Light is precisely one form of energy that is easiest for humans to understand.
Since the birth of Earth 4.55 billion years ago, it has been illuminated by the sun’s light for 4.55 billion years.
In Earth’s long history, life has originated, cell structures have become complex, and microorganisms, plants, and animals have formed.
Plants are the producers among them.
The meaning of a producer is to use sunlight as an energy source, complete photosynthesis, form organic matter, which is eventually consumed and utilized by animals and nature, and ultimately returns as heat energy.
This heat energy is constantly dispersed into the universe through the atmosphere.
If we assume the atmosphere is confined inwards and heat energy cannot disperse, then the Earth’s mass must be continually increasing.
The increased mass is the weight of light.
The light shining on Earth is not only reflected back into space but also absorbed by the Earth, causing Earth to be impacted by the light pressure.
This light pressure may be extremely small, but it objectively exists.
This is the mass manifestation of light energy.
Since the birth of plants, the emergence of chlorophyll has caused a qualitative change in the earth’s absorption efficiency of sunlight.
Photosynthesis, before humans mastered antimatter technology, remains the most efficient and incredible way to utilize energy known to mankind.
It is full of the mysteries of nature.
Its birth is like the benevolent gift of the universe.
At the moment when light shines on a leaf and enters chlorophyll.
Light is absorbed and transformed into a pure form of energy.
This energy transcends the limitations of time and space, vanishes at the level of light, and is born again from nothingness at the level of chlorophyll. It accurately hits the elusive electron, knocking it off and ultimately catalyzing a series of reactions to produce ATP.
Sergey’s inspiration came from photosynthesis and the incredible high-efficiency quantum transformation that transcends time and space in the process of converting light into matter.
Sergey absorbed all of the knowledge of his predecessors, especially the entire achievements of another great biologist, Willian, and simulated a man-made DNA sequence.
This is a great life form that should not naturally appear in the universe.
Two hundred years later, a generation of experts from the Institute of Life Sciences converted this DNA sequence from theory to reality and synthesized two seeds that were carried to two points in the Solar System’s inner space corresponding to the north and south poles’ straight lines by different spacecraft.
These two seeds absorb light in the cosmic vacuum, germinate and grow a giant membrane as thin as cicada wings, yet strong enough to withstand solar wind and cosmic radiation.
Decades have passed, and the two membranes eventually completed a precise docking on the ecliptic plane, forming an olive-shaped giant egg that covers the orbit between Saturn and Uranus.
It is both mechanical and biological.
It survives in the vacuum of space and completes photosynthesis.
Unlike the quantum reactions in an ordinary tree, the quantum reactions related to photosynthesis in the Dyson membrane are even more amazing.
It can be understood this way: a beam of light on this side of the sun’s orbit shines onto the Dyson membrane, and the energy produced, which can knock off electrons, may be born on the other side of the orbit’s diagonal.
At that instant, energy traversed a distance of 3 billion kilometers, infinitely faster than the speed of light.
Unlike ordinary plants, the electrons knocked out on the Dyson membrane do not immediately strike elements to produce ATP, but instead spiral together into a massive current that rotates around the Dyson membrane. Ultimately, they form a huge electromagnetic field with the same track as the Sun’s north and south pole magnetic fields, in accordance with Ampere’s Law.
This voltage, which drives the current to flow, is infinitely large in human understanding.
Using this voltage difference, humans build parallel circuits on the Dyson membrane and construct a vast long-range microwave power transmission network within the Solar System, delivering current to each planet and space station, providing energy for humans.
When Nora Camp’s fast shuttle heads towards the outer orbits of Uranus, it occasionally changes direction, avoiding the invisible microwave transmission network.
On the other hand, electrons gather at the biological core at the Dyson membrane’s south pole, accompanying the spiraling flow of current.
Electron flow appears to be categorized here, first returning to the source of energy and then re-condensing into matter.
Quarks are born.
Atoms, neutrons, and electrons are born again.
At the south pole of the Dyson membrane, energy directly forms hydrogen and its isotopes from proton and electron combinations.
These isotopes, like the hydrogen elements in the Sun, undergo intense fusion reactions, producing isotopes with larger atomic mass in the periodic table and eventually growing into large biological batteries resembling fruits.
Mass-energy conversion is fully realized here, with pure energy turning into actual matter.
This is equivalent to directly converting solar radiation from energy into matter, creating a new, infinitely recyclable source of new energy.
Its production capacity is limitless.
The sun does not die, and the eternal never ends.
Harrison Clark silently observed the Dyson membrane, imagining the vast electric current inside, too immense to comprehend, and took a deep breath.
He could only exclaim with admiration for its greatness..
