The designated area where Chengzi and his party are located is already one kilometer away from the "Miluo Palace" space station, and it is difficult to see his figure with the naked eye just by looking through the official website window in the observation tower, and the group of five seems to be swallowed by the vast dark star field.

Fortunately, Chengzi and others are equipped with real-time traps, and at the same time, they are closely monitored by escort ships and unmanned spacecraft, so every move of the entire experimental team is completely supervised by Hoover and others.

At this time, the dark matter storm is already weak, and all kinds of radiation and light have been attenuated, although not much data can be obtained in this environment, but it is an excellent working environment for scientists working outside the cabin.

After receiving Professor Hoover's safety instructions, Sergei immediately began to direct several other men to begin operating the instrument.

The disc-shaped windcatcher was slowly lowered by the five people, and after it was relatively stable in the void, Sergei floated up and suspended on the windcatcher, and at the same time, his five fingers stretched out on it, and the identification instrument on the windcatcher quickly read Sergei's biological data, and as the spherical lid opened, the hidden device inside was also pushed up.

Inside the seemingly flat disc is a large number of mechanical structures, which by the time it is fully unfolded, it has expanded by as much as five times.

Sergei had already straightened up and began to maneuver in real time from the outstretched workbench, his movements were very skillful, but because he was in outer space and was wearing a heavy spacesuit, his speed seemed much slower.

After about five minutes, Sergei entered all the instructions and applied his biometric authentication again, and soon the workbench began to change, the entire table was staggered in four directions, and the interior scene was fully revealed, whether it was a disc windcatcher or an extended cabinet, it was just a shell, and among these were silver metal balls.

Hua Lian was a little surprised to see this, but she quickly realized that these metal balls should be used to detect dark matter storms.

"That's a Russian windmill. West on the side suddenly said to Hua.

"Russian windmills?"

Vest nodded: "It is a kind of detection piece used to detect dark matter storms, don't underestimate this little thing, whether it is its internal structure or the cost is very amazing, the accuracy of the Russian windmill in dark matter detection is definitely second to none in the world." ”

"It seems that Mr. has not only made achievements in his own academic field, but also in other aspects. ”

West smiled: "It's just a few scratches, and I've read some internal materials these days, including some reports on the detection of dark matter storms between our side and Russia, and I read two of them, so I wrote them down." ”

As he spoke, Sergei had already taken out a unique metal ball from the inside of the workbench, and the metal head was a golden color that looked dazzling and eye-catching.

Sergei then threw the metal ball into the sky above nothingness.

The golden metal ball floated about five meters high before it came to a halt abruptly, as if it had been controlled by some kind of magic.

After the golden metal ball stalled, its metal shell slowly opened, forming countless tiny gaps, and after the gaps opened, a shining star map was released from it.

The volume of this star map is quite huge, the overall diameter is about fifty meters long, but it still seems extremely insignificant in this empty universe, and there are light points intertwined on this huge star map, which are regarded as some kind of coordinates, and there are detailed coordinate data on this intertwined light point.

When the star map was formed, Chengzi and the others also untied the safety belt on their bodies, began to float to Sergei's side, took out silver metal balls one after another, and at the same time began to leave the windcatcher, placing these silver metal balls on the intertwined points of light.

Although there are undercurrents surging in the universe, this small ball called the Russian windmill can float steadily above the point of light, but seeing this, Hua Lian knows that what West said earlier is true.

Although the Russian windmill is precisely constructed, it is not fully automatic, and at such times it is necessary to manually determine the orientation.

"Whew, all the best. ”

At this time, Lingyu also walked to Hua Lian's side, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Is there any work going on?" asked Hua Lian.

Lingyu said: "The next job is to wait, it will take a long time to arrange these Russian windmills." ”

West laughed, "Looks like we should go get a cup of coffee." ”

Lingyu smiled: "Two or three cups are fine." Then he took the initiative to fetch coffee for a few people.

After Lingyu left, Hua Lian looked at West with a smile and said, "It seems that Mr. is really very fond of women." ”

Hearing this, West raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you say this?"

Hua Lian smiled: "I've been here for a while, and I'm familiar with most of the people here, but Lingyu has never taken the initiative to talk to me like she does now. ”

West smiled dumbly, "The captain is really thinking too much. ”

Hua Lian shook her head and said: "Although I am not good at affairs between men and women, some clues still can't escape my eyes, and Lingyu's eyes are extremely hot when she looks at you." ”

West smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment. Hua Lian said: "I think the two of you are not familiar with each other now, Lingyu has not thought of a way to get close to you, it just so happens that I am here now, so I will talk to you through my medium." ”

"Captain, don't say that, you're too conspiracy theory," West said. ”

Hua Lian shrugged her shoulders noncommittally and said, "Whether it's a conspiracy theory or not will be known later, I believe she will definitely take the initiative to talk to you about more topics in the future." ”

Vest said: "How come..."

"Why don't you make a bet!" Hua Lian's heart is up at the moment, this experiment on the detection of dark matter storm is even more boring than she imagined, but at this moment she didn't think of anything more interesting, so she immediately entertained West.

"Captain...", for Hua Lian West, there is no desire to cry.

"I haven't thought about the bet yet, so let's put it on a condition for the time being. Hua Lian took the lead in saying.

Vest only felt that he was at a loss for words, and at this moment, Lingyu had already walked over with three cups of coffee.

Hua Lian and Vest thanked each other and knotted the coffee, and after what Hua Lian said before, the atmosphere between several people became a little awkward inexplicably, of course, this embarrassment was completely due to Vest.

