Chapter 385 High-Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation Beam
When Chen Ming's shuttle arrived at the outer space station of the wormhole.
He had already taken the initiative to announce the existence of planetary consciousness on Gaia.
Although the Empire had never discovered such an existence, this was not too secret and important to be announced.
Chen Ming's initiative to say it would actually promote research in this area.
After all, Chen Ming was really curious about how such a planetary consciousness was born.
So whether it was the legion closest to Chen Ming or the distant Fanchao Research Institute, or even some other organizations, they basically sent psychics to confirm what Chen Ming said.
After confirming the background of each psychic, Chen Ming basically let them go. As long as they were under his surveillance, they would let them do research.
The result was of course obvious.
The value of planetary consciousness and the specialness of Gaia itself was higher than the value of any planet ever discovered by the Empire.
So some psychics stayed with Chen Ming, and left some accompanying personnel.
They had to stay for a long time to conduct research.
These people always needed to be arranged for accommodation, and they couldn't always live in the spaceship dormitory.
Moreover, Chen Ming has not yet completely finished the climate transformation of Gaia.
It is not advisable to build too many buildings on the surface. At most, only some buildings that need to be landed for investigation or research can be built on the planet.
Therefore, whether it is outsiders or the climate transformation department and some other staff who are busy here on Gaia.
Most of them need to temporarily live on the other side of the wormhole opposite to the Gaia galaxy, in the urban area affiliated with the Origin Galaxy No. 1 Research Center.
Although the actual distance is not far, it is just a matter of going through a wormhole to the upper orbit and then going down the orbit, but it is always a bit troublesome to go back and forth in and out of the planet's atmosphere every day.
So someone applied to Chen Ming to expand the wormhole space station and transform the wormhole space station into a place where people can live temporarily.
Chen Ming is not an unreasonable person.
It happened that this wormhole space station has been running for a while, and its stability is basically no problem, so he agreed to this request.
The framework of the wormhole and the space station was isolated a little, and the wormhole space station of the Origin Galaxy and the wormhole space station of the Gaia Galaxy were modified, and a large additional area was expanded.
Chen Ming made some changes casually, so that people could live in it, and opened up the modification rights within a certain range to those who were qualified to live here, and equipped several robots.
They can make changes at will without affecting the framework, function and safety of the space station itself.
As a result, in just over a month, the wormhole space station has become what it is now.
Not only the wormhole space station in the Origin Galaxy, but also the wormhole space station in the Gaia Galaxy on the other side is the same.
I can only say that this is also good.
He has seen enough cold space stations, and an environment like this is more in line with his perception.
And this also gave Chen Ming an idea of the future planning of Gaia Planet.
He wanted Gaia Planet behind the wormhole to become a comprehensive planet and the real capital of this star field that belongs to him.
Gaia Planet's ability to regulate ecological climate can affect from macro to micro, and almost every corner can be taken care of.
It can almost be said to be the most suitable planet for human beings and all things to survive.
As a psychic, Chen Ming still uses a body created after birth, and can feel the positive effects of Gaia on him both physically and consciously.
For ordinary people, even if their perception is not so sharp, they can still enjoy the feeling that they have never had on other planets on such a planet.
So Chen Ming is considering making the functions of the planet more independent and making each planet more specialized in its own functions.
In simple terms, it is to truly turn Gaia, which has the No. 1 scientific research center, into a pure scientific research planet.
Treat Gaia, which is still undergoing climate recovery, as a planet that helps the next door to carry the population.
Although the population of the scientific research center is not even enough for one street now, it is always beneficial if the future direction is planned well.
There are wormholes in the galaxy, so that the Gaia galaxy and the Origin galaxy can be regarded as the same galaxy.
The convenience brought by this can be fully utilized.
The cultivation of technical talents is not only cultivated from people who are originally researchers.
It's just that it will take a long time, and it can't be seen in a short time now.
But Chen Ming thought so and planned to do so.
The reason was the same as he had always thought.
He needed a colony, or a colony group, or a star field that could continue to exist after he left.
Rather than an organization that would collapse directly without him.
This was what he wanted.
Chen Ming did not stay on the space station for too long.
There might be many people in the entire empire who did not pay much attention to current affairs who did not know his identity, but it was unlikely that no one would know him in his territory.
So he walked around the space station twice and left.
He turned around and took the shuttle he came in, followed the space station port inward, and entered the wormhole.
Passed through the wormhole and arrived at the other end of the wormhole.
A planet with almost transparent azure and deep azure appeared in front of him.
This is exactly what Gaia looks like now.
In two months, Gaia has returned to its former appearance from a snowball.
