Chapter 14 Alien Spaceship
The meeting lasted for 24 hours, and hundreds of plans, big and small, were agreed upon. Crazy scientists faced the survival crisis and brought out all their wisdom and ingenuity. Things like artificial synthesis of glucose and artificial synthesis of protein came up, but they were shelved for various reasons.
Human technology seemed so weak in the face of life and death. In fact, humans have not even been able to artificially synthesize glucose without the help of plants!
It was not until the next morning that Yu Yifeng walked out of the venue with a tired face, but the spirit in his eyes could not be concealed. The plan had been made, and as long as it was implemented, there was still hope for mankind.
Perfection, the biggest hope is still Perfection!
During the meeting, some scientists proposed that a batch of super plants could be cultivated with Perfection, and then these super plants could be used to produce food!
After all, three months is too short. It takes a lot of time to arrange the site and produce new equipment, and ordinary plants have poor environmental adaptability. An air leak or a malfunction of the cultivation machine may easily take their lives. And humans just can't bear this kind of failure!
But super plants don't have this problem. For example, super rice, after being transformed by perfect elements, has changed from an original herbaceous plant to a woody plant, with a tall body, increased output, and greatly enhanced environmental adaptability.
This super rice is not only cold-resistant and heat-resistant, but can even survive in extreme cosmic environments for a short period of time. Although it is only a short period of time, it is enough!
And it only takes two months for super rice to germinate and mature, which means that humans have at least one month to prepare! In this way, there is much more time.
"The federal government used to have very strict control over perfectamin, and any experiment required written approval. Now it's different." Yu Yifeng recalled, "The perfectamin stored in the lunar base is enough for six million people, and now our population is only 50,000... So, it's okay to use some on plants."
Dr. Roman nodded, but said with some worry, "However, the control of perfectamin must continue. We don't understand its principle. If we use it carelessly, super insects, super bacteria and the like will appear, and then it will be a big trouble."
At present, human beings' exploration of perfectamin is still on the surface. They only know that it has an evolutionary effect on life, but they don't know how it works. The direction of this evolution is uncontrollable and there is no way to predict it. If something like a biochemical crisis or an alien really appears, then all mankind will be doomed.
"Yes, technology has always been a double-edged sword, and certain control is still necessary." Yu Yifeng nodded.
At this time, the group was heading to the alien spaceship, which was also the core of the entire base. It was buried deep under the Bailey Crater. According to the plan, all humans will gradually move to this spaceship in the future, and the surface will be vacated for growing plants.
Although it was not the first time that Yu Yifeng saw this spaceship, he was still deeply surprised by the scene in front of him. It was so big that it could not be seen at a glance. According to measurements, it had a diameter of 15 kilometers. Just such a huge volume alone cannot be made by human technology.
It is not streamlined, nor does it look like a flying saucer, but a perfect round sphere, like a hollow lead ball. The surface of the hull is a silver-gray metal-like material, hard and thick. In fact, people have studied this unknown material before, but the technical level is too different, and there has been no progress in 30 years.
It is not the "neutron star material" in science fiction novels. Unlike any known substance, under a scanning tunneling microscope, no atomic structure can be seen, no electrons, no atomic nuclei... It is still dense, which obviously exceeds human cognition.
It is completely smooth, even at the atomic scale. The friction generated by the surface of the sphere is almost zero, so the surface of the spacecraft looks spotless and sparkling.
Now people are self-aware, and few people study this unknown material. They only know that it is a product of the same technological level as Perfect Element. It is hard and reliable enough. Maybe when technology is more advanced in the future, someone will consider this issue again.
Yu Yifeng walked around the spacecraft and found a lot of "mirror"-like objects on the surface of the hull. These mirrors are a bit like the surface of water hanging on the wall, with ripples from time to time, which is very magical. He touched this layer of "water surface" with his hand, and his entire palm actually went through it directly, as if it disappeared. When he pulled his hand out, he found that his palm was still intact.
"Captain Yu, these water-like things are the entrances to the spacecraft." Physicist Felix introduced, "There are more than 2,000 entrances of this size. Since the surface of the spacecraft is completely smooth, there is almost no way to use it for leverage. We can only mount facilities through these entrances. Look, this is also the entrance to our lunar laboratory, please come in."
This entrance is six or seven meters wide. Yu Yifeng did not hesitate and got up and drilled into this "water surface". At this moment, he felt like he had traveled through a world. His center of gravity was unstable and his body shook.
Gravity! He actually felt the gravity like on Earth!
