The Wandering Planet

After returning to his warm little home, Qiao Lu opened his system again and began to think about what kind of science and technology should be added to the wandering earth.

Due to the participation of Dr. Grace's scientific research group, the Wandering Earth has actually mastered the spirit transfer technology that RDA applied in the Avatar program.

This technology allows humans to temporarily transfer their minds from one body to another, which is how Dr. Grace manipulates her avatar body.

It's basically an advanced VR game, except you're controlling another body in reality.

But unlike the more advanced soul transfer, there is no way for the mental transfer to achieve the operation of changing a body.

While operating another body, the original body of the operator will feel hungry or even in pain. Once the body is threatened with life, the mental transfer will be forced to end, and there is no way to play the role of reincarnation.

This ability makes people want to apply it in military applications, such as finding ways to use mental transfer to create an army of clones or robots to achieve a true army that is not afraid of death.

The problem, however, is that an army of clones or droids is possible without mind-transfer technology. Human clones can have their own minds, while robots can be controlled by artificial intelligence.

What the mind transfer technology overcomes is just an ethical problem, not a real scientific and technological problem.

If I have to say it, it will greatly increase the cost. If each clone or robot needs to be equipped with a cockpit and operator, the advantage of mass production of this kind of troops will be lost.

So what changes this technology can bring to the military is still up for debate.

Regarding the technical difficulties of creating an army of clones and robots, the Wandering Earth has not yet been broken through.

So aside from this acquired technology, what remains is the technology that Qiao Lu needs to consider exchanging.

The first is the special research project of [Neural Interface] obtained from the Na'vi, which, as the name suggests, is the technology of how to connect human nerves to other objects.

Whether it is used to manufacture prosthetics or to enhance the operability of powered exoskeletons, it is a very practical technology.

Coupled with the active cooperation of the Na'vi people during the research process, the exchange of this technology originally cost 5,000 civilization points, but now it has been reduced to 3,000 civilization points.

With such a big discount, it was impossible for Qiao Li not to choose to exchange.

After Qiao Li aimed at the special research project [Neural Interface] and pressed the "Accelerate Research" button, 3000 civilization points disappeared from his balance like running water.

Although the earth did not seem to have changed until the 3000 civilization points were deducted, from the last Chinese solar event, it seems that the system should trigger some special events to accelerate the research of this scientific research project.

Just lie down and wait for the news.

After redeeming the [Neural Interface], Qiao Lu's civilization points remained at 7045 points.

The two major projects [Awakening the Earth] and [Soul Transfer] don't need to be thought about, but there is indeed a final project for Qiao Li to exchange.

That's the [Antimatter Dynamics] research project obtained from RDA's Venture Star spacecraft.

Special Research Project: Antimatter Dynamics

Project Description:

From the wreckage of the Startup Star's engine, our scientists have discovered a miraculous antimatter annihilation chamber fragment. According to inference, this volume only accounts for 0.5% of the total system volume, but the annihilation cabin provides more than 95% of the star's interstellar navigation power, which can be said to be a very powerful driving method.

Our scientists have been able to create antihydrogen atoms, but how to use them for spacecraft power has always been an unsolvable problem.

This project may help us understand how to build antimatter annihilation chambers, so that the next time our navigator space station sets off, instead of carrying another 300,000 tons of fuel, only a few kilograms of antimatter.

Research and development needs: wreckage of Venture Star, debris of antimatter annihilation cabin

Accelerate scientific research: 7000 civilization points are required

Unlocked items: Antimatter Mass Production I, Antimatter Pulse Weapon

Note: This technology leads to the synthetic evolution route, which will increase the tendency of Wandering Earth by 7 points of mechanical technology, and has a chance to trigger an antimatter arms race.

It seems that this project is only the lowest level of the huge antimatter technology tree. After researching this [Antimatter Power], there will be [Antimatter Mass Production I] and [Antimatter Pulse Weapon] in the future. something to come.

Another thing to note is that there is a chance of triggering an antimatter arms race in the precautions.

It sounds terrifying, after all, the last nuclear-based arms race was called the Cold War, and it really pushed the world to the brink of destruction.

And this time, it's still more powerful antimatter, so it's strange that it doesn't make people nervous.

But Qiao Lu thought about it, there is only one coalition government left on the wandering earth at present. Even if an arms race is triggered, it is only an internal competition of the army, and it will not involve a confrontation between two great powers.

So what's there to be afraid of? As a government that is sensible enough to abandon itself to implement the Tinder plan at a critical moment, how could the Coalition Government allow the Wandering Earth to be destroyed by its own weapons?

Therefore, Qiao Lu also clicked the acceleration button of this project without hesitation, so that 7000 civilization points were turned into [antimatter power] technology and loaded onto the wandering earth.

As a result, Qiao Lu's 10,000 civilization points from the previous world will only be spent on 45 points.

But there is nothing to regret. Enhancing the strength of Wandering Earth also increases the chips on hand. As a special dribbling and crossing boss, the problems he has to face cannot be solved by personal strength.

The wandering earth is his most powerful weapon.

After clicking on these options, Qiao Lu returned to the main page of the system and found that there was a new column of technological preference on the panel of the Wandering Earth.

【Technology Tendency】

Mechanical: 62 (50)

Variation: 10 (10)

Harmony: 6 (1)

(In parentheses are the basic values ​​of the wandering earth)

Technological inclination means that civilizations are more keen to develop technology in that direction.

Machinery, as its name implies, is the development of industry and machinery.

Mutation is to achieve its own development by changing genes and evolution.

The most special thing is Harmony, which neither develops itself through machinery nor mutation, but seeks to absorb the power of nature, including things like True Qi Force and Psionic Energy.

In addition to researching special projects, certain events can also change a civilization's technological propensity.

For example, the China Sun Project has added 5 points of harmony tendency to the wandering earth, which Qiao Lu did not expect.

Each tendency to a certain level will lead civilization to a racial sublimation route, such as synthetic evolution, control of genes, and the unity of man and nature.

Of course, these three tendencies are not completely in conflict with each other, so it is not impossible for me to have all of them.

It all depends on how far Qiao Li and Wandering Earth can go.