Gaia plants have grown in every corner of the planet, and every inch of azure is the external manifestation of Gaia plants.
And every piece of azure is proof that the ocean of the planet has regained its vitality.
The existence of Gaia plants can almost be said to have directly advanced the initial stage of climate transformation, which may have taken several months to a year, by 80%, allowing the climate transformation gas that originally took time to spread to expand to the entire planet at an unprecedented speed, penetrating into every inch of land and every drop of water on the planet.
Of course, the overall climate of the planet is still cold, and recovering from the severe cold is not just something that environmental transformation gases can do.
It also needs to cooperate in other aspects.
For example, returning the material in the ovum of the star-eating body to the star itself, and more work to be done by the environmental transformation department.
In the past two months, Chen Ming and the special star research project team of the Fanchao Research Institute have studied the egg sheath of the star-eating body thoroughly.
The return of stellar matter is more difficult than the absorption of stellar matter by the star-eating body.
The difficulty lies not in the way of return, but in the speed of return.
He needs to slowly release the matter in the egg sheath before it can be completely returned. It is estimated that it will take about half a year to completely return the stellar matter.
He still needs time to let this thing go slowly.
Of course, although it is said to be slow, in fact, the changes in the star are still very drastic,
so that the work of the environmental transformation department will be affected.
Although they have previous experience and the cooperation of Gaia planet consciousness, they only need to do it step by step.
However, the drastic changes in the state of the star require someone to monitor the state of the star at all times to adjust the specific implementation plan of the subsequent environmental transformation projects.
At present, about half of the staff of the entire climate transformation department are responsible for this matter, and the other half are studying the Seed of Life plan.
There is nothing wrong with doing this.
There are enough people left to do what they should do, and Chen Ming will not restrict them from doing anything.
It's just that the minister, as the general person in charge, needs to run back and forth frequently, busy with the Seed of Life Project and paying attention to climate transformation.
Chen Ming can see what the minister does. He wants to realize his ideals, but he doesn't want to disappoint Chen Ming's trust.
The result is that he has to run back and forth every day, and he can only stop and rest for three or four hours every two days.
His mental state is very poor, and he is even relying on drugs to support himself.
Using drugs is barely normal behavior.
When some research projects reach a critical environment, many researchers will take drugs to stay awake and highly flexible in order to complete them as quickly as possible.
Just like Chen Ming used a neural overclocker to ensure that his mental state remains good.
But it is definitely not possible to continue like this for a long time.
And the minister seems to be planning to do this for a long time.
If it weren't for the soothing effect of Gaia on the human body and consciousness, and if he occasionally took a nap next to the fairy tree for an hour or two in the name of research, he would have been unable to resist.
So Chen Ming simply acquiesced to his behavior, which was a small back door for him.
His purpose today was to come here to check the progress of climate transformation and the growth of the fairy tree.
The progress of climate transformation is obvious.
The planet's oceans have been completely thawed, and Gaia plants have covered the entire world.
If you don't pursue perfection, Gaia is now a habitable planet with a relatively cold climate.
But Chen Ming pursues perfection, so he has to continue.
Everything is normal.
As for the fairy tree.
As Chen Ming's shuttle left the wormhole space station of the Gaia galaxy, it gradually landed above the equator of the planet.
You can also see that the fairy tree, which was only half a person's height two months ago, has now grown to three meters, the height of a floor.
It may not seem too high, but compared to the past, the growth of the fairy tree in the past two months is obvious.
This is Gaia.
The existence of the fairy tree is good for it, so it will naturally feed the fairy tree in reverse.
Just as Chen Ming's shuttle approached the fairy tree.
He noticed that there was another shuttle docked near the fairy tree. It seemed that he had met Tian Zhan, who came to get the Gaia plant seeds given by the planetary consciousness at a fixed time every day.
This was also a matter that Chen Ming decided after communicating with the planetary consciousness.
After all, these seeds can be used to study the Seed of Life Project, and the composition of the seeds can also be used to determine the climate status of the planet.
Of course, Tian Zhan would actively run over to pick up seeds every day.
Chen Ming's shuttle landed next to the shuttle on the ground, and saw Tian Zhan standing under the fairy tree with a comfortable expression, but his mental state was obviously not very good.
"How are you recently?"
"Very good, never so good."
"I'm asking how you are?"
Tian Zhan's expression was slightly embarrassed, but he was unwilling to use part of his energy, which was now on the two things he was doing, to rest.
Chen Ming didn't have much to say, and as usual, he advised: "Take more rest. There is plenty of time to do the project. If you are about to collapse, you don't know how long you will have to rest. Now you will lose all the money you earn every day."
