Chapter 568: Making History! Wireless Light-speed Energy Transmission!
Su Mo had wondered how Chen Shen and the other members of the leadership felt when they were ecstatic in the canteen just now.
Who would have thought that he would experience it as soon as he left the canteen?
Su Mo felt his hands trembling as he glanced at Lu Kuan’s face full of excitement.
He exhaled the warm air from his lungs and inhaled the cold air from the atmosphere before finally being able to calm down.
“How difficult is it to make an energy-gathering ring?”
“It’s very simple! You could almost say that there was no difficulty at all! Come with me! We can make it with our bare hands!”
They decided to do it right away!
Lu Kuan noticed the villagers who were secretly looking at him and suddenly felt his face become hot, then quickly ran toward the shelter.
Su Mo followed him all the way back to the first floor of the underground shelter, and after handing the lunch box in his hand to Su Chan, Su Mo was increasingly curious.
He quickly put on light clothes and sat down beside Lu Kuan.
“The energy gathering ring is not a simple energy extraction device in essence, but a transmission and storage device!
“Since the discovery of the KF energy stone, I have been thinking about what kind of material could be used to contain the energy inside, and minimize shrinkage damage during the transmission process.
“Although Jianfeng’s physics is not the best and probably on the level of an ordinary university professor, his ideas gave me an epiphany!”
When he had just passed the model test, Lu Kuan was running and jumping excitedly like a child. He didn’t even put on his shoes and rushed over to find Su Mo to announce the good news.
However, when it was time for the experiment, his expression immediately became focused again, and there was no trace of hesitation in his eyes, beaming with the brilliance of a scientific research scholar!
Without looking at the location, he blindly pulled out the small shredder next to him.
Lu Kuan raised his hands and carefully placed a fist-sized energy stone into it slowly.
During the process, in order to calibrate the position, he also fine-tuned a few times and stopped immediately when the angle on the screen turned green.
“You’re going to crush it? The raw material of the energy-gathering ring is made of energy stone?”
Su Mo had mainly focused his studies on biology, in order to reverse the problem of his body’s doubling aging rate due to increased cellular strength.
However, his “brief” studies on physics were also at the level of graduate students and were even stronger than some ordinary graduate students.
Hearing his question, Lu Kuan slowly shook his head. “Although the energy stone can be added to an object to bring about a series of incredible effects, its final effect is not so simple. If we use only energy stone links, then in the future, no matter what device or equipment we use, we will have to keep using energy stones.
“Once it is not involved in the process, the efficiency of all devices will be greatly reduced, which is completely detrimental to our future development in energy utilization!
“So, I boldly tried another possibility and turned it into…
“Positioning coordinates!”
Boom!
The words “positioning coordinates” from Lu Kuan’s mouth were like the chimes of Big Ben. It was mind-blowing
Su Mo’s expression showed his extreme shock and his brain was rumbling like an explosion when the universe was first created.
The magic of science did not lie in its application, nor in its development but at the moment when it was suggested, it was like the sparks of friction between the quantum realms had erupted!
The spark was completely beyond the limit of three-dimensional creatures.
Its existence was the only secret of biological ascension!
“From what I understand, this theory was proposed in 2020 when you were on Earth. It seems that the proposer was also… the winner of a Nobel Prize in Physics?”
“Yes, it’s him!”
In the moment of brainstorming, the scattered memories in Su Mo’s mind began to combine and become clear.
Very easily, he remembered the theory suggested by the physicist named Penrose from the many scattered pieces of information in his mind.
Penrose won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for proposing the black hole theory.
The “orchestrated objective reduction theory” that he once proposed was also a theory that postulates that consciousness originates at the quantum level inside neurons.
After processing the information, he knew that Lu Kuan was already aware of this theory so he did not repeat it, but quickly thought about how this theory was related to the energy stone powder in front of him.
A few moments passed.
Seeing Lu Kuan put the collected powder into another familiar machine and was ready for operation, Su Mo suddenly came to a realization and stood up in shock.
“Are you trying to use energy stones as coordinates for energy transmission? Then realize energy transmission in the quantum field?” asked Su Mo.
“No, that’s not possible. According to the theory of relativity, energy and information cannot travel faster than the speed of light.
“Assuming that the quantum state we are currently observing is 0, we immediately know that a few light-years away, the state of another quantum entangled with it is also 0, but we cannot control the state of the currently observed quantum to determine whether it is 0 or 1 and transmit information.
“Unless…”
Lu Kuan tapped the surface of the machine. “Unless we have a way to control quantum transmission!”
“This energy stone can perform quantum transmission?”
“Of course not!”
After replying and seeing Su Mo’s stunned expression, Lu Kuan snickered and started laughing.
“Hahaha! What are you thinking? We could just completely create another game and distribute it to everyone if we could perform quantum transmission!
