Chapter 718: Creatures that recently received extraterrestrial intelligence
The brightly lit main control room was as noisy as a vegetable market, with endless discussions about aliens.
The public, who saw a live alien "live broadcast" for the first time, could not hide their excitement and started a big carnival.
The "live" footage they saw was actually delayed.
Starting from the contact between the stars and Apollo in space, whether the spacecraft enters the barrier or aliens appear, this is the message conveyed to the public by Lanmeng after confirming that the situation is stable.
But the people who are hiding underground and watching the live broadcast don’t know, or even if they know, they don’t care.
Are alien ships real? Aliens are alive, right?
The harmonious scene of Cen Fangyuan shaking hands with aliens was featured on the top of the official media. Anyone with access to the Internet can see this historic moment immediately.
The subsequent scenes were not continued to be broadcast live, but were edited into news clips for broadcast. The aliens were directly silenced through Cen Fangyuan’s translation. After all, there were too many unconfirmed and confidential news that were not suitable for widespread dissemination. Everyone Just know that the outcome is good.
But no matter what, the aliens are really coming!
No matter how good the science fiction movie is, it can't compare to the real scene before you. The alien giant octopus and the Orchid Star people walk hand in hand on the red carpet. How harmonious and beautiful...
No matter men, women, old or young, the joyful emotions are beyond words and spontaneous. The land began to celebrate, and Lanxing became a sea of noise.
This is the first time since the Gro War that such strong and joyful emotions have appeared. Even during the New Year, so many people have never been so happy before.
Although some people are cautious and even have conspiracy theories, this does not affect the fact that the first close contact was peaceful and friendly.
Countless posts about aliens and spaceships have become popular online, and the hot search lists are all alien-related content.
Among them, a post titled "Octopus - the creature closest to extraterrestrial intelligence" received an astonishing number of views and was quickly ranked first.
That was an animal science popularization video a long time ago. It lasted ten minutes and was mainly about popular science about octopus, an uncommon aquatic mollusk.
In addition to describing its basic characteristics, there are also special skills such as camouflage, regeneration of severed limbs, and compression and deformation of the body.
The Lanxing Octopus has three hearts and eight tentacles. The tentacles are covered with neurons that collect various pheromones and feed them back to the main brain.
Maybe because the whole body is covered with brains, octopuses are extremely smart. It was once used to predict football matches, and the accuracy was unexpectedly high.
And its mouth is hidden just below its head, where the tentacles gather. It is the only hard part of its body. No matter how small the space is, as long as its mouth can pass through, the huge body will pass smoothly in a way that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The blood of octopuses is blue because it is rich in copper, which allows them to move more efficiently in cold environments lacking oxygen.
Then he also specifically mentioned the map of animal evolution.
It is roughly explained that the cervical vertebrae of mammals all have seven segments. Although other parts have different shapes, the number of bones is almost the same...
Various studies have shown that despite species differences, mammals Animals have the same ancestors. Gene technology also proves this point very well.
Biologists have systematically studied and concluded that similar genetic structures lead to the same brain thinking patterns of similar mammals.
The body structures of octopuses, snails, butterflies, flies, shrimps, crabs, etc. are very different from mammals, or even have nothing to do with them. They are like two completely different branches in the evolution process. .
From the genetic origin, it is speculated that it should have evolved in different directions from the flatworm period, but from the perspective of neuron structure, it looks like a type of life that was airdropped by aliens on Lanxing and emerged from the sky. body.
Mammalian neurons are all concentrated in the brain, while only one-third of octopus neurons are in the brain, and the rest are distributed in the tentacles.
And for the same volume, octopuses have more than twice as many neurons as cats, which are known for their agility.
They can walk and think at the same time. During walking, everything the tentacles touch and smell directly enters the brain. Even if the tentacles are detached from the body, the detached parts can still sense surrounding light and camouflage themselves.
Its eight tentacles are like eight mini brains, constantly processing various information without affecting the main brain...
