Chapter 378 Climate Transformation

Chen Ming placed the sensor image sent back by the detection device flying to the sun in front of him and carefully observed the situation of the flare.

He could see the general shape of the flare, which was no different from an ordinary flare.

That is, a large amount of stellar matter was thrown out, forming a flare that could be directly observed.

However, this flare was abnormally bright, so Chen Ming’s current observation methods could not directly see the details of the flare.

And just when Chen Ming was about to send the detection device at the highest point directly to the vicinity of the star for a new round of high-precision detection.

The flare that was still on the surface of the star suddenly turned around and re-entered the star.

All the ejected stellar matter fell under the star and could no longer be observed.

Although this was a bit coincidental, the erupted flare, that is, the stellar matter ejected by the star, could indeed fall back into the star.

And as Chen Ming sent the detector to the vicinity of the star, scanning the star did not find any subsequent abnormalities.

Although it is said that due to the nature of the star itself, it is unlikely that any reconnaissance equipment can directly penetrate into the extreme depths of the star, but if we only look at the outer layer of the star, there is really nothing to doubt.

This seems to be just an ordinary flare.

Although Chen Ming's doubts are still lingering in his heart, he can only choose to leave more detection equipment to monitor this dim star.

As long as there are new changes in the future, he will be able to receive the news as soon as possible.

Chen Ming spent a little mental energy to install a large number of detection devices around the star.

At the same time, the exploration ships he sent to other planets for reconnaissance have also obtained preliminary reconnaissance results.

The conditions of those planets are similar to those of the Gaia planet that Chen Ming personally inspected.

Except for the outermost planet in the galaxy that is farthest from the star, the other planets were not originally frozen planets like today.

They are all affected by the lowering of the temperature of the star, which eventually formed the frozen appearance they are now.

Even Chen Ming's exploration ship found traces of life under the ice layer of a planet.

However, it is just a trace.

That planet is not like the real Gaia planet where Chen Ming is now, and it does not have such a strong ecological self-regulation ability.

After the planet was frozen, there is no living life on it now, and there is only death on it.

But even so, this planet is still a planet worth researching and developing.

The same is true for other planets in the galaxy.

Although it is not as rich in resources as the planets in the Origin Galaxy, whether it is the planet now covered with snow and ice, or the former planet under the ice and snow, it is a very good planet.

Even if there are no other frozen planets in the galaxy, the Gaia planet alone has attracted Chen Ming to develop this galaxy.

Chen Ming now has the Origin Galaxy as a colony before the wormhole.

Then of course there is also a place like this after the wormhole.

This is something Chen Ming had thought of before.

It was just when he entered the wormhole and arrived at the world after the wormhole.

He happened to encounter a black hole next to the wormhole, and there was a nightmare of the plane in the black hole.

The existence of a black hole is not enough. The black hole itself has a certain deterrent power. The exit at the other end of the wormhole near the black hole will also increase the importance of the origin galaxy in disguise.

The colony built by Chen Ming in the world behind the wormhole can only be a little farther away from the black hole.

But what he never expected was that the wormhole ran away directly after he solved the nightmare of the plane.

Originally, Chen Ming didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

But after reaching this galaxy faster than the wormhole and confirming the situation of the galaxy, Chen Ming felt that this was a good thing.

He could try to build a colony behind the wormhole here. Although the two colonies are actually separated by a universe in physical distance.

But they are actually equivalent to being in the same galaxy. This special situation brings additional benefits to both galaxies.

But Chiman is still unclear about one thing.

That is, since the wormhole is still moving, there is a possibility that the wormhole will continue to move after arriving at this galaxy.

If the wormhole runs away again, it will be very troublesome.

Of course, Chen Ming is not without a way, but it will take a little more effort.

But Chen Ming looked at the self-conscious Gaia planet where he was at this time.

When he was on Gaia, the whole planet was changing itself for his presence, just to make the planet's environment more suitable for his feeling.

He really had to find a way to protect Gaia and make it part of his colony.

This planet and galaxy deserved it.

Chen Ming didn't know much about climate modification technology, so he needed to find time to ask about it. It would take some time to apply this technology.

However, he had survived for several years to build a colony, so this was not a big deal.

Moreover, the consciousness of Gaia would definitely try its best to cooperate with Chen Ming to improve the planet's climate, and the effect of climate modification would definitely be shorter than expected.

