Chapter 359: Ice Age
After the meeting with the deans of the research institutes of each discipline, although there was no substantive conclusion, Du Qiu also assigned the relevant topics to each research institute.
Each research institute was asked to explore the feasibility of how to realize the current state of the Fleet of Tours from its own field of study.
All kinds of wild ideas can be explored and studied, and even the AI Nebula can be asked to help with various simulations.
In short, it is necessary to find out why the fleet of Tours has become the way it is.
In addition to this research question, various research institutes are also accelerating their scientific and technological research projects, and the speed of their results is also accelerating.
Magical technology has entered a stage of a kind of technological explosion.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past ten years, Blue Star has completely entered the Great Ice Age, and has completely become an ice-sealed planet, the entire planet is covered by thick snow and ice, and everything is silent and lifeless.
Ice has completely covered nearly half of the land area of Blue Star, surpassing the most recent ice age in history.
At the same time, the thickness of the ice has reached more than 200 meters, and this thickness is still increasing.
Even if the miraculous technology had already cleaned the atmosphere of the volcanic ash, the sky would have turned blue and the sun's rays could fall unobstructed.
However, it still can't stop the temperature from dropping.
Because the sunlight at this time has long since lost its previous temperature, the nuclear fusion activity of the entire sun has somehow dropped to a minimum.
Sunspots, which used to be active on the surface of the sun, are also much quieter.
The entire solar system seems to have been paused by an invisible hand, and all natural activities have been reduced in frequency.
Of course, there are exceptions, and at this moment, the void inside and outside the solar system is getting busier and busier, with countless space warships, transport ships, and planetary buses shuttling back and forth.
If it weren't for all this activity, this galaxy would definitely be considered lifeless.
After the Blue Star was frozen, the countries were basically hidden underground, and later, with the magical technology in the warship production capacity reached a certain level, the construction of Mars City was restarted and completed.
Miracle Technology has made large-scale deliveries to countries, organizations, and individuals who have purchased Martian real estate, and has provided a large number of planetary buses to form a fixed flight between Blue Star and Mars.
This made the entire frozen blue star lively again.
Human civilization has begun a new era of development, for which mankind has designated 2023 as the first year of the Ice Age.
In the past decade, Miraculous Technology has finally succeeded in breaking through the theory of unification, all thanks to the Circumsolar Particle Collider, which was completed eight years ago.
When this huge project was completed, the verification of many material particles was completed in just the first month of testing.
When the essence of the fourth-level civilization was finally fully mastered by Du Qiu's magical technology, the third-generation warship came into being.
At this moment, the warship production capacity of Magical Technology has been expanded by a hundredfold, and 1,000 capital ships can be built every month.
Under the continuous improvement of the second-generation warships in the past eight years, they have reached the second-generation and a half-generation, or these warships are already real third-level civilized warships.
The entire fleet of Wonder Tech already has a full 50,000 capital ships and 50,000 cruisers, as well as 100,000 transport ships, 10,000 battleship factory ships, and 1,000 celestial ships.
All warships and ships have powerful electromagnetic shields and light shields for Level 3 civilizations, which can protect against both electromagnetic kinetic weapons and high-power laser weapons.
For example, the particle main gun of the capital ship generally has a range of 30 million kilometers and a maximum speed of 20,000 kilometers per second.
Because Du Qiu previously led the Energy Research Institute to successfully imitate the polymeric nuclear fusion reactor, it has actually reached the scientific and technological level of the third-level peak civilization.
So the only thing that has not fundamentally changed for eight years is the speed of the battleship.
But this time, when the theory of great unification was confirmed to be a breakthrough, it was as if the bottleneck of the entire scientific and technological development had suddenly been opened.
Several research groups studying superluminal flight have all made substantial progress, and the test ship that has reached the primary superluminal level has quickly completed superluminal flight.
When another half a year later, when faster-than-light flight had been able to stabilize at 40 times the speed of light, Du Qiu began to fully start building third-generation warships.
The original second-generation half-generation battleship has been overhauled, with warp engines and warp rings added.
The reason for the faster-than-light transformation of the second-generation and a half-generation warships is to ensure that the number of fleets will not be lost too much at once.
After all, the construction of third-generation warships has only begun for more than a year, and 20,000 capital ships have been completed.
The third-generation warships have new changes in the hull materials, and the material technology of the fourth-level civilization has allowed Du Qiu to carry out specific polymerization and strengthening of ternary alloy materials.
The strengthened alloy is a high-force material with a smooth and seamless surface that can be directly reflected by the laser.
As a result, third-generation warships no longer need to have separate light shields to defend against laser attacks.
In fact, the third-generation warships already have force field shield technology, and have initially realized the dual shield technology of electromagnetic protection and force field protection.
Such a powerful fleet, thanks to the 1,000 Celestial-class spaceships, can already ensure that all the humans on the entire Blue Star will be taken away.
In fact, the first batch of 50 Celestial Ships has been sold to the countries of the Blue Star, and thus the magical technology has been exchanged for more natural populations.
In the 12th year of the Ice Age, Amazing Technology already had a population of 2 billion, but these people were not only exchanged, but at least more than half of the population belonged to new humans.
In this decade, the biggest progress in Amazing Technology has been the advancement of biotechnology.
The massive farms built in space by magical technology produce all kinds of agricultural products and meat, which have become the main source of food for the countries of Blue Star.
In such commercial exchanges, countries have to provide large quantities of genes in exchange for gene coins to buy food.
As a result, the gene coin has become the only hard currency for all mankind, and the genes of all people on the blue star have finally been mastered by magical technology.
On this basis, the relevant research groups of the Institute of Biology have finally achieved breakthroughs one after another, and some modulation can be carried out on human genes, so that the life limit of human beings can be increased to 300 years.
After genetic modulation, human beings have not only increased their lifespan, but also become smarter.
In particular, the intensity of consciousness has been greatly enhanced, and it is basically about to reach the strength when Du Qiu first connected to the crystal pillow.
This characteristic also led Du Qiu to vigorously promote genetic modulation among the population under the jurisdiction of Magical Technology, and he firmly believed that the consciousness of human descendants after genetic modulation would be further enhanced.
When he has a group of people whose consciousness strength meets the standard, Du Qiu can fully experiment with the consciousness upload technology related to the crystal pillow.
Hatsuhei Kono's experiments in this area have been carried out more frequently, and he believes that the light of success has already appeared.
The new humans not only have genetically modulated humans, but also a group of clones.
Given the massive expansion of the space fleet, a large number of human crews are needed in the warship.
Taking a capital ship as an example, a capital ship needs about 8,000 people, and 50,000 capital ships need 400 million people.
Originally, space battleships have intelligent brains, and intelligent brains have also reached the level of strong artificial intelligence, and there are many supporting intelligent robots that can be applied, but in fact, there is no need for so many human crews.
However, due to the fact that more and more people within Magic Technology want to limit the application of intelligent robots and intelligent brains, the human crew has reached this number.
This is because the news that the Pleiades were betrayed and destroyed by artificial intelligence finally spread, which caused panic among many people.
Although Du Qiu continued to reassure and explain, this fear could not be removed from the bottom of people's hearts.
In order to solve the large number of soldiers needed for the warship, and because of the improvement of genetic technology, Du Qiu accelerated the process of cloning.
In the 9th year of the Ice Age, clones that can customize crew templates were successfully developed and mass-produced, and new humans were mass-expanded.
