Homo sapiens.

In the end, the actions of the omnics angered a quasi-secondary civilization.

In less than 180 million years, the omnic race was driven to extinction.

At that time, the supreme beings of the omnic clan, in order to make a comeback, secretly promoted the information storage project and launched a large number of information storages to the surrounding star systems.

6Chapter 16 Living Metal

Li Qingye sorted out the technical information of the omnic clan.

Among them are many unique technical materials, such as the one in his hand at this time.

This is a material called "Life Metal", which was looted from a first-level civilization by the Omnics in the later period.

The material is very peculiar. This material is composed of nano-structured tungsten and rhodium to form a metal core. Through this metal core, a specific current can be injected to make the metal core attract the tungsten and rhodium in the rock to condense in the outer shell. When the material After accumulating enough, the metal core will self-replicate to become two new metal cores.

This is only the first property of living metals.

The second feature is that the metal can attract other metal elements through a specific current, thereby constructing a new shell.

Due to the different raw materials, the new shell can form all kinds of strange types, thus deriving various functions.

After obtaining this technology, the expansion speed of the omnics has increased a lot, and their bodies have become indestructible, making it difficult to be completely destroyed.

To completely destroy life metal, there are only two ways.

One is high-temperature dissolution, and the other is continuous impact of high-energy particle flow.

There is actually life metal in each metal cuboid, but it's a pity that this thing can't hold the long years.

After all, in the process of crossing two star systems, the metal cuboid has no way to obtain energy supply, and it can only be in a frozen state.

In this case, the nanostructure of the metal core will gradually disintegrate. Once the nanostructure is destroyed, it means that the metal core has lost its "life".

According to the internal data of the omnics, life metals can still be preserved in a low temperature state for hundreds of thousands of earth years without any way to obtain energy supplies.

If there is energy and resource supply, life metal can be continuously updated and basically can be used permanently.

The tungsten-rhodium element of the metal cuboid is the remains of the metal of life.

Li Qingye is very interested in this technology, but he will not copy it, because there is another risk in doing so.

After all, life metal has been played by omnics for millions of years, and the other party knows the characteristics of life metal well.

He did not forget that the Omnics sent tens of millions of information storages to the galaxy, and some of these information storages will definitely be picked up by the civilization of the galaxy.

Even if only one of them succeeds in reviving the omnics, with the ruthless and aggressive civilization style of the omnics, sooner or later the other party will expand in the galaxy.

Homo sapiens is very likely to encounter omnics in the future.

If life metal is applied on a large scale, backdoors and loopholes will definitely be found by the omnics.

Therefore, Li Qingye handed over this technology to the Science Business Department, and asked them to modify this technology so that it can only be used by human civilization.

In fact, there are three versions of life metal. The first and second versions are not made by the omnics. The third generation of life metal is the unique life metal that the omnics have transformed according to their own racial characteristics.

Now the Homo sapiens company is going to imitate the idea of ​​the omnic clan and transform a life metal exclusively for Homo sapiens.

For example, carbon and iron are used as auxiliary materials, plus tungsten and rhodium gold. At present, this idea is the most likely to be realized. Some laboratories have developed semi-finished products, but some functions have not yet been realized.

The characteristic of life metal is that it can self-replicate and form a high-composite structure similar to cells.

Using this kind of thing as the shell of spaceships, battleships and bases can extend the service life of these things indefinitely. As long as the energy is sufficient, there is basically no need to worry about the service life.

Even in this resource-depleted void, as long as spaceships and warships have energy, they can also prolong their service life through cannibalism.

As for why the omnic civilization didn't install an energy system in the metal cuboid at the beginning, the reason is very simple. The quasi-secondary civilization attacking the omnic family has very powerful detection technology.

Devices containing energy systems are easy to detect. For the continuation of the omnic civilization, they adopted the last extreme solution, abandoning all energy systems.

Otherwise, these metal cuboids can't hide the quasi-secondary civilization at all.

In order to survive and continue, all civilizations can do anything and everything.

While studying the technology of the omnics, Li Qingye observed the situation of the "Morgan omnics" in the thinking world.

At the same time, he continued to expand the scale of the cloned brain, and even as the scale of the cloned brain increased, Li Qingye's thinking and computing power also skyrocketed, which made his research ability even more terrifying.

at the same time.

The Homo sapiens company is also continuing to expand, and there are footprints of new humans on all the planets in the solar system.

