Chapter 209, Bureau of Cosmic Affairs
When Chinese scientists conducted scientific investigations on Mars, they discovered the existence of extraterrestrial life deep in the ice layer of the south pole of Mars. Although it was only some microorganisms, this was one of the most important discoveries since this century. Life exists widely in planets and worlds other than the earth. Scientists boldly predict that aliens definitely exist, and the earth is definitely not the only planet of life in the universe.

The news of the discovery of extraterrestrial life on Mars was quickly transmitted to the earth. China's official media reported the matter in detail, and Liu Yi also submitted an analysis and research report of the news to the China Academy of Sciences.

The microbiome of Mars has multiplied for hundreds of millions of years, because under the thick Martian Antarctic ice cap, it can be said to be very stable. It has hardly undergone any major changes for a long time, and the number of microbial populations is very large.

Relying on the heat and minerals erupted from Martian volcanoes to survive, a prosperous microcosm has grown under the ice cap at the South Pole of Mars. However, in places like Mars, microorganisms can survive, but if they want to evolve more complex life, they must There is no possibility.

The history of mankind's exploration of the universe and the origin of life has taken another big step forward. Recently, Chinese scientists discovered liquid water under the ice layer of the South Pole of Mars during a scientific investigation on the "Ocean" spacecraft. A huge group of microorganisms was found in the water. These microorganisms indicate the existence of extraterrestrial life, and also mean that the earth and human beings are definitely not alone in the universe. This is the most important discovery of this century.

Foreign news media also gave a lot of praise for this, but the Chinese people can still clearly see a sour taste in their words.

In the past, major scientific progress or major scientific and technological discoveries on the earth were basically made by Europeans and Americans. It can be seen from the various units named after Europeans and Americans, such as Hull, Hertz, Joule, etc. A lot, the most basic and important discoveries in the fields of physics, biology, and chemistry, such as the theory of biological evolution, Newton's laws, relativity, and the periodic table of elements, are also made by Europeans and Americans. After all, they are the origin of modern science.

But now, with the discovery of extraterrestrial life, landing on Mars, space technology, biotechnology and many other fields, Europeans and Americans find that they have gradually fallen behind. This time the major discovery of extraterrestrial life makes Europeans and Americans feel that the focus of technology It seems that it is slowly transferring to Huaxia, and the technological development of the new era is led by Huaxia.

"In the field of science and technology that we were proud of in the past, we had too many, too many scientific terms named after ourselves, but now, I don't know why, we have gradually fallen behind Huaxia too much, maybe we will find out in the future There are more and more scientific terms named after Chinese people, this has to be said to be a kind of sadness!"

The western media has made in-depth reflections on this, because Huaxia has sprung up in the field of science and technology in recent years. From the new field of biotechnology virus led by Li Fu to the field of virtual technology technology, and then to the field of space technology, Huaxia has gradually taken the lead in Europe and the United States.

Although Chinese people never like to use their own names to name things, otherwise, if they learn from Europeans and Americans, they can come up with a lot. For example, the field of biotechnology that Li Fu first discovered can be called Li's field, Li's Law, Li Fu virus and so on.

Of course, the discovery of extraterrestrial life has no impact on the lives of ordinary people on the earth. At most, everyone knows that there is life in unexpected places on the earth. Maybe aliens will visit the earth in the future.

But for the countries of the world, this impact is very huge. The presence or absence of extraterrestrial life is absolutely two different things, which is enough for the countries of the world to pay great attention to.

Extraterrestrial life has been found on Mars. We must know that Mars should belong to a desolate, cold, and lifeless world in the past. Such a planet with harsh conditions can have extraterrestrial life. .

So in the universe, if there are some planets with better conditions than Mars, does it mean that there will be aliens and alien civilizations? Earth people and earth civilizations are definitely not unique.

How should the earth deal with aliens and alien civilizations? All very thought-provoking.

Other countries don’t know, but on Huaxia’s side, when Tang Yunshan received the news, soon Huaxia’s official side established an organization, the Bureau of Cosmic Affairs, to specialize in the study of extraterrestrial life, and at the same time formulate corresponding policies against aliens and extraterrestrials. Civilization-related policies and so on.

China is different today. It is now the most powerful country on earth and the most powerful country in the space field. It stands to reason that once encountering alien civilizations, China should be the first to contact alien civilizations. All aspects need to be prepared in advance.

The Cosmic Affairs Bureau currently has two main tasks. The first is to search for alien civilizations. The existence of extraterrestrial life can basically determine that there must be aliens and alien civilizations in the universe, but I don’t know if it is the earth. This place is too remote, or the universe is too vast, and it is too difficult to contact each other, so until now, the earth has not yet formally contacted alien civilizations.

Of course, there is another possibility. Maybe the earth’s technological level is too low. Even if there are alien civilizations visiting the earth, people on earth still don’t know about it. This kind of inference makes people shudder, because backward technology means being beaten , people on earth must never put their own destiny in the hands of others.

In addition to searching for extraterrestrial life and alien civilizations, another job of the Bureau of Space Affairs is to study how to communicate with alien civilizations, how to defend the earth and the solar system when encountering powerful satellite civilizations, and how to deal with weak alien civilizations. Should we learn from the Europeans to come to an interstellar colonization in the interstellar era.

These things seem to be very far away from us. After all, only some microorganisms have been discovered on Mars, but Tang Yunshan knows that anything that is forewarned will be established, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned. If so, it will definitely be too late.

The other is that the speed of technological development is too high. A few years ago, people were still looking up at the moon and imagining Chang'e on the moon. But only a few years later, we have become accustomed to traveling on the moon.

