The huge laboratory is very empty, and there are many plants, crops, and experimental mice, monkeys, puppies, kittens, etc. inside.
"Boss, these plants, crops, and various animals are all used to test the growth of animals and plants in different gravity environments."
"We are also considering that in the future interstellar universe era, we humans will have more living planets. The gravity of these living planets must be different, so we have also conducted research in this area in advance."
“Study the effects on the development of animals and plants under different gravity environments and the impact on our human body.”
Sun Zilong pointed at the animals and plants in the laboratory and said.
Xinghai Technology regards the sea of stars as its highest goal, and its research institutes often have this goal as well, and have already conducted various researches in advance.
For example, on the moon, Xinghai Technology has established a botanical garden specifically to study the growth of plants in low gravity environments, the growth, yield, quality of crops, etc. This is also preparing for the future interstellar universe and obtaining a large number of first-hand information.
Valuable data and information.
For example, in a low-gravity environment, plants will grow more lushly, taller, and larger. At the same time, their yields will also be greatly affected. Some will become higher, but some will become lower.
Others will undergo genetic mutations and grow more branches, leaves, etc.
These research materials are extremely valuable and are of great research value for interstellar agriculture. Space agriculture is carried out in a microgravity environment. What varieties are suitable for planting in space can achieve higher yields and higher
The quality and which varieties are not suitable for planting in space require continuous research and experimentation.
"Well, did you find anything?"
Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction and then asked.
"The current research time is still short, and the main reason is that the gravity we have created is still relatively low, so there are no major discoveries yet."
Sun Zilong shook his head slightly and replied.
"Open the laboratory, let me go in and feel it."
Liu Yuan looked at the laboratory and wanted to go in and experience it.
"Boss, the gravity we create is only one-tenth of the earth's gravity. But because it is on the earth, the gravity in the laboratory is equal to the earth's gravity plus the gravity we created. If this person goes in, the pressure will
It will be much bigger than outside.”
Sun Zilong quickly reminded.
"It's okay. Isn't this just one-tenth more gravity? It's equivalent to one-tenth more weight."
Liu Yuan didn't take it seriously, it was just a little bit of gravity, it was nothing at all.
Seeing the door of the laboratory open, I walked in directly.
As soon as you enter, you can clearly feel the invisible pressure that makes you heavier, as if you have gained more than ten kilograms at once or are carrying more than ten kilograms of stuff on your body.
"Boss, do you feel a little heavier?"
Sun Zilong also followed in and asked with a smile.
"Well, it is indeed a little heavier, but that's okay. This little gravity doesn't have much impact."
Liu Yuan felt it carefully and walked around casually. He didn't feel anything big. It was just that it felt heavier when he first came in. But after staying in there for a while, he immediately got used to it and there was no discomfort.
"The gravity is not strong yet, so I just feel a little bit when I come in, but I will soon get used to it."
"If we can create a more powerful gravity in the future, I think we can use this gravity to exercise."
"Under double gravity or triple gravity, the cells, organs, etc. of the human body can be affected by gravity. Even if you don't do any exercise and just walk in such an environment, it is estimated that the effect of exercise will be great."
The effect is better than hard training outside."
Sun Zilong smiled and introduced to Liu Yuan one of the future application areas of this gravity technology, which is used for physical exercise.
"Haha, this is indeed possible. Under double gravity, a person weighing 100 pounds becomes 200 pounds. If you just walk casually, you will probably be out of breath and sweating profusely."
When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded.
In the interstellar universe, the more advanced civilizations develop, the more citizens of these civilizations will focus on self-training and have longer lifespans and stronger bodies. This is also an important indicator to measure the development level of a civilization.
Just like the Olympic Games on earth, countries and regions that can win gold medals and have a larger number of medals are generally developed regions, while backward regions of the world generally have a hard time winning any medals.
This is mainly because people in developed areas pay more attention to exercise and have the money and time to exercise and train, while people in backward areas are basically still running around in life and have no time, energy and money to play these things.
