Vol 4 Chapter 1044: Hard currency of higher civilization

"Stellar regions far away from the hyperspace channel are indeed rarely approached by advanced civilizations, but it is equally difficult for us to reach the depths of these star regions."
Fang Yuan shrugged and completed what he had said before.
"Yes. The distance between the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy is generally more than 5,000 light-years. If there is no hyperspace channel, it would take 500 years for the spiral arms of the Milky Way to develop a second home and fly to the end with a curvature of ten times the speed of light. Time." Lang Tongguang followed with emotion.
500 years is not long on the scale of the universe.
It's just that, for a person, that is a length of time that cannot be crossed in a lifetime.
"Actually, there is a more critical question. Whether a star system has a hyperspace node or not, it needs to be explored to confirm. It is not true that there is not on the star chart now. After all, the star chart we have only accounts for 0.04 of the Milky Way. %." Chu Xingyun added.
"The star map we have now is too old. Is it possible to get the latest star map from the Carbon-based Alliance?" Lang Tongguang looked to the Supreme Council's department in charge of alien civilization communication.
"We have tried, and the photosynthetic civilization's Piggs said that the star map given to us is indeed a star map from 20,000 years ago. The latest star map is a military secret, and it is impossible to give it to us, not even a transaction." Hu Haitong, head of Star Civilization Communication Department, replied.
"Even if there is no newest star map, is it possible to get it?" Lang Tongguang asked.
"Pigs' reply is that the star map 3000 years ago is tradable." Hu Haitong replied.
This answer immediately aroused everyone's interest.
"Since the transaction is available, when can the transaction be completed?"
"This...According to Piggs' description, we do not have the advanced civilization currency required by the carbon-based alliance. Therefore, transactions cannot be realized. At the same time, the number of stars recorded in the 3000 year star map is 100 million, which is more than 80 million. The extra quantity is relatively limited. Therefore, the transaction value is to be discussed." Hu Haitong said he was helpless.
"What is the higher civilization currency?" Fang Yuan was more concerned about this issue.
"A substance called Zro. Zro is a transliteration, and the Chinese character transliteration is'泽珞'. We don't know what this substance is, only transliteration. Information about Zro? Has it been submitted to the Academy of Military Sciences? Our department only knows so much information about these substances.
Hu Haitong spread his hands again.
Information about this unknown substance? A department in charge of foreign affairs really cannot know more.
Admiral Rod looked at the Academy of Military Sciences? He asked, "Is the report on this substance coming out?"
"Preliminary reports are available? But I can't answer what Zro is. Yesterday, I heard the news from the Curvature Technology Lab. Professor Yang Yuping took over the analysis of the data. What did the morning report say? I can produce the prepared report today. "The representative of the Academy of Military Sciences answered.
At this moment.
A communication intervened in the venue. After confirmation, an image of a person appeared on the big screen. It was Yang Yuping.
However, the image that appears on the screen is not a robot image, but a real person.
Obviously, what was shown on the screen was Yang Yuping's previous video.
Fang Yuan knew why Yang Yuping didn't show the appearance of the current robot because of the way carbon-based life souls are energized? There are disputes in morality and human relations.
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, confidentiality is required.
Yang Yuping began to give a report: "About Zro? Our team already knows what it is. The complicated verification process is omitted. In words that everyone can understand? This is a higher purity star-source aerosol. .
"Of course, the real situation is not that simple.
"This Zro is in an aerosol state? It is very light? It can float in the air.
"Theoretically? It can be purified from Xingyuan Mine.
"However, according to the information given by the photosynthetic civilization, the Zro concentration of the Xingyuan mine we are currently mining has not reached the concentration that can be purified.
"To put it more simply, humans currently do not have the ability to mine and purify Zro."
"Xingyuan aerosol? Why can't it be purified? Is it too technically difficult?" Admiral Rod asked.
"Technology is one aspect. On the other hand, it is true that the Zro concentration of Xingyuan Mine is too low. In fact, we can't even detect Zro from Xingyuan Mine. All conclusions are analyzed from the data provided by the photosynthetic civilization. "Yang Yu flattened his hands and expressed helplessness.
"What is Zro? Dark matter?" Fang Yuan asked with a frown.
Dark matter is actually a general term for unobservable matter.
Dark matter is not actually a kind of matter, it may be many kinds of matter, and its characteristic is that it cannot be observed by humans in any way.
Once a certain kind of dark matter is observed by humans through technological means, then this kind of matter has been extracted from the category of dark matter.
"Rather than dark matter, I prefer to call it materialized energy. From the data, it can be seen that Zro can convert all mass into energy, and the conversion ratio conforms to the mass-energy formula E=mc^2." Yang Yuping gave Gave a very surprising answer.
All scientists know a scientific truth, when science comes to an end, mass equals energy.
In fact.
There is no need to wait for science to come to an end, humans have already seen the universal law that mass equals energy.
There is nothing wrong, that is antimatter.
The annihilation of antimatter is in full compliance with the rule that mass equals energy.
How much energy can be produced by the amount of antimatter.
The total energy produced is equal to the total mass of positive and negative matter.
So, human beings have mastered antimatter technology, and the entire mass is converted into energy. Is Zro still important?
The answer is, of course it is important.
From the point of view that Zro is a high-purity star-source aerosol, Zro should be a mild energy source.
The value of a mild energy source is countless times higher than that of a strong energy source.
A little comparison will tell.
The gap between nuclear fusion and controlled nuclear fusion is a world of difference.
However, controllable nuclear fusion cannot be called a moderate energy source.
Gentle energy can even be held in your hands. It is conceivable how big the value gap between them is.
From this point of view, it is not surprising that Zro has become the currency of higher civilizations.
"In fact, the first purpose of higher civilizations occupying so many stars is stellar energy, and the second purpose is to find mineable Zro. Therefore, Zro will become the hard currency of higher civilizations, and we currently have no ability to mine this. This kind of thing can't even be detected by detection." Yang Yuping's tone revealed a hint of helplessness, and at the same time, it also implies unlimited yearning.
The true meaning of science is to constantly explore the unsolved mysteries in the universe.
