Material Abyss Project

An hour has passed, two hours have passed... This individual of the Spinhaman civilization in a state of dementia did not move, and just stayed in his position quietly.

It was the first time for people to come into contact with this kind of strange fifth-level civilization. Although they were very curious, they didn't dare to ask more questions. They just pondered over the information they just got.

Zhang Yuan frowned, deep in thought.

"...Individuals of level five civilization, after modifying their philosophical thinking ability, can theoretically modify their thinking speed. This insect looks dull, but in fact it is not. Its thinking speed may far exceed that of humans. A thousand times ten thousand times, so that most of the facial expressions had to be omitted..."

"Yeah, when your thinking speed is so fast, why do you need facial expressions? The speed and tone of your speech are not important anymore."

Recalling the strong artificial intelligence state he experienced when he first came into contact with the Hicks civilization, Zhang Yuan was somewhat able to understand this situation.

In this large square, there are many transport spaceships coming and going, and there are also many aliens. It seems that 0.98 times the gravity of the earth is a gravity environment for the masses to adapt to, and many aliens can survive normally in this environment. That's why this bulk trading market will be placed in this place.

From the most common metallic iron element, to rare earth elements, to gold, platinum, and various conventional nanomaterials, everything is available. The basic unit of trading here is antimatter energy, or amoeba points.

Just like the stock exchange market, the price index of various commodities fluctuates around the value. If there is a sufficient level of speculation, speculation alone can make a certain profit.

Zhang Yuan obtained another piece of information, took a deep breath, and read it carefully.

The Dyson sphere is not only a place for trading, but also a place for scientific research.

First of all, the first large-scale scientific project is a project called "Material Abyss". It is a scientific project led by the sixth-level civilization "Amoeba Civilization" and "Tabby Civilization". It attempts to use the exhaustive method to Ways to explore the properties of all conventional materials, the current exploration progress is 50.7%...

There is a large list of members, including the Crimson Industrial Union at the forefront, the Hicks Civilization, and so on!

There are also some names that I have never seen before.

Zhang Yuan's pupils shrank slightly. The "Crimson Industrial Alliance" is the fifth-level civilization that destroyed the Green Star Civilization. It has a sharp ideology, but they can actually cooperate together...

This shows that the Amoeba faction does have extensive contacts and extraordinary abilities.

The most important thing is that the ambition of this "Material Abyss" project is really beyond human imagination. It attempts to explore the physical properties, chemical properties, biological properties, etc. of all conventional materials!

Everything!

If all elements were arranged in an exhaustive manner and allowed to form materials, including various proteins and other countless biological materials, the total number would be around 10^120.

So, how many have been explored by new human civilization?

It is about 10^70. If a large number of useless materials are excluded according to some algorithms, the progress that humans can achieve is 10^80.

The rest can only rely on time to slowly accumulate, or rely on the improvement of computing power and algorithms...

You know, 10^80 is not half of 10^120!

Among them, there is a difference of 40 orders of magnitude, not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction!

However, this so-called "Material Abyss" project has actually completed 50.7% of the process, which is absolutely remarkable and even shocking!

Think about it, almost half of the properties of materials have been explored, treating cancer, treating Alzheimer's, or rejuvenating people, how powerful is this?

"We want to join temporarily and obtain all the data. We need to pay... 1.1022 million amoeba points? Ahem..."

Zhang Yuan almost choked on his own saliva, "Is this a huge sum that only a level 5 or level 6 civilization can afford?"

Next door, Foreign Minister Yang Fan said: "However, we can submit materials that have not yet been explored in exchange for some of them."

"We can also use amoeba points to purchase some needed materials from the trading market. If we only buy one or two types, it won't cost any money."

"It could even be made on credit to make purchases and pay back by producing a lot of material."

After discussing for a while, everyone felt that the materials that human beings have already explored, in the face of the half-completed "Material Abyss" project, are at most just smashing into the air.

However, buying some new materials, especially various medicines, is a cheap and high-quality option.

The subject of materials will always be a laggard in engineering, and humankind's demand for it is unlimited. This demand is unlimited, it is unlimited in the true sense.

If materials can emerge that can withstand temperatures of 100 million degrees, and humans can develop controllable nuclear fusion technology in minutes, why would it take a hundred or two hundred years to develop?

If there were materials 100 million times stronger than steel, the space elevator could use a rigid structure. Why would it need to be so complicated?

As long as the material is strong enough, wouldn't it be easy to achieve miracles with great force?

However, the reality is that conventional materials have almost reached their limits, and it is extremely difficult to improve even one step further. This is a pity. A substance composed solely of chemical bonds or metallic bonds will never be 100 million times stronger than steel.

So, how is the Dyson sphere built? The answer: unconventional materials.

This information introduces information about the Dyson Sphere: The main material required for the entire Dyson Sphere is a substance called "Kadlinix".

Kadrinix is ​​not a conventional material, but a subatomic fluid material between positive matter and antimatter. Only the fifth-level civilization can mass-produce it.

It forms the framework of the Dyson sphere, which is equivalent to the existence of steel bars in a house. If we follow some current theories of new human civilization, its principle may be the so-called "strong interaction".

It is these super materials that prevent the entire rigid body structure of the Dyson sphere from collapsing directly under the action of gravity.

Of course, people are more interested in this kind of "unconventional material" that is still in a state of ignorance. Unfortunately, it is not something in the "Material Abyss" project, and there is no way to obtain it cheaply. If you really want to buy one, the price is astonishingly high, starting at five or even six figures.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan stomped hard on the floor. Under this layer of purple metal, there should be the so-called "Kadlinix". It's a pity that humans can't see what this thing looks like.
