Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

"Very good, this solves an urgent need."

Su Wen nodded approvingly:

It has to be brilliant.

To be honest, she is actually far more professional than Akashi in arranging such a large industrial project.

After all, although both are now 'mental humanoids' evolved from 'perfect intelligent life'.

But the gap between the hardware foundations is here, and after all, it is impossible to generalize.

The mental humanoid evolved from the Alpha core is much stronger than the mental humanoid evolved from the Beta core.

With her keeping an eye on this, Su Wen can feel completely at ease.

Just like since Guanghui came to his side, he has never cared about the production and construction of Reach.

There is no need for him to give instructions, Guanghui will handle these trivial matters meticulously and properly.

It is no exaggeration to say that she is a perfect wife.

The same is true now - after the intervention of Guanghui, the development efficiency of hard optical materials can also reach the maximum.

The production of this kind of material is undoubtedly an urgent need for today’s empire:

——In the core star region of the empire, resources are too scarce.

It is not that there is a shortage of 'conventional industrial resources' such as gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, petroleum, coal and natural gas;

Rather, "scarce strategic resources in the interstellar era" such as "Zero Element", "Zero", and "Explosive Particles" are too scarce.

In fact most of them don't have any at all.

This restricted the further development of the empire.

Su Wen has been unable to determine the development direction of the next big stage...

...Same as the situation on Blue Star.

In the interstellar era, the development of a civilization's industry, military, cutting-edge technology and other fields will also test the reserves and types of major strategic resources controlled within the civilization's territory.

After all, Su Wen is a veteran player of the Savage Six and knows this very well.

That’s not to say that you can’t survive without strategic resources.

But without certain important strategic resources, there will indeed be many detours.

And without this support, we will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage in many areas, especially the most direct military confrontation...

Just like others preparing for a wave of early battles with iron swords and ponies, but I can only use sticks and cars to deal with it, no matter how hard I fight, I will feel frustrated.

The advantage of the times comes from the advantage of science and technology, and the military advantage comes from the advantage of equipment. All of these are essentially based on the advantages of resources and materials.

In fact, the same is true in the real world.

After all, Savage Six itself is also simulating the direction of human civilization.

As far back as the classical era, fighting for copper, iron, and saltpeter, as recently as the Gulf War fighting for control of the Middle East, and beating people's brains into dogs' brains for the desert floating on the sea of ​​oil, are all essentially fighting for control of strategic resources.

In order to prevent our own side from becoming a prey for others due to lack of strategic resources;

Or it may be to control strategic resources and prevent other civilizations from obtaining them, so that they can become the new Roman Empire.

After the interstellar era, this kind of competition still continues:

——Between interstellar civilizations and interstellar civilizations, there is also a gap in the combat effectiveness of military equipment caused by certain materials, certain technologies, and certain resources.

Don’t talk about the far ones, just talk about the near ones.

The fellow Nafi people were exterminated because of the 'Perfect Intelligent Life Mass Production Method'.

This kind of technology can theoretically be regarded as affecting a kind of strategic material.

...The artificial intelligence core itself is a highly controlled strategic material in the interstellar world.

It goes without saying that if you upgrade to a 'perfect intelligent life'.

And it was born in the "uncertain light", which is also unique in the universe and has no semicolon.

From this perspective.

Su Wen has developed so rapidly since his debut, and he has gained a unique advantage in this regard.

The important resources that led to the demise of the Fei clan back then were monopolized by him. It was no wonder that he was unhappy.

However, mental humanoids have their limitations after all.

They can act as managers, researchers, generals, communication base stations...

...even providing 'emotional radio' services is no problem.

But they cannot be 'resource producers'.

No matter how thoughtful Guanghui is, he cannot conjure up a 'Giga Zero Element Forge' out of thin air.

Therefore, Su Wen actually had some headaches in the past period of time.

Advanced resources in the interstellar era are not easy to come by.

For example, in order to produce tachyons, he built a super-large space station.

In order to produce antimatter, the giant structure that was photographed is still working overtime to repair it, and the base has just been completed.

These are bottomless pits of national strength with heavy short-term investment and heavy long-term investment.

That's it, it's just material resources in the two aspects of 'information' and 'energy'.

Material resources in the local field of 'Material Science' are unclear.

Originally, after weighing the pros and cons, Su Wen wanted the 'zero element' the most.

That is, degenerate matter.

Zero element is a T6 level metal material.

It is intended to replace T4 resistant steel alloy as the main option for the next generation of armor, structure and other materials.

He had done pretty well before:

The empire has not yet begun to expand its territory, and the inner galaxy has just begun to be explored...

