Chapter 724 Transaction Completed
Meng Chuan pressed the button on the communication device.
There were no earth-shattering sounds, nor dazzling lights.
The Stardust's communicator suddenly emitted a faint buzzing sound.
Immediately afterwards, a steady yet spacious voice rang out in the cabin.
The sound was exactly the same as the one I heard outside Mars orbit last time:
"We have received your signal, representative of Earth civilization."
Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan's expression changed slightly.
Sure enough, Earth's location was revealed.
These previous observers clearly did not know that Meng Chuan came from Earth.
The phrase "representatives of Earth's civilization" is enough to show that they have a great deal of understanding of Earth.
This made Meng Chuan glad that he chose to provide live animals.
If Meng Chuan were merely giving a perfunctory answer, he would likely not gain the approval of these observers.
Meng Chuan took a deep breath and spoke into the communicator:
"As agreed, I have agreed to share with you. To show my sincerity, I can bring you 'samples'. Their memories contain the civilization data you need—social structure, conflicts of interest, traces of technological development... detailed enough."
Without any pleasantries or small talk, Meng Chuan directly stated his intentions.
Meng Chuan believes that, given the level of civilization of the observers, reading human memories should not be difficult.
The observer's voice rang out again, tinged with a barely perceptible hint of "curiosity":
"Your sincerity has exceeded our expectations. Your willingness to provide a biological memory model meets our observation needs."
"Then how should I provide you with live specimens?"
Meng Chuan asked.
Meng Chuan's Stardust can only carry three people, including the pilot.
The cargo compartment does not provide oxygen.
This is also to maximize the Stardust's transport capacity.
"Because Earth's gravity and oxygen are extremely harmful to us, we cannot go directly to Earth to take away living things. You can transport people to your transit station, and leave the rest to us."
The observer's voice came through.
Meng Chuan's eyes lit up.
Goodness, that statement reveals quite a bit of information about them.
No wonder they don't dare to go directly to Earth to capture people.
It turns out it's due to oxygen and gravity.
Just as oxygen is not suitable for all life.
Earth's gravity might be too much for aliens to withstand.
Perhaps their technology is advanced and their minds are intelligent, but their bodies may not be as robust as those of life on Earth.
Just like the human body can survive on land.
However, in the deep sea, it will be crushed into slag by water pressure.
But fish in the deep sea can ignore the pressure of the water.
"Okay! I'll transport the person to the transit station later."
Meng Chuan nodded.
"To show our sincerity, I can offer you some technology first."
The observer seems very magnanimous.
It was as if they were certain that Meng Chuan would never dare to break his promise.
The moment he finished speaking, the main screen of the Stardust suddenly lit up.
The dense stream of data rolled like a waterfall.
Meng Chuan was slightly excited; the transaction had begun.
From basic physics formulas to complex engineering drawings, there are even a few videos labeled "ecological transformation".
Yingdie leaned closer to the screen, and when she saw the parameters for the "high-efficiency oxygen generator," her eyes widened in surprise:
"It consumes only one-tenth the energy of existing equipment on Earth, yet produces thirty times more oxygen! And... it uses carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere as its raw material?"
The carbon dioxide molecules are broken down and rearranged to transform into oxygen.
A carbon dioxide molecule consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms bonded together by covalent bonds (its structure is O=C=O).
This oxygen-generating device breaks carbon-oxygen bonds through a chemical reaction.
The oxygen atoms recombine to form O molecules, thus achieving the transformation.
Moreover, it is even more efficient than photosynthesis.
The one thing that is most abundant on Mars is carbon dioxide.
With a large number of such devices, carbon dioxide can be continuously converted directly into oxygen.
In this way, it won't be long before Mars has plenty of oxygen.
At that time, all we need to do is transfer some Earth creatures to Mars.
They can adapt to growing on Mars without any modification.
This is of great significance for the terraforming of Mars.
Meng Chuan's gaze fell on another set of data.
"The manufacturing principle of pulse rifles".
Looking at the simple design of the weapon on the blueprint, Meng Chuan said with some excitement.
The gun body is made of a high-temperature resistant alloy unique to Mars, and the muzzle is marked with "Energy Beam Temperature: K".
The note next to it reads: "Capable of penetrating 100mm homogeneous steel armor, with an effective range of 5000 meters."
This pulse-type rifle has no recoil.
Damage is inflicted on the target by releasing a concentrated beam of energy.
In other words, as long as the energy beam device is intact, it should theoretically be able to fire continuously.
There's no need to worry about running out of bullets.
This is practically a weapon tailor-made for Mars.
And that's not all.
Meng Chuan swiped the screen to bring up a 3D model.
"This is a 'miniature nuclear fusion reactor'."
Shadow Butterfly exclaimed in shock.
This device is only the size of a shipping container, yet its output power is enough to power a medium-sized city.
With it, the Martian arsenal could be freed from the limitations of solar energy.
Yingdie's finger slid rapidly across the screen, from "Superconducting Material Synthesis Formula" to "Underground Shelter Seismic Design Drawing".
Every technology is like a key that unlocks areas that humanity has never explored before.
She suddenly smiled and turned to look at Meng Chuan:
"What the observers have given us is enough for us to gain a foothold on Mars."
Meng Chuan nodded.
But Meng Chuan knew that wasn't enough.
These are just the "base".
The observers want data on civilization, while Meng Chuan wants the confidence that humanity can survive.
"We look forward to the biological prototypes you provide. If they satisfy us, we will follow up with technologies such as space battleships."
As the observer was speaking, the communication equipment was lost.
"Let's go, let's head back."
Meng Chuan said to Ying Die.
At the same time, Meng Chuan raised his hand and pressed the communicator, connecting with Zhan Yi on Mars:
"Battle One, prepare to receive technical data. Prioritize starting the production lines for oxygen generators and pulse rifles; the arsenal must operate at full speed."
Mars, underground castle.
Zhan Yi had no idea what Meng Chuan was talking about.
But the next moment, a large amount of data can be transmitted to his device.
Looking at the scrolling blueprints on the screen, Zhan Yi's dark face flushed red.
Besides being a martial arts expert, Zhan Yi is also skilled in some technical fields.
This is also why Meng Chuan allowed him to stay on Mars permanently.
"Brothers, perk up! The troupe leader has brought us some 'treasure'!"
Zhan Yi ran out and shouted.
Fifty technicians responsible for weapons manufacturing gathered around, and when they saw the exploded diagram of the "pulse rifle," they were all stunned.
"The gang leader is truly a god! How did he manage to obtain all these theoretical gadgets?"
"No matter how you got them, all of you work overtime to thoroughly understand all the principles and put them into production as soon as possible."
