Xia Lin didn't figure it out until eating. He could only confirm that the reactor seemed to be completely burnt out. The reason was that the arc discharge was irregular and the purity of the origin stone was not uniform, so it was easy to generate some excessive arcs.

When these errors accumulate, the output part of the inner chamber melts. This problem can be improved by using some higher strength materials, but if this error continues to accumulate, it will fall into a dilemma with more water and more surface, and finally Just let it run for a little longer.

"Xia Lin, what are you thinking?" Yelena had already finished eating, and saw that there was still half a bowl of rice in his bowl, and she looked different from usual, so she asked casually, "Can you tell me?"

"Hmm..." Xia Lin was still in deep thought, before she spoke after a while, "Do you know the origin stone's motive?"

"Well, I've seen it." There are also mines. If not, how to lift the ore and crush it into ore powder.

"So why did he stop suddenly and burn out?"

"I don't know." Yelena said that she didn't know why, she had only seen this kind of machine before, and she wasn't the operator, but...

"Xia Lin, didn't you operate it? I see you have been staring at it in a daze"

"Ah? Operation?" Xia Lin thought for a while. There are only two handles and one turning handle on the whole machine. How else to operate it? Do you keep turning the handle manually?But that handle is just to charge the capacitor and let the fuel react.

"Origin stone skills!" Yelena looked confused. People on Terra know it. In a broad sense, origin stone skills refer to the ability to produce certain effects on source stone products and a certain degree of processing source stones. It belongs to the basic skills of Terra people. One of the abilities, from birth.

In a narrow sense, origin stone skills refer to abilities that can be displayed with the aid of specific tools or without the aid of tools. The former is like punching people, while the latter refers to serious fighting martial arts, which is roughly like this difference.

Most people can possess the former kind of Originium skill, while the latter requires age and physical fitness, which is the same as learning martial arts, while Yelena awakened this kind of Originium skill when she escaped from the mine.

But no matter which one it is, it can only have a minimal impact on the origin stone and the environment without the staff and tools. The infected person may be because the origin stone is highly integrated with the nerves and body cells, so to a certain extent Auxiliary staff and tools can be omitted.

"Tell me about your origin stone skill? Some kind of technology?" Xia Lin thought for a while, then put down her chopsticks and looked at Yelena. What is it?"

"It's just...a feeling that's hard to describe, it's like..." Yelena reached out her finger and touched the water glass, a layer of hoarfrost spread along the inner wall in an instant, and a small amount of water floated in the water glass. cubes of ice.

"Huh? You do it again!" As a well-informed member of the interstellar society, Xia Lin was not overly surprised. The developed technology and magic are undoubtedly, even if the thing in front of him looks like a kind of magic.

He connected to the life monitor on Yelena's wrist, then turned on the scanner and aimed it, "Okay, do it again."

"Hmm..." "What's wrong?" Yelena looked at Xia Lin who had a dignified expression, who was silent for a while, "Try to use this ability as little as possible in the future, once you don't use it, your body will be damaged once." .”

The system just now showed that a small group of Boai condensate particles [Bose-Einstein Condensation] was formed on the girl's fingertips, and the blood flow rate of the fingers increased by 30%, and the origin stone particles decreased by more than 75%. The origin stones in the body cells are quickly separated out.

Due to the lack of higher-precision medical analysis equipment, it is temporarily impossible to determine whether this Boai condensate is made of Originium, and it is also unknown how this biochemical or physical reaction is completed.

After Xia Lin's observation and experiments, the biological cells of Terra found that the biggest difference between them and human somatic cells was the lack of a parasite—mitochondria. At first he thought it was Yelena's own problem, but after examining the biological cells such as Julu Later, the problem was also found.

Plants are the most normal. They have chloroplasts, which are the same as normal plants. However, animal cells do not have the structure of mitochondria, and it is the source stone particles that act as mitochondria to synthesize and provide energy.

The origin stone particles will naturally combine with the body cells, and release ATP-like substances, allowing the cells to obtain energy and power for life activities, and also cause the physical fitness of Terra people to be far stronger than normal humans. Perhaps this origin stone skill It is also based on this characteristic.

Therefore, the life on this planet probably has the origin stone since the oldest single-cell era, and regards the origin stone as a part of itself, replacing the status of the mitochondria that coexist with cells in the evolution of life on earth.

The organelle that replaces the mitochondria is an organ that manufactures biological compounds that combine with origin stones to obtain ATP-like substances. This is why Terran people still need to eat, instead of sleeping in the open.

"However, if there are no mitochondria, theoretically they don't need oxygen...No, the synthesis process of that substance contains oxidation, so it still needs to breathe, but it doesn't produce more free radical oxygen, which is illustrate....."

