The probe's solar-powered wings had already been deployed, and it was like a big bird, slowly drifting towards the center of the ruins in the abyss-like ruins of the canyon.

The camera continues to pull in, and the wreckage of the ruins gradually becomes clear.

Huge spaceships floated in the air, almost all of them intact, some broke from the center, some broke a large hole, but more of them were all kinds of collision trauma caused by impact.

At this time, Ye Ming's voice came from Director Zhang's ears: "Mr. Ye, are you controlling the detector?" ”

Ye Ming coughed lightly and smiled embarrassedly: "I was caught...... Yes, I do want to see the alien spacecraft up close. ”

Director Zhang laughed: "Haha, I'll just say, it's estimated that you are the only one who can move the probe and haven't slept yet—come, share your vision." ”

Ye Ming chatted with Director Zhang after sharing the vision of the probe, and then he learned that not only did he not sleep, but Director Zhang and his group, including the lunar base, and even the newly completed Space Observatory that had only been put into trial operation, did not sleep, and were staring at the vision of the probe.

Well, it's quite understandable and normal.

If at this time, if everyone can still sleep peacefully, it means that the human scientific community is hopeless.

So next, Ye Ming chatted with Director Zhang, Professor Li Lei and a large group of scientists who couldn't sleep, while sharing the vision of the probe, and went to the wreckage of a recent spacecraft.

……

"Is that a corpse?"

"Probably not."

"Corpses don't last long, and according to calculations, there's light, temperature, and anaerobic bacteria – and corpses are supposed to hydrolyze spontaneously in space."

"What if there's a spacesuit?"

"It might be a little longer, but it depends on the time."

As the number of onlookers increased, Ye Ming finally simply opened a small meeting group, chatting and observing at the same time. At this time, everyone stared at the appearance of a corpse in a spacesuit in the picture and discussed it babblingly.

"What does Mr. Ye think?"

"I don't know, but I think we should not use the experience on Earth yet." Ye Ming reminded him of the previous discussion with Mogu: "When it comes to the extraterrestrial biosphere, we can't be too cautious - even now we have no way of knowing whether the creatures here need oxygen or whether they are carbon-based organisms......"

Ye Ming's words fell, and a group of people immediately "yes, yes, yes".

Indeed, a brand new planet that has given birth to civilization, you definitely can't take the set of the earth directly.

But Ye Ming then said, "But I guess...... The biosphere of this planet and the earth should be inseparable. ”

"Why?"

"Because from a physical point of view, the current human beings, the current set of life systems on the earth, are the most stable. Well...... In other words, under the existing cosmic scale and physical rules, carbon-based organisms are the most suitable for the birth of advanced civilizations. Even if a highly developed civilization eventually digitizes and moves towards a silicon-based form...... In the past, they must have had a biological form as well. ”

"And what if it's an AI rebellion?"

"Then we'll have to wait until the day the AI rebels." Ye Ming chatted casually, while controlling the probe to slowly slow down and hover.

At this point, the probe stayed less than thirty meters from the wreckage of a spacecraft.

At this point, there is only some afterglow reflected from metal in the sky, as well as the searchlight system of the probe itself.

In the light, the spacecraft was about 100 meters long, and the head of the spacecraft was knocked open with a hole of about three meters, and two "corpses" in spacesuits hung on the edge of the hole.

Ye Ming froze, exhaled lightly, and began to release the engineering robot.

Immediately after that, the vision switches to the camera of the engineering robot.

Gradually, the "corpse" approached.

In order to avoid contamination, Ye Ming was as careful as possible not to approach it, but only used radiographic scanning and cameras to observe it.

Under the camera, I saw that the two bodies seemed to be "hanging" on the sharp and dilapidated edge of the spacecraft, and the spacesuits were hooked out of holes.

Ye Ming wasn't sure if there were bones inside, and he didn't dare to rashly let the engineering robot move the corpse, but after taking a photo, he began to control the engineering robot to drill into the spaceship from the hole.

And as they entered the spaceship, more "corpses" appeared.

Because of their weightlessness, they float horizontally and vertically in the air, and they can't really be seen.

