(These few days, there were very few updates, but the technical content was very high. Xiao Zixian's big military project was coming, so he needed a lot of technical information to support it. It took a lot of time to look up the information, especially the plot of the novel was comparable to hard science fiction.) Therefore, I hope that my brothers can understand why the chess pieces have been writing very slowly these past few days. Also, the scientific knowledge in Chess's novels has been processed through art. Please don't match it with the scientific knowledge in reality!）
Xiao Zixian accidentally broke into Dr. Caspian's memory last night and learned that the planet where Dr. Caspian lived was called the Clover Planet. In the dream, Xiao Zixian was completely fascinated by the beauty and magic of the Clover Planet. In the past, Xiao Zixian didn't know that there were other habitable planets in the universe. Now that he suddenly knew, Xiao Zixian's curiosity was aroused. Therefore, Xiao Zixian tried every means to find out more information about Clover Planet in Dr. Caspian's memory.
Especially after knowing that Dr. Caspian's memory was actually harmless to his brain, Xiao Zixian tried to enter Dr. Caspian's memory when he was awake, but Xiao Zixian soon found that it was futile. The human brain was very strange. Sometimes, when one was not thinking about something, it would suddenly have a lot of thoughts. However, when one wanted to recall something, the brain would not be able to remember it.
Now, Xiao Zixian had encountered such a situation. No matter how he thought about it, his mind was always blank and he couldn't remember anything. In the past, Dr. Caspian's memories came out of his mind, so Xiao Zixian didn't find it difficult to think about Dr. Caspian's memories. Now that Xiao Zixian wanted to take the initiative to recall Dr. Caspian's memories, he didn't know where to start.
Xiao Zixian was addicted to the beauty of the Clover Planet. In the next two days, he searched for a lot of astronomical information. Xiao Zixian hoped to find some information related to the Clover Planet, but he couldn't find even a single piece of information.
In the end, Xiao Zixian had no choice but to let Messenger X hack into NASA. Then, he used Messenger X's powerful computing power to control the Hubble Space telescope to observe the Perseus arm for two hours.
However, the problem was still not solved because the Hubble telescope was too old and the technology was very outdated. With the Hubble telescope's technology, it was very difficult to even see the surface of Mars and Jupiter. It was impossible to find one of the hundreds of billions of planets in the Perseus Arm 6,000 light-years away. After two hours, Xiao Zixian only managed to take some blurry pictures of the stars. He couldn't take pictures of the planets that couldn't emit light.
When Xiao Zixian was thinking about how to take a picture of a planet 6,000 light-years away, Dr. Caspian's memory immediately gave Xiao Zixian an extraordinary but very reasonable answer. It was to use the " hyperspace communication technology " to create a small wormhole tunnel and then take pictures through the wormhole tunnel.
As the name suggested, A wormhole tunnel was a compressed space channel. Its effect was similar to the random door in Doraemon. It could shrink two spaces that were far apart to the distance between the inside and outside of a door. For example, the distance between Beijing and New York was 15,000 kilometers. It would take more than 20 hours by plane, but if a wormhole tunnel was used, a compressed channel could be established between the two places.
Of course, this was just to describe the speed of the wormhole tunnel. It should be known that there was an extremely strong gravitational force in the wormhole tunnel. Any matter that entered it would be instantly compressed into the original particles of all things, so it was impossible for human spaceships to use wormholes to travel through space. However, there was an exception, and that was the invisible electromagnetic wave signal was not restricted by this. The invisible electromagnetic wave signal could freely pass through it.
After human settlements spread from Earth to many planets tens of millions of light-years away, human communication became a big problem. For example, using radio communication between Earth and Clover Planet. The distance between the two was 6,000 light years, so according to the speed of electromagnetic waves, it would take 6,000 years to make a one-way call between the two. 6,000 years! At that time, the bones of the person who sent the signal had already turned into fossils.
Therefore, in order to prevent humans from different planets from losing contact with each other, hyperspace communication technology became an inevitable product after humans rushed out of Earth.
The principle of the hyperspace communication technology was to build a lot of satellites that could maintain wormhole tunnels in the sky above every planet where humans lived. After the communication radar on the planet sent the ground signal to the satellite, the satellite would send the communication signal to the other satellite thousands of light-years away through the wormhole tunnel. This would solve the communication problem between planets very simply and quickly.
In layman's terms, hyperspace communication technology was similar to the submarine optical cables between continents on Earth. The telephone lines and the Internet between continents on Earth were connected by several tens of thousands of kilometers of intercontinental submarine optical cables. The wormhole tunnel's function was exactly the same as the submarine optical cable. It was a channel for transmitting signals.
Xiao Zixian wanted to use the hyperspace communication technology to build a wormhole tunnel peeping hole between the Earth and the Heroic Immortal Arm. Then, Xiao Zixian could use this peeping hole to take close-up photos of the planet on the Heroic Immortal Arm on Earth and search for traces of the Clover Planet.
Hyperspace communication technology was actually a very popular technology in Dr. Caspian's era. The manufacturing method of this technology could even be found on the Internet, so Xiao Zixian easily learned the manufacturing principle of hyperspace communication from Dr. Caspian's memory. However, the problem was that Xiao Zixian was in the 21st world. To create a wormhole tunnel that could be maintained for a long time was too shocking to the scientific community of the 21st century. If those astronomy experts knew about this wormhole tunnel spying technology, they would probably run over from all over the world to lick Xiao Zixian's toes and thank him for his contribution to the cause of astronomy.
