Chapter 396, the biggest discovery of the century

Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan are searching for traces of life at the North Pole of Mars, and on the other hand, in the southern hemisphere of Mars, scientists, engineers, and astronauts are also busy.

The northern hemisphere of Mars is a very young plain, an endless plain, but in the southern hemisphere of Mars, it is a highland with a very ancient history, and of course this so-called highland is also relative to the plains of the northern hemisphere.

In a flat and open place with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, the altitude of Mars is not the same as the altitude on the earth, the altitude of the earth is calculated by sea level, Mars because there is not much water, naturally there is no ocean, it is naturally impossible to calculate the altitude by sea level.

So the altitude above Mars is calculated based on the deepest part of Mariner Canyon, the largest canyon on Mars, and this altitude of more than 4,000 meters sounds like a lot.

But you must know that the deepest Mariana Trench on the earth is tens of thousands of meters deep, and if we take this as a starting point, the position of any one of us is also 10,000 meters above sea level.

Between the skies, several spaceships descended from the sky to this barren world.

Engineering vehicles drove out of the spacecraft, and scientists, engineers, and astronauts also stepped on the land of Mars in spacesuits.

"What a desolate world!"

Long Zhankong stepped on the land of Mars, and he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the desolate scene in front of him.

The surface of Mars is weathered very badly, large and small gravel is dense, accompanied by gusts of wind to raise gusts of dust, the visibility is not high, the sand pile here is not the same as the desert on the earth, every sand pile on Mars is actually a big stone after a long time of weathering, and there are large and small rocks, sharp edges and corners.

"It's time to get to work~"

A voice sounded, and the astronauts and engineers began to get busy, driving one engineer after another to start building the Mars base.

Scientists are preparing to build a permanent Mars base here, of course, at present, this base must be an unmanned base, Mars is still a little far from the Earth, and it is not easy to make a round trip.

It is clearly impossible to build a regular round-trip voyage at great cost without discovering a resource of great value.

Moreover, the distance between Mars and the Earth is constantly changing, and it is good when it is close, but once it is the farthest away, it will be difficult to achieve material supply and personnel replacement if it is separated by a sun.

Unless particularly valuable resources are discovered on Mars, it is possible to build an inhabited Martian base driven by commercial forces.

The unmanned base is also built for long-term exploration of Mars, studying the climate of Mars, looking for Martian resources, and preparing for the next development of Mars in the future.

Because there is a lot of experience in building a lunar base on the moon, it is naturally very simple to build a Mars base now, not to mention the scientists and engineers of the Galaxy Technology Group, and there are even companies that specialize in building bases on the earth.

These companies have developed a variety of bases, as long as the customer needs it, they can make it happen, as long as they can afford it, everything is not a problem, it is fast, and the base is very safe and reliable.

A construction truck pushes gravel, sand, etc. away from the area of the platform to create a large flat area, and then starts piling to secure the base.

Just over an hour passed, and soon a large-scale Martian base appeared on the surface of Mars, and at the same time, on a high flagpole, bright red flags also began to rise, this scene naturally has to be recorded, and it can also be used as evidence when fighting for sovereignty over Mars in the future.

As cosmic astronomical scientists, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin also drove an engineering vehicle and began to walk on the surface of Mars, preparing to find some ancient meteorites, rocks and other things, and collect mud and rocks deep on Mars, so as to study the history of Mars and even the history of the solar system.

On the other side, the North Pole of Mars.

Precious samples from under the ice are constantly being collected, and Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan can't wait for them to return to the 'Kuafu' spacecraft immediately to analyze these samples.

"Return to the spaceship immediately and return to space as soon as possible!"

When the last sample was collected, Liu Daoming did not hesitate at all, and quickly ordered the spacecraft to take off and return to space.

More than a dozen minutes later, the spacecraft returned to the 'Kuafu' spacecraft very smoothly, and the collected samples were sent to the scientists' laboratories as soon as possible.

