MTL - Number One Player-Chapter 199 sea ​​of ​​stars

Energy is one of the most important driving forces for the development of the times.

The first industrial revolution was driven by the steam engine, and the second industrial revolution was driven by the generator. Every great change in energy will bring about the earth-shaking of the times.

Because of this, Lu Yanchi's internal reference article was just handed in, and it immediately attracted great attention.

Hua Guo held a small meeting with great efficiency. Experts in related fields and bigwigs, some real people rushed to the scene, some connected by phone, and participated in this conference that is likely to be related to the development plan for the next century.

In the Yongliang City Base, in a conference room with a high degree of confidentiality, Lu Yanchi was standing on the podium, explaining his ideas for the invention of "Lingshi Energy".

Due to the presence of non-professionals, Lu Yanchi is trying his best to convert the original paper full of complex logic of various mathematical principles and various derivation and analysis into simple and easy-to-understand metaphors.

"...To talk about the discovery of the application of Lingshi energy," behind Lu Yanchi, a tree-like structure was displayed on the PPT, "We must first look at the properties of evolutionary factors."

"In the early days," Lu Yanchi pointed to the word "no attribute" at the top of the PPT, "We found that the first, that is, the evolutionary factor in the air, has no attribute."

"However, when it enters the body, it has properties." Lu Yanchi's fingers slipped from the top of the tree map and pointed to the many branches below.

"Wooden, water, and soil properties in combination with most plants."

"Metallic, wood, water, fire, earth, space, spiritual, etc..."

"And we humans are also a type of animals," Lu Yanchi withdrew his hand from the PPT screen. "Compared with animals, which are more restricted by their body structure, there are more possibilities for human's supernatural attributes. ."

"[White Mist Mutation] dungeon, and the skills of many dungeons in the video of "The Extraordinary Age", most of them have certain attributes, such as the [Space Transfer] exchanged by Minister Mu Shiming, such as the [Thorn Area] exchanged by Minister Shang Yinhe ] Wait," Lu Yanchi switched to the next PPT. In this PPT, many copies and skills are marked with different colors to represent their attributes.

"And some have no attributes, such as the most common [Critical Strike], [Critical Strike Probability Bonus] and so on."

"After having attributes, evolution factors have their own characteristics," Lu Yanchi said, "I won't go into details here. This is also very complicated. In short, evolution factors with different attributes have their own special characteristics. For properties, you can refer to the related papers of the Ernest International Joint Institute, they have a deep research in this area.”

"And we can use the principle of the energy characteristics of evolutionary factors, that is, the principle of 'spirit energy'," said this, Lu Yanchi's eyes lit up, "it lies in the process of giving evolutionary factors fire attributes. "

"Fire," on the PPT behind Lu Yanchi, a comparison screenshot of "The Extraordinary Age: Mountain of Flames" appeared. Compared with the turbulent heat in the early stage, there was an extremely obvious contrast, "burning, exploding, Passionate, passionate."

"It was meant to be an expression of energy."

"And what we're going to do," Lu Yanchi swiped his fingers from the dead on the left to the raging fire on the right, "is to turn the non-attribute spirit stone into a fire-attribute spirit stone, and then use the characteristics of the fire-attribute power, Turn it into usable energy—"

"And this," Lu Yanchi withdrew his hand and said in a voice full of reverence and longing, "that's what Jiuqu suggested to us in "The Extraordinary Age: Mountain of Fire", which is—"

"How to use Lingshi energy!"

Having said that, Lu Yanchi manipulated the PPT behind him and played the screen onto a screenshot of a video.

In that screenshot, a mushroom cloud was rising, and countless gunpowder smoke filled the world of flames.

"This," Lu Yanchi stared at the projection of the video screenshot, with a flash of enthusiastic appreciation in his eyes, "is the key to unlocking the energy revolution."

"I was inspired by watching "The Extraordinary Age: Mountain of Fire"," Lu Yanchi restrained his tone and reluctantly restrained his admiration for Jiuqu, "I was acutely aware that Jiuqu was in it. , and decided to conduct research in this area.”

Many times, scientific discoveries are a matter of inspiration.

For example, the 19th century scientist Kekule invented and deconstructed the benzene ring after he woke up because he saw ouroboros in a dream; another example, Edison once said, "Genius is one percent inspiration, Plus ninety-nine percent sweat, but that one percent inspiration is the most important, even more important than that ninety-nine percent sweat”…

In the scientific world, many people attach great importance to their source of inspiration, their own muse;

And Jiuqu's "Transcendent Times: Mountain of Flames" is the source of inspiration for Lu Yanchi's cross-generational invention, and his muse.

