The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2265 Finding the Source
What is the concept of this energy density?

Let’s put it this way, with such energy density, only two button battery-sized energy blocks are needed to meet the annual electricity demand of tens of millions of kilowatt-hours for an office building.

This is even more outrageous than the Spacium Ore!

You know, the Spacium ore discovered on Mars had already surprised many scientists. They couldn't believe that there was a natural ore with such high-density energy in the world.

So humans have spent so much time and manpower and resources, and so many people have devoted their entire lives to developing high-energy-density batteries, only to find out that there is no need to go through so much effort, and naturally formed minerals are many times better than this. This means that all the hard work and sweat have been in vain.

Who can stand this?

but--

As for Spacium ore, we can still comfort ourselves by saying that this is on Mars, not Earth. Without previous research, humans would not be able to go to Mars and dig out Spacium ore. This can be considered a prerequisite.

But this "glowing crystal" is right here on Earth. The only prerequisite is to discover it and dig it out.

This reminds Chiba Makoto of an online joke, which says that one day on Earth, a wormhole suddenly appeared, causing humans to feel threatened. They thought that technologically advanced aliens were invading the Earth, but what came out of the wormhole were actually a group of primitive people wearing animal skins and holding spears.
Later, humans learned that wormholes, which were originally considered high-tech, could be created in the primitive world with only a special kind of ore, but Earth did not have this material.
The general meaning is that the reason why humans cannot achieve time and space travel is not because the technology is too backward, but because the galaxy they are in does not have the elements that can create wormholes.

how to say?

In the past, Chiba Makoto scoffed at such statements, thinking them to be anti-intellectual and anti-scientific nonsense.

But after gaining more knowledge, I slowly changed my mind.

Because the universe is so huge, it is not surprising that anything appears in it.

Like Spacium ore, this natural mineral buried underground on Mars has an energy density several times higher than TPC's best batteries.

Under normal circumstances, it would take humans at least dozens or even hundreds of years to develop batteries with such high energy density. No wonder the relevant experts and scholars fell silent after learning about and seeing the Spacium ore. Some even changed their careers simply because their worldview collapsed.

In that person's words, even if I spend the rest of my life, I will never be able to compare with the wonders of nature. I might as well do something else that is more meaningful than this.

It's like you have worked tirelessly for several days and finally discovered that there is a certain relationship between the three sides of a triangle. Just as you are ready to make persistent efforts to solve this difficult problem in one go, you pick up an eighth-grade math book on the road and turn to the page about the Pythagorean theorem. Only then do you realize that your major discovery has already been discovered by this guy named Pythagorean.

How big of a blow this incident was to a fourth-grade student? If you multiply it a hundred or eighty times, that's almost how the experts and scholars in the field of energy batteries feel.

The energy density of the "glowing crystal" is even more exaggerated than that of the Specium ore. Let's put it this way, if the piece in Qianye Cheng's hand is used to power a light bulb, then this light bulb can be lit from the dinosaur era to the present.

"this thing"

Qianye Cheng stopped the energy transmission test, and marveled at the crystal in his hand, saying, "It's really amazing."

This was the first half of the sentence. The second half that was not spoken was known to everyone present: 'No wonder your police department treats this as a treasure', because it is indeed an extremely good treasure. If the production can be increased, all of humanity will be able to take a huge step forward.

To put it bluntly, the core of technological development is progress in energy.

Take electric cars for example. Why have they not been able to replace fuel vehicles? The most fundamental problem is the battery. Not only does it take a long time to charge, it is also deeply affected by temperature changes. More importantly, the battery has a short service life.

Once these problems are solved, electric vehicles that can be fully charged in a few seconds, are not affected by temperature differences, and have a service life of at least ten years can instantly crush fuel vehicles.

The rapid development of battery technology can have a profound impact on the global power industry. The biggest problem with electricity is that it cannot be stored. Well, to be more precise, the storage cost is too high. In order to store excess electricity, humans can be said to have used their brains and come up with various storage methods:

One of the commonly used energy storage methods is pumped storage, that is, when electricity demand is low at night, excess electricity on the grid is used to start water pumps to pump water from downstream to upstream reservoirs for power generation during peak electricity consumption during the day.