In addition, most of the areas on the earth with higher life expectancy are also developed areas, while the backward and underdeveloped areas often have very different life expectancy. For example, the areas with the highest life expectancy in the world have reached over 80 years old, and the ranking
The average life expectancy of the people at the bottom is only over 50 years old, with a difference of more than 30 years. The gap is very huge.
Average life expectancy is also an important indicator to measure whether a region is developed or not, and is one of the important indicators in the human development index.
In the interstellar universe, powerful interstellar civilizations are trying their best to improve the lifespan, physical fitness, etc. of their citizens. Research on genetic optimization fluids, longevity technology, etc. are generally done.
Using gravity to exercise is also a very popular thing. Exercising in a strong gravity environment can have a good exercise effect.
"Isn't that right? Three times the gravity becomes 300 kilograms. You don't need to gain weight to feel the feeling of weighing several hundred kilograms."
Sun Zilong said with a smile.
"You need to step up your research and discuss with Tang Peng and Wang Chen to start building a spacecraft that can go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids. It must have gravity."
"Gravity is still too small now. We need to strengthen this technology as soon as possible and research stronger gravity. Navigation in the interstellar universe takes a long time. If there is no gravity generating device, the effect of mechanical movement alone will still be very poor.
, the loss of calcium will be very serious, and the endocrine system in the body will also become disordered, which will cause great harm to the body."
"With the gravity generation device, we can explore the entire solar system and mine resources on the major planets in the solar system."
Liu Yuan looked at the gravity laboratory in front of him, thought for a while and then gave instructions to Sun Zilong.
The space solar power station is under intensive construction, and it is estimated that it will be almost completely completed in a few months.
At that time, it will not only be used to generate electricity, but also be used to smelt asteroids and manufacture very large parts in space to build larger spacecrafts.
A large spaceship is the basis for me to leave the earth and work alone in the future.
Building a spaceship that can be used for interstellar immigration is not an easy task. Liu Yuan estimated that it may take at least several years to complete.
Being in space is no different than being on the ground. Many things are inconvenient and must be completed by mechanical arms. In addition, building a huge spacecraft is a systematic project and there are too many things to consider in all aspects.
Fortunately, Xinghai Technology is the originator of anti-gravity aircraft and has extremely rich construction experience and a large team of scientists and engineers. Otherwise, how would it dare to think of building a spacecraft in space.
Liu Yuan himself plans to spend three years building the first spacecraft that can be used for interstellar immigration. What is missing now is controllable nuclear fusion technology, warp engine technology and the materials needed to build large spacecrafts.
The materials must be obtained from the interstellar universe. The asteroid belt contains countless asteroids. Many of these asteroids contain a large amount of metals, among which there are many cold iron ones.
If you mine an asteroid at random, it is estimated that its mass is hundreds of millions of tons. Asteroids of hundreds of millions of tons may sound very big, but in fact they are just ordinary asteroids.
Asteroids are very small, but the mass of large ones can be very large. There are even asteroids in the Coinber Belt region of the solar system that are comparable in mass to the Earth.
The formation of asteroids has a lot to do with the history of the solar system. It is formed by the gradual accumulation of material remnants that formed stars. In the entire solar system, in addition to the asteroid belt, there are also the Coinber belt and the Oort cloud belt.
A large amount of stellar material remains, forming extremely large asteroids.
The resources contained in these asteroids are many times greater than those on the Earth.
The reason why stellar civilization is powerful is because the energy, resources, etc. that it can utilize have long been separated from the mother star and are no longer bound and limited by the mother star. It can mine resources and energy throughout the star system.
The resources and energy obtained have far exceeded the civilization of the home star.
Asteroids must be mined.
Not only to build larger spaceships, but also to study the technology of mining asteroids and smelting asteroids. At the same time, manufacturing spacecrafts requires a large amount of steel resources. If we do not mine asteroids, we can only rely on the resources on the earth.
resource.
Although the iron ore reserves on this earth are very amazing, most of them are buried deep underground, and the resources that humans can use and mine are only limited to the surface of the earth.
As technology and civilization develop, we must gradually look toward the interstellar universe instead of always focusing on the resources on the mother planet.
"I understand, boss, I will speed up the research."
When Sun Zilong heard this, he quickly nodded and replied.