How could Lu Yanchi not look at this video with a deeply fascinated eye?

"...And I believe," Lu Yanchi finally took his eyes off the screenshot of the video, "there should be no shortage of scientists like me who understand the hints in the world, so the time is actually very urgent."

"At that time, it happened that Dr. Ni Qingzhou from the Ernest International Joint Research Institute was visiting the base in Yongliang City," Lu Yanchi began to mention the co-signer of his paper published on the arxiv website. , They have a lot of accumulation in the conversion of attributes of spirit stones, and they already have a relatively mature way of converting non-attribute spirit stones into fire attribute spirit stones."

"Therefore," the expression on Lu Yanchi's face returned to a calm state, "I directly reached a cooperation with their research institute, borrowed the research materials they have accumulated in the past, and used mine to exchange it from the [Riddle Link] copy. 's [Spiritual Flash] skills, and finally successfully completed the research."

"[A flash of inspiration] is really a magical skill," an expert at the meeting said in a tone of superficial admiration, careful taste and a bit sour, "The ability of the spiritual department is so strong."

Unfortunately, he failed to pass the pre-attribute verification of the [Riddle Chain] dungeon, and became the bottom of the contempt chain among the new trends in the scientific research community for clearing the [Riddle Chain] dungeon.

"No," Lu Yanchi smiled humbly and commented casually, "The subject is very important, the direction is very important, and the people are also very important."

Of course Lu Yanchi was right.

On the surface, looking at the ability of the spiritual system, it is simply a god-like skill. But at present, there are at least four-digit passers of [Riddle Chain] dungeons all over the world.

To do research, the subject is very important.

The ability to solve problems is a very important ability, but the ability to find problems is even more high-end.

In the scientific research community, a tutor who gives a topic to a student can often occupy the position of the first author. Even if 99% of the work in this topic is done by the student, as long as the problem and direction are controlled by the tutor, then the tutor will do it. The 1% of the credit is more important than the 99% of the hard work.

In addition, doing scientific research, direction is also very important.

The top experts in some sub-fields are not much worse in terms of IQ and aptitude. However, some subdivisions are silent and no one cares; in some subdivisions, there are many honors and crowns.

Choosing the wrong direction often means wasting a long golden time.

And lastly, and most importantly, the researchers themselves.

A junior high school student has the [Spiritual Flash] function, and if he is given another 100 years, he will not be able to discover any spiritual stone energy.

And Lu Yanchi, who also has [Spiritual Flash], can detect the hints in Jiuqu video in a short period of time, find a feasible direction for research, obtain enough information accumulated by predecessors, and then make full use of [Spiritual One] Now] in that short and abundant period of inspiration, I completed the derivation of the whole link, and I still have the spare energy to design a rough draft of the energy boosting device.

He really deserves to be the first genius in the world to clear the [Riddle Chain] dungeon, and the clearance time only took 4 hours.

By the way, when Lu Yanchi cleared the [Riddles] dungeon, the new trend of competition in the scientific research community for speed of customs clearance had not yet picked up, so he was not in a hurry when he cleared the customs, and dawdled on unrelated things for a long time.

If Lu Yanchi is now asked to play the first difficulty riddle chain copy, maybe he can challenge the current fastest speed, which is also possible.

"In short," Lu Yan ignored the expert and continued to explain, "I have successfully sorted out from the non-attribute spirit stone to the fire attribute spirit stone, and then the energy is exported in the form of heat, and finally converted into electricity and other A whole chain of forms of energy.”

"Among them, the most critical step," Lu Yanchi said, "is still the process of slowly exporting fire-type spirit stones in the form of heat."

"And the subsequent path to convert heat into electric energy and other forms of energy," Lu Yanchi switched the PPT and released the design schematic of the nuclear power plant, "It is completely possible to refer to nuclear reactors, or even ordinary thermal power plants, that is: using solid The law of heat transfer heats the water to produce steam, which then drives the steam turbine, which in turn drives the generator, which produces a steady stream of electricity."

"The above," Lu Yanchi concluded, "is the principle and logical process of my invention of 'Ling Stone Energy' this time."

