Chapter 214, Bureau of Cosmological Affairs
When Chinese scientists conducted scientific expeditions on Mars, they found the existence of extraterrestrial life in the depths of the ice at the South Pole of Mars, although it was only some microorganisms, but this is one of the most significant discoveries in this century, which also means that life is widespread on the earth's unexpected planet and world, and scientists boldly predict that aliens are absolutely existent, and the earth is definitely not a unique life planet in the universe.
The news of the discovery of extraterrestrial life on Mars was quickly transmitted to the earth, and the official media in China reported the matter in detail, and Liu Yi also submitted an analysis and research report on the news to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The microbiota of Mars has been thriving for hundreds of millions of years, because under the thick Martian Antarctic ice cap, it can be said that it is very stable, and it has hardly changed much over the years, and the microbial population is very large.
Relying on the heat and minerals from the eruption of the Martian volcano to survive, a thriving microcosm has flourished beneath the ice cap of the south pole of Mars, but after all, in a place like Mars, microbes can survive, but it is impossible to evolve more complex life.
Recently, Chinese scientists found liquid water under the ice of the South Pole of Mars when taking the "Ocean Coast" spacecraft to conduct scientific investigations, and found a huge microbiota in the liquid water, which marks the existence of extraterrestrial life, and also means that the earth and human beings are absolutely not alone in the universe, which is the most significant discovery of this century.
Foreign news media also gave a lot of praise to this, but the Chinese people can still clearly see a sour taste from their words.
In the past, the major scientific advances or major scientific and technological discoveries on the earth were basically Europeans and Americans, and it can be seen from the various units named after Europeans and Americans, such as Herl, Hertz, Joule, etc., the theory of biological evolution, Newton's laws, the theory of relativity, the periodic table, etc., the most basic and most significant discoveries in the fields of physics, biology and chemistry are also Europeans and Americans, after all, they are the origin of modern science.
But now, the discovery of extraterrestrial life, landing on Mars, space technology, biotechnology and many other fields, Europeans and Americans have found that they have gradually fallen behind, this major discovery of extraterrestrial life has made Europeans and Americans feel that the focus of science and technology seems to be slowly shifting to China, and the development of science and technology in the new era is led by China.
"In the field of science and technology that we were proud of, we used to have too many, too many scientific terms named after ourselves, but now, I don't know what's wrong, we have gradually fallen behind Huaxia too much, maybe in the future we will find more and more scientific terms named after Huaxia people, which has to be said to be a sadness!"
The Western media has made an in-depth reflection on this, because in recent years, Huaxia has sprung up in the field of science and technology, from the new field of biotechnology virus led by Li Fu to the field of virtual technology and technology, and then to the field of space science and technology, Huaxia has gradually led Europe and the United States.
Although Chinese people have always disliked to name things after themselves, otherwise, if they learn from Europeans and Americans, they can come up with a lot of them, such as the biotechnology field first discovered by Li Fu, which can be called Li's field, Lee's law, Li Fu's virus, and so on.
Of course, the discovery of extraterrestrial life has no impact on the lives of ordinary people on Earth, at most, everyone knows that there is life in unexpected places on Earth, and maybe there will be aliens visiting Earth in the future.
However, for all countries in the world, this impact is very huge, and the existence and absence of extraterrestrial life are definitely two different things, which is enough to make all countries on the earth pay great attention to it.
Extraterrestrial life has been found on Mars, and you must know that Mars should belong to a desolate, cold, and lifeless world in the past, and there will be extraterrestrial life on such a harsh planet.
So in the universe, if there are some planets with better conditions than Mars, then does it mean that there will be aliens and alien civilizations, and earthlings and earth civilizations are definitely not unique.
How the earth should face aliens and alien civilizations, what will happen to aliens and alien civilizations to earthlings, and how should earth civilizations treat alien civilizations and aliens, etc., these questions are all worth pondering.
Other countries don't know, on the Huaxia side, when Tang Yunshan received the news, soon the Huaxia official set up an organization, the Space Affairs Bureau, to specialize in the study of extraterrestrial life, and at the same time formulate corresponding policies against aliens and extraterrestrial civilizations.
Huaxia is now the most powerful country on the earth, the most powerful country in the field of space, it stands to reason that once it encounters an alien civilization, Huaxia should be the first to come into contact with an alien civilization, so all aspects must be prepared in advance.
There are two main tasks of the Space Affairs Bureau at this stage, the first is to find extraterrestrial civilizations, the existence of extraterrestrial life can basically conclude that there must be aliens and alien civilizations in the universe, but I don't know if the earth is too remote, or the universe is too vast, and it is too difficult to connect with each other, so until now, the earth has not officially contacted extraterrestrial civilizations.
Of course, there is also a possibility, maybe the earth's scientific and technological level is too low, even if an alien civilization visits the earth, but the earthlings still don't know, this kind of inference makes people shudder, because backward technology means being beaten, and earthlings must not put their fate in the hands of others.
In addition to searching for extraterrestrial life and extraterrestrial civilizations, another job of the Space Affairs Bureau is to study how to interact with extraterrestrial civilizations, how to defend the earth and the solar system when encountering powerful satellite civilizations, and whether we should learn from Europeans to conduct interstellar colonization in the interstellar era when encountering weak alien civilizations.
These things seem to be very far away from us, after all, it is just a few microorganisms found on Mars, but Tang Yunshan knows that everything that is predetermined will be established, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted, once it is really something to do when it comes, it will definitely be too late.
