Forest Ranger, inside the Captain's Lounge.

Nie Yun was wearing a white lab coat and shaking a glass test tube to take a closer look, and there was some emerald green liquid in the test tube, which was a dilution of the water of life.

Behind Nie Yun, the little octopus was creeping over secretly, his eyes staring at the test tube in Nie Yun's hand.

"Step!" It stepped hard, and its body jumped up like a black shadow!

However, the next moment, Nie Yun's orchid finger appeared in front of the little octopus hanging in the air.

"Boom!" With a flick of his fingers, the stunned little octopus bounced directly away, and accurately crashed into the visor of the Silver Wing guard on the side!

The "click" mask was closed, and there was an unwilling "poof" sound from the little octopus inside......

Nie Yun rolled his eyes helplessly, and was about to continue his research when the projection of the code name slowly appeared in front of Nie Yun.

"Your Excellency, the 'Prometheus' project has successfully conducted its first attempts!"

Nie Yun nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. "Hmmm! The project continues to be carried out, and the next step is to expand the scale of the Mercury base, and we must cover this energy network to the entire solar system as soon as possible, and give priority to laying energy lines from the sun directly to the wormhole.

In addition, the 'Mirror of Archimedes', a subsystem of the 'Prometheus' system, can be designed and planned, allowing limited participation of the Earth Defense Force! ”

"Yes!"

……

The "Prometheus" project is of great significance to Nie Yun, and it can completely change Nie Yun's energy distribution in the solar system.

At present, Nie Yun uses thermonuclear fusion reaction technology, and the nuclear fuel is deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen.

These two isotopes are abundant in the solar system, but they are not evenly distributed, for example, the moon has huge reserves, and it is easy to mine and the cost is very low, but in many small celestial bodies, the reserves of nuclear fuel are small and it is extremely difficult to mine, such as Ganymede.

In this case, simply increasing energy extraction efforts cannot completely solve the energy problem of a certain region, and ultimately has to return to the complementarity and transportation of resources.

However...... At this time, the disadvantages of Nie Yun's frog leapfrog development became apparent.

His colonization and expansion method with mechanical insects as the core is jumping, and he only needs to launch the mechanical insect to the destination, and it can be like a base car, and it will become a country with one worm!

Between each base, remote communication and virtual technology are used to connect in series to achieve the purpose of remote control.

In this way, Nie Yun completely put aside the logistical needs and achieved the amazing achievement of doubling the colony in a short period of time.

However, the exchange of materials between the various colonial bases has been basically zero so far, and resource complementarity has not been realized so far.

Various construction materials can find alternatives, but energy and fuel can't, and the further it develops, the more prominent this problem will become, unless Nie Yun slows down the expansion rate and increases investment in the construction of transport ships, this situation will be alleviated.

But if you can put a lampshade on the sun, turn it into a big light bulb, plunder the energy radiated by the sun, and then supply energy to the major bases of the solar system through the light-speed energy supply network, then most of the energy transportation problem will be solved.

In addition, in addition to being used for construction and reducing the demand for energy extraction, the massive amount of energy can also be used for military purposes.

The "Mirror of Archimedes", which is still in the design stage, is the militarized application of the "Prometheus System......

……

After giving the code name a little explanation of the follow-up work, Nie Yun turned his gaze back to the test tube in his hand.

After this period of research, Nie Yun has basically determined that the core ingredient of the so-called water of life should be a magical plant enzyme!

Once this enzyme enters the biological cell, it can be quickly decomposed and escape a strange radiation energy, which can be quickly absorbed by the living organism, which is the "life energy" that Nie Yun previously thought!

We know that nuclear radiation can cause mutations in living things, which are essentially changes in the DNA of living things.

The reason is that there are a large number of high-energy subatomic particles in nuclear radiation, which can enter the cell and act on the biological DNA molecule, causing the biological DNA to open the double strand, and the DNA molecule to change the addition, deletion or partial reverse order of base pairs, thus causing genetic mutations.

Genetic mutations alter the genetic traits of organisms, and changes in genetic traits are mostly lethal, but some are heritable.

And this kind of radiation energy caused only benign genetic mutations, which made Nie Yun exclaim.

However, it is one thing to know the general principle, as for the mass production of the water of life, Nie Yun still has no clue.

As for why Nie Yun knew that this enzyme was a plant enzyme, it was necessary to mention the "biosynthesis technology" that Queen Rose sold because of poverty before.

In this technology, Nie Yun obtained the biological map of some animals and plants in Karaxing, and the structure of this enzyme is more than 70% similar to that in one of the plants!

And this plant is ...... Caralo!