Without further ado, why can’t we encounter a white dwarf, pulsar, or neutron star in two-ring or three-ring galaxies?

Even more, four, five, five or six are not impossible to have.

It’s not that all these special celestial bodies will be developed.

But at least when you have more choices, you can pick and choose.

Is it not difficult to find a galaxy with a better environment and a higher zero-element production capacity limit, build a giga-zero element forging plant, and develop it into an exclusive armor supply factory for imperial military ships?

...Who would have thought, it would be really difficult.

At least among the many galaxies within the second ring, there is not a single one with a neutron star.

Moreover, the two Hippers are still leading a team to explore the three-ring galaxy. Until today, none of the three-ring galaxies that the two exploration fleets have visited has a neutron star as the main star.

...This really puts a cap on it.

So Su Wen was at a loss and couldn't decide what to choose for the next generation of armor materials.

Using t4 and thinking about t6 seems to be too ambitious.

Before entering the stage of intermediate interstellar civilization, we should consider what higher civilization should do.

But in fact, determining the direction of development is a crucial matter in itself.

Otherwise, it would be easy to make one wrong step or the next.

Not to mention that the time, energy, and resources wasted in the process of taking detours cannot be recovered.

Let’s take the history of Blue Star as an example.

In the early days of the Cold War, when both sides were developing computers, there was a dispute between transistors and electron tubes.

When the Americans developed transistors, they determined that they would be able to follow the correct path from germanium tubes to silicon tubes to silicon wafers.

And laid the foundation for the monopoly advantage of the U.S. semiconductor industry around the world after the Cold War until today.

Therefore, people who sometimes think that domestic chips are not developing fast enough should think about it carefully.

Intel's advantages were not created when it was founded, but were laid down in the 1950s when BIM and Bell Labs worked on germanium transistors.

During the same period, China imported not only radios and televisions, but also nails and kerosene.

Our scientists have spent more than ten years catching up with others' advantages of nearly a century, and even made others impatient and imposed sanctions. This is already a very remarkable achievement.

...As for the Soviet Union.

Well, the Soviet Union is a negative example here.

In the early days of the Cold War, due to certain political reasons, I insisted on taking the electronic tube route, and eventually developed into a lame waste.

When it comes to the mechanical design of Soviet-style equipment, everyone talks about it.

But when it comes to the Soviet Union's achievements in electronic equipment, there is almost nothing that can be demonstrated.

The one-ton super-large radar of the Su-27 is even more notorious.

This is the cost of going in the wrong direction.

therefore.

Before determining a feasible direction, Su Wen would rather give up progress in this area and live by T4 Technology.

Then...

Haven’t we waited for this good day?

'hard light';

'Aether Dragon Scale'.

Two T6 materials, one is readily available and the other also has promising analytical technology.

Where can I find such a good thing?

but...

Su Wen had further ideas.

"After the hard light mining station is established, of course it must be run with full efficiency immediately,"

He opened the database and his eyes wandered between a series of holographic images.

"But once you get this thing, you can't use it carelessly."

The only use of hard light in the current empire is to supply the production of the Mind Cube.

It is one of the three main materials of the Mental Cube.

And in the production process of the Mental Cube, the largest amount of hard light is used.

Higher than the core of artificial intelligence and the indefinite photon entity.

One of the latter two is enough.

Hard light requires about thirty-six liters.

——The reason why we use volume instead of mass is mainly because this thing weighs almost nothing.

And the process of producing it is also similar to solidification from liquid, which is more vivid in terms of liters.

In this analogy, it indeed consumes the most.

however.

After acquiring the museum planet, the degree of 'high consumption' is completely incomparable.

From the specimen library on the inner floor of the museum, if you just pull out a crystal block, it would take hundreds or even thousands of cubic meters.

The output of artificial intelligence cores cannot keep up at all.

Not to mention the Uncertain Light, one division cycle only produces single-digit fruiting bodies.

Sometimes there is only one.

Sometimes there are only seven or eight, which is enough to break the sky.

Therefore, the demand for the Mental Rubik's Cube is really not worth mentioning.

No surprise.

Su Wen turned his attention to the ship armor.

This was what he cared about most.

but...

"Directly laying armor with hard light is the most inefficient method and can be called a waste of natural resources."

"We have better options."

Su Wen put down the bone china tea cup in his hand.

"You should still remember that we had an armor technology with excellent performance but no conditions for application..."

"Of course, I do remember."

Guanghui smiled.

Not just remember.

And she also learned from the records in the database,

That technology once caused her commander a lot of trouble.

and...

It itself comes with the 'Mind Cube':
