Provincial Brain Computer Center.
Cafe on the fifth floor.
Whenever there is a "big event", an atmosphere similar to "watching football in a bar" will spontaneously form here. A group of researchers from the Brain Computer Center gather together to chat and eat various holiday snacks while watching the live broadcast.
Occasionally someone drinks.
Among the people who participated every time, the two professors Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei were considered frequent visitors, and they were responsible for most of the science popularization work.
After all... this is a brain-computer center. In addition to Ye Ming, everyone's main work is still reflected in the fields of artificial intelligence, biomedicine, as well as computers and materials when it was first established.
But today, the person responsible for hosting the "onlooker" was not them, but Ye Ming.
Since Ye Ming wanted to "mingle" with the crowd in the lounge, the sofa throne facing the TV naturally had to be his.
"Here comes the barbecue."
Tang Haowen and Zhou Xuchen rushed into the coffee shop with a barbecue and a beer, and the atmosphere immediately became heated.
Ye Ming laughed when he saw everyone rolling up their sleeves and starting to string strings together: "Good guys, do you do this every time?"
"Occasionally, occasionally." Zhou Xiangnan chuckled, grabbed a handful of mutton skewers and handed them to Ye Ming: "Come and try the skewers in the vegetable market. It tastes very good."
"Well..." Ye Ming is a master of making skewers. He only needs to taste it to know his craftsmanship: "It's okay."
"By the way, where's the seventh sister? Why didn't you see it?" Zhou Xiangnan looked outside the door again and asked.
"The company has something to do, so I'll have to come later." Ye Ming was eating skewers and looking at the TV. At this time, the host of the aerospace department on the TV was holding a piece of paper and talking non-stop about the past six months. Various achievements of the detector and the current preliminary analysis of Blue Star.
For example, atmospheric composition, geographical analysis, vegetation prediction and biological environment, etc.
The really important picture, that's none at all.
Ye Ming was dissatisfied and turned to look at the crowd who were looking at him eagerly: "Would you like to cut into the detector and take a look?"
Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"
Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei looked even more flattering: "This is what I've been waiting for!"
Ye Ming shook his head, smiled helplessly, and then told Aita to directly connect the internal images of the detector and the cabin probe to the TV, and create a split screen.
By the way, a small window as big as a palm was made for the chattering host to play background sounds.
"I feel comfortable now." Zhou Xiangnan laughed and sat down next to Ye Ming: "Mr. Ye, what do you think we can find on the ground this time?"
"It's hard to say." Ye Ming took the kuaizi handed over by Zhou Xuchen with a smile and picked up a piece of konjac.
"Oh... there's nothing to say!" Zhou Xiangnan became anxious upon hearing this: "Look, we are not outsiders... why don't you do what Nahu does with the media!"
Poof... Ye Ming burst out laughing.
He was able to return to the office free today, firstly because he couldn't help with this landing - this was considered a return landing of a traditional spacecraft, and the real experts were at the spaceport.
Secondly, it was because Mo Gu, as the general person in charge of this ground biological experiment, stationed at the Xichang center with half of the institute's biological and medical team.
In the brain-computer center, there still needs to be a person in charge.
As soon as he came back, Zhou Xiangnan and others were overjoyed and put it away.
Because in their eyes, Ye Ming was an omniscient being who could satisfy their thirst for knowledge.
"Actually, it's almost the same as the outside world." After laughing, Ye Ming coughed lightly: "Currently, based on spectral analysis, the rough result is that the composition of the atmosphere of Blue Star is similar to that of the Earth, but it is at a higher level of oxygen content. .”
"Hmm... It's a bit similar to the level of the Earth's Carboniferous Period and the beginning of the Permian Period. It's about 35%. It's considered a natural oxygen bar."
Sheng Fei immediately said: "Is the biosphere still dominated by large insects?"
"There is this speculation at the moment."
"What about the naming and classification of living things? Will you consider using the Earth's outline?"