People who have always only known about squid and squid rings Shocked.
I didn’t expect the ingredients on the table to be so good. Thinking about the huge size of aliens, many netizens have raised their sense of worry, saying anything.
“I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it. It turns out that scientists have predicted it for us a long time ago, but it’s a pity that we didn’t pay attention.”
"Isn't it because the octopus failed to rule humans because it is too small? If it were bigger, it would probably dominate Lanxing. Don't forget that Lanxing has a large ocean area."
"Such a big octopus has many people. How clever! If they have bad intentions, we can't defeat them, right? One hand and one brain can't be worth more than a dozen people."
"What do they eat? Do you want to eat fish? You don’t want to eat people? ""There is still a boat in the sky. I guess the Lanxing people may not have enough brains if they have bad intentions. Let's get over it as soon as possible."
"The octopus people and the Lanxing octopus don't have the same ancestor, right? Or did the Lanxing octopus branch off from them, and they came to Lanxing to trace their origins?"
"We will not give in if we have to lie down on our own upstairs. Grobu was coming with a lot of force back then, but now Mao can't even see it."
"What about traceability? The news said it was a friendly visit."
"Speaking of which, those bugs in Gro are really ugly. In comparison...the aliens are all weird."
"We have not been afraid of the menace of Gro. Now that people are visiting us, you are afraid of birds and are timid."
"The aliens in our imagination are all based on themselves. , so they are all human-shaped, with some filters. Maybe human aliens still think we are ugly.”
"The bugs from Gro were not in the mammal branch before, right? I seem to have thought of something terrible..."
"Don't push me upstairs. When I fight Gro, you don't hide like that. Underground, it sounds like you went up to fight. "
"What are you afraid of? We are all here with mechas. No matter how smart the octopus is, it is just a mollusk, so there is nothing to be afraid of. "
......
Soon, the topic shifted to a group of mechas.
Especially seeing that Xingchen and Apollo were always by Octopus Man's side, everyone felt confident that even if there was a fight, their own Mecha Man would definitely have the upper hand.
Even if the octopus changes...
Later, the topic has changed to: Can such a big octopus be eaten...
Fortunately, Lan Meng did not let them know. The octopus man is a matter of the spiritual body, otherwise the public mood would not be so optimistic now.
Lin Fan didn’t know about the excitement on the Internet.
Ji Yu analyzed a lot for her. Although they were all guesses, they could at least make her mentally prepared. However, Lan Meng did not give the order, so they continued following the friendly visit procedure.
I hope the other person is good, but I am worried that they are pretending and have other agendas.
Lin Fan knew that this idea was quite contradictory, but in his heart he felt that their purpose was not as simple as they said.
Ji Yu did not stand and chat all the time. After talking for a while, he went on inspection.
Lin Fan stared at the spaceship when he was alone, thinking about what Ji Yu said, and felt a little confused. She couldn't explain exactly what she was thinking, but it was so densely packed in her mind that it made her feel uneasy.
It was quiet at night, but footsteps suddenly sounded behind me.
This area is under martial law. Except for the mecha men patrolling outside, no one is allowed to go out at all. How could anyone come here?
Xingchen turned his head.
Three figures slowly emerged from the darkness and entered the light.
The leader was in good spirits, with neatly curly hair smeared with hair oil and lipsticked lips.
Surprisingly, it was Mi Jiao, whom she hadn't seen for a few days.
I saw this octopus accidentally while watching a video yesterday. There is indeed this popular science, but I don’t know the content in it. It’s just a coincidence.
I set up the octopus alien for other reasons. I didn’t expect that it could regenerate, change color, and other things that could fit into my previous plot. Hey, it’s unexpected, so this chapter is dedicated to popularizing science.
Insects and molluscs do not belong to the same evolutionary line as mammals.
At the beginning, Gro wrote that Chongzi didn’t know this, it was just a coincidence, but it turned out to be quite good, hahaha.