Tian Zhan could only give Chen Ming a somewhat stiff smile and said, "I know."
"And..."
Chen Ming suddenly reached out and plucked a handful of fairy leaves, put one in his mouth, and stuffed the rest into Tian Zhan's hands.
Tian Zhan looked at the fairy leaves that filled his hands and even some of them fell on the grass beside him, and said uncertainly: "This... is not good..."
Chen Ming pointed to the fairy tree and said: "It is willing."
Tian Zhan looked in the direction Chen Ming pointed, but he could only see the fluorescent white branches and leaves swaying in the cold wind.
Since Chen Ming said so, he couldn't refuse.
After meeting Tian Zhan.
Chen Ming did not continue to stay on Gaia.
But he took off on a shuttle and went to the next planet.
There are five planets in the Gaia galaxy.
One is Gaia, and the other is a frozen planet with a severe cold climate at the edge of the galaxy.
One of the other three has signs of life, but unfortunately, after Chen Ming began to return the stellar matter and the planetary climate gradually recovered, the planet did not recover, and the entire planet has lost its vitality.
The remaining two planets are ordinary planets with certain resources that can be developed.
Therefore.
Chen Ming arranged some mechanical races on one of the planets.
His idea is also very simple, which is to give the mechanical races on his hand a chance.
To be honest, the situation of the mechanical race is not very good.
Because their expansion speed is still not good enough compared to the Zerg, or it is not good enough at all.
The expansion of the Zerg is really too terrifying. Everything in the world can be swallowed, transformed, and become the cornerstone of the Zerg expansion.
And the expansion of the mechanical race, at least metal materials are needed to expand.
The Zerg around the Origin Galaxy has already expanded to a very terrifying extent.
But the development of the mechanical race can only be said to be that the mechanical colony that Chen Ming left behind as a bridgehead at the border of the empire has almost developed the galaxy, and by the way, the surrounding galaxies have also been slightly developed.
It is simply not comparable.
Therefore, Chen Ming thought about it and simply did not want that bridgehead.
Move the mechanical race away.
The significance of the bridgehead itself is to provide protection for Chen Ming to transport things to the empire.
But since Chen Ming can now maintain communication with the star gate on the legion side 24 hours a day, the significance of this bridgehead is not great.
On the contrary, it will be restricted in development near the empire.
It is better to bring the mechanical race to a new place, start from a mechanical colony planet, and develop from scratch.
The mechanical race alone will definitely not be able to compete with the Zerg, so Chen Ming also plans to merge the mechanical race and Yuhui.
Although the combined number of the two is still not as large as the Zerg, there will be some minor problems in labor resources, but Chen Ming has already thought of a solution.
And he really feels that the pace of Zerg expansion is too rough, and he really needs some refined development methods.
When the two colonies are completely stabilized and there is a stable rear area, it is time for him to officially start a new plan.
The mechanical race and Yuhui were the capital for Chen Ming to establish himself in the early days.
He would never give up the development in this area.
Chen Ming's purpose of this trip has been achieved.
Just when he was about to return to the No. 1 Research Center, a phone call suddenly came.
Chen Ming picked up the phone and talked to the person in charge of Fan Chao who called him.
He probably knew that Fan Chao was going to hold a technical conference.
It seems that there is progress on the Dyson Sphere project team.
Since Chen Ming brought back the body fluid of the Star Devourer, the Dyson Sphere project has been put on the table again and was taken over by the Anti-Super Research Institute.
As far as Chen Ming knows, they have a psychic who can quickly carry out and complete a scientific research project.
Just like before, after Chen Ming proved the conflict between the phase space and the scarlet dimension, Fan Chao made a device that can send a small space station into the phase space in one day.
Fan Chao can research this large-scale phase space technology in one day.
I didn't expect that it would take two months to develop Dyson sphere technology.
Although Chen Ming didn't know the ability of the psychic, the Dyson sphere project seemed to be really underway.
The reason for calling him over was also very clear, to optimize the equipment made by Dyson sphere technology.
Chen Ming would definitely go and see this kind of thing.
Although his Zerg can devour planets as energy, they cannot devour stars.
Even though the queen can make Zerg units secrete star-eating fluid, allowing Zerg warships to enter the shallow layer of stars for a period of time, it is not enough to devour and transform the energy of stars.
Planets will be gone if they are eaten, so the existence of Dyson spheres is still valuable.
"I'll be there later."
After giving this reply to the person in charge of Fan Chao, Chen Ming hung up the phone and thought about what else he had to do.
