Chapter 873: Space Experiment Station
Luo Wenkun's analogy was not particularly appropriate, but it was close to Xu You's idea, and Xu You did not make any rebuttal to it.
"That's probably what I mean. Now let me tell you about my future plans."
"Well, Xu You, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best. Even if I can't do it, I will try my best to do it."
"Wenkun, I hope to build a space base in low-Earth orbit to study this Martian life. The entire research project requires the recruitment of some high-level biological and medical experts. Since the work is carried out in space and is somewhat dangerous, I don't know how many experts are willing to do this work."
Xu You knew that he couldn't demand the same of others as he demanded of himself.
Many people will not live to see the arrival of Proxima Centauri civilization, so how can they be willing to make sacrifices for the human civilization of Blue Planet?
However, if they are forced to participate in research, it will be difficult for them to devote themselves to their work.
All of this can only be done according to the experts' wishes.
"Okay, Xu You, I got it. Don't worry, I will solve the expert's problem and prepare a strong team for you."
"Well, Wenkun, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing Luo Wenkun showing such strong confidence, Xu You felt more confident.
Fulon Technology itself has the most powerful medical research team on Blue Planet, so it is naturally not a problem for Luo Wenkun to find these experts.
The most difficult problem is to make them willingly come to space to work and face these unknown extraterrestrial lives.
…
As time passed, Xu You continued his research experiments on this Martian creature.
After continuous development, some Martian cells have grown to a size visible to the naked eye, showing an appearance that is completely different from before.
Just as the results of Xu You’s previous brain simulation showed, these Martian creatures can indeed continue to grow after having suitable conditions and sufficient nutrients.
These Martian cells also showed obvious differences. From the outside, they did not have many similar characteristics, and they did not even look like the same organism.
"This strange characteristic is really not possessed by any species of creature on Blue Star. I wonder if there is any special reason for this special mechanism."
According to the current theory of the biological world on Blue Planet, the way organisms evolve is random, and there is no so-called "use it or lose it" theory. It is only because of the survival of the fittest that those organisms that can adapt to the conditions will survive .
However, Xu You always felt that the direction of biological evolution was not completely random, but was actually affected by the surrounding environment.
"Wait a minute... these nearly infinite growth mechanisms, could it be that they are designed to allow the species to continue better?"
Thinking of these Martian creatures, which can generate special cell shell structures in order to continue the population and allocate the growth direction of each cell, Xu You felt more and more that this possibility should exist.
Thinking of this, Xu You observed the behavior of these Martian cells more carefully.
After careful observation, Xu You actually found some new clues.
"The reason why some Martian cells grow to such a large size is not just an accidental behavior, but for the entire population to obtain better living conditions. Only when they have a large enough size can they have the ability to change the surrounding environment."
Xu You keenly observed that the characteristics of these Martian cells after they grow up are closely related to the surrounding environment.
They are like pioneers among the entire population, working hard to provide the entire population with a better living environment, so that they can survive and reproduce on the planet.
But even so, they have not developed into a large population on Mars due to the harsh conditions there. They simply rely on this special form of generating cell shells outside the cells to remain dormant permanently on Mars.
It was not until humans from the blue planet arrived on Mars and explored it that these lives reappeared on the red planet.
Thinking of this, Xu You could only sigh.
Putting aside the conflict between humans and this Martian creature, Xu You had to admit that this Martian cell was a very powerful species.
If this kind of life was born on the blue planet with a better environment, rather than on Mars with a more harsh environment, after billions of years of evolution, it is really unknown what level they would have developed to.
Xu You felt that if this was true, neither the humans on Blue Star nor the Proxima Centauri on Proxima Centauri might be as good as the Martian civilization that would emerge.
But if it's just if, on Mars where the environment is not particularly suitable, they will eventually have to remain dormant forever.
"Old Hu and the others should be getting close to Blue Star."
After finishing his observation , Xu You took a look at the information in the computer.
Two months have passed since Xu You came to low-Earth orbit. After all, life in space is not as comfortable as on the blue planet.
Xu You also wanted to finish this project quickly, return to Blue Star, and meet his family and friends again.
The longing for Lu Zhiyao also made Xu You's mind a little disturbed.
Fortunately, Xu You's concentration was strong enough and he quickly put this disturbance behind him.
At this moment, Xu You's communication device rang.
Xu You turned around and saw that it was Luo Wenkun calling.
Picking up the phone, Xu You said:
"Wenkun, what's wrong?"
"Xu You, I've already finalized the plan you mentioned. I've brought most of the experts here for you, except for those who need to conduct research on Blue Star. However, due to the size of the space station, I'm afraid we can't really send all the experts over. We'll probably have to conduct another selection to decide the final list."
Hearing Luo Wenkun say this, Xu You couldn't help laughing.
Originally, Xu You was worried that these experts would give up due to the difficulty of the project and would not want to come to space to conduct this experiment.
But Luo Wenkun was different. He not only got almost all the experts involved, but also made this a competitive project.
Xu You had to admit that Luo Wenkun was far better than himself in terms of organizational ability.
Seeing that Xu You didn't say anything on the other side, Luo Wenkun thought that Xu You was not satisfied with the result and continued to explain.
