cosmic hegemony

Chapter 506, the power of life

Among the clouds as high as [-] meters, the crown of the towering tree is as huge as a mountain, and the dense branches and leaves form a green world, bringing a trace of life to this barren world.

Among these dense leaves, fruits began to appear one after another. These fruits were very inconspicuous at first, but soon, these fruits swelled up like balloons, like bunches of grapes, and many fruits crowded together , one bunch after another, the diameter of each fruit is frighteningly large, more than ten meters in diameter.

After growing to more than ten meters, these fruits stopped growing, and there seemed to be a constant accumulation of power inside, and the shiny metallic surface seemed to be continuously stretched by something, and it seemed to be about to explode.

"boom!"

After more than an hour, a loud noise overwhelmed the thunder in the sky, and the huge fruits began to explode continuously, and the seeds were continuously shot out in all directions in the air like cannonballs , The speed is so fast, at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, when it falls to the ground, it is already hundreds of kilometers away from the giant tree.

Soon, in the red world, a little bit of green continued to emerge, and a new round of crazy growth began. Towering giant trees rose from the ground one by one, forming an incomparably huge forest.

The dense atmosphere on the planet began to become thinner, and the red land turned into a world covered in green, and the torrential rain continued to fall into this forest.

Rivers began to appear on the planet, small streams converged into rivers, rivers converged into big rivers, rivers converged into lakes and oceans, the temperature of the planet dropped, the water vapor in the sky began to become scarce, the atmosphere became thinner, and the light from the stars Finally, it once again irradiated the earth of the planet.

Everything that happened on planet YX003 was watched by Li Shukuang and others in space. Looking at the brand new planet in front of them, everyone had a proud look on their faces.

"Haha, we have perfectly integrated the genes of the towering tree, the gene of the primitive algae, and the genes of the explosive fruit and other plants, and the super towering giant tree we created is really powerful, and it can grow in such a harsh environment. Changed the environment of this planet in a very short period of time."

Li Shukuang looked at the blue planet outside and laughed happily. With the development of biotechnology, genetic recombination technology is the fastest growing field. Various plants and animals produced by genetic recombination began shine.

"Unfortunately, if we can obtain the genes of silicon-based life, if we can integrate silicon-based genes into it, we can completely create animals and plants that grow in space. At that time, even a planet without any air or water, we It can also create an oasis.”

Yan Jia, who was on the side, said with a little regret that the empire has developed to the present, and there are citizens of the empire in the entire galaxy. Naturally, these people will help collect various information and materials, etc., and it is also indispensable to collect various gene.

However, until now, the empire has not discovered any organisms containing silicon-based genes, and almost all organisms in the entire galaxy are carbon-based life forms.

Through the heart of life, the scientists of the empire are very clear that silicon-based genes are much stronger in adapting to the environment than carbon-based genes, and silicon-based life can better adapt to the environment of the void of the interstellar universe.

"We haven't discovered the silicon-based gene so far, otherwise, we can develop a variety of silicon-based genes by cultivating the mother gene. At that time, we can try to combine carbon-based genes, silicon-based genes, or Try doing triple-helix gene research."

Speaking of silicon-based genes, Li Shukang also seemed a little excited. He had too many experimental ideas and research directions in his mind. Get rid of the confusion in your mind.

"Let's not talk about this, I think it's almost time for the second step of transformation."

Yan Jia shook her head, looked up at the planet, the world completely composed of towering giant trees began to collapse.

On the planet, the first towering giant tree dropped from space, its roots seemed to have stopped growing, and began to carbonize and harden. On the huge tree crown, huge leaves began to detach one by one and fell to the ground. Soon, the originally dense canopy became a bare one.

A gust of wind blew by, and the big tree that was originally as strong as a pillar supporting the sky began to shake, and then soon began to tilt and collapsed. The ground continued to vibrate, like a comet hitting, and a huge earthquake occurred.

Everything about these super towering trees has been carefully planned. The genes that determine growth and lifespan in its genes are restricted, and they can only split a certain number of times. Once the number of times is reached, it will begin to decay and die rapidly.

Tree trunks with a diameter of several hundred meters stretch across the ground, looking like an extremely tall city wall. These trunks contain huge energy, just like coal and oil. They absorb a huge amount of energy and accumulate it. It forms something similar to coal and oil, which can be directly utilized.

The formation of coal and petroleum requires a long period of precipitation, but now, under the powerful biotechnology, everything is completed in a short period of time, and the trunk of a collapsed giant tree can be used as coal and petroleum. , but with the current technology of the empire, there is no need for such low-level energy.

"boom!"

The big trees began to fall one after another, and the ground kept trembling. In the end, only the latest generation of big trees were still growing, but these big trees did not have the function of reproducing the next generation, and the genes for reproduction were also enhanced. Lock, after several generations of reproduction, it completely loses the function of reproduction.

Spaceships descended from the sky. These spaceships were constantly flying on the planet. At the same time, at the tail of the spaceship, countless seeds began to be continuously sown. This time, the seeds sown were no longer the seeds of towering trees, but are various plant seeds.

A few hours later, all the towering trees had fallen, but the land did not become barren, but became more vibrant, and various plants began to appear on the land.

The original black land was covered by green grassland, and various flowers began to bloom, and trees continued to grow in it. Grassland, shrubs, forests...even in the newly formed ocean, there are all kinds of flowers. All kinds of marine plants also began to flourish.

All kinds of vines climb on the trunk of the super towering tree, and the trunk with metallic luster is slowly covered by the green world. Perhaps hundreds of millions of years later, these trunks will be buried deep in the soil. One day, it will be excavated again as an energy source.

A planet that was like a doomsday a few days ago has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few days. It has become a world full of greenery, birds and flowers, and a living planet suitable for life.

For such a huge change, if it is only transformed by conventional means, the first thing is to build a space solar emission mirror in space, and send the light from the stars to the emission point, so that the temperature on the planet will be lowered first.

Then use chemical or physical means to reduce the density of the atmosphere, reduce the water vapor in the atmosphere, fall to the ground, form lakes and oceans, and finally find a way to reduce the toxic gas components in the atmosphere to It will take at least a few decades to lower it down, put some primitive life seeds down, and slowly transform it back and forth.

But now, using the powerful biotechnology and the powerful power of life, it only needs to put the powerful plants recombined on the planet, and the planet's transformation speed has been accelerated by hundreds of millions of times.

The super towering tree has withstood the harshest environment at the beginning. The powerful roots and dense leaves continuously absorb the heat in the earth and the air, and store the heat to form things similar to coal and oil. It can be directly used, and it can lower the temperature of the planet, thus forming a cooling effect.

The temperature on the surface of the planet dropped significantly, and the water vapor in the air naturally turned into water and fell to the ground, which provided water resources for the growth of plants and other things behind, and at the same time formed rivers, lakes, and oceans on the planet. Wait, with these, the planet has its own ability to adjust temperature.

Finally, a variety of genetically recombined plants are put on the planet. The growth genes and reproductive genes of these plants have been strengthened, and they can grow as fast as towering trees in a short period of time, so that the plants can cover the planet. the whole planet.

The entire transformation process only takes a few days, and a brand new planet of life appears in everyone's field of vision. Looking from space, there are still some areas with dense clouds on this planet that was originally covered with dark clouds. , but most places have become very clear, you can see the huge ocean, and the vast and boundless green world on land.

"Life is the greatest force in the universe. A world without life is meaningless."

From the beginning to the end, Li Shukuang witnessed and single-handedly promoted the earth-shaking changes of this planet. Looking at the blue planet in front of him, which began to exude the halo of life, Li Shukuang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
