When the five Su Zhe and Si Wenbo appeared again, they were already inside the Second Earth.
What appeared in front of several people was a blue ocean. Unlike the oceans on Earth, the curvature of this ocean surface is just opposite to that of the Earth's ocean surface.
The latter is convex and the former is concave.
The sea is blue, the sky is blue, and there is a sun in the sky.
There are seagulls flying over the sea, and fish can also be seen swimming in the sea.
Su Zhe and the other five looked here and there.
After a while, Zuo Dajun said: "Except for the curvature of the sea surface, everything else is the same, there is no difference!"
Si Wenbo smiled and said, "There are some differences. The sun in the sky is what we simulated. Of course, the sunlight is not produced by this sun... Everything else is pretty much the same. It can be said that there is no difference."
Bao Qizheng looked around and asked, "How high is the sky today? How thick is the ground?"
In addition to Su Zhe and Hao Yi, Xu Zhengping and Zuo Dajun also looked at Si Wenbo curiously.
Si Wenbo smiled and explained: "The sky is five thousand kilometers high and the earth is one hundred kilometers thick... At the core of the Second Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 1,800 kilometers, which is the energy core of the Second Earth. and proton fusion devices and related equipment."
Zuo Dajun thought for a while and asked uncertainly: "Our current location is one hundred kilometers away from the surface of the second earth?"
"Almost, it can be understood this way." Si Wenbo nodded and said, "This part can be regarded as the crust of the Second Earth. The sphere in the center is the core of the Second Earth. The magnetic field maintains stability between the core and the crust."
While talking about this, the height of the few people continued to decrease, and finally hovered at a height of ten meters above the water.
From this height, you can clearly see the fish swimming in the sea.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said, "The environment here is probably the same as the surface of the earth. I couldn't have suddenly lost my temper just after I lifted my invincibility."
"Absolutely impossible. The environment here is almost the same as the environment on earth. How can it be possible to burp?" Si Wenbo said confidently.
"Then let's all lift the invincibility and let's swim in the sea together." Zuo Dajun looked at the few people with a smile.
After several people nodded in agreement, the bodies of the six people began to fall. In just an instant, the six people had fallen into the sea.
After splashing in the sea water for a while, all six people floated on the sea.
Zuo Dajun said while playing with the water: "Yes, yes, this feels exactly the same as in reality. The air here is also good, and it smells a little sweet. If the Second Earth really reaches such an environmental level, it would be amazing." "
Fan Xiaoming floated on the sea and said, "It's not a big problem."
Si Wenbo said from the side: "What we pursue is the same environment as on the earth. If we can't achieve the same, it means nothing."
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "There has been debate over the direction of human development in the universe for some time. Some people support changing human beings to adapt to the environment of the universe. Some people support changing the environment of the universe to adapt to the survival of human beings. Finally, we still support changing the environment of the universe. Take advantage."
Leaving aside technical issues, it is not easy to go down the road of simply changing human beings to adapt to the cosmic environment.
There are too many possible environments in the universe.
It is taboo to transform humans themselves in order to adapt to these environments.
As time goes by, it is inevitable that human beings will differentiate.
It cannot be said that humans who have physically changed are no longer humans in the strict sense.
If these alien humans develop, they will become a threat to humanity itself.
Rather than changing humans themselves to adapt to the cosmic environment, changing the cosmic environment to adapt to human survival is the right way.
Even if humans in different regions develop, even if there is conflict, it is still a matter between humans, and it is difficult to do something shady.
If it were those aliens, there would be no concern.
Zuo Dajun smiled, "I know this.
There is something wrong with the brains of those who support the transformation of human beings. Are the changed humans still humans? The environments in the universe are not only different, but they cannot be exactly the same. This means that there will be many strange and strange human beings. As time goes by, the universe will be in chaos. "
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "Now such voices have completely disappeared. Again, transformed humans are no longer human beings. Alienated humans are very dangerous."
