Chapter 20 Foresight VII
Several ziplines hung from the helicopter, and a dozen special fighters, several of them equipped with special equipment, slid down the zipline with great agility. One of the officers was one of the first to land, and as soon as his feet stepped on the ground, he immediately instructed the special soldiers to drag away the adventurer's body, while the other two fighters sprayed steel cylinders sprayed a cold air stream into the blood flowing on the ground, instantly freezing all the blood. The engineers who followed used air drills to pierce the ground and packed crystallized rock fragments stained with the blood of adventurers into special boxes. As more fighters hit the ground and a cordon was set up around the crater, the engineers began to cut down trees to clear an open space, and a giant transport helicopter landed on the makeshift airfield.
After the special forces, a large number of fighters equipped with anti-nuclear, anti-biological and chemical equipment appeared, and many more scientists. They cautiously approached the broken metal cabin and began various inspections and realizations.
Forests were cut down in pieces, and giant transport helicopters flew and left, unloading hundreds of pieces of equipment. Soon, there were more than a hundred technologists working around the crashed giant metal cabin, and they were like a swarm of industrious ants, busy around the corpse of a giant beast. The same bizarre equipment was removed from the metal cabin, and a technician removed a small piece of metal from the outer wall, but the process was very difficult.
Time passed quickly, the metal pod was towed away by several transport helicopters, the crater was dug ten meters deep, and all the excavated rocks and soil were carefully loaded into special metal boxes and transported away.
At this time, the screen turns, and it becomes a base under construction. The structure of the base is large, each of which is built in the middle of a mountain or dozens of meters underground, and the four walls have been specially reinforced. This has directly multiplied the already dazzlingly high construction costs. However, it can be seen from the mountains of materials on the construction site that all the bases are absolutely not short of funds, and even enough to buy all the building materials in advance. From the Dark Dragoon, Sue systematically studied the politics, economics, and sociology of the old era, and knew how complicated and difficult it would be to carry out a project of this magnitude in the Federal Era. And in the pictures of each base, Su saw at least two very familiar structures, one was the northern base, and the other was the Ice Throne.
The scene then shifts to a base where the main structure has been built, with a large metal pod in a large hall surrounded by more than a dozen retractable platforms that researchers can walk to wherever they want at any time.
Dr. Rochester's voice rang out at this moment: "This is the ship that sent 'the only' to Earth. ……”
When the spaceship from the outer universe crashed, the Old Federation immediately made it a top secret of the state. The research of science and technology related to outer spacecraft has also become the top priority of all federal projects, hundreds of billions of budgets have flowed to these projects through various channels, and the most cutting-edge talents have been secretly transferred.
Preliminary analysis of the outer spacecraft showed that the spacecraft did not seem to have many advanced systems, and researchers did not find the coveted propulsion, life support, weapons, or even propulsion systems other than the materials that make up the spacecraft itself. High-efficiency lasers, pulsed weapons, small fusion energy supply devices, Gaussian weapons, space systems, cosmic jump systems, interstellar navigation, cryo-sustenance, and other things that only appear in fantasy novels still exist only in fantasy novels. Not to mention that you haven't found more advanced technology than these fantasy systems, not even the entry-level ones! The ship that flew from the outer universe was astonishingly rudimentary, with almost no molded systems to be found except for the outer shell and the inner bulkheads. In other words, it's a box at all. When it comes to technology, only the super alloy that builds the ship's hull can be regarded as a harvest beyond the times. In the entire spacecraft, more than 100 different materials have been preliminarily identified, and no matter which one is cracked, it is an important progress in materials science.
The ship's inner compartment is filled with a liquid biological matrix, similar to a culture fluid, but seemingly part of some kind of life. The vast majority of bio-based fluids have lost their activity, and only a very small number of them seem to still have a little bit of vitality. Maybe these biological matrices are the ones that really have value. As a result, Dr. Rochester, one of the few leading scholars in biogenetics in the Commonwealth at the time, was semi-forcibly recruited from his position as a university professor to join the project team, and from then on, the trajectory of his life, and indeed of the human era, was changed.
But at the time, no one realized it. Many years later, Rochester became a master of the occult himself, knowing that if it weren't for him, another person would have come to move history in the same direction.
Destiny cannot be changed, and that is because the forces that drive destiny are too strong.
As a natural science maniac and workaholic, the doctor knew from the first glance that it was the goal of his life.
The biological matrix has an extremely high energy storage capacity, with nearly 10,000 times the energy storage per unit volume of biological fat, and it has a strong environmental adaptability, from the temperature range near absolute zero to 1,000 degrees, it will not change its properties in the slightest. At the same time, it has near-immune protection against all kinds of radiation, even if it is directly exposed to nuclear fuel, it will not change in the slightest. The more he studied, the more he discovered the mystery and power of this biological matrix, and another conundrum posed by its powerful properties was that it was almost indecomposable. Moreover, it is completely unbelievable that such a strong biological matrix is not active at all, and even bacteria and viruses cannot survive in it. According to Rochester's understanding, it should even have the ability to develop into a living form on its own, how can it not have a trace of activity?
Years of hard work had left Rochester oblivious to time, and in the never-ending reality and failure, the workaholic was almost in despair. However, in the darkest moment, life suddenly appeared in a certain isolated biological matrix, and that was the 'one'.
The 'only' is a special macromolecule of the protein, which has physical properties that science has no explanation at all. Its athleticism, vitality and even adaptability to the environment surpass the maximum range of organic matter. There are genes inside it, but when the gene map is preliminarily measured and presented on the screen in front of Dr. Rochester, the doctor intuitively knows that the gene in front of him must have been encrypted by some means, and the dense and complex internal structure, even if the performance of the most advanced supercomputer is increased by hundreds of times, I am afraid it will take tens of thousands of years to crack.
In the subsequent work, the doctor knew that his initial estimate was too optimistic.
