Homo sapiens.

For these two gaseous planets, Li Qingye actually thinks that both are suitable as the construction sites for super-large particle colliders.

How to carry out engineering design, Li Qingye did not think on his own, he turned his head and told the accompanying assistant: "Xia Fei."

"Chairman, please tell me." Xia Fei took out the bio-tablet that he carried with him, and opened the recording program.

"Let the engineering business department, the space business department, and the science business department form a special team to design and build a super-large particle collider and a double neutron production plant. The construction site should be selected from Uranus and Neptune."

Xia Fei, who had recorded everything, nodded: "I will notify them immediately."

"Ah."

Li Qingye looked at Dr. Yuri again: "Doctor, you also sent some people to participate in this project."

Dr. Uri naturally wished that the company would build a larger particle collider, so he replied with a smile on his face: "I will definitely send a group of professionals there."

The group continued to visit the twin neutron manufacturing plant on Mars.

In order to manufacture dual-neutron materials, the Mars star ring system has undergone considerable modifications. For example, the section of the vacuum ring pipeline that is easily destroyed by the energy of particle collisions has been transformed into special nano-robots, which can achieve instant repair effects. .

Chapter 666 Difficult Evolution

Li Qingye's Mars expedition is not over yet.

After inspecting the double neutron manufacturing plant in the Mars star ring system, accompanied by Dr. Yuri, he came to Utopia City in the northern hemisphere of Mars.

Utopia City is located in the south of the Utopia Plain, and it is also one of the landmark cities of Mars, and it is the largest city on Mars.

However, this city is an unmanned city. Except for synchronous robots and industrial robots, there is no real human being here.

This is also the urban normality of Homo sapiens on other planets, natural satellites, and asteroids.

Among the current human planetary colonies, only Venus has a permanent population of 533 million, and the permanent population of other planetary colonies is generally around tens of thousands.

But Homo sapiens has found two other planets suitable for human habitation.

That is Saturn and Neptune.

Why these two planets?

The reason is naturally very simple - gravity.

Saturn has a gravity of 12.5G, and Neptune has a gravity of 11.4G, which is very close to Earth's 9.8G.

The planet's gravity has a very peculiar feature. The gravity on the surface of the planet is often the largest, and it will decrease gradually towards the core or outside the atmosphere.

In this way, as long as the 9.8G gravity layer is found outside the atmosphere of Saturn and Neptune, Homo sapiens can build a suitable artificial ecosystem in this gravity layer.

You know, the surface areas of Saturn and Neptune are very vast.

Even if only a small part of it is developed, it is enough for tens of billions of people to live.

Now Homo sapiens company is not lack of resources, but lack of suitable living space.

Although the new humans in the future will definitely transform their genes and become new humans in the universe.

But Li Qingye is also very clear that the meal must be eaten bite by bite, otherwise it is easy to choke to death.

Even according to the current most optimistic schedule of the Science Division, it will take at least 150 years for new humans to complete genetic modification and comprehensive evolution.

This is only possible on the premise that the Homo sapiens company has absorbed a large amount of technology from the omnic civilization.

If the science and technology database of the omnic civilization is not obtained, then this time may increase several times.

In fact, the development speed of the Sapiens company is already very fast among all first-level civilizations.

Referring to the six-claw civilization, the other party has developed for several 10 years, and its overall technical level is much worse than that of Homo sapiens. Even if it has not obtained the related technologies of six-claw civilization and omnic civilization, the comprehensive level of Homo sapiens is still slightly higher Six-claw civilized a little.

Now Homo sapiens' shortcoming is actually that it cannot survive outside the standard gravity zone for a long time.

And this problem, even Li Qingye, who is extremely smart, can't solve it in a short time.

This is mainly because there is no room for casualness and negligence when it comes to genetic issues.

If the transformation route goes wrong, it will be a huge setback for Homo Sapiens and New Humans.

Therefore, Li Qingye would rather take his time and spend 200 years slowly debugging and experimenting to find out all possible problems, and the last step is in place.

The disadvantage of doing so is that the living space of new humans will be seriously insufficient.

You must know that with the soaring life expectancy of new humans and the continuous encouragement of births by Sapiens, the current annual natural population growth rate of Homo sapiens has reached a very exaggerated 8.3%.

