Origin of Mars

Chapter 79 Afforestation Plan
"Though the two things don't have much to do with each other, I can feel...more and more problems are happening, isn't it, Kobayashi?"

Ding Hai's eyes gradually became deep, staring at Lin Lu like a pool of water.

At this moment, a flash of lightning struck, and Bai Lie's light instantly illuminated the whole world.

"Yes, Professor Ding, you."

Lin Lu can't say too many things, this is his death order.

"It's just a feeling."

Ding Hai suddenly leaned back and leaned on the sofa. At this moment, Lin Lu suddenly felt a long-lost smell from his body.

A breath of wisdom that sees the whole picture.

"Military forces around the world are in operation. A few days ago, I read the news reports, but this periodical was soon forcibly deleted, but I have always had the habit of cutting out newspapers and taking notes."

Ding Hai said cheerfully.

"The old people in the community said that there might be a war. A veteran in the community even took out all the medals from the past and showed them to everyone, haha."

Ding Hai's tone was relaxed, but Lin Lu's heart was still heavy.

Yes, the polarization of the whole world has become more and more serious unconsciously.

The lives of ordinary people are still full of flavor and happiness.

But what they didn't know was that not only the sun was hanging above their heads, but also a giant sword that was getting sharper.

This giant sword is not without the possibility of falling.

It is this contrast that makes Lin Lu feel uncomfortable, and sometimes even falls into self-doubt.

At this time, a pair of warm hands were suddenly placed on his shoulders.

"Xiao Lin, give Lao Yu a few words for me. If you find it too difficult, slow down, or even stop."

"Don't be too hasty, no one will blame him, you are fighting for the country of Hua, and fighting for all human beings."

Ding Hai spoke slowly, and carefully folded the letter paper in front of Lin Lu, and put it into an old notebook.

"Professor Ding, you"

"Tell Lao Yu, I'll clean up and I'll go find you the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"No, Professor Ding, you can tell me when you are ready, there will be a private jet waiting for you at any time."

"private plane?"

"We have to go to country M, an organization called STH, everyone is waiting for us."

Lin Lu looked at Ding Hai excitedly and explained.

"STH"

Ding Hai muttered this word, suddenly shook his head and smiled, and solemnly said to Lin Lu:

"I understand. I hope that my old blood can live again, hahaha."

Fang Liang lowered his body, gently stroking the broad and tough blade, its texture was like some kind of metal sheet.

Information about the plant is immediately displayed on the side of the mask.

【No. IV-7】

[Adult body size is about 2.3 meters]

[With strong windproof characteristics, the lushness of the root system increases with the increase of water storage capacity]

[Trying to generate new genes to reduce the maximum demand for water sources]

In the current experimental field, Fang Liang has reduced most of the food crops and planted other types of plants instead.

After all, in the origin base, most of the robots cannot share fresh and sweet fruits and vegetables with Fang Liang.

Although there are now two more astronauts, Fang Liang has already thought about stuffing them with a bunch of different fresh fruits every day. It's not a problem to put it there.

Using the existing plant seeds in the origin base as the basis for cultivation, Fang Liang's Biological Research Center has successfully bred several plants that may be grown on a large scale on Mars.

The plant numbered IV-7 in front of me is the latest research success, and it has reached the seventh generation gene template.

Compared with ordinary plants, its leaves are broad and tough, and it grows in a special way, which can minimize the damage caused by sandstorms.

The Biological Research Center has added a certain metal element to the genes of this type of plant to give it this special ability.

But it is far from enough to grow on the surface of Mars for a long time.

Water source is also one of the keys.

Under the surface of Mars, the moisture content in the soil, and the storage of groundwater, is almost zero percent.

Therefore, Fang Liang needs to provide water for these plants for a long time.

They have a cactus-like structure that can store a lot of water and don't need to draw additional water for a very long time.

So along with the derived equipment there is a new type of maintenance robot.

