Homo sapiens

Less than three days.

The scale of living metals on the surface of Mars has expanded to 100 billion tons.

Including the surface of the entire Sanmu Mountains, as well as the strata about 15,000 meters underground, the tungsten element contained in them has been evacuated.

Although the proportion of tungsten used in life metals is only about 7.2%, 100 billion tons of life metals still requires the consumption of 7.2 billion tons of tungsten.

If it weren't for the large number of volcanic relic mineral deposits excavated underground, it might be possible to collect such a huge amount of tungsten element.

When the scale of life metal reached 100 billion tons, the staff quickly adjusted the control program of life metal to stop self-reproduction, and then began to build the Mars ring.

The Mars ring surrounds the entire Martian equator. This thing is actually a large particle collider.

The reason why such a huge particle collider is built is that the current nuclear physics has reached the limit of development.

Although it has absorbed some of the physics knowledge of the Six-Claw Civilization and the Omnic Civilization, the physics of these two civilizations is not much higher than that of the Homo Sapiens Company.

At least Homo sapiens discovered the lower-level particle of the quark - the primeton.

The Six Claw Civilization did not discover the First Son.

The omnic civilization has discovered the prime son, but they are only theoretical research. Let alone the application of the prime son, even the application of quarks cannot be done, and there are very few technologies at the neutron and proton level.

Basic physics often comes first with theory, but there is a serious separation between application and theory.

This is a problem that every first-level civilization must face.

In Li Qingye's view, it is true that first-level civilization needs to advance to second-level civilization, and the current cutting-edge physical theory is almost enough.

The problem is that from theory to application, this is a gap that is difficult to cross.

For example, at this time, Homo Sapiens Company already knew a lot about the First Son and even had various theoretical models, but it was simply impossible to transform these theories into applications.

There are only a few applications at the proton and neutron levels.

If the Homo sapiens company can realize the application of the theory of neutrons, protons, quarks, and primates, then it is estimated that the homo sapiens company is not far from the second level civilization.

This is also the common conclusion reached by scientists from the current Science Division.

With the current materials, there is no way to achieve super-light travel, and even 10% of the speed of light is difficult.

The fastest speed of the omnic civilization that conquered tens of thousands of planetary systems was only 8% of the speed of light, while the fastest speed of the quasi-secondary civilization that defeated the omnic civilization was 32% of the speed of light.

After the Homo sapiens company absorbed the technology of the omnic civilization, it was actually difficult to achieve a sailing speed of 8% of the speed of light.

Because the navigation technology of the omnic civilization is not simply plasma thrusters and controllable nuclear fusion, but opportunistic.

The omnic civilization used the gravitational slingshot of the black hole and various auxiliary technologies to barely reach 8% of the speed of light.

There are no black holes near the solar system. Even if there are many black holes in the Milky Way, it will take at least hundreds of thousands of years for the Homo sapiens company's spacecraft to fly over.

This technology is really useless.

After absorbing the technology of omnic civilization, the Homo sapiens company's spacecraft can reach the fastest speed of 3.5% of light.

At this speed, the most you can do is go to the six-clawed giant star or the Proxima Neighbor System, and don't even think about other surrounding planetary systems.

Instead of traveling for hundreds of years to other planetary systems, it is better to continue to develop technology in the solar system. As long as neutron materials, quark materials, and even primeton materials are mentioned, the Homo sapiens company will probably be a quasi-secondary civilization by then.

The purpose of building the Mars Ring Large Particle Collider is to further clarify the physical properties of quarks and primetons.

Only by thoroughly understanding the physical properties of these particles can it be possible to apply these particles.

The previous particle colliders on the earth and the moon were too small, and the particle acceleration speed and particle energy level were not enough to knock out the prime particles.

In addition, the Mars Ring Large Particle Collider has other tasks, such as studying black hole physics, gravitational waves, neutrinos, dark matter, etc.

As Life Metal began to move into the engineering construction stage.

Starting from Sanmu City on Pawunis Mountain, a huge pipeline was quickly built along the equator to the east and west.

Its construction speed has reached an unprecedented level.

Since the six-claw silicon steel is the core component of the Mars ring pipe, what is the most abundant thing on the surface of Mars? Hematite and silicates, of course.

These two materials are easier to obtain than elements like tungsten and rhodium.

Therefore, with the full energy supply support of Energy City, the life metal on Mars can theoretically refine about 80 billion tons of six-claw silicon steel every five minutes.

If it weren't for the time lost in transporting raw materials, only 10 to 20 billion tons of six-claw silicon steel could be synthesized every five minutes.

Through these silicon steel materials, a silicon steel pipe with a radius of 50 meters and attached superconducting coils "grew" all the way on the equator of Mars.

This speed is amazing.

No wonder the omnic civilization could expand to tens of thousands of planetary systems.

Even if the life metal of the omnic civilization does not have the function of a magnetic monopole crystal and the reproduction rate is less than one percent of the Homo sapiens version of the life metal, as long as the life metal of the omnic civilization is allowed to take root in the planetary system, the consequences will be Unthinkable.

Now the Homo sapiens company is the same, even more terrifying.

After all, the magnetic monopole crystal gives the living metal a steady stream of energy, and at the same time, the living metal can be remotely controlled through the magnetic monopole crystal.

It took the Homo sapiens company several years to build tens of millions of square kilometers of floating islands in the atmosphere of Venus. If nanorobots composed of living metals are used, it can be completed in less than a year.

This is because the surface temperature and pressure of Venus are too high and corrosive, which seriously interferes with the reproduction rate of living metals.

If it is a terrestrial planet like Mars with very low atmospheric pressure and relatively suitable surface temperature, the expansion speed can reach the limit.

It took less than 14 days.

A ring tube around the equator of Mars was completed.

At this time, the staff began to disperse the life metal and gradually completed other supporting facilities for the Star Halo project.

For example: vacuum system, power supply system, etc.

At the same time, the Mars Colonization Branch also received instructions from the head office, asking them to fully cooperate with the work of the Science Division to produce a batch of precision instruments.

Although life metal is nearly omnipotent in construction projects, it is still powerless against some precision instruments.

Various neutrino detectors, gravitational wave detectors, primeton detectors, etc. are so delicate that living metals have no way to deal with them.

Therefore, the manufacturing of these precision instruments is completed by the Mars Colonization Branch.

The progress of the Mars Halo Project is advancing at an unprecedented speed.
