Chapter 105: The foundation of science and technology has been established
Will, who returned to the real world, did not make a scientific investigation this time, but chose to study the industrial revolution of mankind.
Now Will finds that he needs to put a lot of time and energy into the Purple Cloud Star. Because where he found some physical rules that went beyond the existing earth sciences, and even some that for it simply broke through the existing understanding.
Will hopes that he can set up a science laboratory on Purple Cloud that he controls, but that would require too much complexity. Both manpower and materials are a big problem, so in order to save time it needs to plan a plan. Due to a non-disclosure agreement, this project can only be completed by himself.
This was a bit distressing for Will, because the development of science was based on a complex whole. It is an extremely complicated thing to separate from it at any time, and the production of some materials, instruments and equipment alone requires a huge production chain. Rather than a simple few people are able to do things.
Will first developed a plan to build a huge underground city, and then he decided to use his psychic link to create a lot of highly intelligent beasts with this skill. Then through these alien beasts, he will help him build a scientific research army of highly intelligent alien beasts, and then he can complete the replenishment of human resources through these alien beasts.
In this way, as long as he solves problems with materials and equipment, he can create a simple scientific base. Then it gradually expanded, forming a scientific city-state or even a scientific empire.
Will's biggest advantage is that he can constantly return to the gap between reality and Purple Cloud. If there is a problem that cannot be solved, he can also find a solution through the side of the earth.
In this way, after some careful planning, Will logged in to the Purple Cloud Star again, and this time when Will logged in again, he was surprised to find that all ten beetles had advanced to the dark red pattern like Storth. Seeing this, Will happily checked the memories of these beetles. He noticed that the beetles had begun to shed their shells after eating some dark red stones, and then they began to shed their shells en masse. After shedding their shells, these beetles all have this dark red pattern, and their size has become significantly larger.
Will was very satisfied with this, if these beetles could advance by devouring these dark red hedrons with special energy. Then he can quickly form an army of highly intelligent little beetles.
The number of beetles is important to Will, but the intelligence of the beetles is even more important to Will.
One by one, the giant beetles noticed Will's arrival, and they began to relay messages to Will. Will was so troubled by this information that he ordered them to be quiet.
After calming the giant beetles, Will led them to the bottom of the many hedron pillars. There they found a lot of these fast-growing weeds, and they studied the reason for the rapid growth of these grasses. Will also excavated a large amount of hedron and brought it back.
Will planted the weeds in a cave by the waterhole, which had an abundance of water. And put all the herbs and spars in this stone cave, during which it was found that these grasses and spars can actually fluoresce in the dark environment. And the fluorescence of the spar is very bright, which can play a role in illumination.
After temporarily emptying the inlet of water, Will began to let the beetles expand the space in the cave to facilitate the cultivation of grass.
Will then has the beetle smash the gravel into simple stone dust, which can be mixed with small stones. Grass is then planted on top of it, and water is then diverted into the cave for irrigation. In this way, Will was given a large cave to plant different grasses.
I don't know if this will work, but Will feels that he has to give it a try, and the results will not come out until tomorrow.
A beetle was sent to guard the area, and Will and the others began to return to the cave where the ore was mined. The dark red stone and iron ore had accumulated in the area, and the beetles had carved out many rooms inside the cavern. Apparently meant to rest, these beetles seem to have learned some human habits.
And these beetles have become fond of moving in a light-sourced environment, and their cave rooms will have some strange glowing stones. Will had not seen the stones before, and through communication, it was known that they had been found in the cavern underneath while mining. Because they could provide a light source, the beetles collected the stones and used them as ore for lighting.
Will discovered the ores he hadn't seen before, and he wasn't even sure what they were. However, these crystals that can emit milky white light can indeed provide them with a lot of convenience, but the number is a little rare.
Will checked the cavity, which had been dug very deep. And look at it like there are already three floors, and there are also cases of digging down.
This vein of iron ore spreads underground, and the further underground the ore goes, the harder it becomes, and the higher the content of dark red stone grains. During the excavation, they also found that all kinds of strange hedras would be excavated one after another, except for the glowing hedrons, and some other hedrons were stored in a stone chamber where the iron ore was placed.
