All because of the problems in this star field far away from the Ancestral Star itself, but the control over the distant star field has weakened.
So much so that this star field was born with its own consciousness. Under the interference of this consciousness, the power of the Kuroshio was finally transformed into a harmless way of existence like photons.
This nebula that derives its own sexual consciousness is actually extremely huge, but it is not just as big as the world where Du Xiaochuan is now.
If we really want to describe it, the world Du Xiaochuan is currently in is equivalent to a small bubble in a large bottle of carbonated drink.
The world that Du Xiaochuan has lived in for so many years is the space inside the small bubble.
On the periphery of this survivable world, it is surrounded by a vast area called endless void.
In other words, the endless void is the boundary of this world.
The world he lives in now is much larger than the area of ??a single planet.
Even if it is surrounded by the outer boundary of this endless void, it does not affect the diversity of the development of this world.
Of course, this world has explored the endless void since the beginning of recorded history.
Unfortunately, the endless void is too vast and cannot be explored to the edge. In addition, as long as it penetrates into a certain area of ??the endless void, the photons will disappear.
In this world, most of the few technologies that were born without photons were discovered while exploring the endless void.
From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that the existence of the endless void and the exploration activities it triggers are the driving force behind the development of non-photon technology in this world.
The destination that Du Xiaochuan and the others are trying to reach during this exploration is the endless void at the edge of this world.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of place is a remote area in the entire world.
Thinking of this, Du Xiaochuan couldn't help but look at Vader, and said: "Speaking of which, in addition to photon technology, the Presbyterian Church should also need to develop other technologies."
Hearing Du Xiaochuan mention this topic, Wei Da couldn't help but look at Du Xiaochuan with extremely strange eyes.
Du Xiaochuan felt very uncomfortable by Wei Da's expression, so he said to himself: "Look, isn't the black oil discovered in the southern region more than ten years ago a very good power raw material. After technical decomposition, many kinds of liquid fuels that can burn efficiently can be extracted. As long as they can be used well, warships can be driven even without any photon drive, right?"
Hearing what Du Xiaochuan said, Wei Da seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "I have heard of the report on black oil you mentioned before. It seems to be a relatively efficient fuel. Look."
"Right, and based on speculation, the reserves of that kind of thing underground are quite objective." Du Xiaochuan nodded.
The black oil Du Xiaochuan mentioned is actually something similar to oil in the original world.
Because very early on, this world developed a photon drive system. This efficient energy-driven system can fully meet the needs of this world. Therefore, he does not appear to be very enthusiastic about the search for other energy sources.
It wasn¡¯t until more than ten years ago that some boring people discovered something similar to oil buried deep underground. After being stored and decomposed, it could be used as a relatively efficient source of power.
Just when Du Xiaochuan was still thinking about what to say, Vader's next words poured cold water on Du Xiaochuan.
"Although that kind of thing can be considered to have a good energy supply efficiency, it is far behind compared to photon energy. In addition, it is very troublesome to mine, and it cannot be regenerated after use. , no matter how you look at it, it¡¯s not an energy source worth paying attention to. Could it be that I rested for too long and my thoughts were tangled, so I came up with such weird ideas." After saying this, Wei Da looked at Du Xiaochuan with a look. It's getting weirder and weirder.
Seeing this, Du Xiaochuan couldn't help but sigh.
Du Xiaochuan knew very well that there was nothing wrong with what Vader said just now.
Compared with petroleum resources, photon power has too many advantages. It can simply be said that there are countless.
The simplest one can be used repeatedly to defeat the black oil Du Xiaochuan said. In addition, there is no pollution, the driving force design requirements are also extremely simple, and the use method is easy to change.??etc.
Precisely because of its many advantages, photon power can be so commonly used in this world that other energy methods have no chance to develop.
¡°It¡¯s like what Du Xiaochuan said about oil-like things that don¡¯t attract enough attention at all.
With more convenient and faster ways to use energy, naturally no one will pay attention to inefficient energy.
Even people like Vida, who is at the pinnacle of wisdom in the entire group, feel that developing unexpected energy utilization methods of photon energy is really unnecessary.
"Actually, in the final analysis, this idea may be the result of the influence of common sense on me." Du Xiaochuan thought of this and smiled secretly.