And to be honest, this matter itself would not take up too much of Chen Ming's time.

All he had to do was record the detailed data inside the galaxy, and then send the data to a department in the empire called the Pan-habitable planet ecological environment department.

By the way, prepare some funds to support this department in climate transformation.

The rest is just waiting.

Anyway, the process is not important, someone will help Chen Ming prepare everything.

It's just that some people may need Chen Ming's help to take them to the now frozen Gaia planet to carry out the actual process of climate transformation.

That's also a small matter that can be done easily in the future.

Chen Ming did it as he thought of it.

All the data obtained by several exploration ships and star exploration devices were recorded and saved by him.

All the analysis data of the necessary climate conditions were recorded according to the requirements on the official website of the Ministry of Environment and sent directly.

The Ministry of Environment has a subordinate climate transformation department that has always been quite idle, and it is normal to accept external climate transformation tasks.

After all, there is no shortage of habitable planets in the empire, so the demand market for climate transformation technology itself is not large.

The only planets that really need climate modification are those that exist in galaxies with development value, whose climate conditions are not suitable for human survival, but have the need to land.

There are not too many such planets, and there are no tasks to do.

Whether it is a task assigned by the empire, a new colony built by a large company, or some wealthy individuals, at most one or two people come to the Climate Modification Department throughout the year.

So this department is basically supported by the empire's annual allocation of funds, and is specifically responsible for researching climate modification technology, and nothing else.

As a result, Chen Ming heard that they seemed to have been bored and started to study automated climate modification technology.

Relying on specially modified equipment or organisms, after being deployed, they can adapt to the ecological environment to improve the planet's climate.

It is said that their goal is to strive to transform all the planets in the empire that can be climate modified into habitable planets at a very low cost.

They also named this project the Seed of Life Plan.

At present, there is no word yet, and it sounds extremely unreliable.

But Chen Ming still decided to trust this department.

Of course, Chen Ming did not refer to the Seed of Life, but climate modification.

Although he had heard that climate modification was very difficult, and there seemed to be not many successful cases in the entire empire.

But after he carefully studied the technology of the empire, he found that there were fewer failed cases than successful cases.

Or it could be said that there were really not many cases in total.

Chen Ming himself did not use his authority, and he found a total of about 200 cases of environmental modification.

At first glance, it seemed quite a lot, but looking at the empire, 200 cases were really nothing.

Among them, there were more than 170 successful cases, 3 failed cases, and the remaining 20 to 30 cases were all terminated and not continued.

There was really nothing to say about such a project with a success rate of nearly 90%.

And he had no other choice.

The empire had only one official department that was engaged in environmental modification, who else could he find?

The environmental department responded very promptly.

After confirming the planetary data and requirements sent by Chen Ming, he called Chen Ming directly.

As soon as Chen Ming picked up the phone, the other party said directly: "Mr. Chen Ming, we have received your request. There are a few questions that need to be confirmed with you."

"The intensity of stellar radiation is at least one-third lower than that of stars of the same type. There is no specific data to explain the reason. Do you have any additional information here?"

It seems that the other party should be a researcher or something.

Chen Ming responded: "When I got there, the galaxy was already like this. I can only send you the integrated data based on the situation on the planet. I am not sure about the rest."

Chen Ming really didn't know the reason for the sudden change in the environment in the galaxy.

At most, he roughly inferred that the construction time of this underground ecosystem was about three years ago based on the snow accumulation and underground ecological conditions on the planet, and the time when the stellar light weakened was about five years ago.

Nothing else is known.

The only thing that is worthy of suspicion is the sudden flare that was just discovered.

However, he sent the record of observing the flare.

Since the people in the climate modification department didn't mention it, it probably wouldn't be an important situation.

Although the stellar intensity is very weak, it doesn't mean that flares are completely impossible. Maybe it's just an occasional phenomenon.

"I see. Next question, the planet you want to transform the climate already has a stable underground ecosystem. Transforming the climate may cause the underground ecosystem to collapse or have unpredictable consequences. This consequence is likely to be negative. We must inform you of this."

"At that time, we will also conduct an on-site inspection to determine the situation of the underground ecosystem and determine whether the planet is suitable for climate transformation."

Chen Ming seemed to hear a little arrogance from the professional on the phone.

