Homo sapiens.

Kudo Naoya flipped through the gene sequence of the lunar bacteria.

"Did you find anything?" Wise Hernandez asked.

"No, so far we have only found this kind of lunar organism, and the gene samples are too few. I need to do some gene knockout experiments."

Wise Hernandez also knew that it is not so simple to figure out the function of its genes based on a single lunar creature: "Can the equipment here meet the needs of your experiment?"

"Yes." Kudo Naoya began to write and draw on the tablet, dividing the genetic sequences of lunar bacteria.

Although it is a gene knockout, it is not a random knockout, but a plan needs to be made, and various experimental plans must be designed to compare the difference between the bacterial knockout gene fragment and the original strain.

Wise Hernandez played for Naoya Kudo.

With the cooperation of the two, they quickly formulated a set of plans and identified 50 gene segments that needed to be knocked out.

In order to ensure accuracy, each time a single gene fragment is knocked out, they have to prepare 100 experimental strains at the same time.

After working for more than three hours, the 100 samples of the first gene fragment were completed. Kudo Nao also let out a sigh of relief: "Huh... there are not enough people!"

"There is no way. There are only 24 people in the Copernicus base. I hope we can increase the number of people in the future!" Wise Hernandez also had a helpless face.

The two came to the rest cabin next to the experimental cabin.

Kudo Naoya opened the refrigerator, took a bottle of vitamin energy drink, and took a big sip: "The matter of increasing manpower is probably hopeless in the near future."

He is very familiar with the planning of the space business department, and the number of permanent employees at the Copernicus base is actually quite a lot.

In order to take care of the life of the astronauts and avoid psychological problems, they all work on the moon for two months, and then return to the earth to recuperate for four months.

Kudo Naoya and others are the third batch of monthly employees, and they will return to Earth for vacation in about 24 days.

"I heard that the pseudo-gravity on the space station, after the rotating arm reaches a length of 500 meters, no obvious gradient difference can be felt. In the future, this method may be used to live in outer space for a long time."

Putting down the bottle, Kudo Naoya shook his head: "I estimate that this pseudo-gravity system will have to wait at least 5 to 10 years before it can be applied on a large scale."

"Why?" Wise Hernandez was puzzled.

"Safety. After all, there is a difference between centrifugal force and gravity. The company must evaluate whether this method will affect the human body. This requires long-term observation."

After taking a sip of iced milk tea, Wise Hernandez leaned on the sofa and glanced at the big screen on one side, which was broadcasting today's news.

Suddenly he saw a piece of news about the Earth Alliance, and then he said with a smile: "The Earth Alliance will launch three spacecraft to land on the moon next month. It seems that they will be our neighbors."

Kudo Nao also took a glance: "Their landing point is at the south pole of the moon? It's really radical."

"Let's congratulate them on their success!" Wise Hernandez said, picking up the milk tea bottle.

"I hope nothing will happen!" Although Kudo Naoya looked down on the technology of the Earth Alliance, he was not so dark as to curse the opponent's spacecraft for problems.

Homo sapiens actually doesn't care about the development of aerospace technology by the Earth Alliance.

Mainly because of the technical gap between the two sides, the Earth Alliance can bite the bullet and build a moon base, but they certainly cannot develop the moon.

If Homo sapiens really wants to deal with Earthlink's spacecraft, not to mention Earthlink is going to build a moon base, even if their spacecraft is going out of the atmosphere, Homo sapiens can make it difficult for them to move an inch.

Naoya Kudo found another news report about spaceflight: "Huh? The cloud palace project for Venus has started?"

"The Cloud Palace project?" Wise Hernandez recalled it for a while, and finally found relevant memory fragments in the corner of his memory: "Is that the Cloud Palace that is planned to be built above the atmosphere of Venus?"

"Well, there should be no problem with the technology. The gas concentration in the atmosphere of Venus is much higher than that of the Earth's atmosphere. Using vacuum airship technology to build a floating cloud palace is still possible."

"I remember that the gravitational index of Venus is about the same as that of Earth?"

Kudo Nao also nodded: "Yes, Venus is actually more suitable for humans than Mars. After all, the gravity is almost the same, and the gravity of Mars is lower."

Wise Hernandez drank the milk tea in the military bottle: "Hi... But the main components of Venus' atmosphere are carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, which are too corrosive to spacecraft."

"It's just a small problem."

"Compared to Venus and Mars, I am actually more optimistic about Jupiter. This planet has a lot of natural satellites, and the resources on it are very rich."

Kudo Naoya smiled and shook his head: "Jupiter is too far away, and the manned spacecraft cannot use nuclear explosions to propel it. Distance is a big problem."

"I heard that the headquarters plans to build a mass projector on the back of the moon, which should shorten the time to travel to Jupiter." Wise Hernandez stood up: "Continue the experiment!"

"no problem."

The two entered the experimental cabin again and continued the experiment.

After knocking out specific gene segments, they began to try to breed these new lunar bacteria.

For one week, the two conducted 14 experiments successively, knocking out 14 related gene segments respectively.

During this period, those lunar bacteria that had been knocked out of the gene segment also behaved differently.

Some died directly, some grew out of control, and some divided at a much slower rate.

By analyzing these situations, Kudo Naoya and Wise have a preliminary understanding of the gene fragments of some lunar bacteria and the biological functions they represent.

The functions of several of the gene fragments made Wise ecstatic, because these gene fragments were specially adapted to the moon's gravity and evolved.

If these genes are inserted into the gene sequences of earth organisms, it may be possible to make the strains of biosynthesis technology more adaptable to the gravity of the moon.

After reading the analysis report, Wise sighed: "Huh! The sample is still too simple."

"If you don't want to expand the scope of exploration, find a few hot fountains as a starting point, and dig underground aquifers around it, maybe you may not be able to find other lunar creatures." Naoya Kudo suggested.

"Expand the scope of exploration?" Wise scratched his head wrapped in protective clothing.

Wise doesn't have much opinion on expanding the scope of exploration. The only trouble is that the Copernicus base is understaffed at this time.

Kudo Naoya continued: "We can work together in a division of labor. I will continue to study lunar bacteria, and you can find the underground aquifer of the thermal fountain."

"Is that so? That's good." Wise nodded.

While the two were communicating how to adapt to changes, something happened on the other side of the earth.

With the arrival of August in Xinghe 2, the extreme weather on the earth has not decreased, but has become more and more intense.

Floods, typhoons, droughts, and freezes took place in turns around the world, and grief was everywhere for a while.

Under the ravages of extreme weather, many little shrimps were also forced into a desperate situation.

Even if the four major forces successively took action to give loans and aid to these small shrimps in the fringe world, it still did not alleviate the panic of these small shrimps.

However, the sudden thunderstorm of another incident caused a big problem in North America's food all at once.
