Chapter 226 Electron imbalance, dark clouds overwhelm the city
Ren Zhong squatted in front of the operation panel of an integrated machine about the size of a house.
The central area of the operation panel displays three-dimensional modeling.
The model is a pile of mineral powders stacked together.
In high temperature and high pressure environments, the compound molecules in the powder are extremely active.
A dense network of silk threads is interspersed in the powder.
These thread networks are not substantial matter, but electrical currents that are finely controlled by magnetic field forces.
The metal powder near the point where the mesh current penetrates shows changes in fluid state.
Continuing to zoom in, you can see in the data modeling that a large number of electrons are impacting the chemical bonds of the metal compounds in the powder.
As electrons impact one after another, the originally stable chemical bonds are gradually broken, and the compounds are directly "electrolytically reduced" to elemental plasma.
Metal plasma self-polymerizes into elemental metal.
The oxygen atom plasma automatically pairs into oxygen molecules.
The same goes for other substances.
At present, the prototype of the technical principle of this new extraction process has been released. What needs to be improved is the process method of industrial production, mainly in terms of reducing energy consumption, improving stability, etc.
This is exactly the research direction of the new extraction technology laboratory.
The experimental-grade machinery in front of Ren Zhong costs tens of billions of points, has a volume of at least hundreds of cubic meters, and consumes extremely high energy. However, its processing capacity is only less than one hundred kilograms of minerals per day, which is equivalent to a loss of millions of contributions per day.
point of electrical energy.
It is still operating at a loss, and it is still infinitely far away from industrial application.
On his first day here, Ren Zhong had a preliminary understanding of its working principle.
This is another in-depth application of the Ruins Beast chip.
These currents are coming from the energy reserves released by a large number of beast arrays, and are not solar or nuclear power generation devices in the conventional sense.
In addition, there are huge arrays in the machine to modify the current characteristics so that the electron flow generated by it is more stable and has a higher energy level.
If this technology can be applied on a large scale, it will completely simplify the metallurgical process.
As long as there is enough electrical energy, humans on the Source Star can refine minerals from almost any planet at will in space.
In space, the most likely thing that will never be lacking and has the widest application scenarios is electricity.
Ren Zhong compared this electric current metallurgy process with electrometallurgy on Earth, and he realized that it was almost impossible to achieve on Earth.
Because the atoms on the earth are not so "obedient".
"Hey, isn't it your rest time now? What are you doing here alone, Ren Zhong?"
When Ren Zhong was lost in thought, a colleague from the project team passed by him and asked casually.
Ren Zhong sighed, "The stupid bird flies first. I have to hurry up. Otherwise, if I can't keep up with the rhythm of the project team, wouldn't it be a drag on others?"
The colleague was stunned.
To be honest, Ren Zhong has only been here for a few days, and he has already changed from a pure newbie who didn't understand anything at the beginning and asked questions about everything, to someone who can actually join the project, operate the experimental process steadily and independently, and
Mature researchers who are seriously involved in discussing details are simply monsters.
As a result, this guy even said something about the ancient literate idiom "the stupid bird flies first"!
People who don't know him well will think he is showing off, but those who know him already know that this is his accomplishment.
This man is different from his arrogance in the laboratory when he is a businessman outside. He has the word humility engraved in his bones.
Sure enough, Ren Zhong immediately asked another question, "Sister Zeng, you are in charge of the catalyst sector, right? I want to ask..."
…
Time flies, and it’s the 108th day of the Ren Zhong Era in the blink of an eye.
He took a leave of absence from the laboratory and returned to Spark Town.
Counting the days, today should be Ying's due date.
He was not at ease, and he could not communicate with Sun Miao on his watch about this matter, so he could only go back and see the situation in person.
In the basement of Ren's Institute of Biopharmaceuticals, Ren Zhong and Sun Miao were standing outside the isolation room with solemn expressions.
"Brother Sun, what's going on? Doesn't it mean that the development speed of embryos is ten times that of ordinary embryos, so today should be the due date, right?"
