Homo sapiens

Chapter 665 Difficult Evolution

Li Qingye's Mars expedition is not over yet.

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

Utopia City is located in the south of the Utopia Plain, and it is also one of the landmark cities of Mars, and it is the largest city on Mars.

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

This is also the urban normality of Homo sapiens on other planets, natural satellites, and asteroids.

Among the current human planetary colonies, only Venus has a permanent population of 533 million, and the permanent population of other planetary colonies is generally around tens of thousands.

But Homo sapiens has found two other planets suitable for human habitation.

That is Saturn and Neptune.

Why these two planets?
The reason is naturally very simple - gravity.

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

The planet's gravity has a very peculiar feature. The gravity on the surface of the planet is often the largest, and it will decrease gradually 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, Homo sapiens 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 is enough for tens of billions of people to live.

Now Homo sapiens company is not lack of resources, but lack of suitable living space.

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

But Li Qingye is also very clear that the meal must be eaten bite by bite, otherwise it is easy to choke to death.

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

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

If the science and technology database of the omnic civilization is not obtained, then this time may increase several times.

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

Referring to the six-claw civilization, the other party has developed for several 10 years, and its overall technical level is much worse than that of Homo sapiens. Even if it has not obtained the related technologies of six-claw civilization and omnic civilization, the comprehensive level of Homo sapiens is still slightly higher Six-claw civilized a little.

Now Homo sapiens' shortcoming is actually that it cannot survive outside the standard gravity zone for a long time.

And this problem, even Li Qingye, who is extremely smart, can't solve it in a short time.

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

If the transformation route goes wrong, it will be a huge setback for Homo Sapiens and New Humans.

Therefore, Li Qingye would rather take his time and spend 200 years slowly debugging and experimenting to find out all possible problems, and the last step is in place.

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

You must know that with the soaring average life expectancy of new humans and the continuous encouragement of births by Sapiens, the current annual natural population growth rate of Homo sapiens has reached a very exaggerated 8.3%.

Since the 13th year of Xinghe, the scale of natural people from the other side of the earth flowing into Homo Sapiens has dropped to only about a few hundred thousand per year.

However, the total population of Homo sapiens is still in Xinghe for 20 years, exceeding 56 billion.

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

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

The ecological environment of the earth, in the limit state, can only accommodate 5000 billion human beings even according to the technical level and productivity of Homo sapiens.

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

After all, 5000 billion people are crowded on the earth, and the picture is terrible to think about.

Therefore, it is necessary to find other planets suitable for human survival as soon as possible. Venus is the first habitable planet transformed by Homo sapiens, and it is estimated that it can accommodate 50 billion new humans.

But this is far from enough.

New humans also need a wider living space.

After a series of research, and Homo sapiens company has acquired a large amount of technology from the omnic civilization, the company's planetary transformation level has skyrocketed.

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

Its transformation principle is similar to that of Venus. It also uses vacuum carbon spheres 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. Build livable areas.

The Hive 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 is enough to accommodate trillions of new human beings.

If it is not enough, Homo sapiens can only transform Jupiter again.

As for Uranus, the gravity of this planet is a little 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 for nearly 200 years is solved, the problem will not be big after that.

Because after 200 years, the new humans have most likely completed the evolution, from the new humans on the earth to the new humans in the universe.

The characteristic of the new human beings in the universe is that they can survive for a long time in an environment of microgravity or tens of G gravity, and are not affected by gravity.

As long as you become a new human being in the universe, you don’t need to consider specific gravity at that time, and the entire universe is a habitable area for new human beings.

Li Qingye's evolutionary route for new humans is also one of the first two, and now he can only rely on time to slowly grind it out.

There is no rush for this kind of thing.

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

The reason why he recently went to various colonial planets to investigate is actually to arrange various projects and scientific research topics, so as to prevent people from being too eager for quick success.

In fact, Li Qingye knows that many researchers are anxious. This is not because of their fame and fortune, but because they are also eager to complete evolution and become new cosmic humans who can live freely in the universe.

But scientific research work is sometimes done slowly and meticulously.

He kept inspecting various scientific research and engineering projects, found many problems, and severely criticized those behaviors that were eager for quick success.

Homo sapiens company doesn't need to be in too much of a hurry now, but to concentrate on absorbing the technology of the six-claw civilization and the omnic civilization, and laying a solid foundation for the company. This is the current top priority.

As for the completion of evolution, that is the century-old mission of Homo sapiens, and there is basically no need to think about it in one or two hundred years.