“They could wear our B quantum, we can influence them through A quantum, and complete real-time communication, or issue various task rewards.
“Unfortunately, that’s impossible for us to achieve!” Lu Kuan poked the air with his finger.
“The role of the energy-gathering ring is not to help us complete the energy transfer at the quantum level, but to focus on ‘gathering’.
“We first use the scattered energy stones to build a large net that can capture energy, and then naturally bind the extracted energy in the net, making it a free state under special circumstances.”
Lu Kuan made a gesture of catching the air and then a wrapping action as he operated the machine while talking eloquently.
“The energy in the free state will naturally float around in the net. It may be at point A, it may be at point B, and of course at point C, point D… or any point that can accommodate energy.
“It seems that we still can’t use energy without losing energy during transmission and can’t achieve high concentrated transmission, right? However, it doesn’t matter, it only needs us…
“To slightly poke on the net, and all the energy will naturally flow in this direction to escape and to fill the instruments we put behind the gap that need energy!
“This is… the prototype of long-distance wireless energy transmission!”
Lu Kuan took out the energy stone powder processed by the machine, and carefully placed it into the anti-shielding glass cover with a mechanical hand on the side.
A magical scene happened as soon as Lu Kuan inputted the energy.
All the powder, as he said, began to float slowly with the flow of energy.
The color continued to fade, gradually disappearing in the air.
Then, when more and more energy accumulated within a very small range of the glass cover, the arc began to naturally surge and create friction against the air, emitting a faint blue light.
Lu Kuan stopped the energy input and casually picked up the glass cover.
Su Mo was able to witness for the first time the energy-gathering ring that he claimed to be included as one of the greatest inventions of mankind.
“F*ck! Isn’t this the Spirit Gathering Spell in those immortal cultivation novels?”
After observing the whole process, Su Mo finally spoke.
However, the first thing that came out of his mouth was a rare vulgarity.
Those who had read novels about immortal cultivation on Earth would be familiar with Lu Kuan’s current invention.
The energy stone could absorb energy, but after the absorption was completed, it would isolate the energy and begin to slowly release it.
Due to this feature, a normal person would think about making energy stones into various utensils to transmit, store and release energy when they acquired it.
However, Lu Kuan was a different creature. His thought process was completely contrary to the way humans would think to solve problems.
He made perfect use of the drawbacks of energy stone. He charged the energy stone powders and when the energy stone absorbed enough energy, it would naturally isolate the external energy and restrain the energy inside.
At this time, within the restrained range, if you used an object with a corresponding absorption interface, then the energy inside would naturally move toward it!
Although wireless, the transmission speed is much more terrifying than wired transmission, and could almost achieve transmission at the speed of light.
This was similar to the spirit gathering spell in immortal cultivation novels which required a few spirit stones to restrain the spirit energy inside and infuse the spirit energy into the human body!
“Haha! Su Mo, I didn’t expect you to be like reading novels like Jianfeng.
“I’m telling you, people who like to read novels have really active brains! They’re usually much smarter than an average person. You understand what I’m saying in an instant!”
Lu Kuan covered the glass cover to dissipate the energy inside and after watching the powder fall into the bottle, he lightly stroked his chin and was relieved.
“Does this thing really have the same effect as the spirit gathering spell?”
“Of course!”
“Nothing less?”
“Nope!”
“Ha! You old thing! When did you learn to be so dishonest?”
During the conversation, Su Mo noticed the suppressed smile on Lu Kuan’s face. He helplessly waved his hands and laughed along with him.
Needless to say, Su Mo had faith in him.
There would never have been such advanced experimental results if they used the system’s survival points to upgrade the energy stone.
This was precisely the disadvantage of using survival points.
To a certain extent, it made people lose their desire for creativity and experimentation, becoming a puppet controlled by the system.
Su Mo felt a little assured as he thought about it.
He would have never found the map and understood the mystery hidden inside it if he did not kill Kento Maeda.
He would have never chosen to spend all his fortune to create the Hope One into the Deep Sea to adventure if Su Chan had not been transmigrated into the Tundra refuge thousands of miles away.
He would also have never entered the expeditionary base and found Lu Kuan and the others who helped overcome his shortcomings.
As the lord and the owner of the chariot of the entire territory, he held in his hand survival points that could upgrade the territory to meet the current predicament and solve some temporarily insurmountable problems.
Lu Kuan and others, as the central control computer of the chariot, used their own scientific research capabilities to meet the future development needs of the territory and brought the territory’s technology tree to higher lengths.
The two parts complemented each other!
‘It turns out that this is the most correct way to use the survival points!
‘I hold on to it as a backup plan, as the last resort, and allow the others to research to their highest capabilities so that there are infinite possibilities in between!”
Su Mo was finally enlightened after he figured out the things he could not before.
The next moment, he looked at the glass plate with the energy stone powder placed in it.