We are still imagining the void of the universe, imagining the appearance of aliens and alien civilizations, maybe in a few years, we can really go out of the solar system, enter the interstellar universe, and see countless alien civilizations, all of which are possible of.

So once the person in charge of Huaxia's space field, now Huaxia No. 100, Tang Yunshan has a very far-sighted vision. He is already laying the foundation for the future. He doesn't want to see Huaxia appear embarrassed when dealing with alien civilizations in the future. Revisit the history of humiliation more than [-] years ago.

The establishment of the Cosmic Affairs Bureau does not seem to have much effect now, but this is also Huaxia's preparation for entering the era of interstellar space in the future. To implement it, Huaxia must have a strong space military force.

Only in this way can we have enough power to ensure our own interests in the ever-changing cosmic waves in the future. Even if alien civilizations really want to invade the solar system and the earth, they will be able to have the power to counteract it instead of nothing. The power of resistance.

……

Here in the outer space of Mars in the solar system, the No. 1 and No. 2 spacecraft have successfully returned to the "Ocean" spacecraft from Mars. The two spacecraft have traveled back and forth to Mars many times and collected a large number of Martian samples. These samples are of great help to scientists' comprehensive understanding of Mars.

The scientific expedition to Mars can basically be declared over, and the harvest is huge. We know exactly the amount of water resources stored on Mars, and we also know that Mars is actually a very barren planet, and its mineral resources are not even as good as the moon.

However, scientists have now determined that Mars is indeed suitable for transformation into a living planet and a new home suitable for human habitation, because although Mars is poor in resources, it has a lot of water and carbon dioxide. Water is the source of life. Everything else is easy to say.

Of course, the most important achievement is the discovery of the existence of extraterrestrial life under the ice layer at the South Pole of Mars, which proves that the earth and people on earth are definitely not unique existences in the universe. There are aliens and extraterrestrial civilizations. On this point, scientists on the earth have now reached a consensus.

"It's time to leave, the next target is Ceres in the asteroid belt."

Chen Bin came to Li Fu's side lightly, and stayed on Mars for more than a month. He conducted detailed research on Mars in all aspects and obtained a large amount of first-hand information about Mars, which is crucial for future transformation. Mars, understanding the origin and development of the solar system, etc. all play a very important role.

"It's time to go, let's go."

Li Fu nodded and ordered gently. At this time, his teacher Liu Yi is still tirelessly studying the microbiome on Mars. Liu Shiying has been very busy recently. He was recruited by the Bureau of Space Affairs, and every day Participate in various meetings through virtual machines to discuss how to deal with aliens and alien civilizations and build space battleships in the future.

The "Ocean" spacecraft protrudes a long white and dazzling tail flame. It revolves around Mars continuously, and its speed is getting faster and faster. By making full use of the gravity of Mars, the spacecraft can save a lot of energy.

After dozens of laps, the "Ocean" spacecraft de-orbited and flew towards the outer reaches of the solar system to continue its scientific investigation. This time, its destination was Ceres in the asteroid belt.

The orbit of Mars is very close to the asteroid belt. The "Ocean" spacecraft flew from Mars to the asteroid belt in just over a month. Of course, the scope of the asteroid belt is very wide, and the spacecraft only entered the asteroid belt. Within the range, asteroids can be gradually discovered in the void. There is no doubt that scientists will not let go of the asteroids encountered on the road.

The "Ocean" spacecraft is now the largest spacecraft and the most advanced spacecraft. Capturing asteroids is not difficult for the "Ocean" spacecraft at all.

As soon as the captured asteroid was transported back to the huge "Ocean" spacecraft, the scientists, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately dissected and tested the asteroid in various ways.

The radioactive substances in soil and rocks can tell scientists its age; the composition of soil and rocks can infer the reason and time of its formation; the structure of elemental substances and the substances formed can infer its life experience...

"This is an asteroid with an age of only 32 billion years. It should have been a part of a massive planet. It was smashed out by some kind of big impact. It seems that in the early days of the solar system, astronomers inferred, this There should really be a massive planet in the asteroid belt, but it was smashed into pieces for unknown reasons!"

Scientists infer from the captured asteroids that there should be massive planets before the asteroid belt, but they were smashed into pieces by unknown reasons and became the current asteroid ring.

The power of science is so great that it is possible to infer what happened billions of years ago just based on some things. The asteroids in the asteroid belt play a very important role in the study of the formation and development of the solar system. This is why this scientific expedition The reason for the investigation of the asteroid belt.

One is to evaluate and count the resources of the asteroid belt, and the other is to study the formation and development history of the solar system through the study of meteorites and asteroids in the asteroid belt.

The asteroid that has been dismantled into eight pieces was sent into the furnace by the scientists. This asteroid containing a lot of metal is a precious metal resource. It walks along the way and sprinkles satellites, probes, etc., and the resources consumed are not high. A small amount, just enough that these metal resources can be replenished, and there is still a large amount of metal left to be stored.

"Continue to capture asteroids, it is best to find some special asteroids, and everyone will have a gift after returning to Earth!" The scientists shouted.

Fly all the way, capture different types of asteroids and meteorites, conduct research on these asteroids and meteorites, constantly evaluate the distribution of resources in the asteroid belt, and study the history of the solar system. Compared with these asteroids in the asteroid belt Earth and Mars make it easier for scientists to study the history and evolution of the solar system.

PS: There are too many activities of visiting relatives and friends in the past few days. After the busy days, I will start to pay off the debt.
