Origin of Mars

Chapter 65 Wake Up
Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, at least for now, represent the future of mankind.

It is not difficult to understand that nuclear fusion is the synthesis of two atoms with a small mass into a relatively large atom.

Nuclear fission is the splitting of a large atom into two smaller atoms.

Both processes release a lot of energy.

The energy source of atomic bombs and nuclear power plants is nuclear fission, which produces a large amount of radiation and pollutants.

The product of nuclear fusion, the hydrogen bomb, is more powerful than the atomic bomb, and the pollution it causes is negligible.

But for humans on the blue star, the realization of controlled nuclear fusion will be extremely difficult for at least the next few decades.

Because there are two conditions for achieving controllable nuclear fusion, one is indispensable.

Temperature, at least a temperature above 1500 million degrees Celsius.

Density, there needs to be enough atoms inside the container.

The product of these two points is the energy released by nuclear fusion.

To give a very simple example, the sun, which is about [-] million kilometers away from the blue star, is the most perfect nuclear fusion container.

This beautiful star relies on a strong gravitational force to complete nuclear fusion.

The powerful gravitational force not only brings a high temperature of up to 1500 million degrees Celsius, and an internal pressure of more than 3000 billion times, but also provides a perfect enclosed space.

In such a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, the sun is a huge controllable nuclear fusion reactor, endlessly outputting huge amounts of energy to the outside, nurturing planets one after another.

And Zero has made a very perfect improvement on Fang Liang's plan.

Since the environment of high temperature and high pressure is not difficult to create, the difficulty is that they are difficult to be constrained. If there is no way to stably constrain these two conditions in one category, it will only create unimaginable disasters.

These round towers did it, and their full name is called inverted U-shaped circulation energy-concentrating towers, which are the most advanced existence in the blueprint of the second stage.

Its core temperature has reached 2000 million degrees Celsius, and it can continuously and stably discharge, so that all deuterium elements can react in this huge container.

And the core materials in these energy-gathering towers are the mysterious metal plates that Fang Liang obtained from the top of the underground ruins.

Even Fang Liang did not expect that these dark metal plates, which could not maintain their original shape under the Huiyuan sword, would have such high heat resistance and pressure resistance.

The Institute of Mineral Elements analyzed its composition and discovered its strange internal structure.

It's as if someone has remodeled and arranged every metal atom to a certain extent.

It's hard to imagine the miracle of such a large-area metal plate!
With Fang Liang's current level of technology, it is impossible to imitate it, and it can only be reused with the only titanium blade that can cut it.

It is also these dark metal plates that three tall energy-gathering towers rise from the ground, injecting new blood into every robot in the origin base.

In the bird's-eye view of the origin base from the satellite, the three towering energy-concentrating towers can also be clearly seen, but the eyes on the blue star cannot discern its true purpose.

Because no one can imagine that controllable nuclear fusion has been completed on this Mars base that has only survived for three months.

It is hard to imagine what kind of evolution this base of origin will evolve in a few months.

And the plasma transportation track is based on the product above the stable nuclear energy.

It uses the ground as the base, and uses countless micro-manufacturing robots to spiral upwards until it breaks through the atmosphere and reaches the outer space.

This is just the first track, which is like a long and stable giant elevator, transporting equipment such as ordnance robots into space.

This facility is of great strategic significance, and it represents that Fang Liang has moved from the ground of Mars to more distant space.

The process that human beings spent thousands of years and hundreds of years on the blue star was abruptly shortened dozens of times by Fang Liang.

As long as these two final equipment are built, the blueprint of the third stage will be completely unlocked.

Next, what Fang Liang wants to build is not just the basic factory building facilities.

Space fleets will be something that can be foreseen very quickly in the future.

Fang Liang guessed that there should be a lot of news about them in the blueprint of the third stage.

These complex blueprints only provide an overall design idea. In fact, the Machinery Research Center often requests Fang Liang to modify some unreasonable parts of the blueprints.

Fang Liang basically agreed with the mastermind's request after countless calculations.

Later, Fang Liang would sometimes receive different applications for authorization from various masterminds during the day, and these notifications were densely arranged on Fang Liang's mask, making his head dizzy.

So Fang Liang simply handed over part of the decision-making power of the blueprint to Ling.

Facts have proved that Fang Liang's decision is very correct, and Ling has lived up to his painstaking efforts, greatly reducing his workload, and sometimes even drawing inferences from one instance to create a new blueprint for equipment.

After having enough energy, almost all robots show an attitude of never being tired, except sometimes because of the wear and tear of the part bearings, they need to lie quietly in the mechanical support and completely sleep, and the maintenance robot will put a group of A group of brand new mechanical parts are put into their bodies, giving off new vitality.

Even at night, rows of laser lights will turn this mechanical city into a city that never sleeps. From a distance, it looks exactly like the capital where Blue Star held grand banquets in ancient times.

But only when you walk in, you will find that there are no charming dancers and intoxicating wines, only silver-white metal buildings and robots passing under the light, only the sound of tracks crushing gravel, The surface of Mars at night can reach a temperature of nearly minus [-] degrees Celsius.

Due to the absence of industrial pollution, as long as there is no dust storm at night, at a suitable location and without the cover of a thick atmosphere, you can see a brilliant and beautiful star link swimming from the farthest distance of the field of vision to a quiet and dark world. The valley plain drifts away.

Fang Liang would often sit on a mountain peak that was not hit by strong winds, looking at the mechanical city shrouded in white light below, and the bright galaxy above his head seemed to be within reach.

Indeed, he hadn't seen such a beautiful scene for a long time. It was very difficult to see such a pure starry sky on a blue star with severe atmospheric pollution.

