Minke's black technology

Chapter 437 Crystalline Magma
For example, a space bounty hunter discovered a metallic asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter.

This asteroid is all made of gold and silver, and its volume is only about half of the platinum asteroid on the moon, but it still cannot be pulled back by the spacecraft.

"It is too big, unless it is blown to pieces with a nuclear bomb, it will be difficult to capture successfully!" The experts analyzed.

The cost of using the nuclear bomb mining method is too high. If the transportation cost is included, then the gain outweighs the gain.

After research by the technical experts of Meow Star Space, it was decided to design a space industrial ship to mine this kind of asteroid mine. The whole ship is controlled by AI, and it can automatically mine when it sails on the asteroid. After it is full of ore, it will automatically fly back to the moon base for smelting and purification.

According to the estimates of relevant departments, the metal mines on this asteroid are enough to be mined for more than ten years, and with the development of Blue Star technology, human demand for gold, silver, copper and iron has greatly increased, so the space mining industry must at least continue Only by expanding it can we meet the needs of human society.

"Although most of the work is handed over to the AI, special personnel are still required to monitor it, so as to avoid accidents and cause the spacecraft AI to make wrong choices..."

All in all, even if a large number of space industrial ships are produced to capture this asteroid, it will take a long time to mine it, and there are many similar asteroids in the solar system that have been discovered one after another.

Since the Bald Eagles gave up the space industry plan, they have focused on the field of space services and space exploration. Relying on the anti-gravity engines obtained from the Meow Star Group, the Bald Eagles have developed many technologically advanced exploration spacecraft. The space map of the solar system, on the one hand, can also give itself an advantage in the space development cooperation group.

In this respect, the florist's rabbit did not devote all his energy to space exploration, so he would lag behind the bald eagle in exploring other planets.

Want to put more emphasis on space exploration?
This is for sure, but Rabbit has invested too much in the space industry plan and the Mars remodeling project, so that the work in this area is a little behind, but as long as Meow Star Space tilts its resources a little bit, it can immediately surpass it.

This can also be regarded as the benefit of competition in space between major powers. The opponent can always find your shortcomings, and then constantly remind you to find ways to make up for it.

Anyway, the Bald Eagle has always done things in a high-profile manner, and this group of people is afraid that outsiders will not know, and spread the relevant plans to the Blue Star people, so the reputation of the First Technology Empire has recovered a lot.

This kind of change is actually very normal. Even if the flower growers have the black technology blessing of Meow Star Laboratory and the bald boss, the bald eagle is still a strong technological power. The Eagles still have the ability to go back in some areas.

Not to mention that the bald eagle can rise up, even Mao Xiong has worked hard to become stronger. As one of the members of the Space Development Cooperation Group, they have also obtained a lot of quotas for black technology products, and the number of anti-gravity engines is even greater. Make it rich enough to take it out and sell it to other countries.

It's not that Mao Xiong is greedy for money and wants to sell such an important strategic black technology product, but that they really don't have much spare money to buy it back and use it. Even if they buy it back, they don't have that much money to build spaceships.

So Mao Xiong pulled White Elephant over to cooperate together, making White Elephant willing to contribute money and effort, and it only needs to give up a part of the engine quota.

Not only that, Mao Xiong also promised White Elephant that he would become an associate member of the Space Development Cooperation Group, which is a dream of many countries.

Now the Blue Star countries all understand that the countries and peoples who do not join the space development cooperation group will inevitably become Blue Star natives.

The rapid development of human space development in recent years has made everyone confirm this point.

Especially after the news of the Mars environmental remodeling project plan, it can basically be considered that within a few decades, Mars will definitely become the second home of mankind!

Faced with this development trend, everyone wants to squeeze into this cooperative organization, but so far it only has three official members and three associate members, and it really has very strict entry conditions.

Even though there are not many members of this organization, its member states account for about one-third of the world's population. If the three quasi-member countries are included, it will account for more than half of the population.

The three quasi-members are the foot pot chicken supported by the rabbit, the white elephant supported by the hairy bear, and the Niu Niu supported by the bald eagle.

These few of them were limited by various procedures and access conditions, and they were never able to join successfully, because when the three countries established the Space Development Cooperation Group, it was stipulated that new members must obtain the permission of the three countries, so that they can start from Associate members develop into full members.

The three quasi-member countries, the Foot Pot Chicken, the White Elephant, and the Niu Niu, all have the opportunity to join, but even if they get the consent of two of the major countries, there will still be another major country that will definitely object, and these member countries often play cooperative games, It is very tacit to keep the members of the space development cooperation group unchanged.

For example, when Niu Niu applied to become a regular, Mao Xiong would deliberately jump out to make trouble, and he would never give Niu Niu any face, and resolutely voted against it.

The bald eagle did not disagree, but it also did not put pressure on Mao Xiong. Instead, he secretly liked him. As for the rabbit, he said that Mao Xiong agreed and I agreed, and then Niu Niu's application efforts were completely in vain.

The other two quasi-member states have also experienced the same thing. In the midst of the fight between several major powers, they can only wait for the opportunity with hatred. Even if someone proposes to set up a new space development cooperation organization, it must solve space technologies such as anti-gravity engines. .

Because according to the provisions of the space development cooperation group, without their permission, it is impossible to get the quotas of various meow star black technology products, and only one engine can restrict countries to death.

More importantly, only these three countries have space forces at present. Any violations of other countries can be warned through the space force. If the warning is not very useful, then use force to correct it.

After entering the era of space colonization, the population problem of Blue Star was naturally solved. On the contrary, several space powers felt underpopulated, especially for Mao Xiong, whose population was already shrinking. No space city or Mars colonization had anything to do with them.