Si Wenbo said seriously: "Changing the environment is the right path for mankind. As for different environments, we can remotely control humanoid bionic robots to do things. Transforming human beings is causing trouble for ourselves and digging holes for mankind." "
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said to Zuo Dajun, who was still splashing in the water: "It's good to experience it. We don't have much time, let's go see other places."
At this time, Fan Xiaoming floated from the water into the air, which meant that Fan Xiaoming returned to his invincible state.
Then, Su Zhe and others floated from the sea into the air.
Zuo Dajun asked with a smile: "What is the topography of this second earth like? It can't be set casually, right?"
Si Wenbo smiled and said: "How is it possible? The topography of Second Earth is copied according to the proportion of Earth, even if the names are the same, the purpose is to make the human beings living on Second Earth and Earth Human beings can have a common sense of belonging.”
"That's right! So where are we now?" Zuo Dajun asked with a smile.
"The middle of the Pacific." Si Wenbo said seriously, "The reason why it is called the Second Earth is because it replicates the Earth to the greatest extent. It can be said that if you put the ancients on the Second Earth, they would not be able to distinguish it. Different."
Zuo Dajun looked left and right, up and down, and said with a smile: "If the Second Earth in reality could achieve such an extent, the ancients would really not be able to tell the difference."
After saying that, the six people disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were already on the top of Mount Everest. The difference was that it was dark here.
There are countless stars in the sky, as well as the half-moon hanging in the sky.
As soon as he appeared, Zuo Dajun was relieved of his invincibility. He stood on the top of the mountain, having difficulty breathing, his face turned pale from the cold, and said tremblingly: "In reality, I have never been to the top of Mount Everest. I can't. No, I feel like I’m going to burp soon.”
When Zuo Dajun's face turned from white to red, Zuo Dajun couldn't hold on any longer and immediately returned to his invincible state.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "I fell down due to freezing to death."
"I'm not a fool! Why do I have to suffer this?" Zuo Dajun looked up at the sky and said, "This half moon and these stars are all simulated."
Si Wenbo nodded and replied: "Yes, the simulation is still the starry sky on the earth."
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "The name Second Earth is so appropriate."
A few people disappeared on the top of Mount Everest, and then looked at plateaus, plains, basins, hills, mountains, etc.
The last few people stopped in the Antarctic sky.
Several people looked at the vast expanse of white, and Bao Qizheng said: "It is still difficult to maintain the ecology of the entire Second Earth, and it can completely replicate the ecology of the Earth. It is not too difficult at all."
The earth's ecology is inherently complex, and it is even more difficult to replicate the earth's ecology.
Si Wenbo nodded and said: "There are difficulties, but the problem is not big. As far as current science and technology are concerned, apart from the fact that there is no successful proton fusion device, the rest are also some engineering problems. It is only a short time to realize it. It’s a matter of time.”
"Second Earth, Second Earth, okay! We can completely drive the Second Earth to wander in the universe. This image is exciting just thinking about it." Zuo Dajun said with a smile.
Si Wenbo smiled and said, "Don't think about it, this will definitely happen in the future. The first second Earth we created will be kept for our research purposes, and the second one will leave the solar system at the beginning. When we encounter enough resources, Or after entering a new star system, the Second Earth will be copied... This process will be repeated until the Second Earth covers the entire universe."
They have great expectations for the Second Earth
see.
We hope that the Second Earth will bring mankind and human civilization to fill the entire universe.
Fan Xiaoming reminded with a smile: "You'd better build the Second Earth first. As for whether it can be replicated, it depends on the research of the relevant departments. To be honest, a Second Earth contains our entire human civilization. If If you're not careful, it won't be fun. Anyway, we still have to be cautious."
Si Wenbo nodded and said seriously: "It is right to be cautious, but I am sure that the relevant departments will agree to our plan in the end. What Second Earth is building is the second home of mankind and a powerful tool for rapidly increasing the human population. The relevant departments There is no reason to abandon our plan."
Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "This is the principle, but it is estimated that it will take a long time to implement this plan. After all, it will take many years to take shape of the second earth. To be exaggerated, this is building a second earth, and it will not be completed so quickly. Yes, it will take more than a hundred years no matter what."