There was silence in the channel for a long time.

After half a ring, Director Zhang's voice came slowly.

"Really...... Tragic. ”

Everyone sighed silently.

- If they weren't sure if it was a corpse or not, when they got closer, when they saw the obvious spacesuit, they were completely certain that they weren't just corpses, but also humanoid corpses.

At the very least, it's an upright walking creature.

Well...... It's actually quite logical.

Because walking upright frees up the upper limbs, which leads to the creation and use of tools.

And judging by their outfits, they seem to have sensed the danger and have adopted this way of wrapping themselves in spacesuits – thinking from a human perspective, of course.

But how to say it? A person with a fairly high degree of civilization has the ability to think logically, and there must be convergence.

Except for a few people such as Ye Ming and Director Zhang, almost all of the rest of them had been to the sky, and they naturally felt concerned when they saw the same "alien astronauts" end up like this.

"Well, it seems that they did encounter a war, but I don't know if they have the strength to fight back." Ye Ming was silent for a few seconds: "By the way, everyone, are you afraid?" ”

His question made everyone stunned.

Fear? Afraid of aliens?

But then, everyone came to their senses.

I'm afraid that the fear here does not refer to the scene in front of me...... It's what happens to the civilization right in front of us!

"Afraid of what? Afraid that the power to destroy this civilization will come to our earth? Director Zhang's voice was a little smiling and free.

"Hmm."

Director Zhang laughed: "Are you afraid it will be useful?" ”

Everyone laughed in unison.

Ye Ming also smiled.

Indeed, it is useless to be afraid.

After a few moments, he asked Aita to control the engineering robot to turn its vision and head towards the passage ahead.

"Let's find the master."

Time passed slowly, and the engineering robot sent back the internal structure of the ship, especially the words and diagrams, as it made its way towards the "main control room", and soon arrived at the appearance of a large hall.

Here, the crowd did not see too many control buttons and screens, which are controlled by human technology at this time, but instead saw many unknown electrode-like facilities.

In addition to being surprised, everyone didn't speculate much, but let the engineering robot pry open a control panel with brute force, take out a circuit board, and return to the detector with a charge.

Ye Ming's gaze stayed on the "circuit board".

When he looked at it, he felt that this thing was even rougher than his handiwork.

……

After sending the engineering robot back to the detector, Ye Ming turned off the channel.

Subsequently, he entered the super simulation space.

"Yinta." He shouted at the sky.

"It's coming!" In the next second, Yin Ta's huge two-dimensional image appeared in the super simulation space, and then it shrank extremely small, and finally stopped in front of his eyes.

"Recreate the circuit that the engineering robot brought back."

Modeled.

Yin Ta was concise, and soon, a huge broken electric board appeared in the void.

Ye Ming looked down at this control circuit - although he didn't know how this circuit worked, as an engineer who followed the physical rules of the universe, he was completely confident that this thing would not exceed his cognition and judgment.

The master of the circuit appears to be rubber and acrylic, but it does not have a multi-layered structure like a human integrated circuit, but is composed of a dense layer of wires similar to gold leaf.

When zoomed in, there appears to be a black residue on the gold leaf, and some of the circuits have tiny pipes.

Let's put it this way, it's really a very ordinary handmade circuit.

"Did you find a problem?"

"What's the problem?"

"It shouldn't be so rough." Ye Ming was condescending, his eyes burning, and he seemed to grasp something a little: "Although the spaceship needs stability and reliability, no matter how stable and reliable it is, it will not be rough like this." ”

"And, I always felt like it was missing something."

"The semiconductor industry is missing." Yin Ta humored.

Ye Ming was happy.

Truly......

It's a bit of a steampunk look!

But then, Ye Ming's eyes froze!

He looked quickly at the center of all the connections.

That...... Theoretically, it should be the position of the main control chip.

But above, there is nothing.

Or rather, there is no chip in sight on it.

……

Early the next morning, a group of people attending the meeting were in good spirits, and they did not have the fatigue of staying up until 3 o'clock in the morning.

