Chapter 506, The Power of Life (Part 2)
In the clouds as high as 10,000 meters, the crowns of towering trees are as huge as a mountain, and the dense branches and leaves form a green world, bringing a breath of life to this barren world.
Among these dense leaves, fruits began to appear. These fruits were very inconspicuous at first, but soon, these fruits swelled up like balloons, like bunches of grapes. Many fruits crowded together, one bunch after another, and the diameter of each fruit was frighteningly large, with a diameter of more than ten meters.
After growing to more than ten meters, these fruits stopped growing. There seemed to be power accumulating inside. The surface with a metallic luster seemed to be constantly stretched by something, and it seemed to explode faintly.
"Boom!"
More than an hour later, loud noises overwhelmed the thunder in the sky, and huge fruits began to explode continuously. Seeds were like cannonballs, shooting out in all directions in the air at a very fast speed. When they fell to the ground at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, they were already hundreds of kilometers away from the giant tree.
Soon, in the red world, a little bit of green continued to emerge, and a new round of crazy growth began. Towering trees rose from the ground, forming an extremely large forest.
The dense atmosphere on the planet began to become sparse, and the red earth became a world covered with green. Heavy rain continued to fall into this forest.
Rivers began to appear on the planet, streams converged into rivers, rivers converged into large rivers, and rivers converged into lakes and oceans. The temperature of the planet dropped, the water vapor in the sky began to become scarce, the atmosphere became thin, and the light from the stars finally shone on the earth of the planet again.
Everything that happened on the planet YX003 was watched by Li Shukuang and others in space. Looking at the brand new planet in front of them, everyone had a proud look on their faces.
"Haha, we perfectly integrated the genes of the towering tree, the genes of the primitive algae, and the genes of the explosive fruit and other plants. The super towering tree we created is really amazing. It can grow in such a harsh environment and change the environment of this planet in a very short time."
Li Shukuang looked at the blue planet outside and laughed happily. In the development of biotechnology, gene recombination technology is the fastest-growing field. Various plants and animals created by gene recombination are beginning to shine.
"It's a pity. If we can get the genes of silicon-based life, if we can integrate silicon-based genes into it, we can completely create plants and animals that grow in space. At that time, even if there is no air or water on the planet, we can still create an oasis."
Yan Jia said with a little regret. The empire has developed to the present, and there are citizens of the empire in the entire galaxy. These people will naturally help collect various information and materials, etc., and they will also collect various genes.
However, the empire has not yet found any organisms containing silicon-based genes. Almost all organisms in the entire galaxy are carbon-based life.
Through the Heart of Life, the scientists of the empire are very clear that silicon-based genes are much more powerful than carbon-based genes in adapting to the environment. Silicon-based life can better adapt to the environment of the interstellar universe.
"We haven't discovered silicon-based genes yet. Otherwise, if we cultivate mother genes, we can evolve various silicon-based genes. Then we can try to combine carbon-based genes and silicon-based genes, or try to study triple helix genes."
Speaking of silicon-based genes, Li Shukuang also seemed a little excited. He had too many experimental ideas and research directions in his mind. Every time he watched the Heart of Life interpret the mystery of life, he could get a lot of inspiration and answer the confusion in his mind.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I think it's almost time to carry out the second step of transformation."
Yan Jia shook his head and looked at the planet. The world composed entirely of towering trees began to collapse.
On the planet, the first towering tree dropped from space seemed to have stopped growing at its roots, and began to carbonize and harden. On the huge tree crown, huge leaves began to fall off one by one and fell to the ground. Soon, the originally dense tree crown became a bare piece.
A strong wind blew, and the tree that was originally as solid as a pillar supporting the sky began to shake, and then soon began to tilt and collapse. The earth was shaking continuously, like a comet hitting, and a huge earthquake occurred.
Everything about these super-tall trees has been carefully planned. The genes that determine growth and life span in their genes are restricted, and they can only divide a certain number of times. Once the number is reached, they will begin to decay and die rapidly.
The trunks with a diameter of hundreds of meters stretch across the land, looking like an extremely tall city wall. These trunks contain huge energy, just like coal and oil. They absorb a lot of energy and accumulate it. After death, they directly form something similar to coal and oil, which can be used directly.
The formation of coal and oil requires a long period of precipitation, but now, under the powerful biotechnology, everything can be completed in a very short time. The trunks of fallen giant trees can be used as coal and oil, but with the current technology of the empire, such low-level energy is not needed at all.
"Boom!"
The big trees began to fall one after another, and the earth was shaking constantly. In the end, only the latest generation of big trees were still growing, but these big trees did not have the function of reproducing the next generation. The gene for reproduction was also locked. After a few generations, they completely lost the function of reproduction.
One after another, spaceships fell from the sky from space. These spaceships kept flying on the planet. At the same time, countless seeds began to be sown at the tail of the spaceship. This time, the seeds sown were no longer the seeds of towering trees, but various plant seeds.
After a few hours, all the towering trees had fallen, but the earth did not become barren. Instead, it began to be more vibrant, and various plants began to appear on the earth.
The originally black land was covered by green grass, various flowers began to bloom, and trees continued to grow in it. Grass, shrubs, forests... Even in the newly formed ocean, various marine plants began to flourish.
Various vines climbed on the trunks of super-tall trees, and the trunks with metallic luster were slowly covered by the green world. Perhaps billions of years later, these trunks were buried deep in the soil, and one day in the future, they would be dug out again as energy.
A planet that was like the end of the world a few days ago has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few days, turning into a world full of greenery, birds and flowers, and a planet suitable for life.
If such a huge change is only transformed by conventional means, the first thing to do is to build a space solar energy launch mirror in space to launch the light from the stars to lower the temperature on the planet first.
Then use chemical or physical means to reduce the density of the atmosphere, reduce the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, and let it fall to the ground to form lakes and oceans. Finally, find a way to reduce the content of toxic gases in the atmosphere, and then put some original life seeds down to slowly transform. The time spent in the whole process will take at least several decades.
But now, using powerful biotechnology and the powerful power of life, just need to put the powerful plants recombined by genes on the planet, and the speed of planetary transformation will be accelerated by more than a billion times.
Super towering trees withstand the worst environment at the beginning. The strong roots and dense leaves constantly absorb the heat from the earth and the air, and accumulate this heat to form things like coal and oil. These things can be used directly and can reduce the temperature of the planet, thus forming a cooling effect.
The temperature on the surface of the planet drops significantly, and the water vapor in the air naturally turns into water and falls to the ground, which provides water resources for the growth of plants and so on, and at the same time forms rivers, lakes, oceans, etc. on the planet. With these, the planet has the ability to mobilize temperature by itself.
Finally, various genetically recombined plants were placed on the planet. The growth genes and reproduction genes of these plants were strengthened, and they could grow as fast as towering trees in a very short time, so that the plants could cover the entire planet.
The whole transformation process only took a few days, and a brand new life planet appeared in everyone's vision. Looking from space, there were still some areas with dense clouds on this originally cloudy planet, but most of the places had become very clear, and you could see the vast ocean and the vast green world on the land.
"Life is the greatest power in the universe. A world without life has no meaning."
From beginning to end, Li Shukuang witnessed and promoted the earth-shaking changes that took place on this planet. Looking at the blue planet in front of him, which began to emit the halo of life, he couldn't help but sighed.
