Chapter 141: The Secret of Ceres
Li Chunfeng is not worried that the phoenix will not join her, for her, who is already a prisoner, she actually does not have much choice.
Now it's just a time for Phoenix to convince himself, as a biologist, there is not much difference between doing research and development for the Heaven Organization and doing things for Li Chunfeng, both for the sake of pursuing a longer lifespan.
For the Heaven Organization, in fact, Phoenix does not have much loyalty, after all, in that Western-dominated organization, Phoenix has always been subjected to all kinds of discrimination and exclusion.
If it weren't for the phoenix growing up later, reaching the third-level standard, and thus becoming a divine envoy, the situation would definitely be even more embarrassing.
In addition, after becoming a divine envoy, Phoenix used the power to control genetic modification research and introduced many Orientals, which formed a little bit of power, but also caused Carlos to be more hostile.
These situations are all conclusions that Li Chunfeng saw and analyzed when she was induced to confess in a dream by the phoenix in her dreams, and deduced the process of her transformation from a newcomer to a divine envoy in the Heavenly Organization.
In fact, what Li Chunfeng values most is Phoenix's ability in the field of biological genes. In this regard, because there are many biological experiments in the virtual world that cannot be simulated, Li Chunfeng, who lacks experiments, naturally needs a biologist like Phoenix to assist.
For the time being, Li Chunfeng did not pay attention to the phoenix anymore, but turned his mind to space again.
There, the transport ship formation was continuing to fly towards Ceres.
As Li Chunfeng descended on the clone in the command room, the huge display screen in front of him was displaying the image of the target Ceres.
This is the footage sent back by the "Pathfinder" probe sent in the early stage.
Located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, Ceres is about 950 kilometers in diameter and has previously been confirmed by human studies on Earth to have a large amount of ice inside.
The Europa Space Agency reported in the journal Nature that they used the Herschel telescope to find water vapor on Ceres for the first time, which came from a darker region of Ceres' surface.
The amount of water vapor is not large, about 6 kilograms per second, but this discovery is significant for confirming that there is water on Ceres.
Researchers speculate that there may be two specific reasons for the water vapor: the rapid heating of the ice on Ceres' surface by the sun's exposure, and the fact that there is still energy inside Ceres. Scientists speculate that there may be oceans with liquid water.
On the other hand, in May and June last year, NASA's "Dawn" unmanned probe observed it at close range and found that the Bakato crater above it had strange bright white spots, which became the object of speculation among scientists.
Regarding the "Dawn" unmanned probe currently orbiting Ceres, Li Chunfeng can only say "sorry" to the NASA of National M.
At this time, "kamikaze 3.0" had already invaded it, and then took control of it, and as the formation gradually approached, "Dawn" lost contact with NASA M three days ago.
To this end, NASA M made all sorts of efforts and tried to observe through the Hubble telescope, and the results were, of course, disappointing to them.
Because Li Chunfeng prepared some photos of the "Dawn" being hit by a meteorite and seriously damaged through the simulation of the virtual world, and then transmitted it to the NASA of M by the Hubble telescope controlled by himself.
So just yesterday, the NASA of M has issued a statement, claiming that the "Dawn" was completely destroyed by a meteorite.
No one knew that the "Dawn" was still working at the moment, but all the results were transmitted to Li Chunfeng.
Given that Ceres is the largest in the asteroid belt and has the potential for water, it is clearly the most suitable base location.
Even if someone lives at this base in the future, at least there is no need to worry about water.
As for the bright spot in the Bakato crater photographed by the "Dawn", Li Chunfeng did not want to guess what it was.
Instead, prepare to land directly around there in formation, what the hell is, just go forward and take a look. In the past, humans on Earth could not do it, but now they can.
Next, the formation has two days to arrive at Ceres, and it is just in time to continue the previous space experiment.
Last time, Li Chunfeng had obtained a large amount of data, established a corresponding model, and conducted a preliminary simulation in the virtual world.
Basically, it can be determined that the string theory is correct, and on this basis, Li Chunfeng discovered the secrets of space.
People often think that space is a vacuum, with nothing but some high-energy particles whizzing by, so space is often called the void.
In fact, after Li Chunfeng's deduction on the basis of string theory, there are various string waves in space, such as ocean currents in the earth's ocean, and if there are instruments that can detect them, then flying in space will be able to make full use of such string waves.
If it is the kind of sine wave with energy, once the space battleship moves in the direction of the oscillation of the sine wave energy, it will be able to greatly increase the speed of flight in space.
Just like a bird flying in the atmosphere, it is possible to gain more speed with less force when downwind.
There is also a more magical way to use the sine wave, if there is some kind of device, the energy provided by the two ends of the sine wave to form a resonance mode, maybe it can be realized in space, the possibility of direct docking of the two points.
For example, when a piece of paper is folded, a hole is pierced with a needle, and when it is opened, there are two holes, and the two holes have an internal connection, and if there is energy to stimulate this internal connection, the paper will fold again, and the two holes will coincide.
In other words, this device is similar to the space transition device of the higher civilization picked up by the Iceman, which can jump from one point to another.
The manifestations are the same, but the internal principles are different. What Li Chunfeng wants to do now is to first detect the two points connected by the sine wave, and then create some kind of device to add energy, so that the space folds or the two points in space recoincide, so that the space battleship with this device can pass through this overlapping point, so as to achieve an effect similar to a space gate.
