Chapter 13 Treasures of Scientific Research
Extraterrestrial life!
Alien!!
These elements, which often appear in science fiction works, have always been things that extraterrestrial exploration tirelessly wants to pursue.
It's just what can be observed from the present of humanity - this universe is so vast, yet so inhospitable. Since Galileo Galilei began to observe space, mankind began to look for traces of other civilizations in the starry sky, but found nothing.
There is no life in front of us, and no civilization in the future, as if there is only human beings in the entire universe, a lonely civilization.
Human scientists have put forward two once popular views on this observed phenomenon: the Great Filter Theory and the First Civilization Theory.
Both views had their own mainstream supporters, and by the beginning of the 21st century, it seems that the big filter theory was more widely accepted.
But in front of Lu Yu, these theories that the predecessors had pondered and meditated on seemed to be no longer important.
Because he witnessed alien life at this moment, it looked like an insect-like creature on the blue star, living in ignorance of his home planet, and unaware that a pair of hot eyes were greedily observing them in the silver ellipsoid that suddenly appeared more than ten meters away.
And on the blue planet, countless light years away, there is a group of scientists who are carried away by ecstasy, and they wish they could travel through the limitations of space and come here to observe in person, instead of being able to only use mobile phone video now.
Human civilization has spent countless funds to send probes to its neighbor Mars, one of the major goals of which is to detect whether it once gave birth to life, and the legend about Martians is widely spread in human society.
It seems that humans have an innate fanatical urge to discover extraterrestrial life!
If the previous supernova observation records only have unimaginable academic value, then the discovery of life planets this time will be a carnival of the entire human civilization!
Even if they are separated by tens of millions of light years, as long as it can be proved that human beings are not the only life in the universe, this alone is of great significance to the entire civilization.
Humanity is not alone, humanity has competitors in the universe!
Perhaps after realizing this, the whole civilization will have more cooperation and less strife.
After all, it is already known that outside the civilization circle, there may be competitors, and at this time, pulling each other's legs, the development of science and technology is a step slower, and in the future, the starry sky will be the bane of the demise of the entire civilization.
This kind of philosophical thinking about the future of mankind can't stop the excitement of major discoveries, Lu Yu heard the noise on the other end of the mobile phone for the first time in a long time, the last time was when the blue star was confirmed to be a type II supernova.
"Extraterrestrial life! Extraterrestrial life!! ”
"Blue Star is not alone in the universe, we are not alone!"
"Thousands of random space jumps to reach a living planet? Life in the universe may be more common than you think! ”
Professor Mao appeared in front of the camera with a red face, and the observation record of the supernova explosion has made the Chinese scientific community earn enough money and face in the world, and some foreign astronomy professors and scholars who have refused to cooperate many times now even take the initiative to stay and teach, just to get more astronomical data and data.
Now that the planet of life has been discovered, Professor Mao can't help but get excited when he imagines the future when this information is released.
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to figure out what is going on with this planet!
Since there is liquid water, plants and living things, has civilization already arisen on this planet of life? What is the stage of development of civilization?
The Silver Star happened to be in the middle of the hill on the grass, with a wide field of vision.
Observed from the cockpit, lush alien trees, a volcano emitting black smoke not far away, and from time to time three or four huge flying creatures streaked across the low altitude, this is completely undeveloped primeval forest, without the slightest trace of civilization.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no civilization on this planet, after all, if you jump into the depths of the Amazon jungle of Blue Star, you will also not be able to see that Blue Star has developed civilization.
Looking around, he didn't find any large creatures in the vicinity, but this in no way meant that Lu Yu could leave the cockpit and explore the surroundings.
Without the protection of a spacesuit, Lu Yu dared to expose himself to the ecosystem of another planet, not to mention gravity, air composition and atmospheric pressure, and he didn't have to wait for any predatory creatures to attack him, bacteria and viruses could kill him.
"Single star system, the number of satellites is unknown........."
"The plant is green and appears to have a chloroplast-like structure."
There is very little information that can be collected with the naked eye, and in the absence of professional equipment, Lu Yu can only use primitive methods.........
Wrap a mineral water bottle around the wire, add a little water to it, pass it through the space film little by little, and finally the mouth of the bottle is still in the cockpit, and the bottle body has been completely exposed to the outside world.
"Smack!"
The difference in air pressure between the inside and outside made the bottle deflated slightly.
This shows that the life pressure of this stone is higher than that of the Blue Star, and as for how much higher, there have already been synchronous simulation tests on the Blue Star.
"Looking at the degree of shrinkage of the bottle, the atmospheric pressure is about 1.2 times stronger than that of the blue star."
"Looking at the vaporization rate of the liquid inside the bottle, it is estimated that the outside air temperature is between 35 and 40 degrees."
I don't know how many researchers are watching the images from another planet with bated breath through the video on their mobile phones, and every piece of data is so precious!
After using the bottle manometry, the mineral water bottle did not dare to take it back into the cockpit, considering that in a short period of time, the bottle may have been contaminated by bacteria and viruses on this planet.
For the sake of his own life, Lu Yu could only abandon this bottle that had followed him for countless light years, and also give full play to its role to the extreme!
The four wheels that had seriously damaged the beauty of the Silver Star finally came into play again, and after Lu Yu moved his position by relying on them, he came to a small cliff with a height difference.
Carefully untie the wire, allowing the bottle to form a parabola and smash into the stone below. After a few bounces between the stones, the Blue Star's industrial product quickly disappeared below the cliff.
"BASED ON THE VELOCITY AT WHICH THE BOTTLE FALLS, THE GRAVITY IS BETWEEN 1.1 AND 1.2G."
"Based on the data analysis observed so far, this is a habitable planet!!"
"The plants, creatures and even inorganic substances here have extraordinary research value for human beings, and this is a scientific treasure with infinite possibilities!"
