Homo sapiens.

Wu Dongling, the team leader of the maintenance team, looked at the status of each system that had just been fed back, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

Dr. Uri is also very concerned about the situation of the equipment: "Wu, how is the situation?"

Wu Dongling replied with a wry smile: "Heat accumulation is only a small problem. Using the gold-based thermoelectric system, it can be solved within a few hours of suction, but the damage to the vacuum pipeline during the particle collision is very serious, and the repair time will take at least a week. .”

Hearing the maintenance time, Dr. Yuri breathed a sigh of relief: "One week? It doesn't matter, just one week, anyway, we need to study the data generated by this collision experiment now."

"I will do my best to repair and try to return to normal sooner."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"Doctor is too polite, it's our job."

In fact, before this collision experiment, the evaluation team predicted possible problems.

After all, there are tens of billions of collisions per second, and the energy carried by protons is very high, so heat accumulation is definitely unavoidable.

And the vacuum pipe is knocked out of atomic-level holes by various particles, which is also expected.

Especially those miniature black holes, although they evaporated in an instant, some of the miniature black holes close to the tube wall still caused some atoms to be torn out in an instant.

At this moment, a staff member in charge of maintenance hurriedly appeared in front of Wu Dongling: "Team leader, I found something."

"What did you find?"

"Look at this."

Wu Dongling looked at the test report, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "There are a lot of heavy elements."

This large amount is actually not large. According to the magnetic field detection data, 83 gold atoms and 128 million rhodium elements appeared in the vacuum tube after the collision experiment.

You must know that this collision experiment lasted for 30 minutes, with an average of tens of billions of collisions per second, and so many heavy elements were born.

For this experiment, this number is actually quite a lot.

Dr. Yuri not far away also received this test report.

Another researcher seems to know the situation: "Is this the technical principle of the elemental manufacturing technology of the omnic civilization?"

"Well, it's the element manufacturing technology, but ours is at the laboratory level and has not yet reached the industrial mass production level." Dr. Yuri also knows this technology.

He didn't know much about the technical situation of the omnic civilization before, but he took advantage of the more than three months during the construction of the Mars star ring to supplement the relevant technical and physical knowledge about the omnic civilization.

Among them is elemental manufacturing technology.

This technology uses proton colliding equipment, adopts specific magnetic and electric fields, and then generates a large number of miniature black holes, and injects other light elements, and uses the fleeting miniature black holes and light elements to produce heavy elements.

The omnic civilization has realized the artificial synthesis of heavy elements after the iron element, and it can be mass-produced on a large scale.

The reason why this technology was developed is very simple, because the distribution of elements in the universe is extremely uneven, and the total amount of each element in the universe decreases from light to heavy.

The content of hydrogen in the universe exceeds half of the total amount of matter in the universe, and helium accounts for about a quarter.

The top 10 light elements account for almost 99% of the universe's bright matter.

In this way, many civilizations will face a problem in the process of development, that is, the lack of heavy elements.

If it is an element before iron, it can also be manufactured through controllable nuclear fusion, because controllable nuclear fusion can nuclear fusion to the stage of iron element.

But the elements after iron will only be produced after a supernova explosion or the death of a massive star.

Heavy elements such as gold are also rare metals in the universe, which is determined by the physical rules of the universe.

The gold mine that Homo sapiens discovered underground in Antarctica before is an almost inexhaustible resource according to the standards of a zero-level civilization.

But after entering the first level of civilization, the gold mine can only be mined for about 200 years at most. This is because the company saves money and recycles part of the gold in the waste.

Currently Homo Sapiens needs to use 5000-7000 tons of gold every month.

Fortunately, Venus and Mercury are also relatively rich in gold elements, and several asteroids rich in heavy elements have been discovered in the asteroid belt.

Different stages of civilization have different requirements for resources.

Before humans walked out of the earth, thousands of tons of gold were enough for related industries. However, in the age of the universe, this amount of gold is really not enough.

The omnic civilization also encountered the problem of lack of heavy element resources at the beginning, and finally developed the heavy element synthesis technology.

Although this technology consumes a huge amount of energy, some rare elements can be obtained. The pros and cons of it depend on the importance of demand.

If a certain technology is very important, but this element is very rare, then the element creation technology is naturally valuable.

For example, the gold-based thermoelectric materials widely used by Homo sapiens are no less important than nuclear fusion power generation technology.

After all, nuclear fusion power generation systems can only generate thermal energy, while gold-based thermoelectric materials can convert 99.9% of thermal energy into electrical energy. The importance of this technology is very high.

After all, the higher the thermal efficiency of power generation, the less energy wasted.

At this stage, the heavy metals in the solar system are still barely enough, but Homo Sapiens will definitely set foot in other planetary systems and even the wider Milky Way in the future.

At that time, in some planetary systems, the congenital problem of scarcity of heavy elements will be unavoidable.

This is where heavy element manufacturing technology comes into play.

Dr. Yuri knew that the company definitely needed this technology as a technical reserve, so he quickly ordered the relevant researchers to verify the technology.

And he himself is working on the data generated by the experiments.

This time the collision experiment produced a lot of data, and the data was also very complicated. If they hadn't mobilized a large part of the supercomputing power of the Mars Colonial Branch, they really couldn't complete the sorting work in a short time.

Of course, tidying up is only preliminary work.

The next step is the key point. They have to peel off the cocoons from these data to find out the valuable data.

Among them, the data about quarks, neutrinos, miniature black holes, and primordial particles are the most important.

Dr. Uri and others studied for three days, found a lot of valuable data, and also verified a part of the physical knowledge of the omnic civilization.

But during the verification process, they found some problems with some of the physical rules of the omnic civilization.

Although these problems do not affect the technical application at this stage, they involve deep physical rules.

If there is an error in these deep-level physical rules, it is very likely to affect the speed at which Homo sapiens can advance to the second level of civilization in the future.