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming smiled and said nothing.
Si Wenbo quickly explained: "It will take less than that long to build the Second Earth. According to our calculations, building the first Second Earth is slower and takes ten years, and the subsequent ones will be faster. Just these ten years." Year, we should overcalculate, maybe it will be faster."
"Ten years!" Xu Zhengping was shocked, "That's right! Now is not the past. We can't use past experience to look at the present."
[In view of the general environment,
Now that the design is assisted by the virtual universe and artificial intelligence, the process is extremely fast.
The real waste of time is the extraction of resources and the specific construction of Second Earth.
This is also relative to the design process.
After all, automation and intelligence have now been realized. As long as there is enough energy and resources, things like production lines and industrial robots can be continuously replicated.
In other words, as long as energy and resources allow, productivity can continue to improve.
Zuo Dajun was a little excited, "We will be able to see the built Second Earth in reality in ten years. This is too fast. I have some expectations now."
As they spoke, the few people disappeared into the sky of Antarctica again. When they reappeared, the six people had arrived at the core of the Second Earth.
It is a shimmering sphere with a diameter of 1,800 kilometers.
The six people looked at the sphere. Si Wenbo explained: "This sphere is the core of the Second Earth. The computing power and energy required by the Second Earth are provided by this core. As for the core of the core, it is the proton fusion being built. Device. Second, the energy consumed by the earth every day is staggering, and only nuclear fusion can provide it. Under normal circumstances, this sphere stores a lot of hydrogen-1. According to calculations, when the storage is full, these Hydrogen-1 can sustain the operation of Second Earth for one hundred years."
"One hundred years is too little!" Zuo Dajun said, "The distance between stars is often hundreds of light-years, and one hundred years is not enough!"
Si Wenbo smiled and said: "One hundred years is long enough. Besides, this is just hydrogen-1 stored in the core. During the journey of the second earth, hydrogen-1 can be collected. After all, there are at most 100 in the universe. Hydrogen-1, if you encounter extreme circumstances and hydrogen-1 cannot be collected externally, it doesn’t matter. We still have oceans, and there are still many hydrogen-1 in our crust and atmosphere. If we use these, the Second Earth It can still run for millions of years, but in the process, the ecology of Second Earth will be destroyed. As time goes by, the animals and plants on Second Earth will disappear, and the lakes and oceans will also disappear."
"This...if this really happens, humans on the second Earth will probably kill each other." Zuo Dajun said, "In the end, the hydrogen-1 in the human body will probably be extracted."
If we really cut off the possibility of obtaining hydrogen-1 from the outside of the Second Earth, there may not be any changes at first.
But as time goes by, strange things will appear.
The operation of the second earth relies on energy, and the source of energy relies on hydrogen-1.
It is foreseeable that as time goes by, the hydrogen-1 in Second Earth will only become less and less.
Fan Xiaoming smiled, "In fact, nuclear fusion is not just about hydrogen-1. Most light elements can fuse to release energy. As time goes by, controllable nuclear fusion technology will only become more and more advanced. As for the Second Earth, There should be no problem with maintaining the material volume for tens of millions of years."
Su Zhe nodded and said, "That's right. The current controllable nuclear fusion technology has just started. Don't forget that there is dark matter and dark energy. Besides, energy is just transferred, not lost. If we understand matter, Because of the nature of energy, it is not impossible for energy to circulate forever.”
Xu Zhengping smiled and said, "Well! With the continuous advancement of science and technology, it's really hard to say what will happen in the future, but what is certain is that as long as we don't seek death, human beings will only get better and better."
"Nothing wrong." Fan Xiaoming said and looked at Si Wenbo, "Let's go into the core of the second earth and see what it's like."
Si Wenbo smiled awkwardly and said, "That... No, the core of the Second Earth is still under design. It will not be finalized until the proton fusion device is successful, so... there is actually nothing in this sphere."
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming smiled, said hello to Si Wenbo, and ended their visit to Second Earth.
