Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 601 - 597: Money is Almighty

As for this layer of purple metal, it’s a conventional material called "Ourekasix," which is the highest strength conventional substance to have been explored in the "Abyssal Material."

From a microscopic perspective, it requires a highly regular atomic arrangement and then must be smelt through ultra-high temperature, pressure, and magnetic field environments, with very demanding requirements for the smelting conditions.

One of the scientists looked at the parameters on the data sheet and explained, "Some powerful third-level civilizations, or Fourth-level Civilizations can smelt this material in large quantities."

"The density of this material is slightly lower than that of iron, and its compressive strength is only 26.5% greater than our developed Super Alloy ZX! That is to say, with just one small step more increase, our Super Alloy series would reach the limit of conventional materials in the Universe!"

The scientist started with a confident voice, but it gradually faded.

Is this a good thing?

It is not.

It means that one path had reached its end. Although these Human scientists wouldn’t blindly believe in authority... in front of true pioneers, they would still believe to some extent.

If conventional material technology could no longer be enhanced, the future of technology would still be bottlenecked.

It took a while for them to snap back to reality and then they shook their heads.

According to Human credibility, they could first learn the smelting method of "Ourekasix" and then produce some to pay back to the trading market as compensation. This "some" might amount to several hundred years of productivity.

Next, there were some composite nanomaterials that made up a small portion of the Dyson Sphere’s structure.

Humans had already invented these tensile materials.

Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but marvel, "This ’Abyssal Material’ project must be an official plan from the trading market, truly a bold move. In fact, it’s not just about new materials, it also includes drugs that can act on living beings; life-extending drugs, drugs treating various diseases, all of them have been resolved..."

"Reliance on simply Fourth-level Civilizations definitely wouldn’t push it this far, it would mostly depend on Level 5 Civilizations or even the Sixth-level Amoeba Civilization."

What was peculiar, though, was that the plan seemed to have stagnated for a while, probably because the remaining bones were harder to chew, like various large molecular proteins whose Biological performance was simply too complex.

There were also some inexplicable organic substances. These organic substances could arrange their molecular formulas infinitely, with molecular weights reaching hundreds of millions, or even billions—there was no need to keep experimenting endlessly.

It was also possible that the remaining items were not very useful, not worth the time to analyze.

Beyond the Abyssal Material, there were "Abyssal Gene," "Information Abyss," and other super scientific projects, even bolder plans. There were only very simple introductions available, seemingly much more distant from humanity; without Level 5 Civilization, it wouldn’t even be worth considering.

After discussing for a long time, Zhang Yuan felt hesitant, unsure of what work to pursue. Although people were very envious of the limit of conventional materials, "Ourekasix," the allure of immediately obtaining top-tier cosmic material seemed like it would save a lot of trouble.

But—either spend 300 AmiBa Points to buy the manufacturing method, or take out a credit loan and repay by working.

AmiBa Points, work repayment would also take at least a few hundred years... Don’t think that bargains are so easy to come by.

Although they had 1,500 AmiBa Points on hand, they couldn’t just squander them!

"Forget it, forget it. The Universe’s top tier and humanity’s top tier aren’t that much different; let’s not buy it." Suddenly, a Science Material expert shook his head in resignation.

"Having acquired it so easily, what else would there be to strive for? We’d all be out of a job!"

Zhang Yuan and the others couldn’t help but laugh. Being unemployed was just a figure of speech after all; how could a scientist be unemployed?

The Foreign Minister Old Yang said, "Let’s do this then: first purchase some prospective drugs that aren’t expensive—a mere 0.2 AmiBa Points for each, containing up to 50 atoms. Only the general Biological performance is introduced here; because each species has different Biological properties, let’s buy a few hundred kinds to try out one by one..."

"We could also choose to produce some D3DX nanomaterial named products and sell them to the trading market."

"This is a high-performance material that we’ve invented; it possesses extremely high tensile strength, the entire trading market is demanding it right now... Alright, even a year’s production wouldn’t sell for 0.3 AmiBa Points, yet in a few years’ time, it could leave our mark."

"It could be counted as our first step here..."

Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly; people’s current biggest dream was to leave their names here...

Yes, that’s the dream. Even Zhang Yuan himself harbored such aspirations.

During such a brief visit, to make a contribution to the construction of the Dyson Sphere had become the dream of many a Diplomat, so they could proudly say in the future, "We also built a Dyson Sphere!"

Indeed, face is very important, and it seems quite meaningful too!

It’s not just for Diplomats, but for all citizens of the New Human Civilization, willing to make a certain contribution.

Zhang Yuan didn’t immediately understand the so-called significance of it all; perhaps it was part of human innate vanity...

"Let’s go, let’s go. Let’s get more information first, the Dyson Sphere isn’t going anywhere," Mr. Yang, the Foreign Minister, said.

The group returned to their spaceship, with Artificial Intelligence "Catalanpus-3" steadily guiding the humans through the immense Dyson Sphere, moving slowly as they visited various functional sites.

Super telescopes, energy conversion chambers, high-energy production sectors... This Dyson Sphere had finally moved beyond the damn method of boiling water to convert heat into electrical energy! Instead, it used a peculiar photonic decay technology to reassemble various subatomic particles into antimatter; it was truly eye-opening to see how subatomic technology could be utilized in such a way!

Everybody watched this miracle with wide-eyed wonder, whether it was the massive manufacturing industry or the Starry Sky Ports capable of ingesting whole planets—all of these wonders elicited amazement.

People deeply understood one thing: Money, indeed, is capable of anything!

Without money, really, nothing can be done!

With enough, tens of millions of AmiBa Points, humans today could obtain the complete technology set of a Level 5 Civilization and become a semi-Level 5 Civilization!

Of course, that’s just the technology aspect. Whether human social structure would change, whether they could assimilate this technology without chaos erupting from technological explosion, that’s another matter.

(I’ve been so busy these days! Some say what’s so busy about staying at home every day, QAQ...)

(So whether I can resume regular updates in the future, I also don’t know, I’ll try my best! Typing on the phone is inefficient, all trivial content.)
