Chapter 605 Analysis
March 16, Xinghe Year 5.
It took 10 months for three Cicada-class spacecraft to arrive near the alien spacecraft one after another.
One of them continued to fly outside the solar system, along the route the alien spacecraft came from, with the purpose of naturally exploring whether there were other alien spacecraft following.
Another ship, after receiving 39,000 alien biological samples and 45,000 alien spacecraft parts samples, immediately turned around and returned to the inner circle of the solar system, heading at full speed towards the orbit of Mars.
The last ship brought various equipment to study the alien spacecraft and alien creatures on the spot.
Two Cicada-class spacecraft are combined together to form the Cicada Space Station.
Inside the Zhiliao Space Station.
Zheng Lin and other team members had been collecting for more than half a year and not only found aliens - six-clawed people, but also found several species reserves on the alien spacecraft.
In these species reserves, Zheng Lin and others found frozen microorganisms, plants, animals, and some embryos.
Although most of the alien animals survived, it is still possible to extract their genetic sequences.
Plants and microorganisms remain active after thawing, especially microorganisms, which can reproduce through culture medium under special conditions.
These species reserves are a treasure trove, especially the Jupiter Biological Experiment Base, the Second Pangu World, which is currently under construction.
Li Qingye not only planned to release creatures from the Earth, but also creatures from the six-clawed civilization .
Of course, the six-clawed people will definitely not clone and deploy .
After all, this is an intelligent race, and the situation of this race is not 100% certain. If the cloned six-clawed people have special abilities, it will not be conducive to the experiment.
For the biological experiments in the Pangu Realm, intelligent creatures are not important and may even be a nuisance.
After all, if there are too few intelligent creatures, they will not be able to withstand sudden changes in the environment, while if there are too many intelligent creatures, it will be easy for them to develop technology and also easy to cause scientific research ethics issues.
The purpose of the existence of Pangu Realm is to stimulate the evolutionary power of living things, not to allow intelligent creatures to play with technology in it.
…
There are a total of 8 laboratories in the Zhiliao Space Station that are responsible for the genes of alien creatures.
One of them is called the "Gene Memory Extraction Laboratory". Dr. Root, who came from Earth through synchronous communication, is studying a set of brain cells extracted from the head of the six-clawed man.
Although these six-clawed people have died after being frozen for tens of thousands of years , a large part of the genetic sequences in their cells are still preserved.
So how do we extract the genetic memory?
It's very simple. First, extract the reproductive cells of the six-clawed man and clone his brain. Then, you can analyze part of his memory through this brain.
However, this work is being done by the cloning laboratory next door. Dr. Root is now trying to analyze the hidden memories directly from the extracted brain cells.
It's just that this job is a bit difficult.
The reason is that there are huge differences in the genetic sequences between the six-clawed people and the people on Earth.
According to the genetic rune theory, it is the physical environment of the two planets that creates two different sets of planetary genetic runes.
Although we are all carbon-based organisms, this does not eliminate the differences.
Fortunately, they are all carbon-based organisms. If they were organisms formed based on other elements, the biological genetic memory analysis technology of the Homo sapiens company would be useless.
Dr. Root brought several researchers to analyze the data on these gene sequences bit by bit. In order to parse out the information in the genes, he used reverse stimulation from external environmental factors to gradually determine what kind of chemical changes would occur in the gene sequences after being stimulated by external environmental factors.
This method puts a high level of pressure on the precision of monitoring equipment and the analytical capabilities of supercomputers, and is also extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.
However, this method is very useful when analyzing the genetic information of unfamiliar organisms.
Even if it is an alien creature, as long as it is a carbon-based creature, this method can be used for brute force deciphering. This is the simplest and most brutal method, somewhat similar to the exhaustive method.
Once the genetic information of the first sample is analyzed, subsequent samples will become relatively simple.
As for why we don’t look for information storage devices or text materials on alien spacecraft.
The reason is useless.
This was the first time that the Homo Sapiens Company had come into contact with the six-clawed people, and these six-clawed people were still in a frozen state and had no way to communicate with each other.
Without the help of the six-clawed people, understanding the writing of the six-clawed civilization would be more difficult than analyzing genetic memory.
This is because genetic information and text information are essentially different.
Genetic information is essentially the content recorded in genes by organisms using physical laws. Its information must conform to physical laws and is a traceable information system.
Written information is a symbol created subjectively by living things for the purpose of communication. This symbol carries the subjective characteristics of living things. Without the assistance of living things familiar with these symbols, it is conceivable how difficult it would be to interpret these symbols and the content they compose.
Even if there is a supercomputer, it will be useless.
There have been some cases on Earth, such as the ancient Babylonian clay tablet writing, which is a typical dead writing system. It is impossible to decipher a writing system that has been completely cut off for thousands of years.
Unless the text is hieroglyphic, there is basically no possibility of deciphering it, even if you are a linguist with the brain of Einstein.
Because words carry the subjective characteristics of living things.
The ideas of different creatures are very different. A modern human and the ancient Babylonians thousands of years ago have different values and living environments. In addition, this civilization has been extinct for thousands of years. How can they decipher the clay tablets? 99% of the so-called decipherments are just subjective conjectures.
This is also the reason why the scientific research team of Sapiens Company directly gave up text information.
Without understanding the society, culture, and environment of the six-clawed people, it is impossible to analyze the true meaning of their writing.
Moreover, Zheng Lin and other team members did not find too many symbols on the alien spacecraft. Currently, there are 281 recorded symbols or patterns, excluding the identical ones, which is too small.
At the same time, the exploration team also discovered another situation, that is, the symbols of the six-clawed man are often engraved in relief.
Taking into account the fact that the six-clawed people have no eyes, the intelligence analysis team believes that the six-clawed people may rarely use writing.
After all, words are meant to be read.
The six-clawed people have no eyes, so they have no physiological need to create writing.
These engraved symbols may not be words, but some kind of indicative or decorative symbols.
As for the information storage equipment of the alien spacecraft, the intelligence analysis team had even less hope.
After all, this is the technology of another civilization. It is unknown what technical route they took, what information encoding they used, and what the content of the encoding corresponds to.
Therefore, the intelligence analysis team directly abandoned the plan of obtaining intelligence from information storage devices and instead fully supported Dr. Root's genetic extraction.
After all, genetic information is traceable. Even if it is time-consuming and laborious in the early stage, it is highly accurate. In the later stage, even the chemical change laws of part of the gene sequence are figured out, and the analysis speed will become faster and faster.
Time passed day by day, and after 143 days, Dr. Root finally saw the light of day. The corresponding changes in the genetic information of the first sample were analyzed, and the information contained in the sample's genetic sequence was then presented to everyone.
