After eating and chatting for a while, the two returned to the base.

Over the past year, they had rarely lived in the dormitories. The reason was simple: there was plenty of open space in the biological warehouse at the base, and the Queen and Miaoshou had planted many high-yield genetically modified fruits and vegetables, just like a private plot of land.

Other items can be ordered for delivery to Grandma Mao’s house, and she has everything you want.

There are rooms, food, and the laboratory is in the same building. Who would still go to the dormitory?

"Pidan! Come here and help us solve our problems!" The chef brought the iced mint lemon tea he had borrowed from Grandma Mao's house and hooked his finger at Pidan.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Boss asked us to mine Sun Ore, and we're a little confused!"

"How much have you thought of?" Pi Dan guessed that they had thought of all the simple ones, so asking would save time.

"All we can think of is receiving solar energy, but Boss doesn't seem to want to do that!"

"What did the Boss actually say?"

"They didn't say anything, just called it the development of new energy." The miner frowned. "Solar energy can't be considered a new energy source, so they're confused!"

"You came to me to ask something. You must have thought of something, right? Something related to nanotechnology or quantum physics?"

"We were just thinking about the production of new heavy particles by the fusion of solar particles, so we thought you might know something." The miner nodded.

"That's right! You who study quantum physics have very different understandings of the universe from those who study geology!"

"Yeah!" Pi Dan nodded. "Quantum physics originally emerged as an independent entity due to the anti-classical physics phenomena in the microscopic world..."

"Don't talk about theory. This fat guy falls asleep as soon as you start talking! Tell me something useful?" The miner reminded Pi Dan.

"You just mentioned heavy particles. Do you know the characteristics of heavy particles?"

"Heavy particles are large in size, which means they don't exist! I don't know anything else!" The miner said his superficial understanding.

"Almost! In theory, heavy particles are common in stars, but no one has ever seen them. In practice, they were artificially created at the beginning of the century. But..."

"But what?"

"But it's hard to collect!" Pi Dan said honestly, "After the heavy particles are created, they only last for a few hundred billionths of a second!"

"How many seconds?" The chef felt that this time was unimaginably short!

"Where did you go?" asked the miner.

"It's unstable. It decomposes immediately after it is formed!" Pi Dan spread his hands.

“What did it break down into?”

"Energy and small particles! That energy is truly enormous! The energy of a single heavy particle can be detected within the wavelength range. If there are tens of thousands of them, they can create a small black hole!"

"So powerful?" The chef was dumbfounded. However, as a chemist, decomposition and synthesis were his domain. "If it can be decomposed, it should be possible to synthesize it, right?"

"In theory, yes, but there are too many variables. Even in a vacuum environment, it is not necessarily possible to integrate all of them into one point. Moreover, we don't know what external force to use for catalysis!" Pi Dan told them that heavy particles are just floating clouds and their true identity is difficult to discern!

"I think I know!" The chef was no longer stupid.

"What do you know?" asked the miner.

"I think Boss might be trying to get us to find the naturally occurring heavy particle clusters in the sun," the chef explained. "If the energy released is inversely proportional to the energy required to gather it, this repetitive process could become a perpetual energy source!"

"Unfortunately, this is just a theory!" Pi Dan added, "This theory was proposed last century, and the only one who successfully cracked it was Tony Stark in the science fiction world!"

"Who?" The chef had never heard of such a person in the scientific community.

"Iron Man! You are so ignorant! Even a child knows this, okay?" The miner wondered if the chef had no childhood.

"Uh... I don't like watching Marvel comics! I don't like watching movies either, it's a waste of time!" The chef thought it was nothing strange not to know these things!

"Forget it, let's look at these old movies first, maybe they can give us some inspiration." The miner felt that this was very much what the Boss intended.

I already knew that Boss was a movie fan, maybe he got his ideas from movies?

They were right! When Lawrence Lu thought of perpetual motion energy, the first thing that came to his mind was Iron Man's invention!

Grandpa Lu Nancheng is a Marvel fan. He has watched countless Marvel movies in his grandfather's audio-visual room since he was a child. Many of his boundless ideas are derived from these movies!

If we really want to collect heavy particles and lock them up to become perpetual energy, it will not be a matter of one or two days!

Iron Man was built in just a few days, but that's because he's a fictional character! Reality is always a competition between experience, technology, and time.

The chefs thought of this and consulted Lawrence Lu before starting their research. They couldn't work in vain!

"Yes, that's what I thought! It seems you are not stupid! Come on!" Lu Guansheng teased them.

"Boss! Are you asking us to complete the impossible? Pidan said that heavy particles are not easy to collect!"

"Just because it's not easy doesn't mean it's impossible!" Lu Guansheng used his own ideas to inspire them. "Before the hydrogen bomb was invented, it was also considered impossible, but wasn't it built?"

"That's different, isn't it? How can you locate it in a few hundred billionths of a second?"

"It's not easy to artificially locate a single star, but stars in nature continue this repetitive process!" Lu Guansheng began his reverse reasoning. "If we can grasp the principle of stellar spontaneous combustion and minimize and contain this process, then there will be a constant flow of heavy particles!"
