From black technology to super engineering.

Chapter 436 The Age of Giant Insects
Provincial Jiaotong Brain-Computer Center.

Cafe on the fifth floor.

Whenever there is a "big event", an atmosphere similar to "watching football in a bar" will spontaneously form here. A group of researchers from the brain-computer center gather together, chatting and eating various seasonal snacks while watching the live broadcast.

Occasionally someone drinks.

Among the participants every time, the two professors Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei were regular visitors, and at the same time they were responsible for science popularization work most of the time.

After all... this is the brain-computer center. Except for Ye Ming, everyone's work is still reflected in the fields of artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and computers and materials when they were established.

But today, Ye Ming is not the one who is in charge of hosting the "crowd".

Since Ye Ming wanted to "get together" with the crowd in the lounge, the sofa seat facing the TV naturally had to be his.

"Here we come, the barbecue is here."

Tang Haowen and Zhou Xuchen carried a barbecue one and a beer in the other. After rushing into the coffee shop, the atmosphere immediately heated up.

Seeing everyone rolling up their sleeves and starting to roll skewers, Ye Ming laughed: "Good guy, do you do this every time?"

"Occasionally, occasionally." Zhou Xiangnan smiled, grabbed a handful of mutton skewers and handed them to Ye Ming: "Come and try the skewers in the vegetable market. They taste very good."

"Hmm..." Ye Ming is a master at making skewers, and he can tell his skills just by tasting it: "It's not bad."

"By the way, where is Seventh Sister? Why didn't you see it?" Zhou Xiangnan asked, looking outside the door again.

"The company has something to do, so I won't be here until later." Ye Ming looked at the TV while eating the skewers. At this time, the host of the aerospace department on the TV was holding a manuscript and introducing it non-stop, and his mouth was turning over and over again. Various achievements of the probe and the current preliminary analysis of the blue star.

Such as atmospheric composition, such as geographical analysis, such as vegetation guessing and biological environment, etc.

The really important picture, that's not at all.

Ye Ming couldn't take it anymore, and turned his head to look at the crowd who were staring at him eagerly: "Do you want to cut into the detector and have a look?"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"

Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei were flattering: "I'm waiting for your words!"

Ye Ming shook his head, smiled helplessly, and then told Aita to directly connect the image inside the detector and the probe of the cabin to the TV, and made a split screen.

By the way, I also made a small window the size of a palm to play the background sound for the chattering host.

"It's comfortable now." Zhou Xiangnan laughed, and sat down beside Ye Ming: "Mr. Ye, what do you think you can find on the ground this time?"

"It's hard to say." Ye Ming took the chopsticks Zhou Xuchen handed over with a smile, and picked up a piece of konjac.

"Oh... what's wrong with it!" Zhou Xiangnan became anxious when he heard it: "Look, we are not outsiders... let's not fool the media like that!"

Pfft... Ye Ming burst out laughing.

He was able to return to the office today because he couldn't help with this landing—this is a return-to-earth landing of a traditional spacecraft, and the real experts at the space port are the ones.

The second reason is that Mo Gu, as the general director of this ground biological experiment, brought half of the institute's biological and medical team to the Xichang Center.

In the brain-computer center, there must always be someone in charge.

And as soon as he came back, Zhou Xiangnan and the others were overjoyed and put it away immediately.

Because in their eyes, Ye Ming is an omniscient existence, which can just satisfy their thirst for knowledge.

"It's actually similar to the outside world." After laughing, Ye Ming coughed lightly: "According to the current spectral analysis, the rough result is that the composition of the atmosphere of Canglan Star is similar to that of the Earth, but it is at a level with a relatively high oxygen content. .”

"Well... it's a bit similar to the level at the beginning of the Carboniferous and Permian periods of the earth. It's about 35%, which can be regarded as natural oxygen."

Sheng Fei immediately said: "Then the biosphere is still dominated by large insects?"

"There is speculation at the moment."

"What about the naming and classification of organisms? Will you consider using the outline of the earth?"

