Forest Ranger, in the captain's lounge.

Nie Yun is wearing a white coat and shaking a glass test tube to observe carefully. There are some emerald green liquid in the test tube, which is a dilution of the water of life.

Behind Nie Yun, the little octopus was crawling up crept, sneaking on the test tube in Nie Yun's hand.

"Tread!" It stepped hard, like a shadow, quickly jumped up!

But at the next moment, Nie Yun's orchid finger appeared in front of the little octopus.

"Boom!" A finger-pointing supernatural power flicked the stunned octopus directly into the faceguard of the silver wing guard!

The "click" faceplate closed, and the unlucky "pop" sound of a small octopus ...

Nie Yun rolled his eyes helplessly, and was about to continue his research, the projection of the codename slowly appeared in front of Nie Yun.

"Your Excellency Captain, the" Prometheus "project has successfully carried out the initial test!"

Nie Yun nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. "Well! The project continues to expand, and the scale of the Mercury base will be expanded in the next step. We need to cover this energy network to the entire solar system as soon as possible, and give priority to laying energy lines connecting the sun to the wormhole.

In addition, the subsystem of the Prometheus system, Mirror of Archimedes, can be designed and planned, allowing limited participation of the Earth Defense Force! "

"Yes!"

...

The "Prometheus" plan is of great significance to Nie Yun. It can completely change the energy layout of Nie Yun in the solar system.

The thermonuclear fusion reaction technology currently used by Nie Yun uses nuclear deuterium and tritium hydrogen isotopes.

The content of these two isotopes in the solar system is very rich, but the distribution is not uniform. For example, the moon has huge reserves, and it is convenient to extract and the cost is extremely low. Guard four.

In this case, simply increasing the energy extraction can not completely solve the energy problem in a certain area, and ultimately have to return to the complementarity and transportation of resources.

However ... at this time the shortcomings of Nie Yun's leapfrog development became apparent.

His colonial expansion with mechanical worms as its core is leaping. It only needs to launch the mechanical worms to their destination, and it can become a country like a base car!

Between each base, remote communication and virtual technology are used in series to achieve the purpose of remote control.

This method allowed Nie Yun to completely abandon the logistics needs and achieve the amazing achievement of exponentially expanding the colony in a short period of time.

However, material exchanges between various colonial bases have so far been basically zero, and resource complementation has not been achieved so far.

Various construction materials can find alternatives, but energy fuels will not work. The further the development, the more prominent this problem will be. Unless Nie Yun slows down the expansion and increases the investment in the construction of transport spacecraft, this situation will be alleviated.

But if you can install a lampshade to the sun, turn it into a large light bulb, plunder the energy radiated by the sun, and then supply energy to the major bases of the solar system through the light-speed energy supply network, then the problem of energy transportation will be solved most of the time. .

In addition, the massive amount of energy can be used for military purposes in addition to construction and reducing the demand for energy extraction.

The "Archimedes Mirror", which is still in the design stage, is the military application of the "Prometheus System" ...

...

After explaining the follow-up work to the code, Nie Yun turned his attention to the test tube in his hand again.

After this period of research, Nie Yun has basically determined that the core component of the so-called water of life should be a magic plant enzyme!

Once this enzyme enters the biological cell, it can be quickly decomposed and emit a peculiar radiation energy. This radiation energy that can be quickly absorbed by the organism is the "life energy" that Nie Yun previously thought!

We know that nuclear radiation can cause biological variation, the essence of which is that the biological DNA has changed.

The reason is that there are a large number of high-energy subatomic particles in nuclear radiation. These particles can enter the interior of the cell and act on biological DNA molecules, causing double-stranded opening of biological DNA, and addition, deletion or partial reverse order of DNA pairs in DNA molecules. , Thereby causing gene mutations.

Gene mutations will change the genetic traits of organisms, and most of the changes in genetic traits are lethal, but some are heritable.

And this radiant energy caused only benign gene mutations, which made Nie Yun shout.

However, it is one thing to know the general principle. Nie Yun has no clue as to the amount of water of life.

As for why Nie Yun knows that this enzyme is a plant enzyme, it is necessary to mention the "biosynthesis technology" that Queen Rose sold before because of poverty.

In this technology, Nie Yun obtained the biological maps of some animals and plants in Karaxing, and the structure of this enzyme is more than 70% similar to that of one of the plants!

And this plant is ... Carla!

"Interestingly, according to Rose, this water of life should have appeared in the crater formed after the fall of the meteorite, but now this enzyme is actually related to Carraro ...

