Chapter 102: Virus Mutations
With their current technology, it is really out of reach to achieve such a speed!
Their first experiment failed.
Ye Yunxi made a call to Mu Jinyan: "Before you come back, remember to clean up all the traces of the scene, and try not to let people find out." ”
The later they have researched, the better it will be known, and sooner or later it will be impossible to conceal it, but if it is discovered after the research is successful, it will not matter.
Because they have already succeeded, why should they be afraid of being discovered?
Mu Jinyan said: "Okay, I received it." ”
In this way, Mu Jinyan cleaned up all traces of the launch before returning to the base.
After coming back, Mu Jinyan shook his head again and again: "You must double the speed on this basis, and ensure that the rocket will not explode during the voyage, so that it is possible to achieve the success of the next experiment." ”
Dr. Gu said: "Then we need to study day and night, and at this rate, it will be impossible to achieve the speed of light project in 30 years." ”
Li Lingyun said: "What about within 50 years? ”
Dr. Gu frowned and said, "Within 50 years, it may be possible." ”
At this time, Ye Yunxi spoke: "No, within 30 years." ”
"Isn't there more?"
Heard Ye Yunxi say this.
Dr. Gu frowned deeply: "Miss Ye, I know that your mood is urgent, but this matter is unlikely. ”
"The main reason is that the existing technology of our human beings is really limited, plus the baptism of the end times, there are many things that can be used for research and development, and we can't find them."
"If this is before the end of the world, maybe it is still possible."
In recent years, the development of soft science and technology has been very good, but the progress of hard science and technology has been very slow.
This also directly leads to the fact that after the end of the world, human beings have no ability to resist at all.
Just imagine, if before the end of the world, humanity already had the ability to travel interstellar.
And why fear the coming of the last days?
Even if the virus spreads, humans around the world can leave in a spaceship to find the next suitable home.
Ye Yunxi said: "If there is something missing, you can tell me, but the research of the light-speed spaceship is urgent, and we must be 12 points of spirit." ”
"I'll try to prolong your life."
Many scientists were stunned, what does it mean to prolong life?
These scientists are not so-called anomalous beings, so their current lifespan is the same as that of ordinary people, with only a few short decades.
And if you want to prolong their lives, you have to start with their genes.
Ye Yunxi said: "I don't know as much about this field of knowledge as you, and I don't know as much as you, so I will try my best to research some immortal pills." ”
"To help you survive as long as you can, and you just need to study the ship as best you can."
After speaking, Ye Yunxi took Mu Jinyan to another laboratory.
Mu Jinyan said: "Do you really want to do this? ”
Ye Yunxi said: "Otherwise? I can't keep up with the scientists, who have spent decades precipitating knowledge. ”
"Even if I have a super memory and super ability now, I still can't catch up with them in a short time."
"And even if I can surpass them in the future, I will need some tool people to do some things for me, after all, there is a saying that it is difficult for one person to complete the work of two people."
Since his ability broke through the ninth level, Ye Yunxi has a super memory and learning ability.
Basically, I have the ability to remember it.
But she didn't want to tire herself too out.
That's why I brought it up and let these scientists station.
Mu Jinyan said: "Okay, your decision is also correct, I will accompany you." ”
In this way, the two began to study the elixir again.
Eventually, after months of repeated experiments.
The second rocket was born.
This time, Ye Yunxi once again chose a relatively remote place.
It's just that this time she chose to fly the rocket with Mu Jinyan!
Mu Jinyan said in surprise: "Why are you willing to go with me this time?" ”
Ye Yunxi glanced at him and said, "What's wrong?" If you want to go alone, then I won't stop you, you can go alone. ”
"Don't, don't." Mu Jinyan said: "I was wrong, I was wrong, you go with me, I'm scared alone." ”
Ye Yunxi couldn't help but glance at Mu Jinyan: "Are you also afraid?" ”
Mu Jinyan said: "I'm afraid without you. ”
This kind of deceptive words when you hear it succeed in making Ye Yunxi laugh.
And just like that, they loaded the second rocket and came to the designated place.
It's really desolate, where the birds don't poop, and even the slightest movement of the leaves can be heard.
Mu Jinyan and others began to work on this.
After a while, the preparations were arranged: "Miss Ye, the preparations have been arranged, when will we launch?" ”
Ye Yunxi looked at the slightly rising sunlight, obviously the sunlight was so warm, but all the creatures on this earth, including humans, were extremely tormented.
She glanced at Mu Jinyan and said, "Let's launch it now." ”
Mu Jinyan said: "Okay. ”
After they retreated to safety.
The countdown is ringing!
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Launch!"
The rocket swooped into the air, and this time the speed reached 990 kilometers per second!
And successfully flew into space, and did not disintegrate!
Li Lingyun called excitedly and said: "This time it was successfully launched, and the performance of the rocket is relatively stable. ”
Ye Yunxi said: "Well, let it land on the nearest Mars." ”
Li Lingyun said: "Okay." ”
This time it can be said that it was a breakthrough victory.
The speed of more than 900 kilometers per second is already the fastest speed of mankind so far, and at this speed, it will only take about half a day to reach Mars.
And there is also a probe on the rocket, and after arriving on Mars, the probe will be able to come down.
Exploration of Mars.
Then Ye Yunxi and Mu Jinyan went back.
After returning, Dr. Gu said, "Maybe we can use Mars as a colony." ”
"It's just that the earth is not suitable for life now, but it doesn't mean that Mars can't, we can transform Mars."
"Let Mars have an atmosphere, oceans, and trees, which meet all the conditions for human existence."