Hua Lian took a sip of coffee and said, "Dr. Lingyu, how long have you been in the 'Miluo Palace'?"

Lingyu smiled and said, "You don't have to call me Doctor, just call me by my name, I'm older than you, you can call me Sister Lingyu." After a pause, Lingyu continued: "The time I have been here in the 'Miluo Palace' is not long, but it has been three years. ”

Hua Lian said: "Three years is not a short time. ”

Lingyu smiled and said, "It's not short, it's not long." I just feel that time flies too fast, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye. ”

Hua Lian said: "Time is fleeting, and Shaohua is easy to grow old." Time is especially unfair to us women. Lingyu smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”

West had already heard the gossip in Hua Lian's words, and couldn't help coughing lightly at the moment.

Hua Lian raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you think so, sir?"

West laughed dryly and said, "What's the matter, the two girls are both supreme beauties, no matter how ruthless time is, it will not leave a trace on the two of them." ”

Lingyu smiled: "This sentence is appropriate for the captain, I am no longer young, I am a complete old girl." Lingyu is self-aware, although she knows that she has a bit of a look, but she can't compare with a beauty like Hua Lian, Hua Lian is not only young and beautiful, but also has a kind of heroic spirit that is difficult to find.

Hua Lian said: "Sister Lingyu can't say that, Mr. is not praising me by saying this, I have talked to Mr. many times before, but he has not praised me for being beautiful any time, and it is estimated that it is for Sister Lingyu's face to suddenly say this today." ”

Lingyu smiled: "The captain is really joking. That being said, a pair of beautiful eyes turned to Vest's body with a smile, and their eyes were full of affection.

Looking at this, Hua Lian couldn't help but smile and look at West, who could only cough lightly, and cast his eyes on the real-time projection projected in mid-air while drinking his coffee.

Hua Lian has been depressed in the "Miluo Palace" for too long, and today she has found an opportunity to have fun, although she is not a gossipy person, but out of feminine sensibility, she still does not want to miss this opportunity to tease West.

Then he said to Weiss: "I see that Mr. has adapted to the environment here recently, and I don't know how to prepare for the next work?"

Naturally, West would not easily tell others about his work, but at this moment he was eager to get out of this dilemma, and he couldn't help but be extremely happy when he saw Hua Lian suddenly change the topic, so he hurriedly said: "Actually, there are no too important research projects, the field I study is anthropology, but anthropology is still limited to this universe, after all, even the information we have now is not enough to support the full development of the entire anthropology." ”

Lingyu was quite interested when she heard this: "The project that Mr. wants to study is the adaptability of anthropology to the universe?"

West nodded and said, "Almost." It is important to know that the so-called anthropology is a discipline that takes human beings as the direct object of study and aims at basic and comprehensive understanding of them. Anthropology aims to comprehensively study the human body and living conditions, and to clarify the relationship between the human body and culture. ”

"Today's anthropology can be broadly divided into: human anthropology, also known as natural anthropology, which focuses on the morphology, genetics, and physiology of the human body, cultural anthropology, which focuses on customs, cultural history, language, and other cultures, and prehistoric anthropology, which specializes in the study of the human body and culture in the prehistoric period. It can be said that today's human civilization and all activities such as production and life are included in it. ”

Even so, of course, anthropology is not entirely complete. One of the important factors is whether there is only one kind of life in the universe, human beings. ”

Hua Lian said: "Sir, you mean aliens?"

West: "Pretty much, but it's not accurate to use the word alien. It is more accurate to say that it is an alien lifeform, and this kind of alien life also refers to a life individual with a high level of intelligence, if there is life on Mars, and this life maintains the same level of intelligence as the lower beasts on Earth, then it cannot be called an alien lifeform. ”

Hua Lian said: "It sounds a little confusing. ”

West: "That's true, it's not just you who feel confused, but also me, a professional researcher. Cosmic anthropology has only been proposed in recent decades, and previous anthropologists have never included extraterrestrial life in the scope of anthropology. Well... It was only about seven or eight years ago that this claim was taken seriously by mainstream academia, and some anthropologists, including myself, began to study this proposition. ”

Hearing the time number of seven or eight years ago, Hua Lian's heart couldn't help but move, is it because of something that made these anthropologists expand the scope of life to the universe?

Lingyu excused herself, "So can you elaborate on the scope of this expansion?"

As he spoke, he had gradually moved past Hua Lian and approached West, staring at West with wide eyes, not knowing whether he wanted to know the academic theory or simply get close to West.

West didn't notice this, and with his straightforward nature, he seemed a little excited when it came to explaining his academic content.

"Among the various sub-disciplines of anthropology, physical anthropology is a discipline that studies human beings from a biological perspective, including the origin, development, racial differences, the relationship between the human body and ecology, and the bodies and behaviors of existing primates. Cultural anthropology is a discipline that studies various human behaviors from the perspective of culture, which studies the origin, development and change of human culture, the cultural differences of various ethnic groups and regions in the world, and attempts to explore the nature and evolution of human culture. These two are the fields of study, which are simply extended by the physiology and mind of the human being, and in some religious terms, the body and the soul. This is the simplest two-party basic composition of human beings, and it can be said that the reason why human beings have become the masters of the earth is that absolute intelligent beings are supported by the excellent evolution of these two aspects. ”

"But both physical anthropology and cultural anthropology have begun to solidify, which means that they have their own limitations. And if there is something in reality that breaks down this limitation, then anthropology will no longer be complete. ”

Lingyu said, "What kind of exceptions might there be?"

"Let's say humans and aliens combined. ”
