Chapter 14: Alien Spaceships
The meeting lasted 24 hours, and hundreds of proposals, large and small, were agreed. Faced with an existential crisis, mad scientists have come up with all their ingenuity, such as synthetic glucose, synthetic protein, etc., but they have all been shelved for various reasons.
The technology that human beings have is so weak in the face of the test of life and death. In fact, humans don't even have the means to synthesize glucose artificially without the help of plants!
It wasn't until the next morning that Yu Yifeng walked out of the venue with a tired face, but the look in his eyes couldn't be hidden, the plan had been formulated, as long as it was implemented, there was still hope for mankind!
Perfection, the biggest hope is still perfection!
In the meeting, some scientists proposed that a batch of super plants can be cultivated by using perfection element, and then use this batch of super plants to produce food!
After all, three months is too short a time, it takes a lot of time just to lay out the site and produce new equipment, and ordinary plants are not very adaptable to the environment, and maybe an air leak or a failure of the cultivation machine will easily take their lives. And humanity just can't afford to fail!
But superplants don't have this problem. For example, Super Rice, which has been transformed from an herbaceous plant to a woody plant after being transformed by Perfect Rice, is tall, has increased yield, and has greatly enhanced its environmental adaptability.
This super rice is not only resistant to cold and heat, but can even survive in an extreme cosmic environment for a short period of time, although only for a short time, that is enough!
And the time it takes for super rice to mature from germination to maturity is only two months, that is, humans have at least one month to prepare! In this way, there is a lot more time.
"In the past, the federal government was very strict about perfection and required written approval for any experiment, but now it's different." Yu Yifeng recalled, "The moon base has preserved enough perfect elements for six million people, and now our population is only 50,000...... So, it's okay to use some on plants. ”
Dr. Roman nodded, but said without worry, "However, the control of Perfection must continue. We don't understand how it works, and if we use it indiscriminately and there are some superbugs, superbugs, or whatever, it's going to be a big problem. ”
At present, human beings' exploration of perfection is still on the surface, and they only know that it has an evolutionary effect on life, but they do not know how it works. This direction of evolution is uncontrollable, and there is no way to predict it, if there is really something like Resident Evil, Aliens, etc., then all of humanity will be doomed.
"Yes, technology has always been a double-edged sword, and a certain amount of control is still necessary." Yu Yifeng nodded.
At this time, the group is heading to the alien spaceship, which is also the core of the entire base, which is buried deep in the bottom of Bailey's crater. According to the plan, all humans will gradually relocate to this ship in the future, and the surface part will be vacated for the cultivation of plants.
Although it was not the first time Yu Yifeng had seen this spaceship, he was still deeply surprised by the scene in front of him. It was so large that it could not be seen at a glance, and according to measurements, it was fifteen kilometers in diameter. Such a large volume alone cannot be created by human technology.
It's not streamlined, it's not like a flying saucer, it's a perfectly round sphere, like a hollow lead ball. The surface of the hull is a silvery-gray metal-like substance, hard and thick. In fact, people have studied this unknown material before, but there are too many differences in the technical level, and there has been little progress after 30 years.
It is not a "neutron star material" in science fiction, unlike any known matter, under a scanning tunneling microscope, there is no atomic structure, no electrons, no nucleus...... It's still a dense existence, which is obviously beyond human understanding.
It is completely smooth, even at the atomic scale. The friction generated by the surface of the sphere is almost zero, so the surface of the ship looks spotless and sparkling.
Nowadays, people are self-aware, and few people study this unknown material, only that it is a product of the same technology level as Perfect Su. It's hard and reliable enough, and maybe in the future, when technology is more advanced, someone will think about it again.
Yu Yifeng walked around the spaceship and found "mirror" objects on the surface of the hull, which were a bit like the water surface hanging on the wall, with a little ripple from time to time, which was very magical. He touched this layer of "water" with his hand, and the entire palm of his hand went straight through, as if it had disappeared, and when he pulled his hand out, he found that the palm was still intact.
"Captain Yu, these water-like things are the entrance to the ship." Physicist Felix said, "There are more than 2,000 of these entrances, large and small, and since the surface of the spacecraft is completely smooth, there is almost no way to borrow power, so we can only mount facilities through these entrances and exits." You see, this is also the entrance to our lunar lab, please come in. ”
This entrance is six or seven meters wide, Yu Yifeng did not hesitate, got up and drilled into this layer of "water", at this moment, he felt as if he had passed through a world, his center of gravity was unstable all of a sudden, and his body shook.
Gravity! He felt gravity like the earth!
The gravitational acceleration on Earth is about 9.8 meters per square second, which is also the gravitational force that humans are used to. The gravity on the moon is only one-sixth that of the Earth, so it is light to walk. But at this moment, Yu Yifeng bet that the gravity now is exactly the same as on the earth!
