Chapter 1044: Hard Currency of Advanced Civilization

"Advanced civilizations rarely come close to the star fields far away from the hyperspace channel, but it is equally difficult for us to go deep into these star fields."

Fang Yuan shrugged, and completed what he said before.

"Yes. The distance between the spiral arms of the Milky Way is generally more than 5,000 light-years. If there is no hyperspace channel, it will take 500 years for the spiral arm of the galaxy next to it to develop a second home, and the curvature at ten times the speed of light will fly to the end. Time." Lang Tongguang followed with emotion.

500 years, on a cosmic scale, is actually not that long.

However, for a person, that is a length of time that cannot be spanned in a lifetime.

"Actually, there is a more critical question. Whether there is a hyperspace node in a star system needs to be explored to confirm. It is not true that there is no star map. After all, the star map we have only accounts for 0.04 of the Milky Way. %." Chu Xingyun added.

"The star map we have now is too old. Is it possible to get the latest star map from the Carbon-based Alliance?" Lang Tongguang looked at the department in charge of communication with alien civilizations in the Supreme Council.

"We have tried it. Piggs from the photosynthetic civilization said that the star map given to us is indeed a star map from 20,000 years ago. The latest star map is a military secret. It is impossible to give it to us, not even a transaction." Foreigner Hu Haitong, head of the communication department of Star Civilization, replied.

"Even if there is no latest, more recent star map, is it possible to get it?" Lang Tongguang asked.

"Piggs' reply is that the star map 3000 years ago is tradable." Hu Haitong replied.

This answer immediately aroused everyone's interest.

"Since it can be traded, when can the transaction be completed?"

"This...according to Piggs' description, we do not have the advanced civilization currency required by the Carbon-based Alliance. Therefore, transactions cannot be realized. At the same time, the number of stars recorded in the 3000-year star map is 100 million, which is more than 80 million. The extra quantity is relatively limited. Therefore, the value of the transaction is open to question.” Hu Haitong spread his hands and expressed helplessness.

"What is advanced civilization currency?" Fang Yuan was more concerned about this question.

"A substance called Zro, Zro is a transliteration, and the transliteration of the Chinese character is 'Zeluo'. We don't know what this substance is, so we can only transliterate it. The information about Zro has been submitted to the Academy of Military Sciences. Regarding this Our department only knows so much about this substance." Hu Haitong spread his hands again.

Regarding the information of this unknown substance, a department in charge of foreign affairs really has no way to know more.

Admiral Rhodes looked towards the Academy of Military Sciences and asked, "Has the report on this substance come out?"

"There is a preliminary report, but it doesn't answer what Zro is. According to the news from the Curvature Technology Laboratory yesterday, Professor Yang Yuping took over the analysis of this data. The news in the morning said that the prepared report can be produced today. "The representative of the Academy of Military Sciences gave an answer.

At this moment.

A communication intervened in the venue, and after being confirmed, an image of a person appeared on the big screen, which was indeed Yang Yuping.

However, the image that appeared on the screen was not a robot image, but a real person image.

Obviously, what was shown on the screen was Yang Yuping's previous video.

Fang Yuan knew why Yang Yuping didn't show the current robot appearance, because the way of carbon-based life soul energyization is controversial in terms of morality and human relations.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, confidentiality is required.

Yang Yuping began to make a report: "As for the substance Zro, our team already knows what it is. The complicated verification process is omitted. In words that everyone can understand, this is a higher-purity star-sourced aerosol .

"Of course, the real situation is not that simple.

"This Zro is in the state of an aerosol, which is so light that it can float in the air.

"Theoretically, it can be purified from the star source mine.

"but,

According to the information provided by the photosynthetic civilization, the Zro concentration of the star source mine we are currently mining has not reached the concentration that can be purified.

"To put it more simply, humans do not have the ability to mine and purify Zro now."

"Star source aerosol? Why can't it be purified? Is it because the technology is too difficult?" Admiral Rhodes asked.

"Technology is one aspect. On the other hand, the concentration of Zro in Xingyuan Mine is too low. In fact, we can't even detect Zro from Xingyuan Mine. All conclusions are analyzed from the data provided by photosynthetic civilization. "Yang Yuping spread his hands to express helplessness.

"What exactly is Zro? Dark matter?" Fang Yuan frowned and asked.

Dark matter is actually a general term for matter that cannot be observed.

Dark matter is actually not a kind of matter, it may be many kinds of matter, and its characteristic is that human beings cannot observe it by any means.

Once a certain kind of dark matter is observed by human beings through scientific and technological means, then this kind of matter has been extracted from the category of dark matter.

"Rather than dark matter, I prefer to call it materialized energy. It can be seen from the data that Zro can convert all its mass into energy, and the conversion ratio conforms to the mass-energy formula E=mc^2." Yang Yuping gave A very surprising answer.

All scientists know a scientific truth, when science comes to an end, mass equals energy.

In fact.

Without waiting for science to come to an end, human beings have already seen the universal law that mass is equal to energy.

That's right, it's antimatter.

The annihilation of antimatter fully complies with the rule that mass is equal to energy.

How much mass of antimatter there is, how much energy can be produced.

And the sum of energy produced is equal to the total mass of positive and negative matter.

Then, human beings have already mastered anti-matter technology, and also converted all mass into energy, so is Zro still important?

The answer is, of course it does.

Judging from the fact that Zro is a high-purity star-sourced aerosol, Zro should be a mild energy source.

The value of a mild energy source is countless times higher than that of a strong energy source.

Just do a little comparison.

The gap between nuclear fusion and controllable nuclear fusion is a world of difference.

However, controllable nuclear fusion cannot be called a mild energy source yet.

Gentle energy can even be held in people's hands. It is conceivable how big the value gap is between them.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that Zro has become the currency of advanced civilizations.

"In fact, advanced civilizations occupy so many stars, the first purpose is the energy of the stars, and the second purpose is to find Zro that can be mined. Therefore, Zro will become the hard currency of advanced civilizations, and we do not have the ability to mine these now. This kind of thing can't even be detected by detection." Yang Yuping's tone showed a trace of helplessness, but also implied infinite yearning.

The true meaning of science is to constantly explore the unsolved mysteries in the universe.