Will was also curious, but what Will was most concerned about the outpouring of these iron ores at the moment. He began to use the dark red stone's ability to lower the melting point of iron ore to make some simple iron tools, starting with weapons.
Will tells the beetles to start making a stone mold according to the drawings he made, and then heat the iron ore and dark red hedrons. The simple method of allowing the outgoing iron ore solution to gather in the mold and wait for it to cool was unusually successful. A hammer was made, and Will was overjoyed when he looked at the first tool he had made.
The good news soon followed, as the grass planted by the waterhole showed signs of growth shortly after it had been irrigated. And the grass grows very quickly, and at this moment they are twice as big as when they were first brought back. These strange grasses and plants seem to burst into unprecedented vitality under the continuous nourishment of the water source.
When Will received the good news, he immediately rushed to the cave by the waterhole, and he found that the grasses began to spread rapidly on the rock powder and gravel, and then began to absorb the nutrients and water in the stone powder. It began to grow like crazy, and it is still growing until now.
This surprised Will, as it seemed that these weeds did not need the sun's photosynthesis.
The beetles were excited to look at the long, fat blades of grass, for they were already a little hungry after a day's work. Plus, these weeds are really delicious like they've never seen before.
Will plucked some blades of grass for the two beetles to eat, even though there were enough blades of grass to fill the stomachs of all the beetles. But what needs to be determined now is whether these plants will be able to be a safe and reliable source of food as they grow larger.
Once the plants were able to grow more vigorously and everything was decided, Will decided to expand the space enough to make it bigger. so that adequate food can be provided.
Will re-planned his next steps, shifting his focus to growing food.
And Will redesigned a huge planting cave, which reopened a huge space behind the original cave. There is a small waterway in it, as well as a main road and many auxiliary roads. In order to facilitate the movement of beetles, it looks like a modern out-of-season Roc feeling. These plants can release oxygen, which in turn can provide oxygen for the beetles to stay overnight in the cave.
The new project was huge, and all the beetles were involved. The gravel from the excavation of the planting base even formed a circle around the waterhole.
With the continuous efforts of Will and the beetles, a large planting base was gradually formed, and the planting plots were divided into regular patterns like squares on a chessboard. The rational irrigation system allows the water here to be used to the fullest, and the restricted planting base for the water source can only be so large.
During this time, Will found that the speed of the alien grass growing on the side without the iridescent hedron was much slower. This made Will feel a little strange, but he was limited by the lack of time and tools to study. Will couldn't delve deeper into the rationale.
At this time, he had completed two important things: the construction of the food base and the manufacture of basic tools. It's just that due to limitations, he can't use more time and manpower to build more infrastructure.
At this point, the question of food sources has been basically solved.
Another big discovery made the sensation unusually excited, after Will swallowed some dark red stone grains. He didn't notice any more special effects, or any side effects, other than feeling clearer.
Will boldly swallowed some of the stone grains that had been purified into red crystals, and then he found that his changes were noticeably different from those of the beetles. He found that after a period of heat in his body, he did not have that red pattern. Maybe there was something he didn't know about, his body didn't change. However, his spirit has become extremely clear, and even the range of acceptance of the spiritual links he can establish with the beetles has become significantly larger.
This made Will feel very happy, because the purification of these dark red stone grains could help him increase his mental strength. In this way, he can use the spirit link and have more Beetle Followers.
Although he didn't know why this dark red stone had such a magical effect, Will felt that these stone grains seemed to contain a unique energy. This energy can promote the potential of living beings, and even the potential of some iron elements is likely to be triggered by this spar to have a low melting point.
Will named the hedron Erythrite, and named the refined Erythrite Erythrite.
In this way, Will continued to ambush the surrounding beetles under the promotion of a large number of red gravel, and the germ of technology began to take root in Ziyun Star in the continuous growth of Will and these beetles. And it will bloom in the years to come.
(Will's subplot is almost over at this point, and the three storylines are a bit too nerve-wracking.) Later, I will briefly explain Daowu's base, and then fully describe the story line of the protagonist Zhang Wei. This is all for the foreshadowing of the future, but now it seems that this foreshadowing takes up a bit too long. Even some book friends can't tell which one is the main character!)