According to Xia Lin's knowledge reserve, this shows that the life span of Terra people is much longer than that of humans, and the wear and tear of telomeres is very small.

However, considering their over-modified genetic information, it may also be to protect their genetic information, thereby eliminating things like mitochondria so that they can survive on this planet.

The use of origin stone technology itself is to use the energy material that maintains the activity of its own cells to react into other things, so Xia Lin asked Yelena not to use this kind of thing as much as possible.

"Are there any other special places? As far as you are concerned, tell me in detail."

"It's just going to be a lot of effort inside the house, okay?"

"Very strenuous in the room?" Xia Lin looked at the innocent white rabbit, and then his expression became a little more serious.

When the forest was attacked before, those flames thought they were incendiary bombs. Was it the real fireball technique?One of the biggest differences between the outside and the inside of the house is that there are a lot of origin stone particles suspended outside.

"Come with me." Xia Lin dragged Yelena to a corner of the garage, and then turned off the filter in the garage. Gradually, the air began to be filled with Origin Stone particles.

"Are you struggling now?"

"It doesn't take much effort." The white rabbit easily produced a large piece of hoarfrost.

According to the thermal energy monitoring of the scanner, the ball of love condensate created an instantaneous absolute zero zone with a diameter of about 1.1mm, and then the low temperature spread to the surroundings, and the heat generated by the creation of this condensate made her body surface dissipate heat. The amplitude increased by about 18%.

"The diffusion speed of the low-temperature area is about 0.4 meters per second, and the temperature is minus 15 degrees. That is to say, she has just created a near-absolute freezing zone that cools the air by about 40 degrees in a few seconds. It's just that his own body temperature has risen slightly, if the cooling area is counted as the affected area... no, there is hoarfrost on the ground, which means that water vapor has also condensed..." Xia Lin thought about it.

Coupled with the phenomenon of strenuous effort mentioned earlier, this means that this is not simply done by the white rabbit itself.

"Yelena, do it again"

"Okay" Even though she didn't know why Xia Lin was interested in her Originium skills, Yelena still used this ability again.

"Can you use it with the greatest strength?"

"This...will hurt you"

"Oh, then wait..." A few minutes later, Xia Lin came back wearing a full set of protective clothing, and those things in the garage that were vulnerable to freezing and damage from low temperature were moved to the next door.

"Okay, come on as much as you want!" "Okay." Yelena stretched out her hand, and then the wristband on her wrist made a piercing whistling sound, and white frost filled the entire garage space within ten seconds.

After an hour, "It's ok." Xia Lin clicked on the panel, and the device fixed on the girl's hand slowly retracted. Yelena rolled over and got off the bed a little weakly, "Are you ok?"

"Well, it seems to be back to normal now, but you are really amazing"

Within 15 seconds, an area with a diameter of about 1.5 meters and close to minus 150 degrees was formed around her body. A large number of absolute zero-degree Boai condensates flew out, forming clusters of flying frost and ice crystals. unscientific.

Of course, it looks unscientific on the surface, but Xia Lin believes that its core must also be scientific, at least the abnormal increase of Origin Stone particles in the air is the reason.

"That is to say, if it is an energy-absorbing reaction like refrigeration, the origin stone particles will increase, no, it should be said that the diameter of the origin stone particles will increase, and then crack, um, the energy and nitrogen and other elements in the air will be drawn away Have you synthesized new source stone impurities?"

"So Yelena, can you turn cooling into heating?"

"No." Personal origin stone skills are a bit severely restricted. Although she mainly reacts in this way, she can also use the corresponding wand to release flames or other things, just like she can use origin stone skills to operate the engine.

But in the absence of tools and wands, she can only cause this phenomenon, and Xia Lin thinks that this is unlikely to be caused by chemical reasons, so it may be "translated" with brain waves or nerve signals through the source stone Some kind of sympathy afterwards.

Moreover, this kind of resonance triggering should theoretically be replaced by machinery. Facing such strange things, Xia Lin feels that he does not have much advantage in research. Not quite yet.

"So, how does Originium technology control the engine? Well, it shouldn't be to control the reaction rate?"

"Elena, can you operate an engine?"

"I haven't tried it." The white rabbit shook his head, indicating that he had never been in contact with this thing.

"Then let's try it~" I have scanned the main structure of the Originium engine before, and found that it is basically cast iron, that is, the reactor and the coil are more precise, but Xia Lin does not need to copy the entire engine structure, just need to manufacture it. A reactor and a coil will suffice.

