Super Dimension Technology Era

After the discovery of two dark matter chimeras, "thermal energy crystal" and "dragon armor", on Jupiter.

The exploration work has not stopped. The ocean, which occupies most of the area of ​​Jupiter, is the area where organisms gather.

No in-depth investigations have been conducted in these oceans.

Five researchers, Pang Panghai and Jiang Zhiren, ran back and forth between the Ice Mars Hulk Observation Station and the Arbor Star Vinenet Island Observation Station. Fortunately, they could work through a stand-in robot, otherwise they wouldn't be able to bear the hassle.

The Science and Technology Commission has approved the application for the establishment of a "Dark Matter Chimera Research Institute" by the Institute of Life Sciences. The head of this research institute is Pang Pang. In addition, Huang Fan, Jiang Zhiren and other scientific researchers will also participate in research from time to time.

The Dark Matter Chimera Institute is headquartered in the Arbor satellite city of Arbor, while Ice Mars maintains the status quo.

It is set up on Qiao Jupiter because the Tianya system is the seed base of civilization. The wormhole channel will be closed soon and it will enter a state of silent dormancy. There is no need for new humans in the Tianya system to contact Blue Star.

Pang Panghai and others took the Kunpeng-class transport ship to the planet Qiao through the wormhole, while using stand-in robots to work in both places.

At the observation station near Vinenet Island, news came back that the sixth dark matter chimera had been discovered.

A submarine entered the underwater dock of the observatory from the bottom of the sea. The submarine was transporting a batch of plants, and dark matter chimera-6 was inside these plants.

The submarine works fully automatically. The robot transports boxes of storage boxes one meter long, one meter wide and high from the submarine cabin and then transports them to the laboratory.

…

Jiang Zhiren saw the contents inside the storage box through the transparent observation window of the storage box.

In fact, the shape of these "plants" is very strange. They can fly and look very similar to octopuses.

During the day when there is sufficient sunlight, they produce hydrogen gas, and their bodies expand like a balloon, allowing them to float near the stratosphere and continuously absorb solar energy.

At night or during the dark winter period, they will deflate and return to the ocean, taking root deep in the seabed. Unless they encounter danger, they will no longer activate the "balloon" state.

The exploration team named this plant "Octopus Balloon Tree". Although it is not large when stored in a box, once it activates the "balloon" state, its volume will expand 30 times.

To avoid irritating the octopus balloon tree into ballooning, the storage box reduces the amount of outside light.

Jiang Naoto manipulated the nanorobot with ease and extracted some liquid from the "lungs" of the octopus balloon tree. This is the secret of the octopus balloon tree turning into a balloon.

Dark Matter Chimera-6 can split water to produce oxygen and hydrogen, with oxygen being emitted directly and hydrogen being stored in air bags.

"Naoto, I discovered something."

Huh? Jiang Naoren put the extracted tissue fluid aside and asked, "What did you find?"

"I compared the positive matter molecular structures of dark matter chimeras 1 to 6 to see if there are any patterns." Pang Panghai said while projecting the six molecular formulas into the air.

On the virtual light screen, from left to right are "life source substance", "soul poison substance", "radiant substance", "thermal energy crystal", "dragon armor substance" and "hydrogenase substance".

Pattern? Jiang Naoren observed carefully, but after racking his brains, he still couldn't find any pattern.

"Let me remind you, chemical bonds and complementarity."

Chemical bond? Complementarity? Hmm? Jiang Naoto carefully observed the molecular formulas one by one. While watching, he marked some things on the molecular formulas.

These molecular formulas seem to be irregular, ranging from a few hundred atoms to tens of thousands of molecules, but they have one thing in common, which is the lack of chemical bonds.

"I see, the formulas are missing some chemical bonds, and..."

Pang Panghai went on to explain: “These missing chemical bond positions are actually occupied by dark matter.”

He listed the dark matter mass and the number of missing chemical bonds of the six dark matter chimeras, and the two immediately showed an exact positive correlation.

"In addition, I also found that dark matter only combines with the chemical bonds of sodium, phosphorus, and zinc atoms."

After reading the data one by one, Jiang Naoren raised his head and said with a smile: "It seems you have made a big discovery."

"It's still early! Unless we can gain insight into the principle of the combination of dark matter and positive matter, that will be a truly great discovery." Peng Dahai was not too happy.

"Since there are so many kinds of dark matter chimeras, sooner or later we can study the patterns among them."

"By the way, good news just came from the Space Exploration Center."

Jiang Zhiren's eyes lit up: "Have you discovered a living planet again?"

Pang Panghai nodded: "A planet with life was discovered in a star system about 113.7 light years away from the solar system."

"Then maybe we can find new dark matter chimeras."

But Pang Panghai shook his head: "I guess there is little hope."

"Why do you say that?"

"You'll know just by looking at it." After saying that, he shared the briefing on the situation of the Space Communication Center with Jiang Zhiren.

On the virtual display screen, the situation about the living planet appeared in front of him, and soon Jiang Zhiren frowned.

After reading it, he sighed: "It's so similar to the former Blue Star. If you don't do it, you won't die."

"Now you know why I gave up hope."

"How lucky it is that new humans can walk out of Blue Star." Jiang Zhiren sighed.

For civilizations that have not left their home planet, the biggest enemy is often not aliens, but themselves.

This is a truth that new humans only understand after they step out of Blue Star.

Humanity has been seeking death in various ways during the AD era. If it cannot enter the interstellar era before 2050, even if there are no lizard people acting as monsters, human society will collapse and regress on its own. Barbarism and ignorance will eventually eliminate civilization and wisdom.

This is the "entropy increase" effect of society, that is, the entropy increase in the civilization stage. In a civilization, no matter which stage it is in, whether it is a native civilization, a primary civilization, or an advanced civilization, it also applies.

When a civilization reaches the peak of this stage of development, there are only two ways to go, either to go back or to break through the limit.

Taking the feudal dynasty as an example, why can't a dynasty survive for 300 years? It's because the resources of the "pond" can no longer satisfy the survival of fish. They either kill each other or dig the gates to the river.

If capital industrial civilization is the feudal civilization entering the river from the pond, then the progress from capital industrial civilization to interstellar civilization is from the river to the sea.

Once the river cannot enter the sea, and the fish in the river multiply rapidly, the consequences will be a self-destructive regression of civilization.

This law applies to civilization at any stage.

Even the Reaper civilization, if they cannot transcend this universe, will eventually be destroyed in the great tearing and compression of the universe.

…

Jiang Zhihe and Pang Panghai, who had recovered their mood, continued to study dark matter chimeras. With the continuous support from the Science and Technology Commission, their research on dark matter chimeras became more and more in-depth.

Although the generation mechanism of dark matter chimeras has not yet been understood, some rules and characteristics have been discovered one after another.

at the same time.

Luo Feng led the expedition fleet and jumped to the star system where the life planet was discovered.

They will go to investigate the civilization of this living planet.
