For Chen Chen, with room-temperature superconductor technology, many technical problems would also be easily solved.
For example, the T-800's frictionless bearing was a magnetic levitation technology that achieved no power consumption through room-temperature superconductors, so that the joint parts of the T-800 robot would always be in a state of no wear and tear. This instantly improved Chen Chen's robotics technology by a large margin.
Another example was electromagnetic weapons. Only superconductors could achieve a strong magnetic field with zero resistance. However, low-temperature superconductors had very strict environmental requirements and poor flexibility, which made it impossible for electromagnetic weapons to be miniaturized and lightweight.
However, with room-temperature superconductors, true lightweight electromagnetic weapons could be created, even an electromagnetic pistol the size of a palm. At the same time, the special characteristics of superconductors meant that there was no need to worry about excessive resistance in the gun causing the coil to burn.
In the movie Elysium, it was precisely because of the advantages of room-temperature superconductors that there were a large number of electromagnetic weapons such as "Cousar Crowe Pulse Rifle", "Cousar Crowe Aerial Sweeper", "Askari Kaman Railgun", and "Askari Electromagnetic Cannon".
Moreover, with this room-temperature superconductor, Chen Chen also had the confidence to study nuclear fusion reactors and the Hadron Collider. It was very likely that the world's first true nuclear fusion reactor would be born in Chen Chen's hands...
Moreover, the room-temperature superconductor produced by this ceramic chemical factory was only one of the cutting-edge technologies that Chen Chen currently possessed. Next to this factory was a fuel cell factory.
Inside it was the technology of Elysium's dimension combined with Terminator technology to create a high-efficiency hydrogen fuel cell.
Other than that, the other electronics factories and machinery factories also had their own research projects. Some were in charge of researching high-offset metals while others were in charge of researching inertial dampers. These factories did not appear to be anything special from the outside, but they were closely monitored by Little X. The entire industrial park was filled with cameras and drones, and they were also secretly protected by fully-armed Black Knights twenty-four hours a day.
However, there were not enough Black Knights after all, so long ago, Chen Chen had divided a factory to be responsible for the research of a type of drone in Elysium's dimension.
It was a spy drone called a "UAV." It looked like a frisbee and was silent, low energy consumption, and small in size. It only appeared at the beginning of the movie, and its name was only recorded in the movie's settings.
The production of a movie required a complete worldview. For example, in the Terminator series, the inertial dampers, frictionless bearings, and the fact that the Terminator battery could last for more than 120 years were all official features that could be found on Wikipedia.
In order to mass-produce this spy drone, Chen Chen purposely took out two drones from Elysium as models. The UAV in the movie had a diameter of 1.1 meters and a thickness of 0.25 meters. It could cruise at 120 kilometers per hour and was powered by four sets of plasma pulse (EPPP) vector propulsion units.
In order to replicate this device, Chen Chen sent two high-precision machine tools over. However, some technical issues had not been solved for the time being. It might take some time before they could truly replicate this drone.
These factories with all kinds of secret research were located at the back of the industrial park. Chen Chen designed a hidden line of defense in the industrial park. It was loose on the outside but tight on the inside. These secret factories were located behind the line of defense. The open area in front of the line of defense was an electronic assembly plant that employed 10,000 people.
These electronic assembly plants would be used to assemble some gadgets. The reason for this was to hide their secret factories behind the bustling assembly plants of ten thousand workers. Secondly, they could also hire some local residents to increase Blacklight Biotechnology's influence in Namibia.
After the Blacklight virus attack, the population of Namibia had dropped below two million. These assembly plants could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, which was equivalent to controlling ten percent of the country's employment.
This was another bargaining chip to deal with the Namibian government. Its importance was even greater than making money. If one day, the Namibian government decided to cut their losses, they would have to think twice.
This was because if they made a move against Blacklight Biotechnology, they would suffer an economic blow and even cause ten percent of the country's people to immediately lose their jobs.
At this time, Blacklight Biotechnology had become an existence that the Namibian government could not afford to offend.
After leaving the ceramic chemical factory that produced yttrium barium copper oxide, Chen Chen returned to the car.
Cheng Cao also got into the car and asked, "Boss, are we going to the fuel cell factory next door now?"
"No need, we'll go straight to the Spire Experimental Base."
Chen Chen waved his hand. He had received a message from Little X. Little X monitored the entire Eco Science City 24/7. It had notified Chen Chen when the fuel cell was manufactured. At this time, the professor in charge of the fuel cell research had already gone to the Spire Experimental Base to hand over the first sample to Chen Chen.
Soon, Chen Chen returned to the Spire Experimental Base and saw this professor named Joseph.
As early as half a year ago, when Chen Chen was preparing to enter the heavy industry, he had poached a large number of engineering professors. After much consideration, a group of professors was finally retained.
These professors were also implanted with the God chip and joined God's Forbidden Zone. What they received was access to cutting-edge technology and the possibility of immortality.
This was a win-win deal.
"Mr. Chen, we've accomplished our mission. We've successfully replicated this new fuel cell based on the model you provided."
As he spoke, he took out several shiny, silver-white cylinders of varying thicknesses and placed them in front of Chen Chen.
Chen Chen took them and asked, "How's the performance of these hydrogen batteries?"
"The hydrogen battery model with a diameter of 1.5 centimeters and a length of 10 centimeters has an instantaneous discharge voltage of 200V. The hydrogen battery model with a diameter of 3 centimeters and a length of 20 centimeters has an instantaneous discharge voltage of 400V. These can be adjusted according to the model. The thermal efficiency can reach up to 80 percent, just in line with your requirements."
Professor Joseph answered.
"Very good!"
Chen Chen was overjoyed. These hydrogen batteries were classified as fuel cells. They were a type of power generation device that directly converted the chemical energy of fuel and oxidizer into electricity through an electrochemical reaction. In theory, they could operate at a thermal efficiency of close to 100 percent, which was extremely efficient.
The technology and model Chen Chen provided to Joseph was the hydrogen fuel cell of the T-800, which had a thermal efficiency of 95 percent. It was to be expected that the performance of Joseph's replicated fuel cell was not as good as Joseph's. This was partly due to material defects.
The most important component of a fuel cell was a device called the electrolyte diaphragm. Its main function was to separate the oxidizer and reducing agent and conduct ions. Therefore, the thinner the electrolyte diaphragm, the better. Chen Chen's technology was not at the level of Terminator at all, so the efficiency of the battery was greatly reduced.
In addition, to reduce the size of the fuel cell so that it could be used in weapons, Chen Chen also eliminated the hydrogen collector. In truth, this collector was one of the most powerful technologies in Terminator's dimension.
However, to Chen Chen, the battery could be manually replaced after all, so the collector was not too important in the short term. At most, it would reduce the battery's endurance to a certain extent.
Now that Chen Chen had a superconducting material at room temperature and a hydrogen fuel cell that could support a high voltage, he was only left with the final material – high-offset metal.
By combining these three technologies, Chen Chen would be able to use superconducting materials as coils, hydrogen batteries as power sources, and high-offset metals as rifling. With these, he would be able to mass-produce the powerful electromagnetic weapons in Elysium.
