Chapter 100 Mars Terraforming Completed, Antimatter Core
With the end of the war in the Emerald Galaxy of the Terminator World, all the warships returned to their respective worlds.
Fang Heng returned to the main world and learned about the progress made during this period through Ethan's report.
"Commander, according to statistics, after this period of reckless capacity expansion, the Terminator world, Elysium world, and the main world have now established a complete warship manufacturing system. Under the maximum capacity, the warship production capacity can produce 30,000 frigates every three months and 3,000 destroyers every six months."
However, while our production capacity is sufficient, we lack the manpower to operate the warships, a problem that cannot be solved in a short time. Therefore, it will take some time before we can truly achieve combat readiness.
"I understand that too. It's because biotechnology isn't advanced enough. There's always a difference between clones and natural humans. Only clones that have undergone secondary enhancement can reach 90% of the thinking of a normal human. Only specially made clones can have the thinking of a normal human. Mass-produced clones still have defects."
In the movie, both Alice and Isaac are clones, but they appear to behave much like normal people.
However, the truth is that these clones are specially made, and the process of nurturing them involves a ten-month gestation period.
Furthermore, after the nurturing process is complete, they start as infants and gradually grow up. During this process, their growth rate is faster than others, and they can become adults in a shorter time.
Once an individual reaches adulthood, their growth rate will synchronize with their physical development and will no longer accelerate.
However, such cultivation requires a lot of resources, and it is unnecessary to do so when there are natural people involved.
"By the way, now that the war is over, let's continue with normal development as before. The bio-world's incubation facilities should be fully established by now, right?"
"It's all set up, new spores have been sent over, and new experiments are underway."
"Well, although the bio-destroyers didn't see combat this time, those that were manufactured don't need to be recycled for now. They can be retained. The design and manufacture of the fully-fledged bio-destroyers should be completed as soon as possible."
"Yes, Commander."
After everything was settled, the days that followed were very peaceful, and the power structure of the main world was completely stable. Dongda University was the only dominant force, standing aloof and watching the US and Russia bicker.
Besides accelerating the transformation of Black Continent, Star Group is mainly focusing its efforts on the transformation of Mars.
At this time, the original Huangshan landscape on the surface of Mars has been covered in green, and this green is still expanding. Judging from the speed of its spread, it will only take a week to completely encircle the area.
This grass growing on the surface of Mars is already in its fifth cycle.
Inside the Martian space station, Fang Heng and Ethan arrived and met Jiang Ruolai, the person in charge.
"Mr. Fang, you've arrived."
"Hmm, how's the situation now?"
"Mr. Fang, after five rounds of sowing, the usable soil layer beneath the Martian soil has reached a depth of 5 meters. Next, we will plant shrubs, and this will continue for 10 rounds until the entire 50-meter depth underground has been transformed. Then we can proceed with the final planting of fast-growing trees."
"Yes, keep up the current pace. We also need to choose good locations for planting the fast-growing trees. Has the construction site for Origin City been chosen?"
"We've already chosen a location over the Grand Canyon, where there's a large river that can meet the city's water needs."
As the projection unfolded, Fang Heng also saw the final schematic diagram of Origin City.
Although Mars is smaller than Earth, it is still a planet.
After the Mars terraforming project, its topography has undergone tremendous changes. Only part of the original canyon remains, and at the source, a large mountain with thick snow has appeared. The remaining canyon has become the channel of a large river, which continuously deposits water into the newly formed sea.
This ocean on Mars is named Oceanus Source, and the entire ocean is a freshwater ocean.
If we want this ocean to become like the one on Earth, it would require a long period of erosion to gradually increase the salinity of the seawater.
"Mr. Fang, the foundation work for Origin City has already begun. According to the current construction progress, the main structure is expected to be completed in a year. After another six months of decoration, the first phase of the project will be completed."
With Jiang Ruolai's explanation, Fang Heng quickly understood the overall plan.
"Alright, this matter is also entrusted to you. After Origin City is completed, the subsequent immigration work will begin as soon as possible, and the construction of the space elevator and star ring should also proceed simultaneously."
"Yes, Mr. Fang."
The terraforming of Mars is a very large project. Jiang Ruolai is an SS-level talent with potential, and he is also skilled in internal affairs, so Fang Heng has high hopes for him.
