Chapter 158 205~206 Discovery (please subscribe~~)
Not long after, a signal came from the big screen in the conference room, and everyone was shocked. They came, and then they all focused their attention on it.
The big screen unfolded, and what appeared on the big screen were endless sand dunes. At this time, under the aerial camera, an amazing meteorite impact crater was displayed in front of everyone.
The radiation surface of the impact crater is several kilometers away. Obviously, the impact force of this fragment is very huge.
Looking at the longitude and latitude display next to it, everyone immediately knew the exact location here.
"This coordinate is the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the northern edge of the Taklimakan Desert." Ni Pengcheng said, "It is the No. [-] target we marked."
Fang Cheng nodded, "This position should be correct."
"The desert location has a simple ecological environment. If something is found, the desert environment, search, and sampling work will have a clearer and more precise target."
"Among the seven sample targets we have, if we say which sample has the greatest hope of obtaining discovery, it should belong to this target with the greatest possibility."
"Yes."
"That's right." Everyone in the conference room nodded, "The environment is single, the falling debris is large enough, and it falls on the sand, relatively speaking, it is slightly cushioned. The secondary impact after the impact will be lighter, relatively speaking , if anything is discovered, generally speaking, it is most likely to be preserved here.”
Soon, the camera zoomed in, and the helicopter was quickly approaching the target.
The impact craters transmitted in the image have been shown relatively clearly.
At this time, the staff who followed the helicopter connected to the call signal.
"This is the No. [-] target search team accompanying expert team. I am the team leader Cui Rongsheng." A head in a chemical protective suit appeared in front of the camera, and he couldn't see anything clearly through the protective shield.
"So it's Professor Cui. Hello, Professor Cui."
"Old Cui, what you wear is a bit powerful. I think it should be a level-four protective clothing." Ni Pengcheng showed a trace of surprise in his eyes, then greeted with a smile, and then turned his head to introduce to the people around: "Cui Professor, he can be regarded as a top player in the field of life sciences and microbiology in our country."
"If you leave this trip to someone else, you may not be at ease, but if it is Professor Cui, don't worry. If there is anything abnormal, Professor Cui will definitely be able to find it."
Ni Pengcheng's words gave everyone some insight.
Fang Cheng also nodded slightly.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Cui Rongsheng continued: "Please forgive me for not showing my true face and chatting with you."
"Everyone, don't laugh at us dressed like this..."
"As you all know, this place has just experienced the impact of meteorite fragments from an asteroid."
"As you can see, the shortest radius of this pothole is 420 meters according to the laser ranging display."
"As for the measured depth, you can also see that it is bottomless. The deepest point currently measured by laser ranging is about 840 meters..."
"Just these two numbers, you can feel the power of this impact is very large."
"And this time the cause of the asteroid is unknown, and the source is even more peculiar, coupled with the structure and hierarchical characteristics of the asteroid previously captured in the Broken Star Project."
"We highly suspect that some of these fragments may be carrying something very dangerous."
"But we must come."
"Because there is still more debris entering our atmosphere, if there is a real danger and we don't detect it earlier, the consequences of that will be dire and may not be predictable..."
"To be honest, I don't want to move around wearing this thing. It's too inconvenient."
"But you must wear it. Level [-] protective clothing is the most protective protective clothing in the biological world. It can protect the lives of investigators in the face of terrible viruses and microorganisms above level [-]. Safety."
"But to be honest, even wearing these protective clothing today, we still feel a little bit dangerous."
"All our expedition teams who came to the larger fragments came here with life and death certificates signed."
"After the on-site exploration is completed, all our exploration personnel will be quarantined for a period of three months to one year, and the periphery of the site will be directly blocked into a military restricted area in the next three to five years."
Following Cui Rongsheng's introduction, the expressions on everyone's faces gradually became serious. They thought about the danger of this operation, but they didn't expect it to be so dangerous.
"Professor Cui is right to be careful."
"The origin of the asteroid this time is unknown, and it is very strange. What is even more strange is the special structure, which does not seem natural."
"So, pay attention to safety, it's always right to be careful."
