Chapter 470: Creating a Sense of Crisis
Chen Chen smiled slightly and continued at his own pace:
"But I didn't find nothing, I did a series of derivations through the detection of the magnetic field.
"First of all, I confirmed that this meteorite is divided into two structures, the inner and the outer structure, and the magnetic field is emitted by the external structure, and has nothing to do with the inner core.
"Then, the magnetic field is emitted by the external structure, and when the external structure absorbs the iron element, the magnetic field increases.
In other words, there must have been some unknown change in its outer structure, the part that emits the magnetic field.
"It's this structural change that triggers the change in the magnetic field. Then we can reverse the structure of its exterior by changing the magnetic field.
"To take an analogy, if we hit a drum, we make a sound because the eardrum is struck and the vibration causes the air to vibrate, and the final sound is made.
"When there is a knock, there is a vibration, and when there is a vibration, there is a sound.
"We deduce the other way around, if there is a sound, it means that there is a definite vibration, there is a vibration, there is definitely a knock.
"The sound is different in terms of height and magnitude, the vibration mode is different, and the size and structure of the vibrating part are also different.
Therefore, can we analyze and judge the composition of its external structure through the change of this magnetic field?
So, I kept observing the magnetic field, analyzing it, and then trying to simulate the model of its external structure.
"Then, after a night of testing, I found that I really seemed to succeed.
"I seem to have found its external structural features, and that is ......"
When Chen Chen said this key point, he paused again and looked at the reactions of the bigwigs in the venue.
These scientific research workers are very engaged in their spirit at this moment, and they are all very serious, very looking forward to it, waiting for their own answers.
And he stopped at the key point, which made many people itch, but they didn't dare to make a sound, so they could only hold back and wait.
And Chen Chen decided to reveal some truth a little.
If you completely make up the characteristics of this metal seed, although none of these people can guess it, but for yourself, there is no benefit in doing so.
Knowing a little bit of the truth is also good for your future plans.
So Chen Chen smiled and said: "Actually, I think that even if I don't say it, everyone will be able to guess sooner or later based on the characteristics of this meteorite."
"Think about it, it absorbs some iron, and it gains some weight, but it also consumes some of it in some form.
"It absorbs some of the aluminum, it grows a little heavier, but it also consumes some of it in some form.
"Absorbing nutrients and growing on their own, they also consume some raw materials, which may be converted into energy.
"Don't you think it's like a plant seed?"
After listening to Chen Chen's explanation, the people present suddenly showed expressions of sudden realization, according to the characteristics of the meteorite, isn't this just a seed!
And Chen Chen also continued: "It is like a seed, and its current external structure has hidden all the possibilities of its future.
"With the right environment, the right conditions, and enough nutrients, it will begin to grow and develop, slowly mature, and grow into what it is intended to be.
Chen Chen said, glanced at everyone present, and heard that he said that this meteorite was a seed, and these people were inexplicably relieved.
Sure enough, plants are safer than animals, and animals are safer than intelligent life.
However, I can't make them feel safe, I can't let them feel comfortable, and I have to create some sense of crisis to get them moving.
So Chen Chen continued: "However, I think everyone is as curious as I am, what will it become when it matures?
With this in mind, I began to further analyze the model of this embryo in an attempt to find clues.
"As we all know, if it is a plant seed, before it begins to develop, it is already possible to observe the general appearance of the embryo through its structure.
"When I looked closely at the embryonic structure of the seed, I found that it was neither a tree, nor a shrub, nor a herb.
"The appearance of its embryo is not like a plant at all, nor does it look like an animal, on the contrary, it is more like a machine, a machine with a very complex and elaborate mechanical structure.
"A self-growing machine, which makes me wonder if it's actually a special kind of robot that grows in a way similar to a plant, and can sacrifice its own energy and raw materials to perfect itself."
When Chen Chen said this, there was a burst of discussion at the scene.
An unusually bright old scholar with an unusually bright head couldn't help but speak:
"Trouble Chen Chen...... Teacher, wait a minute, you mean, this meteorite ...... This seed may be a special robot made by an extraterrestrial intelligent civilization that will grow on its own? ”
Chen Chen thought for a moment and replied, "Although I can't confirm it, this possibility is very high. ”
As soon as Chen Chen's answer came out, a series of exclamations immediately sounded at the scene.
The word robot, and plants, and animals, are completely different things.
If there are robots, it means that there are makers.
And the makers who made such self-growing robots are at least highly developed interstellar civilizations.
Before, everyone subconsciously thought that they might have found extraterrestrial life.
But now, it has directly become the product of a highly developed extraterrestrial civilization.
Intelligent life, and extraterrestrial life, are very different things that will have very different effects.
So, after all, do you still have to face the alien crisis?
It made everyone's hearts hang.
Many people can't control their emotions and directly call out their thoughts:
"Where did the intelligent life that made these self-growing robots come from? What is the purpose of throwing them to Earth? ”
"Since they can make such self-growing robots and throw their seeds to Earth across time and space, it means that their technology is more than an era ahead of us, and they can exterminate humans at any time?"
"In that case, are they throwing these special robot seeds to the earth just to exterminate us?"
"So we're here to study these robots, is that the same as dancing on the tip of a knife? Roasting a fire next to a dynamite pack?
"Will this iron lump suddenly move, and then kill all of us in an instant?"
These series of analyses stimulated the sensitive nerves of everyone present, especially the last guess, which really scared these people.
