Chapter 649 A Perfect Match
February 2, Xinghe Year 10.
Mars.
Mount Paunis in the equatorial region is also known as the Three-Eyed Mountain Range.
Mount Paunis is a mountain formed by volcanic eruptions. It is arranged in a straight line with Mount Askris and Mount Asia on both sides. In addition, the mountains are similar in size, so it was named "Three Eyes Mountains" by the Mars colony of the Homo Sapiens Company.
Since the volcanic activity on Mars is so weak that it is insignificant, the Mars Colonization Branch built a city - Trimacle City - on Mount Paunis.
The Three-Eyed City is located halfway up the mountain on the west side of Mount Paunis.
At this time, Li Feng, the city manager of Sanmu City, was accompanying Jiang Mingxuan, the head of the science department, and Dr. Joseph Yuri, a nuclear physicist, on the viewing platform on the west side of Sanmu City.
A red Mars, and above the vast earth, there is endless sand and rocks.
There is a light blue sun hanging in the sky.
The three people were directly exposed to the Martian surface atmosphere. After absorbing the technologies of the six-clawed civilization and the intelligent mechanical civilization, the new generation of space suits have become light and thin.
The tactile sensing system on the surface of this space suit can achieve ultra-extension of body sensations, and there is no obvious sense of obstruction when wearing it.
Jiang Mingxuan turned around and asked, "Doctor, Mars should meet the requirements, right?"
Dr. Joseph Yuri nodded and said, "Mars is indeed possible, but the project is a bit difficult and may require the mobilization of a large number of manpower resources."
However, Jiang Mingxuan smiled and shook his head: "Doctor, you are too immersed in theoretical research. The company now is on two different levels from the company a year ago."
"Oh? Is there another new technology?" Dr. Joseph Yuri was very curious.
Jiang Mingxuan took a briefcase from his assistant, and after entering the exclusive key, the briefcase slowly popped open, revealing a 500 ml glass bottle frozen inside.
Seeing the silver-gray particles in the glass bottle, Dr. Joseph Yuri asked curiously, "Mr. Minister, what is this?"
"Life Metal."
"Life metal?"
Jiang Mingxuan threw the glass bottle directly off the observation deck.
The glass bottle shattered into pieces after falling from an observation deck several hundred meters high, and the silver-gray particles were scattered on the surrounding rocks and sand.
He turned to his assistant and instructed, "Let the energy city in the asteroid belt start supplying energy!"
"yes."
In the asteroid belt 280 million kilometers away , there is a space city - Energy City.
An energy city, as the name suggests, is a city that produces energy.
This space city uses water-ice asteroids in the asteroid belt as nuclear fuel to produce electricity on a large scale.
Then, magnetic monopole crystals are used as an energy transmission system to achieve long-distance transmission of electrical energy.
After receiving the order from the Science Division, the long-distance power supply service with order number 2088 was officially launched.
As a steady stream of electrical energy was transmitted to the vicinity of Mount Paunis on Mars, the magnetic monopole crystals within the living metal quickly provided energy to the living metal.
This version of life metal is a preliminary improved variety by the Sapiens Company. The degree of improvement is not too great, and only an additional magnetic monopole crystal function has been added.
The magnetic monopole crystal technology is unique to the Homo sapiens civilization. Neither the six-claw civilization nor the intelligent mechanical civilization has the related technology.
As for quantum communication, neither civilization pointed it out.
The magnetic monopole crystal technology of the Homo Sapiens company has finally made a breakthrough recently after absorbing part of the technology of the intelligent machinery civilization.
However, this breakthrough is not that the service life of magnetic monopole crystals has been extended, but that long-distance multiplication technology has been acquired.
Through this technology, although the service life of the magnetic monopole crystal is still only about 20 years, the two mutually attractive magnetic monopole crystals can be synchronized and self-proliferated through the resonant electric field synthesis method of the two released magnetic monopole crystals.
The magnetic monopole crystals that self-grow in this way have the ability to communicate and transmit electricity over long distances, and their service life is about 20 years.
In other words, even if they fly to the edge of the universe, two mutually attractive magnetic monopole crystals can synchronize their self-reproduction to ensure that communication will never be interrupted.
This technology was developed by drawing on the self-reproduction mechanism of living metals and in-depth research by Sapiens on the principles of magnetic monopole crystal communication and power transmission.
Through this technology, the life metal particles that Jiang Mingxuan had just thrown down obtained a steady stream of energy. With the help of this energy, the life metal quickly extracted various elements from the surrounding rocks and sand.
Less than an hour.
Life metal particles multiplied wildly on the surface around Mount Paunis at a rate that doubled every 5 minutes.
In one hour, it increased by 1× 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2… and doubled 12 times in a row, with a total multiplication multiple of 4096 times.
The initial weight of the life metal was only 5.7 kilograms, but at this time it reached more than 20 tons.
Looking at the silver-gray at the foot of the mountain, Dr. Joseph Yuri's eyes showed disbelief: "At this speed, it will only take a few days to cover the entire surface of Mars!"
Jiang Mingxuan explained with a smile: "That's right. After the life metal is combined with the magnetic monopole crystal, they have sufficient energy and no longer need to find energy on their own. Therefore, their reproduction speed is very fast."
"Of course, due to the limited tungsten resources on the surface, the expansion speed will slow down in the later stage, but we don't need them to cover the entire Mars. As long as their proliferation scale reaches 100 billion tons, they can stop."
In fact, the version of life metal produced by the Homo sapiens company is much more powerful than the version of life metal produced by the intelligent machine civilization.
The synchronous resonant power transmission of the magnetic monopole crystal alone has increased the reproduction speed of the Homo sapiens version of life metal by several orders of magnitude.
Dr. Joseph Yuri asked: "Mr. Minister, this thing is a bit like a nanorobot. Can they be used in construction projects?"
"Life metals are essentially nanorobots and can of course be used in engineering construction. That's why I'm confident that we can complete the Mars Ring Project quickly and at low cost." Jiang Mingxuan looked down at the ground at the foot of the mountain. The silver-gray color was still spreading wildly.
He chose Mount Paunis as the initial deployment location because, as a volcanic relic, Mount Paunis contains a large amount of tungsten, which can be used as raw material for the reproduction of life metals.
Jiang Mingxuan looked at the data on the holographic page: "It is estimated that in a few days or so, the amount of life metal will reach 100 billion tons. By then, we can start building the Mars ring."
"I'll wait and see." Joseph Yuri also became secretly excited.
