After waiting for half a month and still not hearing back, everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but Professor Shen Wei told everyone not to be anxious. Xu Jiawei said that there may be a problem here, and with the current technology, it should not be a problem for signals to come and go in real time, but is their technical level inferior to ours? Since they can reach such a distant place, their technology should be above us.

Professor Shen Wei said: "This is not a matter of measuring the level of technology, it is likely that the two sets of equipment are not very smoothly linked, let's wait patiently, this is not a big deal after all." ”

Since there was no news at the end of the day, Professor Shen Wei turned his attention back to Proxima Centauri.

Tianhua Xiaozhi sent a clear planetary system video of Proxima Centauri, 1 star, 5 planets, and the entire galaxy map is three-dimensional and clear. Tianhua-1 made a close visit to each planet, traversing the atmospheres of both planets, reaching as recently as 100 meters from the highest point of the fifth planet. All the data is very detailed, and there is a huge amount of information about the entire Proxima Centauri. Professor Shen Wei instructed Tianhua Xiaozhi to carry out the unfinished mission last time, fly to the opposite middle of the three sub-stars, and after completing the mission, if he finds that there are also planetary systems, he will shoot them one by one according to the practice of Proxima Centauri.

"Why don't you go down to a certain planet?" Xu Jiawei asked the professor.

"Because Tianhua Xiaozhi has a more important mission, after completing the main mission, let's go back and see if it is necessary to go down to the planet here, maybe there are more planets worth visiting?" Professor Shen Wei said.

Xu Jiawei felt that it was still the professor's vision.

"I'm going to Mars, and the materials at 100 times the speed of light will be evaluated by experts tomorrow, and if they are unanimously approved, they will be released on a large scale. At the same time, the first triage of the design drawings of the spacecraft at 100 times the speed of light was conducted. Although building the ship is a matter for another team, our opinion is important to them. Professor Shen Wei said.

Xu Jiawei was so excited when he heard the news that he hugged the professor, what he was thinking about was actually the professor and they were already doing it, haha, he was still giving some opinions. He said, "Professor, you are so great that you want to be ahead of us in everything." Xu Jiawei respects Professor Shen Wei even more, the reason why he only does not say anything, and tries to let his disciples express their opinions, is to deliberately cultivate disciples and develop their thinking, such a wise and foolish professor is the most respectable.

"Didn't I think of it after I was inspired by you?" Professor Shen Wei said lightly.

"Shame, shame. Professor, don't worry, we are here, we have studied the information of Proxima Centauri during this time, and so much massive information is enough for us to be busy for a while. Xu Jiawei said.

"I have to keep an eye on the other side of the day, and report to me in time if there is news. Professor Shen Wei finished speaking, and went out, "That's right," he walked in again, "The laboratory is still temporarily in charge of Xu Jiawei." ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done. Xu Jiawei said.

Professor Shen Wei went out, and Xu Jiawei divided everyone's work, and everyone processed the data according to their own division of labor. Xu Jiawei is mainly responsible for the analysis of planetary life, and only by excluding the signs of life can we dig out the resources needed by human beings. Although Xu Jiawei tried his best to analyze extraterrestrial life out of the thinking of earthlings, he still unconsciously entered the thinking habits of earthlings, and he, like the rest of the team, including Professor Shen Wei, naturally believed that two planets with atmospheres were the most promising for life, so he began to analyze the two planets 1 and 2. Planet 1 has a dense atmosphere, if it weren't for the special materials of "Tianhua No. 1", any material from the earth, flying at such a high speed, and not having a huge physique, would have burned or corroded through such an atmosphere. The data shows that the main substance in the atmosphere is sulfur, which accounts for 90% of the concentration, a small amount of methane, no oxygen, and two marked "unknown", indicating that there is no such substance on the earth, and humans do not know this gas at all. After passing through the atmosphere, there is basically a plain below, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the ground temperature is less than 100 degrees, although it is only the distance from Mercury to the Sun from the star due to the obscuration of the atmosphere. The video images show that there is nothing on the ground except for the topography and colors of the Loess Plateau, and there are no huge mountains on the planet from a long distance, and there are no mountains and craters at close range, and there are no traces of biological activity. Although extraterrestrial life may not need oxygen and water, or even breathe, or walk, and the life forms formed by it will not look like humans, there must be traces of life, and only by leaving traces will the existence of life be proven. Judging by the available data, at least there will be no life on the ground, and it cannot be ruled out that life here lives underground. Of course, this is only based on the data currently available, and the whole body cannot be seen when you see a spot, and more data is needed to correctly judge whether there is life or not. It would have been different if the professor had agreed to go up by himself, and with a perceptual understanding, his judgment would have been more accurate. Xu Jiawei still regretted that he didn't go up at that time.

Xu Jiawei signed the evaluation results with the words "preliminarily judged to have no signs of life".

