Chapter 678 Transformation Ceremony

After having a child, Mr. Liu didn't feel much more relaxed. The four children cried one after another at night, tortured him and his wives to death. Even if his mother helped him, it would be useless.

During the day, he still has to be busy with work, especially the construction of Mars, and there are many things that require him to make up.

Itti launched a probe to Mars six months ago and began to change the Mars magnetic field. It is not unreasonable that Mars is called the most suitable planet for human colonization. First of all, its rotation time is extremely close to that of the Earth, about 24 hours; secondly, its gravity is twice as high as the moon, and it is currently about 38% of the Earth. Although it is still not high enough, it is at least much better than the moon.

The most important point is that there is water on Mars. Although it is not liquid water, the soil contains enough water content of 3%. There are ice crowns and water ice in the North and South Poles. This is a big and small miracle for a desert planet.

The disadvantages of Mars are also obvious. The main disadvantage is that the atmospheric pressure is not high enough, only 6 millibars, which is far from reaching the Armstrong limit of 61.8 millibars. Only fixed pressure amplification devices can be used, and not only in aircraft, any Martian buildings and outdoor activities must also be equipped.

The so-called Armstrong limit is an aerospace term, which means that at this specific altitude, the boiling point of water is also lowered to close to human body temperature (37 degrees Celsius) due to the low air pressure around it (0.0618 atmospheric pressure). If humans exceed this height without any pressurization measures, including tears, saliva, water in the eyeballs and body fluids that keep alveolar wet will boil and evaporate and lose in a very short time, resulting in the inability to exchange oxygen in the lungs and suffocate.

Most animals and plants cannot survive in the extreme environment of Mars, except for certain microorganisms. Therefore, if you want to colonize Mars, the first step is to improve the environment of Mars. At least, you cannot let the temperature of more than minus 80 degrees Celsius often appear, so that humans will not be able to engage in outdoor activities on Mars.

There are many ways to improve Mars. Even Earth scientists have listed several solutions, some of which are completely impossible to do with current scientific and technological levels, such as changing the orbit of Mars with planetary engines. The easiest way is to build a huge mirror surface outside the Martian sphere to reflect sunlight, increase the temperature of the Martian surface, turn solid water into liquid, and then add coal ash or algae to the ice to improve its absorption rate.

But the problem with this is that even if the capacity of liquid water is increased, due to Martian atmosphere and gravity, if the temperature is not maintained continuously, the liquid water will gradually return to the solid state and dissipate in the atmosphere. The super giant mirror surfaces are very fragile. It is very likely that a slight twist or collision can be destroyed.

Yiti's solution was an idea proposed by a certain earth scientist, which was to increase the magnetic field strength of Mars. This method can be regarded as cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot and increasing the magnetic field strength of Mars. First, it increases gravity, making it more suitable for human habitation. After all, humans do not have enough knowledge to avoid health problems related to gravity.

Secondly, the atmospheric pressure is increased, avoiding the trouble of installing a booster device everywhere. Finally, the enhanced magnetic field can absorb more atmospheres, allowing you to take the opportunity to adjust the atmospheric structure of Mars, reduce the content of carbon dioxide, increase oxygen and other gases, so that it can be suitable for human breathing, at least without wearing a breathing mask.

The enhanced atmosphere can help Mars resist more space radiation and harmful rays, making the surface environment more reasonable. The temperature difference will become smaller, not like some areas where 28 degrees during the day and minus 80 degrees at night. The improved surface environment can help more animals and plants survive, and only some minor transformations are required to adapt.

In addition, when microorganisms and modified algae are used simultaneously to transform the Martian surface, desertification can gradually turn into soil in the presence of liquid water. After solidifying the soil, the scope of the colony will be gradually expanded and the surface will be continuously transformed by algae and microorganisms. This process may take many years.

However, Yiti's temporary goal is to increase the magnetic field and build a large base, and initially establish a self-sufficiency industrial system. Using the reasonable configuration of the three bases, it believes that the entire process may take two years. After two years, the Mars base can have sufficient self-protection strength and strong production capacity.

The moss and cyanobacteria carried by the first probe launched by Itti grew smoothly after Mars settled. Even in such a harsh environment, moss and cyanobacteria can expand in large quantities, which must be due to the moisture in Martian soil.

Changing the magnetic field of a planet is a complicated task, and even Itti cannot complete it quickly, so it plans to spend three months to carefully survey the operation of the Martian magnetic field, and then carry out a half-year transformation. During this period, the construction of the Mars base will not stop, and all robots will be used to operate remotely, and there will be no impact on the progress.

