Homo sapiens

Wu Dongling, the leader of the maintenance team, looked at the status of each system that had just been fed back, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

Dr. Yuri is also very concerned about the condition of the equipment: "Wu, how is the situation?"

Wu Dongling smiled bitterly and replied: "Heat accumulation is only a minor problem. It can be solved in a few hours using a gold-based thermoelectric system. However, the damage to the vacuum pipeline during the particle collision process is very serious, and the repair time will take at least a week. .”

Hearing this maintenance time, Dr. Yuri breathed a sigh of relief: "A week? It doesn't matter, just a week. Anyway, we now need to study the data generated by this collision experiment."

"I will try my best to repair it and try to get it back to normal as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"Doctor, you're too polite. This is our duty."

In fact, before this collision experiment, the evaluation team predicted possible problems.

After all, there are tens of billions of collisions per second, and the energy carried by protons is very high, so heat accumulation is definitely unavoidable.

It is also expected that the vacuum pipe will be knocked out of atomic-level holes by various particles.

Especially those micro black holes, although they evaporated instantly, some of the micro black holes close to the tube wall still caused some atoms to be torn out in an instant.

At this moment, a staff member responsible for maintenance hurriedly appeared in front of Wu Dongling: "Team leader, I made something."

"What discovery?"

"Take a look at this."

Wu Dongling looked at the test report, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "A large number of heavy elements appeared."

This large amount is actually not large. In the magnetic field detection data, after the collision experiment was completed, 830,000 gold atoms and 1.28 million rhodium elements appeared in the vacuum pipeline.

You must know that this collision experiment lasted for 30 minutes, with an average of tens of billions of collisions per second to create so many heavy elements.

This number is actually very large for this experiment.

Dr. Yuri, not far away, also received this test report.

Another researcher seemed to know this situation: "Is this the technical principle of the omnic civilization's elemental manufacturing technology?"

"Well, it's element manufacturing technology, but ours is at the laboratory level and has not yet reached the industrial mass production level." Dr. Yuri also knows this technology.

He didn't know much about the technical situation of omnic civilization before, but he took advantage of the more than three months during the construction of the Mars ring to catch up on the relevant technical and physical knowledge about omnic civilization.

Among them is elemental manufacturing technology.

This technology uses proton collision equipment, uses specific magnetic and electric fields, and then produces a large number of micro black holes, and injects other light elements, using the fleeting micro black holes and light elements to create heavy elements.

The omnic civilization has realized the artificial synthesis of heavy elements after iron and can produce them on a large scale.

The reason why this technology was developed is very simple, because the distribution of elements in the universe is extremely uneven, and the total amount of each element in the universe decreases from light to heavy.

The content of hydrogen in the universe exceeds half of the total amount of bright matter in the universe, and helium accounts for about a quarter.

The top 10 light elements account for almost 99% of the bright matter in the universe.

As a result, many civilizations will face a problem during their development, that is, the lack of heavy elements.

If there are elements before iron, they can also be produced through controlled nuclear fusion, because controlled nuclear fusion can fuse the elements to the iron element stage.

But elements after iron are only produced after supernova explosions or the death of massive stars.

Heavy elements such as gold are also rare metals in the universe, which is determined by the physical rules of the universe.

The gold mine that Homo Sapiens Company discovered underground in Antarctica was an almost inexhaustible resource according to the standards of a zero-level civilization.

But after entering the first-level civilization, the gold mine can only be mined for about 200 years at most. This is the company's economical use and recovery of part of the gold in the waste.

At present, Homo sapiens company needs to use 5,000 to 7,000 tons of gold every month.

Fortunately, Venus and Mercury are also rich in gold elements, and several asteroids rich in heavy elements have been discovered in the asteroid belt.

Different stages of civilization have different demands for resources.

Before humans left the earth, several thousand tons of gold were enough for related industries. However, in the age of the universe, this gold is really not enough.

The omnic civilization also encountered the problem of lack of heavy element resources at the beginning, and finally developed heavy element synthesis technology.

Although this technology consumes a lot of energy, it can obtain some rare elements. The pros and cons depend on the importance of demand.

If a certain technology is very important but the element is very rare, then the element creation technology is naturally valuable.

For example, the gold-based thermoelectric materials currently widely used by Homo sapiens companies are as important as nuclear fusion power generation technology.

After all, nuclear fusion power generation systems can only produce thermal energy, but gold-based thermoelectric materials can convert 99.9% of thermal energy into electrical energy. This technology is of very high importance.

After all, the higher the thermal efficiency of power generation, the smaller the energy waste.

At this stage, the heavy metals in the solar system are still barely sufficient, but in the future the Homo sapiens company will definitely set foot in other planetary systems and even the wider galaxy.

By then, in some planetary systems, the inherent problem of scarcity of heavy elements will be unavoidable.

This is where heavy element manufacturing technology comes into play.

Dr. Yuri knew that the company definitely needed this technology as a technical reserve, and he quickly ordered the relevant researchers to verify the technology.

And he himself is studying the data generated by the experiment.

This collision experiment produced a lot of data, and the data was very complex. If they had not mobilized a large part of the supercomputing power of the Mars Colonization Branch, they would not have been able to complete the sorting work in a short time.

Of course, sorting out is just the preliminary work.

The next step is the key point. They have to peel off the cocoons from these data and find out the valuable data.

Among them, data on quarks, neutrinos, micro black holes, and prime particles are the top priority.

Dr. Yuri and others studied for three days and found a lot of valuable data. They also verified some of the physical knowledge of omnic civilization.

However, during the verification process, they discovered that there were some problems with some of the physical rules of the omnic civilization.

Although these problems do not affect the current technical applications, they involve deep-seated physical rules.

If there are errors in these deep-seated physical rules, it will most likely affect the speed at which Homo sapiens companies advance to the second level of civilization in the future.
