Chapter 621 Sprouting
In this way, the spark of civilization continuously produces calcium 45 and calcium 47 radioactive elements, and then uses the surrounding rock formations as raw materials to produce composite ferrosilicon layers, nuclear radiation absorption layers, and a large number of energy storage cells.
With the simple nuclear battery, the spark of civilization officially began.
Various working cells continuously extract silicates, bauxite, ice water and various trace elements from the surrounding rock strata.
Among the six elements that are the elements of carbon-based life: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus , and potassium, the planet has a relatively low content of nitrogen, but the abundance of other elements is acceptable.
The relatively low nitrogen content does not mean that the Spark Base cannot produce cells in large quantities.
Li Qingye had considered this . He took advantage of the similar chemical properties of element families and developed a new set of technologies - [Replacement of the core constituent elements of carbon-based organisms].
This set of technologies can solve the problem that some planets lack certain elements, resulting in the inability to replicate carbon-based cells in large quantities.
For example, the lack of nitrogen on Saturn's ninth moon is a very common reality on various asteroids, planets without atmospheres, and satellites without atmospheres.
Although there is definitely some nitrogen hidden in the underground rock strata, plus some nitrogen fixed in the form of compounds, if we mine it with all our strength, we will definitely be able to find some.
However, the cost-effectiveness of doing so is too low, and the development principle of the Spark Base is to achieve the greatest development with the fastest speed, the least resources, and the most convenient way.
Therefore, instead of mining the scarce nitrogen, it is better to use the currently more abundant elements to replace the role of nitrogen in cells.
Phosphorus and arsenic, which are elements of the nitrogen family, are present in the rock layers of Saturn at levels several orders of magnitude higher than nitrogen.
Therefore, the intelligent system of the Spark Base uses hydrogen-phosphorus and hydrogen-arsenic to replace part of the nitrogen element according to the abundance of elements around the base, reducing the amount of nitrogen used in cells to about 0.27% of the normal level.
Although this replacement program will affect some cell functions, these effects are acceptable and can be adjusted.
The Fire Base pursues the ultimate cost-effectiveness and naturally will not make a fuss over the scarce nitrogen element.
Slow development is the way to go.
In less than a week.
The Spark Base is centered at the bottom of the crater and expands underground in all directions.
This expansion is not blind expansion, but has a clear goal, and does not pursue so-called beauty.
For example, the extended body pipes do not adopt the shortest distance in a straight line, but instead grow towards cracks and weak points in the rock formations. This method is also the growth pattern of many plant roots because it saves time and effort.
The "root system" of the Spark Base has now spread to a radius of 3.7 kilometers, with the deepest point underground reaching 573 meters.
The root system uses various natural cracks, rock cavities, and weak points in rock formations to build a huge network of living things.
Collect mineral resources, produce radioactive elements, produce various functional cells, and build various underground cabins.
When the time came a month later.
At this time, the coverage area of the Spark Base has a radius of 26 kilometers, while the diameter of Saturn's ninth moon is only about 200 kilometers.
At this stage of development, the Spark Base began to slow down its expansion and allocated some resources to cultivate "new humans".
However, this is just a simulation experiment, and naturally new humans will not be produced. Instead, they will be replaced by the deployment of synchronized robots.
When the new humans appeared, the intelligent system of the Spark Base officially ended the trusteeship mode and transferred the secondary management authority held by the base intelligent system to the new humans.
As for the highest level of authority, that is from the headquarters of the Homo Sapiens Corporation.
The level zero authority hidden in the core is occupied by Li Qingye alone.
The new humans who obtained management rights quickly set up bases in accordance with the development strategy.
Let the spark base copy a few sparks of civilization, and then produce smaller ones such as artificial comets, and then use a miniature chemical ejection system to eject the artificial comets carrying the sparks of civilization one by one.
The target of these sparks of civilization is several large satellites of Saturn other than Titan.
Especially those large satellites that are tidally locked to Saturn. Their resonant tidal heat is so abundant that as long as we successfully land on these satellites, the speed of the development of civilization will increase exponentially.
After all, Saturn's moon Saturn is a little small, with a diameter of only 200 kilometers. Fortunately, it is rich in various metal resources.
Sapiens has taken out all of Saturn's satellites except Titan, and even allowed the experimental team to mine Saturn's rings and atmosphere, just to verify to what extent the civilization can develop without the support of headquarters' resources.
Obviously, the development speed of Saturn's ninth moon is slightly faster than that of the imagined sea. The reason is that as the roots of the Spark Base continue to penetrate deeper underground, a lot of nitrogen resources hidden underground accelerate the production capacity and work efficiency of the working cells.
According to the original plan, it would take about three years for the Allspark Base to devour the entire Saturn 9th Moon, but now it is estimated that it will only take about 2.6 years.
If all branch bases are opened smoothly, the development speed of the Spark Base will be even more astonishing.
According to the script, the third planet in the habitable zone of the planetary system in this simulation experiment is a planet similar to the Earth, and the level of civilization development on it is almost the same as that in the free world.
At this time, the civilization in the simulation already has spacecraft and a considerable number of astronomical telescopes.
Therefore, the fire base developed in secret must make rational use of various conditions to avoid being discovered by this civilization.
For example, using artificial asteroids, pretending to collide with each other, to produce a large amount of debris to attack the artificial satellites of alien civilizations, and completely eliminate the opponent's spies in the surrounding area.
For example, the main planet's rings and celestial bodies can be used as shelters to conceal some space activities and avoid being observed by astronomical telescopes of alien civilizations.
As for electromagnetic wave communication, the Spark Base itself can produce magnetic monopole crystal communicators and does not need to use electromagnetic wave communication, reducing the risk of being monitored by alien civilizations.
The mission of the Spark Base at this stage.
On the one hand, it is necessary to continue to develop slowly and secretly accumulate enough troops and space battleships.
On the other hand, it is secretly investigating the details of extraterrestrial civilizations.
After producing enough space battleships , we will launch branch base sparks to inner planets and large satellites.
As long as the sub-base is successfully laid on the planet next to the alien civilization, it will be time for the two sides to go to war, and the war will be a decisive battle.
The space battleship propelled by nuclear explosions will reach the alien civilization's home planet as soon as possible and then eliminate all of the opponent's spacecraft in outer space.
The alien civilization must surrender unconditionally, otherwise we will launch a full-scale attack.
If an alien civilization dares to resist, we will kill it directly, first cripple it, then force it to colonize the entire planet and use it as a test field for the development of civilization.
If the alien civilization chooses to surrender, it will be absorbed as a subsidiary civilization of the Homo Sapiens Company and kept in captivity on its home planet as an observation target for civilization development experiments.
This is one of the predicted development paths in the simulation experiment.
In order for this plan to succeed, it is necessary to ensure that the Spark Base will not be detected by alien civilizations in the early stages of development, otherwise the other party will definitely unite and concentrate their forces to attack the Spark Base.
