Chapter 629 Harvest Season
November 8, Xinghe Year 7 (2029).
The last section of track of the Earth's equatorial stratospheric railway has been installed, marking the completion of the entire railway line.
at the same time.
The area of the Venus Yungong base has also soared from more than 20,000 square kilometers to the current 17.39 million square kilometers.
The Second Pangu Project on Callisto completed coverage of the entire planet's surface.
At this time, looking from outer space, the entire surface of Callisto is composed of a series of regular hexagonal domes , each of which is 1,000 meters high.
Of course, this height is calculated based on the ground level of Callisto. Some highlands are definitely 1,000 meters high, while some canyons and crater lowlands are over 1,000 meters high.
At this time, above these regular hexagonal domes is actually the area where spacecraft are parked.
In order to achieve precise control of the climate of Callisto, the design department of the Second Pangu Realm also specially designed a large number of high towers, which contain nuclear power plants.
The surface temperature of the second Pangu world has risen to 2 to 11 degrees Celsius, and various climate zones have been divided.
At the same time, through the electrolysis of water and the combustion of elemental carbon, the atmosphere of the second Pangu world became very dense. At this time, the atmospheric pressure of the second Pangu world was 0.71 standard atmospheric pressure, with a nitrogen content of 62%, an oxygen content of 10%, a carbon dioxide content of 8%, a carbon monoxide content of 4%, a methane content of 3%, a hydrogen content of 1.2%, and a helium content of 0.8%. The remaining 10% was water vapor, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and the like.
A large number of clones of Earth creatures were thrown in, and the first batch of organisms to enter were mainly microorganisms and plants.
In addition, there are underground creatures and atmospheric creatures on Venus; underground creatures on the moon; underground creatures on Mars, and underwater creatures on Jupiter's satellites.
Finally, there are the microorganisms and plants from the six-clawed civilization.
These creatures were thrown in. Since the environment of the second Pangu world did not favor either side, they could compete freely here. Who could survive and become the final winner depended on their own abilities.
Li Qingye is inside the Arctic Tower of the Second Pangu Realm through a synchronous robot. This tower is one of the two largest control centers inside the Second Pangu Realm. The height above the dome surface alone is 6,000 meters, and it goes another 6,000 meters underground.
The interior of Callisto's North Pole Tower.
He looked at the images from various monitoring stations.
At this time, there is already a large amount of liquid water in the low-lying areas of Callisto, which was collected from asteroids attached to Jupiter.
The existence of liquid water on the surface, as well as different temperature difference areas and light intensity, coupled with differences in terrain, will form air currents, evaporation, clouds, rainfall, rivers and the like.
"A large forest has actually formed here?" Li Qingye saw a large number of "trees" similar to cacti and umbrellas growing on the plains around the Black Lake.
“Mr. Chairman, these are fungi,” explained Maung Song, the head of the base.
"Fungi?" Li Qingye immediately realized: "Is it because of gravity? Which planet do these fungi come from?"
"It mainly comes from the underground ecosystem of Venus, and a small part comes from the underground ecosystem of Mars."
In the holographic projection, these mushroom trees are very large, with the tallest reaching about 37 meters, and most can grow to more than ten meters.
Li Qingye has already guessed the reason for these fungal mutations. On the one hand, it is because the gravity of Callisto is much smaller than that of Venus and Mars; on the other hand, the surface of Callisto after being transformed is not only rich in water resources and minerals, but also has a very suitable temperature.
At the same time, the Black Lake and the Black Lake Plain are actually a basin formed by the remains of a crater. The Black Lake Basin, with a radius of about 56 kilometers, has formed a relatively closed climate system due to its terrain, resulting in high humidity, heavy fog, and moderate sunlight intensity.
Therefore, the environment in the Black Lake Basin is very suitable for fungal reproduction.
The underground fungi on Venus and Mars that successfully landed on the beach frantically occupied the living space of other organisms and began to transform the surrounding environment, making it more suitable for fungal reproduction and growth.
Li Qingye flipped through the relevant research reports of the base and quickly found relevant content about the mushroom forest in the Black Lake Basin.
"It's not photosynthesis? It's thermosynthesis?"
Meng Yingzhiguang, a researcher at the base, explained to him: "Mr. Chairman, this is because there is not much sunlight in their original ecology on their home planet. These fungi grow on geothermal heat."
Although Callisto has geothermal heat, these fungi obviously have no way of going deep underground, so they can only rely on the heat of sunlight to develop, which forms a development model similar to that of trees competing for sunlight.
The gravity on Callisto is relatively low, which is more conducive to the growth of larger organisms.
In addition, the life in the Venusian atmosphere also developed well in the sky of the Second Pangu World.
Li Qingye was looking through the relevant research reports while asking, "When do you plan to release the animals?"
Meng Yingzhi thought for a moment and said, "About half a year later."
Turning to the research report on the microorganisms and plants of the six-clawed civilization, Li Qingye discovered that these creatures of the six-clawed civilization are more adaptable than those in the solar system.
Li Qingye is very clear about this, because the genetic modification technology of the six-clawed civilization is quite good. In order to develop the large natural satellite of the giant star, they will definitely try every possible means.
After tens of thousands of years of transformation, those creatures have been transformed beyond recognition by the six-clawed people, and they have strong adaptability to the environments of various planets.
All kinds of strange microorganisms and plants are fighting in the second Pangu world, trying to occupy their own ecological niche.
In this crazy competition of natural selection, the genes of these creatures are also rapidly changing.
In order to ensure the genetic mutation of these organisms, the Second Pangu World even added a large amount of deuterium, tritium and carbon 14 to the injected water resources and carbon dioxide, allowing radioactivity to pollute the entire ecosystem of the Second Pangu World.
In this way, all the creatures in the entire Second Pangu World mutated wildly. In order to study these genetic mutations, the Science Division even added 12,000 relevant researchers here.
Although most of these mutations are bad, there are also benign ones and even very valuable gene sequences.
At least at this stage, the genetic rune research that Li Qingye and the Science Division have been focusing on has obtained a large number of new genetic samples after the second Pangu Realm was put into use.
As long as there are enough genetic samples, it will be easier to analyze the underlying logic of the genes - that is, the genetic runes.
This is also the reason why Li Qingye promoted the establishment of the second Pangu Realm.
Just as Li Qingye continued to investigate the second Pangu Realm, Bagheira hurriedly appeared here via a synchronous robot.
Bagheira looked a little anxious: "Sir, something happened..."
