The legend of Tiga

As the hottest planet in the solar system, Venus is called the Death Star. The surface temperature is generally around 400 to 500 degrees, and can even reach a terrifying high of nearly 1,000 degrees, which is higher than Mercury, the planet closest to the sun.

In such a fiery furnace, not to mention sophisticated instruments and equipment, even metal objects will soften or even melt. It is conceivable how difficult it is to want plants to grow and reproduce in such an environment, which is basically no different from growing vegetables in a furnace.

Therefore, even though Venus has a thick atmosphere, there is no thicker atmosphere in the entire solar system. Venus is not mentioned in TPC's planetary transformation plan. It only launched several unmanned experimental cabins to Venus to collect data, which is equivalent to the preliminary preparation of the project.

Anyone who has worked on a project knows that the "preliminary preparation" of a project and quantum have one thing in common, which is that there is maximum uncertainty.

It may not be long before the money is in place, allowing the project to officially start; or it may never be in place, leaving the project forever on the PPT stage.

This shows how harsh the environment on Venus is. The TPC, which is ambitiously advancing the New Frontiers Project and large-scale transformation of the planets in the inner system, has little interest in it. Although it has not been directly ruled out, it has almost given up on it temporarily.

In such a harsh environment, it is impossible to attempt to transplant Earth plants in a short or even long period of time, let alone carry out large-scale atmospheric transformation like on Mars, because instruments and equipment cannot operate for a long time in such a high temperature and high pressure environment, let alone people. The most advanced space suits currently available cannot last long.

But this artificial life form is different. It can survive in the Kuiper Belt where the surface temperature is close to absolute zero, and it can also drill into the core of the earth with a temperature of several thousand degrees and absorb the heat of the core. It can be seen how wide the upper and lower limits of temperature are.

The high temperature of hundreds or thousands of degrees on Venus is not worth mentioning at all compared to the high temperature of thousands of degrees in the earth's core. Therefore, for the plants on Earth, the extremely bad and harsh environment of Venus is nothing in front of this artificial life form. They can definitely grow normally and then reproduce profusely.

Not only Venus, but also in the solar system, the Milky Way, and even the universe, planets with harsh environments account for 99% of the total number of planets, and planets suitable for human habitation account for only 0.01 of the remaining 0.01. It is very likely that there are no planets that are completely suitable for humans.

This makes planetary transformation so important. The transformation of planets with instruments and equipment not only has high technological requirements, but also has slow effects and requires huge manpower and material resources.

In comparison, the biological transformation method of the Fabilas people is very easy to use. All you need to do is plant this genetically modified "plant" that can reproduce wildly, and then you don't have to worry about it. It will adjust its genes, adapt to the planetary environment, and reproduce on a large scale on its own. In the process of reproduction, it will transform the planetary environment in a targeted manner according to the "program" set in the genes.

If you really do it, you will sow a seed and wait to harvest a full warehouse of grain.

Of course, there are similar technologies on the science and technology side, that is, intelligent machinery, which uses artificial intelligence to control a large number of machines, mine minerals on the planet, build smart factories, produce more different types of robots, and then continue to mine minerals. In this way, while producing and manufacturing, and transforming the atmosphere, it can also achieve the effect of investing some money in the early stage and not having to worry about it later.

But the problem is that TPC's technology cannot reach this level, and there are no samples or cases to refer to, but for biological modification, there is a sample in front of us.

The only concern is that this thing could get out of control too easily.

As the creator, Fabius was unable to solve the problem and instead lost control again and again.

This is so unsafe.

After all, the ultimate goal of transforming the planet is to allow humans to live safely, not to create a wedding dress for other things.

Swish!
The powerful double-slashing spear was swung, drawing a huge crescent moon in the air, like silver lightning, hitting several vines that were coming towards it, causing several bright sparks to explode.

The tremendous force bounced the vines back at once. Some of them even bounced back so hard that they hit the ball, causing the ball's rotation speed to increase by two points.

"When it's time to make a decision, make it. Don't let it mess you up!"

