At the NASA rocket base, countless scientists are working on a new engine that has just been shipped from China, which is said to be a new type of engine made by alien technology.

It only takes 15 days to get from Earth to Mars with this kind of engine, which is more than ten or twenty times ahead of the engines made by Earth Technology.

After observing the situation on Mars, NASA's first reaction was to launch a rocket to observe the situation of the Martian crater.

However, after inquiring about Hua Guo and learning that an unknown civilization was suspected of appearing on Mars, NASA gave up the original idea and chose to cooperate with Hua Guo.

In the face of the threat of alien civilizations, some of the previous contradictions are no longer important.

Now everyone is a whole, if the alien civilization is really hostile to the earth, there is no force on the earth civilization that can be left alone.

Fortunately, Huaguo did not refuse to cooperate, and after paying a certain price, NASA got a super engine.

Originally, NASA was going to study how this engine works, but after visiting a demonstration of plant engine disassembly in Huaguo, everyone gave up on the idea.

This is a completely different technology from Earth, and there is no Earth technology to refer to in the internal structure.

Just take the engine apart and never think about putting it back together.

The engine, like a living being, is not at all the mechanical technology route of the earth.

After getting the engine this time, NASA scientists don't plan to disassemble it repeatedly.

Since we know that technology cannot be copied, we can only use this engine directly like Huaguo.

Fortunately, this engine has a lot of external interfaces, which can be matched with the current spacecraft of mankind.

The fuel needed is only radioactive elements, which have been used by humans for decades and have created the most powerful weapon in human history, mushroom bombs.

Originally, NASA had a Mars launch mission, but now it saves a lot of effort.

As long as the original rocket is modified, it is possible to match the plant engine to the previous vehicle.

And the original rocket shell can also withstand the thrust of the current engine.

In fact, as long as the engine can keep up, the outer shell of the spaceship will basically not have much of a problem.

In the universe, there is no need to think about air friction.

You just need to make the spacecraft able to withstand the friction of the air from the Earth to outer space, and there will be no problem, the Martian air is thin, and the friction of the spacecraft on the outer shell when it lands will not be particularly large.

As for the air friction problem of the earth, the engine power can be adjusted, and when flying into space, the speed will be slowed down, even if the materials are poor, there is no need to worry that the spacecraft will not be able to withstand it.

NASA scientists did not raise any questions about this, nor did they know that another supermaterial was used in Huaguo's secret space base.

The plant engine was soon replaced by the Perseverance 2 spacecraft in the design research of scientists.

Two months ago, Perseverance conducted its sixth sampling and analysis of Martian soil on Mars, and Perseverance 2's original purpose was to fly to Mars and recollect more Martian soil to bring back to Earth.

According to previous plans, this task will not succeed until the end of 2023.

Because it took half a year to launch, and it would take seven or eight months to recover, or even longer.

After all, the motivation to return is much weaker than the motivation to go.

Now there is no such trouble, as long as the plant engine is supplied with enough radioactive elements, and the power generated is enough for the spacecraft to travel to and from Mars.

In total, it only takes more than a month, saving one or two years.

The most important thing is that the situation on Mars is complicated now, and it is impossible to wait a year.

NASA is eager to know the true situation on Mars, after all, no one knows whether the information given by Huaguo's secret space base has reservations.

They only know some information now, such as the suspected existence of the remains of the mushroom civilization under the Tengger Desert.

Regarding this point, many scientists in the beautiful country have stayed on the red beach for a long time and participated in the excavation of the relics of the mushroom civilization in the red beach, and all the news is bad news.

In addition, it is also known that the mushroom civilization of Mars has a high level of intelligence, and Huaguo showed them a video of the mushroom civilization of Mars crushing human puppets at that time.

The Martian civilization blackmailed the Earth civilization and asked the Earth civilization to provide the replication fungus, and they also knew about it.

What we don't know at present is what hole cards the Martian civilization has, what their combat effectiveness is, whether they have the ability to come to the earth, and whether they can threaten the earth civilization.

The most important task of the transformed Perseverance 2 spacecraft is to find out the activity area and combat effectiveness of the Martian civilization.

If necessary, it is possible to pretend that there is an accident and perform a ramming operation on an already understood area.

According to the secret protocol of mankind, the spacecraft launched by NASA this time will accidentally leave some large parts, such as a certain compartment of the rocket, and directly smash into the crater of the mushroom man.