The second is compressed air energy storage, which uses electricity to compress air into a sealed space during the off-peak period of the power grid, and then releases the air to drive the steam turbine to generate electricity during the peak period of the power grid;
There is also the use of electricity to pull the heavy train up the mountain during the grid off-peak period, and to drive the train downhill during the grid peak period, while driving the generator:
But no matter which method is used, losses are inevitable, and it is very inconvenient and costly.

As for why not use batteries that don’t take up much space and don’t require additional power generation?
Compared with the above energy storage methods, the cost of batteries is extremely high. The mainstream lead-acid batteries cost several cents per watt, and lithium batteries cost as much as one yuan. That is to say, the manufacturing cost of a battery that can store one kilowatt-hour of electricity is as high as hundreds or thousands of yuan. Moreover, batteries are limited in the number of charge and discharge times, and as the number of times increases, their storage capacity is also decreasing day by day.

Let's put it this way, the difference between the peak and trough of the power grid can be as much as half every day, and the global daily power generation is 800 to 900 billion kWh. If we calculate it as half, it is still 400 to 500 billion kWh. To store this electricity, tens of billions of funds will be invested, and - tens of billions a day.

What is this concept?

If you put 100 million in the bank and earn interest, you would earn more than 10,000 a day. If you put hundreds of billions, the minimum interest you would earn would be several hundred or tens of millions.

Even if Evergrande at its peak came, it wouldn’t last more than a year.

But since the discovery of Spacium ore, the situation has changed. This is ore, and the only cost is mining, refining and transportation. It cannot be said to be as cheap as cabbage, but it is not far from sky-high prices. A piece the size of a truck can store enough electricity to support the electricity needs of a factory.

It is precisely because of this that the Spacium cannon is so highly anticipated, because the power of a laser cannon depends on how much energy it has stored. The Spacium cannon, which is mainly made of Spacium ore, has several times the energy of the New Texas cannon, so its power is naturally incomparable.

I thought the Spacium Ore was strong enough, but I never expected there would be a master out there.

Chiba Makoto feels that with this 'glowing crystal', he can create a firearm that is no less powerful than XIO's black-tech Ultraman pistol, and can unleash the power of the Specium Ray in one shot.

Simply invincible!
No wonder the police department keeps this thing so secret. Are they not satisfied with the power of the New Max cannon to shatter asteroids, and want to upgrade it to have the power to shatter planets with one shot?

Qianye Cheng was feeling sad in his heart, but he didn't show it at all. He said calmly, "I'll take this one first. As for the others, you'd better make sure they are safe before using them."

"sure!"

Staff Officer Quan Teng echoed repeatedly. In fact, Chiba Makoto didn't need to tell them. As early as after Dr. Rusaragi's accident, they had suspended the relevant research and turned to safety testing. However, after testing again and again, they didn't find any problems, and they couldn't find out what happened to Dr. Rusaragi. They had no choice but to ask Chiba Makoto for help.

After putting the 'glowing crystal' back into the box, Chiba Makoto looked back at Dr. Kisaragi who was lying quietly on the bed, and then strode away.

Dr. Kisaragi is important, but she is just a pawn. The key is the Monera people behind her. Only by finding them can we truly stop the conspiracy of the Monera people and solve the hidden dangers of the Prometheus. —·—·—·—·—·—·—·—

"Is this a seed? Could it be that the brain has mutated?"

Horii, who was wearing protective clothing, had his eyes wide open, and was quite surprised that such a large "foreign object" could be stuffed into a human head. You know, the human immune system is very sensitive, and sometimes when it goes crazy, it will not even let go of its own people, let alone "foreign objects".

If it were anyone else, Horii would definitely have all kinds of doubts, but the person who said this was Chiba Makoto, and he took it out with his own hands.

Although it is hard to imagine that scene,
Now that you've said that, that should be the case.

After all, after years of knowing each other, Chiba Makoto would not joke about these things.

It’s just that I didn’t expect that the famous Dr. Kisaragi was actually being controlled by aliens using such a flower bud-like thing. It’s really horrifying.

