Chapter 395: The Melting Pot of Matter
The further you go to the depths of the moon, the larger the guest rooms and the closer the furnishings are to nature.
Obviously, as a hotel in the form of a 'resort', it does not focus on technological services, but pays more attention to the artistic and natural harmonious living environment.
"I've counted, there are exactly ninety-nine different styles of suites, and if each one represents a race's livable environment and style, wouldn't that mean that there are ninety-nine intelligent races in the galaxy?" said Fez.
Huang Ji said: "I'm afraid it's more than that. ”
As he spoke, he came to a smaller room, which did not look like a guest room.
The entire wall of the front is transparent, and inside is a pale cyan liquid.
In the middle of the room, there is a platform more than two meters high, with an operation screen on it, and Fez is wearing a mecha, just high enough to see.
Huang Ji's body soared into the air, flying with the help of the anti-gravity of the colony, looking down on the screen.
"It's ...... Build a human machine!" Fez, after a little study, realized what it was.
I saw that a three-dimensional pinching game can be controlled manually or brainwave input on the screen, and even scan and access!
Fez controlled the Silver Wing mecha, scanned it, and directly entered a virtual creation space through the mecha's somatosensory module.
There he can create man through his own imagination or according to the template provided by the program itself.
The avatar can be observed and touched face-to-face, and the details can be adjusted from all angles.
Even a pore, or a dimple on a fingernail, can be finely adjusted.
Of course, this function can be realized by Huang Ji's Buddha bones, he can just compile a similar program by himself, what the Buddha bones lack is such a detailed database.
But obviously, this must be more than just a game, otherwise there is no need to occupy a separate room.
Combined with the huge pool of cyan liquid in front of him, Fezchai can guess that the people who are pinched out through this game can really be made!
"So many races!" Fez, looking through the human-making template, couldn't read the text, but the operation itself was simple.
In addition to customization, the program also allows you to select templates directly from the ethnic library and fine-tune them.
Huang Ji is proficient in interstellar writing, and introduced: "This item is race, here is sexual characteristics, and here is generational ......"
"What do you mean?" Fez, expanding on this item, discovering that they were all different forms of the same race.
Huang Ji said: "In fact, it is the different stages of human evolution. We humans are also divided into Australopithecus, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens, and our higher wisdom is from early Homo sapiens to late Homo sapiens. ”
"And I've made myself a perfect human through drug modification, and this is a whole new generation of human race. ”
Fez nodded in understanding, flipping through the array of racial templates, including humanoids, insects, and disgusting creatures like oozing slime.
"What's in the introduction?" Fez asked.
Huang Ji flipped through for a while and said: "There are more than a thousand intelligent races, which can be seen from the image, and can be divided into six categories. ”
"In layman's terms, it's the notochord, arthropods, molluscs, cnids, fungi, and plants. ”
Fez: "It's all on Earth?"
Huang Ji smiled: "It's just like that, the form of the carbon-based intelligent race is basically just these six appearances, and everything is the same. For example, the little gray people, birdmen, dragons, and us earthlings are all humanoids in the notochord form. Of course, it is easy for you to understand when you say humanoid, and the strict name should be 'too Weihua', which means 'Andromeda human'. ”
"Andromeda here refers to the Great Andromeda Nebula, which is two million light-years away from the Milky Way, and is the largest galaxy in the group. ”
"The humanoid race there is the standard concept of 'human form'. ”
Fez sighed, the so-called name of the human form is just a self-centered name, and in the large society of the universe, the race that is qualified to unify a similar image name must be an extremely powerful race.
He continued to look through it and said, "Is it only carbon-based?"
Huang Ji said: "Carbon-based is the most common, and there must be other forms of life in the universe, but they should be rare. ”
Fez hummed, and then found Birdman in the race section.
The bird has a human head, is three meters tall, has gorgeous and glowing plumage, and large and sharp wings.
The light is so dazzling that it looks like a light person.
"Here you can adjust the viewport, which is the visible range. Huang Ji guided.
I saw that under Huang Ji's adjustment, the image of the template suddenly became clear and three-dimensional, and Fez saw the details of the birdman's body clearly, becoming white-haired and blue-eyed, with blue light wings.
"The birdman body of the civilization of light can reflect all light with a wavelength longer than ultraviolet rays, and the visible light range of the human eye is too small, unless the birdman restricts its own energy, otherwise humans look at them just like a dazzling ball of light. ”
Fez was puzzled: "Is it really a birdman of the civilization of light? Why can you make it? What's going on? Isn't it illegal?"
Huang Ji smiled: "Do you really think that this is the original creature? This is just asking you to design the image of a simulated robot." ”
"Just because you build a dinosaur doll doesn't mean you actually built a dinosaur. ”
Fez knew that this was not a human-making device, but really just a pinching of dolls.
