Chapter 411 No Progress

For example, Xu Yanxia, ​​who ran to the cake shop and said she was going to lose her job, now has a team with her former colleagues to set up a mecha research institute. However, it is not a private research institute, after all, Xu Yanxia's original work was military.

So she applied to open a mecha research institute, naturally under the military system.

Since it is a research project, the new government has research funds allocated, so after leaving the original tactical armor mechanical maintenance team, Xu Yanxia also has a new goal.

Because the new government adopted the advice of those experts, even if strong artificial intelligence has been put into use, some development projects have been retained. Although sometimes it seems useless, the new government still gives these projects some research funds.

Therefore, there are many people like Xu Yanxia, ​​some of whom have devoted themselves to scientific research, and some continue to dig deep in the industry that has been replaced by strong artificial intelligence, in order to come up with some new inventions and new models.

The same is true for human knowledge and ability assessment.

For example, the little girl Li Xuan who bought cakes back then, after the cake industry was completely squeezed out by strong artificial intelligence, she chose the path of art.

Yes, it is the art of plating, food carving, platter art, etc. that are very popular in the 21st century. Although this art has some extravagant connotations, now that humans seem to have entered a stage of Renaissance, many people buy into it.

Especially in the era when strong artificial intelligence gradually replaces various industries, many people can't help but feel nostalgic.

This person even created his own small group in his own network, and made a big fuss about things made by robots have no soul, and only artificial things have souls.

Although from the perspective of the new government, this behavior is somewhat inappropriate and not mainstream, it can also allow some people to find spiritual sustenance.

Li Xuan, who lost her cake shop, is one of them.

Relying on the gimmicks of handicrafts and art, Li Xuan set up a large handicraft alliance among the people, and advocated the soul of handicrafts among the people, which in turn attracted a large number of nostalgic people for the gimmick, and it was quite colorful.

At least there is no need to worry about contribution points, but if she wants to survive the 1,500-year mark, people like her still lack an artistic achievement that can truly shock the entire human race.

Such types exist in all walks of life.

In short, up to now, the transformation of the whole society has been relatively stable.

Well, let's get back to the topic.

After Yue Yuan came to the No. 3 scientific research spaceship, he floated out of the tactical armor, and soon, under the guidance of the intelligent system, he went to where Yu Nanfeng was.

The layout of the scientific research spaceship is different from that of the battleship and the residential spaceship. Its structural layout is specially designed for better carrying out various scientific research projects.

For example, for experimental projects that require a weightless environment, the scientific research spaceship where it is located will not be designed as a cylindrical rotating type like a residential spaceship. On the contrary, projects that require an overweight environment will be placed on scientific research spaceships that can rotate at high speed.

The No. 3 scientific research spaceship that Yue Yuan came to now is a scientific research ship that looks like a Lake-class battleship. It is also divided into a rest area and a work area. The rest area has the same rotation as the battleship to provide a simulated gravity environment.

Inside it, various spacious laboratories can be seen everywhere, and at a glance, most of them are propulsion systems that are being tested.

As soon as Yue Yuan entered the test area, he saw Yu Nanfeng waving his arms in the control center of an engine system, his mouth opening and closing, and he didn't know what he was saying.

After getting closer, he gradually heard Yu Nanfeng's voice.

"Adjust another set of data, try the parameters of the positron generator according to the following data, and change the electron injection angle again. If the reactor can't bear it, replace it with Alloy No. 2. I really don't believe it."

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Okay, prepare for the 100,070th ignition experiment"

As the conversation ended, the set of thrusters used for the experiment soon had a long tongue of flame. Although separated by a heat insulation barrier, Yue Yuan could still feel the destructive power from the blue flame.

At the same time as the experimental thrusters were ignited, a set of parameters were also transmitted to the central system through various sensors arranged on site for scientists and researchers to analyze and study.

