In the following time, as Zhang Chengye said, the main thing has been done, and the only thing left is to observe the growth of these artificial life forms.
Swish... Some figures shuttled back and forth, and a large number of mechas crisscrossed the surface of the planet.
Li Ziyu led his team and also shuttled. Mechas are already a must-have tool for today's human society - a must-have tool for exploration, star travel, space walking, etc.; just like clothes in the space age.
In other words, this is the swimsuit of the universe! Just like going into the water, is it better to swim in a bathing suit or use a boat? Is it better to dive with a wetsuit or a submarine? Then we can only say that everyone has their own opinions!
But whether on a ship or a submarine, swimsuits and wetsuits are must-have tools! And in some scientific investigations, it is absolutely indispensable!
Today's mechas almost have this status - civilian status, the military is another matter: they are both mechas, but the technology and design concepts are thousands of miles apart - well, this is really the case in the universe. A distance not worth mentioning.
Only three years have passed, and the planet now numbered "Experimental Star 001" has completely changed.
Three years ago, this was a very ordinary rocky planet in the starry sky. Perhaps the only good thing about it was that it was at a moderate distance from the star - for the Chinese civilization, it had a warm appearance. But the surface of this planet is filled with a highly toxic atmosphere, molten sulfur flows on the ground, and the water and oceans are full of iron-green and copper-green... In short, this is an absolutely unfriendly environment, and there is not a single microorganism!
However, since humans planted mechanical genetic life—referred to as artificial plants, or artificial life—three years ago, things have finally changed.
now. What Li Ziyu led his team to investigate was a jungle - but this jungle was just an artificial plant; just like a banyan tree, it continued to extend and expand through its aerial roots; and then its own aerial roots , branches and leaves, etc., will also combine with each other. Form a three-dimensional network structure.
Ordinarily, Li Ziyu is an adventurer and there is no need to participate in the investigation of these plants. Even Zhang Chengye and others will not forcefully assign them - for this great migration of mankind, adventurers are more about providing adventure experience.
For example, how to reduce losses when encountering strange starry sky environments - the cosmic environment is too complex, especially now when traveling outside the Milky Way, no one knows what is going on outside - although most of them may be safe, but what if !
sometimes. Human experience and reactions are far superior to computers!
Computers are made by humans, and computer knowledge is also explored by humans!
But Li Ziyu took the initiative to apply for exploration and even applied for plant care, monitoring, information collection, etc., numbered "Land-012". Li Ziyu sees further than others, because he knows that technology is always developing and progressing; every time humans think that technology has reached a threshold or a level, they will find that - oh, it can still go like this!
So, human technology. The whole is advancing at a high speed - of course, individual technologies are. It may have reached a dead end, such as the most representative one, rail gun technology.
However, there will always be new technologies breaking out! However, Li Ziyu believes that artificial life in the future. It will become one of the pillar technologies of society - because, in the Venus era, humans have proposed using metal cells to replace flesh and blood to achieve longevity!
But such a proposal. There was no news after that, and the country even strictly prohibited private research on genetic engineering. But now it seems that the reason why the country bans it is because it is afraid that ordinary people and companies will mess up and wreak havoc on mankind like some horror movies; but the country itself has not stopped and is even vigorously researching it.
And such research results are terrifying! For now, that's it! The Chinese civilization has mastered the ability to create the world—at least, it is a low-level ability to create the world.
"Clang!" Sparks burst out.
It turned out that Li Ziyu was using an ordinary iron rod to fight with a plant branch in front of him. But as a result, the 30cm iron rod in the mecha's hand was bent! The 10-centimeter-thick branch in front was still intact, with only slight scratches on the surface.
Brush...the surrounding "bark" surges, and in just ten seconds, the traces disappear! Even those broken "cells" are digested internally.
"Tsk, terrifying technique!" Li Ziyu sighed and threw the iron rod aside. The iron rod clanged against a tree trunk.
Phew... A tentacle as thick as a finger suddenly stretched out from the side, rolled up the iron rod, and then sent it to a leaf that shone with a faint blue light. The leaf suddenly rolled up and wrapped the iron rod.
"Captain, is it possible that our bodies will be like this in the future? I'm really looking forward to it!" A member of the adventure team muttered.