The gravity acceleration on Earth is about 9.8 meters per second squared, which is also the gravity that humans are more accustomed to. The gravity on the moon is only one-sixth of that on Earth, so walking is light and fluttery. But at this moment, Yu Yifeng dares to bet that the current gravity is exactly the same as on Earth!
Felix followed closely and walked in. As one of the most outstanding physicists of our time, he has studied this spacecraft for many years and knows its basic information very well.
"As you can see, this spaceship has its own gravity system." Felix said with emotion, "The alien civilization created gravity in the spaceship with technology that we can't imagine."
"The strength of gravity changes with the height." He drew a spherical image and explained with his hands, "At the highest point of the sphere, the gravity is almost zero. The lower you go, the greater the gravity. At the bottom of the spaceship, it even reaches 20 times the gravity of the earth! We can feel different intensities of gravity on a spaceship. It's really great technology.
And where we are standing now, the gravity is just equivalent to the earth in the past... The position is probably in the middle of the sphere."
"This is why we chose the location of the laboratory here! We humans are most adapted to this kind of gravity."
Yu Yifeng paced back and forth for a while. This feeling is correct... The same gravity environment as the earth is amazing!
"Mr. Felix, how big is this spaceship? How many people can live in it?" Yu Yifeng asked.
Felix showed a strange expression and said with a smile, "Captain Yu, the space inside this spaceship is distorted, much larger than you think! Measured from the outside, it is a sphere with a diameter of 15 kilometers, but the inside is not."
"Measured from the inside, the horizontal diameter is about 200 kilometers, which is 13 times larger than the outside, and the vertical length is 60 kilometers, which is also 4 times larger. It looks like a sphere from the outside, but it is actually an enlarged ellipsoid inside!"
"This is - space folding technology..."
"I personally think that there may be an object with a mass of up to billions of tons under the spaceship, which generates a strong gravitational force, and combined with such a distorted space, it creates this unique gravity environment. If we have such technology... Alas..." Felix suddenly sighed, feeling a little confused. Perhaps the more he knows, the more he understands the ignorance and insignificance of human beings.
The vast universe contains so many truths. Human beings, like a child playing on the beach, are excited from time to time for picking up smoother stones or more beautiful shells than usual, and what is presented to humans is a completely unexplored sea of truth.
At this time, biologist Dr. Roman also said, "The spacecraft is big enough. If we really build a complete ecosystem and establish carbon, oxygen and water cycles, humans can survive in it for a long time."
"However, we have to repair this spacecraft first. Except for our laboratory, other areas are almost in a vacuum state. Don't these damn aliens need air?" Roman said.
Yu Yifeng walked around casually and looked at the laboratory curiously. In fact, he was born here and has some vague memories.
This is undoubtedly the best laboratory in the entire scientific community. Various cutting-edge experimental facilities such as electronics, chemistry, biology, physics, etc. can be found here.
High gravity, low gravity and even zero gravity environments do not exist on Earth, and they attract a large number of researchers. After 30 years, this place has become the most cutting-edge technology base.
Yu Yifeng put on his space suit and walked out of the laboratory. It was a vacuum environment outside, dark, without light and atmosphere. If the interior of the laboratory is a well-decorated house, then the outside is a rough house, empty, with a hint of purple metal on the ground, cold and silent, with a rough beauty.
This kind of metal-like thing is very strong, and it cannot be destroyed even at a temperature of tens of millions, but compared with the outer shell of the spacecraft, it has a lower technological content. After all, it has friction and belongs to the atomic level.
The interior of the spacecraft is a bit like a honeycomb structure, with regular hexagonal "rooms". These "rooms" are terribly large, with a length and width of more than a few thousand meters. It can be said that a "room" can accommodate a mountain!
People once searched the entire spacecraft, but found nothing except the perfect element in the middle room...
This spacecraft has no cockpit, no power room, and even no engine! This has triggered many human fantasies. How did the spacecraft start? Why is there nothing inside? Did the aliens evacuate collectively? What do they look like?
Yu Yifeng even had some doubts. This was not a spaceship at all, but a container, a container for perfect elements... But why was it on the moon? Why was it so huge? Was there some secret?
These secrets may never be known by anyone. Maybe the previous coalition government knew some, but with the explosion of the earth, all the secrets were buried in history. He only knew that this spaceship was about to become the home of mankind...
Certain planning is essential. Residential areas, industrial areas, agricultural areas, entertainment venues, laboratories, etc. all need to be planned in advance. According to the concept, the low gravity area above and the medium gravity area in the middle are where humans can survive normally. The high gravity area at the bottom of the spacecraft is of no great use, as the fragile human body cannot withstand too much gravity.
In short, the specific design still needs to be left to the engineers.
What I have to do now is mobilization! Mobilize all the decadent people.
