Chapter 92: Planetary Special Abilities
Entering hyperspace for the second time, people have become accustomed to the sights here.
Planetary engines, which inject massive energy for acceleration, once again replace the role of stars, maintain the temperature on the ground, and continuously give plants light for photosynthesis.
It's almost the same as in a star system, except that no other planets can be observed, and Earth has to keep moving at a high speed.
Qiao Lu finally received a hint that the task was completed, and he also got the last harvest of the previous world in his hands.
"Congratulations on completing the main plane quest of the Transformers world, gaining 8000 civilization points and +1 planetary special ability."
With the addition of these 8,000 civilization points, the civilization points held by Joe's law firm reached 18,045 points.
This means that you can choose one of the three special research items of [Soul Transfer], [Antimatter Mass Production I.], and [Antimatter Pulse Weapon] to redeem.
However, at present, Qiao Lu is still focusing on this "planetary special ability +1", which is different from the civilization points he has used many times, which is a new reward.
The planetary ability that comes with the Wandering Earth itself is the planetary engine, so does adding a new planetary special ability mean that a big project is about to be completed?
The reward for completing the main quest of the Avatar World Plane last time was one of the three racial traits [Space People], [Mastering Nature] and [Post-Apocalypse].
I don't know if this time, I also need Qiao Lu to choose.
As a result, as Qiao Lu expected, this time the system also gave him three options, allowing him to choose one of them as a new planetary special ability on the Wandering Earth.
[Internal Drive Assimilation] (Unlocked when Mechanic Technology Tendency reaches 75)
Our race will shed its weak flesh and skin and evolve into a higher form.
Effect: Spread the Tinder energy into the planet's atmosphere, and all organic life on the planet will gradually be assimilated into cyborg life.
【Hidden Sky Screen】
The universe is a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun. So if you don't want to be wiped out, the best thing to do is not to be discovered.
Effect: A shielding field that interferes with observation will be deployed on the planet's surface, making our planet undetectable by the enemy. When starting, the planetary engine needs to go into a stalled state.
【Ideal City Project】
We will merge the world into one city and build a city for the world.
Effect: Transforms the planet into an urban planet that can accommodate a larger population and gain high research efficiency. But the trade-off is that the planet's natural resources will not be able to be exploited, and production resources will need to be provided through overseas colonies.
It has to be said that the options that appear this time are much more intimidating than the racial characteristics of the last time.
Almost every one of them will cause earth-shaking changes on the earth, and the most terrifying of them is the special ability of the new planet [Internal Drive Assimilation].
Due to the 15 mechanical technology tendencies added by [Transforming Body], the mechanical technology tendencies of the Wandering Earth have reached 77 points.
In other words, [Internal Drive Assimilation] is indeed optional, and its effect is the same as the system description, turning the organic species of the entire planet into cyborg lifeforms, which is indeed a way of racial evolution.
It's just that Qiao Lu doesn't dare to make a decision lightly at all, who knows what the consequences will be.
Turning all of humanity into cyborgs? It's crazy.
Qiao Lu can't afford this responsibility!
"System, I apply for off-site support!" Qiao Lu said bluntly.
"Can you convert these three options into more detailed information for me to discuss with others?"
The system's reply was: "The details need to pay 500 civilization points." ”
It's really utilitarian.
However, this time the stakes are very high, so Qiao Lu will not consider saving, and directly pay 500 civilization points to let the system transmit the detailed information.
As soon as he handed over 500 civilization points, Qiao Lu received an urgent contact from Moss, and several other representatives of the coalition government were invited.
It seems that the system has put the details on Moss.
Qiao Lu rushed to the Earth Wheelhouse, and the other five permanent council representatives had already arrived. The source of the fire is placed on the cockpit console, connected by a large number of wires that seem to be deciphering something.
"What's going on?"
Qiao Lu asked Luo Feng, he didn't know how the system communicated the details of those three options to them.
Luo Feng replied: "Moss has found three mysterious protocols left over from the ancient Cybertron civilization from the Tinder Source, and one of them can be activated with the last remaining energy of the Tinder Source. And which one to activate is up to us. ”
"I see."
The ability of the system is really incredible, if it weren't for the fact that he spent 500 civilization points to exchange detailed information, then the Cybertron technology that was finally analyzed should be the one he chose.
After confirming the situation, Qiao Lu found a seat and sat down to see what kind of events each of the three options corresponded to.
Moss's narration also begins with the arrival of the personnel.
"Protocol one, internal drive assimilation. This protocol causes the ignition energy within the tinder source to diffuse throughout the planet's atmosphere, and all carbon-based organisms on Earth will gradually transform into cyborg life due to the long-term influence of the tinder energy. ”
Sure enough, as Qiao Law knew, this was the effect of the planet's ability [Internal Drive Assimilation].
But unlike Joe's short introduction, Moss also gives a more detailed prediction of biological transitions.
"Under the influence of this energy, humans will gradually transform into cyborgs, initially with only a small part of the skin, and then gradually become mechanical with internal organs, and bones into all-metal bones. This assimilation does not end in a generation, but intensifies as the process of human reproduction intensifies. Eventually, human mechanization will become more and more complete until only the brain is a physical organ. ”
To be honest, this kind of thing still sounds terrible, and when you wake up and find that you have an extra mechanical organ in your body, people with poor psychological endurance may go insane directly.
But it is undeniable that this is one of the development directions of human science and technology, like now there are many people on the wandering earth who have replaced themselves with a mechanical prosthetic.
Although most of them have lost limbs in wars or accidents, there are also people who simply want to replace their mechanical arms.
This is something that Qiao Lu was reminded of when he redeemed the special research project of [Neural Interface]. The industrial revolution in prosthetic technology is not just about providing services for people with disabilities.
How to choose is up to human beings.