"Interestingly, according to Rose, this water of life is supposed to have appeared in the crater formed after the meteorite fell, but now this enzyme is actually related to Cararot......

Cararot...... Kara Civilization ...... Kara Star ......

Hehe! It seems that our Majesty the Queen is hiding something from me......" Nie Yun touched his chin and smiled.

I'm afraid Rose never dreamed that Nie Yun would actually crack the mystery of the eaux-de-vie in such a short period of time, and also find out the connection between it and Caralo.

It can only be said that she underestimated the microscopic analysis ability of mechanical insects on things, and also underestimated the horror of Nie Yun, who combines science and technology.

But in any case, if you are dishonest, even if you are a minor, you must pay a credit tax......

"Hey, hey, hey......" The evil laughter of a certain captain made the little octopus who was still protesting "poof" shiver, and suddenly fell silent......

……

The solar system, the Earth.

"Hello travelers, and welcome to the Island of Miracles...... Atlantis!

We will be docking at Port 3 of the 5th Ring Road, so please pack your belongings, bring your children, and collect your temporary identity terminal when you pass through the security lane......"

In the outer harbor of Atlantis, a cruise ship stirs white waves and slowly docks on the pier.

With the sweet female voice in the PA equipment, hundreds of passengers on the cruise ship disembarked one after another, saluting with large bags and small bags, and followed the instructions to a spacious security hall to wait in line.

In the crowd, there was an Asian man with strong presence, he had black hair, carried a half-height hiking bag, 180 was very well-proportioned, and his handsome face made some of the women around him pay attention frequently.

However, he did not see the eyes around him, and looked at his surroundings curiously.

The buildings here are made of a lot of metal and mirror materials, which are very clean and tidy, and a large number of virtual display panels are providing advice and guidance to everyone, and the sense of technology immediately rushes to the face, making people feel that they have entered the future world at once.

Unmanned management has been realized here, and only occasionally a round cleaning robot rolls in front of everyone, causing everyone to exclaim and admire.

The man followed the flow of people and was guided all the way into the security passage, on either side of the passage stood motionless two guards, their appearance and dress like ordinary police officers, and the words "Police/Police" were written on their chests, but the cold steel faces and bodies undoubtedly indicated that they were two robots.

"Wow! This is the military's latest Robocop I, and I was pleasantly surprised when I first arrived at Atlantis, and I was so lucky! A fat Asian man behind the man suddenly stared at the mechanical guard, exclaimed in a thick Cantonese accent, and picked up the SLR camera in his hand to "click" and shoot non-stop.

There was also a thin man next to him, who seemed to be his companion, who was covering his face helplessly and lamenting at the moment. Then the thin man noticed that the handsome man in front of the line was turning his head to look at them.

There were people of all colors on the ship, and perhaps the sight of Asian faces made the thin man feel very kind, and he smiled a little embarrassed at the handsome man.

"Ahaha, my companion is a military fan, and he gets carried away when he sees good things, I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed, ah...... By the way, I forgot to ask if you are Chinese, do you use Cainishi? Because of Golis? The thin man said incoherently in a crappy eagle.

"I'm Chinese-American, I can understand Chinese, but your words are a little difficult to understand, hehe!" The man smiled and nodded.

Hearing that the other party was actually Chinese, the fat man who was finally addicted to filming also happily came over. "Hello, hello, I know you in a foreign country, I heard that your accent is a little Beijing, you are from Beijing, are you also here to travel?

Let me tell you, in addition to the infrastructure, the island of Atlantis is all about the most advanced high-tech items purchased from various countries, so it can be said that the whole island is a gathering and exhibition place for high-tech items.

For example, a robot policeman, is the latest security robot developed in our country, and it is not seen on the market, and it is absolutely beautiful to travel here, and the beauty is very ......" The fat man pulled the man and talked excitedly.

Seeing that the handsome man seemed to have a big head when he heard this, the thin man hurriedly came out and interrupted the fat man's words. "Friend, I haven't introduced myself yet, my surname is Xun, and I'm from Guangdong Province."

"Kaoru? Is it lavender's lavender? ”

"No, it's smoked Wukong."

Man: "......"

"My surname is Shrimp, and I am a close friend with him." The fat man patted his chest and said, and suddenly his fat trembled.

"Shrimp? This surname...... It seems to be rare, huh? ”

"It's very common, shrimp Wujing's shrimp."

Man: "......" (-_-#)

Damn, it's so difficult to disguise the identity I chose, even if I am proficient in Chinese, but you speak Mandarin with me!

Sure enough, he should have been a black man at that time, right?

"Ahem! My surname is Zhu, Zhu Yuanzhang's Zhu! The man forcibly jumped and said, "But I'm used to being called by my Eagle name—Chris!" ”
