375: Chapter 375 Energy Shield

Intercepting physical attacks refers to intercepting attack types that use physical objects as carriers, such as airplanes, bullets, and artillery shells. However, biochemical and energy-based attacks still cannot be defended against.

"It's still not foolproof. From their perspective, the signal tower withstood the dung beetles's attack. So, if my guess is correct, they will definitely continue to make various attempts to find an effective countermeasure."

"For us, the signal tower is a flag. It represents invincibility and inviolability, so there absolutely cannot be any problems with it," Oriental Chen said, shaking his head.

This logic is simple: if they can't do anything to the signal tower, they won't dare to easily cause trouble. But if the signal tower is destroyed, the situation will be different.

We all know that the signal tower is just a bluff, and it can only fool them for a while, not forever.

"To achieve comprehensive protection, new technologies need to be unlocked," Xiao Lin replied.

"Which technology?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Controllable Molecular Resonance Technology, also known as Energy Shield," Xiao Lin replied.

"Check the Technology Tree and mark the prerequisites for activating this technology," Oriental Chen said, becoming interested.

This is good; with an Energy Shield, the base in Batuo City will be absolutely safe.

"Okay, Commander, the panel has been opened for your review," Xiao Lin said.

"3D Nano Printing Technology, High-Temperature Superconducting Technology, Weak Force Compression Technology..." Oriental Chen read out, looking at the panel one by one.

He randomly clicked on a technology box to view the description:

3D Nano Printing Technology.

Accuracy: 0.5 - 10 nanometers.

Precisely prints materials according to the molecular formula and elemental doping ratio set by the program.

The description was simple, but Oriental Chen knew that this technology was by no means simple.

Directly printing compounds according to their molecular formula was something he had never heard of before.

This is basically equivalent to realizing the production of any solid compound and alloy at the microscopic level, directly omitting the production processes of material purification, synthesis, and smelting. The advantage of doing this is extremely high purity and extremely stable performance.

Note that there are two keywords here: basic and extreme. This means that the accuracy of this technology is still somewhat insufficient, but it is sufficient for producing the materials needed for the Energy Shield.

Also, this technology has an essential difference from ordinary 3D printing.

For example, to print a compound with the molecular formula NaCl. We all know that this is sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt. 3D Nano Printing Technology can directly use chlorine atoms and sodium atoms to print this compound, which is amazing.

This also requires considering the bond energy between atoms, which looks like a physical process and also like a chemical process.

Of course, achieving this 3D Nano Printing Technology definitely requires raw materials. This would require other technologies to refine these elemental materials.

Other technologies, such as High-Temperature Superconducting Technology and Weak Force Compression Technology, were all things Oriental Chen had never heard of.

Corresponding to these technologies, Oriental Chen needed to add more than 10 production bays to the base, including: High-Purity Elemental Production Bay, Weak Force Compression Bay, Strong Beam Container Production Bay, Superconducting Material Production Bay, and so on.

With the technological achievements of the entire Nata Civilization era, Oriental Chen didn't need to think or do research; he just needed to build the corresponding production bays according to the technical data to activate these technologies.

Moreover, he didn't need to exert himself during the construction process. He just needed to make decisions and issue commands.

The working principle of the Energy Shield is as follows.

First, a core controller is needed, called: Strong Beam Pulse Resonator.

Using Controllable Molecular Resonance Technology, a molecular protective layer of a specific shape can be formed around the protected object. The thickness of this protective layer depends on the power of the resonator, and its composition is a monatomic molecule: Radon.

The shield requires enormous energy to operate, so it is not normally activated, which is called the ground state.

In the ground state, this layer of shield seems to not exist at all, and any substance, including air, can easily penetrate it. But in the excited state, any substance will be de-energized or even annihilated when it approaches the shield.

De-energizing requires less energy, and its working principle is the same as practicing Tai Chi. After an object collides with the shield at high speed, the Energy Shield activates and enters the excited state. The kinetic energy of the object is absorbed by the high-speed moving molecules on the shield and spreads to other parts of the shield through oscillation, thereby achieving de-energization.

Therefore, during this process, the shield will emit blue, red, or purple light, as well as ripples similar to those on a water surface.

Annihilation requires more energy. The radon molecules on the shield have a larger atomic weight, and after entering the excited state, they gain high-speed kinetic energy. Once in contact with an object, they will instantly molecularize it, thus producing an effect similar to annihilation.

The shield can protect against any form of attack, even energy attacks.

Its scope of use is very wide, from a small protective suit to a city, or even a country or a planet. As long as there is a sufficiently large Strong Beam Pulse Resonator and sufficient energy, it can protect everything. Of course, this also includes Space Stations and interstellar spacecraft.
