Chapter 840 The Roaring Sea (Part 2)
The science team of Tidal Civilization consists of six teams, each with thousands of members.
Five of the teams are daily practical technology research teams, and they are teams that the Tranquility Bay headquarters is keen on allocating resources to inject.
Because the technologies developed by these teams are basically practical technologies that can be applied in a short time.
However, more than 80% of the teams that successive chief scientists belong to are often born in another team.
Theoretical basic research team.
soon.
The Tranquility Bay headquarters will invest an unprecedented amount of resources to support the theoretical basic research team's sea roar technology, which has been known to all members of the scientific team.
Suddenly.
The Tide Elves of these unknown theoretical basic research teams briefly expressed disbelief, and then were summoned by the chief scientist to begin intensive experimental planning.
As an advanced civilization that has developed curvature space-time technology.
Every scientific and technological breakthrough in the current stage of tidal civilization will never appear in a small workshop-like micro laboratory like those of lower civilizations, and the results can be obtained by accidental inspiration.
With a complete scientific theoretical system, Tidal Civilization, as a mature society, wants to explore higher achievements in the technological tree. It must subvert basic theories through ultra-large-scale systematic experiments and carry out in-depth research into the field of laws. explore.
The Sea Roar Project is a technical theory mentioned by a certain chief scientist of Tidal Civilization more than three hundred years ago.
Its principle is simple.
It only needs to use some kind of device to decompose the most common water atoms to obtain hydrogen and oxygen, and then use the energy exploded from the combination of hydrogen and oxygen to provide this device with a greater degree of decomposition.
In this way, just by repeating this, you can generate unimaginable subversive energy!
The theory is simple though.
But the key to completing the theory of this technology is how to ensure that the explosive energy generated after combining hydrogen and oxygen is greater than the energy required to obtain hydrogen and oxygen after decomposing water.
The opposition has also mentioned it before.
If we really had this technology, wouldn't it only take one time to detonate the entire ocean?
This is simply impossible.
In the process of three hundred years of continuous theoretical research, not only the members of the scientific group, but also the successive chief scientists themselves seemed to have fallen into a strange circle. They neither knew how to refute the opposition, but also firmly believed that this theory was The future development path of tidal civilization.
Tidal Civilization has had four consecutive chief scientists insist on the Sea Roaring Project.
Since the Sea Roar Project can fascinate the best scientists of tidal civilization so much, it must be said that it seems to have some mysterious magic power, and it also promotes the evolution of this magical civilization that was only born in a small pool in a volcanic crater. , we have to proceed in this direction.
soon.
A basic theory research team composed of about three hundred Tide Elves, under the command of the chief scientist, began a unified division of labor, converting the theories in the Sea Roar Project that had only remained on paper to deducing the resources required for digital experiments. .
Yes.
There are only three hundred tide elves left in the basic theory research team.
Compared with other scientific research groups with thousands of people, it is really pitiful.
They bear far less subsidies than other members of the research team, and have been persisting silently. There is only one reason, that is, they love their research too much, and they firmly believe that their persistence is meaningful. This is the tidal civilization. The right direction for the development of the technology tree.
Now, their persistence has finally paid off!
One month later.
The original basic theoretical research team of three hundred Tide Elves has expanded to a thousand people, and is still recruiting in an organized and planned way.
Six months later.
The Sea Roar Project began its first theoretical experiment.
They made a hydrogen and oxygen separator, and in nearly half a year, they completely decomposed the hydrogen and oxygen in one liter of water, and completed a test explosion under the full attention of the Tranquility Bay headquarters.
boom!
A huge explosion occurred in the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen.
The experiment went well. Although the explosion result was not surprising, it was only a preliminary theoretical experiment to prove the correctness of the theory of obtaining hydrogen and oxygen by splitting water.
And this is just the explosion of a liter of water decomposing.
From the perspective of Tranquility Bay Headquarters, the sea water is endless, and the prospects of this project are limitless!
then.
Tranquility Bay Headquarters began to formally inject capital on a large scale, injecting more resources needed for experiments into the Basic Theory Research Group. Over the past hundreds of years, the Basic Theory Research Group has forgotten the last time they received such treatment. Now they can enjoy it as much as they like. The theoretical designs are put into experiments, and even the resources are sufficient so that they can repeat the experiments two, two or three times at a time until the data is perfect!
But there is one thing that has become extremely precious to this basic theory research team in Tranquility Bay.
It’s also the least valuable thing they ever had… time.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Hydrogen and oxygen experiments in thunderstorms have almost become the norm in Tranquility Bay.
