Homo sapiens

Chapter 665 Difficult Evolution

Li Qingye's Mars expedition work is not over yet.

After inspecting the dual neutron manufacturing plant in the Mars ring system, he, accompanied by Dr. Yuri, came to the Utopia City in the northern hemisphere of Mars.

Utopia City is located in the southern part of Utopia Plain. It is also one of the landmark cities on Mars and the largest city on Mars.

However, this city is an unmanned city. Except for synchronous robots and industrial robots, there is no real human presence here.

This is also the norm in cities of Homo sapiens companies on other planets, natural satellites, and asteroids.

Among the current human planetary colonies, only Venus has a permanent population of more than 5.33 million. The permanent population of other planetary colonies is generally around tens of thousands.

However, the Homo sapiens company has found two other planets suitable for human habitation.

That's Saturn and Neptune.

Why these two planets?

The reason is naturally very simple - gravity.

Saturn's gravity is 12.5G and Neptune's gravity is 11.4G, which is very close to the Earth's 9.8G.

The gravity of the planet has a very peculiar characteristic. The gravity on the surface of the planet is often the largest, and decreases towards the core or outside the atmosphere.

In this way, as long as the 9.8G gravity layer is found outside the atmosphere of Saturn and Neptune, the Homo sapiens company can build a suitable artificial ecosystem in this gravity layer.

You know, the surface areas of Saturn and Neptune are very vast.

Even if only a small part of it is developed, it will be enough to house tens of billions of people.

Nowadays, Homo sapiens companies do not lack resources, but lack suitable living space.

Although new humans in the future will definitely transform their own genes and become new humans in the universe.

But Li Qingye also knew very well that he had to eat his food one bite at a time, otherwise he would easily choke to death.

Even according to the current most optimistic schedule of the Science Division, it will take at least about 150 years for new humans to complete genetic modification and comprehensive evolution.

This is only possible if the Homo sapiens company has absorbed a large amount of technology from the omnic civilization.

If the technological database of the omnic civilization had not been obtained, this time might have increased several times.

In fact, the development speed of the Homo sapiens company is already very fast among all first-level civilizations.

Referring to the Six-Claw Civilization, the other party has developed for hundreds of thousands of years, and its overall technical level is much worse than that of the Homo Sapien Company. Even if it has not obtained the relevant technologies of the Six-Claw Civilization and the Omnic Civilization, the overall level of the Homo Sapien Company is still slightly higher. The six claws are more civilized.

The shortcoming of the current Homo sapiens company is actually that it cannot survive outside the standard gravity zone for a long time.

As for this problem, even the extremely smart Li Qingye couldn't solve it in a short time.

This is mainly because when it comes to genetic issues, there is no room for carelessness and carelessness.

If the transformation route goes wrong, it will be a huge setback for the Homo sapiens company and New Humanity.

Therefore, Li Qingye would rather take his time and spend one or two hundred years slowly debugging and experimenting to find out all possible problems and get the final step in place.

The disadvantage of this is that the living space of new humans will be seriously insufficient.

You know, as the average life expectancy of new humans has skyrocketed, and the Homo sapiens company continues to encourage births, the current annual natural population growth rate of the homo sapiens company has reached a very exaggerated 8.3%.

Beginning in the 13th year of the Galaxy, the flow of natural people from the Earth's side into the Homo sapiens company has dropped to only about a few hundred thousand per year.

But the total population of Homo sapiens is still in Galaxy 20, exceeding 5.6 billion.

It is estimated that within the next 200 years, the total population of Homo sapiens will exceed one trillion.

Obviously the earth cannot accommodate one trillion new humans, and even if it eats up the rest of the free world, it will not help.

The earth's ecological environment, at its limit, can only accommodate 500 billion humans, even according to the technological level and productivity of the Homo sapiens company.

But this is obviously not the result that Homo sapiens wants to see.

After all, 500 billion people are crowded on the earth. It’s scary to think about it.

Therefore, we must find other planets suitable for human survival as soon as possible. Venus is the first habitable planet transformed by the Homo sapiens company and is expected to be able to accommodate 5 billion new humans.

But this is far from enough.

New humans also need a broader living space.

After a series of studies, coupled with the fact that the Homo sapiens company has obtained a large amount of technology from the omnic civilization, the company's planetary transformation level has skyrocketed.

Now the Homo sapiens company has the confidence to transform Saturn and Neptune.

Its transformation principle is similar to that of Venus. It also uses vacuum carbon balls to build floating land, and then builds a layer of honeycomb structure on the surface of the planet. Finally, based on the honeycomb structure layer, it extends outward to the 9.8G gravity layer. At the 9.8G gravity layer to build livable areas.

The hive structure layer can also mine the bases of Saturn and Neptune.

As long as the transformation of Saturn and Neptune is completed, the 9.8G gravity layer of these two planets will be enough to accommodate trillions of new humans.

If that's not enough, the Homo sapiens company will have no choice but to terraform Jupiter.

As for Uranus, the gravity of this planet is slightly lower than that of Venus, so it is not suitable as a habitable planet.

The idea of ​​Li Qingye and the management of Homo Sapiens Company is very simple. As long as the problem of population living space in the past 200 years is solved, the problem will not be big after that.

Because after 200 years, the new human beings will most likely have completed their evolution and transformed from the new human beings on the earth into the new human beings in the universe.

The characteristic of the new humans in the universe is that they can survive in microgravity or tens of G gravity environments for a long time and are not affected by gravity.

As long as you become a new human being in the universe, there will be no need to consider specific gravity. The entire universe will be a habitable area for the new human being.

Li Qingye is also one of the first two people to develop the evolutionary path of new humans. Now he can only rely on time to slowly develop it bit by bit.

This kind of thing cannot be rushed.

Once you are too eager for quick success, it is likely to be counterproductive.

The reason why he recently visited various colonial planets was actually to arrange various projects and scientific research projects to prevent anyone from being too eager for quick success.

In fact, Li Qingye knew that many researchers were anxious. This was not because they were interested in fame and fortune, but because they also longed to complete evolution and become new human beings in the universe who could live freely in the universe.

But sometimes scientific research requires slow work and careful work.

He constantly inspected various scientific research and engineering projects, discovered many problems, and seriously criticized those who were eager for quick success and instant benefits.

Now the Homo Sapien Company actually does not need to be in a hurry. Instead, it must concentrate on absorbing the technology of the Six-Claw Civilization and the Omnic Civilization and solidifying the foundation of the company. This is the current top priority.

As for completing evolution, that is a century-old mission of the Homo sapiens company, and it is basically unnecessary to think about it until one or two hundred years.
