It is not an easy task for a planet to create life from nothing.
Even from the macroscopic scale of the universe, the probability of an intelligent civilization evolving is as low as one in ten million or one in a hundred million.
Scientists from the Dark Empire estimate that among the approximately 400 billion star systems in the Milky Way, the number of intelligent civilizations should not exceed 10,000.
Blue Mercury is naturally one of them.
One of the important reasons why Levi is still trapped on Blue Mercury is that it is a planet with life.
Any planet with life has an ionosphere in the outer layer of its atmosphere.
An important characteristic of the ionosphere is that low-frequency, long-wave electromagnetic waves can easily pass through the ionosphere and are less weakened by reflection.
However, the ionosphere has an extremely strong rebound and reflection effect on high-frequency and high-energy shortwave signals, and shortwaves cannot penetrate.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that most of the high-energy X-rays, gamma rays and more destructive pulse rays in the universe are isolated by the ionosphere, avoiding radiation damage to the human body.
In addition, due to the existence of the geomagnetic field, a large number of high-energy particles active in the universe cannot penetrate and cause harm to life.
The dual protection of the ionosphere and the geomagnetic field prevents humans from living in an environment similar to nuclear radiation.
What Levi hated most was the ionosphere. If there were no ionosphere barrier, on the day he was mistakenly teleported to Blue Mercury, it would only take a dozen minutes for the signal sent by Bowen to be transmitted back to the Death Fleet, and the moment the rescue signal was received, the quantum teleporter would bring him back to the "Nightmare".
Instead of struggling here for three years and experiencing so many twists and turns.
Fortunately, after countless efforts, we now finally see hope of recalling the fleet.

Zhang Xiaobo, 32, graduated from Northwestern Polytechnical University and has been working at the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation for eight years.
He was smart, studious, hardworking, and good at research. He soon became a technical backbone and was promoted to deputy chief engineer of the satellite quality inspection department.
Today's testing mission begins.
A small communications satellite, said to have been developed by the Black Continent country of Gambia, was placed in front of him.
He also learned several specific technical parameters and functions of this small satellite from the young man of Gangbia nationality who was supervising the inspection.
He reached out and adjusted his thick, bottle-bottom glasses on the bridge of his nose.
A knowing smile, a smile that suggests an engineering student, appeared on his chubby round face.
I was already laughing in my heart.
Who are you trying to fool?
A signal transmission frequency of 100GHZ may not be able to be generated even if the device is ten times larger.
The high power consumption caused by transmitting high-frequency signals is so high that ordinary batteries cannot last for even 30 minutes, let alone three months.
There is also the so-called discontinuous intermittent launch mechanism and the so-called wide-area random algorithm, which require high-performance satellite-borne computers to be precisely controlled and smoothly implemented. It is not something that can be magically realized immediately after a word comes out of your mouth.
Technology is not magic.
But listening to the description of this young man named Levi, it felt like he was explaining a magic item.
"Levi, let's not talk about its performance first. First, how will we solve the problem of heat insulation for this communication satellite once it's in space?"
Zhang Xiaobo asked, anyone with a little scientific knowledge knows that the space environment is extremely harsh. If objects entering space are not insulated, the temperature on the side facing the sun can rise to over 200 degrees.
On the side without sunlight, the temperature can drop to -270 degrees Celsius.
The temperature difference between the positive and negative electrodes may be as much as four or five hundred degrees. No electronic equipment can work normally in such a temperature difference environment.
"No need for insulation. See? The blue substance on its surface is the insulation layer, which keeps the inside at a normal operating temperature." Levi explained.
"Is this true? I've never seen such insulation before."
Zhang Xiaobo's eyes flickered as he asked doubtfully, "Can I test its thermal insulation performance? If I don't, and it's launched into space and the insulation isn't good, I'm afraid it won't work for more than a few minutes."
"Just do it, just be quick."
The melting point of blue gold is as high as 6000 degrees. Its physical properties will not change much at absolute zero. Its thermal conductivity is extremely low, and ordinary thermal insulation tests are completely helpless against it.
"good!"
Zhang Xiaobo nodded and said, "Young man, you agreed to this. If something breaks during the test, you can't blame him."
Of course, during the actual temperature test, he only conducted a light test, with the highest temperature adjusted to 160 degrees and the lowest temperature set to minus 60 degrees. After all, the country of Gangbia had worked hard to build such a precious satellite, and he couldn't really damage it.
However, the test results surprised him.
The satellite has a deformation coefficient of zero.
There is no change on the surface.
Levi manually turned on the satellite's working switch. After the thermal insulation test, the satellite was still able to work normally.
The next focus is on performance testing.
Zhang Xiaobo opened his mouth in shock, stunned.
In the professional electromagnetic wave measuring instrument, the frequency of the electromagnetic wave signal emitted by the satellite, which is only slightly larger than a thermos cup, is not the 100GHZ that Levi said.
But it is a more exaggerated 160GHZ.
And what is sent out is indeed a signal in segments, each segment of the signal can contain 120 bits of information.
Not only that, the amount of information transmitted by this satellite is very large, and the instrument can receive 1 million per second... and the instrument's antenna sensing device, based on rough calculations of distance and space, is estimated to capture at most one in ten thousand signals.
