Interstellar Industrial Age

Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan are exploring the traces of life in the north pole of Mars. On the other side, in the southern hemisphere of Mars, scientists, engineers and astronauts are also busy.

The northern hemisphere of Mars is a very young plain, an endless great plain, but in the southern hemisphere of Mars, it is a highland with a very ancient history. Of course, this so-called highland is also relative to the plains in the northern hemisphere.

In a flat and open place with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, the altitude of Mars is different from the altitude on Earth. The altitude on Earth is calculated by sea level. Because Mars does not have much water, naturally there is no In the ocean, it is naturally impossible to calculate the altitude from sea level.

So the altitude on Mars is calculated based on the deepest depths of the Martian canyon, Mariner Canyon, and the altitude of more than 4,000 meters sounds very high.

But you must know that the deepest Mariana Trench on earth is tens of thousands of meters deep. If we take this as a starting point, the position of any one of us is also 10,000 meters above sea level.

Between the sky, several spaceships descended from the sky to this barren world.

Engineering vehicles drove out of the spacecraft, while scientists, engineers, and astronauts stepped onto Mars in space suits.

"What a desolate world!"

Long Zhankong set foot on the land of Mars, and he couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw the desolate scene in front of him.

The surface of Mars is very weathered, with large and small gravels densely covered, accompanied by gusts of wind and dust, and visibility is not high. The sand here is different from the desert on Earth. Every place on Mars The sand pile is actually formed by a large stone weathered over a long period of time, as well as large and small rocks, with sharp edges and corners.

"Go to work~"

A voice sounded, and the astronauts and engineers began to get busy, driving engineers to build a Mars base.

Scientists are planning to build a permanent Mars base here. Of course, at present, this base must be an unmanned base. Mars is still a little far from the earth, and it is not easy to go back and forth.

It is obviously impossible to build a regular round-trip voyage at great expense until a resource of great value is discovered.

Moreover, the distance between Mars and the earth is constantly changing. It is fine when they are closest. Once they are farthest away, if they are separated by a sun, it will be difficult to achieve material supply and personnel replacement.

Unless particularly valuable resources are found on Mars, under the impetus of commercial forces, it is possible to establish an inhabited Mars base.

The construction of the unmanned base is also for long-term exploration of Mars, to study the climate of Mars, to find resources of Mars, and to prepare for the next development of Mars in the future.

Because there is a lot of experience in building lunar bases on the moon, building a Mars base is naturally a very simple matter, not to mention scientists and engineers from Galaxy Technology Group. On the earth, there are even special bases. company of.

These companies have developed a variety of bases. As long as customers have needs, they can realize them. As long as they can afford to pay, everything is not a problem. The speed is fast, and the bases they build are very safe and reliable.

A construction vehicle pushes away gravel, sand, etc. in the area of ​​the platform, sorts out a large flat area, and then starts to drive piles to fix the base.

Just over an hour later, a large-scale Mars base soon appeared on the surface of Mars. At the same time, on a high flagpole, the bright red flag also began to rise slowly. Naturally, this scene must also be recorded. , it can also be used as evidence when competing for the sovereignty of Mars in the future.

As cosmic and astronomical scientists, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin also drove a construction vehicle and began to walk on the surface of Mars, ready to search for some ancient meteorites, rocks and the like, and collect the deep soil and rocks of Mars for research. history of mars,

Even study the history of the solar system.

On the other side, the North Pole of Mars.

Precious samples from the bottom of the ice are being collected continuously. Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan can't wait, and they can't wait to return to the Kuafu spacecraft to analyze these samples.

"Return to the spacecraft immediately, return to space as soon as possible!"

When the last sample was collected, Liu Daoming didn't hesitate to order the spacecraft to take off and return to space.

More than ten minutes later, the spacecraft returned to the 'Kuafu' spacecraft very smoothly, and the collected samples were also sent to the scientists' laboratory as soon as possible.

"There is definitely extraterrestrial life here! Please see, the closer the amino acids are to the deeper layers, the more there are. This means that amino acids come from the inside, not the outside, and there is only one source of amino acids, and that is microorganisms."

