Chapter 7: Life? Spaceship?
All the good mood of the advance team has completely disappeared.
No one has been in the mood to observe the beauty of the planet since the sight of the utterly exaggerated creature in the sky, everything is just a mechanical operation, and the collection of various microorganisms and specimens is just a task.
With this in mind, when the members of the advance team returned to the Hope, they were immediately called to the secret conference room after going through various sterilization and disinfection procedures, and when the fifteen people arrived there, they found that the scene was already full of hundreds of people.
“…… That's what we've seen so far. ”
Yao Yuan was standing on the stage explaining, and behind him, a 3D video system was simulating the entire model of the planet where Hope is currently located, followed by a model of the two moons surrounding the planet.
"The planet has two major moons, one of which we call Guardian, which is about one-sixth the size of the moon and belongs to the category of asteroids, and the other moon, which we call Guardian...... No, it would be more accurate to say that it is a twin star, which is only 0.17 times smaller than our planet, and from what we have observed, there are plants, seas, atmospheres, etc......"
"Of course, this phenomenon is probably difficult for everyone present to understand, especially the scientists present, the probability of the existence of a living planet in the universe should be very small, but in fact, we are seeing a miracle in the universe, two companion twin stars with similar mass, in the case of orbiting each other, their gravity did not use each other to collapse or merge together, on the contrary, there is life on both planets, which is indeed a miracle beyond our common sense in the universe."
"But!"
Yao Yuan's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he even said with a hideous expression: "We found this!" Debugger, debug the enlarged image of Wei Er. ”
A soldier next to him immediately scrambled on the console, and suddenly, the model of the planet where the Hope was staying and Wei II disappeared immediately, and then the situation on Wei Er's planet was several times higher, and a 3D stereo image planet with a diameter of about half a meter appeared on the metal plate.
This is a planet where the remnants of green can still be seen, but the sea has only a huge deep crater left, all the sea water has completely disappeared, and the whole earth shows huge gaps and dry traces, and there are huge fleshy pipes with a diameter of thousands of meters all over the earth, these pipes are deeply inserted into the earth, as if they are absorbing nutrients from this planet.
And on the largest continent on the planet...... No, it can't be called a continent anymore, it's a land covered by unknown fleshy matter, and all the fleshy pipes that cover the planet are connected to this giant fleshy continent...... "From the data that has been detected, this fleshy continent is about 2,400 meters above sea level, covering more than a quarter of the surface area of the entire planet, we don't know how to describe this ...... 'thing', is it a living thing?" Such a huge creature? Or some kind of alien civilization weapon? Mineral-harvesting organisms? Like alien plants? What the hell is this? ”
At this time, several scientists were discussing in a whisper, and one of them pressed the speech button, and he asked, "Captain, can you show the heat distribution map of this 'creature'?" ”
Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, debugger, please switch to the thermal energy distribution map mode." ”
With the data control of the debugger, suddenly on the 3D stereoscopic image, the fleshy continent appeared in different color patterns, most of the fleshy continent is red, orange, yellow, etc., and the rest of the planet is blue low temperature, but there are a few accidents, on the fleshy continent, there are four peak-like points, which show pure bright white, as if four small suns exist there.
“…… From the data, it can be seen that the temperature of these four points has reached more than 10,000 degrees, and the temperature at the highest position is between 100,000 degrees and 1 million degrees......" Yao Yuan silently looked at the 3D temperature image, and he read the data displayed above.
