicians with backgrounds in materials and has the most advanced environment at present. Coupled with his personal reasons... so two of them fell into the provincial capital.
A week has passed, and the structure of this normal temperature and pressure superconductor has been completely measured.
It is a copper-doped lead apatite crystal structure in which the superconducting phase is a one-dimensional structure, and the principle is exactly the same as the previous internal force thinking in the academic community. But according to Aita's simulation, in order for humans to complete such a structure, the current only way is to heat and replace particles - commonly known as burning a furnace to make elixirs.
And the synthesis in this way... is particularly eye-catching.
These superconductors on Tula show a completely consistent, even almost perfect crystal structure...so that its superconducting phase is perfect.
Ye Ming's eyes stayed on this god-given steel.
Compared with room temperature superconductivity, his current interest has even turned to this special phase change metal!
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the office door, and the next moment, He Mo and Zhou Xiangnan appeared outside the door at the same time.
…
"You are right, this phase-change metal does have a special crystal structure that can change its own stress and is highly sensitive to biological currents - we even suspect that it can be programmed!"
Zhou Xiangnan took the lead in reporting the testing status of the past few days to Ye Ming, and his face was full of energy.
As a materials scientist, being able to see an unheard-of special material with your own eyes is no less exciting than particle physicists seeing the legendary "high-dimensional particles", Slanzi matter.
"Programming?" Ye Ming was slightly startled and raised his hand from the phase change metal: "Do you have an idea?"
"No, I'm just guessing!" Zhou Xiangnan laughed, sat next to Ye Ming, and then reached out to touch the phase change metal.
As expected, the piece of phase-change metal immediately squirmed—although it was only a slight change, it was still visible to the naked eye.
"That's just your imagination." Ye Ming smiled slightly, then looked at He Mo.
Ever since Su Zi went to Blue Star, He Mo had returned to him - of course, he was no longer a secretary, but a deputy director stationed in the provincial capital.
After all, the bases on the moon are on track and she is no longer needed.
He Mo walked to the water dispenser, poured himself a glass of water, then took a sip before nodding with a smile.
"Hired."
Ye Ming's pupils shrank slightly: "What did you say?"
"The phase-change metal comes from Aila, which is the planet where the Executor's base is located." He Mo breathed out softly: "Gloria and the other sin descendants collected this metal."
Ye Ming took a gentle breath: "Then what? Where is the superconducting material?"
"Then the superconducting material... was collected by them."
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment: "Collected? Can this thing be collected?"
"Yes, collected from the high-temperature mining area of a slave galaxy. And... they have not used this fusion superconductor on a large scale. Guess why?"
Ye Ming looked at the coffee table attentively: "Because it is a polycrystalline stone."
"Yes, and... they have a lot of silver. At the same time, they have just used this room-temperature superconductor - the places where their spacecraft need to use superconductivity are all in the universe, and the universe naturally has low temperatures."
He Mo took another sip of water as she spoke, and her eyes fell on the piece of metal on the table. There was regret in her eyes: "It seems that we can't use it?"
Ye Ming pursed his lips and frowned slightly.
After a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head.
"As long as we can optimize the synthesis path, even stones can be made into coils."