"Buzzing~" The equipment made by the Star Alliance Seiko with only one reactor and auxiliary coil works very normally on the bracket. Yelena put her hands on the machine a little rusty at first, but after a while she began to copy her hands on the machine. In his pocket, his expression became much more relaxed.

"The reaction of the origin stone is very stable, no, it should be said that when it starts to generate an unstable high-voltage arc, Yelena will do a little operation to suppress it, it feels like..."

It’s like human beings stepping on the accelerator when driving. Press it a little when you need a lot of horsepower, and lift it a little when you don’t need it. You can control the output power of this thing and avoid burning the inner chamber of the car too quickly.

And if this is the case, then the so-called etched ammunition such as source stone ammunition and the guns in the mouths of the locals may have a similar structure. The etched bomb may be a specially processed source stone crystal used as a propellant. For the original origin stone crystal propellant, its outbreak is easier to control.

Ordinary ammunition uses crushed crystal powder or a small piece of impure Originium crystal as propellant, so only using Originium techniques can the propellant release energy and push the ammunition forward.

Since the energy released by the origin stone is likely to be thermal energy instead of evaporating by itself, there will be no smoke from the muzzle of the gun, nor will there be a cloud of origin stone particles that pollutes itself... Xia Lin thought of this thing Er'er's possible launch principle immediately left a drop of cold sweat on his head.

"The ammunition is pushed out purely by the thermal expansion of the air generated by the heat of the origin stone. This can have the power of a hammer."

Because the origin stone will not evaporate into gas, it will not produce thousands of times the volume of gas like gunpowder. In other words, the boring pressure of the origin stone gun is probably pitifully low.

"No wonder Ivan and the others said that the power of that kind of gun is similar to that of a bow and crossbow. Of course it is similar." And the etched ammunition is not more powerful than the gun. According to Xia Lin's understanding, it may be... this kind of gun. The ammunition has a delayed burst or controlled detonation from a distance through a process called etching.

It is equivalent to the penetrating power and range of the BB bomb, but because the bullet will produce a high-explosive effect, the actual lethality can be exploded. It just needs to process an etched source stone. In Xia Lin's understanding, it is— - You need to process a smart fuze controlled by brain waves - ah, it's not expensive to be damned.

And with this kind of thermal expansion, the shape of the blunderbuss may be similar, but the structure may be far worse. It may be an air gun, which is continuously filled with gas from the gas cylinder to heat the source stone into a high-temperature expansion gas, and has continuous shooting ability. It is also pitifully low, and can only be used for short-point shooting or single-point shooting.

If you want to shoot continuously, you either need additional accessories, or you need some additional source stone skills like Yelena's refrigeration to improve this thermal efficiency or accelerate heat dissipation to avoid melting the barrel.

The next step is to spend time testing what Yelena's origin stone skill is for controlling the reactor. Although the locals generally classify it as origin stone skill, Xia Lin thinks it is a completely different principle and working method.

If you can figure it out, whether it's brainwave or other methods, you can create an Originium Engine that doesn't require an operator, and the adjustable response rate is also a great advantage.

In the next month or so, it turned out that it was very difficult to achieve this. The medicine of the Terra people was not completely stretched. They also thought of brain waves and other directions, and actively carried out many experiments. .

Among them are humane volunteers, inhuman poor people, and infected people who are simply used in batches in these cruel experiments.

Xia Lin's progress in "simulating the origin stone skills of Terra people" is 0, but the progress in manufacturing the origin stone engine is advancing by leaps and bounds. After he found that this road is almost impracticable and too difficult, he can only use Star Alliance Let's try the human way of thinking.

To put it simply, since it is impossible to simulate the Originium technology to control the Originium reaction, then this control is not used, and other methods are used to solve the problem, such as purifying the purity of the Originium, and controlling the fuel injection rate curve to complete it.

Chapter 26 This thing must be Waaagh

After thinking about the research and development process for a while, Xia Lin took the source stone as a kind of solid powder fuel, and the conventional engine of the star alliance's spacecraft used metal salt particles, which would be comparable to the plasma in the core of the sun. Blowing into it turns these metal-salt ion materials into a slightly cooler, but larger and more massive plasma.

Finally, under the constraint of the electromagnetic cavity, let them expand and exhaust outward at a speed of more than 6000 kilometers per second, so as to obtain the ability to change orbits with high acceleration in a short time.

For the spaceships of the Star Alliance, most of the long-distance journeys can be completed by the jump engine. It does not need long-distance acceleration and higher terminal speed. What it needs is the flexibility to quickly change direction and move in a short distance. skill.

The similar arc jet engine Xia Lin has been repaired a lot. It can be said that the arc rocket engine used by the home shuttle to escape from the atmosphere can be touched for you with his eyes closed. Of course, the materials required are only It's another matter.