After reading Planet 1, Xu Jiawei called up the data of Planet 2 again. The atmosphere here is thinner than No. 1, very similar to the Earth, and the content actually contains oxygen, which is in the third place, accounting for 10%. The planet is almost perfectly round, about the size of the Earth, and the red color takes up most of the planet's area from a distance, indicating that iron is the basic material that makes up the surface of the planet, which is somewhat similar to Mars. There are mountains, canyons and flatlands on the ground, "Tianhua No. 1" was measured at 3 kilometers from the ground, the ground wind speed of the measurement point is 7, the temperature is 30 degrees, the sun is abundant, the ground is scattered with small stones, there seem to be traces of rolling, of course, it is not excluded that it is caused by the action of the wind, there are no buildings and crops in the sense of the earth. I saw something blue at the edge of the video, but unfortunately Tianhua Xiaozhi's attention was not here, the angle of view was not adjusted well, and the data was not given. Xu Jiawei is extremely regretful, for him, a little blue on the edge is the most important thing, maybe water, oxygen and water, the basic elements that constitute life in the sense of the earth are there, plus the atmosphere similar to the earth, the size and shape of the sphere, it is extremely likely that there will be life here, and it is more likely that prehistoric humans lived in seclusion here. If he can give an order, let Tianhua Xiaozhi turn around now and go directly to Planet 2 to carry out key exploration. If the detection results show that there is really life here, then the mission of "Tianhua One" will be over, and there is no need to stay here any longer, because once there is life here, then the resources of the entire Centauri will belong to the life here, and if human beings are "not interested" to "grab" resources here, then Star Wars will really happen. The vast universe is so big, and the resources are inexhaustible, so why bother to stare here and grab it from others.

Xu Jiawei signed in the evaluation results column: Planet 2 has elements suspected of constituting life.

The existence of elements suspected of constituting life is equivalent to saying that there are suspected signs of life, which immediately caused a boiling! Chen Jie gave Xu Jiawei the analysis materials of the planet's orbit and gravitational environment that he was responsible for, Lin Shanshan provided Xu Jiawei with ray and plasma analysis and conjecture of chemical substances, and Ma Biao provided Xu Jiawei with a preliminary analysis of the geological structure of Planet 2.

Xu Jiawei said: "You all move so fast, and you can make so many things in such a short time, and the efficiency is really high enough." ”

"Everybody is each other. Lin Shanshan said.

Xu Jiawei thanked everyone for their sincere cooperation and said: "It's just a guess now, let's analyze all the information together, and we may come up with a specific answer." If necessary, I still suggest that the professor either ask Tianhua Xiaozhi to come back and go to Planet 2 for a field trip, or I will go up and investigate it myself, preferably by myself. ”

"You're still thinking about it, and I guess you'll go up the next time you're on a mission. Lin Shanshan said.

"I hope so, too. In the past few days, we have been immersed in analyzing the data, and when the professor comes back, we will come up with a comprehensive analysis and report to him. After Xu Jiawei finished speaking, he went into the data pile again.

Here they are nervously analyzing the data sent by Tianhua Xiaozhi in the laboratory, and on the other side of Mars, Professor Shen Wei is also working nervously. The 100 times the speed of light z-3A material has been successfully made into a prototype after many experiments, this material cannot be found on Earth, but it is found on many planets in the asteroid belt, and so far, the raw material is incalculable. What's even more surprising is that when developing materials with 10 times the speed of light, they need to be synthesized with rare elements on Earth, and now 100 times the speed of light is all extracted from asteroids. The scientists at the meeting unanimously approved the finalized material without objection and named it Z-3A.

When discussing the ship's drawings, serious disagreements arose, with the focus on the purpose of the ship. Originally, the purpose was to explore extraterrestrial resources, supplemented by the search for extraterrestrial life, but with the news of the end of the sky, the spacecraft has a new use. According to Professor Shen Wei's opinion, the capacity of the spacecraft should meet three conditions: first, it should be manned, with a limit of 10 people and equipped with corresponding scientific research equipment and studios; second, it should build a small biosphere; third, it should have an escape system, which will automatically send the carrying personnel back to Earth in case of an accident; and in addition to the original design of landing, the function should also increase the long-distance voyage, and the long-distance voyage capacity should reach at least 15 billion light-years away and can come back, and the time is infinite.

Halfway through the conference, biologists and life scientists joined in. After more than half a month of argumentation, these top scientists finally reached a consensus, basically designed according to Professor Shen Wei's opinion, but made some adjustments in personnel, including one biologist and one life scientist, and the actual quota left for Professor Shen Wei was only 8. After the meeting. Professor Shen Wei hurriedly left Mars and returned to his laboratory on Earth.

The professor came back, and Xu Jiawei and the others scrambled to report the research results of more than half a month to the professor. The professor smiled and said, "Are you determined not to let me rest?" ”

"Haven't you taken a break from our briefing? If you will, well, when you have summoned us to come. Lin Shanshan said.

"You little girl. Professor Shen Wei became more and more fond of these disciples, and said, "Okay, well, who will say it first." ”

"Xu Jiawei said first, his discovery is the most important. Lin Shanshan said.

"Oh, is there news at the end of the day?" Professor Shen Wei asked eagerly.

"No, Professor. Xu Jiawei said, "We have comprehensively analyzed a large amount of information and believe that Planet 2 has suspected signs of life. ”

Professor Shen Wei looked at Xu Jiawei in surprise.
