Homo sapiens.

Sanmu City is on the mountainside on the west side of Pawunis Mountain.

At this time, Li Feng, the city manager of Sanmu City, was accompanying Jiang Mingxuan, the head of the Science Business Department, and Dr. Joseph Uri, a researcher of nuclear physics, on the viewing platform on the west side of Sanmu City.

A piece of red Mars, above the vast land, is an endless sandstone.

In the sky, hung a light blue sun.

The three of them were directly exposed to the atmosphere on the surface of Mars. The new generation of space suits, after absorbing the technology of the six-claw civilization and the omnic civilization, can already be made light and thin.

The tactile sensing system on the surface of this spacesuit can realize the super-extension of the body feeling, and it will not feel obvious barrier feeling when wearing it.

Jiang Mingxuan turned his head and asked, "Doctor, Mars should meet the requirements, right?"

Dr. Joseph Uri nodded: "Mars is indeed possible, but the difficulty of this project is a bit high, and a large part of manpower resources may need to be mobilized."

However, Jiang Mingxuan smiled and shook his head: "Doctor, you are too immersed in theoretical research. The current company and the company a year ago have two levels of existence."

"Oh? Is there another new technology?" Dr. Joseph Uri was very curious.

Jiang Mingxuan took a suitcase from his assistant, and after entering the exclusive key, the suitcase popped open slowly, and a 500ml glass bottle was frozen inside.

Seeing the silver-gray particles in the glass bottle, Dr. Joseph Uri asked curiously: "Mr. Minister, what is this?"

"Life Metal."

"Life Metal?"

Jiang Mingxuan threw the glass bottle directly off the viewing platform.

Falling down from the viewing platform at a height of several hundred meters, the glass bottle was immediately shattered, and the silver-gray particles were scattered on the surrounding rocks and sand.

He turned his head and told his assistant, "Let the energy city in the asteroid belt start supplying energy!"

"Yes."

In the asteroid belt 2.8 million kilometers away from Mars, there is a space city—Energy City.

Energy City, as the name implies, is a city that produces energy.

This space city uses water-ice asteroids in the asteroid belt as nuclear fuel to produce electricity on a large scale.

Then use the magnetic monopole crystal as an energy transmission system to realize long-distance transmission of electric energy.

After receiving the order from the Science Division, the long-distance power supply service with order number 2088 was officially launched.

As a steady stream of electric energy is delivered to the vicinity of Mount Paunis on Mars, the magnetic monopole crystals in the living metals quickly provide energy for the living metals.

This version of Biometal is a preliminary improvement of the Homo sapiens company. The degree of improvement is not too much, and only an auxiliary magnetic monopolar crystal function is added.

Magnetic monopolar crystal technology is a unique technology of Homo Sapiens, and neither the six-claw civilization nor the omnic civilization has related technology.

As for quantum communication, neither of these two civilizations has figured it out.

The Homo sapiens company's magnetic monopolar crystal technology has finally made a breakthrough after absorbing part of the technology of the omnic civilization recently.

However, this breakthrough is not the extension of the service life of the magnetic monopole crystal, but the acquisition of long-distance multiplication technology.

Through this technology, although the magnetic monopole crystal still only has a service life of about 20 years, it can make two magnetic monopole crystals that attract each other Achieving synchronous self-propagation.

The magnetic monopole crystal self-propagating in this way has the ability of long-distance communication and long-distance power transmission, and its service life is about 20 years.

That is to say, even if it flies to the edge of the universe, two magnetic monopole crystals that attract each other can self-proliferate through synchronization, ensuring that the communication will never be interrupted.

This technology is a new technology developed by drawing lessons from the self-reproduction mechanism of life metals, coupled with the in-depth research on the principles of Homo sapiens' magnetic monopole crystal communication and power transmission.

Through this technology, the life metal particles thrown down by Jiang Mingxuan just obtained a steady stream of energy. With the help of this energy, the life metal quickly extracted various elements from the surrounding rocks and sand.

Less than an hour.

The living metal particles doubled every 5 minutes, multiplying crazily on the surface around Pawunis Mountain.

一个小时就增加了1×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2……连续翻倍了12次，总增殖倍数达到4096倍。

The initial life metal weighed only 5.7 kilograms, but now it has reached more than 20 tons.