Tiga muttered to himself, stretching his right arm straight back, and the powerful double-slashing spear slowly rotated with his wrist. Light energy continuously poured into it, making the originally silver spear gradually glow. In a flash, it was as bright as a fire, and it was like a glow stick in his hand.

So much energy gathered at one point, even the aftermath emitted inadvertently, made people feel frightened. Even the slow-moving artificial life form instinctively felt the danger. Although it was still spinning non-stop, it waved hundreds or even thousands of tentacles all over its body, trying to deter the enemy from approaching.

just
This threat looked a bit funny, because it couldn't reach Tiga at all, and it was spinning around, making it even more impossible to hit anyone.

This is the biggest problem of not having the ability to fly in space. It is like a fish out of water. Even if it is the dominant fish in the water, it will become a chopping block on land.

Just like this ball now, it is invincible within the planet. Even Tiga has to wear space armor and hold double lances before he dares to rush into the core area.

But in the universe, even Dyna, who is still in his novice stage, can kill this thing.

This is the difference.

But now, what Tiga has to do is——

Cut it off!

When the energy accumulated to the maximum, Tiga moved, accelerating from zero to dozens of Mach in less than a second. He instantly arrived in front of the core of the artificial life form, swung his arms forward vigorously, and made a slashing motion.

Swish!
A silver moon suddenly appeared in the void, and along with it, the spinning ball was split in the middle, becoming two halves, one on the left and one on the right. The ball was still spinning, but due to the separation, there was a speed difference, and the two halves were spinning further and further away.

But Tiga thought this was not enough, so he struck back with another knife.

Swish!
Another silver light flashed across, and the two halves were split into four.

This is not over yet. He raised his empty left hand, and the gem-like dot on his forehead immediately lit up. Then a thin beam of light shot out from it, sweeping across the core of the artificial life form. Wherever it passed, balls of fire burst out, and finally caused a big explosion. The whole thing was blown into pieces and exploded into a huge fireball, which instantly submerged Tiga, who was close at hand, and continued to expand until it became hundreds or thousands of pieces.

At this moment, a sun lit up again in the Kuiper Belt, illuminating many planets and meteorites.

It’s just that this light comes quickly and goes away quickly.

Before I could even see it clearly, the light disappeared at an even faster speed than when it appeared.

The void of the universe returned to darkness again, and Tiga appeared again. The difference was that the flame shrank into his hand and condensed into a small meat ball in the palm of his hand.

It is soft and pink, and looks like an animal's brain, with an uneven surface and many grooves, and only a large number of pale roots at the bottom.

The two artificial life forms have completely merged into one over a long period of time. It is not even a state of you in me and me in you, but they have completely merged together and become another individual.

This is the initial state of the artificial life form, when it is not activated.

Tiga let out a soft sigh and then put the thing away.

The light shone, and the space armor on his body and the double slashing spears in his hands disappeared, revealing Tiga's original appearance.

"time to go."

As Tiga spoke, he turned around and flew towards the solar system. His whole body was glowing, and his huge body quickly turned into a ball of light. He had already turned into light and was flying in the form that was most suitable for cosmic light. He opened a wormhole in front of him and crossed the vast universe in one second. He arrived at the orbit of Mars, passed through the thicker atmosphere, and entered the city of Mars.

The traces of the battle are still there, but the builders of the Martian city have already started working, clearing the ruins, building temporary sealed cabins, repairing the damage, and replacing the destruction. They are busy but not chaotic, but rather seem orderly.

These are high-quality and knowledgeable builders. They learn scientific knowledge and use professional machinery. They don’t have to put in much effort. In most cases, they just need to use a tablet to operate smart devices.

This is also the reason why the construction of Mars City is so fast. After all, manpower is limited, but machines can operate continuously and their efficiency is much faster than manual labor.

Despite experiencing two consecutive monster crises, Director Fukami's inspection plan was not affected. Instead, he deliberately extended it for a few days to visit more places and meet more Martian builders.