"Actually, when the photon system collapsed, didn't some elders also propose similar ideas to develop technologies other than photon technology? If you really think about it now, it is really necessary." Wei Wei Da then seemed to think of something again and couldn't help but say.
??After nearly six years of formulation and construction of a composite plan, because no one knew whether it was really possible to repair the photon system, someone proposed a plan to develop flying photon technology.
However, the technology of the new system obviously cannot be completed in a short time.
Based on the current situation of the Elders Council, it could only devote all its energy to the development of a composite plan as a gamble.
It can be said that if it doesn¡¯t succeed, it will be Ren¡¯s choice.
But maybe it was the elders¡¯ character, which was really good, that allowed them to win this bet.
In the past two months, the sense of laziness in the aftermath of the disaster has made the elders only focus on relaxing, but they did not think about other things.
"Perhaps, the main target of the elders now should no longer be the research and development of photonic technology, but should turn them to the research and development of non-photonic technology. This is the most correct choice." Vader murmured.
After changing his previous disapproval of Du Xiaochuan's ideas, Wei Da seemed to suddenly realize something after being reminded by Du Xiaochuan.
"This time, the photon system can be repaired, and many of them are lucky. However, no one can guarantee that the photon system will never have problems. Relying all technologies on photon technology, this is really It's too dangerous." Having said this, the expression on Vader's face became even more solemn.
This time the collapse of the photon system was something that no one expected.
Since this photon system can collapse once, no one can guarantee that it will not collapse a second time.
The successful repair this time has already accounted for a lot of luck. So, it is very difficult to say whether the second, third, or even more collapses of the photon system will still have such good luck.
Although this kind of thing seems to be unfounded, Vader cannot allow himself to not think about it.
In the final analysis, what the elders of the Alchemy City are engaged in is similar to this kind of unfounded work. Besides, the elders do have the qualifications to worry about things unfounded.
Once this thought arises in Vader's mind, it can no longer be suppressed. The good mood that had been maintained because the complex plan was successfully completed was completely destroyed by Du Xiaochuan's words.
Now Vader looks quite anxious.
In the end, Vader finally connected to the communication with the Great Elder and felt that it was necessary to have a serious discussion with the Great Elder on this issue.
Seeing Wei Da and the Great Elder discussing this topic, Du Xiaochuan could only shrug: "That guy Wei Da is really born to work hard."
For the topic raised by Vader, Mr. Da Zhang obviously attaches great importance to it. Maybe the Great Elder, who has been doing the work of looking at the overall situation, has been thinking about this issue these days.
While Du Xiaochuan was thinking about these things, the conversation between the two inevitably involved Du Xiaochuan.
"It's depressing." Although he had already expected this situation, Du Xiaochuan still sighed greatly.
How could the Great Elder not ask Du Xiaochuan next to him for his thoughts on such a matter?
Besides, this topic was originally raised by Du Xiaochuan. Obviously, Du Xiaochuan could not stay out of the matter.
"Elder Du, what do you think about this matter?" the elder asked Du Xiaochuan interestingly.
Du Xiaochuan also knows that if he can¡¯t say something valuable,If it's something, the Great Elder probably won't let him get away easily.
After understanding this, Du Xiaochuan said: "About this matter, I don't think it is so complicated. As I have said before, as long as things like black oil develop, If so, it can replace the energy supply of photon energy in conventional power-working bodies. There are many similar situations. As long as we continue to find and develop products and technologies that can replace photon products. If we really want to develop non-photon technology If so, it should probably be such a situation.¡±
The Great Elder was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Elder Du's thoughts are somewhat similar to mine."
Du Xiaochuan thought for a while, and then continued: "Besides, in addition to photons, there are also ready-made solutions for various forms of energy transmission and conversion. In terms of electrical energy, whether it is transmission or various forms of energy conversion, The technologies are already very mature.¡±
The great elder nodded when he heard Du Xiaochuan mention electric energy, and then said: "In terms of electric energy, it is indeed an effective solution. Although both in terms of transmission and conversion, there are huge challenges in terms of photon energy. Advantages. But if you really consider the collapse of the photonic system, electrical energy is indeed the most mature and practical mode we have discovered now."
Speaking of the transmission and transformation of energy, in Du Xiaochuan¡¯s original world, the first thing that came to mind was naturally electrical energy. Moreover, this has always been the only possibility.
But for this world dominated by photonic technology, this is not the case. Speaking of this, even a three-year-old child knows that it relies on the characteristics of photon energy.
