Volume 3 Chapter 57 Black Hole Galaxy
Although humans successfully developed the first generation of antimatter annihilation energy confinement and collection devices ten thousand years ago, they were temporarily unable to put it into production.
This broken asteroid belt is really not suitable for building large factories to produce such equipment.
The rest of the planets in this galaxy are either filled with extremely high temperatures and filled with magma, making them unsuitable for building factories, or they are huge gas planets, which are also unsuitable for building factories.
Otherwise, this galaxy would not have been called a remote galaxy with nothing in it by the later Republic of Mali.
There are no resources here, nor are there any planets suitable for colonization, and the only Earth-like planet has been bombed by humans.
Finally, humans decided to temporarily change their destination and go to a galaxy five light years away to build a factory to produce antimatter annihilation energy confinement and collection devices.
Then continue sailing towards the next goal.
Five light years is not far, and we will arrive there soon. On the way, we can also adjust and perfect the technical details.
Just like that, ten thousand years ago, humans on Earth, not long after bombing this Earth-like planet, completed their research and set sail again.
The destination was not the originally planned target, but it first went to the next country five light years away, and then set sail according to the original plan.
Lin Xu listened to Yinghuo's explanation of the information obtained from the database, and finally understood what humans did here ten thousand years ago.
Fortunately, we found the database of autonomous mechanical aggregates here , and did not set sail directly according to the docking location in the human long-distance voyage plan obtained at the Test Site Planet No. 1. Otherwise, we would have missed the antimatter factory built by humans five light years away.
At the same time, according to the database, humans have not left any laboratories in the asteroid belt.
Moreover, even if there is a laboratory with technical data recorded in it, without specific factory equipment, it would be very time-consuming to produce a confinement device for antimatter annihilation energy from scratch.
When building such a large factory from scratch, many problems that cannot be imagined in the laboratory will be encountered, and they must be solved on site during the process of building the factory.
This requires the self-disciplined machine to spend a lot of time and explore bit by bit.
This is technical information provided by humans, and the technical system is consistent. If it was advanced information picked up from another technical system, you probably wouldn't be able to understand it, let alone build it by trial and error.
Therefore, it would be much easier if we could have a built factory, and then rely on autonomous mechanical aggregates to replicate, and then understand through the replication.
Just like the previous curvature engine factory, there is a ready-made factory on White Star. Lin Xu can use it as a basis to replicate countless similar factories on Earth until the autonomous machine thoroughly understands how to build it.
Later, for the nanorobots on Planet No. 1, the test site, there was no need to build a new factory. There were already nanorobot production factories on Earth. All they had to do was modify them according to the technical data, and then they could gain further understanding in the process of building more nanorobot factories.
But this time, the factory for the antimatter annihilation energy confinement device is a large factory like the curvature engine factory.
So if possible, Lin Xu still wants to find the factory left behind by humans and continue copying homework. That would be much faster than exploring it step by step on his own.
So, after searching in the asteroid belt for a few more days and confirming that there were indeed no laboratories built by humans left here, Lin Xu prepared to immediately head to the next galaxy five light years away, where humans had built factories.
If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a factory there that manufactures antimatter annihilation energy confinement devices left behind by humans.
By then, the earth’s energy system will be able to undergo a major upgrade.
To be honest, even if humans have developed the use of nuclear energy to the extreme, it is gradually becoming unable to supply the energy currently needed on Earth.
Whether it is the consumption of 100,000 curvature engines during navigation, or the construction of one million pillars.
It can even be said that the reason why the Earth Dome Project took a thousand years to complete was largely due to the lack of energy supply.
The existing energy must first be used for the curvature engine, and the remaining energy can be used to build the pillars.
But if we have the energy provided by antimatter annihilation, then everything will be fine.
With such great force, even the speed of the curvature engine can be increased a lot.
According to calculations of several intelligent quantum computers, it would be no problem for the speed of the Earth to double to four or five times the speed of light.
At the same time, the Earth Dome Project can be greatly accelerated, and it is no problem to reduce the construction time by half.
But before leaving, Lin Xu had another thing to do.
It's time to deal with the issue of the prisoners.
Lin Xu, who had been concentrating on his work, finally took the time to pay attention to the captives at this time.
At this time, half a month had passed since the soldiers of the Republic of Mali and the members of the temporary caravan were captured.
The commander of the Republic of Mali, a Malian whose name is transliterated as Kalincha, was nervous and anxious at the beginning, but gradually got used to it and finally calmed down.
After all, no matter what the higher civilization wanted to do, he had no way to stop it. Even if the higher civilization really wanted to blame the Mali civilization for this incident, what else could Kalincha do except argue a few words?
It is even possible that his arguments will never reach the ears of higher civilizations.
In that case, let's just let it be.
Compared to Kalincha's gradual calmness, the captains of the merchant caravans were like frightened birds.
After all, they used to rob and rob people, so when something happens, they will inevitably attribute the things they have done to others.
Think about all the dirty things you did when you looted those lower civilizations, and now it's your turn.
What if higher civilizations treat me the same way?
It would be better to just die.
At this time, several captains began to regret surrendering, even though they died in battle.
However, there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Until Lin Xu finally remembered them.
But how to deal with it is another difficult problem.
Lin Xu ordered Yinghuo to interrogate the two gangs again. Compared to the previous time when the focus was on chaos energy, this time the focus was more on what they had done in the past.
Those people in the caravan were undoubtedly a bunch of scum, the kind that didn't deserve to die, but Lin Xu didn't want to dirty his hands because of these scum.
As for the people of the Republic of Mali, Lin Xu did not have any ill feelings towards them. After all, they were all soldiers who obeyed orders. Lin Xu had a natural liking for soldiers because of the country where he grew up when he was young, even though he learned when he grew up that not all soldiers in the world were like that and that soldiers in some countries were not human.
But I still can't change my good impression of soldiers.
Therefore, Lin Xu also had an idea in his mind about how to deal with these two parties.
However, before Lin Xu made a decision, Yinghuo told Lin Xu something that he accidentally learned during the interrogation.
Five light years away, the galaxy where humans built factories ten thousand years ago is now called the Black Hole Galaxy by the Malians.
