Chapter Ninety-Five: The Attributes of the Wandering Earth
After experiencing the development of two worlds, the attributes of the wandering earth have undergone earth-shaking changes, and Qiao Lu's efforts along the way can finally see some results.
[Planet Name]: The Wandering Earth
[Main species]: Human, Transformers
[Civilization Level]: Planetary system civilization
[Current population]: 3.5 billion
[Technological Thought]: Materialism (Mechanical Tendency)
[Ethnic characteristics]: homeland feelings, control of nature
[Special Ability]: Planetary Engine, Hidden Sky Screen
One of the most interesting changes is naturally the upgrade of the civilization level from the original "home star civilization" to the current "planetary system civilization", which can be said to be a landmark change.
Of course, this is just a matter of course.
From the moment the Wandering Earth was able to mine resources on the planet Pandora, humanity has been freed from relying solely on the natural resources of the home planet.
Possessing the means to gather resources across planets is one of the hallmarks of the civilization of the planetary system.
Not to mention the Cybertron system behind it, Qiao Lu also piloted the Cybertron planet that the Earth slashed and shattered, turning its planet into a new vein located in the southern hemisphere.
All this indicates that the Wandering Earth has the means to exploit the resources of other planets, and is no longer the home planet civilization that only uses the natural resources of the Earth.
What's more, in terms of space power, the Wandering Earth also has its first starship of its own, the Ark.
Even the Wandering Earth itself, which is a giant space carrier.
This kind of power has far exceeded the level of a home star civilization, but an interstellar civilization that can entrench in a planetary system.
According to the normal process, it is to form a space fleet and establish colonies across multiple planetary systems, which is a higher-level transgalactic civilization.
Of course, the situation of the wandering earth is quite special, and I am afraid that there is no way to develop according to this normal process.
But it has the potential to develop into a unique interdimensional civilization, not conquering multiple galaxies, but conquering multiple planes as colonies of planets.
Of course, this depends on the efforts of all mankind, including Qiao Lu.
Another point that Qiao Lu is more concerned about is the materialism in the trend of scientific and technological thought, followed by a mechanical tendency.
There is no doubt that at present, mechanical technology is the most mainstream scientific and technological development discovery on the wandering earth, and the prosthetic transformation technology and the transformation mecha technology are all flourishing, while the corresponding mutation technology is still stagnant, and the harmonious technology that uses cosmic energy is making no progress.
There's no way, the two worlds I'm currently experiencing are almost only on the plane of mechanical technology, and I really can't get some more practical and basic mutation technology and harmony technology.
We can only hope that the next world will be richer in terms of science and technology, otherwise it will be difficult to see the future picture of human beings freely choosing the direction of evolution that Qiao Law Firm wants.
After examining the changes in the attributes of the Wandering Earth, Qiao Lu had to think about how to use the remaining 17545 civilization points.
He had three options in front of him.
Special Research Project: Mass Production of Antimatter I.
Project Brief Introduction:
We've learned how to use antimatter to power our machines, but how to produce antimatter in large quantities is still a difficult technical puzzle to overcome.
The most curious thing is how the RDA overcame this dilemma and was able to apply antimatter to spacecraft power on a large scale.
Luckily, the antimatter-nuclear hybrid system used by the Startup Star gives us a hint. With such a volume of only 0.5% of the total system volume, the antimatter annihilation chamber can provide more than 95% of the interstellar power of the Entrepreneurial Star, so what is the rest of the nuclear power chamber used for?
The obvious answer is that it is used to supply the antimatter fuel needed for the antimatter annihilation chamber.
By studying the fragments of these nuclear power compartments, perhaps we will be able to find more efficient ways to produce antimatter.
Of course, this is not an easy thing to do, and it must be tried in stages to find the best way. However, preliminary estimates suggest that the first phase will increase our antimatter production by a factor of five.
R&D Needs: Entrepreneurial Star Wreckage, Antimatter Annihilation Chamber
Accelerated Research: Requires 13,000 civilization points
Unlock Item: Antimatter Mass Production II.
Note: This research project is a hierarchical research project, and only after completing the highest level research project will it affect technology tendencies and trigger special events.
This means that there will be special research projects such as Antimatter Mass Production III and Antimatter Mass Production IV.
It seems that it is impossible to achieve the Wandering Earth's antimatter production in kilograms overnight, but it is already quite an exaggerated effect to increase the current antimatter production by 5 times, and you can't ask for more.
Another special research project is also on antimatter technology.
Special Research Project: Antimatter Pulse Weapons
Project Brief Introduction:
In addition to providing great power, antimatter is also an excellent weapon material. In addition to being able to create powerful antimatter bombs, non-lethal weapons made using antimatter pulses also have considerable potential for development.
This pure pulse weapon can disable electronic devices on a large scale without harming life, and pulse weapons made of large amounts of antimatter can even rewind the modern civilization of an entire planet into the age of steam in an instant.
Moreover, this antimatter pulse will not dissipate immediately, but will stay on the surface of the planet for hundreds of years, so that the development of the planet's civilization will always stay in the steam age, and it will be impossible to make any electronic devices, and it is naturally impossible to enter the age of electricity.
Compared to killing all the people on a planet, this weapon may be a more humane method. Of course, only if necessary.
R&D Requirements: Antimatter Annihilation Chamber
Accelerated Research: Requires 14,000 civilization points
Explanation item: Antimatter Light Spear Weapon
Note: This technology leads to the synthetic evolutionary route, which will increase the Wandering Earth's mechanical technology tendency by 14 points, and has a chance to trigger the Steampunk Era.
In the Steampunk Age, if you accidentally apply the Antimatter Pulse weapon to your own planet, it will cause your civilization to regress to the Age of Steam, and develop into a steampunk civilization under the continuous interference of the Antimatter Pulse, until the Antimatter Pulse completely dissipates before the power can be rediscovered.
This technology feels a bit like the wisdom of "The Three-Body Problem", and it can also lock the basic scientific development of a certain civilization.
It's just that the antimatter pulse weapon is a little more ruthless, and it can be said that it has done enough to directly lock the technological level of a civilization in the steam age.
The last item left is the [Soul Transfer] that I learned from the Na'vi people in the Avatar world.
This technology can transfer a person's soul from one body to another, and even immortalize an individual with the help of human cloning or robotics.
Once this technology is redeemed, the definition of human beings predicted by Qiao Law will really change immediately.
Some people may turn themselves into Avatars (aka Na'vi), others may turn themselves into robots, and even Moss may acquire a physical body to appear in the real world.
These are the three technologies that Qiao Lu can choose from at the moment.