"Thank you, Minister Lu," asked a scientific research expert in the energy industry sitting in the audience after Lu Yanchi's speech ended, "Your explanation is very clear and easy to understand, but I would like to ask, this new What are the advantages of 'Lingshi Energy' compared with nuclear energy and traditional oil and other energy sources?"

"First of all, it's very safe," Lu Yanchi became excited when he said this. Obviously, he has great confidence in the new energy he invented, "There will be no danger of nuclear leakage, nuclear explosion, nuclear radiation, etc. ."

"Secondly, it's very clean," Lu Yanchi continued, "The whole process of inhaling the non-attribute evolutionary factor from the air, then converting it into the fire-attribute evolutionary factor, and then converting the fire-attribute evolutionary factor into heat, will not produce at all. any pollution."

"Third, it is a renewable energy source," said Lu Yanchi, "evolutionary plants have been producing evolutionary factors continuously, just like oxygen in the air. At present, we do not It needs to be worried that it will cut off one day."

"In the process of producing energy, even the ore itself is not consumed and is renewable," Lu Yan stepped forward and picked up the spirit stone sample on the table. A different kind of charm, "After the fire attribute evolution factor in the ore is consumed, it becomes an ordinary stone, like this."

Having said that, Lu Yanchi put down the spirit stone and picked up a very ordinary ore instead: "However, after filling it with evolutionary factors, it becomes a spirit stone again."

"Fourth, its cost is very low," Lu Yanchi returned to the podium. "Dr. Ni Qingzhou was the first to discover the phenomenon of ore solidification evolution factors during the apocalyptic period of the video "The Creator".

"After that, under the threat of a possible doomsday in the world, the cost of the entire process of ore solidifying evolutionary factors has been continuously compressed, and various major countries have insisted on carrying out such projects."

"In addition," Lu Yanchi also proposed a production plan with higher efficiency and lower cost, "Further speaking, if a batch of plants with high production capacity of evolution factors are cultivated, the concentration of evolution factors in a small space can be greatly increased. If so, then the production cost of this spirit stone will become lower."

"Conservative estimates..." He thought for a moment and said, "At least a third lower than it is now."

"Finally, I personally think it is also the most important point," Lu Yanchi raised his voice slightly to emphasize, "that is, the whole process of the fire attribute spirit stone being exported in the form of heat is controllable. Due to the evolutionary factor It can be manipulated by humans, and its output power can be high or low.”

"That is to say," Lu Yanchi said, "We can increase the rate of fire-type spirit stones by accumulating the amount of fire-type spirit stones, so that its output power is close to that of a nuclear power plant;"

"You can also use a small fire attribute spirit stone to reduce the output rate of the fire attribute spirit stone, making it more gentle and more suitable for daily use."

"Wait a minute," someone in the group of experts in the audience sharply put forward a rebuttal opinion, "In this case, if the fire attribute spirit stone is popularized in society, will it not cause any explosions and malicious acts of destruction?"

"No, this can be completely limited by some standards," Lu Yanchi replied, obviously thinking about it for a long time, "The output power of the spirit stone is affected by the size, texture type, And the storage capacity of the evolutionary factor is limited, except for some ores with a particularly high capacity ratio for storing spirit stone energy, after ordinary ores become spirit stones, they can’t actually achieve a high output power.”

"If you want to achieve the output power of a more advanced explosion," after thinking about it, Lu Yanchi simply spoke with an example, which seemed more persuasive, "You must have a half-human-sized fire attribute spirit stone."

"Presumably," said this, Lu Yan smiled lately, "No one would be stupid enough to carry a half-person-height stone to carry out a terrorist attack..."

"As long as we limit the size of the spirit stones that circulate outside and the texture type of the spirit stones themselves," Lu Yanchi added after taking back his smile, "then we can largely prevent the use of fire attribute spirit stones for explosions and malicious intent. destructive behavior."

The explanation was convincing, and the questioning expert nodded thoughtfully, making a few key points in his notes.

Immediately afterwards, another scientific research expert in the energy industry raised a question: "You said just now that the output power of fire attribute spirit stones can be high or low, which is the most important point. Why do you think so?"

"Because," Lu Yanchi pondered while organizing the language, "this means that the ultra-small mini-fire attribute spirit stone power station has become possible in society."

"And that means countless possibilities."

"For example," Lu Yanchi's language became fluent, "this greatly reduces the loss in current transmission."

"At present, 80% of the electricity used in the world is consumed in the transmission process of the entire circuit."

