Chapter 293 Preparing to Depart

From the day it was officially put into use, the experimental projects of the space multi-point particle collider were suddenly postponed to more than 30 years later, and there are still applications for use on the way to the relevant departments of the new government.

Scientists have obviously been holding back for many years. Now that the collider is built, they are really eager for it, which is a good phenomenon.

But Yue Yuan is also very clear in his mind that there may be no new discoveries in the collision experiment of the collider for a long time, or even for a long time, which is also a normal phenomenon.

Using a particle collider to explore the unknown is different from other types of scientific exploration. Other types of exploration may have an assumed goal, and then explore step by step towards the goal, just like the previous room-temperature superconductivity, which is to determine the goal of finding room-temperature superconducting materials, and then find ways to achieve the goal.

Particle colliders are different. In fact, even those scientific teams that apply to use particle colliders for particle collision experiments don’t know what they can pretend to be.

Therefore, it is a miracle to collide with new discoveries, and it is normal not to collide with any discoveries. Because the discovery they are looking for is not a new technology, but to promote the progress of basic physics.

To be honest, even though humans have become a Level 2 civilization, their basic physics is still ahead of the times. Many technologies derived from basic physics have not been realized by humans.

But this does not mean that humans can always rely on their old knowledge. Apart from other things, humans now do not have a basic theoretical framework for warp speed navigation. What they have are just a bunch of ideas that are not rigorously mathematically calculated and cannot be realized.

If they continue to rely on their old knowledge, even if humans can reach Level 3 civilization, they will sooner or later be stuck on the technical barriers of Level 4 civilization.

Therefore, even though they know that the collider is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there will be no harvest for a long time, the new government still wants to build it. Now that the collider has been completed and put into use, it can be regarded as a ray of hope for the future progress of basic physics for humans.

Scientific research is like this. If you want to make progress in basic theories, you have to make great efforts and invest for a long time. There is no shortcut, because the road ahead is unknown.

Of course, it is precisely because of the unknown that scientists are more interested. After all, as a real scientific researcher, the greatest wish is to explore the unknown.

It can be said that the completion and use of the collider has allowed humans to see the dawn of future scientific development.

However, the particle collider is different from other scientific equipment. Once it is turned on and put into use, it must be kept running unless humans want to set sail again and move to another place.

From another perspective, this is also natural. After all, this is the only particle collider humans have.

As for the departure time, the new government has already made a preliminary plan. Humans will probably leave this galaxy in two hundred years.

Of course, plans are plans, and there will definitely be some discrepancies in the actual departure time.

This depends on various circumstances, such as the construction of residential spacecraft, the construction of warships, the collection of dog-headed people, the collection of the biosphere of the dog-headed planet, and other factors.

The construction of residential spacecraft and warships is secondary. The most important thing is the dog-headed biosphere resources and the spacecraft carrying biosphere resources.

Before leaving, humans will collect as many animals and plants on the planet as possible, especially those that can be cultivated into food. These are all delicacies on the human table in the future.

Since the successful research on genetic modification and immune agents, the creatures on this planet have become a source of meat for humans. Such benefits will naturally not be missed by humans.

As for warships and residential spacecraft, they can only wait a little longer, because this orange dwarf star system was really licked too clean by the UFO civilization many years ago. Even though the planets are still there, the mineral resources needed to build warships are not abundant.

Humans are not so desperate that they want to dig out the metal of the entire planet. After all, humans cannot take away all the dog-headed people, so they still have to leave some resources for them.

It’s not that humans suddenly become saints, but mining too deep will not only waste energy, but also get twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, there is more than one star system in the universe. With the current human capabilities, it is easy to fly to the next star system.

Wouldn’t it be better to find a star system with many planets, rich resources and convenient mining to mine? There is no need to die in this barren land.

Therefore, the new government plans to spend another two hundred years to collect biosphere resources, and then set sail.

According to the plan, when humans set sail, the number of Lake-class warships will be about one hundred more, and the other newly added spacecraft will be residential spacecraft and biosphere spacecraft.

As for fuel replenishment, that is even less of a problem.

There are a lot of protium, deuterium and tritium in the seawater on the Gnoll Planet, but as a second-level civilization, humans are too lazy to extract these nuclear fusion raw materials. They don't even have the helium-3 and helium-4 deposits on the planet to dig, but directly dig stones.

Anyway, heavy nuclear fusion is to burn stones, so humans directly use soil and stones as fuel and transport them to the fleet in space.

After the energy path is broadened, it is so willful.

So, after reaching the second-level civilization, as long as there is a rocky planet, there is no need to worry about energy shortages at all. Oh, no, gaseous planets are also fine, but mining is not as convenient as rocky planets.

In a blink of an eye, another few decades have passed. During this period of time.

The optimized version of the human body enhancement agent has been officially popularized, and the phenomenon of scales on the surface of humans entering the overclocking mode has also been eliminated.

In addition, the experimental version of the nano-repair robot was also created with the efforts of scientists and engineers in various fields, but the experimental results were not satisfactory.

In a certain experiment, the engineers followed the program instructions and gave the repair robot group a repair instruction. As a result, the group of repair robots the size of ping-pong balls went to the hole of the broken iron plate, and blocked the hole with their bodies in the form of generating high temperature, but the result of blocking was the same as a pile of welding slag.

It did not reach the preset repair shape at all, and even melted itself directly before reaching the experimental target location, paralyzed halfway.

This experiment can't be described as a failure, but a failure in failure.

However, the scientists and engineers were not discouraged. Although the result was an unexpected failure, they felt that they could still learn from it.

In the future, the scientists and engineers in charge of the nano-repair project have made many improved versions of nano-robots, but it is not to say that there is no progress, it is simply no progress and standing still.

"Particle colliders have been colliding for so many years, but nothing has come out of them, right?"

This is how the scientists and engineers of the Nano Repair Robot Project responded to the questioning of the resource approval department.