Because this round of experiments was in progress, Yue Yuan was not in a hurry to go over, but stopped at the passage to wait for the end of this ignition experiment.

The waiting time was not long, only about ten minutes.

After hearing the order to shut down the experimental thruster, Yue Yuan slowly drifted to the control center where the expert group was located.

However, as soon as he stepped into the command center, he heard the project leader scientist Yu Nanfeng swear: "Fuck!!! This thrust is still not good enough."

Yue Yuan has heard this sentence many times, and now he no longer has the disappointment he felt at the beginning, but seems to have become a habitual calm.

"General Yue!"

"General!"

As soon as Yue Yuan came in, Yu Nanfeng and a group of scientific researchers and experimental physicists all looked at him and called him out, which was considered a greeting.

In fact, Yu Nanfeng and a group of experimental physicists, scientific researchers and others had known that he was coming. After all, Yue Yuan had notified the strong artificial intelligence in advance when he set off.

Of course, Yue Yuan knew that Yu Nanfeng and others did not pretend to be busy with the experimental thruster until they knew he was coming, but it was their normal work.

"Still no progress?" Yue Yuan couldn't help asking even though he knew the result.

Since humans realized true nanotechnology, the research on more advanced thrusters has never stopped, and the research work has been going on for more than ten years. It can be said that the research and development of thruster technology was earlier than other derivative technologies of true nanotechnology, but other derivative technologies have basically achieved results, only thruster technology has remained stagnant.

For so many years, the reason why humans have not built larger warships and more warships is actually because of the shortcoming of thruster technology.

It is not wrong to say that humans are now focusing on thruster technology, so the pressure on the team of scientists engaged in thruster technology is not small.

"Yes, Chief, we have made countless improvements and fifty experiments, but the power of the thruster cannot be increased. This situation makes me feel like we encountered the barrier of true nanotechnology back then." Yu Nanfeng sighed and shook his head: "Great force can make miracles happen, and increasing the fuel injection has no effect. According to the experimental results, the propulsion device has nothing to do with the amount of fuel. If you want to improve the performance of the thruster, you can only increase the energy level, but according to our current route and ideas, it seems that the energy level cannot be increased."

It has been countless years, and this is the first time that Yue Yuan has heard Yu Nanfeng say this, so he frowned and said: "It is impossible to increase the energy level? Is it because of the fuel?"

Although Yue Yuan is not a scientist, he still understands some technology.

"Yes, it cannot be improved. According to the original statement of the 'Silver Mist Consciousness', true nanotechnology is the symbol of the third-level civilization, and the propulsion system of the third-level civilization uses a combination of charged positive and negative particle thrusters and the propulsion system of the second-level civilization, but the thrust data generated by the thrusters we produce according to this route does not meet the requirements at all." Yu Nanfeng looked a little bitter.

Yue Yuan's focus seemed to be different. He turned his head to look at Yu Nanfeng, and raised his eyebrows: "Does it mean that the positron thruster was successful?"

"Yes!"

To Yue Yuan's surprise, Yu Nanfeng pointed directly to the workbench in the command center and said: "The propulsion system we just tested is that, in fact, we achieved stable ignition more than ten days ago, but its energy level has not been up to standard, so I suppressed it and did not report it for the time being."

"What's the situation?" Yue Yuan was a little confused.

Yu Nanfeng pondered for a moment: "That is, we have achieved the propulsion technology that a third-level civilization should have according to the 'Silver Mist Consciousness', but there is no way to push the warship to 50% of the speed of light."

This.

Yue Yuan looked at the parameters displayed in the command center suspiciously. He could understand these professional parameter data. Using the implanted chip to calculate these parameters, he found that it was indeed as Yu Nanfeng said. Even if this thruster was made bigger, it could not push the warship to 50% of the speed of light.

Seeing this situation, Yue Yuan couldn't help but say: "The so-called third-level civilization thruster technology, could it be that the 'Silver Mist Consciousness' fooled us?!"