"This depends on the evolutionary form of its biosphere and how similar it is to the earth's biosphere." Ye Ming shook his head and said cautiously: "At present, the entire biological world is arguing, but the specifics still have to wait until the detection. Know."

At this time, Tang Haowen asked curiously: "Professor Ye, how much acquaintance do the DNA of the Canglan Planet's biosphere and the DNA of the Earth's biosphere... have?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Ye Ming.

——When it is known that there are creatures on the Canglan Planet, or in other words, once the probe has passed, the genes of the Candidates and the entire ecology of the Canglan Planet have become the focus of science enthusiasts all over the world .

Because human beings are eager to know whether extraterrestrial organisms, or extraterrestrial carbon-based organisms, are governed by genes just like human beings.

This question remains unanswered until the complete body is found.

However, when the body of the Canglan Star was found and analyzed briefly, the scientific research team did not give any information about genes.

Even if the reporter asked a question, Ye Ming answered vaguely at that time.

Now, the detection work of the probe in space has come to an end, and only a few engineering robots are left to perform some surface data collection tasks in places with good lighting conditions. close contact...

The question about the genetics of the Canglan Planet's biosphere can no longer be avoided.

Facing everyone's eyes, Ye Ming exhaled lightly and smiled: "Well, I know what everyone is thinking. Is it the same source?"

Tang Haowen started laughing.

Yes, he asked this, mainly because there is a mainstream saying at present-this saying is actually widely circulated after Ye Ming proposed "the universe is designed" last time.

That is, the creatures in the entire universe are actually of the same origin.

Similar to, everything is born in the cradle of life in the universe.

Of course, for religious lovers, this becomes the "basis" for having a "creator god".

"Currently, based on the DNA analysis of the corpses of the Canglan Star people, the difference between their DNA and that of humans is greater than that of mice. But it is undeniable that there are indeed similarities."

"But based on these alone, it is definitely not possible to talk about the same origin."

"That……"

"I'm more inclined to think that if the creator gave similar cradles and the conditions for the birth of life, then similar biological structures will inevitably be born." Ye Ming paused, looked at Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei: "You are engaged in materials, Definitely know more about this than I do."

Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei looked at each other, then nodded at the same time.

Yes, the current environment of Canglan Star is very similar to that of the Earth. Not only is it in the "human" habitable zone, but its rotation and revolution period are similar to the Earth.

Then, it is logical that the earliest amino acids were born.

"This is a good thing!" Sheng Fei then looked at Ye Ming: "Isn't it?"

Ye Ming exhaled lightly, nodded with a smile.

Yes, from an evolutionary point of view, of course it is a good thing!

And...it's a great thing!

Even because its significance is too great, the research team has been afraid to publicize it with great fanfare—whether it is the same life form born from the same source or the same environment, as long as they follow the law of life development, they can give human beings a biological level. Provide valuable experience!

This kind of experience may bring the most critical help to the evolution of human beings.

But how?

Scientific ethics is like a rule of heaven.

Therefore, no one dared to say more, not even to mention half a sentence.

Only some "scientists" or hobbyists with big brains in the folks dare to mention it occasionally... Scientists, I really dare not mention it.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, it seems that the landing procedure has begun."

……

With the screen switching to the command hall, this also means that the probe has started the landing procedure.

When the countdown ended, the probe successfully released the parachute.

Gradually, the mountains of the blue star approached, the land gradually flattened, and lush greenery appeared before the eyes.

The landing site is on a high green plain.

When the picture in front of him trembled for a while, everyone in the coffee shop held their breath at the same time.

"Successful landing!"

Following Director Zhang's solemn announcement on TV, Ye Ming took the lead in applauding.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up and strode towards the office downstairs.

——Next, he will participate in the first out-of-cabin detection through remote control.

……

"Sister Mo, are you excited?"

Ye Ming put down his chair, put on the VR glasses while lying down, switched to the detector's first vision, and connected to Mogu's call channel.