If for no other reason than to give them peace of mind.

After all, the continuous appearance of monsters on Mars will definitely make people panic. Although many people will not say it due to discipline and other factors, they must have thoughts in their hearts. At this time, they need to be reassured, at least let them know that TPC will never give up on them or ignore them.

What would everyone think if the leaders left in a hurry?

Oh, you guys felt it was dangerous after just two days and quickly returned to Earth, but we have to stay here for several more years, aren’t we doomed?

Therefore, the more it is at this time, the more we must not panic or get confused, otherwise the morale of the army will be disrupted.

For this reason, Director Fukami extended the trip and asked his secretary to re-plan the inspection plan, doubling the number of places to be visited, and all of them were first-line construction areas with harsh climates and a certain degree of danger. Previously, they only planned to go to two individual places to take pictures, but now Director Fukami will lead the team to the worst and most dangerous places, not just one, but all of them.

It’s not that no one tried to dissuade them, but they were all rejected by Director Fukami.

Danger?

We only go there once, but the workers are there all year round.

Just this one sentence makes people speechless.

Although classes exist and the gap between people is as huge as heaven and earth, on the surface, they still have to say the same thing. The higher the position one is in, the more approachable and amiable one has to appear. On the contrary, those insignificant people below are so arrogant.

Chiba Makoto agrees with Director Fukami's approach. He is worthy of being a director because he has a big picture and knows how to use the situation to turn a bad situation into a good one.

Generally speaking, there is a gap between two groups of monsters. Mars has just destroyed the Sphia synthesizer, and the enemy also needs time to redeploy and launch an attack. It will be safe for a period of time. This will circle around Mars more, which can not only show the importance of Mars, but also show courage and the attitude of standing with everyone.

From construction sites to botanical gardens, from the public to workers, I met scientists and saw builders.
Director Fukami is extremely busy. He gives speeches wherever he goes to encourage and inspire everyone. The thing he talks about the most is safety and the determination of the headquarters.

Just one day after the attack on the Sphia Sphere, Director Fukami took out a defense plan for Mars City and informed everyone in Mars City how much resources the headquarters would invest and how many lines of defense would be built on Mars, including but not limited to missile systems, armed satellites, space stations, aerospace fighters, etc. In the long-term plan, a space fleet would also be built.

Of course, the last item is a PPT project, which looks great but its implementation is far away.

Of course you have to believe, but just a little bit will be enough.

After all, a space fleet is not just one or two space battleships, but a whole systematic fleet. The required talents cannot be gathered even if the current TPC is emptied, let alone run it.

Ten years for the army, a hundred years for the navy, and a thousand years for the space army. This is no joke.

Of course, this is a real space fleet, not the "small fleet" in the TPC plan that only travels near the planets or at most within the solar system.

How big is the difference? If the real space fleet is compared to an aircraft carrier fleet, then the fleet built by the TPC plan is the model of a small river ditch.

Neither their scale nor their firepower were on the same level, and their experience was close to zero.

As for the cosmic star map, it is blank.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's human understanding of the universe is like looking at the sky from a well.

We haven’t even figured out the solar system yet, and the farthest we’ve reached so far is the edge of the Kuiper Belt, let alone traveling to the galaxy.

Not to mention, of this space fleet, only the Atlantis is available so far, and the mobile fortress has just completed the joint acceptance step, and is currently selecting a date for its official delivery and use.

Which space fleet has only two ships?

This is more than just playing house, it is simply playing house in loneliness.

However, although it is old-fashioned, it is very useful.

Director Fukami's running around and talking a lot have really put a lot of people at ease. Although there are still discussions, people are no longer in a panic. Most of the fear in everyone's hearts has been eliminated, and this can be seen from the work efficiency.

How can you get work done quickly and well when you are distracted? Only when you focus back on your work can you become very efficient.

According to statistics, wherever Director Fukami visited, the work efficiency of the next day would be greatly improved. This shows that leadership inspections and speeches are still useful, and the motivational effect is very good. (End of this chapter)