However, he was still young, so in order to help him grow quickly, Fang Heng appointed him as the chief person in charge of the Mars terraforming project, with various sub-project leaders assisting him.
Fortunately, Jiang Ruo was also very hardworking, so in just six months, he became proficient in the entire Mars terraforming project, and the heads of the various sub-projects all admired him.
This is a situation that Fang Heng is very happy to see.
There will be many planetary transformation projects in the future. After Jiang Ruolai grows up, he can mentor newcomers and quickly cultivate a large number of capable talents. At that time, his sphere of influence will also expand rapidly.
After checking on the progress of the Mars terraforming project, Fang Heng once again entered his leisure time.
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, the main world's blue planet has also undergone tremendous changes.
First, regarding the University of Tokyo, with the completion of Lunar Base 3, the university now has three permanent research bases on the moon. Base 4, which is currently under construction, is a lunar factory specifically designed to collect helium-3 and other metal resources to support the university.
Meanwhile, during these two years, the University of Tokyo's Crescent Bird II and Crescent Bird III were also put into service. The existence of the three Crescent Birds left all countries in despair.
In fact, in the eyes of these countries, Dongda is a much greater threat than Xingchen Group.
After all, Xingchen Group is a company and has made it clear that it will not participate in the struggle for supremacy, but will only develop its own business.
Of course, if anyone tries to stop me from selling my products, I'll turn them into commodities. That's why other countries don't dare offend the Star Group. The technological gap prevents them from having any desire to resist.
Many countries have the illusion that they can catch up with the University of Tokyo if they work hard.
But the appearance of the three curved birds shattered all illusions, causing these countries great pain.
Fang Heng didn't pay much attention to these things. He no longer cared much about Blue Star. At most, he would pay attention to how the population plan implemented in Black Continent was going.
Although Black Continent is considered the core of the Star Group, once the Mars terraforming is completed and most of the personnel begin to immigrate, the Star Group will become a full-fledged interstellar corporation, doing business across the vast universe.
Inside the Mars space station, Fang Heng stood in front of the suspended window, gazing at the lush green planet below, lost in thought.
"Mr. Fang, the terraforming of Mars is now complete. The atmospheric structure is similar to that of Earth, the oxygen content is up to standard, the planet's gravity is normal, and it has all the necessary terrain features, including forests, lakes, rivers, plains, oceans, and mountains. The planet's internal climate cycle is also perfected. Mars is now a miniature Earth."
"Well done! This gives us humans a second home."
Looking at the planetary data on the projection, Fang Heng was very satisfied; this was what a qualified habitable planet should be.
How is the immigration plan progressing?
"Currently, Origin City has 10 residents, mainly soldiers, scientists, engineers, medical personnel, etc. There are no repetitive laborers."
"Yes, low-level, repetitive, and labor-intensive industries should all be handled by intelligent machines. Human creativity is very powerful, and we must make good use of this to enable technological advancement."
Looking at the beautiful Mars, Fang Heng, led by Jiang Ruolai, entered the atmosphere and began to tour Mars as it is now.
A month later, after taking a general tour of Mars, Fang Heng returned to Earth satisfied.
Before a week had passed, Fang Heng, who was still reading in his study, received a report from Ethan.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Enter!"
"Ethan, what's wrong?"
"Commander, the latest news from the Pluto experimental base: the antimatter energy technology has achieved a breakthrough. The first prototype has undergone a brief test and, after confirming there are no problems, is ready for its first long-term test."
"Oh? I didn't expect you to have already figured it out. Not bad. When do you plan to start?"
"The experiment is planned to be conducted in two weeks, and this is to apply for permission to conduct the experiment at that time."
"Agreed. Tell them to be careful; antimatter does have some dangers."
"Yes, Commander."
Half a month passed very quickly. Without Ethan reminding him, Fang Heng turned on the remote video to watch the experiment in real time.
On Pluto, a large number of researchers were gathered in the experimental command center located in orbit.
Because of the inherent risks involved in this experiment, the command center was placed in outer space for safety reasons, while the actual experimental operations were carried out by robots.
Time passed by, and the once noisy command center gradually quieted down. Everyone methodically checked whether their final preparations were complete.
As each system reported its preparations, under Fang Heng's watchful eye, the person in charge on site officially announced the start of the experiment.
