Chapter 608: One Hundred Years of Solitude (4)
4/4/30 of the galaxy.
Fifteen years have passed since the foundation was built.
Huang Haojie and the Council of the Alliance once again adjusted the foundation building plan and increased investment in basic science.
The total population of the alliance also successfully exceeded 67.4 billion in this year.
The cantilever zone of Orion has a radius of 1,800 light-years, 167 administrative star systems, and 5,763 natural star systems.
Affiliated civilizations: Blue Star Native Civilization (1st Rank), Soth Civilization (1st Rank), Haiyin Civilization (2nd Rank), Shura Civilization (2nd Rank), Triangle Civilization (3rd Rank), Anluo Civilization (3rd Rank), Iceman Civilization (3rd Rank).
The Anluo civilization is the Anluo people who wander in the cantilevered arms of the constellation of Xianying, they were discovered by the alliance in the 22nd year of the galaxy, and then accepted as a subsidiary civilization.
The Iceman civilization is the only one of the 14 life planets found in the Orion cantilever region to enter the second-level civilization, and joined the alliance in the 24th year of the galaxy.
The Icemen's life form is very peculiar, they are silicon-based variants, their entire bodies are crystals, and they are the first non-humanoid sapient beings to be accepted by the Alliance.
Of course, there is actually another civilization that does not have this list - the Silicon civilization.
It's the ancient silicon star where Zhong is located, but it has not yet been recognized by the alliance, because Zhong has not bred a second intelligent life (silicon man), so only Zhong alone cannot be said to be a civilization.
Because civilization needs to be inherited, and if there is no way to complete the reproduction of mutated creatures with only a single individual, the consequence will be the complete extinction of this race in this universe where there is no immortality.
Therefore, a civilized race must be a plural reproducible type, and a singular non-reproducible type obviously cannot be said to be civilized.
Ancient silicon.
Zhong's body, a silicon-based lifeform transformed from a stand-in robot, he is four or five points similar to Huang Haojie in appearance.
He has always regarded Huang Haojie as his father, so in terms of appearance, after the determination of his own body, he was permanently fixed to his current appearance.
Silicon star in a synchronous orbit above.
The detonator-class space cruiser was converted into a research institute and residence.
"Huh?"
The battleship's quantum teleporter unexpectedly sent a teleportation request, and Zhong flipped through the teleportation request.
"From the Eternal Night? Strange, didn't you just send supplies a few days ago?" Zhong Bai was puzzled.
The Eternal Night Star is the Alliance's stronghold near the Ancient Silicon Star, with a quantum teleportation station on it.
Zhong turned on the quantum communication system and searched the Alliance's internal network, and after a while, he finally knew the cause and effect.
It turned out that the owner transferred a group of icemen from the Iceman Civilization to come over here to be his assistant.
In fact, the proportion of silicon-based organisms in the galaxy is only about 16%, while carbon-based organisms are about 57%, and there are sulfur-based organisms at about 12%, germanium-based organisms at about 5%, and the remaining 10% are combinatorial-based organisms and heavy element life.
Among these creatures, carbon-based is the easiest to give birth to intelligent life, and silicon-based is second only to carbon-based, like the three overlords in the core region of the galaxy and human civilization are typical carbon-based organisms.
For example, the Shura people where Poros is located, they are the lead-based life forms of heavy elemental life.
The home planet of the Shura people, on a planet rich in uranium and lead and filled with ionizing radiation, exists a life form that lives at the end of the periodic table (in contrast, carbon-based organisms on the blue star live at the front of the periodic table).
The main component of their bodies is metallic lead, and it is precisely because of the excellent radiation protection properties of lead that the environment in their body can be protected from the interference of the ionizing radiation environment outside the body.
Due to the presence of large amounts of uranium and its decay products in the planet, the atmosphere contains a large amount of radon gas.
The nuclear energy contained in this radon gas is the source of energy for lead-based organisms. The Shura breathe radon gas just as carbon-based creatures on the blue star breathe oxygen.
They can convert the rays emitted by Radon-222 into energy for physical activity.
Radon-222 decays into various radon progenitors: polonium, bismuth, and radioactive isotopes of lead and is used by their bodies, and eventually decays into stable lead-206 and becomes the building blocks of their bodies, allowing lead-based organisms to grow.
This type of planet is quite common in the inner layer of the core of the Milky Way, and only when it is universal can life be born.
Otherwise, if the environment of a planet is very unique and the whole universe is unique, the possibility of life appearing on this planet will be greatly reduced.
As he pondered, the ten icemen had already arrived on the Loyalty through the quantum teleporter.
[Hello, Chung-sir!] I'm Bai Guangming, a researcher at the Iceman Academy of Biological Sciences, and this is Bai ...... An electromagnetic wave was emitted to Chung.
[Hello!] Welcome to Ancient Silicon. Zhong knew that these icemen couldn't speak, they all used electromagnetic waves to communicate directly.
After some exchange, Tadashi placed the Iceman Research Institute on the Loyalty, along with 11 other members of the other two silicon-based sapient creature races (former pirate members from the Shura civilization).
Although silicon-based organisms have very obvious advantages, that is, they can quickly enter the era of industrialization and electrification, their shortcomings are also very obvious, and their reproductive ability is very weak.
Take the Iceman civilization as an example, it has developed 34,000 Blue Star years, but the population still has not exceeded 10 million.
If it is a Blue Star person, with sufficient resources, 34,000 years can make the population roll over hundreds of thousands of times, or even millions of times.
Zhong is very distressed now, no matter what he does, he can't give birth to a second silicon man, and if he can't reproduce, the silicon man can't be called a civilization at all.
Even if he copied the energy core and soul core, what he created could only be regarded as his own doppelganger, or a remotely controlled robot, which could not think independently at all, and a robot that could not think independently would always be a robot, not a life.
He looked helplessly at some papers on silicon-based organisms.
However, although he said that it was silicon-based organisms, in fact, there are many types of silicon-based organisms, just like silicon-based organisms, and there are many small types under the major categories.
According to the classification of silicon-based organisms, they belong to silicon-based organisms - intelligence class - dinucleus family - silicon humans.
And the iceman belongs to the silicon-based creature - the electrical energy class - the review family - the ice human.
The most obvious difference between the two is that the two cores of Zhong can be separated, while the Iceman has only one review (the energy core and the soul core are fused into one), and the review of the Iceman cannot be separated.
Tadaya has tried to fuse the two cores together, but after the fusion, they can still be separated at any time, not at all inseparable like the Iceman.
As for the silicon-based creatures of the two Shura civilizations, they are also from the review clan, and there is little significance for reference.
"How exactly can reproduction be accomplished? Do you want to try your luck and wait for another silicon-based creature of the dinuclear family to be born?" Zhong pondered and meditated.
In the Milky Way, among the silicon-based organisms that have been discovered so far, they are all of the review family, and Zhong is the only two-core family.
This directly cut off the possibility that he wanted to find a female silicon-based creature and then have a child, and asexual reproduction would not work, and bisexual reproduction would have no object.
I'm so hard! Zhong seems to feel that the FFF group is calling him, am I destined to be a single dog for 10,000 years?
"Ahh (?? ó﹏ò??) Why is this happening?"
The dozen or so silicon-based creatures who were working here as assistants suddenly tightened their chrysanthemums, and they knew that Boss Zhong was going crazy again.