They should be called rangers.

With a brand-new armor setting, all programs exist to protect these green lights and shadows.

The forest guards will watch over these plants around the clock, and while supplying them with water, they will also feed back the latest real-time data to Fang Liang.

But now, how to use the least amount of water to radiate the most vigorous vitality is the biggest problem that Fang Liang needs to solve.

The current planting area is about [-] hectares around the original base.

If the planting program of these plants can be successful, the significance it represents will be extremely significant.

Fang Liang couldn't believe what it would be like to see a touch of eye-catching green in this barren land.

Green means life, and this is just the first step in Fangliang's expansion plan.

And just as Fang Liang was gratifiedly watching the rows of green creatures growing in the culture medium, Zero's communication request suddenly appeared on the side of the mask.

Fang Liang quickly picked it up, and at the same time as Zero's voice sounded, a report data also appeared in front of his eyes.

"Sir, the long-distance radar of the exploration vehicle has sensed a strange trace, which is 4.37 light-years away from Mars, in a galaxy called Centaurus."

"Centaurus?"

Fang Liang suddenly realized something, and quickly flipped through the report.

Under Zero's influence, Fang Liang also possessed a certain amount of scientific knowledge at this time, and when he saw a certain paragraph of this report, his body trembled subconsciously.

"Is it the trace left by a certain spaceship when it accelerated?"

Fang Liang asked in horror.

"According to the currently known information, this is just speculation. The trace is the area left by the space distortion. Although it only took a moment, it was still captured by us."

Zero replied.

"Space Distortion."

Fang Liang muttered, and suddenly thought of something: "Is it the space warp brought about by the curvature engine?"

"It is highly probable, but it may also be the impact of some black holes. The relevant departments are doing their best to analyze it."

Zero nodded.

"Zero, what is the maximum speed our exploration vehicle can achieve?"

Fang Liang was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked.

"Less than one-thousandth of the speed of light."

"Is there any aircraft that can reach the speed of light in the blueprint of the third stage?"

"I can't answer this question, but sir, in this universe, the speed of all things with static mass will not reach the speed of light, and, even at the speed of light, it is still very difficult to explore the universe, because the universe is too big, At present, the diameter of the visible region has reached 93 billion light-years."

"The only methods we can usually use are warp speed engines, and anti-gravity engines and plasma power that have not yet been developed."

Fang Liang's slightly stupid question was answered in detail by Zero.

He suddenly realized this point, no matter how powerful the technological level of the origin base is, the maximum speed of all aircraft can only infinitely approach 90.00% [-] of the speed of light.

The universe I live in seems to have an upper limit.

But even if a vehicle could travel between stars at sublight speeds, it would take thousands of years to cover a distance of one light-year.

"Lock the location of this trace."

Fang Liang put aside his thoughts, and immediately said to Ling: "Find out the cause as soon as possible, and see if it is a trace left by an alien aircraft."

"Understood, sir, if the result is obtained, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Zero replied, and immediately hung up the communication.

Fang Liang, who was in the experimental field, suddenly fell into deep thought when he saw the green eyes.

The more things he came into contact with, the deeper and deeper Fang Liang's understanding of the universe became. From being at a loss at the beginning to strategizing now, Fang Liang already has sufficient confidence to develop Mars into his first planet.

But the news that Ling conveyed undoubtedly made Fang Liang immediately vigilant.

You must know that the origin base at this time is still at the level of a planetary civilization. Like Blue Star, it basically understands the chemical elements and physical laws existing in the universe, and can reach other planets in this star system. Limited to high-speed engine technology, it is still unable to break through the star system.

However, Origin Base and Blue Star have one notable feature, that is, Fang Liang has mastered the technology of controllable nuclear fusion, which is equivalent to making an artificial sun, while the technological civilization on Blue Star is only equivalent to about 0.7 of this level. .

And above the planetary level civilization, it is the star level civilization.

