As we descended, everyone became more and more numb. The ice was like a tomb, with too many lives frozen inside. However, what I have seen for the time being is a very primitive state, like jellyfish - not even basic brain tissue, only a simple structure.
Two hours later, everyone finally landed on the ground. As it was determined that there was little danger, the subsequent descent speed increased considerably.
After landing at the bottom, everyone exclaimed, this place is simply a crystal palace, and the hazy light brings a different kind of brilliance here. Among the broken ice surfaces are creatures frozen in ice. It can be said that almost 90% of the ice here is the remains of those strange creatures; but 99% of these life forms are water!
All life forms are in an extremely primitive state. But you can understand it if you think about it. After all, there is very little energy here, just enough heat to melt the ice water. There is no light and the thick ice layer also blocks various rays and radiation in the universe.
Research based on existing data shows that the reason why the earth has such a colorful world today is not only the distance from the sun and various resources in the universe, but also the ability to enjoy appropriate cosmic rays. These rays are also very suitable. After being filtered by the atmosphere, the remaining rays are just enough to promote the evolution of life.
The birth of life on earth, especially the birth of intelligent life, is a miracle that is difficult to replicate. Of course, with the increase in the discovery of extraterrestrial life, everyone also has a feeling: the huge universe should be filled with intelligent life! It's just that the universe is too big. Therefore, everyone communicates very little with each other - at least, the current people on earth have not discovered extraterrestrial intelligent life - even an ant that has just had a brain tissue!
After a simple detection, everyone found that the ice under their feet is very solid, with a thickness of more than 10 kilometers - but it is rapidly freezing and thickening. In addition, there are no detectable and obviously dangerous cracks here; in other words, It's safe here. In addition, the place where we chose to land is relatively spacious, with a width of 2.2 kilometers and a length of 3 kilometers, and the surrounding area is relatively smooth.
The subsequent transportation of materials was relatively fast. Along the rope, a large amount of materials fell rapidly, and when approaching the ground, the atmospheric pressure increased and the gravity was relatively low. Invisibly forming a balance. Leading to the final drop of supplies. The speed was actually very low, only a dozen meters per second. With a little effort, you can land safely.
The tents are propped up piece by piece, using advanced nano-level materials. It’s not just about ensuring thermal insulation. It also ensures safety. Ten tents of uniform size. Allowing hundreds of people to move in easily. A large selection of vitamins (including food), instrument setup, and more. was put into it and debugged.
Time passed quickly, when Li Canglan and his group finished their busy work. It's time to change shifts. Next, the person in charge of Gaoshou Company is Lin Fengyun. The young man at the beginning has become a more important core member of Gaoshou Company.
On the spaceship, just after returning to space, Li Canglan ignored the rest and found Tang Yunfu, who was also extremely excited. Once, Tang Yunfu was just one of the students who followed National Life Sciences Professor Qiao Ping. Now, more than ten years later, he has taken the lead and become an important scientist in the field of space life and microbial research.
"Come in!" Tang Yunfu's voice showed special excitement.
"Professor Tang, excuse me." Li Canglan said without any embarrassment. Now, the students, assistants, and colleagues around Tang Yunfu are also in a state of excitement.
"It's okay, sit down. In a moment, Xiang Yun, professor of physical analysis, and Wang Quan, professor of chemical molecular analysis, will also come. Let's discuss it together." Tang Yunfu didn't even raise his head. The waxy life seemed to have infinite attraction.
"Okay." Of course Li Canglan did not sit down honestly - in fact, in space, it doesn't matter whether he sits or not, it is just a habit to maintain life. In fact, it was uncomfortable to sit down - I was curled up in a panic; standing casually, it felt like I was lying down - this was comfortable. Don't forget, this is space, there is no gravity.
Step on... The shoes with the magnets kept moving, and Li Canglan "naughty" came to the top of the experimental equipment, looking upside down at the experimental device "overhead"; he was head-to-head with Tang Yunfu who was studying.
Soon, Xiang Yun and Wang Quan, who were also rising stars, walked in. Both of them were top students who graduated from the expert company Starry Sky University. Not only did they have cultivation skills, but they also had professional knowledge that was beyond the reach of ordinary scientists; but now they are just Appearing to be in his mid-twenties.
"Lao Tang, what is it that makes you so excited that you can't even speak clearly?" Xiang Yun was relatively cheerful. Maybe it's because of physics. After all, the field of physics, especially the microscopic field, is very active. If nothing else, the speed of electrons in the nucleus is about 1137 times the speed of light, and even higher. But chemical reactions require patience.
"I discovered protoplasm! That kind of protoplasm that only exists in theory!" Tang Yunfu slowly spat out three words when he saw everyone gathered.
"Protoplasm!" Professor Wang Quan, a professor of chemical and molecular analysis, was so surprised that his eyes were waiting for him.
"Protoplasm?" Li Canglan and physicist Xiang Yun stared at each other. Is this a magical thing? "Let me explain it roughly. If you have any questions, please ask later." Tang Yunfu took a deep breath and calmed himself down as much as possible. "There are two explanations for the so-called protoplasm. But the one that everyone generally knows is Generally refers to all the material assemblies inside cells. However, in the most cutting-edge research field of life, protoplasm has another explanation, an explanation that ordinary people cannot imagine - that is, the original and original substance that constitutes life.
However, this original substance is not a simple chemical molecule such as organic matter, a simple physical ion, etc.; it is a substance that has a living state but does not have a living structure. This substance is called a transition between non-living matter and life, an extremely important transition.
As we all know, the essence of life is those molecules and atoms that seem to have no relationship. But there are different opinions on how these things constitute life step by step. However, what everyone generally agrees on is that there is such a substance, which is an important transition between life and non-life.
That's it! Tang Yunfu pointed to the slowly moving matter in the sealed glass jar, "It is this kind of thing, which can simply use energy, maintain the orderly movement of matter, and then express the basic life state."
This discovery will definitely shock the entire world of life and will play an important role in the study of life in the world, especially the origin of life, and the study of living and non-living substances.
However, the above is only useful for research. The biggest function of this protoplasm is longevity!
The first is their own immortality: because there is no cell structure, there is no decay and so on that life has, so in theory, this kind of thing is immortal. As long as there is energy and necessary materials, growth can continue. However, because the structure is loose, it will naturally disintegrate when it grows to a certain extent, and then reproduce in this way. The energy it requires is mainly heat; the materials it requires are mainly basic amino acids, organic molecules, a small amount of inorganic salts, etc.
In addition, because it is protoplasm, theoretically, if humans eat this material reasonably for a long time, they can also achieve immortality. Of course, this is just theory. The theory explained is: since life evolved from this protoplasm, then by supplementing this protoplasm, it can continuously achieve metabolism and other purposes and maintain the prosperity of living organisms. Although the origin of human beings has not yet been effectively explained, the structure of the human body is still very similar to that of most living things on earth.
This explanation may be a little unclear. If we make a metaphor, life on earth now is like steel buildings, but these buildings will continue to rust and suffer from structural fatigue. Now, these protoplasms are like a kind of strange iron ions. They can penetrate directly into the steel, replacing the rusty parts and strengthening the fatigued parts. In this way, a kind of repair is achieved.
Coupled with the metabolic function of the human body or living body, theoretically by supplementing this protoplasm, the body can be maintained strong regardless of renewal. Then, the goal of immortality can finally be achieved. Of course, I emphasize again that this is just one existing theory, one of many longevity research theories! Perhaps, this kind of thing is just an ordinary collagen food for humans and does not have magical effects. The specific details will depend on subsequent research. "(To be continued...)
