After Ye Qinghe exited Yi Ge Lu, he came to Elder Bao Xi and Yan who were waiting outside. The two saw Ye Qinghe's serious expression, but before she could speak, Elder Bao Xi said, "This is not the place to talk.
Let’s go to Elder Yan’s nutrition cabin nearby to talk about it.” Ye Qinghe nodded and followed the two elders to the slightly smaller nutrition cabin behind Yi Ge Lu. There was a plaque on the door that read “Xinglin Residence” in official writing.
.
As soon as he entered the door, a fresh herbal fragrance hit his face, making Ye Qinghe feel refreshed and tired.
After Elder Yan invited them to sit down, Ye Qinghe asked, "Two elders, where can I find Xi soil?"
"What do you want to do with the soil?" Bao Xi asked a little surprised, why did Mars, the hottest nuclear material at the moment, arouse Ye Qinghe's interest.
"Elder Cangxi entrusted me to go to Earth to complete the experiments she had not completed back then, and she said that Xi soil can solve all the problems on Earth today." Ye Qinghe said frankly.
"Ever since I brought Elder Cang Xi back from the Earth in the 2nd year of the Shiyi Era, she handed over the prototype of Xi soil and the first-generation formula to the Elders' Academy." Bao Xi recalled, "After that, a fanaticism started.
There is an upsurge in research on soil extraction and formula improvement.”
"You mean the Olympus Landing Station and the experimental cabins opposite are all doing this?" Ye Qinghe now understood a little bit that the hope on the faces of the Martians he met on the road was indeed mixed with some enthusiasm and madness.
"That's just the tip of the iceberg. The number of experimental cabins distributed all over the planet, official or private, has far exceeded what you see." Bao Xi continued to explain.
"Then have they extracted the breath soil?" Ye Qinghe asked.
"The raw materials of soil are too precious. Some of the meteorites left behind when the asteroids hit the earth have been sifted out," Bao Xi said with a sigh.
"Who is Xiang Liu? What does meat sieve mean?" Ye Qinghe asked in confusion. He hadn't returned to his home planet for half a century and felt that a lot of new vocabulary had been created here.
"Is it the snake-body nine-dragon-headed demon beast you mentioned in your consciousness information, Elder Banquan's head?" Bao Xi was surprised by Ye Qinghe's question.
"Xiang Liu is the name of that monster?! What a pity for such a beautiful name. I think it was named by Elder Ji Xuan. Beast is more in line with its temperament." Ye Qinghe said regretfully, "What does Meat Sift mean?
"
"There is a skill in the gene pool of that monster, which is to eat soil and sift for gold. That's why it devours mountains, rivers and mounds on the earth, and then its excrement will filter out meteorites and be sent back to Mars.
They were robbed by these laboratories." Bao Xi said depressedly, "I was too careless back then. I agreed to Elder Sakazumi and synthesized Xiangliu to collect meteorites, the raw materials for refining the soil. Unexpectedly, it brought meteorites to other species on the earth.
Disaster is coming."
The meat sieve actually asked Xiang Liu to eat the Tula meteorite. Ye Qinghe was already disgusted with the monster, and now he was even more disgusted.
"In these years, Elder Banquan has used this method to plunder all the metal resources on the earth that Xiang Liu can sift out, and put them into the returnist plan to rebuild Mars." Elder Yan also said helplessly, "He
He did not violate any rules of the Elder Council, and Elder Cangxi was still recovering, so the Council of Elders turned a blind eye to his behavior. Unexpectedly, he actually intensified his efforts and wanted to cleanse the earth's species, using synthetic
Replaced by species of low intelligence!"
"Then the meteorites they collected are enough to refine the soil?" Ye Qinghe asked, not knowing that the reason why the poor earth was rubbed into this state by Xiang Liu was actually for the soil.
"The soil extracted from those meteorites is only enough to drive a small particle engine," Bao Xi shook his head and said, "But Elder Banquan is very good at instigating the people, and the information released to the public makes everyone feel that full-size particles
The successful development of the engine is just around the corner. That’s why the frenzy of refining the soil has been inspired by all Martians today.”
"As everyone knows, without the Earth's meteorites, unless we find alternative materials, the plan I proposed to the Elders Council to restart and develop an interstellar light-speed aircraft will probably be carried out by Elder Sakaizumi in disguise, and drained of the power.
Earth Energy, Action to Rebuild Mars.”
Listening to Elder Bao Xi's words, Ye Qinghe once again felt the horror of the overt and covert fights among the various factions in the Presbyterian House. As wise as Bao Xi and Elder Yan, without the advice of Elder Cang Xi, they were all struggling in the struggle in the Presbyterian House.
"Then is it possible for us to find alternative materials for meteorites?" Ye Qinghe asked with concern.
"There are several research groups currently studying this topic in parallel. The one most likely to make a breakthrough is the basalt research team on Mount Olympus," Bao Xi explained, "It's the experiments you saw at the landing station.
cabin."
"The basalt of our Mars, Olympus Mons? Is it most likely to replace the meteorites left by the asteroids on the earth and become the raw material for refining soil?" Ye Qinghe wanted to make sure that his understanding was correct.
"Yes, according to the current analysis data, although the iron content of basalt is not as high as that of iron meteorites, it is still possible to achieve it after further purification. And carbonaceous, another raw material for soil synthesis, is still carbon in our case.
When we were making biological organisms, there were a lot of raw materials in the vector library, and they were finally put to use after so many years.”
"That means that there is no ready-made soil that I can bring back to Earth. I have to wait for the results of the basalt refining experiment?" Ye Qinghe said a little disappointed. No wonder Elder Cangxi said that he needed time to prepare to return to Earth.
"That's right, and we don't have much time. If there is no breakthrough in the experimental results this year, I plan to initiate an escape strategy in the Elder's House to suspend the development of interstellar light-speed aircraft to check and balance Elder Sakazumi's wanton destruction of the earth." Bao Xiwei.
In the long run, we have to make a decision.
"There is less than a month left this year, which means we will have the results within a month?" Ye Qinghe thought of Ji Hebo who was still locked up in Mie Meng Gallery, and thought that he could still hide it in a month.
Live him.
Speaking of this, the three of them were relatively silent for a while. Elder Yan suggested that Ye Qinghe return to his nutrition cabin to rest early. After nearly a year of flying in the fire land, she was indeed extremely tired. Before the new carrier was ready, she should not be too tired.
Abuse the current body. So she said goodbye to the two elders, exited the Xinglin Residence, and walked towards her nutrition cabin.
On the way, she was thinking about going to Mount Olympus tomorrow morning, not only to see the situation in Hebo, but also to visit the basalt research team in the experimental cabin.
What she didn't expect at all was that her little calculation almost wiped out Shi Yiji's experimental results!