It seems that he does not trust the results of Chen Ming's investigation.

Chen Ming also understands.

After all, he found out from his own investigation that the underground ecosystem only lasted for a few years at most, and the fusion of the entire planet's ecology only took a few years. It was hard to believe this.

What else can he say?

He could only say casually: "It doesn't matter, the underground ecosystem is stable and will not be affected."

People from the Ministry of Climate Change seem to want to say something and correct Chen Ming's remarks.

After all, in his view, climate change is inherently dangerous and will have an almost irreversible major impact on the planet's climate.

No matter what the climate was like on the original planet, the subsequent climate will undergo extremely significant changes, and it is normal to cause a devastating blow to the original ecosystem.

Therefore, almost all the planets they have carried out climate modification are planets that did not originally have ecosystems. No matter what the outcome is, there will be no impact.

And if it is a planet with its own ecosystem.

Whether you succeed or fail, the results can be disastrous.

But they really need customers now.

So even if there seemed to be something wrong with the data sent by Chen Ming, they did not correct it directly in front of the customer, but used a more indirect way to confirm it themselves.

When Chen Ming said something that was beyond their knowledge, they didn't express any reaction.

Anyway, they have to sign the contract in the end, and if there is any problem, they can’t be blamed.

The researcher affiliated with the Ministry of Environment on the other end of the phone endured what he thought was a question and said: "Last question, what do you mean when you say that 'the planet has extremely strong ecological adjustment capabilities'?"

"Literally, I have told you that you don't need to care about the original ecology. As long as you can find a way to restore the surface ecology, then do it."

The researcher really couldn't hold it any longer.

Ecological adjustment ability is an objective phenomenon determined based on the actual situation of the ecological environment. It does not mean that the planet can adjust its own ecological environment.

He really wanted to say this. But in order to prevent customers from running away, he didn't say anything.

Anyway, he has seen many things where laymen guide experts, and this one is no different.

Chen Ming could probably guess what the people at the Ministry of Environment were thinking, but he was too lazy to argue. Facts would prove him right in the future.

"Wait a moment."

The researcher from the Department of Climate Change suddenly sounded a little strange. He asked, "Is your name Chen Ming?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Is it that Chen Ming?"

"..."

Chen Ming was silent for a moment and did not respond.

But he heard some chaotic noises on the other end of the phone, as if there were several people busy nearby.

At this time, the office of the Climate Change Department under the Empire's Ministry of Ecology and Environment.

The research institute that was on the phone with Chen Ming just now muted the communication and looked at the computer of the colleague next to him.

It displays some publicly available information about Chen Ming.

Although it wasn't much, but combined with some of the rumors they occasionally heard, they found that it seemed that today was a big customer that they couldn't afford to offend, and this big customer seemed to be more capable than them in some aspects.

They can't understand it not because the person is wrong, but because they are too naive.

The researcher just now was almost crying when he spoke, and asked extremely anxiously: "What should I do?"

"Call the boss, he might have an idea."

After a while, the researcher just now suddenly changed to a new enthusiastic attitude, no longer the business-like attitude just now, and said to Chen Ming: "It's really you..."

"so?"

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Chen Ming, I want to ask you again, are what you just said related to psychic energy?"

Chen Ming did not pursue him and said matter-of-factly: "I'm not sure. First of all, I really don't know the status of the stars in that galaxy."

"Then I'm not sure if the planet itself is related to psychic energy, but I am sure that the planet is special. It has self-awareness and can actively adjust the situation of the planet."

The institute took a deep breath and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen Ming. The problems just now are all due to my lack of knowledge. They are all my own problems. We can help you with this climate transformation for free. Please understand. "

"It's okay, I don't care."

Having said that, Chen Ming would not really pursue anything until he was full.

The institute breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about what their boss had just said, and tentatively asked Chen Ming: "Can you please allow us to go to the planet you mentioned for a period of inspection first?"

"The galaxy you mentioned is rather special. It may take us some time to verify whether climate modification can be carried out."

"This... I'm very sorry. We really can't give you an accurate answer before we have contacted that planet."

"Alright."

Chen Ming didn't hear any problem in these words and agreed to their request.

Let the Climate Change Department prepare the necessary manpower and facilities, and he will send all the people to their destinations when the time comes.

