Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Chapter 725 Meng Chuan's Worries

With Zhan Yi personally "supervising the battle," all the Green Gang engineers on Mars worked overtime.

In just a few days, the first oxygen generator was produced.

This is also thanks to the excellent data provided by the observers.

Each step is transformed into data that people can understand.

It was a silver device about half a person's height, with pipes connecting the air inlet and the air tank like a spider web.

As soon as Zhan pressed the start button, the machine hummed and started running. The real-time data displayed on the screen showed that it could convert 1200 cubic meters of carbon dioxide and produce 360 ​​cubic meters of oxygen per hour.

Therefore, Zhan Yi immediately reported the good news to Meng Chuan:

"Master, this thing is amazing!"

Zhan Yi's voice trembled with excitement:

"Our underground castle has more than 300 people, so one unit is more than enough. If we put a hundred units there and distributed them in the valleys of the equatorial zone, the oxygen concentration in the Martian atmosphere could reach 18% in less than three years."

Although the oxygen concentration of 18% is still lower than the oxygen concentration on Earth.

But it's already higher than the oxygen concentration in some high-altitude areas of the Earth.

After all, in some high-altitude areas of my country, the average oxygen concentration is only 12% to 16%.

An oxygen concentration of 18% is more than enough to meet the survival needs of humans and most life on Earth.

Meng Chuan was very satisfied with Zhan Yi and their efficiency.

This thing is more important than any weapon.

Pulse rifles can protect your territory.

Oxygen is what gives humans the confidence to establish themselves on Mars.

Of course, Meng Chuan also kept his promise to the observers.

Fifteen cargo ships departed from Earth, each carrying a death row inmate.

This allows for maximum concealment.

These individuals were sentenced to death for either serial crimes or endangering national security.

Using them as "living examples" somewhat eased the burden on Meng Chuan's heart.

Perhaps it is because the "living examples" provided by Meng Chuan are diverse.

The observer surprisingly provided Meng Chuan with a considerable amount of scientific and technological data once again.

The Stardust's database now contains more drawings of artificial magnetic field generators and methane circulation systems.

In particular, one of the technologies is nanofilm technology that can rival the Earth's ozone layer.

This caused Meng Chuan's pupils to suddenly contract.

This can be laid directly in Mars orbit, blocking 99% of ultraviolet radiation.

However, while these technologies are advanced, they are quite important for terraforming Mars.

But technology alone is not enough.

With the current level of human technology, it is difficult to turn these technologies from theory into reality.

It's definitely impossible in the short term.

But Meng Chuan still saw hope.

However, before Meng Chuan could fully process this surprise, troubles began to follow.

Less than a month after the last transaction, the Stardust's communicator suddenly rang urgently.

In order to make contact with the observer.

Meng Chuan and Ying Die had no choice but to travel to outer space once again aboard the Stardust.

The observer's voice carried an unprecedented urgency:

“We need more samples to represent Earth’s civilization. Fifty humans, and an equal number of large mammals—cattle, horses, and elephants would all be suitable.”

Meng Chuan tightened his grip on the communicator.

Human samples can be interpreted as "studying civilization".

For large mammals, this is far more than a simple observation requirement.

Because mammals don't have much useful memory to retrieve.

They can only conduct genetic research.

Meng Chuan couldn't help but think of biological experiments on Earth.

For example, the ape warrior experiment.

Or genetic modification experiments.

Only this type of research would involve such an urgent need to collect different species.

"Your demands are beyond what is reasonable."

Meng Chuan's voice turned colder.

But they didn't dare to refuse outright.

If it angers the observer, it could be devastating, whether for Meng Chuan or for the entire Earth.

“We can offer an equivalent return.”

The observer responded immediately, his tone seductive:

"For example, the complete design blueprints of a space battleship, including energy shields and warp engines."

"In addition, we can directly intervene in the terraforming of Mars: establish a preliminary atmosphere within three months, stabilize the temperature to 15-25 degrees Celsius within six months, and after one year, Mars will be no different from Earth except for gravity."

The observer's words made Meng Chuan and Ying Die's hearts skip a beat.

This is incredibly appealing.

With current Mars terraforming plans, it will take at least thirty years to reach a level where Mars can truly be habitable for humans.

Of course, you can now directly enter the underground castle and live there.

But that's just living on the ground.

Humans are ultimately terrestrial beings.

Once we reach a point where humans can live on the surface of Mars without spacesuits, then we can truly achieve that.

Only then can Mars truly become a second Earth.

While Meng Chuan and Ying Die remained silent, the person on the other end of the communicator also remained silent, as if waiting for Meng Chuan's decision.

Meng Chuan's brows were furrowed at this moment.

The allure of terraforming Mars, like an invisible hand, gripped his heart tightly.

"Human samples can be provided again, but it will take time."

Meng Chuan slowly opened his mouth:

"As for mammals... I need a reason."

Meng Chuan was rather cautious.

Who knows if these observers are harboring malicious intentions?

Meng Chuan's concern is that Earth will be conquered before Mars becomes a second Earth.

"We need to analyze the adaptability of carbon-based organisms."

The observer's answer sounded flawless:

"This is also essential data for terraforming the Martian ecosystem."

Meng Chuan did not ask any further questions.

Because he knew that if the observer truly had ulterior motives, further questioning would yield no results.

After temporarily stabilizing the observer, Meng Chuan and Ying Die returned to Earth.

After leaving the Stardust, Meng Chuan turned to Ying Die and said:

"Hold the transfer of death row inmates on the other side of the world paused, and first take stock of the number of large mammals in zoos and farms."

"Also, check if there are any UFO sightings on Earth right now. If there are, check if there are any missing persons cases near these sightings."

There are some things Meng Chuan cannot say on the Stardust.

After all, Stardust was given to us by the observers, and nobody knows if there are any listening devices on board.

Yingdie was stunned:

"Does the troupe leader suspect them?"

"It's not a doubt."

Meng Chuan sighed:

“We must be prepared. They can create the atmosphere, and they can destroy it as well. These living samples may be more than just ‘data’.”

Meng Chuan didn't know if his initial agreement to cooperate and share with the observers was a mistake.

However, Meng Chuan's worries are growing stronger.

But since things have already come to this, Meng Chuan really has no way back.

First and foremost, Meng Chuan really needs their technology.

Secondly, even if Meng Chuan doesn't cooperate with them, they can find other partners if they're willing to.

Another issue is that if cooperation is interrupted, it will anger the observers.

The consequences would be even more unimaginable...