Civilizations at this level can travel interstellar through the technology of "warp speed engine", so that they can visit another star system at will, and at the same time, they can build large energy devices around stars to collect star energy to deal with huge energy consumption.

Since it has begun to contact intelligent life on other planets, the range of activities of this type of civilization has reached a distance of more than 10 light years, and it can basically achieve a longer lifespan through cloning technology.

Even to achieve immortality in the true sense.

According to Zero, if the blueprint of the third stage can produce warp speed engines and a series of inter-galaxy equipment, then the origin base should also be able to successfully enter the class of star-level civilization.

At this time, what Fang Liang should pay most attention to is this unknown civilization that suddenly appeared in his sight.

The trail it leaves is only about 4 light-years away.

This distance is not far away for them. In contrast, they only need to spend a very short time to reach the solar system where Fang Liang is located.

This is what makes Fang Liang most afraid.

If they were malicious, Fang Liang didn't think he had the ability to stop them.

So now, the technological improvement of the origin base is imminent.

The only things I can rely on are these few transportation tracks that successfully lead to space.

And the resources of an entire Mars.

Fang Liang quickly walked out of the experimental field and returned to the command room of the origin base.

He began to flip through the blueprints in the reference room.

The blueprints of the second stage have all been unlocked, and the upper layers are all types of robots, which belong to basic equipment, have all been manufactured, and are constantly being expanded and transformed.

These are the backbone of the origin base, and they are indispensable ingredients.

For a civilization, military power often determines many things.

Weak countries have no diplomacy, this sentence is not without reason.

Thinking of this, Fang Liang took a look at the existing reserve of ordnance robots in the origin base. This huge number made Fang Liang feel a little relieved.

Every ordnance robot is an absolutely loyal soldier, and they will execute Fang Liang's orders with [-]% seriousness. From this point alone, the advantages of intelligent machines over artificial intelligence have been completely eliminated. opened.

Ordnance robots also make the perfect choice based on the existing environment.

If an interstellar war is to be launched, these seemingly tiny combat units will be continuously produced from the surface of Mars and sent to the space region through ion transport pipelines.

The most top-level ordnance armor is undoubtedly the blood throat, which has evolved to the third generation armor model, and can tear the throat of the enemy like a cheetah on the battlefield.

It's a pity that there is no use for them on Mars. Fang Liang feels very sorry for this.

"Curvature Engine."

While Fang Liang was muttering, at the same time, he was slowly unlocking the blueprint for the third stage.

A whole row of light blue data boards was emitting light, and the light became more and more intense. When Fang Liang put his palm on the sensor, the light reached the peak in an instant, and then dimmed after a few seconds.

Afterwards, rows of brand-new production templates suddenly appeared on Fang Liang's mask.

The size grew larger as it went further, and Fang Liang even saw a space destroyer of the J-star.

Fang Liang's heart skipped a beat when he saw the slender hull in the profile picture.

Let's do it a little bit first, let's talk about building the first space dock first.

While Fang Liang was busy in the base, Lin Changsu and Chen Ze suddenly found a very strange place in the dozens of kilometers away from the origin base.

It was a stone pillar nearly tens of meters high, standing on the plain on the west side.

This is a very incredible thing, how could there be such a tall stone pillar in this wind-swept plain.

"Chen Ze."

Lin Changsu quickly patted the shoulder of the person beside him: "Look there! There is a stone pillar!"

"Stone pillar?!"

Chen Ze hurriedly looked in the direction Lin Changsu was pointing at. He seemed to be unable to see clearly, so he raised the camera and adjusted the focus.

"Isn't that a stone pillar? It's a Sharon Roll?!"

Chen Ze's voice suddenly changed, because in his line of sight, this "stone pillar" was constantly rotating and expanding, and within a few seconds, it had expanded to nearly several times its size.

It is no longer a stone pillar about tens of meters away. Before Lin Changsu could react, this dragon roll had already raged on this plain!