Now the territory on the surface of Blue Star doesn't have enough population to develop it, so how could it possibly invest huge sums of money and go to the sky to compete with the other two big powers for planetary colonies.

But in the long run, Mars colonization is of great significance to the development of the country. If you don't occupy a piece of land now, it will be difficult to have such an easy and good opportunity in the future!
Therefore, increasing the population is the basic policy of a space power. In the past ten years, the population growth of Blue Star has entered an explosive stage. The rich countries are stimulating the birth of the people, and the people of the poor countries are also constantly giving birth. Soon this year, the global population will break through. 100 billion!
It’s just that poor and backward countries give birth the most. With the popularization and promotion of Meow Star Black Technology’s cloning meat technology, meat production no longer needs to consume a lot of food, so that Blue Star can feed more people.

"But the population growth in developed countries is not ideal..." the expert said on the media platform.

Because the popularization of smart machines has accelerated the disintegration of the family unit, the basic structure of human society, especially after the new generation of computer angels came into the market, more and more nerds and nerds have lost the motivation to start a family.

In addition, cyborg technology allows ordinary people to have the possibility of immortality. In a society where human beings can survive at least hundreds of years, reproduction is no longer important. Everyone expects their quality of life to be better, but families usually will become a burden on the individual life.

Moreover, the human life span has been extended to hundreds of years. In the face of an incomparably long life, getting married and having children is no longer so urgent!

Human society has entered the era of collective enjoyment, and everyone begins to pursue their own meaning of life instead of confining themselves to family responsibilities. Just like the elves in Western fantasy novels, people's fertility rate has suddenly dropped a lot.

Every society changes, and there are usually many conservative groups who oppose this change. Even though they also enjoy the convenience and benefits brought by technology, these people still want to limit the influence of Meow Star Technology.

These people gathered to protest continuously, thinking that the products of the Meow Star Group have greatly damaged the social structure, such as the bionics such as computer angels, and they decided to stop production immediately, otherwise human beings will become extinct if this continues!

If there is no artificial Zigong technology, perhaps it will really be as described by these people. With the popularization of cyborg technology and the closer relationship between human beings and computer angels, the population of human society will reach a peak of 100 billion After that, it gradually stagnates, and it is even possible that no newborn will be born in a few hundred years!

At that time, the Blue Star humans are likely to become more and more negative because they have no future and future like the movie "Children of Men", and many people may even give up all hope because of this!

However, the invention of artificial Zigong made this terrible end-time scenario not a reality. Even though this technology was not popularized due to some concerns of the government, it has been used to solve infertility diseases.

Even though it can conceive life outside the body, in most cases, women who have lost their fertility due to certain circumstances usually use artificial cloning of their own organs, and then undergo surgery to re-implant them to restore their functions.

This method is only the choice of ordinary women, but for those strong women, actresses and rich women, in order to save the pain of childbearing, they would rather choose to have artificial Zigong instead of bearing offspring.

No matter which method is adopted, it can insure the reproductive ability of human beings. Even if all human beings are unwilling to have offspring in the future, they can create new life by artificial Zigong.

"But if we do that, we must first complete the function of social support, otherwise it may be a big problem to find parents for so many newborns!" The expert analyzed.

This is also the reason why relevant departments do not want to popularize artificial Zigong technology. If someone uses this technology to produce a large number of offspring, and the government cannot supervise it, it will definitely cause very big social problems.

"Really be wary of the misuse of this technology!"

Most people agree with this point of view. After all, someone once wanted to imitate Mitsumasa Kido and have a hundred sons with different women. As a result, after the incident was exposed, this person's plan for a hundred sons was frustrated and stranded.

But during this period of time, he has given birth to more than a dozen children with different women, so it can be seen that this guy is not just talking!

If the man-made Zigong technology is really popularized, people like him can easily complete the Hundred Sons Project. On the surface, it will indeed help the country increase the population, but in fact it will cause a lot of trouble.

……

The Mars environmental remodeling project is progressing well, at least so far.

The florist government has issued many space bounty missions in China, allowing a large number of firefly spacecraft owners to search for water-rich meteorites in space, and then drag these meteorites to the gravitational circle of Mars and let them fall to the designated area.

"There are many water resources in space, and they will exist in the form of huge ice meteorites, so this work is actually very easy to complete!" The expert explained.

After the mass production of anti-gravity engines, humans have obtained large-scale asteroid mining capabilities, and the entire solar system will soon become the back garden of humans. The owners of these firefly spacecraft are pioneers. They are flexible and able to adapt to complex and changeable tasks. .

Humans have discovered a large number of ice crystal meteorites in the rings of Saturn, which are of moderate size and are very suitable for the Firefly spacecraft to drag them to Mars.

Thanks to the efforts of a large number of firefly spacecraft, a wet zone appeared on Mars. As the water gradually accumulated and increased, a small lake was even formed.

Solving water resources is only part of the project. The most important thing is to restore the planet's magnetic field as soon as possible. The project of digging holes at the two poles is proceeding according to plan, and soon the depth of [-] meters will be dug. question.

"The crust of Mars is too strong, much stronger than our blue star, and the temperature underground is also very high!" said the person in charge of the project.

So far, they have dug out more than ten drill bits, and these drill bits are all specially made, dozens of times larger than oil well drill bits, because in the end they have to stuff super-strong magnetic field metal into them, through which to activate the Martian magnetic field.

When they dug to a depth of [-] meters, the project had entered an extremely difficult time, and they could only dig down to a depth of tens of meters every day. At this time, they discovered a large amount of crystalline magma underneath.

After all, Mars is completely different from Blue Star. It probably does not have the same continental crust as Blue Star, but instead has a large amount of crystalline magma inside, which makes the Martian mantle unable to rotate, and thus loses the planet's magnetic field.

"We really can't dig any further!" said the person in charge of the project.
