Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After having a child, Mr. Liu didn't feel much relieved at all. The four children cried one after another at night, torturing him and his wives to the point of death. Even if his mother helped, it was of no avail.

    During the day, he has to be busy with work, especially the construction of Mars. There are many things that require his decision-making.

    Eti launched a probe to Mars half a year ago and began to change the Martian magnetic field.  It is not without reason that Mars is called the most suitable planet for human colonization. First of all, its rotation time is very close to that of the Earth, which is about 24 hours. Secondly, its gravity is twice as high as that of the moon, which is currently about 38% of the Earth.  It's still not high enough, but at least it's much better than the moon.

    The most important point is that there is water on Mars. Although it is not liquid water, the water content in the soil is 3%. There are also ice caps and water ice at the north and south poles. For a desert planet, it is already quite large.  A miracle.

    The shortcomings of Mars are equally obvious. The main disadvantage is that the atmospheric pressure is not high enough, only 6 millibars, which is far from reaching the Armstrong limit of 61.8 millibars.  Only fixed pressure amplification devices can be used, and not only in the aircraft, but also in any Martian buildings and outdoor activities.

    The so-called Armstrong limit is an aerospace term, which means that at this specific altitude, due to the low ambient air pressure (0.0618 atmospheres), the boiling point of water is also reduced to close to human body temperature (37 degrees Celsius).  If humans exceed this height without any pressurization measures, tears, saliva, water in the eyeballs, and body fluids that keep the alveoli moist will all boil and evaporate in a very short period of time.  This causes the lungs to be unable to exchange oxygen and cause suffocation.

    Most plants and animals are unlikely to survive in the extreme environment of Mars, except for certain microorganisms.  Therefore, if you want to colonize Mars, the first step is to improve the environment of Mars. At least, the current temperature of more than 80 degrees below zero cannot occur frequently. In that case, humans will be completely unable to carry out outdoor activities on Mars.

    There are many ways to improve Mars. Even Earth scientists have listed several options, some of which are completely impossible with the current level of technology, such as using planetary engines to change the orbit of Mars.  The simplest method is to build a huge mirror outside the Martian sphere to reflect sunlight and increase the surface temperature of Mars.  Change solid water into liquid form.  Then add soot or algae plants on the ice surface.  Improve its absorption rate.

    But the problem with this is that even if the liquid water capacity is increased, due to the Martian atmosphere and gravity, if the temperature is not continuously maintained.  This liquid water will gradually return to its solid state.  Or dissipate into the atmosphere.  And those super giant mirrors are very fragile.  It's possible that a slight twist or collision could destroy it.

    Etty¡¯s solution is an idea once proposed by a certain earth scientist, which is to increase the strength of Mars¡¯ magnetic field.  This method can be regarded as removing the firepower and increasing the intensity of Mars' magnetic field.  First, the gravity is increased to make it more habitable for humans, who do not yet have enough knowledge to avoid gravity-related health problems.

    Secondly, it increases the atmospheric pressure and avoids the trouble of installing and carrying a booster device everywhere.  Finally, the enhanced magnetic field can absorb more of the atmosphere, allowing us to take the opportunity to adjust the atmospheric structure of Mars, reduce the content of carbon dioxide, increase oxygen and other gases, and make it suitable for human breathing, at least without wearing a breathing mask.

    The enhanced atmosphere can help Mars resist more space radiation and harmful rays, making the surface environment more reasonable.  The temperature difference will become smaller and will not be as high as 28 degrees during the day and minus 80 degrees at night in some areas.  The improved surface environment can help more animals and plants survive, and only some minor modifications are needed to adapt.

    In addition, microorganisms and modified algae are being used to simultaneously transform the surface of Mars. In the presence of liquid water, desertification can gradually turn into soil. After the soil is solidified, the scope of the colony is slowly expanded, and algae and microorganisms are continuously used to transform the surface.  , this process can take many years.

    ¡° However, Eti¡¯s temporary goal is only to increase the magnetic field and build a large base to initially establish a self-sufficient industrial system.  Taking advantage of the reasonable configuration of the three bases, it believes that the entire process may take two years. After two years, the Mars base will have sufficient self-protection strength and strong production capabilities.

    The moss and cyanobacteria carried by the first probe launched by Eti grew smoothly after settling on Mars. Even in such a harsh environment, the moss and cyanobacteria were able to expand in large quantities. This must have benefited from the moisture in the Martian soil.

    Changing the planet's magnetic field is a complicated task, and even ETI cannot complete it quickly, so it plans to spend three months carefully surveying the operation of Mars' magnetic field, and then carry out a half-year modification.Create jobs.  During this period, the construction of the Mars base will not stop. Robots will all be used for remote operations, and the progress will not be affected.