Every once in a while, violent explosions will be heard in the shallow sea. Nearly 30% of the factories in Tranquility Bay and 15% of the productivity are served by this research group.
“Whether it is the hydrogen-oxygen separation device or the secondary energy collection to power the hydrogen-oxygen separator, the preliminary design has been completed, but the problem is that the power of these two devices is far from meeting our requirements. "
A tide elf reported to the chief scientist.
Since this time.
Every hydrogen-oxygen explosion experiment is completed after several months of decomposing a certain amount of water.
But the power required for sea roaring will be millions or tens of millions of times the decomposition speed!
It needs to decompose a large number of water atoms into pure hydrogen oxygen in an extremely short period of time. This power needs to be increased millions or tens of millions of times to meet the minimum requirements of the theoretical Sea Roar Project.
besides.
The Sea Roar Project also requires the design of an energy collection device, so that it can withstand the energy released instantly after the explosion in such a short period of time, and absorb the energy for a second time and then decompose it and supply it to the water to form a cycle until Increase the explosive energy value beyond the upper limit of the energy absorbing device.
"Um."
The chief scientist, Tide Elf, certainly knows the difficulties of the experiment.
It just glanced at the data for a moment and then said: "I know."
"Chief, the veterans at the headquarters actually proposed using resources to promote technological progress. They are giving a lecture tour in Tranquility Bay. They also said that they have provided us with a saturated resource supply and will definitely use the Shanghai Roaring Plan before the construction of Sea Beast III is completed. "
With a look of anger, it continued: "For more than three hundred years, the Sea Roar Project has killed four chief scientists. Now it has just invested less than a year of resources, and they are still advocating this, thinking that through a short period of time Can we achieve a breakthrough in a short time by investing saturated resources within a short period of time? What do they think of us!"
Relatively speaking, after experiencing previous arguments with the elders of Tranquility Bay Headquarters, the chief scientist behaved much calmer.
It said faintly: "But we have finally waited for the opportunity, and finally have the opportunity to realize our own value, instead of waiting to die in obscurity like the members of the previous generations of science groups, right?"
"I hate this kind of oppression, this kind of inability to be independent, and I hate this kind of inability to control things when I call them, and throw them away after use."
The young tide elf kept stirring its delicate skin, venting its anger through the ripples.
"Obviously we are the masters who promote the progress of the times, and we are obviously able to bring a better future to the tidal civilization, but because of the rule of those short-sighted headquarters elders, our precious time is wasted here..."
"enough!"
The chief scientist scolded.
It looked at the tide elf who had once been qualified to take over its position in its heart.
It has never thought about it this way, but after experiencing the chaos of internal fighting between the birther faction and the hawk faction, it really can't bear to see new chaos in the new tide civilization.
And it is different from the inner circle of demands of the pronatalists.
What the scientific group wants is to change the social system and concentrate all the resources of civilization on itself.
For the elder rulers at Tranquility Bay Headquarters, this is an enemy on the opposite side, something they cannot tolerate externally.
The consequence of the failure of the revolution will be that the status of all Tidal Elf Science Groups will fall to the bottom, and the development of Tidal Civilization will stagnate or even regress, which is not impossible!
It dare not take such a risk.
"Why……"
A disappointed sigh.
The tide elf who was responsible for presenting the experimental data report left in pain.
In its heart, this civilization, dragged down by its backward system, is no longer able to adapt to the civilizational progress of the new era.
It is like a huge but dilapidated sailing ship, which may be submerged by the waves of the deeper ocean at any time.
If this civilization cannot bear the temporary sacrifice, the result will be that the entire giant ship is submerged.
It hopes that the chief scientist, who once had the supreme status in its heart, can carry this banner, because it believes that with the wisdom of the other party, he will be able to clearly see the pros and cons. The huge resources currently controlled by the scientific research group are They have the best chance to get closer to their dreams!
But it was disappointed.
The other person is old and no longer has the great ambitions of his youth.
It seems to have regarded the various plans that the two people had discussed as a betrayal, thinking that it was a real betrayal of the trust of the Tranquility Bay headquarters.
"Didn't we once say that everything we do is responsible for the entire civilization? It was you who proposed it in the first place..."
The Tide Elf left in despair, murmuring in pain.
No one can listen to it anymore and talk with it about the great dream of leading tidal civilization society and scientific and technological changes.
The teacher who once inspired him to grow up is now just an old man and is no longer the spiritual leader of all the members of the scientific research team back then.
"What Tidal Civilization lacks is not technical research potential, but improvement in social systems. You told me thousands of times that only by changing this backward social system and making the scientific research group the center of power will no longer Only when we are constrained by resources can our civilization have hope..."
