Chapter 841: Traces of Life on Mars
"Yes, Severi, we do want to build the moon into the largest space station, and a mobile space station. In the future, we do not rule out the possibility of allowing interstellar travel on the moon, but this possibility has not yet been confirmed."
Xu You did not speak too confidently, and when Severi heard Xu You say that, she did not doubt it at all.
After all, judging from the current development , Xu You’s statement is completely tenable.
"Then Mr. Xu, if the moon deviates from its original orbit, it will also affect the movement of the blue planet. After that, the moon will no longer be visible from the blue planet."
"Of course, so we will not implement this plan easily, but these problems are not unsolvable. We only need to place a particle with the same mass as the moon at the original position of the moon, and we can solve this problem theoretically. However, in the actual implementation process, there are still many details that need to be solved."
"Teacher Xu, can you let me solve this problem? I am very interested in this problem."
"Of course, Severi, if you have time, you can study this issue." Xu You said.
Now Xu You has completed the design of the overall framework of the plan. As for the details, there are still many areas that need to be adjusted.
If Severi can complete these tasks, Xu You will naturally be very happy, and it will also be a good opportunity to exercise Severi's abilities.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, I will definitely complete this task seriously."
When Xu You assigned her this task for the first time, Severi took it very seriously and was determined to do a good job in research on this topic.
At this time, Lin Shi seemed to have suddenly received some information and became a little excited.
"Lin Shi, what's wrong?"
Xu You noticed Lin Shi's mood change and asked Lin Shi.
"Teacher, our probe on Mars has detected some new data. Could it be that there really was life on Mars?"
Hearing Lin Shi's words, Xu You also became excited.
Because if this news is confirmed to be true...
Well, in the solar system, there are at least two planets with life!
This new discovery will undoubtedly cause huge shock in the biological world.
Excited, Xu You quickly checked the information that Lin Shi saw.
"Is this... a trace of DNA?"
After seeing the core content of the information, Xu You couldn't help but frown.
If we can detect traces of DNA on Mars, it is enough to prove that life must have existed on Mars.
Of course, it is not possible to draw a definite conclusion based solely on the data sent by the Mars rover.
After all, there are errors in the detection of the Mars rover. If you want to get accurate conclusions, you must send these soil samples back from Mars.
"According to the detection accuracy of the Mars rover, the possibility of life on Mars has reached at least 90%. Lin Shi, if possible, please contact the Shenzhou Space Administration and try to bring back samples for testing."
Xu You attached great importance to this news and naturally wanted to further confirm this possibility.
Once it is confirmed that life once existed on Mars, Xu You is willing to go to Mars in person to conduct field exploration.
Although Xu You’s main task at present is to guard against the invasion of alien civilizations, Xu You has already made arrangements for the construction of the death planet and does not need to do much.
The exploration of the origin of life also has a very important significance in the development of civilization and will not conflict with the defense of the planet.
"Teacher, the Shenzhou Space Administration has already arranged this matter. We expect that we will be able to transport the samples back in a month."
Thanks to the rapid progress of Blue Planet's aerospace industry, transporting soil samples between Mars and Blue Planet is not as troublesome as before.
"That's great. After a month, we can confirm the accuracy of this information." Xu You said excitedly.
Severi also heard the conversation between Xu You and Lin Shi, and came over and said:
"In fact, the Proxima civilization has also been searching for signs of life on other planets. Similar situations have been discovered by the Proxima civilization on other planets, but only traces of life have been found on some planets, and no advanced intelligent life has been found."
Hearing what Severi said, Xu You and Lin Shi were both stunned.
"Severi, do you mean that the existence of traces of life on planets is actually a common thing?"
"Yes, it can be said that the existence of life on a planet is not particularly rare. As long as the conditions on the planet are not particularly harsh, there may be traces of life. Of course, it does not necessarily mean that real life has ever appeared. It may just be some large organic molecules or protein structures. In comparison, it is more difficult to continue life."
Xu You quickly understood what Severi said and combined this phenomenon with knowledge of mathematics and physics.
"It can probably be understood this way. In fact, as long as conditions permit and time is sufficient, this series of reactions from inorganic matter to organic matter, to organic macromolecules, and then to protein structure, all have a high probability of occurring. However, as time goes on, the conditions for the formation of matter become more and more stringent, and the formation of life becomes a matter of low probability..."
Xu You's words sounded a bit abstract, but Severi and Lin Shi both roughly understood what Xu You meant.
"Yes, Mr. Xu, that's probably how it can be understood. The formation of life is a relatively easy process, but it takes a very long time, perhaps hundreds of millions of years. But under drastic changes in the environment, it is very easy for life to experience mass extinction. I mean the kind of devastating mass extinction, not the kind of mass extinction that has occurred five times on the Blue Planet."
In the history of Blue Planet, there have been five mass extinction events that destroyed most of the creatures on the planet, but none of them caused the complete disappearance of all creatures on the planet.
In every mass extinction event, there will be some tenacious and lucky creatures that ultimately survive, and until the emergence of humans, they become the new rulers of the blue planet.
"To some extent, the creatures that survived the mass extinction are indeed strong enough, but this also proves from the side that the power of these mass extinction events is not enough. These creatures are not intelligent creatures. If a particularly devastating event really occurred, no creature on the blue planet would be able to survive, and naturally there would be no human beings."