Even though the image is fake and real, it is only a robot inside, and its interstellar nature is about equivalent to a high-fidelity intelligent physical doll, which simulates the texture with special simulation materials.
"What's popping up?" Fez, borrowing an alien template, tweaked it at random, edited a mermaid, and after confirming it, the interface was obscured by a 'crop circle'-like pattern.
Huang Ji said with a smile: "This is a charging item, and the balance on the diss account you use is insufficient." ”
Fez smiled dumbly, he didn't expect this to be a paid item.
He complained: "Des has no money?"
Huang Ji said: "Before he went down to earth, all the money was used to buy the genetic samples of the Firebird Man. ”
"Didn't you hack the lunar system? You can't get this 'claw machine'?" Fez asked.
Huang Ji said: "It's useless for me to invade it, if it wants to create things, it must go through financial transactions and be certified by Galaxy Bank." ”
"And once the internet is disconnected, the machine can't run and nothing can be built. ”
"However, if the network is maintained, no one can bypass the authentication system of Galaxy Bank, because the credit data of virtual finance coexists in all networked units. If you want to tamper with financial data, unless you hack all the consumption units associated with Galaxy Bank at the same time, as long as one of them slips through the net, it will inevitably be discovered. ”
Fez said regretfully: "How much does it cost to build an alien simulator?"
Huang Ji said with a smile while browsing: "It's hard to say, the cheap ones are only fifty pieces, I mean fifty sage stones." The expensive one is three million, which is equivalent to 40,000 kilograms of antimatter. ”
"At least the most expensive machine that can be built is three million, and there should be more expensive ones in the galaxy. ”
Fez was puzzled: "Dummies are worth 40,000 kilograms of antimatter? Doesn't it mean that the more real and natural it is, the more valuable it is? A pure human is only 120 kilograms." ”
Huang Ji said: "Simulated robots are not for food! their functionality, sophistication, and the materials and ethnic image will affect the price." ”
"The price of different races is different, after all, the image of race is very important, and if people make it casually, they will inevitably charge an image patent fee. ”
"Some races have small profits and quick turnover, and some races want to build, they can, but it's very expensive. Others don't sell the copyright at all, you see the dragons, there are no templates for them here. ”
"And the simulation machine of the earth's species, you can build it here, and you don't need money at all in terms of image......"
Fez thinks about it, no matter how expensive the ingredients are, they can't be more expensive than a car.
A simulation robot worth three million can't be a vase, it must be loaded with a lot of functions, and the materials must be expensive.
Huang Ji continued: "In turn, it also shows that there are many precious materials in the warehouse of the lunar base. ”
Fez's eyes lit up and said, "I saw it, the warehouse is down there." ”
Then he frowned again and said, "But the permission of the emperor can't be opened, you can try." ”
Huang Ji quickly opened the door of the warehouse, and the two of them went in to find that it was not a pile of materials, but only a huge black ball.
"This black ball is a synthesis factory with a subtlety at the picometer level. It can be operated on a microscale of minus 10 meters and is a thousand times more microscopic than the best nanofabrication facilities. Huang Ji said.
Fez asked, "All the materials are in there?"
"No......" Huang Ji nodded under his feet, and suddenly the floor unfolded with a bang, revealing a huge cylinder abyss with a diameter of four hundred meters below, and there were blue light, red light, and all kinds of dim dust rolling and roaring in the abyss.
They illuminate the entire cylinder abyss, making it feel like you're in the mouth of a huge hellish furnace!
Fez was startled and hurriedly flew steadily.
"That's ...... Interstellar dust?" Fez, uncertain.
Huang Ji said: "Yes, if a massive star explodes, it will release a large cloud of dust of such matter. ”
"There are about 80 billion tons of high-energy dust clouds hidden in the moon, which are suppressed under the warehouse by force field constraints. ”
"The reason for this is that this cloud of matter in an excited state under high-energy motion is the most convenient way to create things. Whether it's element conversion or material synthesis, it's much simpler. ”
Fez said, "Is it easy? Why do I feel more troublesome to prepare such a large cloud of high-energy dust and keep it restrained all the time?"
Huang Ji said with a smile: "The steam train has to keep adding coal to it, and it is even more bloated, compared with modern trains, who do you say is simpler?"
Fez stopped talking.
Huang Ji continued: "The more portable it is, the more complex it is, this is not a high-level picometer factory, it needs to operate in a high-energy environment. ”
"But in front of us, this is already a very high-end technology, there is no need for material reserves, just find a cloud of high-energy interstellar dust, which can produce all kinds of elements and make all kinds of composite materials. ”
"Although it costs extra to build it here, to restrain the dust cloud, and to keep it from cooling. ”
"But it can't stand it, the material is cheap. There are countless such clouds of dust in the universe, and I mean a cluster of stars that contains countless such substances. ”
"Only civilizations whose technology is still at the nanometer level still need to mine on planets. In the eyes of civilizations in the atomic age, the universe is full of resources. ”