Looking at the silver-gray at the foot of the mountain, Dr. Joseph Uri's eyes showed disbelief: "This speed can cover the entire surface of Mars in just a few days!"

Jiang Mingxuan explained with a smile: "That's right, after life metals and magnetic monopole crystals are added, since they have obtained sufficient energy, they no longer need to find energy by themselves, so their reproduction speed is very fast."

"Of course, due to the limited tungsten resources on the surface, the expansion rate will slow down in the later stage, but we don't need them to cover the entire Mars. As long as their proliferation scale reaches 1000 billion tons, they can stop."

In fact, the Homo sapiens version of life-metal is much more powerful than the version of omnic civilization.

The synchronous resonance power transmission of the magnetic monopole crystal alone has increased the reproduction speed of the Homo sapiens version of life metal by several orders of magnitude.

Dr. Joseph Uri asked: "Mr. Minister, these things are a bit like nano-robots, can they be used in construction projects?"

"Biological metals are essentially nano-robots, and of course they can be used in engineering construction. This is why I am sure to build the Mars Star Ring project at a low cost and quickly." Jiang Mingxuan looked down at the ground at the foot of the mountain, and the silver gray was still spreading wildly.

He chose Mount Paunis as the initial location because Mount Paunis, a volcanic relic, contains a large amount of tungsten, which can be used as a raw material for the reproduction of life metals.

Jiang Mingxuan looked at the data on the holographic page: "It is estimated that in a few days or so, life metals can reach 1000 billion tons, and then we can start building Mars star rings."

"I'll wait and see." Joseph Uri was also secretly excited.

Chapter 651 Star Ring

Less than three days.

The scale of living metals on the surface of Mars has expanded to 1000 billion tons.

Including the surface of the entire Sanmu Mountains and the strata about 1.5 meters underground, the tungsten element contained in it has been evacuated.

Although the proportion of tungsten used in life metals is only about 7.2%, 1000 billion tons of life metals still need to consume 72 billion tons of tungsten.

If it weren't for the excavation of a large number of volcanic remains underground, it might not be possible to gather such a large amount of tungsten.

When the scale of life metal reached 1000 billion tons, the staff quickly adjusted the control procedures of life metal, so that life metal stopped self-reproduction, and then began to build the Mars star ring.

The Martian star ring surrounds the entire Martian equator. This thing is actually a large particle collider.

The reason why such a huge particle collider is built is that the current nuclear physics has reached the limit of its development.

Although it has absorbed part of the physics knowledge of the six-claw civilization and the omnic civilization, the physics of these two civilizations is not much higher than that of Homo sapiens.

At least Homo sapiens discovered the quark's lower particle - the primordial.

However, the six-claw civilization did not discover the first child.

Omnic civilization has discovered primordial particles, but they are only theoretical research, not to mention the application of primordial particles, even the application of quarks is impossible, and even neutron and proton-level technologies are very few.

In basic physics, theory often comes first, but there is a serious separation between application and theory.

This is a problem that all first-level civilizations must face.

In Li Qingye's view, it is true that the first-level civilization needs to advance to the second-level civilization, and the cutting-edge physical theories at this stage are almost enough.

The problem is that from theory to application, this is a difficult gap to bridge.

For example, at this time, Homo sapiens already has a lot of understanding about the first child, and even has various theoretical models, but it is impossible to transform these theories into applications.

There are not even a few applications at the proton and neutron level.

If Homo sapiens can realize the theory of neutron proton-quark-primitives to application, then it is estimated that Homo sapiens is not far from the second-level civilization.

This is also the common conclusion of a group of scientists in the current Science Division.

With the materials at this stage, there is no way to achieve faster-than-light travel, and even 10% of the speed of light is very difficult.

The fastest spaceship of the omnic civilization that conquered tens of thousands of planetary systems was only 8% of the speed of light, while the quasi-secondary civilization that defeated the omnic civilization had the fastest spaceship of 32% of the speed of light.

After Homo sapiens absorbs the technology of the omnic civilization, it is actually very difficult to achieve a sailing speed of 8% of the speed of light.

Because the navigation technology of the omnic civilization is not simply plasma propulsion and controllable nuclear fusion, but opportunistic.

The omnic civilization used the gravitational slingshot of the black hole, coupled with various auxiliary technologies, to barely reach 8% of the speed of light.

