Chapter 55: The ...... of the First Spark
This is the end of the Maritime Era, and the Sea of Life will continue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many billions of years later, the sentence used by people in later generations to describe the other party's particularly tenacious vitality is not "as tenacious as Xiaoqiang", but "even if he is thrown into the Spark Era, this guy can still survive".
The fourth era of Lanxing, the Spark Age.
……
In the middle of nowhere, a star burns with flames.
Stars are violent, with frantic nuclear reactions taking place inside them, with enormous heat and pressure enough to destroy even the strongest solids.
Stars are also calm, unlike everything on the planet that changes rapidly. It's so stable, steady light, steady gravity, it won't change even after hundreds of millions of years.
Suddenly, there was a disturbance in the electromagnetic waves emitted from the star, as if they had been disturbed by something. Even though everything was immediately back to its original state, there was still something different from what it had just been.
This star, awakened.
The absolutely rational data calculation is over, and the hazy perceptual consciousness slowly returns, and the seemingly eternal starry sky begins to be examined anew, this cold and dark starry sky.
"Ah...... It's over. Xinglan woke up in a daze, although it was said that her perceptual consciousness had fallen into dormancy, but it was not difficult to receive the memories of these years at all, she quickly checked all the huge data processing work over the years, and couldn't help but let out a cheer, "Hmph, it's really as I expected!" ”
With the chaotic jump engine system, not only can the principle of chaotic transitions be deduced, but also more advanced stable transition methods can be discovered!
"Well, then it's still the old rule, go back to the base to check the situation first." Xinglan muttered as she turned the huge sensor of the signal in the star, locking onto a blue planet in the starry sky...... Lanxing.
After a little calibration, the purple satellite next to Lanxing that was still flashing with electric light was firmly locked in coordinates, and the signal flew out at the speed of light in an instant!
Target distance: 7 light minutes.
……
"So, 174 years have passed?" After flipping through the report of the main base, Xing Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, this time it is not like before, hundreds of millions of years have passed unconsciously. ”
Still, it's a little sad...... From the genetic samples, it can be estimated that the lifespan of the whale is about 80 years, and the baby whale is no longer there.
This kind of thing will still encounter a lot in the future, Xinglan didn't feel sad for too long, she quickly turned her attention back to business.
"All underwater robots are concentrated at their respective predetermined targets." Xinglan skillfully used the signals inside the computer system to send commands, "The carrier plane will send all the robots back to the base. ”
Watching several streamers on the screen take off from the base, Xinglan called up a picture again.
Map of the underground distribution of Arashi.
This is an analysis map of the internal activities of the Lanxing by the remote sensing satellites over the Lanxing in the past 174 years using a large amount of data. The plate tectonics of the star catalog and the meandering lava rivers underground can be clearly seen on the screen.
Xinglan's gaze was locked on one of the largest underground lava lakes.
This lava lake is located a little to the left of the center of the Lanxing Panarchaeocontinent, and the depth is not too deep, and the internal pressure is quite high, but it is rigidly suppressed by the crust above.
If left untreated, in a few hundred years, the area could experience a strong earthquake and then give birth to several volcanoes...... But this is nothing compared to what Xinglan intends to do.
"The goal this time is ...... Breaking the original ocean current circulation system, splitting and separating continents, creating geographical isolation to accelerate evolution, initiating mass extinctions, promoting the emergence of land and sky life, and ensuring that some important potential species such as sea giants do not become extinct. Xinglan carefully simulated the whole process in her heart, "There is only one chance, and you have to get it all in one step." So, let's choose this lava lake, if it happens on land, there is also a process of adaptation for marine life......"
The benefits of splitting continents are numerous, as it can break the original cycle of ocean currents and allow marine life to flourish globally, and it can also create geographical isolation and produce endemic species. Even in the event of a catastrophe, such as a forest fire, a supervolcano eruption, or a plague epidemic, the shielding of the ocean can reduce the impact to a continent rather than become a catastrophe for global terrestrial life.
After receiving the signal that the underwater robot was carrying the carrier back, Xinglan concentrated a large number of signals in the sky above the Lanxing Paneocontinent, and then walked underground regardless of the material barrier, drawing a more accurate data model of the lava lake, including the rock structure and composition above.
After three days, all the robots were recovered, and more than 90% of the species in the entire marine epoch were recorded...... As for the remaining part of the rare species, which are likely to be hiding in certain corners, it is really impossible to manage. At the same time, the first documentary on marine ecology of Lanxing and the first marine life specimen management office were successfully completed. These valuable materials and specimens are deeply preserved in the underground base of the Dead.
Now, now that the state of the lava lake has been calculated, it's time to begin...... Xinglan set her eyes into the depths of the starry sky, come here, Joan.
……
This is a wandering boulder in the starry sky, it even reaches about eight kilometers in diameter, like a large mountain rolling forward in space.
The desolate gray rock surface is covered with tiny craters that are hundreds of millions of years old, because since it was given its mission, it has been transferred to the orbit of this asteroid with few other asteroids.
As the first forerunner of the Spark Age, its name was ...... Joan.
[Engine ignition.] 】
Rumble!
Accompanied by an invisible signal in the distance, several nuclear star engines composed of signal pros attached to Joan's exterior ignited violently, spewing out huge plasma beams thousands of meters long, propelling the behemoth to rotate slowly.
It doesn't take much precision to propel an asteroid, it just needs power, immensely large force. Therefore, it is most appropriate to be propelled by a star engine with a pure signal substructure.
