Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 259 Multiple Dreams
In any case, the year 57 of the New Era was a year of great harvest for the Blue Star civilization. The discovery of the Barnard Galaxy ignited humanity's desire to explore the outside world, and Guo Zhe became a famous figure like Luo Yinxi, Chu Tianshu, Gao Xiaping, and others.

Although there are no practical benefits, this sense of recognition from one's own kind can bring an individual an extremely pleasant feeling!

Jiang Fan's sudden idea of ​​creating consciousness filled him with inexplicable fear, and he even had a nightmare that night. Xi Ling didn't sleep a wink, her warm body embracing her man the whole time, her expression somewhat helpless.

When Jiang Fan woke up, his forehead was covered in sweat, as if he had just come out of the water. Xi Ling's melodious voice was filled with concern and unease.
"what happened to you?"

Jiang Fan frowned as if he were in great pain, but it wasn't actually pain; he was recalling the contents of his dream.

"I dreamt that I was having a dream, but I couldn't remember what I dreamt about, so I kept trying to remember it, and I kept going through a dream within a dream,"

"I kept thinking, but I still couldn't remember. I entered the next layer of the dream, and this cycle continued without me waking up. I don't even know what I dreamed about now."

Double dreams, also known as dreams within dreams or multiple dreams, are dreams within dreams within dreams. Dreaming is one of the mysteries that humankind has yet to unravel.

As a data life form, Xiling doesn't dream at all and can't understand Jiang Fan's feelings, as if he were bound by layer upon layer of spider webs, and the more he struggled, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Are you feeling better now?

Jiang Fan relaxed his brows, no longer troubled. There were many things he couldn't understand. He rolled over and hugged Xiling, holding the exquisitely beautiful girl in his arms, feeling the real touch.
"It's much better if you don't think about it."

Xiling's worried expression gradually relaxed, and she hugged the man back without reservation. The two were so intimate that there was no gap between them, as if they were one.

When they woke up in the morning, they found that they were covered in dried sweat and felt uncomfortable on their skin. They urged each other to get up and take a shower, which, needless to say, was a couple's shower.

To be precise, ever since they broke through that barrier, Jiang Fan has never taken a shower alone; Xi Ling is always by his side.

The essence of love may not be intensity, but rather constancy.

Jiang Fan and Xi Ling spent every day together and exercised daily. According to some sayings from the previous era, such as love turning into familial affection after the initial excitement fades, they should have already entered that state.
But in reality, the two were always inseparable. Even when they had nothing to do, they would feel very comfortable just quietly embracing each other and watching the sunset.

Couples like Luo Ji and Zhuang Yan, Ding Yi and Hu Yuhan, and Lin Bailan and Zhang Ruoqian are all examples of this.

Love has been redefined in the new era, and there are very few romance films in the film and television industry now, because there are so many, and the ones made up don't even match the actual intimacy between real people. Who would watch them?

In the 58th year of the new era, Earth entered the Blue Star.
The gene engine project continued to advance, construction of the Ice City returned to high speed, the information interference protection network was gradually improved, and the roaming operation began launching new long-range ships. The addition of the Trisolaran race seemed to have no impact whatsoever, which was largely due to the Trisolarans's ideology.
They don't go looking for trouble. After finishing their tasks, they often stroll alone in parks or woods, enjoying the warmth of the sun, the fragrance of the grass, and appreciating the richness of life.

It's quite absurd, really. After the humans on Earth discovered this phenomenon, all the single men and women started pretending to bump into each other.
These chance encounters were clearly very deliberate, but the Trisolarans believed whatever they were told, and so a wonderful time of meeting began, and they almost always ended up as a couple.

To date, there has never been a single instance of a couple between humans and the Trisolarans breaking up, which is simply unbelievable.

Even humans sometimes break up; society always has a dark side, however rare it may be.
Jiang Fan didn't intend to crack down on this phenomenon because Xiling was overseeing it.

As long as these people don't harm simple-minded individuals like the Trisolarans, then let them be restless.

Time passes slowly, and if one cannot find meaning in life, one will eventually perish in nothingness.

Energy infrastructure projects in the Trisolaran system are also thriving.
Three stars would be a terrifying catastrophe for survival, but from an energy perspective, it's even more exaggerated than the solar system!
The Trisolaran civilization has made full use of stellar energy, but it is not enough. It needs to go through many engineering steps to convert stellar energy into directly usable electrical or thermal energy.

Humanity possesses a truly overpowered technology: the antimatter preparation station, which is completed under the guidance of bubbles.

The principle is very complex, involving various quantum activities and even vacuum tides.

However, the principle of exchange remains unchanged; this involves using nuclear energy to inversely influence vacuum energy, thereby splitting off antimatter.
Simply put, it involves using nuclear fusion to produce antimatter. The conversion rate is very low; one ton of fusion material needs to react completely to produce only 0.1 kilograms of antimatter.
Based on the fusion effect's mass-to-energy conversion ratio of 0.7%, one ton of fusion material should have 7 kilograms completely converted into energy.
The near-percentage mass-energy conversion ratio of the matter-antimatter annihilation effect means that half of the energy converted from the seven kilograms of fusion matter should be converted into antimatter to maintain mass-energy balance, i.e., produce three kilograms of antimatter.

However, in real-world engineering, numerous other steps dissipate energy, making it virtually impossible to achieve the ideal conversion ratio; the actual efficiency is only one-tenth of the theoretical efficiency.

The two mass-energy conversion processes result in an exponential increase in consumption, with the final product being only three-thousandths of the theoretical amount.

Despite this, this method remains the best energy storage method currently available to humankind!
The main challenge in energy utilization lies in storage!
Otherwise, there would be no energy crisis at all, because a star can burn for billions of years, radiating trillions of joules of energy every moment!
If we could store all the energy from solar radiation for more than a decade, then even if all of humanity used worm bridge technology, we could still afford it!
However, it's not possible. Energy storage technology isn't advanced enough, and for a long time, human energy storage tools weren't as powerful as plant photosynthesis until the emergence of antimatter broke this pattern.

Antimatter is a near-perfect energy storage substance because of its 100% mass-energy conversion rate. Although it requires advanced technology to utilize, if it can be used, then it is absolutely useful.

Therefore, after the antimatter preparation station appeared, humanity converted all the excess energy into antimatter. Otherwise, how could they have used the ultimate move in the war to liberate the Trisolaran civilization?
The Trisolaran civilization also had antimatter production technology, but Bubble's technology was many times more advanced than that of the Trisolaran civilization!
In terms of conversion rate, Bubble's technology is one three-hundredth of the theoretical rate, while the Trisolaran civilization's technology is about one ten-thousandth. In the last century, the conversion rate of antimatter prepared by mankind reached a terrifying one five-hundred-millionth.
