Chapter 363: Piorio's Record
The record officer of Martian civilization, Piolio, is here to ask for forgiveness from the ancient ancestors.
Forgive me for violating my duty as a civilization recorder and not engraving the history of the last hundred years of Martian civilization in the official history text, because I want to leave the last trace of dignity for the Martian civilization that is about to become extinct.
A survey of the last hundred years of Martian civilization fully verifies a famous saying once said by the great poet Plaudova: "All tragedies originate from greed."
2000 years ago, Alexander Dodd, the founder of modern science, discovered electromagnetic induction, which laid the experimental foundation for the mutual conversion between electricity and magnetism, marking the arrival of a major industrial and technological revolution.
Electric energy, this easy-to-use and powerful energy source, has attracted the attention of scientists.
In the following period, they used various technologies to collect electrical energy to replace the chemical energy after burning plants.
Among these technologies, harvesting solar energy has become recognized as the most feasible way, because our star, the sun, is "wasting" unimaginable energy all the time.
500 years ago, scientists at the Euler Dove Research Center accidentally discovered electrical energy from the leaves of the electric tree. These broad-leaf plants can directly convert the absorbed solar energy into electrical energy.
Since then, electric energy has officially entered the stage of Mars energy.
Various machines that use electric energy came into being, which greatly promoted the development of civilization and also made the Martian civilization heavily dependent on electric energy.
Just when all Martians thought that a new era was about to be born.
A serious problem has arisen. Electric trees, which have a growth cycle of up to 600 years and require harsh growth conditions, are completely unable to meet Mars's demand for electrical energy.
With the development of civilization, the energy gap is getting bigger and bigger.
Under this circumstance, searching for a plant that can produce electrical energy has become the top priority of major scientific research centers. They have used all traditional methods such as genetic modification, optimization, gene editing, cell transplantation, etc., but have achieved nothing.
The search has come to a standstill, and at the same time, the shortage of electrical energy has seriously restricted the development of Martian civilization.
At this time, an intern at the Parame Scientific Research Center proposed an astonishing theory of biological growth: "There is a valve in the body of all living things, and this valve controls the size of the living thing."
This is a utopian theory without any basis in scientific logic.
In normal times, this kind of utopian theory can only be used as a talking point for scientists before and after meals, but at this time on Mars, the desire for electrical energy has surpassed everything else, and any absurd theory is worth trying.
After tens of thousands of experiments, the chief scientist of the Parame Research Center finally discovered the existence of this kind of valve in the core cell of an electric tree, and the function of the valve is completely consistent with the biological growth theory.
Thus, the super electric tree was born. At first, cautious scientists only "enlarged" the electric tree ten times. The emergence of the upgraded electric tree greatly eased the demand for electrical energy.
However, the demand for energy is growing exponentially, and the size of the electric tree is also getting larger... twenty times... thirty times... forty times...
The surface of Mars is covered with towering trees that reach deep into the sky.
Even so, it cannot meet energy needs.
Finally, an ultimate electric tree was born. It has more than 5,000 trunks, a root system that goes 10,000 kilometers underground, and its lush branches and leaves completely cover the entire Mars.
Relying on the electric energy generated by the powerful photosynthesis of the Ultimate Electric Tree, Mars industrial technology develops rapidly.
The successful launch of the space probe marked the entry of Martian civilization into the space age.
The first exploration spacecraft sent back a panoramic photo of the solar system from space. In the photo, Mars is just a small dark green dot, which made Martians marvel at the vastness of the universe and realize the insignificance of Mars.
Finding the next Mars has become the primary goal of scientists.
At this time, the third planet in the solar system, 55 million kilometers away from Mars, attracted their attention. The surface of this planet was blue and its volume was 7 times that of Mars. Scientists can determine through space observation equipment that there are deposits on the surface of this planet.
A vast ocean!
The importance of the ocean to carbon-based organisms is self-evident.
Perhaps, this blue planet can become the second Mars.
Under this goal, the Martians successively launched 26 detection spacecraft to the Blue Planet. Although the previous 25th spacecraft was damaged in the universe due to various reasons, the 26th spacecraft successfully landed on the surface of the Blue Planet and transmitted the message
The detection data was returned. The atmosphere of the Blue Star is mainly composed of water vapor, hydrogen, ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, etc. In the sky, there is a scorching red sun, lightning and thunder, volcanoes erupting on the ground, and lava flowing across the ground. It is completely
A scene of early primitive Mars.
Mars scientists are not frustrated by the harsh environment of the Blue Star. On the contrary, in their eyes, the Blue Star has the potential to be suitable for the existence of life, because it contains water and various chemical substances that are essential for life.
Even the 51st Azure Star exploration spacecraft accidentally discovered a primitive life macromolecule group at the bottom of the primitive ocean. Perhaps native life will appear on this planet soon.
Various discoveries on the Azure Star shocked the entire Mars. If the instinct of life is survival and reproduction, then the instinct of civilization is development and expansion.
Transforming the Blue Star into a colonial star suitable for Martians to survive has become the most important thing for the entire Martian civilization.
Under this goal, various resources are tilted towards detecting and transforming the Blue Star. It can be said that Martians have a hundred years to prepare for immigrating to the Blue Star.
The oxygen tree seeds used to transform the atmosphere of the blue star were scattered all over the blue star by the detection spacecraft. They will take root and sprout on the surface of the blue star, and then absorb the carbon dioxide in the air to produce oxygen suitable for carbon-based organisms to breathe.
In the primitive ocean of the Azure Star, a kind of blue algae is injected. This kind of algae can multiply rapidly in the primitive ocean. As long as there is water and sunshine, the sea area is basically its range of activities. They will use
Photosynthesis produces oxygen.
Of course, the transformation of Azure Star cannot be completed overnight, it will definitely be a long process.
The fanatical Martians could no longer wait. They began to try to build a manned spacecraft and use Martian technology to establish a small ecosystem on the blue star.
Unfortunately, the space technology of the Martians was not enough to support this dream. The Pioneer manned spacecraft, which was built with the resources of the entire planet, was struck by lightning when it entered the atmosphere of the blue star and turned into ashes. When this bad news came back,