At least when I think back to that time, it may have been the scene of my childhood.

The sinking starlight will gradually calm down a person's mind.

Under the cover of the head armor, Fang Liang couldn't even hear the sound of the wind. He could only slowly see that the starry sky seemed to be changing slightly. Time seemed to stop flowing. Only the splendor in front of his eyes and the hard touch at his hand were real. of.

This wonderful feeling is the happiest time of the day for Fang Liang.

He was originally a person who was not good at talking and communicating, and it might be his greatest luck to be with countless mechanical creatures at this time.

But now, the arrival of two humans seems to have subtly changed this situation.

"Well"

Lin Changsu covered his head, straightened up subconsciously, his palm suddenly touched a hard surface, which made him startled, jumped up from the metal bed, and looked around in horror.

Why are you here?

What about that huge face?

It was all silver and white, and he seemed to be trapped in a metal box. The only thing that made him feel a little familiar was a few tables and chairs, which were placed in the center, forming an absolutely symmetrical picture.

Not only them, but everything in this house seems to be in near-perfect symmetry, except for some... fruit on the table!

It was indeed a pile of melons and fruits of various shapes. Lin Changsu had never seen such a strange thing. There were cyan fruits that resembled triangular shapes, and there were also fruits that were connected end to end, resembling a ring-shaped fruit.

Lin Changsu walked to the table, carefully picked up a triangular fruit, and lifted it up. Under the illumination of the light, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be liquid flowing in it.

The only one that looks familiar is an oval fruit covered with stripes. It feels like the rough texture of a cantaloupe, but the stripes are more delicate, revealing an unknown beauty.

Are these fruits left behind?
Lin Changsu patted his head, recalling the last scene he was in just now.

That weird room, and that huge face.

Even thinking about it now, Lin Changsu still felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart, and those pictures seemed to flash before his eyes again.

It has to be said that they far underestimated the extraordinary power of this civilization.

Lin Changsu didn't even understand whether the disappearance of the two rules that happened before was due to hallucinations, or because this civilization actually made them happen through some means!
Lin Changsu couldn't imagine it, and couldn't imagine it.

"Why are we here?"

Chen Ze's voice suddenly came from his ear, and Lin Changsu's body shook suddenly, because Chen Ze's voice did not come from the headset, but echoed in the silver-white room.

He scratched his head and found that his protective clothing had been taken off his head.

But I was still breathing freely, this almost instinctive movement was engraved in my bones, and I didn't react immediately.

And Chen Ze also watched Lin Changsu stunned in place, and realized something after a few seconds, scratching his head, it was empty.

"So we're locked up now?"

Lin Changsu sat down on the metal bed in frustration.

He walked around the room, and there were small holes at the bottom of the wall, and he could feel a surge of air flow when he put his hand on it.

There should be equipment similar to an oxygen generator behind this.

There is even a small reservoir on the other side, a pipe turned down from the dark place, as long as a button on this pipe is lightly touched, a very cold and clear water will gushes out from the mouth of the pipe.

"Have you ever seen people who are locked up have fruit to eat?"

Chen Ze took a fruit curiously, thought for a while, and asked Lin Changsu, "Do you think it's edible?"

"They don't need to harm us, or they want to use us as experimental subjects, just like mice. It's not impossible, so I don't recommend you to eat them."

Lin Changsu took off his protective clothing completely, and the momentary sense of comfort made him heave a long breath.

"Too."

Chen Ze weighed the heavy green fruit in his hand, and put it back on the table, "This should be the product of that experimental field, does this civilization still cultivate crops?"

"It should be mechanized and automatic production. They may be purely for experiments. Aren't all robots here, who will eat these fruits?"

Lin Changsu took out a tube of water from the scarred sealed bag, took a sip cautiously, and at the same time gently moved out the camera with dense wiring on the head of the protective suit, and placed it together with the protective suit on a certain part of the metal bed. locations.

Through this position, you can roughly see the specific appearance of the entire house.

Lin Changsu doesn't know how long the two of them have been in a coma. The equipment that can communicate with the AIM base is in the Shihuo spacecraft, but from the current point of view, there should be no possibility for them to go back now.

So letting this camera device capture as many pictures as possible is the only thing they can do now.

Like him, Chen Ze placed the camera in a good position, and took out a tube of drinking water to drink a couple of sips.

They won't mess with anything until they figure out the current situation.

"I'm already kind of numb, to be honest."

Lin Changsu looked at the surrounding environment, and suddenly smiled helplessly.

"No matter what the situation is now, it will not shock me too much."

"Almost, take a break and think about it."

Chen Ze also shook his head, "We should still be in this alien base, but I don't know. Can we leave this room on our own initiative?"

"I feel like we are two goldfish in a fishbowl, with oxygen, water and food."

The exhausted Lin Changsu simply lay down on his back again, and closed his eyes: "Now I finally know why some people are advocating the cancellation of zoo circuses and other facilities. I already feel the pain that is gradually spreading."

Chen Ze didn't speak, but stood up suddenly, walked to the edge of the wall, and tapped lightly.

"It's hollow."

"Being able to better maintain the temperature in the house, there may be some kind of thermostat in this room."

"They're sweet, but the kindness creeps me out more and more."

Lin Changsu slowly opened his eyes and looked up.

"How much do they really know about us?"

"I always feel that they seem to be a part of Blue Star, maybe it's just my illusion."

Chen Ze continued to walk around the house, "Didn't you notice that the layout of this room is very deliberate? They seem to have specially arranged it like this."

"why?"

Lin Changsu said, "It's like some people keep fish. Do they always want to arrange fish tanks similar to the original environment?"