In terms of the Venus colony, the area of ​​the floating islands of the Yungong base has expanded to 4938 million square kilometers, and the number of mining bases on the surface of Venus has reached 8.4.

As for the Mars colony, in the inner orbit of the Martian system, in addition to the addition of 3 space shipyards and maintenance plants, the number of base cities on the surface of Mars has increased from the previous 8 to 12.

In terms of the Jupiter colony, Callisto’s Pangea II maintains the status quo, and other large natural satellites of Jupiter are either used as mining planets or industrial planets, and a Jupiter space city (similar to Mars’ Zhurong City) has been built.

However, the fastest growing areas are the Cooper Belt and the Outer Cooper Belt.

In order to strengthen the guard against the surrounding planetary systems, 6 unmanned space cities have been built here, mining bases have been established on 39 dwarf planets, and 52 new high-speed warships have been deployed.

Also specially in order to manage the Cooper Belt, the Cooper Colonial Division was established.

The management and ordinary employees of Homo sapiens have an increasingly strong sense of crisis. With everyone working together and coupled with super technology, the speed of development will naturally increase by leaps and bounds.

In the free world where we are still playing with mud on the earth, I was stunned to see Homo sapiens company's growth rate of one step a year.

You must know that the 9th year of Xinghe is only 2031.

Homo Sapiens has colonized the entire solar system, leaving not a single scrap of food to the free world.

And recently Homo sapiens has implemented the strictest information control on the earth.

It is required that all forces on the earth must obtain permission from Homo sapiens before sending information into outer space, otherwise it will be a betrayal of human civilization.

Even the previously launched probes such as Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have recently been captured by Homo sapiens and brought back to Earth.

There is nothing that other forces on Earth can do about Homo sapiens' dominance.

After all, the gap between a zero-level civilization and a first-level civilization is sometimes a world of difference.

6Chapter 17 Brave New World ([-])

It's been 9 years since I came to Xinghe.

The earth's sea level has dropped by 14.6 meters compared to before the glacier crisis.

If it were not for re-excavation, the Suez Canal, the Kra Canal, and the Strait of Malacca would lose their navigability.

But at this time, global trade has been sluggish. After all, Homo sapiens now holds too many resources, and there is no need to import from other forces on the earth.

The last mineral imports would not have been maintained were it not for maintaining a portion of the trade.

Homo sapiens companies, which are constantly promoting technological innovation and internal management innovation, have undergone great changes on the earth, which can be described as changing with each passing day.

At present, the total number of employees of Homo Sapiens has reached 39.2 billion, which is more than half of the total population of the earth.

Siam branch.

Ubon Ratchathani is close to the Kingdom of Khmer and Lancang, so migrant workers who come from the north to the south will regard this as the first stop.

Even in the entire free world, the region north of Southeast Asia is the one with the best preserved strength and the fastest development, but it is still not comparable to Homo sapiens.

Therefore, there are still many people who will come to join the Homo sapiens company.

At this time, in the vocational training center in Ubon Ratchathani, more than 200 interns who had just entered the job were lying on the learning machines.

This learning machine is based on the technology of the omnics. Although the omnics have tampered with the super learning machine, after Li Qingye eliminated the hidden dangers, he adjusted it again according to the needs of human beings. Now this technology can be put into use. .

Ye Shuwen woke up from the deep learning state of the learning machine, rubbed his temples, and let out a light breath:

"Phew... This feeling is really amazing, no wonder the company is developing so fast."

Xiao Yong, a classmate who went south with him, had a wry smile on his face: "It's better to study hard for ten years than to enter the chip once. The gap is too big."

"That's right! Natural humans and new humans are almost becoming two species. If reproductive isolation does not exist now, we may not even have the opportunity to join Homo sapiens." Ye Shuwen felt more and more that his choice was correct.

Soon.

The evaluator who came to assess their physical condition said while looking at the neuron changes in their brains: "You are in good condition and can move around freely. If you go outside, you must return to the training center on time for training."

"Thank you." Ye Shuwen nodded with a smile, then he turned his head and asked, "Ayong, do you want to go out for a stroll?"

Xiao Yong, who was stretching his body, stretched his waist: "Okay! I have been in this city for half a month, and I haven't taken a good look around yet. Do you want to ask my uncle and aunt?"

Ye Shuwen shook his head: "No need, they are doing genetic repair and body adjustments, and it is estimated that they will not be able to move freely for a month."