If the Martian civilization were really strong, it would not allow this to happen.

Of course, if the Martian civilization had defensive capabilities, such as having a protective shield, to block this unexpected attack, it would not be something that humans could afford to provoke.

If the mushroom civilization uses any weapon to intercept the Martian spacecraft cabin that fell from the sky, it will not be something that humans can afford to provoke.

At that time, the attitude towards the Martian civilization may also change.

This naturally comes with certain risks, such as provoking the mushroom civilization.

However, the earth civilization is ready, if it perceives that it can't resist and admit its mistakes as soon as possible, if it can't admit its mistakes, it can be regarded as a test of the details of the mushroom civilization.

And no matter what the mushroom civilization will do, the earth civilization has reached an agreement, that is, to prepare for the worst plan, that is, how to deal with it after the alien civilization invades the earth.

In addition to cooperating in scientific research and re-cooperating with private enterprises, the major forces have also cooperated in military forces.

With the current technology of human beings, they also have the ability to intercept some extraterrestrial meteorites.

For example, in the movie, it was discovered that a super meteorite from outside the sky smashed into the earth, and then the earth launched a rocket to bomb the meteorite with a nuclear bomb, which was prepared before.

In addition to strengthening previous plans, this time it is necessary to unite multiple forces to build the largest anti-air laser launcher on Earth.

A number of cities have been selected, and this kind of large-scale ground-to-air laser emitter will be installed in the future.

If there are really aliens attacking the earth, there will be a little bit of resistance.

The time soon came in March, and NASA's Perseverance 2 spacecraft was finally launched, and relevant news was also made public in the space bases of major forces.

It will not be admitted to the outside world that Mars has discovered an extraterrestrial civilization.

Although on the surface it denies the doubts raised by some astronomy enthusiasts, in fact, the major forces have recently conducted disaster prevention drills.

Some forces use war prevention dramas.

In order to create an atmosphere, there was even a joint exercise of multiple forces.

After all kinds of operations, the matter was finally confused, and there were fewer and fewer people who still suspected the appearance of an alien civilization on Mars.

Of course, in order not to let things get out of control, the spaceship that promised to provide the mushroom civilization with replicating fungi also set off with NASA's Perseverance.

So there are two spacecraft to Mars this time, and they are not reported in the news.

Fortunately, Yang Zhou had a message from Zhou Guoqiang, which let him know in advance that two spacecraft were heading to Mars and would land near the South Pole crater on Mars in half a month.

He didn't yet know NASA's plans for an accidental impact.

Yang Zhou is extracting radioactive elements in the underground lake at the south pole of Mars, after many experiments, and occasionally consulting senior bosses like Li Wei, but there is really no way to ask for help from the forum, Yang Zhou finally figured out how to use the World Tree to extract radioactive elements.

And he also improved it, allowing the World Tree to extract the genes of radioactive elements and combine them with the Creation Mushroom.

A new species has been studied.

Of course, it's not so much the new plant as the grafting technique.

First of all, the genetic code of the World Tree is locked, and Yang Zhou cannot view it.

So this time, we just used the World Tree to absorb the water of the Antarctic underground lake to extract heavy metal liquids, which contain a variety of metal elements, not only radioactive elements, but also gold, iron, silver, copper, and other messy things.

This liquid certainly cannot be used as an energy source for laser systems, shroud systems, or high-energy crystals.

However, Yang Zhou has a genes mushroom that has completely mastered the genes, and after modifying the genesis mushroom, Yang Zhou obtained a new replicating fungus rich in uranium.

This fungus is a reference to the enrichment extraction method used on Earth to extract uranium from seawater.

Yang Zhou himself is a biological expert on the earth, and he also has research on super-enriched plants that absorb metal elements, so he doesn't need to go to the laboratory to get materials, and he can carry out relevant experiments in his own space.

After absorbing the technology of extracting uranium from mushrooms used by the foot basin country, Yang Zhou found the genetic code that specifically absorbs uranium inside the Genesis mushroom.

The next step is to use the gene editor of the mysterious space to strengthen this gene code as the main element of the plant, and use gene cutting technology to integrate the high-level gene code of the creation mushroom into the low-level plants.

There are no incompatibilities, and the gene editor is inherently synthetic.