Ren Zhong asked.
Sun Miao shook his head, "I had predicted this based on common sense before, but obviously something happened. The fetal development has almost stopped, but the signs of life are still maintained. But the fetus shows no signs of wanting to wake itself up."
Ren Zhong: "Do you want a caesarean section?"
Sun Miao continued to shake her head, "I don't know."
"What exactly is the reason?"
Sun Miao thought for a while, "The problem should be that she has no 'soul'."
"How long will the new due date be?"
Sun Miao opened a data model and analyzed: "If we do nothing, she may never move. But according to this slowed development rate, wait another month, her brain neurons will
The cells will develop to a mature stage. Then, they can withstand data entry. I must adjust the plan to allow it to accept soul burning in Shadow's belly, so that she can be awakened."
Ren Zhong: "Then we need a molecular reconstruction device. The matter of purchasing a molecular reconstruction device..."
"The Mengdu Group is very satisfied with your willingness to invest tens of billions to purchase their idle equipment, and thinks this is your way of expressing your sincerity in reconciliation to them. But..."
"but what?"
"But it is a foregone conclusion that Xinghuo Town will be listed as an experimental area. Mengdu Group requires us to move the laboratory to Chromium Carbon Town as soon as possible before we are willing to proceed with the next step of the transaction. I personally feel that it is time to consider moving."
Ren Zhong was silent for a long time.
Calculating the time, in nine days, the Mengdu Group's Ruin Beast Impact Experiment will officially begin.
It's too late.
"Brother Sun, please suspend this project. Just give Ying basic care. In addition, I need you to help me create a batch of medicine."
"What medicine?"
“Drugs that can quickly explode human potential.”
Sun Miao was shocked, "Do you really plan to live and die with this town? Are you crazy! How did you teach me at that time? You can leave green hills without worrying about having firewood!"
Ren Zhong asked again: "Brother Sun, my plan this time is not perfect enough and needs to be revised again. We have to face reality."
"What reality?"
"If the soul can be burned in the next few days, then I will agree with your idea of relocating and leave Starfire Town with you. Even if this will disappoint the original 20,000 deserters in Starfire Town, and the reason why I came here
The expectations of the hundreds of thousands of wild people who have come here, even if they are criticized by thousands of people, I still want to see more information. But, since you said there is still one month. We can't wait. So... this
The weight of the matter has been reduced for me."
Sun Miao completely understood Ren Zhong's thoughts and immediately became furious, "I'm going to fuck you! I listened to your righteousness and sold all the human brain transplantation technology! I came here to make trouble with you! You don't know what to do!
How much pressure is on my heart! Damn you, now that we are just one step away from death, you actually want to die like this? Fuck you!"
While cursing angrily, he stretched out his hand and pushed Ren Zhong, as if this was the only way to vent his anger.
Ren Zhong was pushed several times by him, but he didn't move at all, only staring at Sun Miao.
After a long time, Sun Miao finally calmed down again.
Ren Zhong only said slowly: "Brother Sun, how long have we known each other?"
"More than three months, what the hell are you going to say?"
"Maybe you can't understand it now, and I can't explain it to you. But do you believe in my essence? Do you know what my essence is? Will I make meaningless sacrifices?"
Sun Miao's lips trembled.
He didn't quite understand and was confused.
In his eyes, he is "treacherous" and "cunning". He always makes decisions before taking action, considers problems thoroughly and meticulously, and acts flawlessly. He can be said to be the purest silver coin among old silver coins.
Under normal circumstances, one must be able to recognize the seriousness of the responsibilities and weigh the pros and cons clearly.
Then, of course, if you have a heavy responsibility, you should know that sacrifice is inevitable, and being infamy is inevitable, but as long as you serve your ideals and your original intention remains unchanged, you can clearly bear these costs.
But this time, Ren Zhong had such a strong desire to die.
This is too abnormal.
It's so unreasonable.
After looking at Ren Zhong's sincere eyes, Sun Miao turned away after a long time.