"The survivability of microorganisms is extremely tenacious. The most powerful water bears can survive for several days at minus 200 degrees, and can survive for a long time in the high temperature of more than 100 degrees. They can also survive in the radiation environment of more than 5,000 gray intensity. To survive, knowing that 10-20 Gray intensity radiation can easily kill humans and most animals on earth."

While Li Jingxuan was analyzing the samples excitedly, at the same time, his voice was a little inaccurate when speaking because of his excitement. The whole person was very excited. Originally, he analyzed the samples slowly according to the sampling depth. Zoom under the microscope.

"Oh my god! There are really creatures, and there are so many of them. These microorganisms already have a cellular structure, but the structure is a bit strange."

"The discovery of a large microbiome, a complete community of microbial communities, the largest has multicellular complex organisms as large as 0.1 millimeters."

"The discovery that shocked the world, most of these organisms are fungi, a small amount of bacteria, a very small part of multicellular life, this is a slowly evolving world!"

This news caused a sensation in the entire "Kwafu" spacecraft and the control center far away on Earth. The major discovery on Mars means that the universe is full of life. Human beings and the earth are not alone. There is water in the universe. It is possible for life to be born.

You must know that there is still liquid water under the ice layer up to 100 meters thick on Mars, and there is actually the existence of extraterrestrial life in this liquid water. This is definitely one of the most important discoveries of this century!

"There are really creatures on Mars. Although these creatures are very simple, they are life, which means that life is not limited to the earth, and it is very likely to exist in every corner of the universe."

"In other galaxies outside the solar system, on some planets with conditions that are very close to the earth, there may be intelligent creatures like us humans, but because the universe is too vast, we have never met each other yet. been."

On this side of the earth, the scientists of the Galaxy Science Research Institute are all crazy. There really is life outside the earth. Naturally, everyone knows clearly that there must be many, many advanced intelligent life like humans in the universe.

In the past, people who sat in the well and looked at the sky thought that they were the only life in the universe. That was because no extraterrestrial life was found. Of course, it was also because human beings have always been limited to the earth, and the farthest place was just a trip to the moon. The universe, about life, understands very little.

"Release this news to the world."

Qin Yi thought about it for a while and told him that it is time to let people in the global world know about extraterrestrial life, and it is a very reasonable thing to encounter aliens in the future.

Soon, the Galaxy Science Research Institute and the Huaxia Institute of Scientists officially held a press conference to officially announce to the world that the 'Kuafu' spacecraft discovered extraterrestrial life on Mars, and at the same time, it also released the extraterrestrial life found on Mars. Photos and videos play out.

"I'm dying~Alien~"

"It's over, it's the end of the world, there are really aliens, they're going to invade the earth~"

"Kwafu spacecraft found Martians on Mars expedition."

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in a panic. Ordinary people thought that Martians were found on Mars, and they thought that Martians were going to attack the earth. Extraterrestrial life seems to be very advanced. , but in fact, only some fungi, bacteria and the like were found on Mars.

However, experts and scholars soon came forward to explain one of the most important discoveries of this century to everyone, telling everyone that there is no need to be afraid. Although they are extraterrestrial life, they are all fungi, bacteria and the like. There is no threat, don't worry, it's not Martian at all.

The emotions of ordinary people were quickly calmed down, and everyone quickly figured out the true face of this extraterrestrial life, so naturally they would not panic.

As for the scientific community, scientists on Earth have become silent one by one. Extraterrestrial life has been discovered on Mars. They are very clear about what it means.

This means that life should be very common in the universe, it also means that there must be advanced intelligent creatures like humans in the universe, and it also means that there must be some civilizations with a higher level of development than the Earth.

It also means that once human beings truly enter the vast interstellar universe and get along with countless civilized races in the universe, the fate of human beings is unknown.

Is it possible to become a colonizer, a predator, at the top of the food chain, or an object of exploitation, enslavement, and colonization?

All of this is obviously difficult to say, but one thing is for sure: the truth is only within the range of the cannon!

PS: It's almost time to go out~~
