Chapter 1396: The Third Energy Revolution

The third energy revolution.

"Judging from the stage of civilization development, the Palesean civilization is about to enter the third energy revolution. If this happens, it is very likely to be the end of the carbon-based alliance."

During a chat with Yang Yuping, the old professor's words aroused Fang Yuan's interest.

In fact, it is no secret that the Palesean civilization is about to enter the third energy revolution.

The development stage of a civilization is predictable to a certain extent.

Just like human beings, when they were still primary civilizations, they had already begun to speculate on the form of advanced civilizations.

Although there are many differences between the speculated advanced civilization and the actual advanced civilization, there is not much deviation in the general direction.

Therefore, since two thousand years ago, it has been rumored that the Palesean civilization is about to enter the third energy revolution.

However, this rumor has been circulating for more than two thousand years, and so far, there has been no substantial progress.

Regarding the third energy revolution, it was proposed by a scientist from the Palesian civilization.

The so-called energy revolution is a technological leap that subverts the existing energy system.

Just like when human beings conquered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, they completely subverted the energy system.

At that time, the oil and energy stock prices of White Eagle Kingdom fell directly below the horizon.

The second energy revolution is brought by the antimatter energy.

The third energy revolution, so far, has not been seen.

Because in the Palesi civilization, the most advanced warships also use anti-matter energy systems.

In other words, the energy technology of the Palesian civilization is still at the antimatter level.

If the third energy revolution is to be completed, a new kind of energy source needs to emerge, and the energy provided is hundreds of times more than the antimatter energy.

Judging from the energy conversion ratio of raw material quality, antimatter energy is more than two hundred times that of nuclear fusion.

Therefore, from this point of view, the third energy revolution needs a new kind of energy, which is hundreds of times higher than the energy provided by the antimatter energy.

Of course, so far, the Palesean civilization has not found this kind of energy source, or improved the energy efficiency by a hundred times through technology.

The figure of one hundred times is just a random example, because this kind of energy has not been found yet, so there is no accurate data to support this conclusion.

The research on the third energy revolution is only in the stage of theoretical research so far.

However, judging from the information obtained by the Carbon-Based Alliance, the Palesean civilization has begun to invest a lot of scientific resources in energy technology, looking for the "key" of the third energy revolution.

The technology of the Carbon-Based Alliance has not yet reached the energy bottleneck, so it has not yet begun to invest heavily in the third energy revolution.

"What does the professor think is the 'key' to the third energy revolution?"

Fang Yuan is very interested in this topic, and the scientific outlook established since childhood has actually restricted this topic:

"From the point of view of the mass-energy formula,

Antimatter energy is actually the limit of energy. The energy transformed by the antimatter reaction is the conversion of the whole mass into energy, and there is no drop of mass left. "

One hundred and twenty years ago, when Einstein wrote down the mass-energy formula e=mc^2, it seemed like a wall, delineating the limit of energy is antimatter.

However, no one can be sure whether the mass-energy formula will be broken one day, just like Newton's classical mechanics will one day degenerate.

"The Palesean civilization is also looking for this 'key', and the Carbon-based Alliance is also looking for it, but the Carbon-based Alliance does not have so much energy, and only a very few frontier scientists are researching it." Yang Yuping could not give an answer.

"Has there been any conclusions from the study of the Palesian civilization?" Fang Yuan was a little curious.

"From the current information, there are three routes for the third energy revolution, one is to find new energy sources that surpass antimatter energy, the other is to change the way of energy acquisition, and there is a religion that belongs to Palesi In the field of theology, they believe that divine energy will be the 'key' of the third energy revolution."

When Yang Yuping said this, he paused, looked at Fang Yuan with the eyes of a mouse, and said: "Among human beings, you are one of the very few people who have been exposed to divine energy, what do you think of this energy? Could it be the key to the third energy revolution?"

Fang Yuan frowned and thought.

Divine energy is indeed miraculous, it is a special existence beyond ordinary energy, but judging from the energy unit content, the divine energy is not particularly high.

In fact, most of the time, divine energy is not used to exert power.

Divinity energy is more like the energy endowed with "life". If life is the same, it has wonderful attributes.

Fang Yuan shook his head slowly, and said: "From the perspective of my contact with divine energy, the efficiency of this energy, if put into the reactor, will not gain more energy than antimatter.

"If divine energy is really the 'key' of the third energy revolution, then the way to open the door of this 'key' is definitely not a change in the order of magnitude of energy."

Yang Yuping recorded Fang Yuan's evaluation of divine energy.

This is the attitude that scientific research should have. The information obtained from a person who has personally encountered divine energy is the most intuitive information.

Yang Yuping went on to say: "If the divine energy is not the 'key' of the third energy revolution, then it should be the improvement of other energy efficiency, but the increase in efficiency from 30% to 100% is actually a three-fold increase, which cannot be achieved at all. The extent of the energy revolution.

"Moreover, it is more difficult to achieve 100% energy conversion than to carry out the third energy revolution."

Fang Yuan pondered and discussed: "Is there any other possibility?"

"Other than that, we can only conduct research in the direction of dark energy. At present, the three directions of the Palesian civilization are being researched at the same time. It is hard to say which direction has a breakthrough..."

Yang Yuping paused and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you have both divine energy and dark energy. If the 'key' of the third energy revolution is among these three, then you Three of them make up two of them."

Fang Yuan also grinned and said: "In other words, I have become the key to scientific progress. Human beings have not studied antimatter energy thoroughly, so they are starting to think about the third energy revolution?"

"It is impossible for human beings at this stage to complete the third energy revolution, but it does not prevent us from going in this direction. There is no conflict between studying antimatter energy and studying the third energy revolution." Yang Yuping replied.

"It's true, if the research progresses, maybe we can overtake on a curve." Fang Yuan said in a joking tone.

"Yes, maybe you can overtake on a curve." Yang Yuping repeated with a smile.