Now Li Chunfeng is planning to study this kind of sine wave detector, only by being able to detect the existence and size of the sine wave can he accurately find the corresponding two endpoints that are intrinsically connected, and then he can further open the door to the two points.
At present, this is a big project, and for the time being, Li Chunfeng can only further collect a large amount of sine wave data through his mind in space.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, during which Phoenix finally bowed his head and expressed his position to the female assistant, Li Chunfeng learned the news.
So I took a moment to turn my mind back to Haidu.
"Did you figure it out?" Li Chunfeng descended into a doppelganger this time and came to the room where the phoenix was.
Phoenix nodded and said, "The study of the human genetic code is my favorite career, and I also need to breathe freely, so I decided to join you." ”
Li Chunfeng smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'm glad you made the right choice." This is one of my most important research projects to unlock the human genetic code and make human beings live longer, and I hope you can devote yourself to it as soon as possible. ”
"Since I chose to join, I naturally want to start working as soon as possible," Phoenix said. ”
Li Chunfeng said: "Before that, I hope you can do one more thing, which is to list the list of the Chosen or Scientists you can gather and their locations, and I will arrange for them all to be brought in." ”
Phoenix was surprised: "Have you all received Haidu?" I was able to gather more than a hundred Chosen Ones, all but twenty members of the Knights, all of whom were scientists in several fields. ”
"It's not Haidu, it's my base. You make the list, and then I start arranging.
Also, I'll have a lab for you at the base where you can continue to study the genetic code, which you've been doing in Heaven before.
The purpose of your organization is only to unlock the genetic lock, but the side effects break this lifespan limit, allowing people who can withstand genetic modification to reach 180 years of life.
Our research is focused on breaking the genetic limits of human lifespan, so I'm going to give you some new ideas as well, and I need you to help me move forward in this area. Li Chunfeng explained.
"Okay, when can I start working?" Phoenix asked.
"After giving the list, I will have someone send you to the base, there are also your old subordinates, and of course your old lover Luo Siming, but his situation is a little strange, I can allow you to study him." Li Chunfeng said.
When Phoenix heard Luo Siming, thinking of Li Chunfeng's identity and the strength he had, he also understood why Luo Siming was chased and killed when he fled before.
"Well, Luo Siming is just unrequited love for me, when I saw that he had a strong talent in strategy, I gave him a chance to become the Chosen One, but I didn't expect him to succeed. Now, I understand that he has offended you, and if you want to take revenge on him, I will not have a problem. Phoenix said indifferently.
Li Chunfeng didn't expect that Phoenix didn't have much affection for Luo Siming, and said immediately: "Although the whole thing started because of him, he is now in a state where he can't wake up."
I want to see if God takes him. Until then, though, you'd better get enough samples from him. ”
"Okay. What should I call you? Phoenix asked respectfully.
Li Chunfeng said: "My name, you must know it, right? Just call me boss, though. ”
Phoenix said: "I checked, your name is Li Chunfeng, and Wu Yumeng's ex-boyfriend is twin brothers, and this name was changed to commemorate him." ”
Li Chunfeng listened to it, and felt a little ridiculous, but it seemed to be good.
"Okay, you hurry up and work, Assistant Seven is your full-time assistant, you can find her for anything, and she will do it for you." Li Chunfeng explained.
Although Phoenix was a little confused, he didn't want to make a bad impression on Li Chunfeng, so he didn't ask too much.
Li Chunfeng then left, he wanted to return to the transport plane formation in space, and at this moment the formation had already flown over Ceres.
Looking at Ceres, which is almost as desolate and silent as the moon, although there are not as many craters on the moon, there are many craters.
The rotation period of Ceres is 9 hours and 4 minutes, which is that a day on Ceres is only 9 hours on Earth.
Li Chunfeng planned to let the formation land next to the Bakato crater first, and after discovering the secret of the bright spot, he would go to the conical mountain on the other side of Ceres.
The cone, which is more than 6,000 meters high, is bordered by a large plain, ideal for building a city, and on top of the cone, it is suitable for building a powerful defensive weapon, the electromagnetic railgun.
The Pathfinder had already detected that there was no sign of life on Ceres, and that there was a huge nickel iron ore near the plain, so it was suitable for building a base.
With Li Chunfeng's command, the formation quickly landed on Ceres, and since the gravitational pull of Ceres was only 0.028G, it was almost floating when walking.
A team of "wrestlers" and a "gopher-drilling" floated down from a flying saucer and jumped towards the bright spots, yes, like zombies.
Of course, if Li Chunfeng goes down to walk, he must put on Pose, and he will definitely walk more handsome than the bamboo forest fight in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Previously, Li Chunfeng had already sent a "Hurricane" to release four communication satellites, completely enveloping Ceres in the communication network.
So not long after the "wrestlers" went, the detection report was sent back synchronously, and the secret of the bright spot was immediately revealed.
Seeing the report, Li Chunfeng couldn't help but ponder.
It turns out that this bright spot is not an icy water substance as speculated by geoscientists, nor a salt ice material, but an ice crystal material that does not exist on Earth.
Because it did not bring more sophisticated analytical instruments, it can only be roughly detected, it has a very high ability to reflect light, and the texture is very hard, and from the outside, it looks a bit like a diamond on the earth.
When Li Chunfeng scanned it with his mind, he was suddenly a little surprised.
