Chapter 217 Technology Generation Difference
In a blink of an eye, it has been a year and a half since the Earth Age arrived in this planetary system.
Every day, there are a large amount of data and reports, summarizing them to the central control center. Whenever you see these data, Zhang Yuan always feels a strong sense of accomplishment.
The underground cities are getting bigger and bigger, the usable area has exceeded 5 million square meters, and various functional blocks have also been dug out. After a while, more people can be accommodated. Various ventilation systems and material circulation systems are being installed in an orderly manner.
Just a few days ago, the first batch of dairy goats hatched by artificial uterine technology were born in this world. This dairy goat can reach the lactation period within 7-9 months and produce a certain amount of goat milk.
Goat's milk can not only be used as a staple food for newly born babies, but also improve people's food quality.
Therefore, the first batch of about 100 artificially hatched babies was officially launched today. It is expected that these fertilized eggs will be hatched in 10 months and become real human babies.
More fertility-related equipment is still being produced during overtime...
Of course, this batch of babies has not yet been improved using genetic technology. They use sperm and eggs brought from distant earth, which will not challenge too much ethics.
The changes in thoughts are gradual. At present, it is already very good to allow people to accept the hatching of artificial uteruses, and they cannot change more for the time being. So far, there are still some conservatives who launch public opinion offensives on the Internet, but in the face of real facts, they can't make too big waves.
"A artificial uterus is really a good technology!" Zhang Yuan sighed excitedly, while thinking about how to better use this technology.
Not only cattle, sheep, and human babies, but also means that humans can hatch more and more species, improve the ecological environment of the living area, and improve the food...
"By the way, improving food can greatly improve public satisfaction, and the cost is not very high."
"Whether to raise pigs first, or to raise chickens and ducks first? In the current environment... it is best to lay eggs." Zhang Yuanzheng thought secretly.
The purest natural food at present is mealworms, which saves time and effort when raising them, and will not cause too much biological pollution. After frying, it tastes quite good like chicken! But the bugs can still not meet the needs of the people.
Just thinking about this, Zhang Yuan sent a feeding suggestion to the Ministry of Agriculture. Anyway, it was just a suggestion. Whether to adopt it is the matter of their Ministry of Agriculture.
Another next report, a research report on alien technology...
People currently have two technologies of "Gaia civilization" in their hands. The first is high-dimensional fragments, and the second is consciousness uploading instruments.
Research on these two things is very slow, because the gap between humans and Gaia civilization is really big.
For example, the instrument uploaded by consciousness has so far only known that it is likely to be a biological computer. Yes, a biological computer, but it does not know what its energy system is. Anyway, it is definitely not chemical energy or nuclear energy.
Its energy system is a round metal ball, but it will radiate heat stably, just like a perpetual motion machine. After so many years, there is no sign of weakness at all.
Some people guess it is vacuum zero point energy, and some people say it is energy substances in high-dimensional space... It is simply all kinds of messy ideas.
Because it is of great importance, scientists dare not dismantle this machine randomly, so they can only slowly crack and study.
As for high-dimensional fragments, there is no clue. People only know how it is activated and can be opened temporarily, but they don’t know how it was formed.
Anyway, the whole society is full of waste and all scientists are very busy. Many people can't remember this at all when they are busy all day long. Only a few experts are still trying to research. Anyway, as long as they don't mess around, they can go there...
Next report, about the satellite detection of Glitzer 581.
When Zhang Yuan saw this report, his brows frowned slightly.
Through the satellite's remote sensing system, people have discovered some very strange underground caves. It is possible that the caves caused by water erosion, or other reasons, such as glacier movements, typhoons, etc. A large number of organisms are active in underground caves, and more than a thousand different animal species have been discovered.
Of course, satellites are just satellites, and no matter how awesome they are, they cannot penetrate the thick rock and soil layer. They find out what is hidden below. There may be many underground caves of this type...
What worries Zhang Yuan was that the satellite seemed to have discovered some plausible traces of industrial mining!
This kind of trace is plausible. For example, some open-pit iron ore areas seem to have been mined, and a certain area is a bit like the foundation of a house, but it may be formed accidentally in a natural state.
After all, the wind is so strong in this place, it is not impossible to blow the stones away...
Biologist and bionicist Ichiro Yamamoto wrote in the report: "Because the planet is often covered with typhoons and cloudy clouds, the effect of satellite detection is not very good."
"Comparing the creatures on Earth, we found that the biological volume of the planet is generally smaller, the longest animal, with a body length of no more than 1.5 meters and a mass of no more than 30 kilograms. It may be because of the low oxygen content and anaerobic respiration..."
"According to our existing theory, anaerobic respiration provides too little energy, and it is not even possible to support the survival of complex life. The mass of 30 kilograms is far beyond our expectations, and there must be more complex biological mechanisms... Understanding their biological mechanisms will supplement the missing part of the protein language."
When Zhang Yuan saw this series of information, he knew that Yamamoto wanted to go to another planet for on-site inspection.
But obviously, this is impossible.
First, humans cannot resist such typhoons every now and then; second, there is no need to waste people doing these things at present. The planet is here, and it is impossible to escape. It will be more appropriate to wait for ten or twenty years to develop more powerfully before conducting scientific research.
"Human civilization is very poor, really poor..."
Immediately, Zhang Yuan called and told Yamamoto not to always think about such unrealistic problems or to always bewitch young scholars. Although scientific studies are very important, they can't pay their own lives at the cost, right?
"Yes... I understand!"
Yamamoto's reply was simply scary. If it was a face-to-face conversation, he might nod and bow. Some cultures in the Earth era are still affecting his thoughts, but Zhang Yuan missed the young man who was worried about inspiration together in the Star Library...
At this moment, I suddenly received another emergency call and looked at it. Captain Zhao called it.
"Lao Zhang, where are you?" The voice was very serious, and there was a faint sense of urgency.
Zhang Yuan replied: "I'm in the office... I still have some problems to deal with."
Zhao Qingfeng said urgently: "Don't worry about it for now, come to the captain's office quickly!"
