章 126: Chapter 126: Magic on the Snow Planet
"When you arrive on this planet, you will be amazed by its pristine whiteness. It is truly a snow planet, a white snow princess, a cold and proud queen, a realm worthy of life's admiration."
The universe is vast, and there are many planets covered in ice and snow, but most of them are incredibly violent.
However, Sharka is remarkably calm and serene, like a virgin's tranquility.
The planet boasts a pure white sky, pure white land, pure white ice, and pure white life.
As far as the eye can see, everything is pure white. Perfectly intact, large hexagonal snowflakes drift down from the sky. If you open your mouth and eat one, you'll taste a refreshing sweetness. The water on this planet contains a natural mineral sweetener, different from the one extracted from coal. This sweetener has no unpleasant odor.
A silver-white triangular fighter jet tore through the sky, its body creating terrifying friction with the thick atmosphere, generating immense heat that melted the ice and snow in its path, producing vast amounts of water vapor, and forming a long line connecting the sky and the earth.
All of this happened within 3 seconds. The fighter jet had instantly decelerated and landed smoothly on the snowy ground.
The fighter jet was named Snow Owl, and its sleek design resembled a swallow with half-spread wings. It was 34 meters long, with a wingspan of 37 meters, a height of only 8 meters, and a thinnest point of just 3.6 meters. At the front of the aircraft, there was a two-person cockpit, somewhat similar to the cockpit of 21st-century fighter jets, but with the pilots sitting side by side instead of front to back.
The cockpit was connected to the interior cabin by a very narrow shaft. The cabin was spacious, covering an area of 17 square meters. It was luxuriously furnished with a sofa, a toilet, and even a bedroom with two hibernation pods, resembling a compact version of a one-room apartment.
At this moment, Yan Xia was sitting on the sofa, with Ella, who had taken the form of a human, sitting opposite him. She looked very young, and if she wore a school uniform, she would be a deadly cute girl, the sweet and innocent type.
"KB23-D, this is the Snow Planet."
Ella spoke, and as she looked at the aircraft's cabin door, it opened with three beeps.
"This place is very suitable for human habitation. There's no need to wear any special equipment. Don't be fooled by the heavy snowfall; the temperature is only -21 degrees Celsius."
As the cabin door opened, a gust of cold air rushed towards Yan Xia.
-21 degrees Celsius didn't feel cold to him; it was just pleasantly cool.
He took a breath and felt no strain. The oxygen concentration here was likely above 25%.
"Are we staying in the suburbs?"
Yan Xia looked out through the cabin door and saw no buildings.
Ella stood up, led Yan Xia out, and said, "No, the Snow Planet is not within the development zone."
"The ecological circle here is extremely fragile. The entry of industrial technology may cause irreversible damage to the environment."
Yan Xia was taken aback by her words.
He was surprised to hear the term 'environmental damage' from Ella. Even if they damaged the environment here, repairing it would be a simple task for them.
"So, do the organisms here have any special characteristics?"
Yan Xia thought he might have an idea. His best subject was biology, and he was very interested in this.
"Not at all!" Ella nodded and scooped up a pile of white snow from the ground.
"The snow on the Snow Planet is rich in various mineral elements. Almost all life on this planet absorbs these minerals for survival."
"Just as carbon-based life forms absorb oxygen, the life here does the same, and the source of oxygen is this snow."
"These life forms use minerals and water as their energy sources. To compete for these resources, the life forms on this planet engage in mutual slaughter, and eventually, one species rises above the rest and dominates the planet."
This species has not evolved to have intelligence, nor do they possess any wisdom.
Ella used a holographic projection to show Yan Xia this life form.
Surprisingly, it was hideous!
It was a worm-like creature resembling a sea slug, with a body length of only 30 to 34 cm. Unlike sea slugs, these creatures had no skeleton, but they were vertebrates with a spine running through their entire body. However, they had no ribs, and they relied on the bending force of their spine to move by jumping. They could jump up to 20 cm, earning them the title of 'jumping-far-salted-fish'.
This creature was called 'Hideous' due to its two mouthparts located at the front end of its body on both sides, with a sensory organ in the middle. Inside these mouthparts were layers of fine, molar-like teeth, which ground the ice and minerals in the snow, making them easier to digest.
On the back of their bodies, they had two rows of six openings that could open and close. When facing an enemy, they would arch their bodies like the letter 'N' and direct these openings towards the enemy.
Then Ella played a simulation of this creature's hunting behavior.
Yan Xia was instantly amazed.
These creatures could spray hydrogen at high speed from their openings and use the static charge carried by their mouth bristles to ignite the hydrogen, creating a flame attack.
"Life Magic?"
Attacking with physical flames, and it was the result of natural evolution. It was beyond imagination.
But upon closer inspection, it wasn't that difficult. Life forms could produce hydrogen, such as some anaerobic bacteria on Earth. By collecting hydrogen inside their bodies and then spraying it out at high speed, it was very easy to ignite the hydrogen. The charge within the hydrogen was very unstable and easily exchanged with other substances, creating static electricity.
However, this high speed required tremendous pressure, and achieving 100% success was impossible. Therefore, this creature had evolved to have brush-like structures inside the openings, which, when dried, carried static charges, resulting in an 87% success rate for flame attacks.
Don't underestimate this 87% success rate because there are six openings, so it's almost like a 100% success rate.
Yan Xia didn't think this was difficult to achieve. The most important thing was ensuring the power of the attack.
If it was just a flame that could be produced with a lighter, then what was the point of modifying the life form?
"This life form is an inspiration."
"Almost all life forms in the current Federation have quark robots, which means they can produce hydrogen within their bodies without difficulty."
As she spoke, Ella opened her mouth wide and then spat out a ball of flame.
This wasn't cool; it was more like a circus trick.
"In fact, these quark robots can perform nuclear fusion and fission without any issues. The only problem is that they can't withstand the power, and releasing it would be like committing suicide."
"Then how can this power be controlled?"
"Using a stronger binding force to control the required energy is too large, and it's not as practical as using mechs."
"So, spraying it out at high speed is a more ideal method."
This high speed was not the same as the speed of the life forms on the Snow Planet. The speed Ella was referring to was 99.921% the speed of light, which allowed the energy jet to be directed in one direction without reflecting back and harming the user.
Ella turned away from Yan Xia, facing her back towards him, and then waved her hand forward.
Yan Xia immediately saw a terrifying energy beam form in front of Ella, more than 3,000 meters away. The diameter of the energy beam reached 100 meters, and as it swept across the sky, it covered a distance of 70 kilometers before dissipating in mid-air. On the Snow Planet, it created a straight canal 31 kilometers long.
"This energy is just the result of the fusion of 1 kg of deuterium. There are some difficulties in achieving this. Not only does the deuterium need to be accelerated, but it also requires the assistance of an instant high temperature to initiate the thermonuclear reaction. I currently use lasers, which need time to catch up with the particles in front, so the release distance is slightly farther."
Many technologies originate from inspiration.
The life form on the Snow Planet provided the inspiration for Ella to create 'magic' for the first time.
This was for Yan Xia's service. He couldn't know if he would still be himself after becoming a mechanical life form, so he always maintained his physical body. However, his physical body was very fragile, so Ella had been working on enhancing its defensive and offensive capabilities.
If this technology could be made more controllable, it would provide infinite possibilities for individual physical life forms.
Yan Xia felt that the era of physical ascension for the Federation of Civilization might have already begun.