"There's definitely extraterrestrial life here! You see, the closer amino acids are to the deep layer, the more they are, which means that amino acids come from the inside, not from the outside, and there is only one source of amino acids, and that is microorganisms. ”

"The survival ability of microorganisms is extremely tenacious, and the most survivable water bears can survive for several days at minus 200 degrees, can survive for a long time in high temperatures of more than 100 degrees, and can also survive well in a radiation environment of more than 5,000 grays, knowing that radiation of 10-20 grays can easily kill humans and most animals on the earth."

Li Jingxuan was analyzing the sample excitedly, and at the same time, because the whole person was excited, his voice was a little inaccurate when he spoke, and the whole person was unusually excited.

"Oh my God! There are really living things, and there are so many of them, these microorganisms actually have a cellular structure, but this structure is a bit strange. ”

"A large number of microbiota were discovered, which is a complete tribal group of microorganisms, the largest of which is already 0.1 millimeters in size and has multicellular complexes."

"The discovery that shocked the world is that most of these organisms are fungi, a small number of bacteria, and a very small number of multicellular life, this is a world that is slowly evolving!"

This news instantly caused a sensation in the entire "Kuafu" spacecraft and the control center far away on the earth, the major discovery on Mars means that the universe is full of life, human beings and the earth are not alone, and life is likely to be born where there is water in the universe.

You must know that under the 100-meter-thick ice layer of Mars, there is still liquid water, and there is really extraterrestrial life in these liquid waters, which is definitely one of the most significant discoveries of this century!

"There are really creatures on Mars, although these creatures are still very simple, but they are life, which means that life is not limited to Earth, it is very likely to exist in every corner of the universe."

"In other galaxies outside the solar system, on some planets whose conditions are very close to the earth, there may really be intelligent beings like us humans, but because the universe is too vast, we have never encountered each other so far."

On this side of the earth, the scientists of the Galaxy Science Research Institute are all crazy, there is really life outside the earth, and naturally everyone clearly knows that there must be many, many advanced intelligent life forms like human beings in the universe.

In the past, I thought that I was the only life in the universe, because I had not found any extraterrestrial life, and of course, because human beings have always been confined to the earth, and the farthest place was only a trip to the moon, and I really knew too little about the universe and life.

"Tell the world about this."

Qin Yi thought about it and commanded, it's time to let the people of the global world know about extraterrestrial life, and it is naturally a very reasonable thing to encounter aliens in the future.

Soon, the Galaxy Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Scientists officially held a press conference to officially announce to the world that the "Kuafu" spacecraft had discovered extraterrestrial life on Mars, and at the same time broadcast photos and videos of extraterrestrial life found on Mars.

"I'm dying~I'm an alien~"

"It's over, the world is over, there are really aliens, they're going to invade the earth~"

"The Kwafu spacecraft has discovered Martians on Mars."

As soon as the news came out, the world was in a panic, and if ordinary people understood it literally, they thought that Martians had been found on Mars, and that Martians were going to attack the earth.

However, soon experts and scholars came forward to explain one of the most important discoveries of this century, telling everyone that there is no need to be afraid at all, although it is extraterrestrial life, but it is some fungi, bacteria and other things, and there is no threat to human beings on the earth, you don't have to worry, it is not Martian or anything at all.

The emotions of ordinary people were quickly calmed down, and everyone quickly figured out the true face of this extraterrestrial life, so naturally they would not panic.

As for the scientific community, scientists on Earth have become silent one by one, and they know very well what extraterrestrial life has been found on Mars.

This means that life should be very common in the universe, and it also means that there must be advanced intelligent beings like humans in the universe, and it also means that there must be some civilizations with a higher level of development than the earth.

It also means that once human beings truly enter the vast interstellar universe and get along with countless civilizations and races in the universe, the fate of human beings is unknown.

Can you become a colonizer, a predator, and be at the top of the food chain, or can you become an object of exploitation, enslavement, and colonization?

All this is obviously difficult to say, but one thing is certain, and that is that the truth is only within the range of the cannon!

PS: It's almost time to go out~~
