Chapter 357: Ice Mars
On the Lagrange point L2 of the Little and Great Planets, there is a terrestrial planet.
Three deep-space probes arrived at the terrestrial planet a day earlier.
The planet is about 873 million kilometers away from the Little Celestial Star, and because it is located on the Lagrange point L2 in the interior of the Celestial Globe system, it cannot be illuminated by the Great Celestial Star.
In this way, the terrestrial planet can only receive sunlight from the red dwarf star of Little Tianya.
Originally, based on the intensity of the red dwarf's illumination, plus the distance of the planet, the planet should be an ice ball similar to Pluto.
The miraculous creation of the universe is full of countless possibilities.
Due to the influence of tidal locking, the planet has been facing the Little Heavens Star, and under the long-term sunlight of the Little Planet, the planet has shown a state of ice and fire.
On the front is a warm sea of hot soup, and on the back is a snow and ice.
Three deep-space probes are parked in an orbit 24,000 kilometers from the planet, which is the synchronous orbit of the icy Mars.
The size of Ice Mars is slightly smaller than that of Blue Star, and slightly larger than Mars, with a radius of 4811~4823 kilometers, no orbit, and a rotation speed of 18.67 hours per cycle (the South Pole, the North Pole and the Little End Star are in a straight line).
Guo Yong looked through these basic data, and the next data was the reason for his consternation.
The reconstructed planet model based on neutrino stream feedback data shows that it is a planet with life.
The tropics of Ice Mars are at the North Pole ~ the Arctic Circle, followed by the subtropics, temperate, subarctic (near the diurnal line), and the cold zone.
Except for the cold zone, which occupies one-third of the planet's area, the rest of the region is densely populated with life, whether it is animals, plants, or microorganisms, the ecosystem is quite complete.
Suddenly, Lin Zhonghua's eyes changed, and one of the areas was enlarged, and some buildings and "people" were moving.
"Captain's discovery! You see. ”
Guo Yong, who turned his head, looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at him, the more solemn his heart became: "Nibelons?"
Zooming in on the model of the area to bring up the specific scan data of those "people", these "people" are highly similar to the lizardmen's transformation form in terms of genes and body elemental composition, and the genes also contain the sequence of the X gene.
"It seems that these guys are not Nibelons, and they are related to Nibelons." Guo Yong analyzed.
"Captain, look at this place." Lin Zhonghua enclosed the central area of the settlement.
"Degenerate items? It looked like the wreckage of a spaceship, but the engine was gone. ”
While observing the Nibelons, the trio stored the findings and data on a communication spacecraft, which automatically sent back to the solar system through a wormhole.
The navigation mode and related data of the wormhole have been figured out, and the artificial intelligence of the spacecraft can be operated in a foolish manner to achieve automatic back and forth between the sides of the wormhole.
Guo Yong, who was controlling three deep-space probes, continued to investigate the group of Nibelons in depth.
The Nibelons have a total of 3,716 people, and their settlement is located on the subtropical land of Ice Mars, and the social structure is somewhat similar to that of a clan tribe, divided into two settlements.
At the level of science and technology, it is mainly biological, supplemented by simple machinery, and there is no obvious mechanical industry, and on the wreckage of the spaceship, there is an energy siphon reaction, which may still be able to operate.
Guo Yong took into account the situation of the previous Nibelon spaceship and positioned the threat level of the Nibelon tribe at 7.4.
The reason why it is positioned so high is mainly because the Nibelon spacecraft may have antimatter bombs, wormhole generation cores (large olives) and the like, all of which are extinction star existences.
……
New Era 4, December 12.
It has been 7 days since the discovery of the Ice Mars and the Nibelon tribe.
The instructions of the Supreme Will of the New Humanity arrived at the Tianya outpost, and before the true technological level of this group of Nibelons was determined, the outpost was tasked with gathering intelligence and alerting the Tianya outpost.
The size of the observation center of the outpost has also been expanded from the previous three Guo Yong to nine.
In the cabin of the observation center, Guo Yong is compiling intelligence data these days.
To avoid surprise, three deep-sky probes have been disguised as asteroids orbiting icy Mars.
From the data collected these days, they have made a preliminary picture of the Nibelungs tribe, which is divided into two hostile tribes
The shipwreck tribe that occupies the shipwreck, the Red Sea tribe on the island.
The population of the two sides is about the same, and from the perspective of genetic testing, the two tribes have obvious blood relations, and the population age is between 1~673 blue star years, and the mode of reproduction is similar to asexual reproduction.
Each of the two tribes has an ultra-old Nibelungs, one 673 and one 614, who are supposed to be the original founders of both tribes, and most likely the survivors of the ship.
From the age data of the two tribes and the second generation of offspring, it can be preliminarily judged that they were born 213 years ago.
This speculative result is also basically consistent with the time when the Nibelons appeared on the blue star.
……
Lin Zhonghua enlarged the Chihai tribe, pointed to the room of the original survivor and said, "Captain, I found something that is very similar to the heart of the Nibelon in our database. ”
After taking a look, Guo Yong didn't make a fuss, after all, there was spaceship wreckage on Ice Mars, and the other party would definitely get some items from the spaceship.
He casually recorded this piece of information, and then ordered: "Zhonghua, you pay more attention to the items of the two tribes, especially the spaceship wreckage party things." ”
"Okay, I'm doing my best to investigate."
He is now concentrating on the study of the Nebelons' asexual reproduction and biotechnology, and can only give Lin Zhonghua the task of investigating the wreckage of the spaceship.
In terms of the planetary model formed by the neutrino feedback data, both tribes have focused on biotechnology, and have even established quite specialized biological laboratories.
There are many animals, plants, and microorganisms on Ice Mars, which are worn with very obvious traces of biochemical modification.
These Nibelons may not have fully inherited the technology of the Nibelon civilization.
A cosmic civilization with low-sub-light spaceships, artificial wormhole technology, and degenerate material technology, if these people inherit the technology of the Nibelon civilization, they can create glory in minutes.
And after 213 years, it will not be able to get out of the ice Mars.
The Heart of the Nibelon should have the functions of communication and positioning, but in the past for so long, the Nibelon civilization has not come to rescue these people, and it is estimated that the Nibelon civilization has been more than lucky.
The Nibelung civilization, which can destroy at least an intermediate civilization, shows that the opponent's strength has an overwhelming advantage, which is worthy of the attention of the new humans.
The intelligence gathering work continued, and the war between the two tribes became the best way for Guo Yong and them to gather intelligence.
Several skirmishes were observed, and the Observation Center gained a lot of useful information.
For example, to kill a Nibelon, the brain must be destroyed; Due to the intensification of biotechnology, ordinary chemical energy weapons are basically unable to kill the Nibelons.
The Nibelungs' asexual reproduction, which is to lay "eggs" directly, seems to be through the genetic diversity of the population, and the limbs of the enemies killed in battle will be brought back and used as breeding mothers.
Judging by the time span and population size, the Nibelons should not have reproduced quickly.
One by one, the intelligence was analyzed and sent back to the Blue Star through the observation center.
