Chapter 260 Unlocking New Technology Jin Qiaoying was appointed by Zhang Jing and recognized by Ye Rongshan and a group of former leaders as the head of the Financial Trade Department. In this era, he is the third-ranked member after Chairman Fan Ren and Vice Chairman Liu Shengzhan. Before he knew it, he had already exuded the strong aura of a member of the No. 3 committee. After she brought the topic of discussion back to the main thread, the budding objections in the entire conference room seemed to be completely eradicated in an instant. Fan Ren glanced at everyone. As the chairman of the Human Civilization Committee, he had the decision-making power on certain non-major matters. But it is obvious that through this meeting, everyone present discovered that the chairman, who still looks young today, did not use his supreme power at will. Through the analysis and demonstration of several young members and alternate members, this matter was gradually recognized and accepted by everyone present. In everyone's view, this is definitely a more gentle and effective decision-making situation. After all, as key members and senior officials of the Human Civilization Commission, they each have their own understanding of development and their own interests among departments. And now that the chairman can do this, they have actually accepted it in their hearts.
Fan Ren glanced at everyone and then kept silent, knowing that there should be no obstacles to obtaining a loan to purchase and set up the Star Gate. He folded his hands together and tapped them rhythmically on the table subconsciously, while thinking about the suggestions Xu Hongwei had made earlier. "Well, Chairman? What do you think of Minister Jin's proposal?" Liu Shengzhan, who was standing by, coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the meeting room as everyone was waiting for him to speak. Fan Ren came back to his senses. He smiled and shook his head apologetically: "Sorry, I'm considering Minister Xu's proposal. We'll talk about this later." He didn't feel too embarrassed. After a simple apology, he raised his voice and continued, "In this case, let's vote on the proposal of "whether to borrow money to purchase and build a star gate"." After the words fell, everyone subconsciously glanced around, and then focused their attention on the chairman sitting in the main seat again. "If you agree, please raise your hands!" With a "swish" sound, dozens of arms were raised in unison in the conference room. With the conclusion of the previous joint meeting of senior officials from many departments, the procurement and installation of the Star Gate began immediately, with the Ministry of Commerce as the leader and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the auxiliary. In the following days, a loan procurement team consisting of several Peregrine Falcons was transported by the Conqueror and transferred again via the Ross 154 planetary system to Sirius Prime to handle related matters. Conqueror, in the captain's lounge. Fan Ren lay quietly on the wide bed, his eyes slightly closed, his chest rising and falling slowly, as if he had fallen asleep. Basic Science: Level 1 (702/1000) Electronics: Level 1 (935/1000) Mechanics: Level 1 (938/1000) Materials Science: Level 1 (991/1000) Astronautics: Level 1 (721/1000)
Elementary graviton physics unlocked, strong molecular engineering unlocked, electromagnetic physics unlocked, high energy physics unlocked, nanoengineering unlocked, quantum physics unlocked. Warp Drive Unlocked! The two subjects with the slowest growth in experience points are basic science and space science. As the experience value broke through the 700 mark, the system gave Fanren extremely generous rewards this time. In terms of basic science, whether it is only elementary-level graviton physics, or other aspects that humans have already had some exposure to, such as strong molecules, electromagnetism, high-energy physics, nanoengineering, and quantum mechanics, all of these will greatly increase the serious shortage of basic scientific knowledge reserves caused by the current rapid development of humans. After the basic knowledge of graviton physics was transmitted into Fanren's brain, he became the first human being to open the mysterious door to the discipline of gravitation. As a fundamental particle that has always been hypothesized to exist by humans, this hypothesis has been controversial since its birth. This situation continued until the Conqueror was discovered, and its existence was truly confirmed during the initial use of the tractor beam. However, even though there are references and actual proofs, the fact is that nearly a hundred years have passed until now. Human scientists have not yet discovered this kind of elementary particles that are ubiquitous in natural space using effective means. Furthermore, according to the Galactic Alliance's definition of civilization rating, only civilizations that possess space and gravity technology can be rated as level four civilizations. In this case, one can imagine how difficult it is to study this kind of graviton physics. But now, this technology was "easily" sent to Fanren's brain by the system. This is a medium particle responsible for transmitting gravity, just like photons transmit electromagnetic force. Without it, there would be no gravity. After reading the knowledge transmitted by the system, Fan Ren suddenly realized why this particle is difficult to detect. It is precisely because of its zero mass, and more importantly, because it serves as a medium for transmitting gravity, the interaction force between these particles is basically zero, and it is everywhere, which makes the discovery process extremely difficult. Now, with a systematic explanation, Fanren is unable to research related products corresponding to his discipline. However, we can use this as a basis to skip the long process of searching for gravitons in the future, and directly guide human scientists in related fields to walk directly onto this avenue of starlight. The subsequent strong molecular engineering provided a systematic theoretical explanation of the material processing technology provided by the fox. This is also an important knowledge reserve that can help humans conduct the next material processing technology research. Electromagnetic physics is different. After reading the relevant knowledge reserves, he finally smiled, having been nervous not long ago because the performance of electromagnetic weapons in the star market was at least 30% higher than that of human products. This is completely the system's fire-starting and coal-sending. Through systematic, in-depth and easy-to-understand explanations and theoretical introductions of electromagnetism, Fanren will be able to conduct more in-depth research and improvement on the performance of electromagnetic rail weapons currently used by humans in a short period of time in the future. Next, high energy physics. Similarly, nuclear fusion technology is not very popular in the star market, but it is a technology that must exist in the hands of every civilization in the galactic alliance. The emergence of this high-energy physics will enable research breakthroughs in nuclear fusion technology to be achieved more quickly. For example, in the conversion of nuclear fusion energy.
In terms of the thrust-to-weight conversion efficiency of nuclear fusion engines. Let’s take a simple example. Today, human civilization's hybrid engine groups have certain advantages in energy supply compared to afterburners. However, due to the existence of its nuclear fusion engine, the space occupied by the engine group is much larger. Now that we have made a breakthrough in this area, the thrust-to-weight ratio of nuclear fusion engines built in the future can be made even higher than it is now. This allows more space to be saved for other uses on a spacecraft equipped with this engine group. (End of this chapter)
