Chapter 1397 The Third Energy Revolution

The third energy revolution.

"From the stage of civilization development, the Palesey civilization is about to enter the third energy revolution. If this happens, it is very likely that it will be the end of the Carbon-based Alliance."

During a chat with Yang Yuping, the old professor said this sentence aroused Fang Yuan's interest.

In fact, it is no secret that the Palese civilization is about to enter the third energy revolution.

The stage of development of a civilization has certain predictability.

Just like when humans were still primary civilizations, they had already begun to speculate on the form of higher civilizations.

Although there are many differences between the speculated higher civilization and the actual higher civilization, there is not much deviation in the general direction.

Therefore, starting from two thousand years, it has been rumored that the Palesey civilization is about to enter the third energy revolution.

However, this rumor has been circulating for more than two thousand years, and so far, there has been no substantial progress.

Regarding the third energy revolution, it was proposed by a scientist in the Palesey civilization.

The so-called energy revolution is a technological leap that subverts the existing energy system.

Just like when humans conquered controllable nuclear fusion technology, they completely overturned the energy system.

At that time, the oil and energy stock prices of White Eagle Kingdom fell directly below the horizon.

The second energy revolution was brought about by antimatter energy.

The third energy revolution, so far, has not been seen.

Because in the Palesey civilization, the most advanced warships also use antimatter energy systems.

In other words, the energy technology of the Palesey civilization is still at the antimatter level.

If the third energy revolution is to be completed, a new energy needs to be emerged, providing hundreds of times more energy than antimatter energy.

From the perspective of energy conversion ratio of raw material quality, antimatter energy is more than 200 times that of nuclear fusion.

Therefore, from this perspective, the third energy revolution requires a new energy that is hundreds of times higher than the energy provided by antimatter energy.

Of course, so far, the Palesey civilization has not found such energy, or has increased its energy efficiency by a hundred times through technology.

The number of 100 times is just a random example. Since this energy has not been found, there is no accurate data to support this conclusion.

Research on the third energy revolution has so far only been in the theoretical research stage.

However, judging from the information obtained by the Carbon-based Alliance, the Palesey civilization has begun to invest a lot of scientific resources in energy technology and seek the "key" of the third energy revolution.

The technology of the Carbon-based Alliance has not yet developed to an energy bottleneck, so it has not yet begun to invest heavily in the third energy revolution.

"What does the professor think of the 'key' of the third energy revolution?"

Fang Yuan is very interested in this topic, and the scientific view established since childhood has actually set limits on this topic:

"From the mass-energy formula, antimatter energy is actually the limit of energy. The energy converted from antimatter reaction is converted into energy by the full mass, and there is no drop of mass left."

One hundred and twenty years ago, when Einstein wrote the mass-energy formula E=mc^2, it seemed like a wall, which determined that the limit of energy was antimatter.

However, no one can be sure whether one day the mass and energy formula will be broken, just like Newton's classical mechanics will also have a day to withdraw from the environment.

"The Palesey civilization is also looking for this 'key', and the Carbon-based Alliance is also looking for it, but the Carbon-based Alliance does not have that much energy, and only a few cutting-edge scientists are studying it." Yang Yuping couldn't give an answer.

"Have you reached any conclusions in the Napalese civilization?" Fang Yuan was a little curious.

"From the current information, there are three routes for the third energy revolution. One is to find new energy and transcend antimatter energy, the other is to change the way of obtaining energy, and there is also a religious theology field belonging to Palesey. They believe that divine energy will be the 'key' of the third energy revolution."

When Yang Yuping said this, he paused, looked at Fang Yuan with a look of looking at the mouse, and said, "Among humans, you are one of the few people who have been exposed to divine energy. What do you think of this energy? Is it possible that it will become the key to the third energy revolution?"

Fang Yuan frowned and thought.

Divine energy is indeed magical. It is a special existence beyond ordinary energy, but judging from the energy unit content, the divine energy is actually not particularly high.

In fact, most of the time, divine energy is not used to exert power.

Divine energy is more like the energy given to "life". If life is like it, it has wonderful attributes.

Fang Yuan shook his head slowly and said, "From the perspective of my contact with divine energy, if the efficiency of this energy is put into the reactor, it will not obtain more energy than antimatter.

"If divine energy is really the 'key' of the third energy revolution, then the way this 'key' opens the door is definitely not an order of magnitude change."

Yang Yuping recorded the evaluation of divine energy by the source below.

This is the attitude that scientific research should have. The information obtained from a person who has personally been exposed to divine energy is the most intuitive information.

Yang Yuping continued: "If divine energy is not the 'key' of the third energy revolution, it should be an improvement in other energy efficiency, but the increase in efficiency from 30% to 100%, which is actually three times higher, and it is impossible to reach the level of causing the energy revolution.

“And, it’s more difficult to achieve 100% energy conversion than to carry out the third energy revolution.”

Fang Yuan thought about and discussed: "Is there any other possibility?"

"Apart from this, we can only study it in the direction of dark energy. At present, the three directions of the Palesey civilization are being studied at the same time. It is hard to say which direction has a breakthrough..."

Yang Yuping said this and paused, laughing, "Speaking of it, you have divine energy and dark energy. If the 'key' of the third energy revolution is among these three, then you will take two of them."

Fang Yuan also grinned and said, "So, I have become the key to scientific progress. Have humans started to consider the third energy revolution without thoroughly studying antimatter energy?"

"It is impossible for humans to complete the third energy revolution at this stage, but it does not hinder us from moving in this direction. Researching antimatter energy and studying the third energy revolution will not conflict." Yang Yuping replied.

"That's right. If there is progress in research, maybe we can overtake on the curve." Fang Yuan said in a joking tone.

"Yes, maybe I can overtake on the curve." Yang Yuping also smiled and repeated.
