Chapter 870: Giant Single-Celled Organism
"I want to see how big you can grow."
Thinking of this, Xu You immediately planned a new experimental plan in his mind.
Xu You's plan is to divide these Martian cells into multiple groups and conduct more detailed control experiments.
Xu You wanted to see to what extent these Martian cells could grow if they had a sufficiently suitable environment and sufficient nutrients.
After starting the experiment, Xu You observed the changes in these cells through a microscope and computer equipment.
Normally, even if the growth rate of these Martian cells is fast enough, no obvious changes will be found in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Xu You tried to see if he could use his brain simulation skills to predict the growth and development patterns of these cells in advance.
In fact, Xu You’s brain simulation skill is not an omnipotent ability.
Only with sufficient understanding of the object of simulation can Xu You accurately analyze and predict the target's future behaviors.
In the previous simulation, the reason why Xu You failed to successfully predict the full capabilities of this type of Martian cell was because Xu You’s understanding of this type of fire cell was not comprehensive enough.
Because of this, Xu You only succeeded in simulating some behaviors of this Martian cell in the field of dormancy mechanism.
But now, Xu You has observed the behavior of these Martian cells under normal conditions, which means that Xu You has a more thorough understanding of these Martian cells.
Sure enough, when Xu You simulated these Martian cells again, he did obtain more simulation phenomena than before.
“This…how is this possible?”
However, as the simulation gradually began to proceed, Xu You couldn't help but feel deeply shocked.
Under suitable environmental conditions and sufficient nutrients, the growth limit of these Martian cells far exceeded Xu You's expectations.
It was seen that in the simulated space in Xu You's brain, some Martian cells actually grew to a diameter of several tens of centimeters, with different shapes and no fixed standards.
These originally simple single-celled organisms now resemble some plants and some animals, but in essence, they are indeed just a single cell.
"The size of a single-celled organism can actually reach such a terrifying level... No, we must not allow such a creature to come to the Blue Planet so easily!"
Xu You knew that without sufficient knowledge about this Martian creature, there would be huge risks in rashly allowing it to come to the Blue Planet .
Even if they are only used in the field of research and are strictly monitored, there is no absolute guarantee that these creatures will not be leaked into the nature.
You should know that the size of this organism can be large or small. When it is small, it is no different from ordinary single-celled organisms and can only be seen under a microscope.
But when all conditions are suitable, they can grow to a size visible to the naked eye, and may even be larger than some small animals and plants.
This special creature is undoubtedly extremely dangerous to the Blue Star.
What's more, Xu You still couldn't guarantee at this time how well he knew about this kind of creature and whether he could predict most of their behaviors.
Thinking of this, Xu You didn't care whether his test was accurate or not, and immediately contacted the Shenzhou Space Administration.
After listening to Xu You's explanation, the leaders of the Shenzhou Space Administration also attached great importance to it.
"Academician Xu, you mean that according to your simulation experiments, these organisms may grow to a very large size and may pose a threat to the ecosystem of the Blue Planet?"
"Yes, according to my current speculation, it is true. I think that before we have all the information about this Martian creature, we should not let the Mars exploration team return to the blue planet."
Now, the Mars exploration team, including Hu Shucheng, is on its way back to the blue planet.
Because there are already living Martian creatures on their aerospace fighters. Even if these Martian creatures are still in a dormant state at this time, there is no guarantee that these aerospace fighters and these Martian exploration team members have not been contaminated by these Martian creatures.
After listening to Xu You's suggestion, the Shenzhou Space Administration immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.
Because the risks that may arise are too great, and it may even pollute the entire ecosystem of the blue planet, even if the probability of such a result is very small, this matter must be taken seriously.
Finally, after detailed discussions, everyone unanimously decided not to allow the Mars exploration team to return to the blue planet for the time being.
When they approach the Blue Planet, they will, like Xu You, temporarily stay in the Blue Planet's low-Earth orbit.
When necessary, some necessary supplies will be transported to them via space.
After receiving this order, Hu Shucheng and others were somewhat caught off guard by this matter.
They could imagine that this kind of Martian creature posed certain risks, but they never imagined that the potential risk was so great.
Fortunately, they have sufficient resources on their aerospace fighters.
However, after suddenly receiving this order, their mood will still fluctuate to some extent.
"Originally, I thought that we would be able to return to Blue Star in more than 20 days, but now, I don't know when I can return to Blue Star and meet my family and friends."
Hu Shucheng seemed much calmer than others, because when he decided to go to Mars, Hu Shucheng had already made plans for the worst.
"That's nothing. The worst case scenario is that we have all been parasitized by these Martian creatures without anyone noticing. If we really return to the Blue Planet, I don't know how huge the risk will be."
After learning the latest information about this Martian creature, Hu Shucheng felt that it was indeed the best option for them not to return to the Blue Planet for the time being.
"So do we still need to continue researching this Martian creature? If we continue researching it, wouldn't that be a bit of a disaster?"
"Of course we have to continue our research. You know, Academician Xu You is already cultivating normal Martian cells. What we need to study now is how long it takes for these Martian cells to recover from dormancy to normal. The risk Academician Xu You faces now is much greater than ours."
