Chapter 126 "Magic" On the Ice and Snow Star
"When you come to this planet, you will be shocked by its pure white. It is a veritable ice and snow planet. It is the princess of snow, the cold and arrogant queen, and a country worthy of life's admiration."
The universe is huge, and there are many planets covered with ice and snow, but most of them are extremely violent.
And Chaka is the cold of civilization and the quiet of a virgin.
It has a pure white sky, pure white land, pure white glaciers, and pure white life.
Everything you see is pure white. Complete, unbroken large pieces of hexagonal snowflakes fall from the sky. If you open your mouth and eat them, you will feel a sweet taste. The water in this world contains a natural mineral saccharin, which is different from saccharin extracted from coal. This saccharin has no peculiar smell.
A silver-white triangular fighter cut through the sky, and the fuselage rubbed against the thick atmosphere at a terrifying speed, generating terrifying heat to melt the ice and snow on the fighter's path, generating a large amount of water vapor, forming a long line that runs through the sky and connects the earth and the sky.
All this happened within 3 seconds, and the fighter had instantly decelerated and landed smoothly on the snow.
The name of the fighter is Snow Owl. The appearance of the fuselage is like a swallow with half-folded wings. It is 34 meters long, with a wingspan of 37 meters. The fuselage height is only 8 meters, and the thinnest part is only 3.6 meters. There is a two-person cockpit in front of the fuselage, which is somewhat like the cockpit of a 21st century fighter, but it is not front and back, but the pilot and co-pilot are side by side on the left and right.
The cockpit can only reach the internal cabin through a very narrow shaft. There are 17 square meters here, which is relatively spacious. It is very luxuriously decorated with sofas, toilets, and even a small bedroom with two hibernation capsules. It can be regarded as a miniature one-bedroom and one-living room.
At this time, Yan Xia was sitting on the sofa, and opposite her was Ella, who occupied a bionic body. It looked very young. If she wore a JK, she would definitely be a teenager killer, the type of sweet girl.
"KB23-D, this is the Ice and Snow Star."
Ella said, and it glanced at the door of the fighter, and the door opened with three beeps.
"This place is very suitable for human habitation. You don't need to wear any equipment. Don't look at the heavy snow outside. The temperature is actually only -21 degrees Celsius."
The moment the hatch opened, a gust of cold air rushed towards Yan Xia.
-21 degrees Celsius doesn't feel cold to him now, just a little cool.
He took a breath and felt effortless. The oxygen concentration here should be above 25%.
"Are we staying in the suburbs?"
Yan Xia looked out through the hatch. There were no buildings.
Ella stood up and led Yan Xia out. It said, "No, the Ice and Snow Star is not within the scope of development."
"The ecosystem here is extremely fragile. The entry of industrial technology may cause irreversible damage to the ecological environment here."
Yan Xia was stunned.
He rarely heard the word environmental damage from Ella. Even if the environment here was damaged, it would be easy for them to repair it.
"So is there something special about the creatures here?"
Yan Xia thought of the possible reason. His best subject is biology, and he is very interested in it.
"Not bad!" Ella nodded, and it picked up a pile of snow from the ground.
"The snow on the Ice and Snow Planet is rich in various mineral elements, and almost all life on the planet absorbs these minerals to survive."
"Carbon-based life absorbs oxygen, and the life forms here are the same. The source of oxygen is the snow."
"They use minerals and water as the source of life. In order to compete for these resources, the life on this planet kills each other, and finally a tribe emerges and dominates the planet."
This tribe has not evolved into a civilization, and they do not have any wisdom.
Ella used holographic projection to show Yan Xia this kind of life.
Unexpectedly, it is hideous!
It is a worm like a sea slug, with a body length of only 30~34cm. Unlike sea slugs, these creatures are not boneless. They are actually vertebrates with a spine running through the whole body, but they have no ribs. They rely on the power of the spine to bend to move in a catapult manner. They can jump 20cm at a time, which is a veritable long jump salted fish.
The reason why they are called ferocious is entirely because of their two mouthparts, which grow on both sides of the front of their limbs, and the sensory organ in the middle. The inside of these two mouthparts is stacked, with hundreds of tiny molars, which grind ice and minerals in ice and snow to make it easier to digest.
They have two rows of six mouths on the back of their bodies that can open and close. When they encounter an enemy, they will bend their bodies like "n" and point these mouths at the enemy in front.
Then Ella played a simulated hunting scene of this creature.
Yan Xia was instantly amazed.
Because these creatures actually ejected hydrogen at high speed from those small mouths, using the static charge carried by their mouth bristles to ignite these high-speed hydrogen to form a flame attack.
"Biological magic?"
The flesh attacks with flames, and it is the result of natural evolution, which is unimaginable.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not that difficult. Living things themselves can produce hydrogen. For example, some anaerobic bacteria on Earth can collect hydrogen in their bodies and spray it out at high speed, which can easily cause the hydrogen to burn. This is because the charge of hydrogen itself is extremely unstable and it is easy to exchange charges with other substances, thereby creating static electricity.
However, this high speed requires great pressure, and it is obviously impossible to achieve 100%, so this creature has added a brush to attach static electricity during drying, so as to form a flame attack with a success rate of up to 87%.
Don't underestimate this 87%, because there are 6 holes, so it can almost be said to be 100%.
Yan Xia does not think this is difficult to achieve. In fact, the most important thing is how to ensure the power.
If you just create a flame that can be made with a lighter, then what is the point of using it to transform the organism?
"This kind of life is an enlightenment."
"Now almost all life in the Federation has quark robots, which means that it is not difficult to produce hydrogen in the body."
As she said, Ella opened her mouth wide and spit out a ball of flame from the end.
This is not very cool, but rather like an acrobatic performance.
"In fact, these quark robots have no problem completing nuclear fusion and nuclear fission, but they can't withstand such power. Releasing it is equivalent to suicide."
"How can this power be controlled?"
"The energy required to control it with a stronger binding force is too large, which is not better than the mecha."
"So high-speed ejection is a more ideal way."
This high speed is not the same as the high speed of life on the Ice and Snow Star. The high speed Ella mentioned is more than 99.921% of the speed of light, so that the energy jet can go in one direction instead of reflecting back and hurting itself.
Ella turned around, facing Yan Xia, and then waved her hand forward.
Yan Xia immediately saw a terrifying energy generated more than 3,000 meters in front of Ella. The diameter of the energy beam reached 100 meters. The energy that flew out swept 70 kilometers ahead before the energy was exhausted in mid-air, creating a straight 31-kilometer-long canal on the Ice and Snow Star.
"This energy is just the fusion of 1kg of deuterium. It is actually difficult to achieve. Not only does it need to accelerate the deuterium, but it also needs to use instantaneous ultra-high temperatures to trigger thermonuclear reactions. I am using a laser now, which takes time to catch up with the particles in front, so the release distance is a little farther."
Technology often comes from inspiration.
This kind of life on the Ice and Snow Star provided inspiration for Ella to create "magic" for the first time.
This is for Yan Xia. Yan Xia cannot know whether he is still himself after becoming a mechanical life, so he has always maintained his physical body, but the physical body is very fragile, and Ella has been working on the problem of insufficient physical defense and attack power.
If this technology can be made more controllable, it will provide infinite possibilities for individual physical life.
Yan Xia feels that from now on, the era of physical ascension in the Civilization Federation may have arrived.
