After returning to his cozy little home, Qiao Lu opened his system again and began to think about what kind of science and technology should be added to the wandering earth.

Thanks to the participation of Dr. Grace's research group, The Wandering Earth has in fact mastered the spirit transfer technology applied by RDA in the Avatar Project.

This technology allows humans to temporarily transfer their spirits from one body to another, which is how Dr. Grace manipulates his avatar body.

It's basically like an advanced VR game, except that you're in control of a different body in reality.

However, unlike the more advanced soul transfer, the spirit transfer does not allow people to change their bodies.

While operating another body, the operator's original physical body will feel hunger and even pain, and once the body is threatened by life, the spiritual transfer will be forcibly ended, and there is no way to play the role of reincarnation.

It's a natural idea to use it for military purposes, such as finding a way to create an army of clones or robots using spirit transfer, to achieve a truly fearless army.

The problem is that clones or bot legions can be achieved even without the Mind Transfer technology. Clones themselves can have their own minds, while robots can be uniformly controlled by artificial intelligence.

Spiritual transfer technology overcomes only an ethical problem, not a real scientific and technical problem.

Needless to say, it greatly increases the cost, and if each clone or robot needs to be equipped with a cockpit and operator, the advantage of such a force being mass-produced is gone.

So what changes this technology can bring to the military is still up for debate.

Regarding the technical difficulties of creating an army of clones and robots, the Wandering Earth has not yet been broken through.

So putting aside this acquired technology, the rest is the technology that Qiao Lu needs to consider exchanging.

The first is the special research project of [Neural Interface] obtained from the Na'vi people, as the name suggests, how to connect human nerves to other objects.

Whether it is used to make a prosthetic limb or to enhance the operability of a powered exoskeleton, it is a very practical technology.

Coupled with the active cooperation of the Na'vi during the research process, the exchange of this technology originally cost 5,000 civilization points, but now it has been reduced to 3,000 civilization points.

With such a big discount, it is impossible for Qiao Lu not to choose to redeem it.

After Qiao Lu aimed at the special research project of [Neural Interface] and pressed the button of "Accelerate Research", 3000 civilization points disappeared from his balance like flowing water.

Although the earth does not seem to have changed until the 3000 civilization points are deducted, it seems that the system should trigger some special events to accelerate the research of this scientific research project from the last Chinese solar event.

Just lie down and wait for the news.

After exchanging the [Neural Interface], Qiao Lu's civilization points still have 7045 points left.

There is no need to think about the two big projects of [Awakening Earth] and [Soul Transfer], but there is indeed one last item that Qiao Lu can redeem.

That's the [Antimatter Power] research project obtained from the RDA's Startup Star space carrier.

Special Research Project: Antimatter Power

Project Brief Introduction:

From the wreckage of the Star's engine, our scientists have discovered a miraculous fragment of an antimatter annihilation chamber. According to the inference, this volume only accounts for 0.5% of the total system volume, but the annihilation chamber provides more than 95% of the interstellar navigation power of the Entrepreneurial Star, which can be said to be a very powerful driving method.

Our scientists have been able to create anti-hydrogen atoms, but how to use them for spacecraft power has always been an unsolvable problem.

This project may help us understand how to build an antimatter annihilation chamber so that the next time our Navigator space station takes off, it will not need to carry 300,000 tons of fuel, but just a few kilograms of antimatter.

R&D Needs: Startup Star wreckage, antimatter annihilation chamber fragments

Accelerated Research: Requires 7000 civilization points

Unlocked Items: Antimatter Production I., Antimatter Pulse Weapon

Note: This technology leads to the synthetic evolution route, which will increase the Wandering Earth's 7-point mechanical technology tendency, and have a chance to trigger the Antimatter Arms Race.

It seems that this project is just the lowest level of the huge antimatter technology tree, and after studying this [Antimatter Power], there will be [Antimatter Mass Production I.] and [Antimatter Pulse Weapon] in the future, and I don't know what will be researched if I go deeper.

It is also important to note that the precautions have a chance to trigger an antimatter arms race.

It may sound terrifying, but the last time mankind sparked an arms race based on nuclear energy was called the Cold War, and it really pushed the world to the brink of destruction.

And this time it's a more powerful antimatter, so it's no wonder that people don't feel nervous.

But Qiao Lu thought about it, there is only one coalition government left on the wandering earth at present, and even if it triggers an arms race, it will only be an internal competition between the army, and it will not involve the confrontation between the two great powers.

So what is there to be afraid of, how can the coalition government, a government that is sane enough to abandon itself at a critical moment to carry out the Tinder plan, let the Wandering Earth be destroyed by its own weapons?

Therefore, Qiao Lu did not hesitate to click the acceleration button of this project, so that 7000 civilization points were loaded into [antimatter power] technology on the wandering earth.

In this way, the 10,000 civilization points saved by Qiao Lu in the last world were only 45 points.

But there is nothing to regret, enhancing the strength of the Wandering Earth is also to increase the chips on hand, as a special dribbling through the big guy, the problems he has to face cannot be solved by personal strength.

The wandering earth is his most powerful weapon.

After clicking on these options, Qiao Lu returned to the main page of the system and found that there was a new column on the panel of the Wandering Earth.

【Technological tendencies】

Mechanical: 62 (50)

Variation: 10 (10)

Harmony: 6 (1)

(In parentheses are the basic values of the Wandering Earth)

The tendency of science and technology means that civilization is more keen to develop technology in that direction.

Machinery, as the name suggests, is the development of industry and machines.

Mutation is the development of itself by changing genes and evolution.

The most special thing is harmony, which neither develops itself through machinery nor by mutation, but seeks to absorb the forces of nature, including such things as True Qi Force psionic energy.

In addition to researching special projects, certain events can also change the technological tendencies of civilizations.

For example, China's solar project has added 5 points of harmony to the wandering earth, which Qiao Lu did not expect.

Each tendency reaches a certain level that will lead civilization to a path of racial sublimation, such as synthetic evolution, control of genes, and the unity of nature and man.

Of course, these three tendencies are not completely in conflict with each other, so it is not entirely impossible for me to have them all.

It all depends on how far Qiao Lu and the Wandering Earth can go.
