A creature needs to go through many processes to grow into a civilization,

From the use of tools, to the formation of language and writing, to the inheritance of knowledge,

And in the process of this series of development,

There is an important driving force, that is, the curiosity of living beings in the unknown world,

If you are curious about the thunder and lightning produced by atmospheric circulation,

When you look up at the night sky, imagine the stars,

Self-aware creatures are curious about everything around them,

And this is precisely an important driving force for the evolution of a civilization.

That's how human beings have come to be.

From the physics of apples smashing their heads, to the chemistry of fireworks, to the ability of yearning for birds to soar into the sky.

Human beings are always driven by curiosity to explore the world and achieve their own breakthroughs.

Although Yang Meng does not know the specific development process of the Lutan star,

When did their technological civilization begin?

Are there physicists who have been smashed in the head by an apple like humans?

But just by carrying out a large number of genetic experiments on the tiny creature of red haze,

It can be seen that the Rutans have a very high probability of having an inquisitive personality like humans.

If it is also as an inquiry into civilization,

Xiaoguang may be able to imagine what would happen when such a civilization encountered a strange and strange creature.

"Perhaps, it's my observation record of Rutan B in the past few days that triggered the memories of the Rutan creatures they had studied in the past!"

Thinking that Lu Tanxing below was almost out of life, Yang Meng finally nodded and agreed to Xiaoguang's proposal.

"I wonder what kind of environment is right for you?"

Hearing Yang Meng's inquiry, Xiaoguang responded after flickering for a few seconds:

"We've never left Rutan, what kind of place do we have to observe up close......"

"That's it!"

After Yang Meng and Xiaoguang discussed for a while,

Under the main task of returning home, he had one more small thing,

That is to help Xiaoguang find a suitable foothold,

And when this matter is decided,

Yang Meng was a little disappointed,

Xiaoguang, as the only Rutans discovered so far unknown,

There's still a lot to dig into it.

But Yang Meng knew that with the ability of small light to decompose materials, Yang Meng had no way to force it to do something without absolute control.

"I wonder what impact this point of light will have on the future if this point of light is taken out of the planet Rutan B?"

All this is unknown to him, and indeed to the whole of humanity,

From the moment the spaceship lost control and crashed into the one on Planet Rutan B,

Many things are already out of Yang Meng's control.

Yang Meng slowly drifted away from the corridor with a messy thought,

And the little light still floated to the porthole, looking at the cosmic scene outside the porthole, as if the scene outside could never be enough.

……

Although it has been decided to put the little light on other planets,

But Yang Meng was not in a hurry to leave the orbit of Rutan B.

The observation of Planet Rutan B is not over yet,

As a planet where civilizations have existed, Planet Rutan B is like a mountain of gold waiting to be excavated.

In the days that followed,

Yang Meng tried to use telemetry technology to draw a high-resolution surface map of Planet B.

However, because of the thick clouds of the planet Lu B,

Only long-wave technology can penetrate the clouds to reach the ground,

The map drawn by long-wave technology is very rudimentary, and compared with normal maps, it can only draw a rough geological type.

And just by virtue of a rough topographic structure map, Yang Meng found a strange place,

On the entire Rutan Star, there are clouds but there is no river or ocean composed of liquid, which makes Yang Meng feel very strange:

"If there were no oceans, where would the heavy clouds come from?"

Thinking back to what I saw on Rutan,

There seems to be ice on the surface of Rutan, but this does not fully explain the existence of thick atmosphere.

The water vapor produced by the sublimation of ice and snow cannot support the existence of such a thick and huge cloud system.

And the planet Rutan B has a certain axial inclination,

This also means that Star B has four seasons, according to Xiao Yi's simulation calculation, because of the change of seasons,

There are areas where the temperature can rise above freezing, and it is impossible to have no rivers.

With this question, Yang Meng found Xiaoguang and consulted him about this question, and the answer given by Xiaoguang was also very simple:

"Most of the water on Rutan is underground!"

As for why it's underground,

Yang Meng got an unexpected answer,

The entire water vapor cycle of the Rutan Star Capital has been transformed into a circulation energy storage device by the Rutan Star people.

At first, Yang Meng didn't understand such a circulation device.

But with Xiaoguang's explanation, Yang Meng found that humans also seemed to take advantage of this natural phenomenon.

It's just that with the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion, this production capacity has become dispensable.

On Earth,

Because of the sun's irradiation, the temperature rises, and the water on the earth's surface evaporates, slowly forming clouds.

And the clouds advance with the direction of the wind, meet the mountains, or cold air and gather, rain and snow.

The falling water converges on the ground, and because of the drop, it flows from a high place to a low place.

In places where there is a large difference in water flow, intelligent humans cut off the flow of water and build hydroelectric power stations to provide energy for the surrounding human gathering areas.

And in addition to the flow of water,

The sun's irradiation in different regions produces areas with different temperatures, and different temperatures lead to different atmospheric pressures.

The flow of air goes from high pressure to low pressure, from which the wind is also generated,

Human beings use the power of the wind to generate energy for themselves.

And these processes are all part of the water vapor cycle.

What surprised Yang Meng was that

It took hundreds of millions of years for the people of Rutan to bring most of the water resources on Planet B underground, controlling the water vapor cycle underground.

Build the entire planet into a wind-powered, hydroelectric power station.

"So that's where their energy comes from!"

At this time, Yang Meng thought of the virtual illusions he had experienced at the beginning, and he suddenly understood where the energy that supported the virtual illusions came from.

also thought of the strange buildings he saw underground,

And the ice-covered complex that I saw just out of the ground and came to the surface, these are all related to the entire ring energy system on the planet Rutan B.

Hearing Xiaoguang explain this,

Yang Meng was a little reluctant to leave Planet Lutan B,

Although it took hundreds of millions of years for the Rutans to build this massive system, it is a dispensable technology for humans who have already mastered controlled nuclear fusion technology.

But there are still human noteworthy aspects of applied science applied to this huge siege.

For example,

What kind of intelligent system can ensure the cyclical state of the entire planet and maintain normal operation,

You know, in the past period of time,

Because of the backwardness of computer simulation systems, that is, the use of supercomputers to simulate atmospheric circulation,

The weather forecast that can be simulated still has a certain forecast error.

One can imagine the terrifying computing power required to control the water vapor cycle of the entire planet.

"What computer system can do this?"

Thinking of this question, Yang Meng looked at the small light that kept flickering there.