The technology of this world has developed to this extent. Of course, it is also a research on power energy. It is known that electricity has the characteristics of transmission and transformation.
However, because photon energy is much superior to electrical energy in this regard, both in gain and loss. All this time, there has been no development.
Now considering the collapse of the photon system, the Great Elder noticed it after Du Xiaochuan reminded him. In terms of electrical energy, it is indeed worth considering.
Afterwards, Du Xiaochuan put forward a lot of opinions, which satisfied the great elder's appetite. Anyway, these are all ready-made items in Du Xiaochuan's mind. Not to mention, these things in the Ancestral Star system are within the scope of Du Xiaochuan's natural knowledge, and he can talk about it easily. The simple thing is that Du Xiaochuan has lived in that kind of world for such a long time. Even an ordinary person can name one, one, two, three, four, five, let alone Du Xiaochuan.
"It is indeed necessary for our board of elders to discuss this matter. Soon, I will unite all members of the board of elders to hold a plenary meeting, and will notify you two at that time. If before then, If you two haven't arrived yet, I'll have to trouble you to hold a remote meeting through the dedicated communication band." The great elder said to Du Xiaochuan and Wei Da before turning off the communication.
In this regard, Du Xiaochuan and Wei Da naturally could only nod.
"Then, I wish you both success in your mission, and I'll take my leave now." The great elder said, and closed the communication.
Glancing at the empty virtual screen, Du Xiaochuan couldn't help but sigh: "Next, I'll probably get busy again."
"It seems that you also think that this matter will eventually be approved by the Presbyterian Council." Vida said to Du Xiaochuan.
Du Xiaochuan nodded, and then said: "Well, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason to fail. Now the elders are like frightened birds about the collapse of photons. In order to prevent the crisis of complete regression of civilization, we developed ** Things other than photon technology are very necessary. The Great Elder and we can think of this, and the other elders are no exception."
For the same thing, stupid people may make different judgments, but smart people will basically make the same choice.
Vader and the Great Elder themselves are smart people, and the other elders who are also smart people naturally have only the option of developing another technological system.
"Forget it, developing another technological route is not a simple matter. Besides, that will happen after we come back. Now, let's pay attention to our mission this time." Du thought of something. Ogawa spoke again.
Hearing what Du Xiaochuan said, Wei Da also temporarily diverted his energy from this matter: "This mission should be nothing. I think it seems that the elders are just worrying about nothing. The endless void, where Not all canDetected some weird reactions, but came over safely. The elders were indeed a little nervous about the strange place of endless void at the border this time. "
The mission of Du Xiaochuan and Wei Da this time is to investigate the abnormal situation in the border void. The boundary of the void is formed in an extremely strange way, and the group of elders has not figured it out until now.
¡° This kind of place that seems quite strange to the elders, some abnormal situations happen every year. In previous years, the elders never paid attention to these abnormal situations.
The anomaly at the boundary of the void has existed since ancient times, but it has never had any impact on this world, and the group of elders will naturally not interfere.
But the current situation is really too special. Maybe the anomaly at the void boundary is related to the composite plan, or it might destroy the operation of the composite plan.
Therefore, this time Du Xiaochuan and Wei Da were sent to check.
Speaking of this mission, Vader thought for a while and then continued: "The further to the outer boundary of the void, the lower the concentration of photons. As long as you go deeper into the void, the photons will completely disappear in the end. Although our current fleet is the strongest fleet in the world, in the final analysis, it still relies on the photon system. In that kind of environment, it will not play a big role at all. "
Later, Vader continued: "If the technology that does not rely on photon technology as mentioned before can be developed to a certain level, it will be possible to explore the area at the boundary of the void. But now, I It seems like there¡¯s no chance.¡±
"You are right to say that. In fact, the elders don't know this. But if you don't do this, the elders, including you, will not feel at ease. In the end, it is a matter of human affairs now. , and just follow fate." Du Xiaochuan pointed out the current situation directly.
Hearing what Du Xiaochuan said, Wei Da also had a wry smile on his face.
Vader knows that this is also true. Even if she was teased like this by Du Xiaochuan, she couldn't refute.
Don¡¯t look at Vader¡¯s current attitude, complaining that doing this now is just a useless effort. But if the elders really don't let Vader do this, she will feel very uneasy.