At the meeting, the people talked about the discovery of the previous night, which made the representatives of the military quite confused.

"Academician Ye, what did you find yesterday?" General Lu finally didn't hold back and asked out loud.

"Hmm...... We released the engineering robot yesterday and went inside a spaceship. ”

Ye Ming smiled into the microphone while applying the ice cubes that Mogu gave him to his eyes.

The next meetings were long-term, so they didn't pay so much attention to the ceremony, but chose online video conferencing throughout the process.

"Oh, what's the discovery?"

"Well, the testing conditions inside the probe are limited, and Aita has only given a simple guess so far, which is ...... Presumably, the control center of this spaceship is highly integrated with living creatures. ”

With his voice, Mo Gu, who was doing the work opposite, was slightly stunned, and then immediately sat down next to him and looked at him with burning eyes: "What does it mean to be highly integrated with living beings?" ”

"That is, the control system may be connected to the biological nervous system...... Because their circuit boards are so rough that they can't even see the chips. ”

After a pause, Ye Ming continued: "To be precise, they may be taking the road of biochips. ”

As soon as these words came out, even people including last night were in an uproar.

"Biochips?"

"Is it a biochip as we understand it?"

"Does that mean they don't have a semiconductor industry?"

"Then they ...... computer"

"No, that means they don't have computers?"

"How can you support the design of such a huge building without computers?"

"Without semiconductors, how could their civilization develop to the stage of cosmic civilization?"

"Mr. Ye, what's going on?"

Listening to the chaotic voices in the channel, Ye Ming coughed lightly and knocked on the table again, and the office was a little quieter.

】

"At present, we really don't know anything about this civilization, and the capabilities of the probe are indeed limited, so don't jump to conclusions first, let alone expect anything."

"As for the fact that without semiconductors, can they push the height of civilization to such an extent...... My view is that if their biological route is smoother, then I don't think semiconductors are necessary. ”

As he spoke, Ye Ming closed his eyes and exhaled slowly.

The reason why he had to apply ice to his eyes was simply because...... He hadn't slept since last night.

He has been analyzing the retrieved board with Yin Ta, and the final result is that he really does not see the circuit rules of traditional semiconductors.

Of course, there are indeed some words and marks on the board, but after a circle of detection last night, the entire engineering robot and detector did not find many symbols, let alone decipher the text.

Well, this also shows that the civilization's writing system should have moved away from the "book" stage and existed entirely in the form of data - at least in space.

The absence of semiconductor circuit rules does not mean that they have mastered a more "advanced" and more powerful set of semiconductor rules, because semiconductors are the use of "electromagnetic force" and an extension of the basic understanding of the universe - even if they are more advanced, they must follow the most basic rules.

Then there is only one possibility, and the civilization is either too low-level to fail, or it has embarked on another way to liberate the productive forces, especially computing power.

Now it seems that there is a high probability that they will embark on the road of biochips and even biological "intelligence".

"Therefore, the most important thing for us at the moment is to constantly adjust our follow-up detection plan based on what we have discovered."

Ye Ming opened his eyes, his gaze burning: "Therefore, I suggest that we quickly build a full-function biological research laboratory, and then send it over as quickly as possible." ”

Mo Gu on the side immediately echoed: "Agreed!" ”

……

As it turns out, when secrecy is not mandatory, any information is quickly revealed.

In less than a day, the news that the alien civilization was very likely to be a civilization that had reached the biological realm with a technological tree point spread from the mouth of someone who didn't know it.

Then it caused a discussion on the whole network.

Mu Yong undoubtedly believes that any news from the fairy group Blue Star is the current explosion point of Internet discussion.

"Aliens ordered biotechnology? Does it mean that even if we engage in biology, even if we mix it up, civilization has no future? ”

"I have to say, this wave is beautiful and black, Lao Tie!"

"I'm curious, how far has alien biotechnology got? Can a genetically fortified organism or can it live a long life? ”

"Does the biotechnology of an extraterrestrial civilization strengthen the individual or the group? Or is it an intensification project? ”

"Wait, what did Academician Ye say now?!"
