Chapter 889 Chapter 9 It's nice to take shelter under a big tree

The space carrier was moving slowly and rolling slowly in the starry sky. Chu Fei stood behind the porthole, quietly looking at the huge white dwarf in front of him, which was the sun of the Tenglong Galaxy.

Although I have been here for more than a year, I am still shocked every time I see this scene.

In fact, the so-called "slow" movement of the space carrier is also relative to space. In fact, the space carrier and the entire formation are rotating around the star, and because the orbit is very close, the speed is as high as 56 kilometers per second.

The turning speed of the space carrier itself is one circle in 8 hours, which means that the time for a day and night to alternate is 8 hours.

8 hours is a time that has been strictly proven and tested.

Being too close to a star and having too much sunlight would cause the spacecraft's cooling system to operate at high load, and would also cause psychological stress on humans.

The sun is so close and the light is so strong that it actually creates a certain psychological pressure. In fact, the strong light has been filtered, otherwise the direct temperature can reach more than 500 degrees.

But if the time is too short, it will affect work and cause some pressure on the spacecraft structure, life support system, etc. And if the time is too short, it will also affect work and life.

After comprehensive consideration, an 8-hour rollover cycle was finally chosen.

It's been more than a year, and I've gotten used to the life. Even at work, I'm still making rapid progress - to put it bluntly, I'm still quite a distance away from success.

The solar exploration project is also operating efficiently and producing continuous results; these results have become Chu Fei's knowledge foundation and provided him with wisdom.

Xinghai Development Group attaches great importance to this star. It can be said that it is the first exploration task at present, ranking before Gaia Secret Realm. Xinghai Development Group has been preparing for this exploration for hundreds of years.

There are two reasons for such a large investment.

One is the star aspect and the other is the technical aspect.

As for stars, this white dwarf is currently an ideal exploration target and an ideal star.

A normal star is just a big fireball, which is impossible to explore and there is actually not much point in exploring it.

If you want to explore stars, the most ideal one is actually a black dwarf.

A black dwarf is the final stage of a white dwarf. It has completely cooled down and theoretically has a completely solid surface with a low temperature.

Compared with black dwarfs, there are also brown dwarfs.

Brown dwarfs are the smallest stars. They are not the remnants of dead stars like white dwarfs, but normal stars.

It is estimated that if the mass of Jupiter increases by 13 times, it is possible to cause nuclear fusion in the core of the planet, generating weak heat. Because the light is dim and almost unobservable, it is named a "brown" dwarf.

Brown dwarfs are also normal stars and are still alive. Moreover, because they react slowly, their lifespan is very long, tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of years.

Brown dwarfs also have no solid surface. It is speculated that a good brown dwarf would have a warm atmosphere suitable for human habitation. Humans could live on a continent of floating balloons, with energy directly from the center of the earth (the sun).

According to the information Chu Fei recently obtained from Xinghai Development Group, there are almost no natural brown dwarfs in nature, but there are many artificial ones. This thing is difficult for the former Yanhuang Federation, but it is not impossible to achieve.

By using technologies such as gravitational strings and gravitational slingshots, planets like Jupiter can be moved in the interstellar space, and then multiple planets can be caused to collide and merge.

Some star systems have many large gas planets, so the Yanhuang Federation made many attempts back then, and many of them were successful.

However, the evolution of a planet is calculated at least in thousands or tens of thousands of years. Until the eve of the collapse of the Yanhuang Federation, those successful "artificial brown dwarfs" had not yet stabilized, and the storm speed on them could reach more than ten kilometers per second, which could tear steel apart.

Brown dwarfs exist, but if we want them to be suitable for human survival, we may need to "calm down."

Above brown dwarfs are red dwarfs, which have a shorter lifespan than brown dwarfs, but are still in the tens of billions of years. Red dwarfs are much brighter, but their light is still weak, red or dark red.

The next largest star is a yellow dwarf, like our sun. It starts to shine brighter. Then there are subgiants, which are even bigger and shine white. Then there are giant stars, like blue giants, which shine brighter and appear blue. The brighter the star, the shorter its lifespan. Some super blue giants may only live for tens of millions of years.

At the end of the yellow dwarf, it will enter the red giant stage and then collapse. The giant star may explode as a supernova.

A yellow dwarf star like the sun will become a white dwarf after collapsing. After cooling for tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of years, the white dwarf will become a black dwarf.

A yellow dwarf star usually has a lifespan of 3 to 5 billion years, and a white dwarf star takes another 10 billion years to cool down. Therefore, no black dwarf has been discovered so far. It is said that this universe is relatively young and does not have "age spots".

In this case, if you want to find an ideal star, you can only look for a white dwarf.

But white dwarfs that are too small are not worth exploring because the pressure is not enough to form solid matter.