Qianye Cheng was wearing ordinary clothes, sitting on a chair, looking through the "Crystal of Light" he got from the police station, and said, "First, help me check if there is any signal transmission or data exchange. You can do whatever you want to study afterwards, but be sure to take precautions. God knows what the aliens have installed in it."

You have to eat the food one bite at a time and do the things one by one.

Although there are a lot of things to do, we can't be impatient. If we are impatient, we will get confused, and if we are confused, we will make mistakes.

Whether it is the Sphia virus or the space bacteria Dali, they are not Chiba Cheng's professional field, but the space people are different. He is good at solving this problem. Of course, he chose to solve this first without hesitation.

Internal and external troubles!

Solving internal problems can not only prevent being stabbed in the back, but also gain great help from Prometheus. Why not do it?

"understand!"

Horii nodded, understanding Chiba Makoto's thoughts.

Since it is a remote controller, it needs to send and receive signals.

As long as we track the signal, we can find the source and then follow the clues to find the enemy.

Of course, this is the most ideal situation. In reality, there are many problems. For example, it has withered to this extent, which means it has been broken for a long time. There is a big question mark as to whether this communication line can be preserved.

But it is a clue after all, and it won’t take much to investigate.

Horii picked it up immediately, went to the test bench inside, and began to carefully cut and disassemble it. Even if this thing no longer received and sent signals, it was not completely worthless. After all, it was a rare species, and it would be nice to take a look at its internal structure. At least a dozen or twenty papers could be produced.

then
A piece of good news, a piece of bad news!

Although it is the same news, it is both good news and bad news.

The good news is that an instrument inside, not much thicker than a hair, is continuously sending weak signals, which are currently being tracked and located, and there is a great hope of finding the source of the signal; the bad news is that the signal source is still working, which means that the Monera people did not shut it down. Either there are other "controllers" running, or they did not have time to shut it down.

Either way, it's bad news.

The former means that someone is still being controlled, and the latter means that the Monera people are in so much trouble that they can't even take care of the 'transmitter'.

Although Horii is a scientist, he had been a member of the Victory team for several years and had a keen sense of smell. Naturally, he could think of this level, so when he came out, his face was not very good.

"It's been such an eventful time!"

Horii himself couldn't help but sigh. Ever since Golzaan appeared, the Earth has become uneasy. Various monsters and aliens have jumped out one after another. The darkness was finally resolved, and it has only been peaceful for a few years, but problems are starting to occur frequently again.

Right now, there are even more problems. The Sphia barrier has not been resolved yet, and the Sphia virus and the cosmic bacteria Dali have popped up. His own family is still lying in the hospital bed, and here come the aliens who control the human elites to achieve their invasion goals.

It's really trouble after trouble.

But it has to be solved, let alone give up.

However, the only consolation is that tracking signals is much simpler than Sphia, cosmic bacteria and the like, and it is also within the field of human expertise, rather than the question mark-like look of a cat with a head that has never seen the world.

Although satellites outside the Earth cannot be used due to the Sphia Barrier, TPC has other ways and many methods available.

Ground signal transmission towers, high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and all-weather hovering airships quickly replaced artificial satellites, preventing the world from falling into chaos for too long.

Therefore, with one order given, this communication system based on the "God's Eye" began global tracking and found the source of the signal without much effort.

"Let's go now!"

The Super Victory Team was the first to set out, driving the Victory Eagle out of the headquarters base and heading towards the source of the signal at lightning speed.

On the way, Chiba Makoto received information forwarded from the Intelligence Bureau, which contained collated information about Dr. Kisaragi, focusing on analyzing and comparing her writing patterns to see if he could discover when she was parasitized and controlled.

Just like a ballpoint pen, human behavior leaves traces.

Different people, even twins, are more or less different.

That's why I wanted to see if I could analyze Dr. Kisaragi's past to see when she was controlled. By determining the time point, I could know when the Monera people began to focus on the Earth, and then I could know whether Dr. Kisaragi's inventions and research were the result of her own intelligence or the credit of the Monera people.