"En!" Mo Gu hummed lightly, but everyone could hear the tension and excitement in her voice: "Don't chat, I will arrange environmental monitoring."

"Yeah, you go on."

Ye Ming chuckled, put his hands behind his head, and carefully looked at the picture in front of him.

The height of the detector is close to 30 meters, and the landing position happens to be the "protruding" "plateau" part of a jungle.

Looking around from the detector lens, there are lush jungles and large green vegetation, and even under the detector's feet, there are many vines.

At this time, it was the afternoon of Canglanxing, the sky was brightly sunny, and a "jade belt" was faintly visible around the sky.

Well, that is the star ring on the orbit of the Canglan Star satellite.

A little further away, you can clearly see the ruined city in the sky.

Mo Gu's instructions kept coming from Ye Ming's ears.

"Preparing for Gas Acquisition and Analysis."

"Preparation for soil collection and analysis."

"Zhang Bureau, are the drones ready?"

"Oh, prepare to release the drone then."

"Everyone must pay attention to environmental isolation, especially to leave the last safe earth environment for experimental animals. Don't regard mice and dogs as ordinary animals, but as creatures on earth... ..."

Under Mo Gu's calm instructions, a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Ming's mouth.

As the commander-in-chief of biological detection, it stands to reason that she, a medical student, is a bit unprofessional, but considering that she is fully responsible for the most important creatures on earth, when Ye Ming proposed, no one objected.

Now it seems that Mo Gu can do it.

Just when Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from his ear.

Hearing this voice, Ye Ming was startled subconsciously. When he realized that it was from Canglan Star, he immediately sat up straight.

After a while, Mo Gu's voice sounded again: "Quick, release the drone!"

Immediately afterwards, she added: "Ye Ming, the number of the drone is T13."

Ye Ming understood, and immediately ordered Aita to adjust the main screen to the T13 drone.

The screen first sank, and then lifted high.

Then... Ye Ming saw that from the dense forest below the mountain, a group of huge flying animals jumped out of the jungle with a crash, and headed towards the drone.

They are like dragonflies, mosquitoes, and locusts.

But their size is so large that it is daunting. In the vision of drones, they look like a group of heavy fighters.

"Fuck!" Ye Ming subconsciously raised his head back.

The howling wind passed by my ears.

In an instant, Ye Ming could even see clearly the furry claws under the flying creature.

Fortunately, the drone was controlled by Aita. It easily avoided the attack of this group of uninvited guests, and then descended again.

"Fuck!" Mo Gu's voice also sounded low: "The era of giant insects! Ye Ming! The era of giant insects!"

Ye Ming exhaled forcefully and nodded slowly.

Yes, the previous analysis is correct.

The current oxygen content of the Canglan Star is at an extremely high concentration, so... those insect creatures similar to the earth can easily obtain enough oxygen, and then maintain a huge size.

The animal just now had its wings spread close to two meters.

"Then how do you study it? Grab one?" Ye Ming took a few breaths and joked with a smile.

"Grab a shovel! It's over... The age of giant insects is dominated by insects, and there are probably not many mammals." Although he said it was over, Mo Gu's tone was obviously full of excitement and excitement, without any trace of excitement. The frustration of being "fucked".

"Not necessarily, don't use the biology and ecology of the earth to imagine a brand new planet."

And following Ye Ming's voice, as if for commentary, another high-pitched roar appeared in his ears in the jungle below.

If the whistling sound just now was similar to the unique caller of insects, then this sound...it sounds like it came from...the throat.

After Ye Ming heard the sound, he decisively took over the control of the drone and let Aita control it to fly to a lower place.

After crossing a less dense canopy, the drone descended slowly.

A huge monster with a height of eight meters appeared in the footage of the drone.

The monster has four legs, a long neck, and a huge head, like a combination of a giraffe and a dinosaur.

At this time, its two eyes were crowded in the center of its forehead, staring blankly at the drone.

Its eyes were visibly full of doubt and incomprehension.