    The collection of materials on the earth has gradually stopped. The large purchases in the early stage must have aroused some suspicion. The current collection work of the lunar base is progressing well. Except for some materials that are not available on the moon or are inconvenient to collect, most of them are purchased on the earth.  There is no need to spend money to buy the materials anymore.

    Three months later, the complete repair of the Titanium Star was completed, and Lin Lin's body was also catalyzed. The next step was her transformation ceremony.

    Liu Jinpeng was the only one who participated in Lin Lin's transformation ceremony. Both Eva and Lin Lin were connected to the quantum network. Their machine bodies stood quietly aside, as if they were dead, making Liu Jinpeng look like  I felt terrified.

    The blue light curtain flowed down from the ceiling like a water curtain, and Yi Di's voice sounded from all around: "The transformation ceremony is about to begin, the transformation rate is 87.7%, and the secondary transformation rate is 99.7%."

    The first conversion rate is Lin Lin¡¯s success rate. If she fails and is cleared, then Eva will be converted for the second time. This time the success rate is very high, and it is basically foolproof.

    Lin Lin¡¯s voice came from the void: ¡°Sir, please remember my name. If I fail, remember to fulfill your promise.¡±

    Liu Jinpeng said softly: "You will not fail. I will wait for you here."

    Etty¡¯s voice sounded: ¡°Transformation is ready to begin, countdown, 9, 8, 7, 6¡­¡±

    As the timer approached, Liu Jinpeng felt more and more nervous. He sat on the anti-gravity armchair, crossed his hands and rubbed his thumbs together, as if this could reduce his nervousness.

    The countdown is over.

    There were large changes on the blue light screen, and all kinds of incomprehensible symbols were flowing down rapidly.

    In the glass groove behind the blue light curtain, a body that looked similar to a woman on Earth was lying naked in the nutrient solution. Physically, she looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. The only thing that was different from Earth people was  Yes, she has light blue hair and a pair of pointed ears.

    At this moment, her body suddenly twitched slightly, and her face showed a look of pain.

    Yi Di¡¯s voice prompts: ¡°The transformation process is 8%, and the target has an unexplained rejection reaction.¡±

    Liu Jinpeng became even more nervous: "What's going on? Is it the body's survival response?"

    Yidi replied: "After emergency treatment, the main body's condition stabilized, the wavelength returned to normal, and the transformation continued."

    In the glass groove, the twitching of the body disappeared, and the face returned to normal.  But Liu Jinpeng was still very surprised: "Didn't you say that the main body does not have any consciousness?"

    Yi Di explained: "In fact, in addition to the brain, the Yilan tribe also has an emotional center. The main function of this center is to retain the genes she received. As long as most Yilan tribe has had spiritual intercourse with their lover,  She can keep this gene throughout her life and can have children anytime and anywhere. This body is currently pure, and I don¡¯t know why the center has a rejection reaction."

    Liu Jinpeng asked: "What will be the sequelae?"

    "At the moment, no." Edith said with reservations, "This kind of transformation is the first time for me, and problems are inevitable. However, I have anesthetized the central nervous system, and she will not have any resistance now.  .¡±

    Liu Jinpeng pursed his lips and asked, "I still feel a little strange. In this case, isn't it difficult to tell whether this body is hers or Lin Lin's?"

    Etty replied: "This is a very interesting research topic for me. It is still unknown to what extent the integration of Lin Lin and her will proceed, and whether the temperaments of the two will blend or conflict."

    "Hey," Liu Jinpeng was unhappy, "This is my wife. Are you doing experiments on my wife?"

    "Data collection is necessary. Without data, this situation cannot be improved." Old God Yidi replied, "With enough data, Lin Lin can be transferred to a new body even if there is any problem.  . I must remind you that the chip in her brain must be preserved. Before complete fusion, this chip is Lin Lin's body."

    "What happens after the fusion?"

    "Let's use her as a deputy brain from now on. Her computing speed will be much faster than that of ordinary Yilan people. You can treat her as a humanoid copy. She can also communicate with me through the chip, but she cannot carry out big data quantum transmission.  Be careful, more than 50 million Tau points of radiation can destroy the chip, but there is no weapon that can achieve this output yet."

    Before Liu Jinpeng could speak, Yi Di reminded: "The transformation is completed, congratulations."

     It turned out that while the two were talking, the blue light curtain had gradually disappeared, but the girl in the glass groove had not yet opened her eyes.

    Liu Jinpeng stood up and walked to the groove, nervously waiting for the moment Lin Lin opened his eyes.  (To be continued)
