"Dididi~" Before going to bed, Su Xiaoting received a new message, which was actually sent by Shangguan Haozhe, asking her to participate in Long Ling's final verdict tomorrow.

Looks like we're busy again tomorrow! If she suddenly disappeared, I hope Shangguan Haozhe will not chase after her.

In the afternoon of the next day, Su Xiaoting attended the final review.

As a good citizen who has abided by the law and is honest and trustworthy since childhood, in the future court, his heart will suddenly be weak like a drum. Fortunately, she only appeared in court for less than 10 minutes during the whole process, not to mention, with the great god Shangguan Haozhe, no one paid attention to her little shrimp at all.

"In accordance with the provisions of Articles 63 and 150 of the Criminal Law of the United Republic of China: The facts of the defendant's crime are clear and the evidence is sufficient, and he shall be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of murdering women.

Step 4: Landing on an alien planet

Prepare well for the landing, then set up alien camps and even terraform aliens. During the Starship carrying humans to the target planet, the spacecraft may have to eject small probes into orbit along the way to other planets that are in the same star-planetary system as the target planet. By studying the spectrum of light from a planet's atmosphere, we can identify interesting compounds such as water and methane. If we find a chemical reaction that is out of equilibrium, it could mean that there is life on the planet. If there really is an extraterrestrial ecosystem, then we will be exposed to danger from there, and we will bring the danger there. On Earth, the New World was devastated when diseases from the Old World (the Eastern Hemisphere, Europe, Asia, and Africa) were introduced to the New World (the Western Hemisphere or North and South America and its nearby islands) 500 years ago. At the same time, the ills of the New World spread to the Old World. In the famous sci-fi "The Great War Between Many Worlds", the Martian invaders are wiped out by the common cold on Earth. This is not without reason - aliens may be incapable of being resistant to pathogens on Earth,

Because they have never faced these pathogens, it is impossible for them to evolve defenses; And once the earthlings reach a living alien, it is entirely possible that they will face the same destruction. Therefore, in the initial stages of landing on planets outside the solar system, the situation should be ascertained by robotic astronauts first, and then the landing should be carried out by human astronauts wearing protective suits. Of course, some crises can be quite subtle and will not emerge for a long time. The people of the earth do not have the slightest experience in the face of a very different ecology. Therefore, it is better for the earthlings to go to the alien planet where they settle without any life. If the alien environment conditions are similar to those of the Earth, then the Earth settlers could introduce the Earth's organisms (including plants, animals, and microorganisms) to the planet. This requires that the alien planet should be at least within the "habitable zone". That is, it is neither too far nor too close to the parent star, neither too cold nor too hot, so that liquid water can exist on the surface of the planet.

Of course, to support the survival of life from Earth, aliens must have not only liquid water, but also an atmosphere to breathe. We can even reconstruct the evolution of life on Earth on an extraterrestrial basis, starting with the introduction of microorganisms. In order to thrive in hot, cold, or chemically dangerous alien environments, we may need to introduce microbes that can tolerate extreme conditions into extraterrestrial environments to produce carbon dioxide. As the alien environment improved, plants were also introduced to the extraterrestrial planet for photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. The result of all this is the terraforming of the alien environment. In a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "New Alien",

A company involved in "building a better world" on alien planets, the terraforming of aliens took only a few decades to complete. In fact, such transformations take much longer – at least hundreds of years. However, once the terraforming of the alien planet is completed, the alien planet will really look like a second Earth. Step 5: Contact with aliens for the first timeWhat should we do if we encounter an advanced alien civilization? In the film and television drama "Star Trek"

, there is a ready-made set of guidelines to restrain contact between earthlings and aliens. For example, the guide says that an advanced human race should not interfere with the development of extraterrestrial civilizations. Once a human race has become advanced enough to be able to travel into space, the first contact with extraterrestrials should follow the principle of "case-by-case analysis".

So far, there is no official agreement to define the problem: if an extraterrestrial civilization is found, how should the earthlings respond? However, if we do have our first encounter with aliens, it may not be fundamentally different from the first encounter between different cultures on Earth. On the plus side, one example is the Native American "Scando" who taught European immigrants how to catch eels and grow corn. On the negative side, when Britain's Captain Cook landed in New Zealand,

The Maori welcomed him with their war dance, but the British misinterpreted it as a threat, so they opened fire on the Maori instead of extending an olive branch (which is a Maori tradition). Aliens may look like spiders or snakes, and we may shy away from them. They may also resemble birds or fish, but are much more intelligent. So, we'd better not go to them with prejudice. Any gift we bring to them must be carefully sanitized beforehand, and they may not even understand the concept of gift-giving. In short, nothing can be assumed in advance. One of the important goals of the first agreement to define the principles of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations was to avoid hostility. If we are faced with outright alien cultures that are hard to avoid, our entry into their territory will most likely be seen as invasive or dangerous. Wearing protective clothing to avoid cross-contamination may be seen as a fear of them. One thing we can assume is that aliens are as curious about us as we are about them. What do we look like in their eyes? Will we be threatened by them? How will we live on alien planets? What will they learn from us? All these interesting questions will only be answered until the day when we actually settle on extraterrestrial planets or encounter extraterrestrial civilizations. And isn't curiosity about these questions part of the impetus that drives us to make space travel a reality?