"The one who steps on the horse! I'll fuck the one who steps on the horse! You have to at least tell me what you want to see!"
Ren Zhong gave an ambiguous answer.
"I want to see if there is really fire on the Source Star. Similarly, I also want to see what kind of fighting power can be unleashed by hundreds of thousands of people who are pushed to the extreme in such a desperate situation. Because I want to subvert
What I want is the entire Origin Star. I want to be the enemy of the world. This fight will become a valuable experience for me."
"Then what's the use of just looking at it! If you die, it's all over! No matter how much experience you have, what's the use!"
Ren Zhong smiled confidently, "Brother Sun, I won't die. You won't die either."
"me……"
Ren Zhong knew that Sun Miao had made a decision, so he only patted him on the shoulder, then went to change into isolation clothes and entered Ying's room.
"how do you feel?"
"It's pretty good. It's exactly the same as when I was pregnant with my son. Since yesterday, I don't have to overeat anymore and I feel a lot more relaxed."
Ying smiled and stroked his swollen belly, with an indescribable faint glow on his face.
Ren nodded, "As long as it's okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. Manager Ju came to see me two days ago. She said you were polite to everyone, which is true."
Ren Zhong smiled, "That's true, I'll try my best to change it."
Shadow: "Manager Ju also taught me an idiom."
"What?"
“It’s easy to change a country but hard to change its nature.”
…
More than ten minutes later, Ren Zhong walked to the armor laboratory next door.
In the workshop of the laboratory, which is open to the public, Wen Lei is staring intently at a large amount of rapidly refreshing data.
On the dozens of micro-automated assembly lines nearby, standardized modified parts are being rolled out one after another.
Robotic arms are assembling these parts into finished equipment at extremely fast speeds.
Noticing Ren Zhong entering the door, Wen Lei smiled and greeted: "Mr. Ren."
Ren Zhong came over and asked, "How is it?"
"In about two or three days, all the mecha warriors in our five-hundred-person hunting group will be able to replace their fully upgraded version of the second-level exoskeleton. Manager Ju has programmed many of your experience in using the amplifier into it, Mr. Ren.
, our second-level mecha warriors can stably exert power that is infinitely close to that of third-level warriors in five minutes. This is equivalent to us having as many as hundreds of third-level warriors."
Ren nodded, "It's so beautiful."
"Yes, I never dared to think that we could actually mass-produce these equipment."
"Um."
A moment later, Wen Lei, who was described as rough, secretly glanced at Ren Zhong, who was deep in thought, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ren, can we win this time?"
Ren Zhong smiled, "We will win in the end."
"Um!"
…
Day 119 of the Ren Zhong Era, early morning.
A shrill siren sounded over Xinghuo Town at six o'clock in the morning.
The night watchman, who was about to take his shift to rest, stood stupidly on the high tower at the top of the city, staring blankly at the wilderness ahead.
The sky, the ground, and the dense and terrifying hordes of beasts are overwhelming, which is more heart-wrenching than the infinite trials like virtual reality training.
This is not a virtual beast created by data simulation, but a real wave of man-eating beasts.
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, and the city is about to be destroyed.
The heavy responsibility at this time still lies in the laboratory dormitory area of Chenhui Mining Area.
He just got up.
He knows what will happen today.
But he did not return immediately.
He has his plan.
He wanted to see what the barren people of Spark Town could do on their own without him as a nanny.
As the chairman of the Ren Group, he only sent a message to every member of Xinghuo Desolation through their watches.
"Everyone, prepare to fight. My work in the Chenhui Mining Area is very important, and I cannot escape for the time being. I will return in three days and live and die with you."
At the same time, Tanggu Group, Nianlishi Organization, Mengdu Group, and Business Association all captured his information.
Each of these institutions has their own opinions.
The evaluation of the male eighth-level telekinesis master who had reviewed Ren Zhong with Xiao Xingyue was very classic.
"What a shameless good businessman. He even uses dead people for social experiments. He is so cruel."
