557: Chapter 557: What a Big Tone

"It won't work here; it can only be done very close to a star."

"How do we do it?" Oriental Chen asked excitedly.

It's good to have a solution.

"Use carbon and silicon as framework elements, and weave molecular light-absorbing crystal tubes with hexagonal cross-sections according to certain rules. Then arrange these crystal tubes to form a miniature light-absorbing crystal lattice. Splice these lattices together to form a light crystal plate. Splicing a large number of light crystal plates can form a light-absorbing surface, and the absorbed light is transmitted to the zhen crystal to achieve charging," Monga explained.

It sounds simple, but it is quite troublesome to do.

To mass-produce such light-absorbing crystal tubes, molecular-level material production technology is required.

However, Oriental Chen has already mastered this point.

What is important is the technical solution. How these molecules are arranged, how they are spliced, how they are assembled, and how they are transmitted, this is the main thing.

The charging method of zhen crystal is completely different from that of batteries.

To charge a battery, light energy needs to be converted into electrical energy first.

But zhen crystal does not need to; it can directly absorb light energy.

So, it's enough to just transmit the absorbed light to the zhen crystal.

"Do you have a technical solution?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Yes, I do," Monga replied.

"However, to put it into practical use, a relatively large amount of zhen crystal is needed," Monga added.

"How much is needed?" Oriental Chen swallowed.

"Each charging unit needs to install a zhen crystal. Even if a charging station is set up near the solar orbit, it will take about 30 days for one zhen crystal to be fully charged. Of course, there is also transit and transportation time in between. So, to achieve a continuous supply of zhen crystal energy, you need at least 1,000 pieces to cycle," Monga explained.

"1,000 pieces? Is that a lot?" Oriental Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought it would be a lot more; 1,000 pieces are just a drop in the bucket.

"What a big tone! Do you know what 1,000 pieces mean? When Longguo was at its strongest 1 billion years ago, the total stock was only 1 million pieces. Our secret base is a key project, and we only got 10 pieces. So every time I change the energy, I need to drive the spaceship back to Mars Base," Monga said with disdain.

"Was Longguo that poor back then?" Oriental Chen muttered.

"..." Monga glared at him.

"You're not poor, are you? Then tell me, how many do you have? One or two?" Monga retorted.

"Not much, only 10,000 pieces, and soon another 20,000 pieces will be credited," Oriental Chen deliberately put on a casual tone.

"What!?" Monga was shocked.

"Don't make a fuss, looking like you've never seen the world before!" Oriental Chen successfully showed off.

"How can there be so many?" Monga didn't believe it.

"That's why I said you haven't seen the world!" Oriental Chen laughed.

"It's those Laventa people, right? They gave them to you?" Monga asked.

Just now, Oriental Chen said that he insisted on helping them build an underground base because he wanted to earn zhen crystal from them.

"Not given, but exchanged! They provide zhen crystal, and I provide equipment and technology," Oriental Chen corrected.

"Is Nata's technology worth so much zhen crystal? You're clearly cheating," Monga said, unconvinced.

"Say whatever you want, as long as you're happy," Oriental Chen said indifferently.

"No, you have to find a way to trick all these zhen crystals over! It's too dangerous to leave them in their hands!" Monga suddenly did a 180-degree turn.

"Don't worry, there's no problem in the short term. At least so far, space is still completely our home ground. Even if they have zhen crystal, it's useless," Oriental Chen replied.

The Moni People are like rats in a hole now; they can cause damage, but would they dare to build a charging station on the sun? It would be occupied in minutes.

"In short, this matter must always be paid attention to, and never fall into the hands of the enemy," Monga said.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Oh, by the way, not only the Maya, but I suspect the Okshung also have zhen crystal," Oriental Chen added.

"Those underwater miners have them too?"

"That's right, the first zhen crystal I got was given to me by them," Oriental Chen nodded.

"How can there be so much zhen crystal on Blue Star? Why wasn't it discovered before?" Monga muttered to herself.

"Maybe you didn't explore it properly?" Oriental Chen said.

"How is that possible? To find zhen crystal, Longguo even explored Pluto," Monga said.

"Really? Then maybe it wasn't detected, who knows," Oriental Chen said.

Just like exploring oil fields, there's a lot of luck involved in this kind of thing.

"Perhaps!" Monga no longer dwelled on this issue.

"You give me the technical data first, and I'll see if I can build the charging station."

"Okay, I've sent it to you," Monga said.

Since Monga's mission is to revive human civilization, she naturally preserved the highest technological achievements of humanity at that time.
