Frank's negotiations with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) did not seem to go so smoothly, and there were political factors involved in the intervention of the US government.

Nearly a month later, the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) still hasn't gotten the information it wants.

According to Frank, the U.S. government intends to use the information on the Mars landing to exchange science and technology with the IEA, and the specific conditions are still in the negotiation stage.

This level of negotiation is not something that Yuan Haochen needs to consider for the time being, so he will leave it to the senior management of the IEA organization to burn his brain, and he will have to wait for good news.

However, during this period of time, Yuan Haochen has made some gains in other aspects of research.

Yuan Haochen checked all the probes that have successfully landed on Mars in the past century. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was once a Mars rover that had successfully landed around one of the four target areas that it had previously locked.

"The successful landing is the Canglong-1 Mars probe launched by China in 2045." When Yuan Haochen saw this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy in his heart, "I wonder if I can get relevant scientific research materials through the China National Space Administration?" ”

Yuan Haochen was thinking about how to communicate with the China National Space Administration about this, when suddenly the communicator on his desk rang.

"Hello, this is the special project team of the Institute of Astrophysics, Yuan Haochen."

"The Chinese guys, come to Super Lab 1, Frankenstein has made a new discovery about the Chenchen meteorite!" It was Trunik who spoke.

"Frankenstein, Dr. Minchi? Okay, I'll be right over. ”

IEA Pacific Base, Institute of Astrophysics, Science Group, Super Laboratory 1.

"Hao Chenjun, it's nice to meet again."

"Suzuki-kun" Hara Haochen had just entered the No. 1 super laboratory, and he unexpectedly discovered Suzuki, a Japanese scientist who joined the IEA organization at the same time as him.

"Suzuki-kun, why did you have time to come to the Institute of Astrophysics today?"

"Chenjun Hao, I am now a member of the Institute of Biochemistry, and I am assisting Dr. Mingqi in his research during this time."

Hara didn't continue to say anything, just nodded towards Suzuki, revealing a clear expression.

"The Chinese guys, you're finally here, come and see Frankenstein, no, Dr. Minchi's research." Durunik said excitedly from the sidelines.

"A primitive superbug that resembles magnetotactic bacteria, and there are traces of their activity inside meteorites." For the first time, Hara heard Dr. Mingqi speak, his voice was muffled and slow, and it sounded strange.

"Mr. Mingqi used a high-voltage current of 100 million volts to shock the meteorite, and the molecular structure of the magnetite crystals in the meteorite underwent some subtle changes, from which Mr. Mingqi judged the approximate types of superbugs." Dr. Suzuki earnestly added, "We also found fossils of organisms that resemble bacteria or organic materials such as amino acids, purines, and pyrimidines, which are only a few hundred nanometers long. Maybe it's too small for previous scientists to ignore. “

"It's all right," Yuan Haochen secretly exclaimed in his heart, he didn't expect Dr. Mingqi's strange scientific research methods to work.

"Magnetotactic bacteria are a class of anaerobic superbugs capable of synthesizing magnet (Fe3O4) nanocrystals, allowing them to use magnetic fields to align themselves. Magnet crystal synthesis is a complex process that is poorly understood. Dr. Minchi's peculiar voice rang out again.

"Young man, you are the discoverer of the Meteorite?" Dr. Mingqi suddenly looked at Yuan Haochen, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and he looked up and down for a while.

"Yes, Dr. Minchi." Yuan Haochen was stared at by Dr. Mingqi like this, and some of the terrifying events described by Durunike immediately appeared in his mind, and he felt a chill in his back.

"Thank you so much, your discovery is of great significance to the study of the origin of life, and I will be involved in this research project from beginning to end."

Dr. Mingqi's words surprised Yuan Haochen, but after thinking about it carefully, he could understand Dr. Mingqi's thoughts.

Just like myself, I am always looking forward to unveiling the mystery of the vast universe.

Dr. Minchi is an expert in the life sciences, and the origin of life on Earth must be the mystery he is most looking forward to unraveling.

"Is the origin of life an eternal mystery? How did it come about? In the Spring and Autumn Period 2,500 years ago in China, Lao Tzu wrote in the Tao Te Ching that Tao gave birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. It means that life on Earth has evolved from less to more. They have a common ancestor, and this ancestor is the One, and this One was born of heaven and earth, which is described by the current scientific point of view, that is, formed by the inorganic world."

Dr. Minqi was able to skillfully quote Lao Tzu's views and speak eloquently. This made Yuan Haochen feel very surprised, and he also had a little affection for this Frankenstein.

The origin of life should be traced back to the origin of the elements and chemical molecules associated with life.

Therefore, the origin of life should start from the beginning of the formation of the universe through the so-called "Big Bang" to produce carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and other major elements that make up life.

In interstellar evolution, some biological single molecules, such as amino acids, purines, pyrimidines, etc., may be formed in interstellar dust or condensed nebulae, and then biological polymers such as polypeptides and polynucleotides are produced under certain conditions on the surface of planets.

And these biological polymers eventually formed the most primitive biological system on the earth, that is, life with a primitive cell structure.

However, as far as the origin of the earliest organic molecules on earth is concerned, there are currently two mainstream views in the scientific community: the theory of cosmic life and the theory of chemical origin.

That is, whether the primitive life or organic matter on the earth originated in the universe, or whether it was spontaneously produced by chemical reactions on the earth after a long period of time.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, human beings have used astrophysical means to detect nearly 100 kinds of organic molecules outside the earth, such as formaldehyde and amino acids.

Two of these celestial bodies may be related to life on Earth, and it is highly likely that it will bring life or organic molecules to Earth.

One is a comet and the other is a meteorite.

These two types of celestial bodies contain a large number of organic molecules, such as some comets called dirty snowballs, which contain not only solid water, but also organic compounds such as amino acids, iron, ethanol, purines, and pyrimidines, and life may be produced on comets and brought to Earth. Or when comets and meteorites hit the Earth, these organic molecules go through a series of synthesies to generate new life.

Of course, there are two fatal questions that scientists have to solve in response to this view.

One is that it takes thousands of years for celestial bodies to communicate with each other, and can life migrate in the universe for a long time? Will they survive? The second is that if you stay in a vacuum for a long time, exposed to this large amount of cosmic rays, will living life continue to germinate after tens of millions of years?

"Dr. Minchi, I wonder what you think about the origin of life on Earth?" After hearing the above introduction, Yuan Haochen asked Dr. Mingqi with great interest.

"In space, the energy that can be produced is much more powerful than on Earth. It is certainly easier and more likely to produce organic matter and primitive life, and of course perhaps other life forms that we do not know about that are different from Earth. As he spoke, Dr. Mingqi widened his eyes and looked at Yuan Haochen intently, and a powerful aura burst out from him.

"In this way, Dr. Minchi is more inclined to the idea that life on Earth originated in the universe." Even with Yuan Haochen's current strong psychological state, he can clearly feel the sense of oppression from Dr. Mingqi. He finally understood Durunik's complaints during this time.

"If you're looking for extraterrestrial life, be sure to call me!" Dr. Minchi looked around at the crowd and did not answer directly, but instead made his own request.
