Chapter I

-introduction

In the Arctic Desert Zone A of the red planet, a spacecraft has just landed in close orbit around Mars; So, in the dead and empty red sand desert, there is a living form that is trekking step by step towards the Arctic ice cover that the earthlings have said; Outwardly, he wears a tight-fitting double-layered pressurized spacesuit and a milky white fully enclosed helmet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so behind him there was a line of crooked human footprints on Mars for the first time; like a wine cup, it was filled with the sunshine of the Martian North Pole and the red sand dust blown by the Martian Arctic storm。。。。。。 -- As a result, the Martian Arctic Space Launch Center stands tall, and the tracking antennas and satellite communication network systems of its space base point straight into the depths of space。。。。。。 The small gray boat-shaped building surrounded by green trees is bathed in the blue sea glow. An umbrella-shaped plane tree shades the east window of the sea, and the light in the professor's room is still dim. At this time, Professor John was anxiously searching for something. He pulled open the drawer on the writing desk, looked at it, shook his head, and asked his daughter distraughtly, "Mary, you help me think about it, where is that silver needle?!" "Father, those things that don't matter, my brain refuses to store!" The daughter laughed playfully. Although she has graduated from the School of Space Engineering and has become an assistant to the chief engineer of the Institute of Special Materials, she is still like a child in front of her father. (Note: Mary is the heroine of the sci-fi film "Man Under the Atlantic", which was popular in the United States and Chinese mainland in the early eighties.) The professor was angry, and was about to have a seizure, when the bell rang. Mary turned on the satellite TV, and the face of the Martian Lingxiao, an engineer from the Institute of Special Materials, appeared on the screen. "Miss Mary, the trial starts at eight o'clock, and you come early. Chief Engineer Wang is not here, I am really a little flustered! Mary ran back to her room, packed her papers, and hurried out of the building. She saw from the window that her father was still in the room in a hurry, and felt funny and angry, "Why? Just for a silver needle! However, the professor's beads of sweat made Mary feel guilty again, and she hurriedly put her head into the window, and said softly, "Father, look again if there is any on my laptop, I remember where it seems to be there!" Three minutes later, Professor John returned to normal, apparently the microrobot had found the silver needle. The professor sat upright in front of the satellite TV reader, turned on the phone and asked, "Hey, is there a medical school library?" Oh, it's Ms. Zhang, hello, hello! For the sake of prudence, I had to re-check, yes, the bilingual electronic automatic translation document "Journal of Terrestrial and Marine Biomedical Engineering", page 97, okay, I'm ready to accept it. On the screen of the satellite TV reader, the magazine published "The Output and Input of Heart Currents in Advanced Life in the Universe", the full text of an experimental report, Professor John read and pondered almost word by word. At the test site of a special materials research institute in the A area of the Mars Arctic Space Launch, the huge machinery of Galaxy 2 was parked in the center of the test site station, and the reporters had already aimed their cameras at the target. Directing the experiment are Engineer Ling Xiao and Mary, a blonde from Lunar Space Castle. Today's test was supposed to be commanded by Chief Engineer Wang Xiaofeng. Wang Xiaofeng, who has made outstanding contributions to the design of the mechanical system of Galaxy 2, is not well-known inside and outside, because of overwork, he suffered a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital two days ago. At the same time, in the operating room of the Undersea Castle Experimental Medical School, Professor John was operating on Mike (note: Mike is the hero of the man from the bottom of the Atlantic, a marine intelligent creature), which is also an experiment. Professor John had to perform the operation with a UV knife and needle surgical instrument. Although ultraviolet surgery has become common in hospitals, the surgery designed by Professor John is not ordinary. His surgery did not require an incision of the skin to rule out the tumor. Mike wasn't convinced, but Professor John made sense and sat down on the operating chair. Professor John also told him: "My basis is that the different potential differences of bioelectric currents in the body, under the action of ultraviolet light, produce a specific photoelectric effect, which can exclude tumors under your skin。。。。。。 