Chapter 36, Extraterrestrial Life
Underwater robots have been constantly wandering in the undericial world, testing different areas while searching for possible alien life.
"Based on the analysis and comparison of data from different waters, we can find that Ceres is really a death star. Even the water inside it does not flow at all. There are big differences in the salinity, PH index and other data of water in different regions. This is a good idea that the water flow here is very slow!"
Ying Bainian carefully observed the Ceres ocean data that had been formed on the computer, and then came up with his own point of view.
"And so far no signs of life have been found. It is still necessary to analyze the sea water to find out whether there is life here!"
"Get some sea water up! It's best to be at the bottom, because where the temperature is higher, the minerals required by primitive organisms are also more!"
Ceres is hard, with cold and lonely on the thick ice layer. The originally smooth ice surface is covered by interstellar dust matter for billions of years. Otherwise, Ceres' brightness should be very high, and it should have been very easy to observe a long time ago.
Where the hole was burned by the laser, a large crane drove over, first finding a suitable fulcrum around the entrance of the hole, and then setting up a bracket.
"I brought 10,000 meters of wire rope this time, but I don't believe it will not be able to reach the bottom!"
A heavy iron ball was tied to the head, and the long rope continued to extend downwards, and soon sank heavily into the water. Then it continued to go downwards. After reaching the bottom, a water-absorbing device continued to absorb the sea water at the bottom. After pumping enough water, it began to pull upwards.
In this way, we kept drawing samples of water from the bottom layer slowly to the upper layer, and took one sample every 100 meters!
In this environment of naked stars and death stars, the sea water collected just now freezes during the rise. It is too cold here, more than minus 100 degrees Celsius, and you can instantly freeze into ice if you sprinkle a cup of hot water.
The collected water was immediately transported to the laboratory above the "Zheng He" by the space shuttle. Ying Bainian, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly struck the iron while it was hot and used a microscope to observe. At the same time, other scientists also analyzed various components in the water.
Ying Bainian stared at the huge display screen, which was connected to a high-power microscope. Everything was magnified tens of thousands of times, and no cellular organism could escape its observation.
"How could it not be? It's impossible. There is water and the temperature is not low. It's logical that it can be perfect for the survival of simple cellular organisms. How could it not be!" Ying Bainian frowned. The picture was filled with minerals, and there was no sign of biological signs at all.
"Is the sampling area too small? Will there be other areas? Or there is no life here at all?"
Ying Bainian didn't believe in evil and observed one sample after another, but he still found no signs of life!
Just as Ying Bainian was constantly analyzing and observing the samples, he controlled the underwater machine on the other hand, and kept wandering in the underground seawater with the underwater machine, looking for valuable things.
“It’s exactly the same everywhere, nothing to pay attention to!”
"These icicles are so beautiful, it feels like they have entered a forest, with huge tornadoes connecting the sky and the earth, and the scene is really spectacular!"
"I have been wandering for hundreds of kilometers, but I still haven't found anything valuable!"
Bai Fengling controlled the robot and murmured to himself that he would feel bored after watching the sea for a long time, especially this kind of seabed without any life. Many people also have deep-sea phobia, dark phobia, etc., not everyone can observe this way.
Just as Bai Fengling was driving the underwater robot bored, the picture suddenly bumped a few times!
"Why did it suddenly bump?" Bai Fengling became interested and said loudly. After hearing this, the other colleagues hurriedly surrounded him.
"What new discoveries are there?" Jiang Zhipeng, who was attracted by it, hurriedly asked.
"The scene suddenly bumped a little bit just now. I felt it was unusual, so I quickly called everyone over!" Bai Fengling said while firing a flash bomb around.
"Suddenly bumpy? Did you encounter something? Play back the screen!" Jiang Zhipeng thought for a while.
"No, there are no icicles in the area I just passed, so it's impossible to touch anything!"
Everyone looked at the replayed screen carefully. Through the slow screen, they could clearly see that the screen suddenly shifted upward.
"From the picture, there should be a force that caused the machine to bump, which caused the picture to bump!" A scientist immediately analyzed that the bump in the picture just now should be caused by force under the machine.
