I'd rather not. The battery heating system is essentially based on short circuiting them. We don't want a chemical explosion near the flowers. Also, we don't want to have to accustomed to high temperatures, in case of a dramatic heating failure they would all die.

I agree. Leave them out in the cold. If we wanted to develop at a quick pace we would be on earth. Not Mars. Let them remain on the surface.

We were talking about installing battery heaters near the underground plants.

I think instead of trying to evolve a wide number of different things, we should focus on a standardized shape with plenty of manipulators. In many ways I feel we have been going about this fully the wrong way. Trying to play as if we were zerg or something. But we did not chose body, we chose mind. We should focus on a simple drone shape then spend our energy creating technology.

Then use the fusion reactor to heat a length of metal we must have lying about. Just position it (the length of metal) bellow the flowers, and dig holes in the floor of the flower chamber to allow the heat to move into the flow chamber via convection.

Why do we want above-ground flowers again? Underground growing space isn't exactly hard for us to come by.

[Update may or may not come before noon. Honestly not sure about my schedule.]

Aboveground flowers produce more, naturally. If We produce freeze-tolerant Flowers, We can breed it into the species. In other words, we won't have to divert labor into heating or digging out vast underground flower chamber. It also helps to terraform in the way WE want the planet.

Because then they will become resistant to the cold and we can grow them on the surface, which is way easier since there is so much space up there. It will save us digging time, and we could put that time into other things.

All of these are wonderful ideas. The Mind does like to use technology for short and medium term fixes. Until We can be adapted, we can invent things to deal. We have the listed elements and the tools to create many things - plastics, alcohols, etc. A Heated Suit will not be too difficult for Us, given Your inclinations and the Lab.

It is not that We cannot adapt; You simply lack the innate understanding of it, and must proceed slowly to cause changes via the scientific method instead of simply "adapting" eggs. While the Body is faster and can work general changes, the Mind can be more precise.

...Okay, how long would it take to get that recycling system built?

[andy_t_roo]

in the long term something will be a limiting element, so a recycling system to reclaim that Something will always be of critical need to Us.


Time does not matter for critical items.

Well unless something would kill us between the completion of the recycling system, then no time is of no concern. Yeah +1 to recycling system construction.

Let's do it, +1 to recycling system

+1, the Kai are naturalists who recycle!