This Originium engine, which has already entered the stage of part mold opening, adopts the same method as this one, through an external small motor and the electric arc of the starting battery, the mixed trigger chemical fuel is fully aerosolized, and after they are separated, no The required exhaust gas is circulated and exhausted along the heat pipe, and the useful particles that trigger the source stone will bombard the source stone block in the reaction chamber at a very high speed.

Let the source stone start to react, and the source stone will continue to react and peel off more particles, these particles will be confined in this reactor, further increasing the reaction efficiency.

A series of precise source stone reaction control processes are completed by controlling the amount of reaction booster injected, and finally the high-temperature gas rich in discarded source stone particles is discharged into the top turbine to drive the turbine motor to do work, further improving power generation efficiency .

Moreover, Xia Lin noticed that the source stone seemed to have some kind of recharging phenomenon, that is, after its energy was exhausted and turned into a blue-gray opaque crystal, it would slowly return to the previous charging state. In a sense, the origin stone minerals brought about by natural disasters are probably the product of the deposition of origin stone particles that enter the empty state after releasing the stored energy.

The question of where the energy of the origin stone's repeated recharging comes from is more serious. He feels that he may have found the real root cause of the unstoppable and inevitable natural disasters in this world-its energy source. for ambient heat.

The field effect formed by the origin stone has a hindering effect on all particles, that is to say, it absorbs the kinetic energy of the particles, and the reaction is a crazy drop in regional heat on a macro level.When the source stone field effect completes this process, it will produce complex electric and magnetic field effects - thunderstorms, blizzards, volcanic eruptions, magma torrents, meteorite-like source rocks falling...

Imagine that the source stones that have exhausted their energy are precipitated, or go deep into the ground, the mantle, and start to absorb heat, and what will happen after the fluid balance is disrupted. The direct manifestations are earthquakes, ground fissures, volcanic eruptions, and even due to the rapid fluidity of the mantle. After descending and forming a barrier, the accumulated potential energy tears the earth's crust, allowing the lava underneath to erupt.

Natural disasters bring origin stones, which can participate in life activities and metabolism, create natural disasters, and eventually become the unique material and energy cycle of this planet, but Xia Lin still has doubts, that is, if this is the case, the plants of Terra It's just too normal.

Therefore, the source stone is still full of mysteries for him. If he later finds that there are almost no source stones in the ocean, and the ocean race calls it "the original sin of terrestrial species", he will probably be even more confused.

However, for Xia Lin who was just planning to design an origin stone engine to pump water to generate electricity, these confusions were quickly suppressed. Due to the characteristics of the origin stone's ability to absorb heat from the environment, he designed a set of complex heat generators. The exchange system allows the source stone waste gas and high-temperature waste gas to directly exchange heat with each other, and then pass this part of the source stone particles that have absorbed the heat energy and completed the charge back.

In addition to the rapid consumption of diol compounds in the whole system - it is the main reactant - other consumption is minimal, the role of industrial ketone compounds is stabilizer, diol and a blue iron group mineral powder is the real booster.

Finally, the waste that was basically cooled and turned back into a viscous liquid mixed with the waste particles of Originium that were inevitably produced after several cycles, turned into a kind of black-gray mucus, which was discharged into the waste water bucket as industrial waste water.

And such a complex structure makes this new Originium engine extremely tall, about 4 meters high and a cylinder with a diameter of 2.5 meters. Most of the volume is given to heat exchangers and waste disposal. The equipment, and part of it is for the voltage stabilization equipment, after all, the direct discharge of the source stone is very unstable.

According to Xia Lin's calculations on paper, after a piece of the highest-purity cut origin stone fuel is inserted, it can be used for power generation for about 2 years, because part of the waste heat can be recovered through the heat exchange tube, and the power generation efficiency of the entire system can be improved. Quite high, it can almost be regarded as draining the bone marrow.

According to the equipment that Xia Lin can manufacture with the materials that Xia Lin currently has, it is about 1/8 of the fusion reactor, with a limit power of 22-25 megawatts. However, for safety reasons, the rated power set by Xia Lin is 15 megawatts. watt.

From this, he also understood how the power source of the local people's mobile city came from. The energy level of this thing is really high. According to this data, as long as there are a few such origin stone motives, it can pull a large number of marks. Sim's kind of mobile platform drives trackless trains across snowy fields.

If there are better materials and manpower, we are talking about technicians who have received Star Alliance education and at least graduated from high school. He will drive a four- to five-story-high arc engine-the source stone version of a small spaceship, let alone pull it. The mobile town runs on the ground, and he thinks it can fly in the sky.