Another is that the speed of scientific and technological development is really space, a few years ago everyone was still looking up at the moon, imagining Chang'e on the moon now, but only a few years later, we have become accustomed to lunar tourism.
We are still imagining the void of the universe, imagining what aliens and alien civilizations will look like, maybe in a few years, we can really go out of the solar system, enter the interstellar universe, and see countless alien civilizations, all of which are possible.
Therefore, once the person in charge of Huaxia's space field, now Huaxia's No. 1, Tang Yunshan's vision is very far, he is already laying the foundation for the future, he doesn't want to see Huaxia look embarrassed when dealing with alien civilizations in the future, and he doesn't want to revisit the humiliating history of more than a hundred years ago.
The establishment of the Space Affairs Bureau now seems to have no great effect, but this is also Huaxia is preparing for the future into the interstellar universe era, in addition, Tang Yunshan's side also decided to implement the space battleship plan as soon as possible, Huaxia must have a strong space military force.
In this way, they can have enough power to ensure their own interests in the changing cosmic waves of the future, even if an alien civilization really wants to invade the solar system and the earth, it can also have the strength to contend with it, rather than having no power to resist.
……
In the outer space of Mars in the solar system, spacecraft No. 1 and No. 2 have successfully returned from Mars to the "Ocean" spacecraft, and the two spacecraft have traveled back and forth to Mars many times, collecting a large number of Mars samples, which are of great help to scientists to have a comprehensive understanding of Mars.
The scientific expedition to Mars can basically be declared over, and the harvest is very huge, and we know exactly how much water resources are stored on Mars, and we also know that Mars is actually a very barren planet, and the mineral resources are even inferior to the Moon.
However, scientists have now determined that Mars is indeed suitable for transforming into a living planet and a new home suitable for human habitation, because although Mars is poor in resources, it has a lot of water and carbon dioxide, water is the source of life, and everything else is easy to say about water.
Of course, the most important harvest is the discovery of extraterrestrial life under the ice of the South Pole of Mars, which proves that the earth and earthlings are definitely not unique beings in the universe, how vast the universe is, I don't know how many stars and planets, there will definitely be aliens and alien civilizations, about this, scientists on the earth have reached a consensus.
"It's time to go, the next target is Ceres in the asteroid belt."
Chen Bin came to Li Fu's side lightly, stayed on Mars for more than 1 month, conducted a comprehensive and detailed study of Mars, and obtained a large amount of first-hand information about Mars, which will play a very important role in transforming Mars in the future and understanding the origin and development of the solar system.
"It's time to go, let's go."
Li Fu nodded and gave a gentle order, at this time, his teacher Liu Yi was still working tirelessly on the microbiota on Mars, Liu Shiying has been very busy recently, he was recruited by the Space Affairs Bureau, and every day he participated in various meetings through the virtual machine to discuss how to deal with aliens and alien civilizations and build space warships in the future.
The "Ocean-going spacecraft" erupts a long, blazing tail flame, which rotates around Mars faster and faster, making full use of Mars' gravitational pull, and the spacecraft can save a lot of energy.
A few dozen laps later, the Ocean spacecraft derailed from orbit and headed for the outer reaches of the solar system to continue its scientific expedition, this time to Ceres, located in the asteroid belt.
The orbit of Mars is very close to the asteroid belt, and the "Ocean" spacecraft flew from Mars to the asteroid belt in just over 1 month, of course, the range of the asteroid belt is very wide, and the spacecraft only entered the range of the asteroid belt, and began to slowly discover asteroids in the void.
The "Ocean-going spacecraft" is now the largest and most advanced spacecraft, and it is not at all difficult for the "Ocean-going" spacecraft to capture asteroids.
As soon as the captured asteroid was transported back to the huge "Ocean-Going" spacecraft, science, which had been impatient for a long time, immediately dissected and tested the asteroid in various ways.
Radioactive materials in dirt and rocks can tell scientists how old they are; The composition of soil and rocks can be deduced from the cause and time of its formation; The structure of the elemental substance and the substance formed can be inferred from its life experience......
"This is an asteroid that is only 3.2 billion years old, it was supposed to be part of a massive planet, some kind of big impact smashed it out, it seems that astronomers deduced that in the early days of the solar system, this asteroid belt should really have a massive planet, but then I don't know why it was crushed!"
Based on the captured asteroids, scientists deduced that they should have been massive planets in the asteroid belt before, but they were later crushed by unknown reasons and became the current asteroid ring.
The power of science is so great that it is possible to deduce what happened billions of years ago based on just a few things, and the asteroids of the asteroid belt are very important for studying the formation and development of the solar system, which is why this scientific expedition is going to investigate the asteroid belt.
The first is to evaluate and count the resources of the asteroid belt, and the other is to study the history of the formation and development of the solar system through the study of meteorites and asteroids in the asteroid belt.
The asteroid that has been unloaded into eight pieces has been sent into the furnace by scientists, and this asteroid containing a large amount of metal is a valuable metal resource.
"Continue to hunt asteroids, preferably to discover some special asteroids, and everyone will have a gift when they return to Earth!" The scientists screamed.
Fly all the way, catch different types of asteroids and meteorites all the way, study these asteroids and meteorites, constantly evaluate the distribution of resources in the asteroid belt, and study the history of the solar system, these asteroids in the asteroid belt are easier for scientists to study the history and evolution of the solar system than the earth and Mars.
PS: There are too many activities to visit relatives and friends these days, and I will start to pay off my debts after these few days.