The compatibility problems encountered by human biologists do not exist here in Yang Zhou.

At this time, Yang Zhou was possessed by the creation mushroom of Mars, and in front of him was a pool of wood, which was the size of a basketball court, and soaked in countless newly created enrichment and replication fungi.

These fungi are not like the replicating fungi of the earth that are the size of a palm, and now the replicating fungi are almost invisible to the naked eye as replicating spores.

Only the surface of the pool can be seen to be covered with a layer of silver.

This is actually a scene of countless microorganisms floating on the surface of the water, all of which are absorbing trace amounts of radioactive elements in the pool.

After the extraction is completed, only these microorganisms need to be concentrated to obtain radioactive elements containing impurities.

The microorganisms are then heated at high temperatures, and some impurities will be burned to ashes.

Pure uranium can spontaneously ignite in air or oxygen at room temperature, and fine-grained uranium can also spontaneously ignite in water.

Under certain conditions, the energy emitted by uranium oxidation can cause an explosion.

For example, uranium rods used in power stations, also called fuel rods, are not pure uranium, fuel rods are made of fuel pellets and cladding.

The pellet is a uranium oxide, generally uranium dioxide, of which the enrichment of uranium-235 is about 4%.

The cladding is generally a zirconium alloy, and the melting point of the fuel rod is about more than 1,200 degrees.

The same uranium element extracted by Yang Zhou is not pure uranium, which contains a large number of other metal impurities.

The melting point is also more than 1000 degrees, and the metal shell will not be affected when melting other carbon impurities and plant impurities at high temperatures.

If Yang Zhou wants to do it, he can make uranium mixed into the shell of the previous replica fungus, which is a supermelt material, with a melting point of more than a trillion degrees, and the supermelt material has now been used in the "Little Sun" project.

Of course, doing so will only make uranium scrapped.

Because neither high-energy crystals nor laser weapon plants can use radioactive element alloys with such a high melting point.

Yang Zhou's new uranium shell plant naturally avoids these problems, its uranium content is about 5%, Yang Zhou asked about the iron egg, this uranium content of the metal rod high-energy crystal fire source can be completely absorbed.

It's just that the quality of the transformed high-energy crystal will be much lower.

But it doesn't matter, if the quality is not good, use the quantity to make up.

The World Tree at the Mars base is absorbing the surrounding water resources with all its might, and finally converts it into a concentrated heavy metal liquid that is transported to this pool.

Converting the heavy metal liquid in the entire pool into a uranium alloy shell, it is estimated that hundreds of grams of uranium can be obtained, and if you count the alloy, it is hundreds of catties of metal.

This is already the limit of Yang Zhou's estimate, and there is also an upper limit to the liquid water under the Antarctic glacier.

Only near the heat source does it melt into water, and more places remain frozen ground and glaciers, and the water is shrunk into the mud.

This requires the World Tree to rely on its own temperature to slowly melt these solid water resources, which should not be needed at the moment.

When he saw that the uranium shell microorganisms in the pool were all shiny and sank to the bottom of the water, Yang Zhou asked the World Tree to absorb the excess water, which could filter the heavy metal liquid once, and then transform it twice.

Soon the liquid in the pool was sucked away, leaving behind a fine layer of silvery sand on the ground.

It looks like metal, but now these silver sand are still alive.

By this time, the entire cavern was filled with radiation.

Yang Zhou had already let Lin and these elves hide far away, and at present, only the Creation Mushroom and the World Tree possessed by him were not afraid of the danger of radiation.

Although Lynn's physique is quite different from that of ordinary people, she is also afraid of radiation.

By transforming these silver sands, what is needed now is high temperatures, which can reach hundreds of degrees Celsius to burn off the impurities in the silver.

There is no fuel on Mars, and it is a hassle to melt this batch of silver sand.

The World Tree was glowing, but the temperature did not exceed 100 degrees, so if he wanted to melt the impurities of these uranium shells, he had to find another way, Yang Zhou thought of the heat source at the bottom of the underground lake.

For now, we have to go underground to find heat.

The uranium shell obtained by melting impurities can become the raw material of high-energy crystal, and with high-energy crystal, it is easy to want high temperatures.

Most of this place can be melted with laser weapons.

Even the World Tree will certainly not be able to resist it, but the shell of the Creation Mushroom may be able to withstand the heat of laser weapons.
