Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 607 One Hundred Years of Solitude ([-])

Galactic year 30.

It has been 15 years since the Foundation Establishment Project.

Huang Haojie and the Alliance Council once again adjusted the Foundation Establishment Plan and increased their investment in basic science.

The total population of the alliance also successfully exceeded 674 billion this year.

The control range of Orion's cantilever area has reached a radius of 1800 light years, with 167 administrative star systems and 5763 natural star systems.

Possess affiliated civilizations: Blue Star Original Civilization (first class), Soss Civilization (first class), Haiyin Civilization (second class), Shura Civilization (second class), Triangle Civilization (third class), Anluo Civilization (third class) , Iceman civilization (third class).

The Anluo civilization is the Anluo star people who wandered in the cantilever of the Andromeda constellation. They were discovered by the alliance in the 22nd year of the Milky Way, and then accepted as an affiliated civilization.

The Iceman civilization is the only living planet that has entered the second-level civilization among the 14 living planets discovered in the cantilever area of ​​Orion. It joined the alliance in the 24th year of the Milky Way.

The life form of the Icemen is very strange. They are silicon-based variants, and their entire bodies seem to be crystals. They are the first non-humanoid intelligent creatures accepted by the alliance.

Of course, there is actually a civilization that is not in this list-silicon civilization.

It is the ancient silicon planet where Zhong lives, but it has not yet been recognized by the alliance, because Zhong has not bred a second intelligent life (silicon man), so if there is only Zhong, it cannot be called civilization.

Because civilization needs to be inherited, and if there is only a single mutant creature, if there is no way to complete the reproduction, in this universe that cannot live forever, the result will be the complete extinction of this race.

Therefore, a civilized race must be a plural breedable type, and a singular non-reproductive type obviously cannot be called a civilization.

Ancient silicon star.

Zhong's main body, a silicon-based life form transformed from a stand-in robot, has four or five points similar to Huang Haojie in appearance.

He has always regarded Huang Haojie as his father, so in terms of appearance, after confirming his identity, he will permanently fix it as it is now.

Silicon star's synchronous orbit above.

That Shadow Leopard-class space cruiser was transformed into a research institute and residence by Zhong.

"Um?"

The quantum teleporter of the battleship actually sent a teleportation request, and Zhong flipped through the teleportation request.

"It's from Yongyexing? Strange, didn't the supplies just be delivered a few days ago?" Zhong Bai was puzzled.

Yongye star is the alliance stronghold near the ancient silicon star, and there is a quantum teleportation station on it.

Zhong turned on the quantum communication system and searched the alliance's internal network. After a while, he finally knew the cause and effect.

It turned out that the master transferred a group of icemen from the Iceman Civilization to be his assistants.

In fact, silicon-based organisms only account for about 16% of the galaxy's biological species, while carbon-based organisms account for about 57%, sulfur-based organisms account for about 12%, germanium-based organisms account for about 5%, and the rest The next 10% are combined basic life and heavy element life.

Among these organisms, carbon-based is the easiest to give birth to intelligent life, and silicon-based is second only to carbon-based. The three overlords in the core area of ​​the Milky Way and human civilization are all typical carbon-based organisms.

For example, the Shura people where Poros is located, they are lead-based life forms among heavy element life forms.

The Shura's home planet is a planet rich in uranium and lead and full of ionizing radiation. There is a life form that lives at the end of the periodic table of elements (for comparison, the carbon-based organisms on the blue star live at the front of the periodic table ).

The main component of their bodies is metallic lead. It is precisely because of the excellent radiation protection properties of lead that the environment in their bodies can be free from the interference of the ionizing radiation environment outside the body.

Due to the presence of a large amount of uranium and its decay products in the planet, the atmosphere contains a large amount of radon gas.

And the nuclear energy contained in these radon gases is the source of energy for lead-based organisms.The Shura people breathe radon gas, just like the carbon-based organisms on the blue star breathe oxygen.

They can convert the radiation emitted by radon-222 into the energy needed for physical activity.

Radon-222 decays into various radon daughters in their bodies: radioactive isotopes of polonium, bismuth and lead for use by their bodies, and finally decays into stable lead-206 and becomes the basic substance of their bodies. Lead-based organisms be able to grow.

And this type of planet is quite common in the inner layer of the core region of the Milky Way, and only when it exists widely can life be born.

Otherwise, the environment of a planet is very unique, unique in the entire universe, and the possibility of life appearing on this planet will be greatly reduced.

Zhong was thinking, and the ten icemen had already arrived on the Loyalty through the quantum teleporter.

[Hello, Mr. Zhong!I'm Bai Guangming, a researcher at the Iceman Academy of Biological Sciences, this is Bai...] An electromagnetic wave was sent to Zhong Zhong.

[Hello!Welcome to Ancient Silicon Planet. ] Zhong knew that these icemen could not speak, they communicated directly through electromagnetic waves.

After some exchanges, Zhong placed these Iceman Research Institutes on the Loyalty, where there are 11 other silicon-based intelligent creature races (former members of the Pirates from the Shura civilization).

Although silicon-based organisms have obvious advantages, that is, they can quickly enter the era of industrialization and electrification, but their disadvantages are also very obvious, and their ability to reproduce is very weak.

Take the Iceman civilization as an example, it has developed for 3.4 blue star years, but the population still has not exceeded 1000 million.

If it is a Blue Star, with sufficient resources, the population can be rolled over hundreds of thousands of times, or even millions of times, in 3.4 years.

Zhong is very distressed now. No matter what he does, he will not be able to give birth to a second silicon man. If he cannot reproduce, the silicon man cannot be called civilization at all.

Even if he copies the energy core and soul core, what he creates can only be regarded as his clone, or a remote-controlled robot that cannot think independently at all, and a robot that cannot think independently will always be a robot, not a life .

He helplessly flipped through some papers on silicon-based organisms.

However, although he said that they are silicon-based organisms, there are actually many types of silicon-based organisms. Just like silicon-based organisms, there are many small types under the large category.

According to the classification of silicon-based organisms, they belong to silicon-based organisms—intelligent class—dual-core family—silicon humans.

And the Iceman belongs to the silicon-based organisms-electric energy class-multi-core family-ice humans.

The most obvious difference between the two is that Zhong's two cores can be separated, while Iceman has only one re-core (the energy core and soul core are fused into one), and Iceman's re-core cannot be separated.

Tadashi also tried to fuse the two cores together, but after the fusion, they can still be separated at any time, not inseparable like Iceman at all.

As for the silicon-based organisms of the two Asura civilizations, they also belonged to the double-core family, so there is little reference value.

"How can reproduction be accomplished? Do we have to try our luck and wait for the birth of another silicon-based organism of the dual-core family?" Zhong thought hard.

In the Milky Way, among the silicon-based organisms that have been discovered so far, they are all of the double-core family, and Zhong is the only dual-core family.

This directly cut off the possibility that he wanted to find a female silicon-based creature, and then have a baby with sex, and asexual reproduction was not feasible, and there was no partner for bisexual reproduction.

I am too difficult!Zhong seems to feel that the FFF group is calling him, am I destined to be a single dog for thousands of years?
"Ah! (ó﹏ò) Why is this happening?"

The dozen or so silicon-based organisms working here as assistants suddenly tightened their asses, they knew that the boss had gone crazy again.