"The first step of our interstellar migration can start with Mars."
Ye Yunxi said: "But to transform the Martian light, it is not enough for us people. ”
"We need a lot of supplies, and we need a lot of ships and smart things."
"With our ability, it will take ten years at the earliest, so why waste ten precious years on transforming Mars?"
"What's more, the reason why our blue heart is polluted is because of the contamination from the mysterious virus of the universe, who can ensure that there is no such pollution on Mars?"
Mu Jinyan on the side also said: "Yes, what if there is such a deadly virus on Mars?" When the time comes, there will be such deadly viruses on the planet. ”
"Wouldn't it be difficult for us to do that?"
"I also don't support the plan to colonize Mars, because Mars is very close to us, but this time the probe can allow it to extract Martian soil on it." ”
"We can bring the soil back and study it, and if the research shows that there are a lot of deadly viruses on the soil, then Mars is definitely not the first choice."
Li Lingyun said: "This proposal is okay, then let's wait for the detection of the detector." ”
Everyone nodded.
About a day later, the rover returned data, and the current Mars is not much different from the Mars of the past.
Subsequently, Hua rigorously instructed the rover to retrieve the soil on Mars, as well as some other rock fragments and other things.
Hua carefully controlled the system and ordered the probe to return home.
However, the speed of this probe is much slower than that of a rocket, and it will take about half a month to return to Earth and return to the base smoothly.
But they can wait slowly.
Now, they're once again devoting their energy to research.
About half a month later.
The probe is back.
Everyone, including Ye Yunxi, wore top-level protective clothing before they dared to touch those soils.
Because no one can guarantee that there are no deadly germs on those soils.
Or a zombie virus that is even more terrifying than the planet.
Once you get infected by rash contact, it's not a trivial matter.
In this way, everyone carefully put this wave of soil in the laboratory and began to study!
Including the entire laboratory has entered a sterile state.
Subsequently, everyone studied the soil, and sure enough, as Ye Yunxi expected, there were many deadly viruses hidden in it!
That includes the zombie virus!
Ye Yunxi said: "It seems that my guess is right, almost all the planets in the solar system should be infected with these viruses. ”
"It's just that there is no life on these planets, so even if they are infected with the virus, there is nothing special about these planets."
"But we are different, there are many kinds of creatures living on our earth, and these viruses will definitely cause huge mutations to ordinary creatures on this planet!"
Hua Yan said: "As you think, in general, in this case, Mars is not suitable as a colony at all. ”
"We still have to develop a light-speed spacecraft for interstellar travel as soon as possible, and there is a relatively safe planet."
Mu Jinyan said: "Then what about these soils? Destroy it? ”
Hua Yan said: "Destroy it, remember to clean the laboratory thoroughly, don't let these viruses have a chance to go outside!" ”
"Yes!"
After that, they continued to devote themselves to the experiment, and did not take this episode to heart.
But I didn't expect that in just ten days, the virus outside mutated!
Even more terrifying creatures have appeared!
And the original zombies have also become several times larger!
"What's going on?"
Mu Jinyan said in surprise!
Ye Yunxi took the monitor and began to monitor the surroundings.
It was found that only their generation is more obvious, and it is not so obvious elsewhere!
The more I looked, the deeper the frown became.
Ye Yunxi vaguely felt that this matter was related to the soil they brought from Mars, she put down the relevant instruments and looked at everyone seriously:
"I told you to destroy all the soil that day, have you destroyed it all? Are there any remnants to take outside? ”
"Nope!" Everyone replied in unison!
Hua Yan said: "There are many viruses detected in this soil, how dare we expose it to the air, all of them are destroyed." ”
Ye Yunxi said: "Then why did this happen in just a few days?" What else has so much power other than the power of the earth? Can the creatures in the earth complete such mutations? ”
There seems to be no other explanation!
At this time, Ye Yunxi suddenly caught a person with dodging eyes, she didn't delay, she immediately went up and pulled that person up, and kicked hard:
"Did you think you did it? Did the soil over there not be cleared and taken outside? Tell me the truth, or I'll make you worse than dead! ”
At the beginning, it was so harsh that the person was originally weak-hearted, but now his eyes became more evasive.
Ye Yunxi saw such a look and strengthened his judgment, and kicked that person again:
"To say or not to say? My patience is limited, don't challenge my patience or I'll make you regret it! ”
The man was finally willing to confide in the truth: "I, I just thought that pile of dirt was curious, so I quietly left a little bit the size of a fingernail." ”
"When I went out, I wanted to take it home to study, but I didn't expect a sandstorm to blow outside, and when I avoided the sandstorm and wanted to touch the little bit of paper wrapped in dirt in my pocket."
"But I found that the soil was gone, and I thought that nothing should happen to me the size of a fingernail, so I didn't say anything about it."
"I really didn't expect such a mess, forgive me, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore."
Ye Yunxi was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood, so he punched this person directly in the face:
"You idiot, you, Li Lingyun, when did such a fool appear in our base?"
Li Lingyun also had a headache on his face, and looked at that person coldly: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused now?" Originally, the earth could last for a few hundred more years, but if you messed with it, whether it could last for a few decades is another matter? ”
After hearing this, the man cried and kept kowtowing: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, you can kill me, but please spare the lives of my wife and children." ”
Seeing the man's weeping appearance, everyone also realized that now was not the time to hold accountable.
Now is the time for how to clean up the mess.
Ye Yunxi suddenly realized a situation, and she looked at that person with a somewhat wrong expression:
"Wait, did you wrap up the dirt and take it out wearing a protective suit?"