"This depends on the evolutionary form of its biosphere and how similar it is to the Earth's biosphere." Ye Ming shook his head as he spoke, and said cautiously: "Currently, the entire biological world is noisy, but the details will have to wait until after detection. Know."
At this time, Tang Haowen asked curiously: "Professor Ye, how similar are the DNA of the Blue Star biosphere and the DNA of the Earth's biosphere...?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Ye Ming.
——When it was known that there were living things on the Blue Star, or in other words, after the detector passed by, the genes of the Blue Star people and the genes of the entire Blue Star ecology became the focus of science enthusiasts all over the world. .
Because humans are eager to know whether alien organisms, or alien carbon-based organisms, are controlled by genes like humans.
This question remains unanswered until the intact body is found.
However, when the Blue Star man's body was found and briefly analyzed, the scientific research team did not give any information about the genes.
Even if reporters asked questions, Ye Ming would still answer vaguely.
Now, the probe's exploration work in space has come to an end, leaving only a few engineering robots to perform some surface data collection tasks in places with good lighting conditions. The main body of the probe needs to land and interact with the biosphere of the Blue Star. The most intimate contact...
There is no way to escape the genetic issues regarding Blue Star's biosphere.
Facing everyone's gaze, Ye Ming exhaled softly and smiled: "Okay, I know what everyone is thinking. Is it the same origin?"
Tang Haowen laughed.
Yes, he asked this mainly because there is currently a mainstream statement - this statement was actually widely circulated after Ye Ming proposed "the universe is designed" last time.
That is, all living things in the entire universe are actually from the same origin.
Similar to, everything is born in the cradle of life in the universe.
Of course, for religious enthusiasts, this becomes the "basis" for having a "Creator God".
"Currently, based on the DNA analysis of the corpses of the Blue Star people, the DNA difference between them and humans is greater than that of a mouse. But it is undeniable that there are similarities."
"But based on these alone, we definitely cannot draw the same source."
"That……"
"I am more inclined to believe that if the Creator has given a similar cradle and conditions for the birth of life, then similar biological structures will inevitably be born." Ye Ming paused and looked at Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei: "You are engaged in materials. There must be people who know this better than me.”
Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time.
Yes, the current environment of the Blue Star is very similar to that of the Earth. Not only is it in its "human" habitable zone, but its rotation and revolution periods are similar to those of the Earth.
Then, it is logical that the earliest amino acids were born.
"This is a good thing!" Sheng Fei then looked at Ye Ming: "Isn't it?"
Ye Ming exhaled softly, smiled and nodded.
Yes, from an evolutionary perspective, of course it is a good thing!
And...it's still a great thing!
Even because its significance is so important, the research team has never dared to publicize it in a big way - whether it is the same life form or the same life form born in the same environment, as long as they follow the laws of life development, they can give humans a biological level. Provide valuable experience!
This experience may bring the most critical help to human evolution.
But how to say it?
Scientific ethics is like a law of heaven placed there.
Therefore, no one dared to say more, or even dare to mention more than half a sentence.
Only some "scientists" or hobbyists with open minds among the people dare to mention it occasionally...scientists, I really don't dare to mention it.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. It seems that the landing procedure has begun."
…
As the screen switches to the command hall, this also means that the probe has started the landing procedure.
When the countdown ended, the probe successfully released its parachute.
Gradually, the mountains of the blue star gradually approached, the earth gradually became flat, and lush greenery also appeared in front of us.
The landing site was on a high green plain.
When the scene in front of them shook, everyone in the cafe held their breath at the same time.
"Successful landing!"
As Director Zhang announced in a deep voice on the TV, Ye Ming took the lead in applauding.
Then, he stood up and strode to the office downstairs.
——Next, he will participate in the first out-of-cabin detection remotely.
…
"Sister Mo, are you excited?"
Ye Ming put down his chair, half-lying down and put on his VR glasses. After switching to the detector's first vision, he connected to Mo Gu's call channel.