The migrant workers who go south work in families. There are seven members of Ye Shuwen's family. Except for him and his elder brother and his wife, the rest are his parents and his elder brother's father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The four old people are all between 50 and 60 years old. This age belongs to the category of young people in Homo sapiens, and this age belongs to the category of young old people among natural people.

目前智人公司的人均预期寿命为173岁，18～75岁之间为青年、75～120岁为中年，121岁以上为老年。

The reason why many natural people flock to Sapiens companies is not because of the attractiveness of longevity.

This is a long life without disease and disaster, without worrying about food and clothing, not a long life of suffering.

Ye Shuwen's parents were not in good health, especially his father, who worked in a coal mine for decades and his lung health was very poor. If he hadn't come to Homo Sapiens, he probably wouldn't have lived for many years.

The two walked out of the training center.

The picture that catches the eye is a huge honeycomb hemispherical dome, which is composed of a super-strong alloy skeleton and transparent regular hexagonal polymer materials.

Although Ubon Ratchathani is a tropical area, the climate in the city can be adjusted artificially.

Standing on the street, the mango trees on both sides exude a unique fragrance.

The breeze caresses the skin, and the soft sunlight makes the whole person warm.

Strolling on the tree-shaded sidewalk, there are not too many pedestrians.

"There don't seem to be many people here?" Xiao Yong rubbed a mango leaf, and put the scented leaves in front of his nose.

Ye Shuwen swiped his card at the vending machine on the side of the road: "Here is mango leaf tea, would you like a bottle?"

"Eh? There's this kind of tea? Get me a bottle!"

"Give."

Ye Shuwen handed the mango leaf tea to Xiao Yong, and he took a bottle of aloe vera juice himself, the two bottles of drinks only cost 0.4 gold dollars.

"Gulu Gulu... Huh, this taste is very strange!" Xiao Yong drank mango leaf tea for the first time, and felt that this thing and fresh leaves were two different strange tastes.

Ye Shuwen took a sip of aloe vera juice, then sighed, "The things here are really cheap."

"After all, the company is already a first-class civilization, and money is really not money." Xiao Yong shrugged.

After the two joined the company, the intern employee stage lasted for one year, and the standard monthly salary was 5000 gold yuan, plus other subsidies and the like, about 6500 gold yuan a month.

After the Homo sapiens company started using nuclear fusion power generation, the productivity exploded further. If it weren't for the military industry and space colonization development that ate up a large part of the productivity, the Homo sapiens company would have had excess capacity.

The current situation is that the population growth rate of the Homo sapiens company cannot keep up with the soaring rate of productivity.

In the past ten years, the Homo sapiens company has soared from a zero-level civilization to a first-level civilization, and has successively obtained the technology of two first-level civilizations, and its productivity has soared hundreds of thousands of times.

We must find ways to continuously distribute benefits to employees. Since we want employees to feel the warmth of the company, we must also prevent employees from having the idea of ​​lying down.

Fortunately, the recent threat from alien civilization has made all employees work harder and unite.

The interns like Ye Shuwen and Xiao Yong, who have just joined the company, are lamenting the wealth and wealth of Homo sapiens, and they have not really integrated into the company's system. They will have to work for at least one or two years before they will be completely assimilated by Homo sapiens.

In fact, the low price is just a stereotype given to the outside world by Homo sapiens.

Employees who are truly integrated into Homo sapiens company don't care about the prices of basic living materials.

Because cheap and high-quality daily necessities and food are the most inconspicuous part of the series of benefits of Homo Sapiens.

The real benefits of the company are medical care, education, entertainment and emotional gain.

For a first-level civilization, it is not a benefit, but one of the basic requirements, to let every member eat and drink enough.

The improvement of the level of civilization is the improvement of productivity; the improvement of productivity will inevitably completely change the mode of social operation.

Chapter 648 Brave New World ([-])

Unknowingly, the two walked near the Interstellar Immigration Department under the Department of Space Expansion.

Ye Shuwen looked up at the star map sign of the solar system: "I heard that this place can apply to work in other interstellar colonies."

"Why, you kid want to go to an alien colony?" Xiao Yong asked curiously while sitting on a roadside bench.

"Just curious, and as interns, we should not be eligible to apply to work and live in alien colonies." Ye Shuwen took a sip of aloe vera juice.