"After all, it's something from space, and level four protective clothing isn't necessarily safe..."
After Fang Cheng finished speaking, everyone's hearts jumped, and their expressions became more serious.
"It shouldn't be so unlucky." Someone whispered.
"If it was an ordinary meteorite attack, it would not be so unlucky. After all, there have been too many meteorites that have fallen on the earth over the years."
"But, this one..." Ni Pengcheng was also confused at this moment, "I hope we are just a false alarm."
The entry of organisms from different continents may cause ecological damage, bring about biological extinction or uncontrolled reproduction, let alone alien visitors...
The risk is unknown, the danger is unknown, everything is unknown, and the source of all terror is the unknown.
While everyone was worried, there was a discovery at the other end of the camera, and an alarm sounded at the other end of the camera.
"Everyone, don't be nervous, the alarm sound now is from the temperature measuring instrument."
"The temperature here is very high at present. There are still hundreds of meters away from the impact target. The temperature here has reached more than 60 degrees."
"It should be the energy dissipation caused by the impact... It has been so long since the impact, and there is still such a big impact. It is conceivable that this impact is fierce."
"Next, we will select several key points in the area near the impact point to conduct air, soil and microbial sampling."
"During this period, we will continue to use drones to enter potholes to conduct on-site photo searches..."
Cui Rongsheng quickly introduced the process of the next action. Everyone thought about it, but the arrangement was very proper.
Scientific investigation is not accomplished overnight. Even a simple calculation and sample processing will take so long, a few hours in a flash.
Those who pay attention here are either big bosses or important personnel in scientific research, so the most indispensable thing is patience.
And with the further improvement of on-site exploration equipment, drones, and remote exploration robots, photos came out one after another, making everyone's hearts beat with fear.
……
As time passed, the progress of the unmanned equipment exploration of the No. [-] target gradually reached the key position.
As for the other points, although the start was a bit slow, at this time, they are also in the progress of unmanned equipment exploration.
It was already dark, but everyone had no intention of leaving the conference room at all. They even ate and watched while eating. The food that was on the verge of their mouths did not enter their mouths at all, but fell on the table without them noticing.
suddenly……
Fang Cheng frowned.
"stop!"
"Camera No. 13! The seventh photo from the right, No. 20, and No. [-]!" Fang Cheng shouted.
The operator on the side immediately extracted these three photos.
Everyone was also surprised. From the beginning until now, Fang Cheng has not spoken compared to other members of the expert group. This is the first time Fang Cheng has spoken.
All the people immediately gathered their eyes, wanting to see the difference between these three photos.
"Hey, these three photos seem to point to the same place, but they were taken from different angles..." Ni Pengcheng was surprised.
"Yes."
"Everyone has seen the problem," Fang Cheng said.
See the problem?
Everyone was startled, and looked carefully at the big screen. The three chapters of photos were placed together. Even though the angles were different, the things displayed were extremely similar. Except for some glazed sand, there seemed to be no difference.
If there is any difference, there are some slight traces, but it is normal to have traces. It is also normal for some secondary geographical phenomena to occur under such an impact.
There are additional traces, which do not explain anything.
But Fang Cheng smiled, "Enlarge the photo."
"These traces look very ordinary, but there are differences between traces."
"Natural ones are different from those caused by the movement of alien organisms."
"Coincidentally, when I was free, I read some trace identification. I'm sure that this kind of trace is definitely not natural!"
"There's something inside!" Fang Cheng judged.
"Is there something?" Ni Pengcheng still had his own thoughts on the previous words, but once the words about something were said, there was no need to think about it, right? Just dig it out and have a look.
Immediately, Ni Pengcheng notified Cui Rongsheng and others through the connection to control the unmanned exploration robot, came to the target location, and started protective excavation according to Fang Cheng's instructions.
The first shovel went down, and everyone's hopes suddenly rose.
"There are holes!"
"There are really holes!"
"The temperature here is currently more than 100 degrees Celsius. It is hard to imagine what kind of organisms can survive in such a temperature."
