Chapter 223
In a blink of an eye, it has been one and a half years since "Earth Era" came to this planetary system.
everyday all has a large amount of data and reports, summarized to the central control center. Whenever he sees these data, Zhang Yuan always has a deep sense of accomplishment in his mind.
Underground City is getting bigger and bigger. The usable area has exceeded 5 million square meters. Various functional blocks have also been dug out. After some time, more people will be able to live in. Various ventilation systems and material circulation systems are being installed in an orderly manner.
Just a few days ago, the first batch of milk goats hatched by artificial uterus technology was born in this world. This milk goat can reach the lactation period and produce a certain amount of goat milk within 7-9 months.
Goat milk can not only serve as a staple food for newborn babies, but also improve the quality of food for people.
Therefore, the first batch of about 100 artificially hatched babies was officially launched today. It is expected that these fertilized eggs will hatch in 10 months and become real human infants.
More fertility-related equipment is still being produced overtime...
Of course, this batch of babies has not been improved by genetic technology, and they are used from The sperm and eggs brought by Far Earth will not challenge too much ethics.
The change of thinking is step by step. For now, it is already very good to allow people to accept artificial uterine incubation, and it is not possible to change more for the time being. Up to now, there are still some conservatives who are launching a public opinion offensive on the Internet, but in the face of the real facts, they can't afford to make a big splash.
"Artificial uterus, really a good technology!" Zhang Yuan said with excitement, while wondering in his heart how to make better use of this technology.
Not only cattle, sheep, and human infants, it also means that humans can incubate more and more species, improve the ecological environment of living areas, and also improve food...
"By the way, improving food can greatly increase the satisfaction of the people, but the cost is not very large."
"Whether to raise pigs or chickens and ducks first? The current environment Down...the kind that best lays eggs" Zhang Yuan was thinking secretly.
At present, the most pure and natural food is yellow mealworm, which saves time and labor and does not cause too much biological pollution. After deep frying, just like chicken, Wei Dao Idol is good! But light insects still cannot meet the needs of the people.
Thinking about this, Zhang Yuan sent a feeding suggestion to the Ministry of Agriculture. Anyway, it is just a suggestion. Whether to adopt it or not is a matter for the Ministry of Agriculture.
The next report is a research report on alien science and technology...
People currently have two "Gaia civilization" technologies. The first is high-dimensional fragments. , The second is the consciousness upload instrument.
The research progress of these two distinct things is very slow, because the generation gap between humans and Gaia civilization is a bit big.
For example, the instrument uploaded by consciousness, human beings so far only know that it is likely to be a biological computer. Yes, a biological computer, but I don’t know what its energy system is. Anyway, it’s definitely not chemical energy or nuclear energy.
The energy system is a round metal ball, but it will steadily emit heat, just like a perpetual motion machine. After so many years, there is no sign of weakness at all.
Some people speculate that it is zero-point energy in a vacuum, and others say it is the energy material in a high-dimensional space... It is simply a mess of all kinds of whimsical ideas.
Because the matter is so important, scientists dare not disassemble this machine indiscriminately, so they can only crack and study slowly.
As for high-dimensional fragments, there is no clue. People only know how it is activated and can be turned on briefly, but they don’t know how it is formed.
Anyway, the whole society is thriving, and all scientists are very busy. In the case of busy all day long, many people simply can't think of it. Only a few experts are still bothering to study, anyway, as long as they don’t mess around, let them go...
The next report is about the satellite detection of Gliese 581.
When he saw this report, Zhang Yuan frowned slightly.
Through the satellite remote sensing system, people have discovered some very strange underground caves, which may be caused by the erosion of water, or other reasons, such as glacier movement, typhoon, etc. Etc. A large number of creatures are active in underground caves, and more than a thousand different animal species have been discovered.
Of course, satellites are just satellites. No matter how awesome they are, there is no way to penetrate the thick rock and soil and discover what is hidden underneath. There may be many underground caves of this type......
p>What worries Zhang Yuan is that the satellite seems to have found some traces of industrial mining that seem right but actually isn't!
This kind of trace seems right but actually isn't, for example, some open-air iron ore areas seem to have been mined, a certain area is a bit like the foundation of a house, but it may be unintentional in its natural state Formed in time.
After all, this place is so windy, it’s not impossible to blow rocks away......
The biologist and bionicist Ichiro Yamamoto wrote in the report: “Because of this The surface of the planet is often typhoon and overcast, and the effect of satellite detection is not very good."
"Comparing the creatures on Earth, we found that the creatures on the planet are generally small in size, the longest animal, and the body The length is no more than 1.5 meters, and the mass is no more than 30 kilograms. It may be because of the low oxygen content and anaerobic respiration..."
"According to our existing theory, anaerobic respiration provides The energy is too little and too little, and there is even no way to support the survival of complex life. The mass of 30 kilograms has far exceeded our expectations, and there must be more complex biological mechanisms in it. Understanding of its biological mechanisms will supplement The missing part of the protein language."
When I saw this series of information, Zhang Yuan knew that this guy Yamamoto wanted to go to a different planet to conduct a field investigation.
But obviously, this is impossible.
First, human beings are temporarily unable to withstand this kind of typhoon weather; second, there is no need to waste manpower to do this at present. Planet is here, and it is impossible to run away. It would be more appropriate to wait for ten or twenty years for human development to become stronger before conducting scientific research.
"Human civilization is very poor, really poor..."
Immediately, Zhang Yuan made a call and told Yamamoto to tell him not to keep talking Thinking of such unrealistic problems, don't always confuse young scholars. Although scientific research is very important, you can't pay your own life as a price, right?
"Yes...understood!"
The reply from this guy, Yamamoto, was simply scary. If it was a face-to-face conversation, he might make a nodded bow. Certain cultures in the Earth era are still influencing his thoughts. Zhang Yuan actually misses the youngster who worries about inspiration together in the Star Library...
At this time, suddenly I received another emergency call and looked at it. It was Captain Zhao who came over.
"Old Zhang, where are you?" The voice was serious, with a faint sense of urgency.
Zhang Yuan replied: "I'm in the office...There are still some issues to deal with."
Zhao Qingfeng said urgently: "Just leave it alone, come to the captain's room!" "
"Quick!"
