A gust of wind that had lasted for nearly three days finally subsided. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The last remaining grains of sand and dust in this pile of gravel were also wiped away by the strong wind.

As far as the eye can see, only patches of gravel cover the ground, stretching to the sky, which is a different sight.

In this small oasis, many unknown greenery, which had just been ravaged by the wind, was now staggering to the ground.

Suddenly, a fallen plant was pushed upwards and made a rustling sound.

“#￥，#￥%#*（......”

A strange-looking creature peeks out from beneath the ground.

“...... & amp; amp; amp; ##*，（#￥！ ......”

After another sound, a slightly smaller bizarre creature of the same type emerged.

In appearance, the two bizarre creatures are light-colored, less than 1 meter tall, and have no limbs, but have at least six pairs of flexible, narrow tentacles.

At the tip of their bodies, they also have an "eye"-like light receptor. But the "eyes" appear small and have no eyelid structure to close.

They seem to be uncomfortable with bright light, with a tentacle obscuring the "eye" in front of it.

It is indeed a paradox that they have light receptors and are afraid of bright light.

The evolution of all life forms in the universe, especially the evolution of intelligent life forms, will inevitably follow the corresponding rules and be affected by the living environment.

They appear to be distinctly different from any other life form on Earth, but they are still within the realm of understanding the structure of life on Earth.

Being able to find life forms similar to life on Earth on another terrestrial planet must not be as simple as a coincidence!

More and more scientists have come up with new understandings about the origin of life: life is necessary for the universe, and on any terrestrial planet, life is almost destined to occur, but the form of life may be completely different from that of humans.

In the universe, there may be life forms with different mechanisms.

If, on a planet, some kind of life mechanism wins the competition, it ends up becoming the common ancestor of all life on that planet. So even though the life on the planet looks very different, their basic life mechanisms are exactly the same.

Life on Earth is very monotonous in a molecular sense. They all have the same basic structural units.

For example, all cellular organisms use the same four nucleotides to make up genetic material (DNA, i.e., deoxyribonucleic acid), all have proteins composed of 20 amino acids that play a key role in life activities, all have similar cell membrane composition (phospholipids), and all use carbohydrates (glucose, starch, etc.) and fats as energy sources and substances to store energy.

That is, from the simplest to the most complex creatures, all use the same "building materials", or the basic "parts". Just as a finite number of building blocks can create an infinite variety of structures, a limited variety of "living blocks" can be built into tens of millions of creatures on Earth.

"Eating" is the "dismantling" of the "parts" or "building blocks" of other creatures to build our own bodies.

So, one animal can eat plants (herbivores) and other animals (carnivores). Plants can also eat plants (e.g., dodder seeds) and even animals (e.g., Venus flytrap). Bacteria, fungi and molds "eat" dead animals and plants, but also live organisms. For example, athlete's foot and tinea corporisa are fungi that eat living people; Tuberculosis, infection with suppuration and sepsis are bacteria that eat living people. Even viruses are built with the "parts" inside our body's cells.

As early as 2.1 billion years ago, the advanced intelligent life in the Alpha Centauri galaxy selected a large number of "biological building blocks" according to their own life patterns and put them into the earth's environment, thus finally creating life on earth.

So, in essence, the mechanism of life on Earth today should be the same as that of the Alpha Centauri system, and we can be regarded as close or distant relatives of each other.

“#￥%！！ ~#......”

“**& amp; amp; amp; ##（：#￥%......”

These two bizarre creatures are constantly emitting sound waves of varying frequencies.

They don't have obvious feet, so they can only move slowly towards the edge of the oasis.

When they came to the periphery of the oasis and looked at the "gravel" on the ground, they immediately showed a state of excitement, dancing frantically with each tentacle.

I saw that a few of the tentacles were very deftly wrapped around a piece of "gravel", and then quickly retracted.

A crack opens in the lower end of the eye, the light receptor of the ta, and the tentacles deftly throw the "gravel" into it.

These "gravels" are the crystals of lifeless but never-dying plants that grow in clusters on the edge of the oasis.

......

Earth, the Pacific base of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance.

Durunik was hurrying to the dean's office.

Ding-dong, he rang the doorbell, and the secretary quickly opened the door and welcomed him in.

"Wait a minute!" A familiar voice came, still full of breath and powerful.

Durukik sat on the sofa in the reception room and waited.

"Any good news for me?" Dean Frank stepped out of it.

It can be seen that the passage of these years has also left deep marks on his face. However, those obsidian-sharp eyes became more and more radiant.

"The Pupil of the Earth has taken a clearer image, and Alpha Centauri BB1 is most likely a habitable planet." Durunnik got up and handed a document to Frank.

"Oh!" Frank's eyes lit up, and then he calmly took the information.

"Has Hao Chen's opinion reached Earth, what did he say?" Frank asked, flipping through it.

"He judged the same as we did." "Also, because of the limited scientific research facilities on the Future, and the fact that Chenchen will repeatedly go into long-term hibernation, he asked us to find a way to further confirm whether there is a signal of intelligent life on Alpha Centauri BB1." ”

"Can the technological level of the Earth Pupil capture the signal of the existence of intelligent life?" Frank asked rhetorically.

"Hopeful, but hard to ......"
