Chapter 39: Dangerous Intuition
And just like that, the second military investigation, with great fanfare, began. This time, however, people's attention and vigilance have risen several notches......
Soon, three days passed......
For ordinary people, they only know that there is a sudden battle ahead, and it seems that a low-level civilization has attacked mankind!
"War" is always the most eye-catching news, which has aroused the close attention of ordinary civilians.
The bright glitter of a gigatonic nuclear bomb can still be easily seen in space, so it is impossible for the government to forcibly cover up the facts......
Fighting a war is a matter of everyone's life, and people can't afford not to care about it. If there is a large-scale war of civilizations, then it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong...... The entire civilization must go all out and be ready for war!
Therefore, many people called the government office worriedly and asked if there would be a real war, whether they should flee, whether they would be conscripted...... Some even went to government office buildings to inquire in person.
In the face of a worried public, the new government has lightly downplayed the past of the conflict, saying that "the low-level civilization does not recognize the form, and takes the initiative to attack, and the two sides are in 'friendly negotiations'." ”
Well, friendly representations indeed...... One side is friendly, the other side has not yet found ......
"Rest assured...... We are on the side of justice, and no soldier died during this period, which is a great victory! ”
"Don't worry, rest assured, a low-level civilization is just a little stronger than the indigenous lizard...... Nothing to worry about! We have nothing to lose...... Yes, yes, there were no casualties! A chubby government worker was explaining to the crowd that his amiable face and naturally smiling face were best suited for such a job......
Hearing these words, the crowd of onlookers relaxed and slowly dispersed.
For ordinary people, since they stand on the moral high ground and there are no dead people, everything in their lives has not changed much, and it can be regarded as just a skirmish......
But in the eyes of those who care, such a bright light can already calculate the specific nuclear bomb yield, but they didn't say much...... After all, the prestige of the government is still very high, and for more than a hundred years, Yu Yifeng's authority and leadership have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
What's the point of digging up the truth further, maybe after a while, the truth will be published in the newspapers......
Therefore, this group of ordinary people, who should talk about it, should look forward to it, they are still very yearning for this green planet. If the enemy is completely defeated, or if the "friendly communication" is successful, it will be even better if you can take a tour of the planet!
The ignorant are fearless, and the common people are so carefree.
But for a small number of people in the know, this period can be miserable......
Faced with a strange creature they had never seen before, they were curious and apprehensive, and they went crazy to find it.
In particular, a group of scientists, like chicken blood, worked frantically for three days, and they didn't even bother to eat...... All kinds of instruments and equipment were activated in an attempt to discover traces of the existence of "Gaia Creature".
Even Yu Yifeng was desperate and flew to the "Titan Z" on a spaceship to conduct the first-line command. Because much of the work has gone beyond established safety regulations, it has to be done with his special approval.
Just three days ago, after getting Yu Yifeng's approval, a sealed seawater specimen of "Level 5 biosafety" was urgently transported to a "Leviathan" spaceship.
There are many suspicious algae in the seawater specimens!
When many biologists heard the news, they rushed to the spacecraft to conduct relevant experiments. They tried to find clues of "Gaia creatures" in seawater specimens.
On the other hand, people are putting more land robots to step up their searches, trying to get more information on the indigenous ruins......
Some of the robots have also searched for some traces of indigenous survivors, and there may be living natives on this planet, but they are all in hiding......
……
"What? Can't find it? ”
Yu Yifeng snapped and slammed the report in his hand on the table.
The report has several pictures and a lot of tabular data, one of which is an enlarged image of seawater.
If you look at the water with a thousand-fold microscope, you can clearly see a variety of plankton, including many algae of different colors...... That is, the Gaia creatures that people imagine!
But the scientists studied it seriously for three days, but found nothing...... People don't even know if this "Gaia creature" exists or not......
For this result, Yu Yifeng was not satisfied.
"Captain...... No, not at all! When these algae break away from the ocean, they become individual microorganisms, and they lose all connected...... There is no intersection with each other, and there is no wisdom to speak of! ”
The scientist said in distress: "...... It's just a microbe! ”
"However, their genetic material is very unique, and the cell structure is extremely complex, and there are many things that we still don't know......"
Yu Yifeng waved his hand, frowned and said, "In other words, take a small part of Gaia's creatures at random, this small part is just an ordinary microorganism and will not produce self-awareness, right?" ”
The scientist immediately nodded: "Yes!" Maybe it has the ability to produce clones, but this clone won't be easily captured by us......"
"Moreover, experiments in space are too inconvenient, without gravity, the sea water becomes a spherical mass, and the research progress is very slow...... After leaving the original marine environment, the microorganisms inside have begun to die one after another. This specimen may not be kept for long. ”
Yu Yifeng sighed and gathered the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Science is such a thing, it must be down-to-earth, step by step, it is impossible for him to make any changes because of his will, and it is useless for him to be in a hurry.
Three days is still too short, and it is normal to not be able to analyze something.
Moreover, due to some safety issues, it was impossible to bring this kind of experiment back to the Noah......
"Forget it, you can continue to research, report to me immediately if you find anything, and if you need support, just say it...... Pay attention to safety issues! ”
He commanded for a while before the scientist nodded and turned to take his leave.
Yu Yifeng was sitting alone in the office thinking, and at this moment, his heart was beating inexplicably.
This uncomfortable sixth sense has reappeared!
It's like falling into an ice hole, quiet, cold, and a sense of danger that slowly suffocates to death!
To be honest, this dangerous intuition has not appeared for a long, long time, and has not appeared in more than a hundred years on the Knicks......
This time, it actually appeared at this moment, and it was so obvious, Yu Yifeng felt a little inexplicable.
He tapped his fingers on the table, what extinction disaster could an indigenous civilization that was almost extinct, coupled with a nascent Gaian life, bring to humanity?
According to Black's description, even the smartest Gaia life needs to climb technology step by step to reach the level of interstellar civilization, and the time is measured in "years"!
It's impossible to get to the top in one step!
Therefore, it is impossible for the newborn Gaia life to reach L3 tomorrow and kill the real L2 level humans in seconds.
So, what exactly is the danger?