Felix walked in right after him, and as one of the most prominent physicists of our time, he had studied the ship for many years and knew all about its basic information.
"As you can see, this ship has its own gravity system." Felix lamented, "Extraterrestrial civilizations have created gravity in spaceships with technology that we can't imagine. ”
"The strength of gravity varies with altitude." He drew a spherical image and explained with his hand, "At the highest point of the ball, the gravity is almost zero, and the further down the ball, the greater the gravity, and at the bottom of the spacecraft it even reaches 20 times the gravity of the earth!" It's great technology that we can feel gravity at different intensities on a spaceship.
And where we are standing now, gravity is just the same as the Earth once was...... The location is roughly in the middle of the sphere. ”
"That's why we chose this location for our lab! What we humans are most accustomed to is this kind of gravity. ”
Yu Yifeng paced back and forth for a while, such a feeling can't be wrong...... The same gravity environment as the Earth, it's amazing!
"Mr. Felix, how big is this ship? How many people can live? Yu Yifeng asked.
Felix showed a strange expression and said with a smile, "Captain Yu, the space inside this spaceship is distorted, far larger than you think!" From the outside, it is a sphere with a diameter of 15 kilometers, but the inside is not. ”
"Measured from the inside, the diameter in the horizontal direction is about 200 kilometers, which is 13 times larger than the outside, and the length in the vertical direction is 60 kilometers, which is also 4 times larger. It looks like a round ball on the outside, but it's an enlarged ellipsoid on the inside! ”
"This is - space folding technology......"
"Personally, I think that there may be an object with a mass of up to 100 billion tons underneath the spacecraft, which creates a strong gravitational pull, and this distorted space creates this unique gravity environment. If we had such a technology...... Alas......" Felix suddenly sighed, feeling a little lost, perhaps the more he knew, the more he understood the ignorance and insignificance of human beings.
The vast universe contains many truths. Man, on the other hand, is like a child playing by the sea, rejoicing from time to time when he finds a stone that is smoother or a shell more beautiful than usual, and what is revealed to him is a sea of truth that is completely undiscovered.
At this time, Dr. Roman, a biologist, also said, "The spaceship is big enough, if we really build a complete ecosystem and establish a carbon, oxygen, and water cycle, human beings can live in it for a long time." ”
"But we need to fix the ship first. With the exception of our labs, where the rest of the area is almost in a vacuum, don't these damn aliens need air? Roman said.
Yu Yifeng walked around casually, looking at this laboratory curiously, in fact, he was born here and had some vague memories.
This is undoubtedly the best laboratory in the entire scientific community. Electronics, chemistry, biology, physics, and other cutting-edge experimental facilities can be found here.
High-gravity, low-gravity or even gravity-free environments do not exist on Earth, and a large number of researchers have flocked to it, and in the past 30 years, it has become the most cutting-edge science and technology base.
Yu Yifeng put on his spacesuit and walked out of the laboratory, there was a vacuum environment outside, dark, no light, no atmosphere. If the inside of the laboratory is a well-decorated house, then the outside is a rough room, empty, with a hint of purple metal on the ground, cold and silent, with a rough beauty.
This kind of metal-like thing has a very high strength, and tens of millions of temperatures can't destroy it, but compared to the spaceship shell, the technology content is lower, after all, it has friction and belongs to the atomic level of the substance.
The interior of the spaceship is a bit like a honeycomb structure, with its own hexagonal "rooms". These "rooms" are terrible, the length and width are more than a few thousand meters, it can be said that a "room" can accommodate a mountain!
The entire ship had been searched and nothing was found, except for the Perfection element found in the middle room......
The ship has no wheelhouse, no power room, not even an engine! This has led to many human reveries, how did the spaceship start? Why is there nothing inside, are the aliens evacuated en masse? What do they look like?
Yu Yifeng was even a little suspicious, this was not a spaceship at all, but a container, a container containing a perfect element...... But why is it on the moon? Why is it so huge? Is there any secret to be hidden?
These secrets, perhaps no one will ever know, perhaps some of them are known by the previous coalition governments, but with the explosion of the earth, all the secrets are buried in history. All he knew was that this spaceship was about to become the home of mankind......
A certain amount of planning is essential, and residential areas, industrial areas, agricultural areas, entertainment venues, laboratories, etc., all need to be planned in advance. It is envisaged that the lower gravity zone above and the middle medium gravity zone are the places where humans can survive normally. The high-gravity area at the bottom of the spaceship is of little use, and the fragile human body cannot withstand much gravity.
In short, the specific design is left to the engineers.
What I have to do now is to mobilize! Mobilize all decadent people.
