Chapter 206 (1/2)
Zhang Yuan pondered over these astronomical data carefully. He saw a circle of yellow and faintly purple things on Gliese 581g. This circle of yellow and purple, widely distributed in the twilight line, seems very neat, not natural.
Because the spacecraft is still seven astronomical units away from the planet, the photo resolution is not high, and I don't know what it is.
”Professor Fan, have you found traces of intelligent life?” Captain Zhao also saw the picture, pondered for a while and asked.
The astronomer immediately replied: ”... No intelligent life has been found yet. The probe we launched is still on the journey. But at present, no regular electromagnetic waves have been found in space. ”
”No man-made satellites and large buildings on the earth's surface have been observed...”
Zhang Yuan asked, ”what are these yellow ones? Such a regular global wonder can't be formed naturally? ”
Professor Fan said: ”these abnormal colors are likely to be a large number of alien plants, but the colors are slightly different from those on earth. Our earth's vast virgin forests are green, and the plants here are yellow and purple... ”
”We suspect that these lives do not need oxygen. They obtain energy through reactions such as sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide. This way of breathing is essentially different from our aerobic breathing.”
Alien life?
Zhang Yuan's heart jumped heavily, and many people sitting around couldn't help whispering.
In particular, some biologists are more excited than the sense of crisis. For them, any extraterrestrial life has a strong reference and guiding significance for issues such as the origin of life.
”These planets have been locked by tides. The side facing away from the star is too cold, and the side facing the star is too hot. The twilight line is neither cold nor hot. It is a very good place to live. ”
”The large life community located at the dusk line can be exposed to eternal light and the temperature is appropriate...”
”The strength of life is incredible.”
”Cough, please be quiet first. In a few days, the satellite will be able to transmit back the first-hand data... But I think...”
The professor said a lot. He meant that according to the current data, the probability of no intelligent life is higher. Even if there is intelligent life, it is likely to be only some aborigines, which is not enough to be afraid.
Anyway, as long as these lives do not have the ability to threaten human beings, there is nothing to worry about.
When mankind has reached a certain stage of development, we must conduct more detailed field visits to the life of this planet.
Zhang Yuan and many people here followed with a slight sigh of relief. Their biggest worry is that there is a strong interstellar civilization in this star region... Even if this probability is very small, once this civilization exists, their ship will undoubtedly become a turtle in a jar.
”It's impossible for civilization to develop into the space age without electromagnetic waves or satellites?”
”Yes.”
Listening to the discussion, Zhang Yuan stood up and said, ”for the sake of caution, we should shield the radio waves of the spacecraft itself as much as possible until more specific information appears.”
The proposal was quickly adopted unanimously.
