Chapter 314 Alien Spaceship!
Time passed year after year...
The entire fleet had entered the empty space. Kunlun Mountain successfully used several major gravitational fluctuations to accelerate the fleet to a rated speed and entered a regular navigation.
The goal is...187j3x2!
Although Zhang Yuan is the chief captain of the Kunlun Mountain Fleet, he also has his own hibernation time. He hibernates about two years every five years, and he spends most of his time hibernating. But compared to ordinary people, his awakening frequency is much higher and his aging speed is faster, which is the price of being a captain.
The work every day is not too busy. No matter how big the Kunlun Mountain is, it is just a spacecraft. Without massive resources as support, it is impossible to do any major projects. Everyone's general work is to routinely maintain the spacecraft, conduct simple research, or design some new machinery.
The materials in the laboratory are still sufficient. Anyway, almost all resources can be classified and recycled, and only energy is consumed.
There are many talents in the spacecraft, and it doesn’t mean that Zhang Yuan has to arrange everything himself. If there is no special incident, Zhang Yuan will be happy to be free.
In this way, it has been safely lasting for 39 years...
On this day, Xu Yuanyuan, a graduate student in space botany, and several colleagues were cultivating a new generation of space mutant plants in the radiation area of the observatory.
Although cosmic travel is boring most of the time, there are some new things occasionally. For example, when people crossed the "Kuiper Belt", people observed several large comets, with the closest distance of about 800,000 kilometers.
Since no large planet has been formed near the Kuiper Belt, it is extremely weakly affected by stars and has not experienced various complex astronomical phenomena, most of its composition basically represents the original components of the early stages of the formation of planetary systems, which is very meaningful for humans to understand the origin of stars.
Scientists once wanted to capture these meteorites, but because the speed of the entire fleet was too fast, the entire capture operation failed...
This reliable action also caused chaos in the whole ship, and many researchers were deeply disappointed because of this failure.
Later, about 0.2 light-years away from the star, the entire fleet encountered another strange ion wind. Such ion winds had also been encountered on the outskirts of the solar system, and I don’t know why...
As a result, after a long time of investigation, there was still no scientific model that could convince everyone.
No major happening later. The matter in interstellar space is too sparse. Apart from cosmic radiation, it is a great luck to be able to encounter meteorites as big as a little finger when sailing in such places for millions of years.
"I will hibernate in five months, and I always feel like I have accomplished nothing in the past few years."
"You stay on the planet, don't you do the same job..." Several girls were wearing space suits and chatting casually. They collected soybean-sized seeds one by one in the Petri dish.
"Hey, can seeds undergo favorable mutations?"
"It's hard to say... It would be great if we could find all the codes of genetic material, and we don't need to hit the fortune like we are now."
"It's so stupid, I can't understand."
The substance of DNA is an extremely complex thing for humans. Each DNA contains a huge amount of information. This massive amount is a real massive amount, and the base pair order is just the initial one-dimensional information, as well as more complex two-dimensional information, and even three-dimensional information in space!
So far, humans have not yet completely deciphered the true mystery of genetic material.
Cultivating space mutant plants is a very boring and happy thing. Its principle is very simple. It uses radiation in space to cause plant seeds to undergo a certain degree of mutation.
Most mutations are harmful mutations, which cause the seeds to survive at all.
But there are also a small number of mutations that are beneficial and will produce a wonderful reaction. For example, purpura, an algae that is widely used to purify the air and is very delicious; antimecia, a banana variant, can produce a large amount of ethylene; purpura, a variant of cotton, but the yield is twice that of cotton...
Every time you cultivate a brand new seed, it is like touching a lottery, with an inexplicable sense of expectation. Even if most of you won’t win, the moment you win the prize is completely reaching the peak of your life!
It is precisely because of the emergence of various beneficial mutant plants that people's lives are also better.
These plants provide industrially produced chemical raw materials, some are food for humans and animals, and are also purifiers of the air environment. They are not ordinary important to humans.
After putting all the seeds, Xu Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly blurred and she felt something swept into her eyes.
The whole world turned into crystal red at this moment!
"ah!"
She screamed in a low voice.
This feeling was like a laser pointer swept into her eyes, making her eyes sore and painful, and tears couldn't help but burst out.
She covered her eyes and looked around suspiciously with the other eye.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I don't know either……"
This starry sky was so dark that it was so dark that it was so bright that it could not be observed except for the light of the spacesuit.
She didn't know if it was an illusion she had or something else, but the redness and swelling of her eyes were real, and she still felt a burned sting.
Xu Yuanyuan hurried back to the mothership and went to the hospital for examination. The doctor who helped her was shocked when she heard about the specific reason. Then she did not dare to delay and reported the discovery to relevant government departments...
"What, a girl is suspected to have been hit by a laser from the outside world?!"
Zhang Yuan was shocked when he heard about this and hurried to the hospital to visit the girl in person. Mobile::
The doctor in the hospital replied: "It's just that the eyeballs are slightly congested. It should be fine to rest for a while, so there is no need to change the bionic eyeballs."
"Okay, thank you. If the nearby frigate is operating incorrectly, the relevant compensation and apology will be approved immediately."
But the whole incident sounds too incredible!
At first, Zhang Yuan thought that the communication laser of the frigate accidentally hit the person. However, a few minutes later, all the frigates around him received information, without any errors or misoperation.
"Report to the captain, Hawk 1, the inspection was correct, and there were no mis-launched communication lasers."
"Report to the captain, the Hawk 2 checked correctly."
...
Finally, the military also sent an investigation report: "For the second confirmation, the inspection was correct, and there were no communication lasers that were fired incorrectly."
In order to prevent large-scale exposure of communication radio waves, the connection between the mothership and the frigate relies on directed lasers to contact each other. Under normal conditions, the frequency is about once every 1 minute.
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, and he soon realized some other possibilities...
"If it wasn't for the result of the frigate's misoperation, then... are there any other possible?"
A... alien civilization!
Nearby, there is likely an alien civilization that is using small-frequency lasers to detect externally!
Things quickly got worse.
He comforted him a few words, hurriedly returned to his captain's room, and issued an emergency notice. The reason why he could infer such information was that the Kunlun Mountain Fleet also often used low-frequency lasers to detect externally.
This starry sky is so dark. The nearest star is 2 light years away. There are very few photons in the space, and it is almost in a dark state where you can't see your fingers.
This kind of darkness makes it impossible for conventional observation equipment to observe the surrounding environment at all, so the best way to detect is to use microwaves or lasers!
Using a microwave radar with huge power, the effect is very good, and everything around it can be illuminated quickly. However, this high-power radar will directly expose its position, just like a huge light bulb in the dark universe, and it is impossible not to be known to anyone.
Therefore, using a search laser becomes a very good choice.
This type of search laser has low power and can be continuously emitted. After the laser contacts a relatively smooth object, a series of diffuse reflection echoes will be generated. By data analysis of these diffuse reflection echoes, the specific shape and position of the object can be obtained...
