Chapter 1810: New materials are about to arrive in Hong Kong.
"This is far from over."
In our exploration of the primordial universe, we discovered something even more terrifying.
At this moment, the male secretary played a video.
Inside, you can see something that looks like a fireball, like a star, but it's not a star.
It gives one a feeling that is hard to describe in words.
The Holy Maiden Civilization refers to it as the 'Fire Element'.
Its temperature is terrifying.
The Holy Maiden Civilization even suspects that the frequent high-temperature disasters in the Primordial Universe are related to its existence.
It is formed by the aggregation of many flammable elements.
However, this process is accompanied by significant risks.
The Holy Maiden civilization once attempted to artificially create the element of fire, but the end result was the disappearance of a star system.
A galaxy has disappeared?
Hearing this, Zhao Chen was even more surprised.
Isn't this the same effect as the Supernova Ultimate Bomb they had before?
Is there some similarity between the two?
"Therefore, research on the Yan element is currently a prohibited project of the Saintess Civilization."
Legend has it that there is another element above the element of fire.
Yi element.
However, the existence of the Yi element is legendary.
Some people who have explored the primordial universe have said they have seen it.
That was a living organism!
Some people call her the goddess of fire.
However, this is a legend of the Holy Maiden Civilization, and there is no actual evidence to support it.
Therefore, this needs to be verified.
"Because research on fire and its related composite elements is extremely dangerous, the Holy Maiden Civilization hasn't made any significant breakthroughs in this area," the male secretary explained.
"However, according to existing research, it can be used as fuel, and the element flammable has already been proven to be usable as fuel."
However, there is still a problem: cost-effectiveness.
Fire element requires a large amount of fire element to smelt, while existing fuels, although not as good as fire element, are more cost-effective.
Therefore, no one has studied the element of fire.
Zhao Chen squinted and didn't say anything.
The unique properties of this fire element indicate its great potential for research, but it also carries inherent risks.
However, nothing is without risk on the path of scientific research.
Throughout history, there have been instances where scientists have sacrificed their lives for major discoveries or experimental projects.
If this fire element is proven to have significant research value, then further investigation will be needed.
Zhao Chen will also order the continuation of research on its subsequent derivative substances.
After all, the current Dragon Star Empire urgently needs advanced technology to deal with the current threat from the Conqueror Civilization, as well as the future {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} threat from the Order.
All of this requires the Dragon Star Empire to quickly forge a spear and a sword for itself!
He looked at the third document.
One of them was a seed, which at first glance looked just like an ordinary mung bean, nothing special.
"What is this?" Zhao Chen asked, somewhat curious.
Because this was something he had never known in his previous timeline experiences.
Among the initial universe data known in that timeline, there were only the aforementioned records, and nothing about this seed.
"We actually obtained this by chance."
When we first discovered it, we thought it was a plant seed that had fallen from our starship.
But it turned out that wasn't the case.
It appears to belong to some kind of plant.
Its location is often within a certain range of the inflammatory element.
At the same time, its traces will only appear when the concentration of the surrounding A151 water reaches a certain level.
We searched the primordial universe for over a month and only found three such seeds.
This is one of them.
In addition, we conducted some tests beforehand, and no matter how we stimulated it, it did not change at all.
Its only characteristic is...
It's hard!
"We tried every means to destroy it, but to no avail," the male secretary said.
Indestructible?
It should be noted that no known substance has ever been found to be indestructible.
This thing seems to have great research value.
However, given the current manpower and resources of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, conducting research on an unknown substance without any clues presents immense pressure.
It may take decades, or even centuries, to invest in this.
Therefore, Zhao Chen doesn't have much thought about this seed at the moment.
The fourth container contained something that looked like a rock.
"This is a mineral, and it is one of the most common minerals in the primordial universe."
This is its normal state.
However, once a certain amount of A151 water is injected into it, it will continuously expand and split itself.
Its most notable feature is its lightness; even when inflated to the size of a small mountain, it can be lifted by a single person.
I have never seen such a light substance.
The Holy Maiden Civilization has been developing it the most extensively, but its hardness is generally low, and it is often used as a building material.
However, because its origin is in the primordial universe, the mining conditions are harsh, which means that the cost is relatively high.
Therefore, this type of raw material is often only used in engineering projects that have time constraints or special construction environments.
The Holy Maiden Civilization named it 'X13 Alloy'.
Zhao Chen's eyes lit up; the X13 alloy was actually one of his main objectives.
He knew about this material.
This is also one of the important foundations for the development of T7 technology military weapons.
It could even be used as a primary T7-grade material in the future.
It can be said that among these substances, it is currently the most important to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, and it is also the one that can be 'monetized' in a short period of time.
"This fifth discovered substance is the fifth dark matter, a substance that researchers have previously discussed as existing."
But it has never been discovered.
We collected it this time.
The Holy Maiden Civilization has also studied this dark matter, and is one of the few civilizations that has applied it to practical technology.
Its function is to increase the balance between elements.
As for the specific extent that can be achieved, I don't know.
The Holy Maiden Civilization has always kept its research in this area highly confidential.
However, judging from the quantity collected by the Holy Maiden Civilization, its application scope should not be very wide.
Zhao Chen also knew about this substance.
It can be used as a weapon.
It is one of the main types of weapons belonging to the T7 technology level.
"The sixth substance is a gas."
In the early universe, we have not found any physical planets, but we have discovered some gas giants.
Among these, there exists a high-density Y11 gas.
The known uses of this gas are as fuel and as a weapon power source.
There is a lot of room for exploration.