Carlaro ... Carla Civilization ... Carla Star ...

Ha ha! It seems that what our majesty has concealed from me ... "Nie Yun smiled while touching his chin.

I am afraid that Rose couldn't even dream about it. Nie Yun actually solved the mystery of the water of life in such a short time, and also found out the connection between it and Carlaro.

It can only be said that she underestimated the microscopic analysis ability of the mechanical worms, and underestimated the horror of Nie Yun, which is a collection of technology.

But in any case, being dishonest, even if you are a minor, you must pay a good faith tax ...

"Hey, hey ..." The captain's evil laughter shivered all the small octopuses who were still protesting.

...

Solar system, earth.

"Hello everybody, welcome to the island of miracles ... Atlantis!

We are about to dock at the No. 3 port of the Fifth Ring Road. Please travellers to pack up your belongings and take your children with you. Please get your temporary identity terminal when going through the security channel ... "

At the outer port of Atlantis, a cruise ship stirred up the white waves and slowly docked at the pier.

With the sweet female voice prompts in the sound reinforcement equipment, hundreds of passengers on the cruise liner disembarked one after another, and salutes with large and small bags followed the instructions to a spacious security hall waiting in line.

Among the crowd, there was an Asian man with a strong sense of presence. He had black hair and carried a half-height climbing bag. The figure of 180 was very well-proportioned. The handsome face made some women around him pay attention.

But he was blind to his surroundings and looked at his surroundings with self-care and curiosity.

The buildings here use a lot of metal and mirror materials, which are very clean and tidy. A large number of virtual display panels are providing consultation and guidance for everyone, and the sense of technology immediately greets us, making people feel that they have suddenly entered the future world.

Unmanned management has been realized here, only occasionally a round cleaning robot rolls over in front of everyone, causing everyone to scream and admire.

The man followed the flow of people and was led all the way into the security channel. On the sides of the channel stood two guards standing motionless. The appearance and appearance were the same as ordinary policemen. "Police / Police" was also written on his chest, but the cold steel face and The body undoubtedly shows that these are two robots.

"Wow! This is the latest type of mechanical mech developed by the military. I was pleasantly surprised when I first arrived in Atlantis. I was so lucky!" An Asian fat man behind the man suddenly stared at the mechanical guard. Exclaimed with a thick Cantonese accent, and picked up the SLR camera "Kaka Kaka" in his hand and kept shooting.

There was also a thin man next to him, who seemed to be his companion, and now he was helplessly covering his face and lamented. Then the thin man noticed that the handsome man in front was turning to look at them.

There are people of all skin tones on this boat. Perhaps the sight of Asian faces made skinny people feel very kind. He smiled embarrassedly at the handsome man.

"Ahaha, my companion is a military fan. I forgot to see good things, I am sorry, sorry, ah ... Yeah, I forgot to ask if you are Chinese or not, do you use Zeni poetry? Inge Lisi? "The thin man said incoherently with a crappy eagle.

"I am a Chinese American and can understand Chinese, but your words are a little difficult to understand, hehe!" The man nodded with a smile.

Hearing that the other party was actually Chinese, the fat man who had finally overcame the shooting was also happy to come over. "Hello, hello, you know the truth in your hometown. I heard you accent some Beijing accent. Is it Beijing? Are you also a tourist?

Let me tell you, except for the infrastructure on Atlantis Island, the other is to purchase the most advanced high-tech items from various countries. It can be said that the entire island is a gathering place for high-tech items.

For example, the introduction of a mechanical policeman is the latest security robot developed by our country, and it is not yet available on the market. Traveling here is definitely beautiful, and Meidi is very good ... "The fat man is pulling the man Barabara excitedly Keep talking.

Seeing that the handsome man seemed to have a big head, the thin man hurried out to interrupt the fat man. "A friend, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Xun, from Guangdong Province."

"Kaoru? A rare surname, is it Kaoru of lavender?"

"No, it's the smoke of Wukong."

man:"……"

"My surname is Shrimp, and he's the buddy." The fat man patted his chest and suddenly shuddered with fat.

"Shrimp? This surname ... also seems rare?"

"It's very common, Shrimp Wujing's shrimp."

man:"……"(-_-#)

Damn it, it's so difficult to disguise the identity you chose, even if I am proficient in Chinese, but you speak Mandarin with me.

Sure enough, it should be a black man then?

"Cough! My surname is Zhu, Zhu Yuanzhang's Zhu!" The man said with brutal force, "but I am used to being called my eagle's name-Chris!"
