Chương 381: Organic Harvester?
Just when the saliva of these experts was flying, informatics expert Li Zhendong stood up and expressed a different opinion.
"Professor, please don't get too excited. Why am I a little skeptical, enlightener civilization, let's just use this name... Is it really a civilization full of goodwill?"
He spread his hands and questioned: "The Riley civilization is a very ancient religious civilization. A brilliant culture, including writing and language, has been born a million years ago. It has indeed been stagnant for a long time. It has been in a stable If it goes on like this, it is very likely that there will be no progress. But what is the purpose of the enlightener civilization planting the 'world tree', can it promote the development of Riley civilization?"
"You know, this species can trigger a mass extinction!"
"I even think that we have over-interpreted this incident. The enlighteners just want to use all the carbon elements on this planet to use the World Tree to turn them into organic matter similar to coal, and then harvest them all at once."
"We already have the relevant common sense of the universe. Organic matter is more valuable than ordinary metals in the trading market! For more advanced civilizations, as long as the earth's nuclear resources can be mined, metal elements are completely inexhaustible. Including various rare earth elements, they abound in the depths of the earth's core. But organic matter is different, there is only a thin layer on the surface of the planet, and there is no need for more!"
"Using such biotechnology to collect organic matter is more cost-effective and more effective!"
He said with great emotion: "It's really a big deal, a big deal to harvest one planet at a time! Maybe not just this one, but... countless planets! Including the former Earth, but the plan on Earth may not have succeeded That's all."
There will be silence in the conference room for a while. Zhang Yuan even felt that his hairs were standing on end, from kindness to evil seemed to take only a moment.
Soon, Li Zhendong's conjecture caused even more shocking waves!
People are unanimously thinking, if this civilization is really "evil", then...
Did they do anything to humans, to the earth?
There will be eerie silence in the meeting room for a while.
The biologist hesitated for a moment, and argued: "I still feel that the enlightener civilization is full of goodwill towards the Riley civilization. Professor Li, if you want to implement this kind of civilization that lasts for millions or even tens of millions of years The plan should choose a carbon-rich planet to conduct experiments, right?"
Li Zhendong nodded, "Indeed...the starting point is very important."
The biologist continued: "However, the carbon element content of Riley Star is not high, just slightly more than that of the Earth. According to your statement, you should choose a planet similar to Venus, whose surface is full of carbon dioxide. Only then can the benefits be maximized. Why would the enlightener choose Riley Star? It's totally uneconomical!"
Li Zhendong blushed and said loudly: "They may also have arranged countless planets. There is no need to consider whether it is cost-effective. It's like we use a large planter to sow seeds in the field. It doesn't matter whether the seeds can germinate or not. , as long as you can grow plants. It doesn't matter if the harvest is a little less, would you think about the harvest of a certain wheat plant?"
"But why hasn't the earth been harvested? And Venus, Mars!"
"Because this kind of plan can't be 100% successful, is the alien species wiped out by the native species? Or maybe it's a climate disaster that wiped out the alien species! Oh, by the way, you don't think the evolution of life in Australia is very strange Is it? Maybe it was done by aliens?" Li Zhendong's brain was wide open.
"Professor Li, species in Australia, there are fossils from millions of years ago, and the time node is not right."
While the two were arguing endlessly about this, Zhang Yuan suddenly said: "Listen to me first, first of all, if the civilization of World Tree is transformed, it is really the 'enlightenment civilization' that Gliese civilization has encountered. , Judging from their actions, there will be no particularly serious malice."
"Because the Gliese civilization has clear written records, the enlightener let them know the existence of science and the existence of electricity."
"Secondly, if you want to use biotechnology to fix carbon elements, use the most reproductive microorganisms, such as algae, which are much more efficient than World Tree?"
"If this civilization is really strong enough, it shouldn't be a problem to develop such microorganisms, instead of tall plants like World Tree. Although the final effect is the same, the efficiency is undoubtedly lower by more than a little bit."
Li Zhendong was thoughtful, but did not speak, which is hard to explain. If it is forcibly determined that more advanced civilizations cannot develop such microorganisms, it will only make people laugh, and even he himself does not believe it.
Everyone gradually calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.
If an interstellar civilization wants to mine materials, there is absolutely no need to adapt to local conditions and modify the genes of local species.
"If it has great malice, it can directly develop one or more kinds of super microbes, wipe out all the animals and plants, and then reproduce without restriction. There is no need for the Rileys to keep them alive, and cause variables for nothing."
In this way, the efficiency can be tens of thousands of times higher than that of a simple world tree. The species extinction plan that World Tree can take tens of millions of years to complete, using super microbes, may be able to complete it in hundreds of years...
Zhang Yuan said again: "Actually, everyone, if you think about it carefully, I still think that the enlightener has a certain kind of goodwill. The world tree in this world is not necessarily bad for Riley civilization. "
"First, the World Tree provided a lot of food and living space. At least in ancient times, with a shelter from the wind and rain, the possibility of starving to death and freezing to death was much less. Without the World Tree, their population would be less Many, the development of civilization will be more difficult, how can it be as comfortable as it is now."
"Secondly, the world tree provides very good building materials. The performance of this kind of tree core is comparable to that of steel bars in the 20th century, and it is not easy to rot or be oxidized by air. This kind of biological material is placed in the 20th century of human beings. Or in the 21st century, it can still be used!"
"It should not be difficult for everyone to understand how much convenience this will bring to development. Whether it is infrastructure or building houses, even steel bars can be saved."
Many people nodded, what a great advantage it is to have a high-performance material that can replace steel when civilization is underdeveloped.
Steel is the cornerstone of a civilized industrialization. The industrial process of almost all industrialized countries starts with large-scale steel smelting. Without steel, there will be no other industrial products, no high-rise buildings, no guns, vehicles and ships.
If "steel" can grow in the ground in the early stages of civilization development, the convenience is of course self-evident.
"Oh, by the way, there is a third point. Because of the appearance of the world tree, more carbon elements have been fixed, and more fossil resources have appeared in the whole world! If the Riley civilization has really developed modern technology, I will definitely be grateful These fossil resources. Who wouldn't want to have more fossil fuels in the early stages of civilization development!"
"This is a great gift from heaven. If the civilization of the earth does not have fossil fuels, can it develop modern civilization? No! It can't even produce the first industrial revolution!"
