After staying in the fortress for two days, Li Ruobai already understood all aspects of the fortress and began to try to solve the problem from an angle that Chu Jungui could not see.
For example, in order to obtain high-quality high-quality alloys, Chu Jungui needed to extract rare metals from the remains of federal tank mechas. This method is dangerous, mainly because it is very slow and the source is quite unstable. However, these rare metals were used in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The Federation's supplies are all strategic materials, so the fleet must be prepared and have a surplus before going out.
The pure metal prepared by a starship fleet is measured in hundreds of tons. Chu Jungui's current demand in grams is not worth mentioning, so if necessary, just purchase it directly from the Tang Dynasty Fleet.
In view of Chu Jungui's current financial situation, I am afraid that he cannot get credit and can only barter. As for the materials for sale, Li Ruobai chose single crystal metallic hydrogen. Making metallic hydrogen requires a lot of energy, and then further making it into a stable crystal state.
The energy required is doubled.
The current price of one ton of single crystal metallic hydrogen is about 50 million, and the electricity consumption is about 10 million kilowatt hours. Now that we are in a war zone, the price of materials may more than double. The preparation equipment is not complicated, and it can be produced in about a day.
come out.
In view of the nearly unlimited supply of energy on Planet 4, the unlimited supply and unlimited demand for this raw material, it is perfect to prepare things that require massive amounts of energy as trade goods. Seriously speaking, there is almost no cost. Just cut down a few trees,
It is equivalent to having enough fuel for a fusion power station to consume for a year.
After crystallization, metallic hydrogen becomes extremely heavy, even denser than platinum, so that one ton does not take up much space, and is not as big as the small bag Li Ruobai carried when he came.
Seeing this report, Chu Jungui felt that the sky above his head was bright. For such a long time, this was the only way to fundamentally solve his debt problem.
Chu Jungui picked up Li Ruobai and gave him a hard hug, and then a scream sounded from his arms. Only then did Chu Jungui realize that he had unintentionally used too much force.
Li Ruobai broke free and looked at the obvious dents on the surface of his armor, feeling dazed for a while.
Chu Jungui was a little apologetic. He had just been overly excited and exerted a little too much energy. This phenomenon rarely occurred in test subjects in the past.
After regaining consciousness, Li Ruobai said: "Jun Gui, if you have time, go see Xinyi and talk to her. Don't always be with your tanks and guns."
"What's wrong?"
"She's been, uh, in a bad mood lately."
"OK."
Chu Jungui clicked a few times on his personal terminal, quickly formed a new production plan, and handed it to Li Ruobai. "Ruobai, this is the production plan for metallic hydrogen. You are responsible for handling it."
After saying that, Chu Jungui stood up and left, walking towards the laboratory. The girl basically stayed in the laboratory now.
Li Ruobai looked at the complicated maze-like layout of the production line, sighed, shook his head and said, "You unloyal guy, I'll help you solve the problem. It's better for you to just let me work."
In the laboratory area, the laboratory that originally belonged to Le Mans has been completely occupied by girls. In less than a day, the internal layout has completely changed. Design drawings of equipment flew into Le Mans' hands like snowflakes, and these
A former chief scientist turned engineer building research equipment.
Le Mans was so busy that he was sweating, but he ran back and forth happily and almost bumped into Chu Jungui who had just entered the door.
Chu Jungui put his hand on Le Mang's shoulder and pulled it back slightly to absorb all the momentum, but it was still difficult to avoid the disaster. A drop of oil flew out of Le Mang's head and landed on Chu Jungui's armor.
Before Chu Jungui could speak, Le Mans said: "Please excuse me, all these equipments have to be made, Miss Xinyi is waiting to use them."
"Give me a copy of the design drawing."
Le Mans's stubby fingers were filled with missiles, like raindrops falling on a disk, and he instantly passed seven or eight design drawings to Chu Jungui, before he hurried away.
Chu Jungui took off his helmet and walked behind the girl. As soon as he entered the personal terminal, he had thoroughly looked at the design drawings. Most of them were used for research equipment on chips, main brains and circuits, but some of them were general-purpose.
The equipment can be used for other research.
This makes it understandable why Le Mans is so excited, because these devices are obviously put together to develop a more advanced master brain. In the 35th century, without the master brain, most scientists can hardly walk. First arrived on the 4th
On the planet, these scientists were basically used as workers or soldiers, and their research tasks relied almost entirely on personal chips and Chu Jungui's own brain.
It was not until the emergence of biochips and the acquisition of Kaitian that Le Mans and other scientists were able to get rid of the influence of the planetary environment, and with the support of computing power, the research process advanced by leaps and bounds, gradually reducing the pressure on Chu Jungui. Now in terms of computing power ratio
Look, Chu Jungui and agent chips account for less than 10%.
Li Xinyi set out to improve the main brain and fundamentally improve the computing power, thereby laying the foundation for larger research projects.
At this moment, the girl was staring at an extremely complex three-dimensional pattern in front of her, adjusting it carefully. Chu Jungui did not disturb her, and after looking behind her for a while, he knew that this was the main structure of Prometheus. The girl was actually interested in the Federation.
Adjusting the basic main structure that has been researched by the whole country, even if it is just a slight adjustment, is quite amazing. I don't know whether to call her bold or reckless.
Next to the girl, the original biological experiment table was moved to the next room, and now there is Kaitian's training table. Little Kaitian is working hard to calculate the assigned tasks. Although there are only two tasks assigned to it,
The complexity of the formula has grown exponentially compared to the past. Seeing Xiao Kaitian eating hard and working hard at the same time, even the test subject felt a little sad.
An alien life has to work from birth, and even eating becomes a task, which makes me feel miserable when I think about it.
At this time, the girl finally completed a stage of the work. She breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back, and called out: "Brother-in-law."
The voice was steady, the tone was soothing, and there was no emotional change at all. From this, Chu Jungui concluded that the girl was still immersed in research, and she didn't seem to be in a particularly bad mood.
"How is the progress of the research?"
The girl enlarged the model, pointed to the modified parts, and said: "I have made some fine-tuning to the Prometheus architecture to better adapt to the performance characteristics of biochips. The overall computing power after adjustment will increase by about 20%. In the future
As biochips improve, further improvements can be made, but the extent of improvement will become quite limited."
"Being able to improve the basic architecture is already very impressive." Chu Jungui was really not flattering. At least he himself could not change the basic architecture of Prometheus and could only take the simple and crude route of increasing the number of chips.
"Prometheus was designed a long time ago, and the concept has long been outdated. Improvement is actually not as difficult as it seems. After all, there is no need to develop a biological master brain under normal circumstances. Our current master brain still has great potential that has not been realized.
.The design of biochips can still be improved, but it requires a lot of new equipment, and the current organic matter editor cannot handle chips of this level."
The girl talked freely and proposed basic improvements. It seemed that she was a scientific girl who worked seriously and did not seem to be in a bad mood at all.
Chu Jungui felt relieved and said, "Then I'll leave first."