Mike smiled slightly: "I think we should do surgery at another time, and today the Galaxy 2 machinery is started for testing!" "I've already arranged this." Professor John twisted open the holographic LCD television set in front of the operating chair, and the screen immediately sent the scene from the Mars test site to the quiet operating room. Mike looked intently at every piece of equipment on the field, at everyone's countenance, and nodded in satisfaction. At this time, a spaceship slowly landed at the test site, stopped in front of the Galaxy 2 machine, and an old man stepped out of the porthole. "Is that him? Mr. Wang! Mike almost wanted to jump over and grab Mr. Wang, but he thought that the earth was quite far away from the Mars test site! Mr. Mike, I don't think you need to worry about Mr. Wang. "Professor John hasn't stopped what he's doing." No, that would ruin him, he must be put in the hospital! "Mike was clearly agitated and dissatisfied with the professor's indifference." I know his heart as well as you know your tumor. "Professor John is still the same old man who is slow and methodical. The test on Field A from Mars is going on smoothly, Ling Xiao and Mary cooperate very well, and Mr. Wang is skillfully commanding. The Galaxy 2 machine roared like a cosmic monster in mid-air. Mike couldn't hear what Mr. Wang was shouting, but he saw Mr. Wang waving his arms and sweating all over his face. Suddenly, Mr. Ling's body was crooked, and the people on the field ran towards him. "Oh, it's not good, Mr. Wang 。。。。。。" Mike jumped up in a hurry, and Professor John pressed his shoulder: "Don't worry, your operation is not finished yet." "Mr. Wang is sick, how worrying is this!" Mike's voice was sobbing. Professor John remained calm: "I think he'll be fine, definitely!" "No, I'll go right away!" "Mr. Mike, I beg you to give me another five minutes!" Mike had no choice but to sit back in his chair in obedience。。。。。。 A silvery-white spacecraft took off from the front lawn of the Experimental Medical School. -- In the middle of the 22nd century, space technology was so advanced that people could easily fly to the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and for many years these planets and the satellites that orbited them in close orbit were like the mystery of people, and now people have built permanent space stations on them, and of course, no life has been found on these planets, as predicted at the end of the 20th century。。。。。。。 In the middle of the 22nd century, the way of spaceflight is not as complicated as more than 100 years ago, and the steps are as follows: every astronaut takes a very small spacecraft, which no longer needs to be boosted by a rocket, it relies on its own engine to fly to an altitude of 30,000 meters, which is already the stratosphere of the atmosphere, at this level, a nuclear-powered inner space mother ship runs all year round, in a certain area, the spacecraft docks with the inner space mother ship, and then the inner space mother ship begins to accelerate, Orbiting the Earth in a circular motion, when it reaches the second cosmic velocity (11, 2 km|s), the inner space carrier detaches from the spacecraft, and the spacecraft flies to the boundless space on its own. This method eliminates the need for spacecraft to expend a lot of fuel to overcome the Earth's gravitational pull during each flight, and the inner space mothership, which orbits the Earth at high altitude for many years, does not have to waste time due to excessive speed changes, thus simplifying all the steps. At the same time, at a higher level of space, there are more advanced outer space motherships, which can provide a higher cosmic speed for a small spacecraft and help it achieve interstellar space flight outside the solar system. Their space trip at this time is as if it was an outing a few years ago, it is so convenient, as long as the formalities are legal or pay a certain fee, they can rent a spaceship. The spacecraft had been climbing vertically since takeoff, and both of them felt a heavy mass squeezing on their chests, making them feel very uncomfortable. When it reaches the stratosphere, the spacecraft turns over, and the belly is flying upward, and the pilot in the spacecraft naturally can't feel it, and when he looks out of the porthole, it's all clear and clear blue, no signs, no references, and of course it doesn't matter whether it's up or down. After flying for a short while, the inner space mothership came, and at this time, the inner space mothership had reduced its speed, only to see a mechanical arm stretched out from under its fuselage, hooking the spacecraft, tightly connecting them together, and then began to accelerate. When it reaches 11 or 2 kilometers per second, the spacecraft's engine suddenly ignites, and it quickly breaks away from the inner space mothership and flies into the vast space. It was pitch black outside the porthole, and the stars of all sizes shimmered and shimmered, one after the other, densely packed, much more than what could be seen on Earth. Looking down, it's a blue planet - Earth. Professor, look, how bright that star is! Said the driver. The one on top is even brighter, isn't it, Professor? Ling Xiao said. They stared out of the porthole with curious eyes, when a huge outer space mothership approached, and the spacecraft attached itself like a parasite, and the two flew together into the depths of space. Gradually, the spacecraft approached a bright red planet, and the star grew larger and larger, and the pilot could see the dense red clouds hanging