Since the 13th year of Xinghe, the scale of natural people from the other side of the earth flowing into Homo Sapiens has dropped to only about a few hundred thousand per year.

However, the total population of Homo sapiens is still in Xinghe for 20 years, exceeding 56 billion.

It is estimated that in the next 200 years, the total population of Homo sapiens will exceed one trillion.

Obviously, the earth cannot accommodate a trillion new humans, even if it eats up the rest of the free world, it will not help.

The ecological environment of the earth, in the limit state, can only accommodate 5000 billion human beings even according to the technical level and productivity of Homo sapiens.

But this is obviously not the result Homo sapiens wants to see.

After all, 5000 billion people are crowded on the earth, and the picture is terrible to think about.

Therefore, it is necessary to find other planets suitable for human survival as soon as possible. Venus is the first habitable planet transformed by Homo sapiens, and it is estimated that it can accommodate 50 billion new humans.

But this is far from enough.

New humans also need a wider living space.

After a series of research, and Homo sapiens company has acquired a large amount of technology from the omnic civilization, the company's planetary transformation level has skyrocketed.

Now Homo sapiens has the confidence to transform Saturn and Neptune.

Its transformation principle is similar to that of Venus. It also uses vacuum carbon spheres to build floating land, and then builds a layer of honeycomb structure on the surface of the planet. Finally, based on the honeycomb structure layer, it extends outward to the 9.8G gravity layer. Build livable areas.

The Hive Layer can also mine the bases of Saturn and Neptune.

As long as the transformation of Saturn and Neptune is completed, the 9.8G gravity layer of these two planets is enough to accommodate trillions of new human beings.

If it is not enough, Homo sapiens can only transform Jupiter again.

As for Uranus, the gravity of this planet is a little lower than that of Venus, so it is not suitable as a habitable planet.

The idea of ​​Li Qingye and the management of Homo sapiens company is very simple. As long as the problem of population living space for nearly 200 years is solved, the problem will not be big after that.

Because after 200 years, the new humans have most likely completed the evolution, from the new humans on the earth to the new humans in the universe.

The characteristic of the new human beings in the universe is that they can survive for a long time in an environment of microgravity or tens of G gravity, and are not affected by gravity.

As long as you become a new human being in the universe, you don’t need to consider specific gravity at that time, and the entire universe is a habitable area for new human beings.

Li Qingye's evolutionary route for new humans is also one of the first two, and now he can only rely on time to slowly grind it out.

There is no rush for this kind of thing.

Once you are too eager for quick success, it is likely to backfire.

The reason why he recently went to various colonial planets to investigate is actually to arrange various projects and scientific research topics, so as to prevent people from being too eager for quick success.

In fact, Li Qingye knows that many researchers are anxious. This is not because of their fame and fortune, but because they are also eager to complete evolution and become new cosmic humans who can live freely in the universe.

But scientific research work is sometimes done slowly and meticulously.

He kept inspecting various scientific research and engineering projects, found many problems, and severely criticized those behaviors that were eager for quick success.

Homo sapiens company doesn't need to be in too much of a hurry now, but to concentrate on absorbing the technology of the six-claw civilization and the omnic civilization, and laying a solid foundation for the company. This is the current top priority.

As for the completion of evolution, that is the century-old mission of Homo sapiens, and there is basically no need to think about it in one or two hundred years.

Chapter 667 There's No Way Ahead

Mars, the city of Utopia.

4088 nuclear factory, this nuclear factory is a factory specializing in the production of controllable nuclear fusion equipment, and also undertakes part of the research and development and testing work.

Under the leadership of Dr. Yuri, Li Qingye came to the research and development base of this factory.

He suddenly saw a familiar face.

The man also saw Li Qingye's face, and a smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Chairman, long time no see."

"Dr. Levi's! Are you coming to Mars to investigate the application of double neutron materials?"

That person is the founder of the nuclear industry of Homo Sapiens—Dr. Levi. He nodded with a smile: "Of course I can't miss the double neutron material. This is the cornerstone of the next industrial revolution!"

In fact, for Dr. Levi, his status in Homo Sapiens is already very high. There is no need to come and do it himself, but he has been used to it for so many years. It is this persistent attitude that keeps Dr. Levi closely following the trend of the times.

Li Qingye suggested: "Since the doctor is also here to investigate, let's drop by to investigate together!"