"Yes!" Mo Gu hummed slightly, but everyone could hear the nervousness and excitement in her voice: "Don't chat now, I will arrange environmental monitoring."
"Yeah, keep going."
Ye Ming chuckled, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the scene in front of him carefully.
The height of the detector is nearly thirty meters, and the location where it landed happens to be a "raised" "plateau" part of a jungle.
Looking around from the detector lens, there are lush jungles and large green vegetation. There are even many vines at the feet of the detector.
At this time, it was afternoon on Blue Star, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and a "jade belt" could be vaguely seen surrounding the sky.
Well, that is the star ring in the orbit of the Blue Star satellite.
A little further away, you can clearly see the ruins of the Sky City.
Mo Gu's instructions kept coming to Ye Ming's ears.
"Preparing for Gas Collection and Analysis."
“Preparing Soil Collection and Analysis.”
"Zhang Bureau, are the drones ready?"
"Oh, then prepare to release the drone."
"Everyone must pay attention to environmental isolation, especially to leave the last safe earth environment for experimental animals. Don't regard mice and dogs as ordinary animals, but regard them as earth creatures... …”
Just under Mo Gu's calm instructions, a smile appeared on Ye Ming's lips.
As the commander-in-chief of biological detection, it stands to reason that as a medical student, she is a bit unprofessional, but considering that she is fully responsible for the most important earth creatures, no one objected when Ye Ming proposed it.
Now it seems that Mo Gu is indeed successful.
Just when Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a sharp whistle came from his ears.
Hearing this voice, Ye Ming was startled subconsciously. When he realized that it was coming from Blue Star, he immediately sat up straight.
After a moment, Mo Gu's voice sounded again: "Quick, release the drone!"
Then, she added: "Ye Ming, drone number t13."
Ye Ming understood and immediately ordered Aita to adjust the main screen to the T13 drone.
The picture sank first, then lifted up.
Then... Ye Ming saw, from the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, a group of huge flying animals jumped out of the jungle with a crash and came towards the drone.
They resemble dragonflies, mosquitoes, and locusts.
But their size is so large that it is daunting. In the drone's view, they look like a group of heavy fighter planes.
"Fuck!" Ye Ming subconsciously raised his head back.
The howling wind passed by my ears.
In an instant, Ye Ming could even see clearly the furry claws under this flying creature.
Fortunately, the drone was controlled by Aita. It easily avoided the attack of this group of uninvited guests and then descended again.
"Fuck!" Mo Gu's voice also sounded low: "The era of giant insects! Ye Ming! The era of giant insects!"
Ye Ming exhaled forcefully and nodded slowly.
Yes, the previous analysis is correct.
The current oxygen content of the Blue Star is at an extremely high concentration, so... those insect creatures similar to the earth can easily obtain enough oxygen, and then maintain a huge size.
The animal just now had its wings spread nearly two meters.
"Then how to study? Catch one?" Ye Ming took two hard breaths and joked with a smile.
"Grab a shovel! It's over... In the era of giant insects, the world was dominated by insects, and there probably weren't many mammals." Although he said "It's over", Mo Gu's tone was obviously full of excitement and excitement, and there was no trace of it at all. The “done” depression.
"No, don't imagine a brand new planet based on Earth's creatures and ecology."
And following Ye Ming's voice, as if for comment, another high-pitched roar appeared in the ears from the jungle below.
If the whistling sound just now was similar to the sound produced by insects, then this sound... sounds like it comes from... the throat.
After Ye Ming heard the sound, he decisively took over the control of the drone and let Aita control it to fly lower.
After passing through a less dense tree canopy, the drone slowly descended.
A huge behemoth eight meters high appears in the drone footage.
The giant beast has four legs, a long neck, and a huge head, like a combination of a giraffe and a dinosaur.
At this time, its two eyes were squeezed in the center of its forehead, staring blankly at the drone.
Its eyes were visibly full of doubts and confusion.
