Chapter 7 Chapter Six

Jenkins has read these passages over and over a hundred times since he was a child, and they have shaped the course of his life since.Even now, he drives a rusty Goodbye.The abbreviation was actually when a dying person was carrying a group of people with the same fate, those flashing words still clearly appeared in his mind. "The new decree issued by the trusteeship government banning all CT research is the wrong source of this disaster." Brian continues in the first chapter of "Endless Energy", "By this dogmatic folly, the giants of Interstellar Corporation The plutocrats have denied humanity access to the solar system's most abundant resources.

"The meteor group is an energy bank, and its energy reserves far exceed human imagination. The latest exploration results show that nearly one-eighth of the mass of the asteroid group is useful CT. Einstein once calculated that every ton CT collides with another ton of material meteor, and the energy generated is as high as 5 billion kWh, which is nearly 10 billion times higher than the steam energy generated by burning a ton of coal." "There are people who can conquer CT!" Brian does not explicitly name these people in the book, because it is still illegal to engage in CT research.

"As long as the High Council gives them a chance, these two asteroids will definitely be able to conquer the CT Meteor." This is what Brian said when answering his question, "If they are Earthlings, maybe they still have a chance. " "You are from Earth." After reading that book, Nick had long admired his uncle, "Aren't you just as good as them, why don't you try?" "Nick, I'm no match for them," my uncle shook his head gravely. "I may only be a little more educated than Derek, but I'm never as persistent as he is. He After the invention of the CT indicator, it took four years just to sign a contract for placement. Those self-righteous high commissioners neither believed that reflected sunlight could be used as an indicator signal, nor that inertial mirrors alone could set the correct speed Turning, not to believe that the indicator can still operate accurately after entering the orbit of the meteor swarm. In the end, Drake spent all the money he and his friends had, built and installed a demonstration model, and then signed the contract.”

"I have never done anything so persistently."Brian shrugged easily, "I'll definitely turn to other things and let those meteors continue to destroy the spaceship. Besides, I don't have Mackey to help." "Who's Mackey?" Nick couldn't wait to find out more. "Another engineer?" "Not exactly." Brian stopped, frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "A dwarf, ugly and timid, but a natural driver. Drake said Mackey's family has Lived on the asteroid for several generations, their evolution was exacerbated by the intense radiation from the reactors and small CT explosions. Maybe nature will eventually push humans to adapt to life in space." A puzzled look appeared in the uncle's eyes.

"Munchie isn't really an engineer," he said with awe. "He can barely write his name, and I'm afraid he hasn't taken a day of school. He always feels awkward being around people, even He also felt uncomfortable on the Burroughs group, and was even more afraid of coming to Earth. A professor tried to take him back, but he said it would hurt his brain." Bryce looked at the book on the glass table, frowned. frowning. "McGee is always at ease in space, that's what makes him different. Meet him, and you can't say he's brilliant, or even smart; but he seems to have a new sense and a different personality. A different brain. The professor thinks it's a genetic variant, the original human adaptation to the new environment of space."

Nick wondered, "What makes him different?" "From the outside, he was no different, an ugly little ordinary man. Yet he had extraordinary abilities. He could tell the time without looking at a watch, and find out his exact position in space without any instruments. He also He can see the exact mass and speed of any asteroid at a glance. Without the help of maps, radar, or even telescopes, he can also drive a tugboat through meteorites without any marks. He can also answer my questions casually. The most complicated space flight problem. The most amazing thing is that even the spectroscopic camera can't tell whether the meteor is CT or material."

Nick sometimes suspected that his uncle's stories were too mysterious, but now.Hearing his confused tone and seeing his confused expression, I couldn't help but believe it: "It's really a useful talent." "McGee is a very useful person," Brian's eyes showed a hint of eagerness, "I had asked him to cooperate with me and promised millions of dollars, but he refused, and still helped Drake place the Those indicators. He said Drake needed him more. That's true." "As the asteroid people, they were able to sign the deployment contract, and Mackey contributed a lot. The indicator placed by Drake and I accidentally deviated from the orbit, and led the spacecraft into the meteor group by mistake. Mackey was able to Take the tugboat, get as close to the meteor stream as anyone else dares to go, push the indicator into orbit, and the accuracy of that position will take someone else to calculate for a week, and that is Mackey!" Brian He suddenly shrugged his shoulders, as if trying to put aside this unsolved mystery.He picked up the book on the table and flipped through it.

"People can conquer CT meteors," he said softly, "people like them. I've seen Druk's mechanical drawings. The machine is mounted on a material base. I also saw the scene when Mackey piloted the spaceship to capture the CT meteor and make a way for Liberty Star through the meteor shower. "People like them will definitely be able to conquer CT. Drake has already drawn up the design of a small CT reactor. As long as the trusteeship committee gives them a chance, Drake will be able to create a CT machine with the help of Mackey. Produce the CT parts, create the reactor, all of these processes are operated remotely. And I can solve the energy transmission problem." Brian paused, frowning for a while and looked at the formulas and drawings in the next few chapters, and finally, he was heavy. Nodding, she slammed the book shut, as if impatient.

"I've learned a lot since writing this book," he said, with another easy laugh. "I believed in the Fifth Freedom, but I quickly forgot it." When they got to the side, they stood up restlessly, "Now let's go out and find something to do." Jenkins has long since forgotten how they played that day, but every word his uncle wrote about the Fifth Freedom was imprinted on him. In my mind, it is still clear, and it is still exciting to recall. "This most horrific mistake could still be undone," Bryan wrote. "The enormous energy of the meteor swarms could be converted into electricity for human use. There are many technical problems to make a successful CT reactor, but space engineers They will solve it one by one, as long as the heads of the interstellar company allow them to engage in research in this area.

"Since they may build reactors and generators, the author of this article wants to talk about the next stage of CT technology - the problem of energy transmission. Since the CT machinery for power generation will react with air, this endless energy can only Generated on the frontiers of space, most of the energy is used by material planets. "Thus, transmission has become the greatest difficulty. In the vast expanse of space, it is impossible to erect cables. Ever since humans received the first radio signal, engineers have dreamed of using radio signals to transmit energy. I have a different idea o "Maxie was the first to discover the secondary inverse gravitational field produced by sunspots.From this major discovery, the author got a little enlightenment.

"This inverse gravitational field can also absorb huge CT energy sent from special transmitters, thereby becoming a long-lived energy wave large enough to encompass the entire solar system. "This particular energy field loses a certain amount of energy due to the interference of the mass of the sun and planets, but this loss does not add up to one percent of the total sent. Any simple converter can get any energy from any of the energy fields. Locations capture the electrical energy needed for everything from a child's toy to a spaceship. "As long as Interstellar can relax the restrictions on CT technology, the author hopes to immediately establish a non-profit organization responsible for manufacturing transmitters and CT reactors. "It costs almost nothing to run such a company. CT meteors in space are inexhaustible, and almost all equipment is automatically operated. The entire energy supply can be truly free. "CT energy must be free! "This energy freedom is now possible. It protects other freedoms for which humanity has struggled and failed. Most of humanity's evils and misfortunes stem from a lack of energy. "The authorities of Interstellar Corporation are still abusing legal means, trying every means to prevent human beings from obtaining this kind of abundant energy, in an attempt to push human beings into the abyss of the CT war. "Life on all planets is now powered by nuclear energy and there is not enough energy metal. A widening energy crisis is bound to heighten interplanetary tensions, and by then the precarious peace that the Trustees are trying to maintain is bound to Corrupted and neglected in peace, a CT is sure to be a formidable weapon in war."
