The camera has repeatedly confirmed that this should indeed be a slow-moving microorganism. And as the heat pump dives, some water hidden in the ice crevices is gradually discovered. Generally speaking, the mineral salt content in this water is relatively high.
After the heat pump is lifted up, place it directly into a transparent plastic cover.
Everyone gathered around, everyone was surprised!
life! Yes, even if it has not been finalized, everyone can still be sure that this is life! Although, it looks like it should be microorganisms.
On the warm heat pump, there is a layer of light gray substance attached, but these substances are indeed changing slowly. It's not like the water film retreating under gravity, but spreading upward and around. The speed is very slow, but everyone has electronic instruments to monitor it.
"Take samples and observe! Wait for me for a while and take out the microscope and other things." Gong Chuanwei was as excited as a child. He discovered extraterrestrial microorganisms and was the first to inspect them. What an honor it is!
Gong Chuanwei did not dare to do all the sampling work by others; microorganisms are dangerous, especially these extraterrestrial microorganisms, which are the first time everyone comes into contact, and we cannot even be sure of the harm to humans. Perhaps, they really may invade the human body, causing all kinds of tragedies in science fiction movies.
After passing through the layers of isolation, Gong Chuanwei picked a few "things" into the film. This is an optical microscope with relatively simple technology, but it is sufficient for simple observation; an optical microscope developed through high-tech means is enough to see the general situation of cells clearly.
"Oh my god, this thing really has a cellular structure. It's just that the structure is a little strange!" Before Gong Chuanwei could finish speaking, he was thrown aside by others, and everyone lined up to observe.
"I protest! You are disrespecting scientific research." Gong Chuanwei, who was thrown out mid-sentence, roared angrily at the team members.
"Just wait a moment. Captain Liu Haibo said that honor belongs to everyone. So let's wait a moment!"
"I'll take a look too, I'll take a look too, I won't get sick if I take a look!"
"Squeeze, squeeze..."
"Don't jump in line, go in line..."
“You won’t get pregnant if you squeeze it!”
"Oh my God!" Looking at the chaotic scene, Gong Chuanwei could only look up to the sky and shout. Ever since we got off the spacecraft, everyone seemed to be very excited and tended to get together when something happened.
Although the scene was chaotic, it calmed down quickly. After everyone took a look and understood the cell structure, they were no longer interested. To non-professionals, this thing is just a novelty - after one glance, the novelty wears off.
But Gong Chuanwei's research is not over. Instead, he began to use the rigid anti-corrosion plastic he carried to make specimens - and they were unique.
After the special pump dived to 5,000 meters, a liquid ocean inside the planet was finally detected.
"The temperature is minus 3 degrees Celsius, the salinity is 0.2%, and a large number of biological groups are found! Oh my god, there is a complete microbial tribe here! The largest one has a multi-celled complex organism of 0.1 mm!
Most of these organisms are fungi, a small amount of bacteria, and a very small number of multicellular life. This is a world that is slowly evolving. ”
The discovery here caused a sensation in the entire master company. When the information was sent back, even Zhang Jingyuan was alarmed. The discovery here means that the universe is full of life, and humans and the earth can only be said to be extremely lucky. Moreover, it is very likely that water is the source of life in the universe, and other liquids may not be able to support the evolution of life.
However, this news was firmly blocked by the master company. When someone asked Gaoshou Company about its space exploration situation, Gaoshou Company had only one reply: There are no major discoveries yet. It’s not that I don’t want to announce it. First of all, this discovery cost the master company too much money; but more importantly, once it is announced, we must consider whether it will cause panic to society!
Extraterrestrial life, even microorganisms, are two completely different concepts! In particular, this is only the location of the generally recognized non-habitable zone in the solar system! Traditionally, everyone believed that this was a cold, frozen planet.
However, after investigation, it was found that this world is actually very stable. It has not suffered a major impact in more than four billion years, and it is safer than the earth. Over the years, relying on the ice caps, the energy of sunlight has been continuously accumulated, and through billions of years of evolution, it has evolved into an alternative small world.
For such matters, Gaoshou Company directly used the superstring communication device to inform Liu Haibo to bring back as many medical specimens as possible while ensuring safety.
At the same time, Zhang Jingyuan personally ordered the master company to establish a biological research department. But for a while, I really couldn't find any personnel, because the master company has been busy with the development of machinery and is really powerless in biological aspects. But it doesn’t matter, the master company has money!
In one sentence: Achieve technological leaps through mergers and acquisitions!
To this end, Yang Peng became busy again. However, today's master company is different from the past. When Yang Peng revealed the news, it was really the clouds that responded. Several microbial research institutions even said that they could merge with other teams.
And thoughtful people are already wondering, why does Gaoshou Company suddenly want to establish a life research department? The bolder ones are already thinking that the master company must have discovered extraterrestrial life!
You really don’t need too many smart people. If one person guesses it, there will be ten or a hundred people...
When Yang Peng summoned representatives from these research laboratories, everyone was asking this question. By the way, in recent years, in the life sciences field, except for those supported by top countries, the rest have gone bankrupt every year; life has not been easy either.
The topic returns to space: It is said that since the discovery of the underground ocean, the exploration of Ceres has been almost completed. 30% of the entire mass of Ceres is water, of which liquid water accounts for about 10%. The water here accounts for about 1.1% of all water resources on the earth, which is huge. When he saw this data, Liu Haibo smiled with satisfaction. Zhang Jingyuan's plan is too big, but with this good start, he will have enough confidence in the future.
The exploration that was expected to last ten days actually took about 20 days due to the unexpected discovery of extraterrestrial life. Over the past few days, the detailed information about Ceres has basically been collected. Only Liu Haibo, before leaving, glanced at Ceres with regret, poor baby, your life will not last long, you are being targeted by the master company, and from now on, the countdown has begun.
Ceres is the only asteroid in the asteroid belt that contains sufficient water.
"Everyone, are you ready? Count the number of people around you and see if there are any shortages! Also, count your belongings. We are about to enter the next goal: detecting Mars!" Liu Haibo was high-spirited.
"Okay!"
Everyone's voice was loud. Especially the actresses, this time they actually found a lot of gems on it. In fact, the stones are similar all over the world, but these gems have a greater symbolic meaning. All gemstones are sterilized by radiation to prevent the survival of microorganisms. It is still not possible to prove the impact of these microorganisms on humans. Of course, some special gems are still found, but they are forcibly taken away by the expert company; of course, certain compensation will be given to the discoverer.
"Now that we're ready, let's go!" Everyone stepped onto the space shuttle one after another, preparing to leave the extraterrestrial research base where they had lived for at least half a month.
