Chapter 351 Mutant Humans
Chapter 351 Mutant Human
Food crisis!
The second month and eight days after leaving Kodo Space City and building the new Kodo Space City, it was also when Liu Fei and Simmark were having a virtual fighting match. The food crisis that has always been worrying was put on the table.
In Lao Keduo Space City, the grain reserves are very large. Even if there is no merchant ship to replenish the food for the space city, the food in the space city can be supported for at least two years.
Two years only refers to the consumption time of reserved food. In fact, there is a modern three-dimensional farm in the Kedo Space City that can convert human excrement into fertilizer, and then convert it into food needed by humans through photosynthesis of green plants, and convert it into food through this cycle.
Because it is located in the vast space, for hundreds of years, Kedo Space City has a strong sense of crisis in terms of grain production and reserves. Although Kedo Space City is a space city, in fact, the agriculture of Kedo Space City is quite developed. The Space City has a complete scientific research team. This team not only involves agronomists, but also mechanics, materials scientists, optics and electronics scientists. Among them, there are a large number of farmers with practical experience. With the wisdom of these people, some scientific and technological achievements have been transformed. The crop planting and production of Kedo Space City has been completely automated, and the food varieties are very rich. Although it is not completely self-sufficient, it is difficult for the outside world to sanction Kedo Space City through food.
Some experts have said that with the science, technology, financial and material resources of Keduo Space City, if it encounters external threats, it can build a huge agricultural base in space in a short period of time. This is not exaggeration, but with data as the basis. As early as more than two hundred years ago, Keduo Space City began to export some high-end crop products in a small amount. Keduo Space City's agricultural products can be said to be a well-known luxury brand in several major star fields. Although it is expensive, it is very popular. This is a miracle for a space steel city that relies on imported food.
When we left the Kodo Space City, the migratory army mainly transported people and food. Large agricultural equipment such as Kodo Space City naturally could not be shipped. If we wanted to rebuild a modern space farm in a short time, it would be a very large project. Undo Space City today cannot meet self-sufficiency, and the food consumed is mainly the reserve food consumed.
In fact, the amount of food transported by the migrant army is already very large. However, the population of Keduo Space City is too large, as high as more than 500,000, and it depends entirely on reserve food. This is a terrible number. If a person consumes food every day, the total amount of food consumed in a day will reach 500,000 kilograms, and 5 million kilograms in ten days. This does not include the consumption of other daily necessities, such as tissues, cooking oil, etc.
On the first day of stopping the space navigation to prepare for reconstruction of the Kodo Space City, the migratory army sent outposts to lay them in this airspace, sending various signals, hoping to contact the passing spacecraft. Unfortunately, after only starting a war with the alien, the airspace became dead and quiet. In the past few months, no spacecraft passed by. The entire airspace seemed to have become a desert of death. To get help from the outside world, it became increasingly slim... The food crisis was proposed by a scientist, and he listed a series of data.
Data shows that if Kedo Space City now rebuilds the space farm, even if all manpower and material resources are invested, it will take four to seven months. From investment to production and obtaining food, it will take at least six months. Moreover, it is impossible to guarantee the food rations of a population of 500,000.
The current food reserves cannot last for six months. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that even if the food can be maintained until the space farm produces crops that are sufficient for the living of 500,000 people, this plan is just a fantasy, because the prerequisite is to invest all manpower and material resources, which means that the reconstruction of the Kodo Space City will stagnate, and the construction of this farm will consume all the resources brought out. This is undoubtedly not a good result. After all, there are still tens of thousands of people in the simple mecha cockpit of 500,000 people. If they are allowed to live in weightless space for a long time, it will be a disaster. At present, human physical fitness cannot adapt to living in space for a long time.
In addition to the living problems, there are also pirate problems worth thinking about. There are no warships in the migratory army now. If space pirates appear, even if a space pirate warship appears, it will bring a catastrophe to the migratory army.
Through repeated argumentation, when the Xinkodo Space City was rebuilt, it would also have to build a large number of small space fortresses to guard against the emergence of space pirate ships.
In fact, small space fortresses have been being built quickly. Dozens of small space fortresses have already been put into service, and the first line of defense has begun to be laid out in Xinkodo Space City. Of course, this line of defense is far from enough, so the small space fortress that is defending is still under construction.
Xinkodo Space City is following the "Blueprint Plan" of Xiaoqiangguang Brain. The only flaw is the food that needs to allow 500,000 people to survive!
The food problem is very serious. Through optical brain calculations, the current food can be supported for up to two months. That is to say, if there is not enough food in two months, the migratory army will start to kill and hunt each other because of the competition for food.
No one doubts this conjecture, and this is not a conjecture, but a real case. As early as the early stage of interstellar exploration hundreds of years ago, many spacecraft had trekking in the vast universe due to lack of food and tragedy of human beings. Even now, spacecraft traveling in space will still encounter those trekking space ghost ships. On those ghost ships there are some humans who survived by eating their companions' corpses. In fact, they can no longer be called humans. They survived by killing their companions and reproduced mutated humans. They rely on the only life circulation system on the spacecraft to maintain their lives.
History: Three hundred years ago, humans discovered a trekking spacecraft from the earth. According to the light brain records of the spacecraft, the spacecraft carried 207 crew members. During the hundreds of years of sailing, more than 200 crew members reproduced more than 700 humans. At this time, the food crisis gradually emerged. In order to compete for food and control the circulation system of life, the spacecraft became a hunting ground. The laws of the jungle were staged in the steel structure of the spacecraft, and the law and morality lost their constraints.
Strength, people started to murder, and later became blatantly killing each other. During the 150-year pursuit and hunting, the surviving humans began to mutate. They became a terrifying monster. They were walking on flat ground in the steel jungle, and they were extremely powerful. Moreover, their tolerance for hunger was simply unbelievable. They could eat no food for up to two months, and even survive in a vacuum and weightless state.
From an evolutionary perspective, the physical evolution of the mutated human beings has reached the point that humans dream of, but evolutionary human beings have a fatal shortcoming.
They eat people!
The spaceship that discovered that the Trek spaceship was wiped out was wiped out. If the captain had not sent the message when he was dying, it would have caused an even more terrifying disaster, because the Trek spaceship was preparing to land a planet where humans lived.
Before the spacecraft landed, the human army was ready to set up a net of heaven and earth. However, even so, the mutant humans who came and went like lightning and had amazing power still caused huge casualties to the army.
After that incident, the Human Alliance enacted a law that if an early Trek spacecraft was discovered, direct contact was strictly prohibited without confirming safety. If contact could not be avoided, the mecha must also be driven.
