#375 - Chapter 375 Energy Shield

The so-called interception of physical attacks refers to intercepting attack types that use physical objects as carriers, such as airplanes, bullets, and shells. However, biochemical and energy-based attacks cannot be defended against.

"It's still not safe enough. In their eyes, the signal tower has withstood the dung beetle's attack. So, if I'm not mistaken, they will definitely continue to try various methods to find effective ways to counter it."

"For us, the signal tower is a symbol. It represents invincibility and inviolability, so it absolutely cannot have any problems," Dongfang Chen said, shaking his head.

The 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, which can only work temporarily.

"If we want to achieve comprehensive protection, we need to unlock new technologies," Xiaolin replied.

"Which technology?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"Controllable molecular resonance technology, also known as the energy shield," Xiaolin replied.

"Check the technology tree and mark the prerequisites for activating this technology," Dongfang Chen said, showing interest.

This is great. With an energy shield, the base in Barto City will be absolutely safe.

"Okay, Commander, the panel is open. Please check it," Xiaolin said.

"3D nano-printing technology, high-temperature superconducting technology, weak force compression technology..." Dongfang Chen read out the items on the panel one by one.

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

3D Nano-Printing Technology.

Precision: 0.5 - 10 nanometers.

Accurately prints materials according to the molecular formula and element doping ratio set by the program.

The description is simple, but Dongfang Chen knew that this technology was not simple at all.

Printing compounds directly according to the 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 micro level, directly eliminating production processes such as material purification, synthesis, and smelting. The advantage of doing this is extremely high purity and extremely stable performance.

Note that there are two key words here: basically and extremely. That is to say, the accuracy of this technology is still somewhat insufficient, but it is enough for producing the materials needed for the energy shield.

Also, this technology is fundamentally different 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 consideration of the bond energy between atoms, which looks like a physical process and also like a chemical process.

Of course, to realize this 3D nano-printing technology, raw materials are definitely needed. This requires other technologies to refine these simple substances.

Other technologies, such as high-temperature superconducting technology and weak force compression technology, were all unheard of by Dongfang Chen.

Corresponding to these technologies, the main production modules that Dongfang Chen needs to add to the base include: high-purity simple substance element production module, weak force compression module, strong beam container production module, superconducting material production module, ... and more than 10 other modules.

With the technological achievements of the entire Nata civilization, Dongfang Chen doesn't need to use his brain or engage in research and development. He only needs to build the corresponding production modules according to the technical data to activate these technologies.

Moreover, he doesn't need to put in any effort in the construction process. He only needs to make decisions and issue instructions.

The working principle of the energy shield is as follows.

First, a core controller is needed, called a: strong beam pulse resonator.

Using controllable molecular resonance technology, a protective molecular 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 the composition is a simple substance molecule: radon.

The operation of the shield requires a lot of energy, so it is not normally turned on, which is called the ground state.

In the ground state, this protective layer seems to be completely non-existent, and any substance, including air, can easily penetrate it. But in the excited state, any substance that approaches the shield will be unloaded or even erased.

Unloading energy requires less energy. The working principle is the same as Tai Chi. After an object hits the shield at high speed, the energy shield is activated and enters the excited state. The kinetic energy of the object is absorbed by the high-speed moving molecules on the shield and spread to other parts of the shield through vibration, thereby achieving energy unloading.

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

Erasing requires more energy. Radon molecules on the shield have a large atomic mass. After entering the excited state, they obtain kinetic energy for high-speed movement. Once it comes into contact with an object, it will instantly molecularize it, resulting in an effect similar to erasing.

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

Its range of use is very wide, from a small protective suit to a large city, even a country, a planet, as long as there is a large enough strong beam pulse resonator and enough energy, it can protect everything. Of course, this also includes space stations and starships.