He was in a great mood as he found an answer in his heart!
“Lu Kuan, if I ask you to build an energy-gathering ring with a range of ten kilometers, how many energy stones would you need?”
When he heard Su Mo’s question, the snicker of Lu Kuan’s face stiffened and he began to calculate with a pen and paper.
He understood that Su Mo also figured out the biggest problem in the plan.
Wireless energy transmission at the speed of light was indeed a promising invention.
It was a milestone in the history of human science and technology!
However, throughout history, great inventions like this have not been complete and could not be utilized as soon as they were invented.
Instead, it required a long development, a long optimization, and countless generations of life and wisdom to slowly research and gradually apply it in daily lives.
“Probably… about 18,000 tons?”
After coming up with a figure several hundred times the energy stone reserves, Lu Kuan shrank his neck.
“What if the energy density and energy absorption of the energy stone were doubled?”
“9,700 tons!”
“What if on this basis, I can reduce the energy escape rate of the energy stone by half?”
“4,500 tons!”
“On the basis of these two, what if I double the energy density of the energy stone and ensure that once the energy stone absorbs enough energy, the energy will not escape unless a channel is actively opened?”
This time, Lu Kuan stood up and slammed his hands on the table as he replied, “I can build it with a 10-kilometer range with only 5 tons if you’re able to achieve these 3 conditions!”
“5 tons?”
Su Mo calculated how many times he would need to upgrade as soon as he got an answer from Lu Kuan.
‘At least 5 times.’ The answer formed in his mind.
It was possible to reach the final step by upgrading the energy stone mine at least 5 times, and achieving wireless energy transmission within a range of ten kilometers with only 5 tons!
‘The second time is 100 points, the third time is 500 points, the third time is 2000 points, the fourth time is 5000 points, the fifth time…
‘At least 10,000 points are required to achieve the needed upgrade level!
“Every day I can increase the number of points I get from the location by 0.1, then it would only take… less than six years?”
Su Mo did not dare to continue thinking about it and after realizing that it was entirely possible to realize this invention within his lifetime, he abruptly stopped thinking about it.
In fact, the further down the line, the time needed to invent it could actually be reduced.
For example, the multiplier of the territory points obtained every day would increase by ten points and twenty points in the later stage.
Another example was the follow-up research by Lu Kuan and others, which once again made a breakthrough in this field and could be put to better use or even to access other resources…
With all the possibilities, it was not difficult to achieve it, and it could even be said that… as long as they survive, it would definitely be possible!
“If we can’t achieve wireless transmission now, wired shouldn’t need to consume so much, right?
“After all, we only need to trap the energy in a small area and minimize the energy loss…”
“Yes, cables would greatly reduce the amount needed. Let me do the math!”
Turning to a new page, Lu Kuan began to scribble seriously.
For the wireless transmission figure, he only made an approximate calculation, because he knew that whether the result was 10,000 tons or 5,000 tons, it was an unachievable dream with the current state of the basin.
However, the wired transmission was an urgent need in the basin, and the only achievable method currently, so the calculation had to be extremely accurate.
Lu Kuan finished calculating the first time but his hands began to move again to recalculate the final amount. Then, he used the figures together and repeated his calculations.
The whole process took about an hour. Su Mo did not show any signs of impatience as he sat beside him and carefully analyzed Lu Kuan’s planning.
He looked at the calculation steps one after another.
“Done! The specific amount would also need to take into account the damages during labor, so I can’t calculate an absolute value.
“However, the exact amount needed to get electricity in the whole village is 800 kilograms!
“As for other materials, with our current storage, it won’t be a problem at all!”
Su Mo was stunned and paused for a moment as he heard the big reduction from more than 10,000 tons to only 800 kilograms.
He quickly recollected himself.
The reason why it could be continuously implemented throughout the entire Earth and improve the process of human development was that compared to the wireless light-speed transmission, the wired transmission did not have many constraints which would be difficult to solve.
It was effective. It was really effective because of its… applicability and economic value!
“How many tons do we have now?”
“About two tons have been mined, which is enough to meet the initial power supply required for start-up. We’ll need to mine a little bit more to meet the amount needed for the energy-gathering ring.”
“Okay, I’ll make arrangements now! We’ll mine out 800 kilograms today no matter what!”
Su Mo suddenly stood up and declared firmly. He did not even bother taking a sip of water and hurriedly rushed in the direction of the village.
The days when electricity could only be used by generators and relied on diesel reserves, not to mention the ordinary villagers, were not something he wanted to last so long.
The motor-pumped oil wells could be used to mass-produce plastics and asphalt if they could stop using diesel.
When that time came, one could only imagine the various types of chemical fiber products that could bring groundbreaking changes to everyone’s lives.
They could use asphalt to directly build a few paths that passed linked the north and south territories!
Highways!