Yes, from the perspective of people in this era, many people do not reject mechanical transformation - anyway, as long as the brain is intact, it is easy to replace the original body with today's technology; even further, as long as the brain stem is retained, it can be It can make people recover - provided that you first store all your memories in the chip and the brain stem is still active. Such technical reserves have begun to be fully promoted in the military and adventure associations.
"It's very possible!" Li Ziyu's tone was almost certain. "It seems that the country has never given up on research in this area. Even through genetic technology, every cell or nucleus is a small computer.
Perhaps such a genetic computer is not as powerful as many of today's powerful computer technologies; but think about it, how many cells in the body and every cell is a computer, that is really terrifying!
Perhaps in the near future, when these technological research experiments are successful, we may be able to enjoy them. I’m really looking forward to it! ”
Yes, I’m really looking forward to it! Many team members began to admire him. Only by taking frequent adventures in space can you feel the fragility of flesh and blood life itself!
"Okay, okay, let's talk about the next thing later. Hurry up and collect the information. After collecting the information, move on your own. On this planet, except for these plants, nothing can threaten the mecha; and these plants have been added to the identification program , will not attack us.”
While collecting information, Li Ziyu checked it. The current position is near the ground.
The ground under your feet has become dry and cracked, and its essence has been lost. Only loose yellow sand remains. If there is a slight breeze, a little powder will be rolled up.
And in this yellow sand, roots and branches, large and small, are inserted into it. The small one is only as thick as a finger, and the big one is as big as a sky pillar. They are like straws inserted into the ground.
When these artificial life forms were originally planted, there were "sewage" flowing across the ground, dense volcanoes, toxic and harmful gases spewing out randomly, and occasionally lava on the ground. But now, looking around, apart from the dark tree trunks that shine with metallic luster and reach into the sky, there are only patches of yellow sand. The original sulfur disappeared, the original volcanoes disappeared, the original water and metal ions, etc., all disappeared!
Wow... suddenly a piece of wind and sand rolled up in the distance. Li Ziyu quickly raised her figure. A mountain in the distance that was originally over a thousand meters high is collapsing! It can be seen that the mountains have long been entangled with vines, and the hard rocks have long since turned into quicksand. At this moment, as the "nutrients" disappear, the Lulu-012 plant pulls away its roots, and the mountain peak naturally collapses.
The mecha held up a handful of yellow sand in its thick palm, and the detection instrument automatically started: "Didi - silica content, 100%."
The silica content is 100%, which means that all useful elements on this planet have been stripped away.
Looking up and looking around, this plant is like a canopy, covering the surroundings and the sky!
High in the sky, there are leaves of various shapes and colors. These leaves, like photovoltaic cells, absorb light and heat from space. The branches of the tallest trees have grown to a height of 100,000 meters, standing tall against the sky and the earth.
Each branch is as straight as a sharp sword, with one end inserted into the ground and the other end pointing to the sky. There are also some vines split from the branches, circling and squirming, actively looking for targets.
Hidden among some branches and leaves are "fruits" of various sizes. The fruits vary in color because this is the color of the metal itself! There is purple copper, silver and black iron, gold - I don't know which scientist made a prank, and the golden fruit turned out to be a gold ingot - is this a money tree? These days, scientists are becoming more and more naughty...
The roots penetrate deeply into the ground. It is even known through computer simulation that some roots directly penetrate into the magma, absorbing not only energy but also "nutrients".
"Is this technological development? Or ruthless plunder?" Inexplicably, Li Ziyu had such emotion. But then put these thoughts behind - how can China develop without plundering! The world is like that.
It is natural for wolves to eat sheep! Similarly, if Chinese civilization wants to develop, it also needs food!
After collecting the information here, the mecha took off. Looking down from space, all you see are leaves of various sizes and sizes, covering the earth. These leaves absorb the light of stars and almost obscure the earth. At this moment, on this planet, both the ocean and the earth are covered by these leaves! The oceans have even begun to dry up!
This planet, perhaps without intervention, would give birth to its own life in hundreds of millions of years! Its environment is so similar to the earth hundreds of millions of years ago. Perhaps, with a little modification, it can be a life planet that is also suitable for Chinese civilization.
However, despite this sentiment, if Chinese civilization wants to develop, it can only draw nutrients from the universe. As for harming other existences because of this, I can only say - China cannot be blamed for this, but you can only be blamed for being too weak! Unknowingly, after the rapid expansion of Chinese civilization, its thinking also began to change dramatically! (To be continued...)