So he took out the communicator with the survivors.
He hadn't used this thing for a while.
Since Chen Ming discovered the Star Devourer, and the survivors took the initiative to expose that they found Chen Ming discovered the Star Devourer, and exposed that they had secret surveillance in some places.
There was not much communication between Chen Ming and the survivors.
The survivors did not seem to have any action, and quietly made two transactions with the Empire.
In the two transactions, the Empire took away the survivors' battleship-level ship design technology and energy weapon design technology.
And the survivors took away the Empire's painting art technology and music technology.
Nothing else happened.
The survivors seemed to be a little more honest.
Thinking of this, Chen Ming felt that he seemed to have no reason to find the survivors for the time being.
So he put away the communicator again and prepared to go to the Fanchao Research Institute.
At the same time.
The survivors' space station.
The communicator that communicated with Chen Ming was quietly placed on a somewhat rusty metal table.
In the darkness of the space station, a voice said: "Chen Ming still hasn't contacted us. He doesn't need us, but we need him to find us."
In their estimation, if another civilization finds a small group of people left behind by a completely decayed civilization.
Not to mention trying every means to find them and plunder them, at least they will try to get something out of them.
In this way, they will have the opportunity to create a situation that is favorable to them.
But who would have thought.
Human civilization is as aggressive as no civilization, as if it doesn't care about them at all, and continues to trade once a month according to the agreement between them, and nothing else.
It can only be said that after all, the most critical communicator is in the hands of Chen Ming, and Chen Ming doesn't move every day.
At most, he sent out some spacecraft to conduct very shallow reconnaissance of the surrounding galaxies, and would not get involved in any danger, at least not before his colony stabilized.
This led to the dilemma of the survivors today.
They are thinking about whether there is any way to make Chen Ming ask for their help or have some ideas about them.
More voices than last time came out of the darkness of the space station: "We need to create opportunities for contact. The more contact we have, the greater our chances."
"Most of the guardians exist in planetary orbits or dormant on the surface. His current reconnaissance method will not trigger the guardian reaction mechanism at all."
"Even if it is triggered, it will not pose a threat to him."
"The human empire is almost catching up with us in some aspects, relying on the ruins left by our civilization."
"Which guardian can withstand the attack of those biological warships, take the initiative to attack, and still pose enough threat?"
The space station fell into silence.
At this time, the survivor codenamed Nano, who was responsible for communicating with Chen Ming, said: "Ghost."
Three days later.
Chen Ming cooperated with the empire to complete some experiments and modular equipment optimization work of the Dyson Sphere Project.
Even if the empire did not look for him for this kind of thing, he might take the initiative to join in the fun.
By the way, Chen Ming also roughly listened to Fan Chao's plan.
It can only be said that everyone involved in the project has a lot of ideas.
There is not even a shadow of a genuine Dyson sphere, but there is already a Dyson sphere plan in a habitable galaxy that may be theoretically feasible.
Because the Dyson sphere is a giant device that completely covers the star and confines all light to the Dyson sphere for conversion into energy.
If a Dyson sphere is to be built, the galaxy will become like a star-eating body, or even worse.
Therefore, the location of the Dyson sphere must be a galaxy with few resources and no habitable planets.
The theory of the habitable planet Dyson sphere.
When building a Dyson sphere, it is not to completely cover the star, but to leave a track at the intersection of the star and the galaxy's ecliptic plane.
In most galaxies, the planets in the galaxy exist on the ecliptic plane of the galaxy.
So as long as a track is left on this interface that allows the star's energy to continue to be emitted, all the planets in the galaxy can normally receive the light they can receive.
Although this will result in lower energy output of the Dyson sphere, it can allow habitable planets in the galaxy to continue to exist, which is a means to increase resource utilization.
It was indeed a good idea, but it was a little too ambitious.
However, the Empire and Fan Chao were not carried away, and decided to advance the Dyson Sphere plan step by step from the basics.
The Empire's actual implementation of the plan had nothing to do with Chen Ming, and he didn't want to have much to do with it.
The more you enjoy, the more you have to bear.
Everything he touched would be controlled by him, and he didn't want to bear the responsibility of maintaining the Empire's Dyson Sphere.
So he ran away and returned to his own world.
Anyway, when the Dyson Sphere plan goes smoothly, he will find a way to make this thing himself.
It's just that it's hard to say how long it will take.
And just a few hours after Chen Ming arrived at the Origin Galaxy, he received a piece of news that he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
Near the Gaia Galaxy, the stars in the neighboring galaxies where he sent fleets to detect and left reconnaissance devices appeared with special high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beams.
