Chapter 686 Farewell
As new double neutron material manufacturing machines were built one after another.
The two super-large dual-neutron material manufacturing machines built previously have also been updated with new technologies.
Dr. Yuri, who came over to provide technical support via a synchronous robot , was communicating with several resident technicians of the Superstar Colony branch.
Dr. Yuri was floating on the super-large circular pipe that blocked out the sky and the sun, looking like a speck of dust, extremely small.
He turned around and smiled at one of the technicians, "Haorong, the step-by-step strong magnetic acceleration ring and the absolute zero synthesis chamber are the core of this technological upgrade!"
"Well, we have already understood the key points of the technology. We estimate that the transformation can be completed in less than two months." Huang Haorong looked confident.
Step-by-step acceleration is not without its disadvantages. Its disadvantage is that particle acceleration must be completed in one go, and it cannot perform continuous orbital motion.
Therefore, in order to reduce the size and weight of the equipment, a special solution was adopted, that is, double helix pipe.
Although the new generation of double-neutron material manufacturing machine has a diameter of only tens of kilometers, its spiral pipeline is actually about 3,000 kilometers long.
However, even if the length reaches 3,000 kilometers, it is actually a huge improvement compared to the equatorial ring pipeline on Mars.
The new generation of double-neutron material manufacturing machine, whose acceleration pipeline is only 3,000 kilometers long, can only reach a particle speed limit of about 45% of the Martian equatorial ring even if it adopts a special step-by-step acceleration.
Logically speaking, this speed is not enough to cause neutrons to synthesize dineutrons.
Obviously the key point lies in another new technology.
Absolute zero synthesis chamber, this technology is very unique, and it is a feature that Dr. Yuri and others discovered a few years ago.
For protons to synthesize binary neutrons, an extremely high speed is required. This speed is approximately 99.999963% to 99.999979% of the speed of light, which is the most suitable.
There are two other factors that affect the efficiency of double neutron material synthesis, namely the magnetic field strength and the temperature of the material itself.
The production of double neutron materials could be slowly increased before because the researchers of Sapiens gradually figured out the optimal magnetic field strength for synthesizing double neutron materials.
But the temperature has not been noticed.
Until a few years ago, a researcher was conducting an experiment and due to an equipment failure, the temperature of a section of the magnetic field accelerator exceeded the rated value by 26 degrees Celsius.
In that experiment, the synthesis output efficiency of double neutron materials actually dropped by about 5.9%.
You know, in normal experimental processes, such a significant drop in production capacity rarely occurs.
Therefore, the researcher carefully studied the experimental data and found that temperature affected the efficiency of double neutron synthesis.
This discovery immediately attracted great attention.
Then, with the support of the company, synthesis chambers with increasingly lower temperatures were sent to the experimental equipment.
After several years of research, another factor affecting double neutron synthesis - temperature - was finally figured out by Dr. Yuri and other researchers.
As long as the temperature of the protons, which serve as the raw material for synthesis, is closer to absolute zero, the efficiency of double neutron synthesis will be greater.
However, this characteristic itself is also very contradictory.
Because the temperature of protons accelerated to nearly the speed of light is extremely high, even if they are frozen to the limit at the beginning, their temperature will still soar once they are accelerated.
After a series of experiments, they finally adopted extreme freezing during the collision synthesis stage.
Moreover, by accident, Dr. Yuri and others discovered that extremely rapid freezing in the synthesis chamber can not only instantly improve the synthesis efficiency, but also reduce the limiting speed of protons, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the system.
At the same time, after the frozen protons complete the transformation in the synthesis chamber, they can also pass through a spiral freezing pipeline that is hundreds of kilometers long, ensuring that the speed of those waste high-speed protons that have not been synthesized can be suppressed to a reasonable range and blocked.
Otherwise, the synthesis room will definitely explode every time it synthesizes something.
Through these two new technologies, the synthesis efficiency of double neutron materials has been increased by dozens of times.
The annual output has increased from several hundred kilograms to several tons.
Of course, due to technological innovation, the equipment has become smaller, energy consumption has decreased, and the synthesis room no longer becomes a consumable. In fact, it is estimated that the production capacity of double neutron materials of Zhiren Company can be increased hundreds of times in a short period of time.
After all, the Superstar Colony Branch can now produce more than ten tons of double neutron materials annually.
As large amounts of di-neutron materials were produced continuously, the production capacity of artificial earths, spacecraft, space battleships and the like of the Giant Star Colony Branch also soared.
Time passed unknowingly and we arrived at the 105th year in the Galaxy (the previous time was wrong. The 17 years when we arrived at the six-clawed giant star was not correct. It should be 47 years).
After more than 30 years of development, the Giant Star Nebula has already changed beyond all recognition.
The giant star nebula is now left with only a dozen lonely giant star core remnants.
In a spaceport near the outskirts of the nebula.
An artificial Earth is anchored in it.
Zheng Bai looked at the biological tablet in his hand and shook his head with a complicated look: "It's time to say goodbye again."
The tablet displays information about this artificial earth.
[Artificial Earth-class Generation Mothership: No. DQ0034, number of employees: 12 million...]
[Artificial Moon-class frigate: No. YQ0034, number of employees: 30,000...]
[34th Expeditionary Corps: No. YZ0034, codename Red Heart Corps, 260,000 troops, 385 warships of various types...]
A young voice interrupted Zheng Bai's reverie.
"Uncle Zheng!"
"Are you coming over to say goodbye? There's no need. We can contact each other through the synchronous communication system anyway."
The visitor was a sharp-eyed young man wearing a special biological armor. He saluted Zheng Bai heavily and said, "Thank you very much for the company's training of us. We have no way to repay you!"
"Children! Take care!" Even though he had thousands of words in his heart, in the end they were reduced to these two sentences. Zheng Bai, with tears in his tiger eyes, was still somewhat sad.
"Take care of yourself, too! Also, give my highest regards to the chairman."
As soon as the voice fell, the young man turned and left Zheng Bai's office.
Looking at the empty office, he couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart.
The employees on artificial earth number 34 are not synchronized robots, but artificial humans re-edited through genetic technology.
There is no reproductive isolation between their genes and those of the new humans, and their genetic template is a combination of some of the new humans' genes.
Artificial humans are a taboo issue, but the management of Sapiens understands that the best solution to colonize other galaxies at this stage is to create artificial humans using local materials.
This is also the source of the new humans at the Superstar Colony Branch.