Zhao Chen also knew some information about this last element; its functions were quite comprehensive.
It can be mainly used in the energy sector, but it can also be used in some auxiliary products, even in civilian applications, and it may even be used in the field of weapons.
It can be described as a versatile and all-purpose product.
Zhao Chen listened to the male secretary's account.
His gaze swept over the six bottles in front of him.
A151 contains water, fire, a mysterious unnamed seed, X13 alloy, the fifth dark matter, and Y11 gas.
If these six elements were placed before ordinary researchers, it would probably take hundreds of years to figure out their uses.
But with Zhao Chen...
He actually already knew how to use these things.
By chance, Zhao Chen traveled back in time to the Star Alliance, where he learned about the importance of the Primordial Universe to T7 technology.
It describes the importance of these elements.
And some usage instructions.
Among the data that Zhao Chen had planned out in advance, some experimental schemes were also marked.
For Zhao Chen, everything is now ready except for the final push.
Now the east wind has arrived.
“You did a great job.”
"These things you brought back are crucial to the future technological development of our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire!" Zhao Chen looked at the male secretary with appreciation.
Although Zhao Chen only learned about their experiences in the Holy Maiden Civilization from their words, he knew without a doubt how difficult and dangerous it would be to bring these things back!
The male secretary was also very excited when he heard this.
All they knew was that these were newly discovered elements, but no one knew what their purpose was.
But since this was a task assigned by Emperor Xiaolong, it was a mission he requested.
President Li Wei once said that even if it meant his death, he would still send these things back.
"Next, Mr. Li Wei."
A continuous supply line will be established there to ensure a steady supply of these raw materials.
Therefore, we will establish a short-term partnership with Far Eastern Air Transport.
However, the shipping costs in this area are very high.
Lord Li Wei said he hopes we can make a breakthrough in inter-universe group travel.
"Then we'll be able to use our own inter-space swarm travel equipment," the male secretary said.
Using the giant Kun of the Far Voyage Society to complete inter-universe voyages is certainly not a long-term solution.
But this is the only option available at the moment.
In order to build combat weapons of T7 technology level as soon as possible.
No matter how high the shipping costs are, the Dragon Star Empire will pay for them.
"rest assured.
I believe we will soon possess our own inter-space swarm travel technology for the Dragon Star Empire!
Very soon!
At that time, the influence of our Dragon Star Empire will be amplified once again.
"Instead of being confined to our current universe cluster," Zhao Chen said firmly.
He has now one foot in the door of T7 technology, and the next step is for the Dragon Star Empire to truly join the T7 technology club.
It's only a matter of time.
"Pass on my order to immediately transport these materials to the Imperial Academy of Sciences."
We should study these materials as soon as possible.
The transportation, research, and secrecy of these materials are top-level tasks.
The Imperial Guards were assigned to escort them.
If any problems arise along the way.
Court-martial!
"Yes!" The Imperial Guard following beside him stood up straight, his expression also very serious.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a serious expression on Emperor Xiaolong's face, and it was clear that His Majesty Emperor Xiaolong took this matter very seriously.
That's why they finally resorted to harsh words about severe punishment.
Afterwards, these new material elements were transported to the Imperial Academy of Sciences at top speed without any hindrance.
Scientists and researchers who had received the news early on were already waiting there.
Unless there are any important research projects at hand, people are currently longing for the distant universe.
At that moment, a woman dressed in a white robe was walking briskly towards them.
That's Chief Engineer Nana.
Chief Engineer Nana was accompanied by several deputies, who helped her complete her work.
On the other hand, it's about learning from her.
"These are some research materials sent by His Majesty the Emperor, as well as plans for the use of these new elements."
Among them are three new material extraction and smelting schemes.
His Majesty the Emperor has spoken.
We need to take two steps simultaneously.
This allows us to conduct research on these elemental materials.
At the same time, another group of people needed to immediately begin manufacturing the first batch of new materials according to his requirements.
"After His Majesty finishes his current tasks, he will personally come to our Imperial Academy of Sciences to supervise these projects," the deputy said from the side.
"I see.
Related research and production departments.
You are responsible for making the arrangements.
This work must begin before His Majesty the Emperor of the Dragon Clan arrives.
"No slackness is allowed!" Chief Engineer Nana reminded.
She then arrived at a shipyard of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
The Imperial Academy of Sciences is a large building.
Here, apart from the buildings housing the Academy of Sciences' own research facilities.
There are also several docks here that can accommodate interstellar warships of different sizes.
Because the Imperial Academy of Sciences often needs to receive materials for research, it would be quite troublesome to transfer them from the starport.
Therefore, some interstellar transport ships are permitted to dock at the Imperial Academy of Sciences' docks, but not just any interstellar transport ship can dock there.
All of these require relevant documentation or involve undergoing rigorous checks.
At this moment, a large number of people have gathered here, all eagerly anticipating what's to come.
"How much longer?" Chief Engineer Nana asked her deputy.
One of the deputies glanced at the time and the latest synced message.
He immediately said, "It is estimated that there are still fifteen minutes left."
The interstellar transport ships carrying the new material elements can arrive here and dock.
"Fifteen minutes," Chief Engineer Nana muttered.
He then asked, "How are the related work arrangements going?"
"The departments responsible for the research have been set up. There are a total of six departments, with nearly 190 researchers in charge. They have been assigned to research labs number three, six, and seven."
In addition, there are four departments, each staffed by 150 researchers, responsible for directly manufacturing and smelting according to the plans formulated by His Majesty.
The third and fifth workshops have been assigned to this task!
