Chapter 387 - The Genesis Experiment

Unlike his previous cautious and limited experiments in the Death World Canyon, this time he plans to conduct continental-scale tests of the application of the Genesis Particles.

A specially designed Genesis Particle Release Device was manufactured in the small furnace of the Eternal Quest.

Its design references the genesis technology theoretical model he obtained in the Star Trek dimension, but the core energy source and control unit are reconstructed based on current technological conditions.

The device is cylindrical, about 25 meters high and 10 meter in diameter, and looks more like a cannonball.

The deployment was carried out by a modified transport ship.

It safely transported the specially designed Genesis Particle Release Device to the surface of the barren planet and precisely placed it in the center of a vast rocky basin that had been pre-selected through orbital scanning.

After contacting the ground, the multiple composite metal anchors at the bottom of the device rapidly rotate and drill into the underlying rock layer under hydraulic drive until they reach the preset depth, ensuring that the device remains absolutely stable during the subsequent high-energy release process.

According to Osiris' prior simulation, if this disposable device operates at full power, its core unit will release all the accumulated primordial particles in a very short time, with an effective influence radius expected to reach one thousand kilometers.

This initiative aims to artificially create a large-scale "genesis zone" in order to systematically observe the transformative effects of primordial particles on planetary-level geological structures and basic atmospheric environments on a large scale.

However, the target planet XG-733-B is extremely water-poor and lacks the crucial hydrogen and oxygen elements necessary for complex material recombination and even potential life catalysis.

To address this shortage of basic resources, Osiris ordered the cruiser "Eternal Quest" to briefly sail to the orbit of the frozen planet within the same star system.

Using the heavy traction beam array mounted on its bow, the Eternal Quest precisely cut and controlled the force of the target ice field, successfully peeling off a standard spherical ice block with a diameter of about five kilometers.

Subsequently, the warship's navigation and propulsion systems worked together to push the ice block onto a precisely calculated transfer trajectory.

Following its predetermined trajectory, like a precisely guided celestial body, the giant ice mass ultimately struck the edge of the basin on the barren planet, which had been marked as an experimental zone, at a predetermined angle and speed.

The immense kinetic energy released at the moment of impact caused some of the ice to vaporize and rise instantly, while a large number of solid ice and rock fragments remained scattered over a vast area with a diameter of nearly one thousand kilometers.

These ice rocks will continue to melt, evaporate, and participate in the cycle in the subsequent process, providing the necessary water resources for the entire genesis experiment.

At this point, the basic prerequisites for the experiment have been met.

The equipment is in place, and the basic resources have been deployed.

The sensor network is fully activated, closely monitoring every parameter change in the target area, awaiting the activation command.

Everything is ready. The Genesis Particle Release Device is in place, and the basic water resources have been released.

On the vast, barren surface of the planet, a circular area with a radius of one thousand kilometers is marked as an absolute forbidden zone.

Osiris is located on the bridge of the "Eternal Quest of Knowledge," where he closely monitors all parameters of the experimental area through multiple sets of high-precision sensors deployed in orbit and on the ground.

"Activate the Genesis Particle Release Device, ten-second countdown," he calmly issued the command.

The moment the device was activated, the energy-guiding patterns on the surface of the specially made cylinder lit up one by one, emitting a low, continuous hum.

An invisible energy pulse radiated outward from the device, creating visible ripples in the air.

The release of the primordial particles lasted approximately 3.7 standard hours.

During this period, the surface of the entire experimental area began to undergo systematic changes.

Initially, it was a reorganization of the geological structure.

Within a radius of 100 kilometers around the device, the rock surface was stirred as if by an invisible force, and the originally hard silicate bedrock layer became malleable.

Under the influence of energy fields, the Earth's crust undergoes large-scale plastic flow, forming undulating hills and sunken valleys.

In some areas, the surface uplifted, forming the initial shape of a ring mountain range, while in other areas, the land subsided into a vast basin.

Meanwhile, the ice thrown into the experimental area rapidly vaporized in the energy field.

Water vapor interacts with primordial particles, forming a persistent, dense cloud layer above the experimental area.

As the energy release continued, the clouds began to release continuous rainfall.

Rainwater gathers into streams on the newly formed terrain, rushing towards low-lying areas and gradually forming a network of waterways.

Several major basins began to fill with water, forming shallow lakes.

Inorganic matter on the Earth's surface undergoes complex reactions under the combined influence of primordial particles and liquid water.

Monitoring data shows that silicate minerals and carbon dioxide begin to synthesize simple organic molecules in an aquatic environment.

These molecules rapidly aggregate under the continuous influence of the energy field, forming more complex amino acid chains and nucleotide fragments.

In the second hour of operation, self-replicating molecular chain structures were detected in multiple water areas within the experimental zone.

These primitive life forms evolved at an astonishing rate, rapidly evolving from simple organic macromolecules into primitive cells with membrane structures.

The monitoring probes captured activity signals of these microscopic organisms in water samples from multiple lakes.

As the device continued to operate, these primitive cells began to exhibit a trend of diversification.

Some cells have evolved the ability to metabolize using chemicals in water, while others have begun to try to capture light energy from the environment.

The earliest multicellular aggregates began to appear on the surface of moist rock layers at the edge of the water body.

When the device automatically shuts down after completing the predetermined release cycle, the experimental area with a radius of one thousand kilometers has been completely altered.

The once barren rocky surface has been replaced by undulating new terrain, with a network of waterways throughout the area and numerous lakes shimmering and reflecting in the depressions.

Atmospheric composition monitoring shows that oxygen levels have begun to rise measurably.

The entire area is filled with active biochemical signals, and primitive life has established communities in various waters and continues a rapid evolutionary process.

Data recorded by orbital sensors shows that this area has transformed from a desolate wasteland into a vibrant new ecosystem.

The data stream continuously transmitted from the orbital sensors clearly shows that a primitive water-based ecosystem has begun to form and is active within the experimental area on the barren planet's surface.

The water is teeming with various single-celled life forms that carry out basic photosynthesis or chemical synthesis, forming the bottom layer of the emerging food chain.

In the biological laboratory aboard the "Eternal Quest," Osiris retrieved successful sample data from previous life-induction experiments. He selected two representative products:

One type is a fern variety that has undergone targeted enhancement, characterized by a tough stem structure and leaves with highly efficient photosynthetic capacity and a unique radiative heat management structure.

Secondly, there is the Gamma-7 microbial strain that can secrete a complex polysaccharide-protein biofilm, which has excellent attenuation and blocking properties against high-energy radiation.

His aim was to observe how these artificially induced organisms with specific superior traits would evolve after being introduced into a competitive, uncontrolled primitive environment, and how their specialization would affect their survival and expansion in the new ecosystem.