The collection of materials on the earth has gradually stopped, and the large amount of purchases in the early stage must have caused some doubts. The current collection of lunar bases is progressing well. Except for some materials that are not available on the moon or are inconvenient to collect, most of the materials are no longer required to be purchased on the earth.

Three months later, the Titanium Star was completely repaired, and Lin Lin's body was also catalyzed, and the next was her transformation ceremony.

Only Liu Jinpeng participated in Lin Lin's transformation ceremony. Eva and Lin Lin both connected to the quantum network. Their machine bodies were quietly stopped aside, as if they were dead, which made Liu Jinpeng feel a little horrified.

The blue light curtain flowed down from the cemetery like a water curtain, and Eti's voice sounded from all around: "The conversion ceremony is about to begin, with a conversion rate of 87.7%, and a secondary conversion rate of 99.7%.

The conversion rate is Lin Lin's success rate. If she fails and is cleared, then Eva will be the second conversion. This time the success rate will be very high, which is basically foolproof.

Lin Lin's voice came from the void: "Your Excellency, please remember my name. If I fail, remember to fulfill your promise."

Liu Jinpeng whispered: "You won't fail, I'll wait for you here."

Yiti's voice sounded: "Conversion is ready to begin, countdown, 9, 8, 7, 6..."

As the timing approached, Liu Jinpeng felt more and more nervous. He sat in the anti-gravity chair, crossed his hands and rubbed his thumbs with each other, as if this could reduce his tension.

The countdown ends.

There were large changes on the blue light curtain, and various incomprehensible symbols flowed down quickly.

In the glass groove behind the blue light curtain, a body that looked not very different from the women on earth was lying in the nutrient solution. From the body, she looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. The only difference from the people on earth was that she had light blue hair and a pair of pointed ears.

At this moment, her body suddenly twitched slightly, and her face also showed a look of pain.

Yiti's voice prompted: "8% of the transformation process, and the target has an unexplained rejection reaction."

Liu Jinpeng became even more nervous: "What's going on? Is it the survival reaction of the body?"

Yiti replied: "After emergency treatment, the condition of the body has stabilized, the wavelength has returned to normal, and the transformation has continued."

In the glass groove, the twitching of the body disappeared and the face returned to normal. But Liu Jinpeng was still very strange: "Didn't you say that the body has no consciousness?"

Yiti explained: "In fact, in addition to the brain, the Yilan tribe also has an emotional center. The function of this center is mainly to retain the genes she receives. Most Yilan tribes can keep this gene for a lifetime and have children anytime and anywhere as long as they have had spiritual friendships with their lovers. At present, this body is pure, and I don't know why the center has a repulsive reaction."

Liu Jinpeng asked: "What are the sequelae?"

"At present, there is no." Yiti's speech was also reserved. "This is the first time for me, and it is inevitable that there will be problems. However, I have anesthetized the center and she will not resist any more."

Liu Jinpeng asked with his lips pursed, "I still feel a little strange. In this way, isn't it difficult to explain clearly whether this body is her or Lin Lin?"

Eti replied: "This is a very interesting research topic for me. How far will Linlin and her fusion go, and whether the temperaments of the two will be fusion or conflicting, are unknown now."

"Hey," Liu Jinpeng was unhappy, "This is my wife, are you going to use my wife for an experiment?"

"Data collection is necessary, and no data cannot be improved for this situation." The old god of Yiti replied, "If there is enough data, even if Lin Lin has any problems, it can be transferred to a new body. I must remind you that the chips in her brain must be kept well. Before they are completely integrated, this chip is Lin Lin's body."

“What after the integration?”

"From now on, let's use it as a secondary brain. Her computing speed will be much faster than that of ordinary Yilan. You can treat her as a humanoid copy. Through the chip, she can also communicate with me, but she cannot conduct big data quantum transmission. Be careful, radiation of more than 50 million titanium star fractions can destroy the chip, but no weapons can be found that can achieve this output at the moment."

Before Liu Jinpeng could speak, Yiti reminded: "A conversion is completed, congratulations."

It turned out that as the two of them were talking, the blue light curtain had gradually disappeared, but the girl in the glass groove had not yet opened her eyes.

Liu Jinpeng stood up and walked to the groove, waiting nervously for the moment when Lin Lin opened his eyes. (To be continued...)
