Reborn little broken ball, I can mod myself

An hour and a half later.

The spacecraft slowly landed on a land full of red gravel.

Mars!

This is one of the eight planets in the solar system and the fourth planet from the inside out. Its diameter is only about half that of Lu Yuanxing.

On the surface, this is a desert planet, with sand dunes and gravel all over the surface, and water sources are quite scarce.

There is an atmosphere on Mars, but it is mainly composed of carbon dioxide. It is thin and cold. A large amount of sand and dust are suspended in the atmosphere, resulting in frequent sandstorms.

For humans, such a living environment is too harsh. It should not even be called a living environment, but a "desperate situation."

However, this is not a problem for the ants.

When he decided to let the ants enter space, Lu Yuan installed a separate [Directed Species Evolution] module for the ants.

This module belongs to the same category as the previous [Species Evolution], but compared with [Species Evolution], its use is simpler and clearer, and the results are faster.

But correspondingly, its scope of application is also narrower.

[Directed Species Evolution] allows a selected "creature" race to undergo one or several rapid evolutions in a short period of time.

Of course, this evolution is not a special evolution like the emergence of superpowers - when a creature has superpowers, it is actually somewhat separated from its own race, and the evolutionary span is huge.

And this so-called "creature race" is the race displayed on Lu Yuan's panel, that is, Lu Yuan's human race, machine race and ant race.

There are only these three.

The evolutionary direction designated by Lu Yuan for the ant tribe is "adaptation to low-oxygen or even anaerobic environments."

Although ants are insects, this does not mean that they do not need to breathe oxygen.

On both sides of their abdomen, there is a row of small holes called spiracles, which are like human noses and can suck air into the body.

Then, it compresses and expands the small trachea in the head and chest to quickly perform periodic breathing.

Therefore, if ants are in an oxygen-free environment for a long time, they will also be suffocated to death.

The main gas on Mars is carbon dioxide, and the content of oxygen is extremely thin.

According to the information sent back by the mechanical clan, the atmosphere of Mars is 95.3% carbon dioxide, 2.7% nitrogen, 1.6% argon and 0.15% oxygen.

This is obviously an extremely harsh living environment for both humans and ants.

Taking this into consideration, Lu Yuan installed this module for them.

This module does not directly give them the ability to survive in this harsh environment, but allows them to evolve the ability to adapt to this harsh environment faster!

The mechanical tribe, which set off first, has already made some advance preparations for the ant tribe here.

They followed the pattern of an ant nest and built a huge underground base here for the ants to survive.

Underground, the oxygen content is much higher than above ground.

Coupled with the transformation of the mechanical tribe's technology, the ants can have a transition period underground.

As for food, Lu Yuan prepared hyphae with extremely strong reproductive capacity for the ants in advance.

These mycelium are also modular products, which can automatically absorb nutrients from the land and form a carpet, which not only reproduces quickly, but is also rich in nutrients, fully sufficient for the survival and development of the ant tribe.

This is much more comfortable than fighting life and death on Lu Yuan Planet to get a little bit of food.

As for the so-called "nutrients", it even includes minerals!

In other words, this is a strange crop that can grow by "eating rocks".

Ma Yi is also quite satisfied with this.

He became the so-called king of the ant colony, not for the purpose of being king and hegemony, but to be like a man superior to a man, an ant superior to an ant or something like that.

At first, he just wanted to live.

But now, he wants to keep his people alive.

That's all.

But his previous identity, education, and responsibility all made him not want to be an enemy of humans.

Now that there is a way to solve this problem, it is still such a perfect way. It is too late for him to be happy!

The ants quickly entered the ground and found the carpet.

The bacterial blanket at the beginning was actually only a little bit, less than the size of a human palm.

But after the mechanical tribe planted them, it took only a week for these bacteria blankets to grow.

They are centered on the place where they were first planted and spread to channels in all directions.

Now the total coverage area has exceeded one thousand square meters!

Of course, it is actually a bit difficult for this area of ​​mycelium to feed the current ant tribe.

However, mycelium reproduces very quickly, just like duckweed in a pond. After being thrown into a piece, it will spread soon, and the larger the base, the faster the spread.

The place where the mother plant of the fungus carpet is located is the core of the ant base.

The mechanical tribe left a communication device here and some maintenance robots.

The Mechanical Tribe prepares the Ant Tribe to make some deals.

The machinery family belongs to the real "heavy industry" and has very high requirements for metal minerals.

After all, more than 99% of the things in their race are mechanical creations.

Although the resources on the moon are large in quantity, their types are relatively simple.

Nowadays, with the development of the machine race's technology, relying solely on the resources mined by the machine race on the moon has become a constraint.

So they set their sights on Mars.

According to calculations by mineral detectors, the metal minerals on Mars are much richer in type and total amount than on the moon.

Among them, there is a red gold ore which is a relatively rare mineral.

According to [Fire] records, this red gold ore naturally has a strength of A10, which means that the strength of its natural ore has almost reached the strength of the hardest alloy on earth.

The strength of iron ore is only A3 grade.

Under the processing of the mechanical family, A10 grade red gold ore can even reach B7~B9 grade.

This is almost the pinnacle of materials used by a first-level civilization.

The higher one is only B10 level.

The importance of red gold mines is self-evident.

So they entrusted the ants to help mine and find red gold ore and other minerals.

They come regularly to collect.

In exchange, they can provide some technical support to the ants, such as transforming the Martian environment to make Mars more suitable for the ants to live, etc.

Lightning Blue soon left Mars on the Glorious Cyber.

In fact, he was a little confused. Since the red gold mine was so important to them, why didn't the leader directly occupy Mars instead of giving it to the ant tribe?

He didn't know the specific reason, but he vaguely knew that the great existence that reappeared the mechanical tribe seemed to be the backstage of the ant tribe, and even the backstage of the Lu Yuanxing human race!

Since Mars is assigned to the ant tribe, it can only belong to the ant tribe, and the mechanical tribe has no reason to interfere!
