Chapter 522: Charging technology

Energy crystal is undoubtedly an extremely important non-renewable strategic resource for the Gemini civilization.
As an ultra-high-density energy storage medium, its energy density far exceeds all known substances including nuclear fuel.
This cannot be explained by existing physics, so some people speculate that the legendary space technology hidden in the energy crystal is of great scientific value.
In addition, its ultra-high instantaneous energy output performance can not only greatly increase the power of weapons, but also play an important role in miniaturizing weapons and enhancing endurance.
For its discovery and mining, for Gemini, it is like the application of fossil fuels on the earth, which has greatly accelerated the development of civilized science and technology.
Increase the power of weapons, increase the exploration distance of the interstellar fleet, shorten the sailing time, and the energy crystal has an irreplaceable catalytic effect on the interstellar development history of the Gemini civilization!
Because of the important strategic role of energy crystals, ordinary civilizations simply will not trade such important things as trading commodities in large quantities.
Even if the trade commodities are priced based on energy crystals, the two parties only use this as a method of value measurement, and it is basically impossible to settle with a large amount of energy crystals.
...
"Can you explain the meaning of energy crystal as a" special commodity "?" Alsace looked at Deacon.
"Of course, according to the designated trading rules of our allies, the sales method of this special product of energy crystal needs to be distinguished separately. If you want to buy energy crystal, then the only designated exchange goods are ... 'blank crystal'!"
"Blank crystal ?!" The experts behind Arthas exclaimed in unison.
Blank crystal, this is not a rare cosmic mineral, on the contrary, in Gemini civilization, it is an unusable "waste".
Because ... it is the residue after the energy crystal is exhausted!
The ordinary energy crystal is a ruby-like red transparent crystal. When the energy in it is gradually released, its color will gradually fade until it becomes a completely transparent "blank crystal".
To everyone's surprise, it is naturally not that the other party needs this kind of waste as an exchange condition, but rather some kind of amazing information contained in this condition ...
"Have you ... mastered the blank crystal recharge technology?" An expert couldn't help but be surprised.
Blank crystal is a kind of waste for the Gemini civilization, because the Gemini cannot use it, but the Ante Empire will never be untargeted. This kind of thing obviously has a certain collection value.
Combined with the strange behavior of the other party exchanging energy crystal for blank crystal, the final answer is ready to come out ...
Nie Yun has mastered the blank crystal charging technology!
And this ... is also the finale product that Nie Yun carefully prepared for Gemini!
In the beginning of the discovery of the energy crystal residue on the moon, facing the huge threat of Gemini, Nie Yun's research on energy crystal mainly focused on how to use this high-density energy in military technology.
In the follow-up research, Yu Lao and others took the R & D path of energy crystal to the "art" field ...
Cough! Of course, it is undeniable that both sides have achieved remarkable results and have achieved certain scientific research results.
Facts have proved that the super high instantaneous output capability of the energy crystal is a perfect match with the powerful energy superconducting material such as the mechanical worm. The terror damage of the Mithril fleet is revealed in the neighboring galaxy war!
The research of Yu Lao and others has also made gratifying progress. It is said that combined with the force field technology, a fancy "energy crystal bomb" capable of directed and quantitative ejection of energy shock waves has been developed ...
However, it is full of calculations, Nie Yun's development and utilization of energy crystal is only one year, and it is still in a small-scale application stage, so until the recent war started, with the large number of energy crystal applications and consumption, Nie Yun has more and more blank crystal More, he turned his attention to this "non-recyclable garbage".
The use of blank crystals is undoubtedly the highest value is the recharge technology!
If this kind of disposable battery can be turned into a rechargeable battery, then the energy crystal can almost be regarded as an inexhaustible conventional energy, and the strategic value immediately doubled countless times!
However, according to the information obtained by Gemini, they have basically made no progress in the development of this technology.
In the entire Gemini, blank crystals have not yet found any effective use value, and some Gemini architects even regard them as rare building materials.
So at the beginning, Nie Yun had little hope for research in this field.
After all, with Gemini beyond the scientific and technological conditions of his own side, there has been no progress in studying energy crystals for so many years. Nie Yun does not feel that he can surpass the other party in a short period of time with his current scientific research strength.
However, Liu Lao didn't care about inserting the shade, and Yu Lao almost reminded Nie Yun of the habitual sentence "Would you like to try the Mithril material?"
In our own forces, if there is anything that can directly affect the wonders of the universe, there seems to be only mechanical worms that are suspected of being wonders of the universe.
Whether it is the synthesis of fine energy particles into a complete energy crystal block, or the "vampire serum" obtained after mixing with the water of life, it undoubtedly illustrates the unique transformation ability of mechanical insects on two items.
Then Nie Yun conducted experiments on the blank crystal with mechanical insects ...
The final experimental results are undoubtedly surprising!
The mechanical insect can really use its own internal energy to recharge the blank crystal!
Although the energy storage capacity of the mechanical worm is far less than that of the energy crystal, even if it is dumped, only a small piece of blank crystal will show a slight red trace, but the energy does indeed enter the blank crystal ...
That is to say, as long as a continuous source of energy is provided for the mechanical worm, it can be used as a special "transformer" to charge the energy crystal!
This discovery made Nie Yun ecstatic.
But ... the time for happiness is short. Just when Nie Yun thought he was about to get rich overnight and was sitting on the crystal of endless energy, the follow-up experiment poured a pot of cold water on Nie Yun.
Because after 3 recharges, this blank crystal broke into a pile of white powder, even the mechanical worm could not put it together again.
By chance?
Perhaps the action of the mechanical worm is too rough?
Ok! definitely is!
Mechanical insect: "..." (‵ o ′) convex
The unwilling Nie Yun did several experiments again, but to his disappointment, no matter how gentle the charging process was, the result remained the same every time.
A piece of energy crystal can only be recharged three times at most, and it can never be used again.
Obviously, although this recharge method can recharge the blank crystal, every time the energy is washed repeatedly, it will cause certain damage to the energy storage structure of the energy crystal itself.
After up to three times, the energy crystal whose internal structure has been completely destroyed will collapse itself.
Nie Yun finally had to accept the cruel reality depressed.
He felt like he had hit the "One More Bottle" three times in a row, and when he thought that he had received the "Blessing of God" from the "One More Bottle", the next bottle appeared the evil "Thank you!" …
It ’s too exciting to have a big life ...
