The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 611 Experiment 39
Xiaoqi was the most excited when he got this report. The subject of matter-to-energy conversion he is currently studying must first complete the conversion between matter and matter, energy and energy.

The current energy-to-energy conversion process is too inefficient and consumes too much energy, and using this method, there is no way to make the energy highly concentrated.

The conversion between matter and energy has also been realized to a certain extent, such as the application of human beings to dark matter.

However, what Xiao Qi pursues is the replacement of energy by ordinary matter. Although the matter flow engine has completely changed the energy structure of mankind, it can only use dark matter and antimatter to complete the conversion of energy.

Moreover, the loss is also very large. At present, the improvement of the material flow engine by human beings is mainly to reduce the loss of this process as much as possible.

As for ordinary matter, it is nothing in front of the matter flow engine, but theoretically speaking, matter and energy can be converted without loss.

That is the dream that Xiaoqi has been chasing all along. As long as there is such a technology, the universe will be the energy pool of human beings, and human beings can use any matter and energy to transform them into what they need.

This goal is still far away from human beings. At present, Xiaoqi's main research is still the transformation between matter and matter, and the transformation between energy and energy.

The conversion between energies has actually been realized very early, such as converting solar energy into electrical energy, and then converting electrical energy into light energy or kinetic energy.

But this process consumes too much, and it is still far away from Xiaoqi's pursuit!

The escape process of "Curtain" gave Xiaoqi hope.

Heat can be regarded as a kind of energy, such as the heat in the human body, which maintains the basic operation of the human body.

A little more heat, such as a steam engine, can use steam to provide power and convert heat energy into kinetic energy.

No matter how high the heat is, such as the surface of a star, any natural metal substance will be melted.

But what can ten degrees Celsius of heat do?Even the operating temperature of the human body is about 36 degrees Celsius, and it is even more impossible to drive a steam engine at ten degrees Celsius.

However, the captured "curtain" had accumulated a heat of [-] degrees Celsius for five days, and then made two of its cloth-like tentacles have a hot temperature, and used the high temperature to break through the outer wall of the small laboratory.

It's incredible!

How can the heat accumulate to make its shell glow like hot steel?It is also the structure of the flesh, how did it accumulate these temperatures?How can it stand such high temperature?

Xiaoqi feels that as long as the research understands how the "curtain" does this, the problem of lossless transformation between energies can be solved to a large extent.

Soon, the escaped "curtain" began to be surrounded by armed robots in the mothership, but "curtain" showed extraordinary wisdom, dexterously evading, and occasionally tried to fight back.

Fortunately, the mothership is a fully intelligent ship. If there were human crew members, the escape process of the "curtain" should have caused casualties.

In the end, the "curtain" was caught, and the spots on its body began to flicker again, and the surrounding robots even received a messy electronic signal.

Is this the "curtain" trying to communicate with the robot?
But this electronic signal is too messy to be a smart signal at all.

But what surprised biologists was why it suddenly had the ability to emit electronic signals?
After bringing the "curtain" back to the laboratory, it was immediately "frozen" at a low temperature of more than minus 50 degrees Celsius to prevent it from "jailbreaking" again.

And the tentacles that were cut off before have already completed the initial research.

Jiang Yu and Xiao Qi both wanted a research report.

According to the research report, the shell of the "curtain" is a very dense structure, which can actually isolate the harsh space environment.

In the cold environment, the outer shell becomes very hard, thereby retaining the temperature inside the body.

In a warm environment, the outer shell becomes soft again, allowing the body's internal structure to absorb heat.

The thin wires inside the "curtain" are the key to its survival in space. When the temperature is low, these thin wires will turn into crystals, storing energy and heat.

When the temperature is high, these thin threads become liquid again, which can speed up the "curtain" action.

The most amazing thing is that the researchers discovered that the "curtain" can control its own metabolism, and it can maintain a state of no metabolism for a long time in space.

And in a suitable environment, with food and water, it will metabolize.

Even for metabolism, the energy it consumes is negligible compared to that of humans, because its internal cell structure is very special.

Their outer walls are very similar to the outer walls of plant cells, thick and angular, and a lot of energy is stored inside, as long as they split out, they don't need any energy supply until the cells die.

The time period for dividing cells is when there is food and when living conditions permit.

Xiaoqi is most interested in how to store and accumulate heat, which was not mentioned in the report.

Some experts speculate that it should be the product of the joint action of the hard shell and the internal thin wire structure, because a large amount of metal substances are found in its shell, and those thin wires can also act as "organs" that store heat.

Jiang Yu finished reading the information, and said to Xiao Qi in the channel: "This reminds me of an incident a long time ago.

"The Trisolarans once had an experimental subject named 39, and I remember that he also had a thick shell, which could be exposed to the cosmic environment for a short period of time.

"Back then, the Trisolarans really mistreated people. They actually made the genes of the second-generation life forms in the human body dominant!"

That was a long time ago. If he hadn't seen the information about the shell of the "curtain", he would have forgotten it.

Xiao Qi was thoughtful, and just about to express his opinion, Song Xingrui, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the Second Corps, suddenly reported: "Everyone who faces the wall, professors, we have made new discoveries on the ancient battlefield!"

A biologist excitedly asked, "Have you discovered a group of second-era life forms?"

"No, we found a dwarf planet!"

"What kind of important discovery is a dwarf planet, isn't there a lot in the universe?"

Jiang Yu and Xiao Qi immediately realized that something was wrong. The reconnaissance team had reported earlier that there was nothing left in the ancient battlefield, and a dwarf planet suddenly appeared. Its importance is self-evident.

Jiang Yu simply silenced the biologist in the comments: "Tell me about the specific situation."

"Yes!" Song Xingrui said: "Just a few minutes ago, a dwarf planet suddenly appeared next to the mothership holding the 'curtain'.

"At first we thought it was the enemy's armed ship, but the other party did not attack the mothership."

Song Xingrui paused when he said this, and looked at the screen on one side: "The mothership just received a smart signal from a dwarf planet, um, please wait a moment..."

A few seconds later, he said again: "The deciphering has been completed, this is an invitation."
