Chapter 645 Life Metal
Li Qingye sorted the technical data of the intelligent machines into different categories.
There is no shortage of unique technical information among them, such as the one he has in his hand now.
This is a material called "life metal", which was plundered from a first-level civilization by the mechanical race in the later period.
This material is very peculiar. It is composed of a metal core made of nanostructured tungsten and rhodium. Through this metal core, a specific electric current can be injected to allow the metal core to attract tungsten and rhodium in the rock and condense on the outer shell. When the material accumulates enough, the metal core will replicate itself into two new metal cores.
This is only the first property of living metals.
The second characteristic is that the metal can attract other metal elements through a specific electric current, thereby constructing a new shell.
Due to the different raw materials, the new shell can be formed into various types, thus deriving a variety of functions.
After acquiring this technology, the expansion speed of the mechanical race increased a lot, and their bodies became indestructible and difficult to be completely destroyed.
There are only two ways to completely destroy the living metal.
One is high-temperature dissolution, and the other is the continuous impact of high-energy particle flows.
In fact, there is living metal inside each metal rectangle, but it is a pity that this thing cannot withstand the long years.
After all, the metal rectangle has no way of obtaining energy supplies in the process of crossing two star systems and can only remain in a frozen state.
In this case, the nanostructure of the metal core will gradually disintegrate. Once the nanostructure is destroyed, it means that the metal core has lost its "life".
According to the internal data of the robotic race, life metals can still be preserved in a low-temperature state for hundreds of thousands of Earth years without any way to obtain energy replenishment.
If there is a supply of energy and resources, life metals can be continuously renewed and basically used permanently.
The metal rectangle of tungsten and rhodium is the remains of the metal of life.
Li Qingye is very interested in this technology, but he will not copy it because there is another risk in doing so.
After all, life metal has been played with by the robotic race for millions of years, and they are well aware of its properties.
He did not forget that the intelligent machines had launched tens of millions of information storage devices into the Milky Way, and some of these information storage devices would definitely be picked up by the civilizations in the Milky Way.
Even if only one of them succeeds in reviving the intelligent machines, given their ruthless and aggressive civilization style, they will sooner or later expand massively in the Milky Way.
It is very likely that the Homo Sapiens company will encounter the Intelligent Machines in the future.
If life metal is used on a large scale, the machine race will definitely find backdoors and loopholes.
Therefore, Li Qingye handed this technology over to the Science Division and asked them to transform the technology so that it could only be used by human civilization.
In fact, there are three versions of Life Metal. The first and second generation versions were not created by the intelligent race. The third generation of Life Metal is a unique type of Life Metal that was transformed by the intelligent race based on their own racial characteristics.
Now the Homo sapiens company is trying to imitate the ideas of the intelligent machine race and create a life metal that is unique to Homo sapiens.
For example, using carbon and iron as auxiliary materials, plus tungsten, rhodium and gold, this idea is the most likely to be realized at present. Some laboratories have already developed semi-finished products, but some functions have not yet been realized.
The characteristic of living metals is that they can replicate themselves and form highly complex structures similar to cells.
Using this thing as the shell of spaceships, warships and bases can extend the service life of these things indefinitely. As long as there is sufficient energy, there is basically no need to worry about the service life.
Even in this resource-depleted void, as long as spaceships and warships have energy, they can extend their service life by devouring their own kind.
As for why the intelligent civilization did not install an energy system in the metal rectangle, the reason is very simple. The quasi-second-level civilization that attacked the intelligent civilization had extremely powerful detection technology.
Devices containing energy systems are easily detected. In order to continue the intelligent civilization, they adopted the final extreme solution and abandoned all energy systems.
Otherwise, these metal rectangles would not be able to hide the quasi-second-level civilization.
In order to survive and continue, all civilizations will do anything.
While Li Qingye was studying the technology of the intelligent machine race, he was also observing the situation of the "Morgan Intelligent Machine Race" in the mind world.
At the same time, he continued to expand the scale of cloned brains. As the scale of cloned brains increased, Li Qingye's thinking and computing power also skyrocketed, which made his research ability become more and more terrifying.
at the same time.
Sapiens is also continuing to expand, and there are traces of new humans on all the planets in the solar system.
As for the Venus colony, the floating island area of the Yungong base has expanded again to 49.38 million square kilometers , and the number of mining bases on the surface of Venus has reached 84,000.
As for the Martian colony, in addition to adding three space shipyards and repair plants in orbit within the Martian system, the number of base cities on the surface of Mars has increased from eight to twelve.
As for the colonies on Jupiter, the status quo of the Second Pangu World on Callisto was maintained, and the other large natural satellites of Jupiter were either used as mining stars or industrial stars, and a Jupiter Space City (similar to the Vulcan City on Mars) was built.
However, the fastest-growing areas are still the Kubo Belt and the Outer Kubo Belt.
In order to strengthen vigilance against surrounding planetary systems, six unmanned space cities have been built, mining bases have been established on 39 dwarf planets, and 52 new high-speed warships have been deployed.
The Cooper Colonization Division was also established specifically to manage the Cooper Belt.
The management and ordinary employees of Zhiren Company have an increasingly strong sense of crisis. With everyone working together and coupled with superior technology, the development speed is naturally rapid.
The free world, which is still playing in the mud on Earth, is stunned to see the speed at which Sapiens Company develops one step at a time every year.
You have to know that Galaxy 9 years is only 2031.
Sapiens has colonized the entire solar system, leaving not a single scrap for the free world.
In addition, Sapiens has recently implemented the strictest information control on the earth.
It requires all forces on Earth to obtain permission from Sapiens before transmitting information into outer space, otherwise it would be a betrayal of human civilization.
Even previously launched probes such as Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have recently been captured by Sapiens and brought back to Earth.
The other forces on Earth have no way to deal with the tyranny of the Homo Sapiens Company.
After all, the gap between level zero civilization and level one civilization is sometimes as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.