Lu Yanchi first said a piece of data that has troubled the power transmission industry for a long time, and then went on to say, "And if you replace it with a new energy such as spirit stone energy, a large spirit stone, an evolution factor charging and a fire attribute conversion device, With an energy central control device, the loss in power transmission can be completely eliminated."

"That will be an unprecedented new era," Lu Yanchi deduced. "Electricity transmission may directly become history."

"And in this case, the construction of some long-distance circuit lines that cost a lot of money, long distances, and extremely high maintenance costs," Lu Yan spread his hands late, "it became something that could be discarded."

"This will greatly reduce the cost of infrastructure construction."

"Another example," Lu Yanchi began to talk about the application of grounding gas after talking about the high-level scene, "I can now think that using this kind of charger can solve the problem of standby charging of mobile phones and long-term use of computers in society. , the application of new energy vehicles and many other issues.”

"This is just the possibility of reducing the output power of the fire attribute spirit stone," Lu Yanchi raised his head slightly, "As for the possibility of increasing the output power of the fire attribute spirit stone, then wider."

"For example, we are now plagued by chemical propulsion in the aerospace industry, so that the cost of aerospace is high, the weight of the space shuttle cannot be increased, and the distances cannot be explored."

When it comes to the journey of space, Lu Yanchi's tone has obviously improved: "However, if you replace it with an ore that has a very high ratio of spirit stones, you can perfectly achieve more energy with less weight. reserves, and high power energy output.”

"Moreover, we have not yet figured out the principle of how evolutionary plants produce more evolutionary factors," he said with a longing for the future, "If we can come up with a technology that artificially breeds more evolutionary factors in the future if…"

Lu Yanchi said decisively:

"Then, the problem of the space shuttle's energy endurance will no longer be a big problem!"

"What you said is a bit false," an expert in the field of nuclear power energy asked with obvious hostility, "What about the application?"

His tone was almost aggressive: "Have you thought about how to advance this application?

"Of course," Lu Yanchi's expression was still very calm. Of course, he had thought about this for a long time. "In my thinking, on the one hand, a Lingshi energy power station can be built and added to the existing power grid."

"In this way," Lu Yanchi switched the PPT and released the sketches he had prepared earlier, "we can provide cheaper and more abundant electricity without the need for a small transformation of the existing power grid."

"On the other hand," he switched to the PPT again, "it is to promote the application of spiritual stone energy in life."

"In this regard," Lu Yanchi said, "my plan is to use the spirit stone energy as much as possible without making too much modification to the original equipment, referring to the idea of ​​the weapon booster we made before."

"In this way, the cost of retrofitting old energy equipment can be greatly reduced."

"Last night, taking advantage of the aftermath of the [Spiritual Flash] skill," Lu Yanchi minimized the PPT and pulled out a draft scan, "I drove out a simple sketch of the 'energy boosting device'. "

"Although it still needs some refinement, the general idea is already there." Looking at this sketch, Lu Yanchi felt a little satisfied. This is a genius idea, which perfectly bypasses some of the current old ideas Restrictions on equipment modification, "This device includes the entire process of converting non-attribute spirit stones into fire-attribute spirit stones and exporting them, as well as absorbing evolutionary factors in the air to produce non-attribute spirit stones."

"This kind of thinking is really amazing!" An expert in electric power applications, staring at this sketch with obsessive eyes, exclaimed.

"Theoretically, it can be used directly on existing cars, planes, high-speed rail, home grids, and even mobile computers," he said.

Lu Yanchi smiled at the speaker, suppressed a little pride in his heart, and continued, "Of course, the actual application still needs more testing and detailed adjustment, and the current design is too bloated and cumbersome, and it needs a certain amount of work. streamline."

"This is really a big cake." A sigh came from the phone.

"It's also an edible, accessible, and very tempting pie." Lu Yanchi smiled.

There is an essential difference between the disruptive productivity change and the usual technological improvement.

How can a carriage outrun a car? How can a car outrun a plane? How can an airplane be comparable to a space rocket? No matter how the former is improved, it cannot be compared to the subversive progress of the latter.

And this subversive progress contains countless possibilities.

Lu Yanchi couldn't help but looked up and looked out the window.

The conference room he was in was underground, the window was full of steel, and there was no blue sky in sight.

But he still seemed to be able to see the blue sky through those reinforced iron walls, the bright stars above the blue sky, and the vast universe symbolized by those stars.

The sea of ​​stars...

The author has something to say:

The foreshadowing of the spirit stone was buried in the time of the creator, and it is only now dug up.