"There is definitely a problem here. Please look carefully! Use a laser to open another hole at this location and take some samples!" Jiang Zhipeng did not believe in the evil, and while giving orders, he searched carefully.
More than an hour later, the samples here were also sent to the laboratory, and the scientists immediately analyzed the samples here.
"There are definitely extraterrestrial life here! Please see, the closer the deeper the amino acids, the more they are. This means that amino acids come from the inside, not the outside. There is only one source of amino acids inside the planet, that is, microorganisms!"
"The microorganisms have extremely tenacious survival ability and the most powerful survivability can survive for several days at minus 200 degrees Celsius, and can survive for a long time in high temperatures of more than 100 degrees Celsius, and can survive well in radiation environments of more than 5,000 Gray intensity. You must know that radiation at 10-20 Gray intensity can easily kill humans and most animals on the earth!"
Ying Bainian was excitedly analyzing the samples. At the same time, because of excitement, the voice was a little inaccurate when speaking, and the whole person seemed abnormally excited. He originally analyzed it slowly according to the sampling depth. He directly magnified the lowest sample under the microscope!
"Oh my God! There are really creatures, and there are so many. These microorganisms actually have cell structures, but this structure is a bit strange!"
"A large number of microbial groups were discovered, which are a complete microbial tribe community, the largest multicellular complex organism that is already 0.1 mm in size!"
"The discovery that shocked the world! Most of these creatures are fungi, a small amount of bacteria, and a very small part of multicellular life. This is a world that is slowly evolving!"
This news instantly caused a sensation in the entire Zheng He and the control center far away in the earth. The discovery of Ceres means that life is everywhere in the universe, humans and the earth are not lonely, and life is likely to be born where there is water in the universe!
Liu Qingquan, who received the news, ordered the blockade of the news immediately. This discovery was really important. Once it was announced, we had to consider whether it would cause panic to society!
Extraterrestrial life, even if it is just a microorganism, is completely different from two concepts! Especially this location is still in the solar system, and it can be said that it has left the recognized livable zone location. Traditionally, everyone believes that this is a cold and lifeless planet.
"I understand! Why are there microorganisms here, but there aren't anywhere else!" Bai Fengling suddenly said loudly, and was woken up by the people who were still calm and shocked.
"Please look here. Don't you think this place is very familiar? Similar to the structure of the mouth of Mars on Earth, I just saw a few bubbles coming out from here. Ceres is not a complete death star. There are a few places inside it that are active and not completely extinguished!"
"These microorganisms rely on these unfinished volcanoes to obtain heat and obtain the substances needed to survive!"
Bai Fengling turned the picture to the bubble he had just observed, and he spoke excitedly.
"I said, no microorganisms were found in other places, but this place was discovered. I understand now that the sea water above Ceres is very poor in fluidity, so it's no wonder that it can't be found in other places!"
Ying Bainian, who received the news, nodded and finally figured out the rationality of the existence of these microorganisms.
First of all, there is liquid water here. In fact, there are volcanoes that have not been completely extinguished to provide some heat and minerals, so that these microorganisms can reproduce normally.
After exploration, it was found that the entire world of microorganisms is actually very stable. It has not been hit by a major impact for billions of years, and is safer than the earth. This is really lucky in a place like the asteroid belt.
"We are really lucky. I guess there are not many places in the entire Ceres that have not been completely extinguished, and we have discovered it!"
"Haha, it's really luck! This place hasn't suffered a major impact for billions of years. I'm so lucky!"
"I didn't expect there would be life here. It seems that the number of life in the universe is indeed the same as the boss said, endless. We Earthlings must accelerate their development, otherwise it would be a disaster if we encounter a more powerful alien. The law of the jungle is not at all lucky!"
High-level officials like Jiang Zhipeng knew from Liu Qingquan a long time ago that humans and the earth are not lonely in this universe. Life usually exists in the universe. Moreover, higher life like humans are also very common in the universe, and a sense of urgency arises naturally!
It is really lucky that the Earthlings can develop smoothly and not meet aliens, but it does not mean that this kind of luck will accompany humans. We must speed up our development pace, improve our scientific and technological level as soon as possible, and improve our own strength in order to gain a place in the harsh universe competition in the future!
