Global Travel: Empire of Stars

After leaving the Academy of Sciences, Lin Zhichen flashed to a gaseous planet and threw fist-sized World Tree seeds onto the planet.

The seeds pass through the roaring gas and sink into the depths of the planet. The specially prepared seeds are so hard that they cannot be damaged by strong impacts or extreme high pressure.

Passing through the layers of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium, and falling into the depths of the planet, the Earth's core is made of rock and metal, and is extremely hard under the compression of gravity.

The seed fell on the core rock formation, as if it had sensed a suitable living environment. After a short stay, the solid skin cracked, and a sapling quickly stretched out and broke out of the shell. Its roots were inserted into the core of the earth and fixed, extracting the ubiquitous energy. Liquid hydrogen and helium serve as nutrients to grow.

Plants alienated by gene editing technology grow at an alarming rate, with roots and branches shuttling like giant pythons. Under the endless supply of energy,"417" rapidly expands like a balloon, growing from small tree buds in just a few breaths. It only takes a minute for a sapling to grow to a height of one meter, and it will grow into a tree several meters tall.

For most plants, such a height is already the limit, but the World Tree Orchid is the crystallization of biogenetic engineering. It is a bioengineered space giant structure. Since it is a giant structure, largeness is a common feature of this type of creation..

In just one day, this tree has grown to a height of more than ten kilometers. Its roots have penetrated the core of the earth and spread into a forest with a radius of thousands of kilometers.

A week later, the entire planet's core will be enveloped, reaching a height of more than 1,000 kilometers at its highest point. A month later, the giant tree will reach a height of more than 70,000 kilometers, and the canopy of the tree will have extended beyond the gaseous planet.

Looking at the gaseous planet at this time, it was already wrapped in dense forests, and the entire planet turned into a giant forest.

Fruits of different colors are clearly visible hanging on the giant tree, making them easy to find and pick.

Lin Zhichen soon discovered the secret. These spherical fruits with a diameter of more than 1 kilometer grow on branches extending out according to specific positions. These branches have no leaves and extend straight into space. , rows of fruits grow in neat positions.

Some details of the plants created by manual editing technology reflect human thoughts, such as the location where these fruits grow, which is convenient for human transport ships to pick and harvest.

He used his spiritual power to pick off a huge fruit and looked at the orange-yellow fruit carefully.

The outer skin has a texture similar to that of a tire. It is flexible, wear-resistant and elastic. It has a shock when it is patted. Obviously, this special material and structure can prevent the fruit inside from being damaged. Even the thick peel, which is about an inch thick, It is also a high-quality civilian material that can play a role in many aspects.

After tearing open the peel, a natural fragrance came to his nostrils. He looked over and saw light yellow rice grains the size of fingertips embedded in a honeycomb-like structure.

Huangya rice, an excellent rice species cultivated by the empire, has the potential to transform into a psychic plant. Obviously, the types of food Li Murong chose were also carefully selected.

Just this one fruit and the huge amount of yellow sprouted rice inside are enough to feed tens of thousands of people for a year.

Lin Zhichen continued to look at the various fruits growing on the World Tree Orchid. In addition to rice, wheat and other grains, there are hundreds of different fruits, with flavors covering the needs of all types of people.

What surprised him most was that in addition to staple food and fruits, various livestock meats actually grew in the fruits.

There are the most common pork, beef, mutton, and donkey meat, as well as tigers, bears, and even other unique animals on the living planet.

It is not a complete domestic animal. What appears in the peel is fresh meat. The fresh meat produced by just one fruit is enough to consume tens of thousands of people.

Not only animal meat, but also poultry meat such as chickens, ducks and geese, various freshwater fish and marine fish, etc., and even some edible exotic animal meat.

It can be said that if you do not choose spiritual food, the output of World Tree Orchid is enough for most of the people of the empire. The most important thing is that the output in this way requires almost no cost. The benefits of the application of biotechnology are here. , the cost is almost all in the early scientific research, and the cost in practical application is almost negligible.

Lin Zhichen only took one World Tree seed, but when the World Tree grew, he found 1,000 mature seeds deep in the planet, on the trunk soaked in liquid hydrogen and helium.........

If these 1,000 seeds are planted, there will be 1,000 World Trees in a month, and then 00,000 new seeds can be collected.

In order to prevent the leakage of technology, World Tree will only produce a batch of seeds. If necessary in the future, it can be activated through genetic technology to regenerate a batch of new seeds.

"The output of World Tree Orchid has limited market value, but its strategic value is extremely high."Following a transport fleet, Cornelia, who got the news, quickly came to a conclusion after seeing the World Tree and checking its output:

"There is no shortage of ordinary food in the empire now, and the prices of agricultural products are extremely low, all based on profit from quantity.

If this food is put on the market, it will not sell for much money and it will disrupt the market, so its greatest value is the food reserve."

In the empire, because of the abundant survival resources and prosperous life, the citizens do not favor ordinary food. Only psychic food is very popular, and the supply is almost in short supply.

"It's also good to make a reserve."He nodded. The World Tree Orchid has already considered long-term storage when designing it. It does not require any equipment. It can be stored at room temperature for more than 5 years just by relying on a special peel. If the equipment is intact, In the warehouse, the storage time can be easily extended by 5 or 6 times.

"I think of a best place to go 2.1, which is the colony in the center of the galaxy. Cornelia suggested:"Most of the immigrants have hard-working qualities, and their living conditions are not a big problem. These foods eliminate the disadvantages of domestic transportation.""

"Then pick a few galaxies and plant them, and in a month the food problem in the galactic center region will be solved."He watched the transport ship slowly approach the ripe fruit. The drone passed by and cut off the pedicle of a fruit. The invisible gravity beam swept across, ingested the cut fruit, and quickly loaded it into the cabin.

Because All the fruits grow intensively, and the transport ships harvest them very quickly. It takes thousands of ships a few hours to return fully loaded.

On the broken fruit base, a fruit is expanding rapidly. It only takes a day to harvest. A new batch of fruits will grow again..