Only if the white dwarf is massive enough and has cooled for a long enough time, a small amount of solid matter can appear. This is the "hadronic material".

Hadronic materials are "subatomic" materials composed of quarks, antiquarks, gluons, etc.

A normal atom is: quarks combine to form protons, which then combine with electrons to form neutrons, and then electrons combine again to form atoms.

Because of these reasons, the solar exploration project can now only explore the white dwarf in the Tamlong system, and must explore this white dwarf.

Then there are technical reasons. There are two aspects to technical reasons.

One is the technical limit, and we can only explore here for now.

Without the high-dimensional world channel, human activities in space are very limited. For the time being, we can only explore the 12 star systems in the Tianjiang Cluster, plus a few surrounding star systems, which add up to a diameter of only 20 light years.

In this range, you can't find anything better than the Tamron Galaxy Star.

There is also technological research - the scientific research technology of the Tianjiang Cluster's high-level personnel has reached the pinnacle of conventional materials. If technology wants to develop further, it must work hard on materials.

The secondary generation materials that the top leaders of the Tianjiang Cluster, or even the Yanhuang Federation thousands of years ago, were targeting were hadronic materials!

Hadron materials are related to whether the Yanhuang Federation's technology can be further developed. Unfortunately, until the collapse of the Yanhuang Federation, no key step was taken in the development of hadron materials.

The conditions for preparing hadronic materials are harsh, and currently they can only be found in space.

This is the origin and purpose of the solar exploration project.

Chu Fei was fortunate to join this team, and it can be said that he accidentally boarded the fast ship of the forefront of science and technology. The benefits to Chu Fei were beyond imagination. The most direct benefit was: a lot of knowledge, a brand new field of knowledge! Especially in terms of materials.

If you want to explore white dwarfs, materials are a huge problem. Ordinary steel will be compressed and collapsed like cotton on a white dwarf. The strong gravity is more terrifying than the temperature.

This super material technology has already benefited Chu Fei greatly.

And launching a rocket from the surface of a white dwarf requires groundbreaking technology.

Of course, Chu Fei's joining also brought great help to Xue Xingyu's research.

Concepts such as manifold algorithms and hyper-dimensional folding opened up Xue Xingyu's mind.

Since the three-dimensional world cannot produce hadron materials, we should use high-dimensional technology. And there is a high-dimensional civilization world at present - the secret world of Gaia.

Of course, Xue Xingyu was not responsible for the Gaia Secret Realm. Xue Xingyu only passed the relevant information to the back, and naturally there would be professionals to take care of it.

Xue Xingyu’s core is still the solar exploration project.

Even if we want to use high-dimensional technology to produce hadron materials in the future, we still need data. And the solar exploration project can collect data.

Chu Fei was thinking, quietly watching the stars slowly "falling".

Suddenly, a black spot flashed across the surface of the star.

Xue Xingyu's voice suddenly rang in Chu Fei's ears, "Chu Fei, come to the conference room. The No. 3 space shuttle that explored the white dwarf has returned safely."

"receive."

Chu Fei quickly came to the conference room and sat down next to Xue Xingyu. The sign in front read:

Chu Fei

[Deputy Chief Engineer of Sun Exploration Project]

Gold will always shine. In just over a year, Chu Fei's position was promoted from "Deputy Minister of Nanotechnology" to Deputy Chief Engineer. In terms of scientific research, his status was second only to Xue Xingyu.

In the entire space carrier formation, Chu Fei's status is roughly equal to that of the deputy captain Yi Xingying. There are only two people above him, the captain Mo Wenqiang and the chief engineer Xue Xingyu.

Theoretically, the person with the highest status is of course Xue Xingyu; but because Xue Xingyu's "cultivation level" is not as good as Captain Mo Wenqiang, the two are actually on the same level and consult with each other when there are problems.

Practitioners are always used to judging seniority based on their level of cultivation.

After Chu Fei arrived, people arrived one after another, and soon the seat was filled with more than 20 people, all of whom were research elites.

The projection appeared, showing a special space plane. The plane was in the shape of a large triangle, with 12 engines of different sizes on the back.

The surface of the space plane has many "undulating burrs". If you look closely, you can see that it is divided into three levels.

The aerospace plane is obviously used within the atmosphere, but if it is within the atmosphere, why should there be "burrs"?

Seeing such a special aircraft, everyone is used to it.

Xue Xingyu spoke up, "Everyone, the Sun Tank III spacecraft has returned safely. We succeeded!"

Then the picture changed, and the returning aerospace plane appeared.

At this time, most of the burrs on the surface of the spacecraft had melted away, with only the lowest layer remaining. The surface of the aircraft was no longer smooth, but had many spots, like cooled welding slag.

But the overall structure of the aircraft is intact and its surface is perfectly streamlined.

Everyone applauded, and then everyone looked at Chu Fei.