Just like the vigorous star-making movement 500 million years ago, the light of the star engine once again lit up on the asteroid. Although it is not the same size as its predecessors, this legendary asteroid, Joan, is destined to be immortalized in the annals of history.
Because it announced the end of the Marine Era and the beginning of the Spark Period.
After a slight correction of stance, Joan flipped to the angle in the setting, and then the main engine on the back spewed out a huge blue flame again. Countless pieces of rubble that could not withstand this acceleration due to their loose structure shattered from the asteroid, while the main part rushed towards the interior of the star system without hesitation!
……
Ice Moon, Frost Rain.
Unlike the terrifying Moon of Thunder and the fury of the Moon of Fire, the Moon of Ice gives people only ...... Soft and calming.
In the sky, where there is no atmosphere, the blue stars and the stars are clearly visible in front of you. On the 10,000-year-old glacial lake where no one has set foot in, there are no waves, no storms, but the ice surface that has been smashed by meteorites is infinitely peaceful.
Discrete signal prons suddenly become active, and they begin to converge under the influence of a certain signal, rotate and deform, and assemble into sensors capable of sensing various signals.
These mysterious particles that are even more elusive than neutrinos......
Xinglan left the Void, and her main consciousness opened her eyes on the frost rain. She doesn't need to stay in the control room to manipulate the entire process button by button, the sub-signal that manipulates the machinery is a part of her, and every command is issued internally.
With the unimaginable visual discrimination ability of the signal sub-aggregate, Xinglan can already find a faint point of light in the frosty sky.
In the absence of an atmosphere in space, the asteroid itself naturally does not emit light, but the star engine installed on it can emit a huge light and penetrate the vacuum.
"The simulation process confirmed that the speed at the end of the impact: 38 kilometers per second."
"The angle of impact with the slices of the planet is: 15 degrees."
"Impact: Panpaleocontinental Central Left Lava Lake, No. 139."
"Certification, the star engine is in order."
The point of light became brighter and brighter, gradually pulling a small band of light in the sky.
Countless signal subs permeate this space, they are very sparsely distributed and not large enough to form a complete sensor, but they are perfect positioning systems.
The signal cloud enveloped Lan Xing, spreading out in all directions, all the while encompassing Joan, who was advancing at high speed. By comparing the positions, the angle and speed of the flight are calculated, and then fine-tuned.
"Now it's ...... Speed 35 kilometers per second. Joan has already begun to accelerate under the gravitational pull of Lan Xing......" Xing Lan was also a little nervous, she combined with Lan Xing's operation to change the jet power, to ensure that Joan's final landing point is in the crust above the lava lake, "Star engine, separation!" ”
As before, with the removal of the adsorption device, the star engine was completely separated from the asteroid with a single reverse jet, and it transformed into a planetary maker in the starry sky that could move at will, and flew into the distance.
Despite losing the power source, Joan is still flying at a fairly high inertial speed. As the distance gets closer, the gravitational pull of Lanxing and the three surrounding moons is becoming more and more obvious.
When planning the route in advance, Xinglan not only took into account the rotation, revolution and gravitational force of Lanxing, but also took into account the factors of frost, gangli and dykeeping, so there was no need to worry about Joan going out of the correct orbit or even colliding directly with the satellite due to the gravitational pull of the satellite.
"Everything will be fine." Xinglan muttered to herself, "Use the impact of the asteroid impact on the ground to break through the thin stratum, and directly release the huge power accumulated inside. These gushing super lava flows will spread all the time, even slicing through continents. ”
"If the impact site is on land, the impact on the marine ecosystem will be slightly smaller. At the same time, the large amount of dust raised by the asteroid impact will obscure the sky for a while, but when it falls back to the ground again, it will become mineral-rich soil. Once plants spread on land, are they still worried that they will not be able to evolve land animals? ”
Everything is arranged and has gone through countless simulations, and there will be absolutely no failure!
……
Lanxing Ocean.
A juvenile bone-crushing squid roams the ocean, and although it is only a juvenile, its unique skeletal construction ability allows it to survive easily. The careless bone-crushing squid didn't notice that there were unusual fluctuations in the water around it, as if something invisible was approaching.
In an instant, lightning flashed, and the juvenile bone-crushing squid completely lost consciousness before he could understand what was happening.
A small gap suddenly appeared at the end of the bone-crushing squid's tentacles, then gradually expanded, and the flesh fragments gathered in the sea out of thin air, and quickly disappeared.
The invisible enemy suddenly stopped eating and looked upwards, as if sensing something.
A brilliant band of light like an aurora flashed in the seawater, and the violent electromagnetic field fluctuations spread, and the invisible creature ejected like a cannonball from an electromagnetic cannon, rushing towards the depths of the ocean......
……
In different parts of the star, several different creatures near the surface of the sea looked at the sky together, saw the brightening point of light at the top of the atmosphere, and at the same moment, they did not hesitate to dive into the sea and swim downward.
They include tidal horseshoe crabs, sand sponges, whales, and many strange creatures whose names cannot be named, but they all have one thing in common: a purple spot the size of a coin on the surface of their bodies.
……
"Strange creatures that have yet to be discovered, I hope you will survive, and we will meet in the coming era." Xinglan sighed softly, looking at the asteroid that was already rubbing and glowing in the air even without the star engine, "Go, Joan, go and start a new era." ”
Under the gaze of countless beings, this light of destruction flew across the ocean at an incredible speed, heading straight for land, and then ......
Joan, it's coming.