Xiao Zixian knew that now was not the time to announce the hyperspace communication technology. If this technology was announced, Xiao Zixian would be surrounded by a lot of trouble. Xiao Zixian didn't want anyone else to know about the Clover Planet. This was the fetter between him and Dr. Caspian. No one on Earth could interfere in this matter.
Therefore, in order to avoid the exposure of the hyperspace communication technology, Xiao Zixian could only secretly build a hyperspace communication satellite. However, the cost of this satellite made Xiao Zixian worry so much that his hair turned white.
First of all, the satellite had to have a powerful infrared camera and a high-definition camera so that Xiao Zixian could take pictures of the planet 6,000 light-years away. There was also the need to install a space tunnel machine that could create wormholes on the satellite. Finally, it had to be equipped with an energy device to operate the space tunnel machine. Opening a wormhole tunnel required at least 600,000 megavolts of electricity, which was far from enough to use solar panels. Therefore, a small nuclear fusion reactor had to be installed to provide the energy needed for the satellite to operate.
Finally, after calculating the price of all the materials, it was estimated that it would cost at least 8 billion US dollars to buy all the materials. The rare tritium for nuclear fusion would cost 2 billion US dollars. Because the global reserves of tritium did not exceed 30 pounds, Xiao Zixian would have to spend a lot of money to buy a few pounds.
Finally, if he wanted to launch the satellite into space, he would have to build a small cargo spacecraft to transport it. As for the technology to build a cargo spacecraft, Caspian could say that he had everything in his memory. In the future world, the transportation of goods and passengers between planets was one of the most profitable businesses, so the research of interstellar spaceships was a very popular subject. The research center that Dr. Caspian was in was a place that specialized in the development of the most advanced interstellar spaceships. Dr. Caspian's friend was the short and fat Hans with the big nose. He was a first-class interstellar spaceship engineer. Before Caspian developed the Brain Enhancer, he was also an outstanding spaceship designer.
Therefore, it was easier for Xiao Zixian to design a small cargo spaceship than to design a toy. Considering that the cargo spaceship did not need to carry people, as long as it could fly, it was not a big problem to use cheaper materials to build it. Therefore, Xiao Zixian was not prepared to spend too much money on a small cargo spaceship.
Of course, manufacturing a spaceship had to be done secretly. It would be terrible if they were discovered. Therefore, Xiao Zixian had to disassemble the parts of the spaceship and then let Long Zhijie place an order to the domestic factory. As long as they were not assembled, outsiders would not think that they were parts of a spaceship. In the end, after Xiao Zixian received the manufactured parts, he only needed to put the parts together. The process was actually easier than assembling a racing car.
However, when he thought of the price of 8 billion USD, Xiao Zixian could only sigh and lie on the sofa in the comprehensive laboratory, tossing and turning. Meanwhile, Li Zeyu, Ding Shun, and Liu Zhibo were moving the parts of the nuclear fission reactor and the parts and materials for the modification of the sports car that they had ordered earlier. These materials had been delivered this morning. Because these experimental materials were relatively small, the three of them acted as coolies to move these experimental materials into the laboratory.
Liu Zhibo saw Xiao Zixian lying on the sofa and staring at the ceiling in a daze. He angrily walked over and kicked the sofa, shouting,"Kid, you really think of the three of us as coolies. The three of us are working, and you're lying here alone to rest?”
Xiao Zixian shook his butt on the sofa and muttered,"I'm just thinking about a problem! The experimental materials aren't heavy, so it won't take much effort for you to move them. By the way, let me ask you something. Do you know what kind of business is the fastest to earn money in the world?”
Liu Zhibo sat down on the sofa, picked up the teacup from the coffee table, and took a sip of water. Then, he said disapprovingly,"Do you even need to ask? The fastest way to make money in the world is to sell oil and firearms. Look at those Arabs. They only need to pump oil out of the ground like pumping water, then put it into oil drums and sell it for more than 100 US dollars. After all, they have to purify the water with machines before they can buy it! So you can imagine how fast the money came from selling oil. As for the sale of firearms, money came even faster. High-end weapons such as fighter jets and missiles could easily be traded for hundreds of millions of dollars. These weapons were actually just an electronic chip wrapped in iron. The cost was extremely low, but the key was that the chip was expensive.”
Xiao Zixian's eyes lit up and he said in realization,""Are you saying that the higher the level of technology of the weapon, the more expensive it can be sold? 'Damn, isn't it too easy to earn money? I can casually fiddle with it in the laboratory and create advanced weapons that have never been seen in the world before.'”Xiao Zixian pointed at the nuclear fission reactor parts not far away and said excitedly,""Then how much do you think I can sell a few electromagnetic acceleration machine guns on the black market with the materials I have?”
Liu Zhibo immediately stood up and patted Xiao Zixian's head. He smiled and said,""Don't even think about selling the electromagnetic acceleration machine gun. If Long Zhijie knows that you've sold such a sophisticated weapon to other countries, he'll probably rush over and shoot you. Not to mention that the electromagnetic acceleration machine gun also had a small nuclear fission reactor, which was even more important. The small nuclear reactor technology could even directly change the country's global energy strategic deployment. If the United States obtained a sample of the small nuclear reactor before China had fully achieved the technology of mass production of the small nuclear reactor, the consequences would not be as simple as leaking national secrets.”