The current space plane is the latest technology in the solar exploration project, and most of its key technologies actually come from Chu Fei.

If you want to explore among the stars, the most important thing is to "keep warm", ensure low temperatures, and ensure the smooth operation of the machine.

The surface temperature of this white dwarf is over 10,000 degrees Celsius. Any conventional material will melt in minutes.

Although the previous solar exploration project successfully landed and retrieved some materials, the cost was so heavy that only one such activity was carried out.

That success was achieved by dropping a specially made spaceship from high altitude and launching a super rocket before the spaceship melted.

The dropped spacecraft had a mass of over 1200 tons; the launched rocket had a mass of 15 tons; in the end only a small rocket reached near space, and then ejected kilograms of material in the manner of a cannonball.

At this time, the material was far from reaching the first cosmic speed on the star, and it was an unmanned spacecraft that passed by and "picked up" this little bit of material.

In short, the result is: 15 tons of high-precision equipment were exchanged for kilograms of materials!

The expense and cost involved are beyond imagination.

It's not that everyone didn't want to log in again, but the technology was immature, so they could only pile up materials, and piling up materials would cost money. According to the previous method of burning, the entire space carrier formation was burned up, and at most they could get a ton of materials.

One ton, what can you do? If you want to do research, the previous amount is enough.

In short, the exploration situation is: there is nothing we can do.

Until Chu Fei came and brought a brand new "super-dimensional algorithm", combining nanotechnology and programming technology to create a "magic weapon of science and technology".

Those "burrs" on the aircraft are actually formation flags, which provide layers of defense and isolate the high temperature.

The entire star is a super source of life energy, and formation technology can utilize this energy.

At the same time, inside the aircraft, there is space capsule technology, which stores a large amount of water for use as a coolant.

This technology has been iterated more than a dozen times in the laboratory and tested twice in practice. This was the third test, and it was a huge success.

Everyone was sitting in the conference room waiting. A staff member had already recovered the spacecraft and then reported the situation: 12.7 tons of hadron material were "captured" and the spacecraft was in good condition.

"12.7 tons of hadronic materials!" Everyone jumped up excitedly. Not only was there enough research, but they could also try to build equipment with hadronic materials.

The previous 15 kilograms of materials were said to be enough for research, but in fact they were very tight-fisted.

it's good now.

The most important thing is that everyone seemed to see an endless supply of hadron materials!

Xue Xingyu couldn't help but stand up excitedly and patted Chu Fei's shoulder hard.

12.7吨强子材料其实也不多，体积只有约56000立方厘米。相当于厚10厘米、宽56厘米、长100厘米钢板的体积。

Really small.

Of course, the hadron materials actually caught are all irregular fragments, which look more like pebbles and are bumpy like honeycombs.

Chu Fei picked up a fist-sized "pebble", which weighed more than 200 kilograms and was silver-white. After weighing it, Chu Fei suddenly frowned, and then a basketball-sized silver-white metal appeared in his hand.

This was a twisted block of metal, like melted and cooled slag, with numerous sword marks on it; the deepest sword mark almost split the metal block in half.

The thing Chu Fei took out was actually what Jin Kaiwei had given him. (Chapter 838)

According to Jin Kaiwei, it was obtained during an expedition. It is hard but tough enough. It is also very dense. A basketball weighs about one ton. Chu Fei tested it and found that the density is about 70 grams per cubic centimeter, far exceeding the density of the metal with the highest density: osmium, which is 22.59 grams!

Now it seems that this thing is very similar to hadron material, but it is far inferior to the hadron materials we have now.

At present, the density of these hadronic materials is as high as 227 grams per cubic centimeter!

Chu Fei's actions attracted Xue Xingyu's attention. Chu Fei took out his flying sword and cut some of them, briefly explained the history, and then exchanged some hadron materials.

Chu Fei now also has his own high-tech research laboratory, which can scan to the 50 picometer level, which is 0.05 nanometers.

The diameter of an atom is generally around 0.1 nanometers.

With this precision, atoms can be clearly seen, but the nuclei cannot be clearly seen. This is obviously not enough to study hadronic materials, but it is more than enough to study nanotechnology.

In fact, this is already the top equipment in the current fleet. Xue Xingyu's laboratory has some equipment that is slightly better than this, but it is limited.

After many researchers divided up 12.7 tons of hadronic materials, everyone finally began to pay attention to the space plane itself.

The hooks used to scoop up hadron materials all melted, which was expected, but enough data was collected before they melted.

As for the aerospace plane itself, it brings back more data. By studying the status of the aerospace plane, everyone continues to discuss and deduce new technologies.

Among them, Chu Fei was undoubtedly the focus of everyone.

Xue Xingyu and Chu Fei took the lead in inspecting the aerospace plane. The two exchanged a few words from time to time, and then called on different personnel and different equipment to conduct analysis.