"Okay! I also have the wisdom of the chairman." Dr. Levi's joked.

"Haha..." Dr. Uri couldn't help laughing.

The three entered the scientific research base together.

In the empty space, there is a huge device similar to "Old Pumpkin". This thing is one of the targets that Li Qingye will investigate this time, the five-type controllable nuclear fusion device.

The controllable nuclear fusion of Homo sapiens has developed five generations in just over ten years.

The first generation of technology is the furnace-type controllable nuclear fusion technology.

The second-generation technology is the Levi's-style controllable nuclear fusion technology.

The third-generation technology and the fourth-generation technology borrow some materials and technologies from the omnic civilization, which is equivalent to an upgraded version of Levi's controllable nuclear fusion technology.

The controllable nuclear fusion device in front of me is the fifth generation technology, also known as "magnetic cage controllable nuclear fusion technology".

Dr. Yuri introduced the distinction between several generations of controllable nuclear fusion technology: "Chairman, the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion can only use hydrogen bombs and nuclear explosions for rough power generation. For the second generation technology, Dr. Levi's knows better than me... "

Dr. Levi's is naturally clear about the specific distinction of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

The intergenerational boundary of Homo sapiens' controllable nuclear fusion technology is based on the depth of nuclear fusion.

The so-called "nuclear fusion depth" refers to the nodes of the nuclear fusion chain from nuclear fusion of hydrogen to iron.

The first generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology can only change from hydrogen nuclear fusion to helium element, and only one nuclear fusion can be performed during this period.

In terms of energy output and cost performance, the second-generation technology can nuclear fusion to carbon, which is equivalent to six nuclear fusions.

The nuclear fusion of the third-generation technology to the neon element is equivalent to ten nuclear fusions.

The fourth-generation technology of nuclear fusion to aluminum element is equivalent to fourteen nuclear fusions.

In the fifth-generation technology, the limit can be reached in one step, and a total of 26 nuclear fusions can be carried out from hydrogen fusion to iron.

The nuclear fusion potential of hydrogen has been squeezed to the extreme, and the elements after iron are heavy elements, and there is no way to carry out nuclear fusion.

Levi's sighed softly: "The double-neutron material is really powerful. If we had this material back then, there would be no need to work hard to design those complicated and controllable nuclear fusion configurations."

In this regard, Li Qingye did not deny the historical achievements of the previous generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology: "There is no need for a doctor to belittle oneself. After all, a tall building starts from the ground without its original foundation, and there is no such thing as today's double neutron material."

This is like eating, you can only be full after eating five steamed buns, instead of skipping the first four tomorrows and eating the fifth steamed bun directly, you will not be full.

Even though Homo Sapiens has taken some detours in the development of controllable nuclear fusion technology, some mistakes must be endured as a pioneer.

After all, there are no stones to touch in front of us, so we can only cross the river by ourselves.

The current Homo sapiens company is at a stage with a long way to go. Facing the foggy secondary civilization, Homo sapiens company does not know how to develop, so it can only continue to trial and error.

Li Qingye is well aware of Homo Sapiens' double-neutron material, which is a new technology obtained by accident.

In many cases, each first-level civilization has its own special encounters, and it is difficult to copy.

Li Qingye has a deep understanding of this point after browsing the database of omnic civilization.

The Homo sapiens company is very lucky. Without being promoted to the first level of civilization, it obtained the special material of magnetic monopole crystal, which realized long-distance delay-free communication technology.

Still in biotechnology and machine technology go hand in hand, there is no reminder of the technology developed to walk on one foot.

You must know that in the records of omnic civilization, many science and technology systems of first-level civilizations have biased phenomena.

This six-claw civilization is a typical example.

Later, Homo sapiens obtained the scientific and technological information of the six-claw civilization and the omnic civilization, which quickly completed the technological system of Homo sapiens.

The current Homo sapiens company has a very comprehensive technological system, and it is also a relatively powerful existence in the first-level civilization.

Because of this, it also leads to another problem, that is, there is no reference object ahead.

As for the quasi-second-level civilization that defeated the omnic civilization, the omnic civilization doesn't have much information about the opponent. Those omnics who have been in contact with the quasi-second-level civilization are dead, and they don't even have much information. come out.

Li Qingye and other top scientists of Homo Sapiens have been thinking about the future development direction for some time.