The scientists discussed it again, and more scientists began to discuss it as well, and the scientist said, "Captain, we suspect it's a spaceship!" ”
Yao Yuan was finally stunned at this moment, and he immediately asked, "Spaceship?" Does it refer to a spaceship built by an alien civilization? ”
The scientist nodded and said, "Yes, as we can see, this unknown object is collecting all kinds of materials from a planet, including the water of the entire ocean, through those pipes, and there is a temperature inside it that is already high enough to reach the hydrogen polymerization reaction, this is probably the hydrogen polymerization reactor inside it, no matter how you look at it, this should be an alien spaceship." ”
At this time, another scientist also pressed the speech button, and he immediately asked, "Dr. Bede, why can't this thing be a living thing?" No matter how you look at it, it should be a living thing, right? ”
The scientist known as Bede immediately asked rhetorically, "So what planet did this creature originate on?" Such a huge creature, enough to devour a planet's living organism, as far as we can see so far, this is a whole, there is no second one covering another continent, a single whole huge organism, what is its origin planet? From a biological point of view, it is impossible for such an organism to exist in terms of mass and volume alone! ”
Yao Yuan was a little puzzled when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "Everyone, please explain what you are talking about the origin planet, and why it is logically impossible for such an organism to exist?" ”
At this time, Ivan had already walked from the advance team to his position, and he pressed the button and said: "Captain, let me explain here, first of all, although there are many ways to define biology, especially when the concept of biology is expanded to the entire universe, carbon-based, silicon-based, and even nitrogen-based, etc., all kinds of organisms have surpassed the biological concept of human beings, but organisms always have one thing in common, that is, reproduction." ”
"Whether it is reproduction with a surname, reproduction without a surname, or division reproduction, or even a variety of reproduction methods in the universe, they all have one thing in common, that is, to copy their genes to the next generation, that is, to create the same group of lives, for example, bacteria reproduce the same bacteria, microorganisms reproduce the same kind of microorganisms, rabbits breed the same species of rabbits, it is impossible for bacteria to breed rabbits, rabbits give birth to bacteria such a ridiculous thing, and to evolve, It is also in countless thousands of years, little by little mutations, the bad ones are eliminated, and the good ones are preserved, it is impossible to be the previous generation A, but the bred ones become B, or even more distant Z, which should be common in the whole universe, otherwise, there can be no race to say, because the next generation of breeding is already another race. ”
When Ivan said this, he pointed to the fleshy continent on the 3D stereoscopic image and said: "If this thing is a living thing, then its previous generation should be so huge, and its previous generation should also be so huge, what kind of planet can carry such a huge life form to be born and evolve, and form a race?" Is it a planet ten million times larger than the one in front of you? Gravity alone on such a planet can kill any life, and such a planet will directly collapse into a white dwarf or even a neutron star, so logically speaking, such a huge life form cannot exist. ”
Another scientist asked, "Then why can't this life evolve on its own on this planet?" I'm not a biology major, but I do know that in some cases, the mutation rate of organisms can reach an abnormal state. ”
Ivan affirmed, "That's right, in the state of radiation, or in some special state, the rate of evolution of living things can reach an exaggerated level, so that's why Dr. Bede asked to see the temperature distribution of the object just now...... This doctor, do you think that evolution alone can make a living organism rely on ** and instinct to use the method of gentle hydrogen fusion? What is needed is not the evolution of living things, but the cooperation of a lot of related sciences, such as electromagnetism, metal technology, space science, and atomic energy, which is the technology of the fourth industrial revolution, and this 'creature' is using it! ”
The scientist thought for a long time, and then said: "Indeed, if you want to talk about it in this way, then this 'creature' should be a spaceship, a spaceship of an alien civilization, and the scientific branch of this alien civilization may have gone to genetics, and they did not enter the mechanical science, but used the technology of genetics to enter the universe ......."
Yao Yuan waited for them to finish speaking, and then said: "Okay, this thing may be a biological spaceship, and the civilization that made it is likely to have stepped into the fourth industrial revolution, or even the fifth industrial revolution, using biotechnology, these are all possible, my question is is it possible for it to come to the planet we are on now?" ”
Immediately, everyone present was talking, but no one said a word, in fact, the situation was already very obvious, whether this thing is a living thing, or an alien biological spaceship, since it can drain the water and various substances of a planet, then it is impossible for it to give up another planet that also has water, an atmosphere, and plants...... It is bound to come to this planet.
“…… Since you're not sure, let the facts speak. ”
Yao Yuan sighed, he aimed at the liaison and said, "Launch ten unmanned micro-intelligence detectors, the S-class kind, yes, the fastest one from the alien ruins...... I'm going to get a closer look at this organism in ten minutes! ”