The space plane was more than 40 meters long. The two men took the lead in carefully inspecting it for almost a month, and finally the entire plane was disassembled and analyzed.

During the disassembly, we also continued to study. There was a large computer array nearby, with hundreds of supercomputers constantly calculating.

The architecture of this supercomputer is a hybrid architecture, the fifth-generation hybrid architecture computer led by Chu Fei.

The successful research on the fifth-generation hybrid architecture computer, with the participation of Xue Xingyu and the addition of quantum computer technology, can be regarded as the crystallization of everyone's wisdom.

A month later, when the aerospace fighter was disassembled, the fourth-generation aerospace fighter in the virtual space had completed millions of iterative calculations.

Of course, scientific research is not just a simple iteration, it also requires the support of scientific researchers and the adjustment of parameters from time to time.

But no matter what, the fourth-generation space plane has been successfully developed by 99%. The rest needs to be manufactured and tested in practice.

The success of the fourth-generation space shuttle is inseparable from the assistance of computers. Compared with the fourth-generation computers, the fifth-generation computers can simulate more than 99% of reality. Because the fifth-generation has added quantum technology, it has achieved rapid progress. Chu Fei said that it should be more appropriately called the sixth generation. The fifth generation is almost equivalent to a delay.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as I have the technology.

During the production process of the fourth-generation aerospace fighter, Chu Fei had returned to his research laboratory and handed the materials to his subordinates for research. Chu Fei then entered the virtual space and began to practice.

In the virtual space, the 14.0 to 16.0 skills are being iterated madly. Using the fifth-generation supercomputer and a large amount of scientific research data, the skills have been iterating madly for a year, with tens of billions of iterations.

Now Chu Fei inputs the data he just studied on the aerospace plane into the computer and continues to iterate.

The current practice methods no longer have any traces of the orthodox big data practice. This is no longer a question of being completely different, but rather not the same thing at all.

The main reason for the change is that Chu Fei proposed the concept of "exclusive weapons".

After having a dedicated weapon, the martial arts method must be changed synchronously; Chu Fei tried to integrate the algorithm that controls nano changes directly into the core of the cosmic brain.

This approach may seem risky, but Chu Fei has already found the way and has basically succeeded.

After an unknown amount of time, someone rang the bell and woke Chu Fei up.

Chu Fei saved the data, and then took a look at the "Universe Brain" that was iterating itself in the virtual space, and felt like a "Nascent Soul". In other words, Chu Fei's iterative skills now had a three-point charm of cultivation.

The entire "cosmic brain" becomes the brain, while the sub-brain builds the body. The cosmic brain and the sub-brain together form a "primordial infant". Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the "primordial spirit".

From now on, the liver will no longer be the responsibility of the accessory brain. Every cell in the body will participate in the work of the accessory brain.

After coming out of the virtual space, the researchers around him told Chu Fei that the basic structural analysis of the hadron materials and the materials Chu Fei took out had been completed.

This was the result of a joint study by multiple laboratories. Chu Fei quickly read through the information, and then participated in the research for a while. After making some contributions, he went back into the virtual space to iterate. For Chu Fei, cultivation was the foundation.

Some research data on hadron materials brought great inspiration to Chu Fei.

Time sometimes passes quickly. When Chu Fei exited the virtual space again, it was already two months later.

The brand new "Metaverse Kung Fu" has been iterated and completed!

Waking up from the virtual space, Chu Fei muttered: "It is true that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. With the foundation of Xinghai Development Group, it took only one and a half years to initially complete the 14.0 to 16.0 skills.

If we stay on the ground, on the Morning Star, I'm afraid we won't see any results in ten years. Ten years is too long, and there are too many variables.

So, job hopping is the secret to promotion and salary increase."

Chu Fei was in a good mood. Although his current martial arts technique could only be considered an elementary version, not even "version 1.0", it was finally available.

Big data practice is in line with scientific logic - we are not afraid of terrible technology, but we are afraid of not having it. No matter how bad the technology is, as long as there is a beginning, we can continue to iterate to perfection.

In a good mood, Chu Fei finally remembered his position as deputy chief engineer and formally participated in the relevant research.

Chu Fei also gained a lot from his research, including knowledge and wisdom.

Currently, Chu Fei is involved in the following research: the sixth generation of hybrid architecture computers, the new computer technology will officially enter the field of quantum computers, rather than borrowing some quantum technology;

There is also Chu Fei’s main business, the research on nano-liquid gold technology, and the research on formations and laws (manifold technology) derived from it, etc. The research on nanotechnology also involves the concept of “folding”;

Finally, there is pharmaceutical research and research on aerospace shuttles in the solar exploration project.

Now there is one more thing, the research on hadronic materials.

The huge space fleet slowly rotates around the star, and Chu Fei has already devoted himself to the new work. (End of this chapter)