Arrangements have been made for climate modification.

Chen Ming immediately moved on to the next thing seamlessly.

That is to find the survivor to continue the previous communication.

At the end of the last exchange, the survivors took the initiative to initiate a transaction request, but Chen Ming delayed it on the grounds that their empire needed to discuss it.

It’s time to reply to them with a result.

Chen Ming continued to stay underground on the Gaia planet. It can only be said that this planet felt so comfortable that he didn't want to leave at all.

He took out the communicator and said to the survivors: "We have already discussed the results here, and we can trade with you."

The survivors responded at the same speed as last time, but they did not directly mention the Empire's agreement to trade. Instead, they asked: "Is the person communicating with us still the same as before?"

"It's me."

"Okay, there is no change on our side. It's still me. You can call me Nano."

This Nano refers to the noun Nano in the Shining Civilization. If it is used as a name, Chen Ming should transliterate this word.

But transliteration is too troublesome. In order to save some brains, Chen Ming directly used the meaning of the noun translated from the Shining Civilization as a nickname for the survivor's "person" who claimed to have certain social skills.

After Nano gave his self-proclaimed name, Chen Ming also responded with his own name.

"Chen Ming."

After solving the problem of addressing.

Chen Ming went straight to the point and said, "Regarding the way we trade, the Empire has already made a preliminary plan, you can listen to it."

"If you have no objection, follow this. If you have any objection, you can raise it and we can discuss it again."

Chen Ming gave a more friendly attitude than last time, and the survivors certainly could not refuse Chen Ming's request to listen.

The specific form of transaction is also a form that other people in the Empire came up with.

In short, the initial transactions with the survivors are mainly technical transactions.

Both parties specify a technical direction for each other.

For example, physics, sociology, and engineering.

Then list a hundred technologies, select a certain number from them, and exchange them.

Of course, the specific scope is definitely not that large, but it must be refined to more levels.

For example, the more cutting-edge aspects of physics include computing technology, force field technology, particle technology, and other different aspects.

Choosing more refined technical aspects is helpful for trading the required technology.

Just talking about trading technology, it is indeed the Empire that makes more money, because the technology of the Shining Civilization is indeed stronger than that of the Empire.

So the survivors may not necessarily agree, and the Empire has also prepared a second plan.

However, the reply from the survivors saved Chen Ming a lot of trouble.

"No problem."

This should be regarded as their way of showing sincerity again.

When the number of transactions increases, the subsequent transactions will gradually become equal, and will involve more and more directions.

From technology to culture and society, this is an inevitable and foreseeable development.

As for whether such transactions will continue in the future, it depends on the specific situation.

In the first transaction, both parties had a special choice of technical direction.

The Empire chose the psychic theory of the Shining Civilization, while the survivors chose the Empire's statecraft and sociological technology.

Chen Ming felt something was wrong when he heard the technology the survivors wanted.

When he sent the technical direction of the transaction to the Minister of Civilization and Culture, which was expanded from the original Ministry of Culture after the Empire confirmed the existence of the survivors, the gloomy atmosphere and attitude over there seemed to explain the seriousness of the problem.

It is not like a friendly civilization to directly ask for the national policy of another civilization.

Although there are excuses to explain, such as the Shining Civilization is very curious about this aspect of the Empire because of its different political inclinations from the Empire.

But between civilizations, all things cannot be thought of in a good direction.

However, the face is not torn now. Although the statecraft is important, it does not mean that there will be problems if it is announced.

Before the real face-to-face relationship breaks through the bottom line, the Empire and the Shining Civilization will continue to trade like this.

The transaction with the survivors ends here.

But Chen Ming's time is still not done.

Not only the previous things, even after Chen Ming talked with the people from the Ministry of Civilization and Culture, he had one more thing to do.

The director of the psychic power institute still remembered Chen Ming's needs. In just a few hours, he helped him find a group of researchers to be selected and sent the list to him for review.

Chen Ming decisively accepted the file.

Before his wormhole reaches the information about the location of Gaia planet, he should finish the work quickly.

There may be a lot of things to do when the wormhole arrives.

The list of personnel given by the director of the psychic power institute seems to have been found by mobilizing connections, and there are people from all over the world.

But when Chen Ming saw the list at first glance, he only saw a name that made him a little unhappy.

The Fifth Legion.
