Chapter 856 Preliminary Testing
"Don't worry, Lao Hu. The system will analyze the surrounding environment in real time and will immediately warn you if there is any danger."
In fact, with the capabilities of this Martian robot, even if it really falls into a cave, it can completely climb out by relying on its own powerful strength.
"Okay, then be careful, or I won't be able to go down with you."
Hu Shucheng's body is a real body, unlike Xu You who just controls a Martian robot, so Hu Shucheng still doesn't dare to take risks easily.
At this time, Xu You naturally did not need anyone's worry or help . He continued to dig the land on Mars on his own.
While digging, Xu You was constantly observing the surrounding environment and using the various detection functions of the Mars robot to understand various data about the surrounding environment.
In fact, there is another very important reason why Xu You is so determined to participate in the exploration of Mars in this way.
Xu You felt that in some aspects, he could surpass the most powerful artificial intelligence.
Although artificial intelligence is superior to all humans in terms of calculation, measurement, etc., it is just a machine after all. It does not have the flexibility of humans to adapt to complex situations.
And through countless simulations, Xu You has become very familiar with the environment where life exists.
This familiarity is not even based on any data, but is an indescribable feeling, like a "sixth sense" possessed by a few people.
"Um?"
At this time, Xu You seemed to have suddenly discovered something and stopped digging downwards.
Faintly, Xu You felt that the environment here was somewhat similar to the environment in the simulated world in his brain.
This sense of familiarity is difficult to express through data, because even artificial intelligence does not notice these implicit details.
"If my feeling is correct , there may be traces of life underneath."
Thinking of this, Xu You continued to dig downwards using his tools.
As the excavation work continued, Xu You's sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger.
Xu You was almost certain that this was very similar to some of .
After that, artificial intelligence's testing of the surrounding environment also verified Xu You's feeling.
"The detected proportion of organic matter has increased, which suggests that there is a high possibility of traces of life."
Hearing the voice coming from the headset, everyone's expression changed.
In fact, after the excavation work had been going on for a period of time, no one had much hope of finding signs of life here.
They were all using instruments to observe in real time whether there were any signs of life below, but during this period, there were no abnormal data fluctuations.
No one has the special feeling that Xu You has, and cannot use abilities like the "sixth sense" to find these signs, so they can only rely on data from instruments.
However, because of Xu You's persistence, no one dared to raise other opinions, and they could only wait silently for Xu You to complete his work.
Only Hu Shucheng had special trust in Xu You and believed that Xu You would definitely make some discovery down there.
"Did you really find something? You are worthy of being Old Xu. You really didn't let me down!"
After seeing this information, Hu Shucheng was very excited and even had the urge to jump in. However, the pit was too deep, so Hu Shucheng finally did not take the risk.
Others were also very excited about the news and started to analyze it with instruments.
"There are indeed some traces of life here! They are very similar to the soil samples brought back by our previous Mars probe!"
After preliminary testing, the project team came to this conclusion.
Xu You also temporarily stopped the excavation work at hand and was excited about the result.
Xu You carefully took some soil samples, put them away, and then flexibly used his tools to climb up along the edge of the pit.
Xu You was very skilled in the entire climbing process and returned to the surface of Mars with almost no effort.
"Old Xu, the way you climbed just now was like a monkey, hehe."
Hu Shucheng couldn't help but joke with Xu You. If Hu Shucheng was at the bottom, he would not be able to complete the same action.
"These are all the abilities of the Martian robots. I can only make good use of them. Well, let's not talk about this for now. Let's study these soil samples quickly."
The test just conducted by the instrument is, after all, only a preliminary test.
Next, the project team will need to conduct more detailed tests to determine the material composition of these soil samples and to determine how similar these soil samples are to the soil samples previously brought back by Mars rovers.
From the appearance, the two soil samples are very similar, and subsequent tests further confirmed this.
"Academician Xu, we have detected a substance similar to the structure of DNA in this soil sample. Judging from the composition of the substance, these are likely to belong to the same organism, or very closely related organisms."
Xu You leaned over to take a closer look at the data on the screen, and nodded seriously.
Judging from the data restored by measuring instruments , these traces of life do point to the same species of organisms with a high probability.
At this moment, Xu You suddenly remembered something and fell into a daze.
Hu Shucheng, who was very familiar with Xu You, knew that Xu You must be using his deep learning state again to think about what he was thinking.
"Academician Xu is thinking deeply. Please do not disturb Academician Xu and just do your own work."
"Okay, we got it."
In this way, the rest of the people continued to analyze the soil samples, while Xu You closed his eyes tightly, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Judging from the distance, the activity range of this species is wider than expected. It seems that some of my previous simulation results are still somewhat biased."
Xu You recalled the many simulations he had conducted before and keenly noticed this problem.
At this moment, Xu You felt somewhat fortunate that he had chosen to come to Mars in this way so that he could see the Martian environment up close.
Otherwise, it will take at least several months before the next opportunity to visit Mars.