"So, the creatures living here will definitely not be ordinary creatures... Maybe they are..."
Expectations are full...
From the impact of the asteroid, what can be brought.
Definitely aliens.
"Alien creatures..."
"I didn't expect that the first time I saw alien life, there would be such a huge one. What kind of structure and form of alien life would it be..."
Everyone was getting more and more nervous.
On the other side of the camera, this new discovery was immediately included as a key target, and the shovel dug faster and faster.
At the same time, clearer marks appeared on the ground.
The imprint is somewhat familiar, at least, Cui Rongsheng is familiar with it.
"This footprint is a bit like a scorpion!"
"It's a bit like the local scorpion here!" Cui Rongsheng wondered.
Everyone in the teleconference room also heard Cui Rongsheng's muttering.
"Native? That's unlikely."
"With a high temperature of more than 100 degrees Celsius, no matter how evil the scorpion is, it should be cooked..."
"That's true, but how do you explain these footprints?"
"Maybe left over from before the explosion?"
"It doesn't make sense. Just like this channel, before the impact, it definitely collapsed, and, judging from the traces, it is definitely after the impact..."
Paradoxical...very contradictory...
Everyone insisted on their own opinions, some secretly looked at Fang Cheng, wanting to hear Fang Cheng's thoughts, but Fang Cheng still stared at the big screen tightly.
Although the possibility has been questioned, this is one of the more important discoveries at the current scene, so naturally, it has been given special attention.
Soon, the mining robot was loaded with new plug-in equipment.
Life detection equipment.
What is the truth, just come to a wave of life detection first to know.
Whether it is alien life or native life, as long as it has the characteristics of life, even if the structure and mechanism of composition are different, some things will still be similar.
For example, will it move?Like, maybe a vibration?
For another example, there may be black body radiation and so on.
Life detection is a comprehensive detection field, and the high-end robot integrated in front of you belongs to the high-end leveling machine customized in the laboratory.
Of course, it is also possible that the other party does not have the detection features of the self-contained equipment on the robot, but that is okay, as long as there are doubts, then the detection will continue, even if the most stupid method is used, it will continue.
As the robot stood still, the mechanical arm slowly stretched in, and then quickly began to change, click, click... The mechanical structure changed, revealing a multi-functional detection medium...
"Life detection started..."
"The cunning of alien creatures should be difficult to detect directly..." Someone in the expert team whispered.
As a result, the conversation is not over yet.
Beeps sounded on the other side of the screen.
There was a rapid beeping sound, and green light flashed at the same time.
This is the discovery of the rhythm of life!
At the same time, the software system desktop of the life detection module is shared on the big screen.
"This is an infrared image!"
"But this kind of infrared!"
The infrared on the big screen is completely white, which is very rare.
"This is overexposure..."
"This has already filtered out the background of more than 100 degrees Celsius in the environment, and there is still such a strong signal!"
"Based on preliminary estimates, the core temperature radiated from the body of this creature is at least [-] degrees Celsius!"
"More importantly, the target is alive, this creature is moving!"
"And digging in!"
"There are real creatures!"
"Unbelievable."
"Such a creature is definitely not a creature on Earth!"
"Mr. Fang, you really have a pair of eyes."
"Big guy, speed up, fast, fast, fast!" Cui Rongsheng shouted in surprise on the other end of the communication, "Catch it, you must catch it!"
Cui Rongsheng was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. As a top biologist, of course he knew that this was not only a major discovery in the academic field, but also meant that if the next discovery was true, he would become the first in history. As a witness to the discovery of alien life, how can this not make him excited.
This is destined to be famous in history. After ordering the excavation to speed up, Cui Rongsheng quickly forced himself to calm down, and then told the other teams: "From now on, carefully search the walls of the pit, and if you find something similar, notify me immediately..."
"understand……"
After finishing the order, Cui Rongsheng paid close attention to the target hole again, and at the same time looked at the target creature that was still positioned in real time. In the infrared image, against the black background, the white outline was so dazzling.
What exactly exists in this white outline?
Everyone is looking forward to, but also worried...
