Chapter 845: Conclusion
In addition to the internal conditions of these planets, the external conditions of the planets are also crucial.
First of all, there is the problem of light source.
The light emitted by stars is a necessary condition for the birth of life on planets, just as the blue planet is completely inseparable from the sun.
However, too strong light will have a counterproductive effect on the birth of life on the planet. Strong ultraviolet rays will kill almost all living things and make the planet lose its vitality.
Therefore, only after the atmosphere is formed on the surface of the planet can the ultraviolet rays be isolated to a certain extent, so that the amount of light received by the planet can be kept at an appropriate level.
In addition, the distance between the planet and the star, the layout around the planet, etc. are also relatively important conditions.
According to Xu You's simulation, generally speaking, smaller planets protected by larger planets have a higher probability of giving birth to life.
Because large planets can help block many obstacles, protecting smaller planets from most impacts, allowing life on the planets to grow and reproduce safely.
…
In the following period of time, the project team conducted a large number of experiments and obtained many important experimental conclusions.
Although the great achievement of creating life from scratch has not yet been fully accomplished, the results that have been achieved are enough to shock the biological community on Blue Planet.
During this period, Xu You did not participate in the experiment all the time, but he occasionally understood the progress of the experiment and provided some guidance at a macro level.
"Academician Xu, we have found the natural generation mechanism of many important organic chemical molecules such as amino acids. The conclusions of these experiments are basically the same as your predictions. As long as the environment and elements on the planet meet the requirements, these chemical substances necessary for life can be produced under a long enough period of time..."
Listening to the report from the project team experts, Xu You nodded slightly.
Over the past few days, through continuous experimentation and summarization, the project team finally succeeded in finding the direction of the experiment, and completed experimental results that would only take hundreds of millions of years to produce under natural conditions in a very short period of time.
These results have been proven in Xu You’s previous simulations. It was under Xu You’s guidance that the project team was able to achieve such a feat.
Of course, the progress of the specific experiment is also very important. If it were not for the help of these biological experts, it would definitely take longer to achieve these results.
Just at this moment, Cui Ying suddenly came over.
"Teacher Xu, there's news from the Shenzhou Space Administration that the Mars rover has successfully transported back Martian soil samples."
Hearing this news, Xu You was very excited and quickly said to Cui Ying:
"Teacher Cui, can you help me contact the Shenzhou Space Administration and ask them to send some soil samples?"
"No need, Mr. Xu, these soil samples are already on their way. The Shenzhou Space Agency knows that the world's best biological experts are gathered here, so there is no need for us to actively request them."
Xu You couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. This really provided him with a lot of convenience.
Within half an hour, the soil samples were transported to Jijing University.
Because these soil samples are extremely important, special police were specially deployed during transportation to protect the safety of the transportation process.
After receiving the soil samples, the project team immediately analyzed them.
This is the first time in the history of the Blue Planet that soil samples from Mars have been studied. All the experts seemed very excited and carried out their work carefully and conscientiously.
After a detailed analysis, the project team came to a preliminary conclusion.
"Based on our current research results, there is a greater than 99% probability that these soil samples have traces of life."
"Yes, I am sure that this is the structure of biological DNA. I am absolutely right. There really was life on Mars. The Blue Planet is not the only planet in the universe where life has been born, and it is not even the only one in the solar system!"
After completing the preliminary analysis of the Martian soil samples, the experts almost unanimously reached a conclusion that the components detected in these soil samples are indeed biological information.
This also proves the accuracy of Xu You's simulation.
"Very good, this way we have completed the task in one month. Although it is still uncertain whether this research will be helpful in resisting the Proxima civilization, it is definitely a good thing to be able to complete the task in one month," Xu You thought.
After confirming this conclusion, Xu You felt much more at ease.
The next highlight is to see whether it is possible to create a cell directly from scratch in the laboratory.
When the project team responded to the Shenzhou Space Administration with a positive message, everyone in the Shenzhou Space Administration was very excited about it.
After all, it is a major event to discover traces of life on an alien planet other than the Blue Planet. In terms of significance, it is even no less than human landing on the moon.
After this result was verified, the news was officially released to the public.
The public was completely unprepared for this news, because few people really believed that life had ever existed on Mars.
"What? There really was life on Mars? Isn't this too unbelievable?"
"I'm saying that there is life on Mars. Mars is a planet more suitable for human survival than the moon. I guess it won't be too far before humans migrate to Mars."
"The time for humans to enter the interstellar era is getting closer and closer. It is expected that before long, humans will sail out of the solar system and further expand the scope of Blue Planet civilization."
In the evening, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao went home together. On the way, they were also discussing the issue of the existence of life on Mars.
"I never thought that there was life on Mars. This is another major news that we will witness in our lifetime."
"Yes, we have witnessed too many great discoveries over the years. Fortunately, the news of the existence of life on Proxima b has not been made public. Otherwise, it would not arouse strong concern among mankind, but would cause strong panic among people."
At this time, the people of Blue Star did not know that there was also life on a planet more than four light years away from Blue Star, and it was intelligent life.
Their civilization level is more powerful than that of the Blue Star civilization. They have had frictions with the Blue Star civilization many times and have sent space fleets to the Blue Star.
"Yes, in fact, not letting the public know many things is a good thing for the public. Anyway, their arrival may take decades, and many people will not live to see that time, so why worry about it?"