over the surface of the star. This is Venus, the professor said to Ling Xiao, there is no life on Venus, Venus is like the legendary hell, gloomy, sultry, choking, and smells of sulfur. The spacecraft continues to fly forward, and the powerful engines of the mother ship provide it with a speed of 10,000 kilometers per second, at which it can reach Venus in half an hour and Mars in an hour. They got a close-up look at Venus, Mars, then crossed the asteroid belt and watched Jupiter from afar. "Where should we go first?" Professor John tentatively asked Mike for advice. "The emergency room of the testing ground, of course." The two were silent. The pilot was engrossed in maneuvering the spacecraft. "I've thought about it from beginning to end." Professor John seemed to be talking to himself. "Thinking about what?" Mike asked. "Since the middle of the 22nd century, we humans have moved to the submarine fort, the space fort or the Martian North Pole, and the living environment of human beings seems to have expanded qualitatively; At the same time, it is also inevitably harmed by cosmic R-rays。。。。。。 Can intelligent creatures cardiac muscles be far adapted to new planetary space or interstellar travel?! For example, the contraction and relaxation of your heart and my heart rely on the weak biological current transmitted from the sinus atrium to conduct excitement. The abrupt stopping of the heart during an interstellar journey is due to a lack of current or a lack of electrical circuitry, and if we use a battery, it is possible that the heart that has stopped beating will work again. Mike snorted, how inappropriate it was to talk about these scientific hypotheses at this moment! The spacecraft landed at the door of the emergency room, and Mr. Wang was not here. The spacecraft flew to the Space Fort Cardiac Surgery Hospital again, and Mr. Wang was not there. Mike looked at Professor John with a puzzled look, and the professor was still so calm and confident: "I thought he should be in his own home in the global village at this moment. "The spacecraft landed in a lakeside residential area and stopped on the front lawn of a small courtyard with pomegranate blossoms. There was a burst of laughter in the courtyard. Mike rushed into the courtyard and saw Mr. Wang sitting on a rattan chair under the pomegranate tree, discussing the design of the Galaxy 2 machinery with reporters, and he couldn't see any sickness. Mike hurriedly took the hand of his old comrade-in-arms: "It's so dangerous, how are you--fine?" Mr. Wang said indifferently: "Nothing, at first I felt my chest stuffy and panicked, but after a minute, my heart beat again, beating more vigorously than before, that's it!" Before the words fell, a group of young people rushed in from outside the door, led by Ling Xiao and Mary, who shouted as they ran: "Success, success!" "Exactly what was designed!" Then the photographers followed the yard and competed to take pictures of Wang Xiaotian. Mary took out the on-site record of the test, walked in front of Mr. Wang, and was suddenly stunned, her eyes stopped on the third brooch of Mr. Wang's jacket for ten seconds. She exclaimed in surprise and delight: "Father's brooch has been found!" Only then did people discover that the third brooch on Mr. Wang's workwear was a little special, silver-white and shiny, slightly thicker than other tie metal pins. Mr. Wang smiled without saying a word, his eyes scanned the crowd: "Professor John, it's time to reveal your secret." Professor John walked slowly to Mr. Wang, reached out and took off the mysterious brooch, gently pried it open, and took out a special magnifying glass from his pocket, facing the silver needle, as if a watch repairer was inspecting the tiny parts. Oh, it works great. I see that if you wear it, your heart will beat for twenty years. The people present were confused by this strange silver needle and inexplicable dialogue, and Mr. Wang said happily: "This morning, Professor John knew that I was going to the Mars Area A test site, and specially sent this silver needle, and it happened that I lost a metal pin in my suit and tie, so the professor pinned this silver needle to me, and I didn't have time to ask what was going on, so he left." I didn't expect this silver needle to have the art of resurrecting the dead! Mike seemed to wake up from the fog and grabbed Professor John's hand and shook it: "Could it be that this is the solar 'battery' you said on the spacecraft!" "Yes, this is a solar thermoelectric battery designed by me, which uses sunlight or human body temperature as energy to generate electricity, and the current generated is enough for the heart to work." "Oh, you're such a miracle doctor!" Mike gazed respectfully into the professor's face. Professor John patted Ling Xiao on the back: "Your hidden danger should also be eliminated." Ling Xiao felt that the tumor on his body had left without saying goodbye at some point. Mary looked at the old professor's deep gaze and repeatedly recalled the professor's mantra: "There is no such thing as irrelevance in science." "Yes, how many secrets of nature are waiting for us to uncover, and how many peaks are scientifically there for us to climb!