And there are no black holes in the vicinity of the solar system. Even if there are many black holes in the Milky Way, it will take at least a few hundred thousand years for the spacecraft of Homo sapiens to fly over.

This technology is really tasteless.

After absorbing the technology of the omnic civilization, Homo sapiens' spaceship can reach 3.5% of the speed of light at the fastest.

At this speed, go to the six-claw giant star or the neighboring system to play, and forget about other planetary systems around it.

Instead of traveling hundreds of years to other planetary systems, it is better to continue researching and developing technology in the solar system. As long as neutron materials, quark materials, and even primordial materials are selected, Homo sapiens will probably be a quasi-secondary civilization by then.

The purpose of building the Mars Ring Large Particle Collider is to further clarify the physical properties of quarks and primons.

Only by thoroughly understanding the physical properties of these particles can it be possible to use these particles.

The previous particle colliders on the earth and the moon were too small, and the particle acceleration speed and particle energy level were not enough to knock out primary particles.

In addition, the Mars Star Ring Large Particle Collider has other tasks, such as studying black hole physics, gravitational waves, neutrinos, dark matter and the like.

As life metal began to transfer to the engineering construction stage.

Starting from the Sanmu City of Pawunis Mountain, a huge pipeline was quickly built along the equator to the east and west sides.

Its construction speed has reached an unprecedented level.

Since the Mars star ring pipeline has six-claw silicon steel as the core component, what is the most on the surface of Mars?Hematite sand and silicates, of course.

These two materials are more readily available than elements such as tungsten and rhodium.

Therefore, with the full energy supply support of the Energy City, the life metals on Mars can theoretically extract about 5 billion tons of six-claw silicon steel every 800 minutes.

If it weren't for the delay in transporting raw materials, it would only result in the synthesis of six-claw silicon steel weighing 5 to 100 billion tons every 200 minutes.

Through these silicon steel materials, a silicon steel pipeline with a radius of 50 meters and the attached superconducting coils "grow" all the way on the Martian equator.

This speed is amazing.

No wonder the omnic civilization could expand to tens of thousands of planetary systems.

Even if the life metal of the omnic civilization does not have the function of a magnetic monopolar crystal, and the reproduction speed is less than one percent of that of the Homo sapiens version, as long as the life metal of the omnic civilization takes root in the planetary system, the consequences will be huge. Unbelievable.

Now Homo sapiens is the same, even more terrifying.

After all, the magnetic monopole crystal endows the life metal with a steady stream of energy, and at the same time, the life metal can be controlled remotely through the magnetic monopole crystal.

It took Homo sapiens several years to build floating islands of tens of millions of square kilometers in the atmosphere of Venus. If nano-robots made of living metals were used, it would take less than a year to complete.

This is because the surface temperature and pressure of Venus are too high and the corrosion is too strong, which seriously interferes with the reproduction speed of life metals.

If it is a terrestrial planet like Mars with a very low atmospheric pressure and a relatively suitable surface temperature, the expansion speed can reach the limit.

It took less than 14 days.

A star ring pipeline around the equator of Mars has been constructed.

At this time, the staff began to disperse the life metals, and gradually completed other supporting facilities of the star ring project.

For example: vacuum system, power supply system and the like.

At the same time, the Mars Colony Branch also received an order from the head office to fully cooperate with the work of the Science Division to produce a batch of precision instruments.

Although life metal is almost omnipotent in construction engineering, it is still powerless for some precision instruments.

For various neutrino detectors, gravitational wave detectors, and primordial detectors, these delicate tasks cannot be done by living metals.

Therefore, the manufacture of these precision instruments is completed by the Mars Colonization Branch.

Progress on the Mars Ring Project is advancing at unprecedented speed.

Chapter 652 Open the door

Galaxy 10, February 5nd.

Dr. Joseph Uri, who is resident in Zhurong City on Mars, is currently in the 14th work area of ​​Zhurong City. At this time, there are researchers in high-energy physics, nuclear physics, and basic physics.

Dr. Yuri looked at everyone present excitedly: "I announce that the Mars Star Ring project is officially put into use!"

clap clap clap!

The physicists and related researchers present applauded happily. They had been looking forward to the Mars star ring project for a long time.

"Dear colleagues! For the prosperity of human civilization!"

"For the prosperity of human civilization!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

As relatively pure scientific researchers, their sense of identity with the Homo sapiens company is much higher than that of ordinary people.
