Chapter 62 Ming Qi's Research Results

Frank's negotiations with NASA (NASA) did not seem to be so smooth, and was also affected by the intervention of the US government, which was full of political factors.

Nearly a month has passed, and the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) still has not obtained the information they want.

According to Frank, the US government intends to use these information on Mars landing to replace scientific and technologically with the IEA organization, and the specific conditions are still in the negotiation stage.

This level of negotiation is not something that Yuan Shichen needs to consider for the time being, so he will leave it to the top leaders of the IEA organization to burn his mind, so he has to wait for the good news.

However, during this period, Yuan Shichen's research in other aspects has achieved some gains.

Yuan Hashichen checked all the probes that have successfully landed on Mars over the past century. He was surprised to find that a Mars probe had successfully landed around one of the four target areas it had locked on its own.

"The one who successfully landed on the Canglong-1 Mars probe launched by China in 2045." Seeing this, Yuan Shichen couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy in his heart, "I wonder if we can get relevant scientific research materials through the China National Space Administration?"

Yuan Shichen was thinking about how to communicate with the China National Space Administration when suddenly the communicator on his desk rang.

"Hello, this is the special project team of the Institute of Astrophysics, Yuan Shichen."

"Chinese guy, come to Super Laboratory No. 1, Frankenstein has made new discoveries in the Meteorite of the Naichen!" The speaker was Durunik.

"Frankenstein, Dr. Minchi? OK, I'll come over right away."

............

IEA Pacific Base, Science Group Astrophysics Institute, No. 1 Super Laboratory.

"Qingchenjun, I'm very happy to meet again."

"Suzuki Jun..." As soon as Harashiro entered the No. 1 Super Laboratory, he accidentally discovered Suzuki, a Japanese scientist who joined the IEA organization at the same time as him.

"Suzuki, how could you have time to come to the Astrophysics Research Institute today?"

"Qingchenjun, I am now a member of the Institute of Biological and Biochemistry and am assisting Dr. Mingqi's research work during this period."

Haraki didn't continue to say anything, but just nodded at Suzuki, showing a stern expression.

"Chinese guy, you're finally here. Come and see the Frankenstein... No, Dr. Mingqi's research results." Durunik said excitedly.

"A primitive super bacteria similar to a magnetotropic bacteria, there are traces of their activity in the meteorites." Yuan Shichen heard Dr. Mingqi speak for the first time. His voice was sluggish and his speech was slow, and he sounded a strange smell.

"Minqi used a high-voltage current of 100 million volts to shock the meteorite. The molecular structure of magnetite crystals in the meteorite has undergone some subtle changes, so Mr. Mingqi judged the general type of super bacteria. "Suzuki added carefully on the side, "We also discovered biological fossils with morphology similar to bacteria or organic matter such as amino acids, purines, pyrimidines, etc. These fossils are only a few hundred nanometers. Perhaps it is too small, so previous scientists ignored it."

"It's all OK..." Yuan Shichen exclaimed in his heart, not expecting that Dr. Mingqi's strange scientific research methods would work.

"Magnetotaxibacterial bacteria are a type of anaerobic superbacteria that can synthesize magnet (Fe3O4) nanocrystals, so that they can use magnetic fields to arrange themselves. Magnet crystal synthesis is a complex process, and we know very little about it at present." Dr. Mingqi's strange voice sounded again.

"Young man, are you the discoverer of the Meteorite of Shichen?" Dr. Mingqi suddenly looked at Shichen Yuan, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and he looked up and down.

"Yes, Dr. Mingqi." Yuan Shichen was stared at by Dr. Mingqi, and some terrifying events described by Durunik immediately appeared in his mind, and he felt a chill on his back.

"Thank you so much. Your discovery is of great significance to the study of the origin of life. I will participate in this scientific research project throughout the process."

Dr. Mingqi's words surprised Yuan Shichen, but after careful consideration, he could understand Dr. Mingqi's ideas very well.

Just like myself, I am always looking forward to unveiling the mystery of the vast universe.

Dr. Mingqi is an expert in life sciences. The origin of life on earth must be the mystery he is most looking forward to uncovering.

"The origin of life is an unsolved mystery? How did it come about? In the Spring and Autumn Period of China 2,500 years ago, Lao Tzu wrote in the "Tao Te Ching" that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. It means that life on the earth evolves from less to many, slowly. They have a common ancestor, this ancestor is one, and this one is born from heaven and earth. It is described in the current scientific viewpoint, which is formed by the inorganic world... "

Dr. Mingqi was able to skillfully quote my views and talk about them. This surprised Yuan Shichen and also developed a little favor for this Frankenstein.

The origin of life should be traced back to the origins of elements and chemical molecules related to life.

Therefore, the origin process of life should start from the beginning of the formation of the universe, through the so-called "big bang", which produced carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and other main elements that constitute life.

In interstellar evolution, certain biological single molecules, such as amino acids, purines, pyrimidines, etc., may form in interstellar dust or condensed nebula, and then biological polymers such as polypeptides and polynucleotides are produced under certain conditions on the planet's surface.

These biological polymers eventually formed the most primitive biological system on the earth, namely life with primitive cell structures.

However, in terms of the origin of the earliest organic molecules on Earth, there are currently two mainstream views in the scientific community: the theory of cosmic life and the theory of chemical origin.

That is, do the original life or organic matter on the earth originate from the universe or are spontaneously generated after a long period of chemical reactions on the earth.

Since the 20th century, humans have used astrophysical means to detect nearly a hundred organic molecules outside the earth, such as formaldehyde, amino acids, etc.

Two of these celestial bodies may be related to life on Earth, and it is very likely to bring life or organic molecules to the Earth.

One is a comet and the other is a meteorite.

These two types of celestial bodies contain a large number of organic molecules, such as some comets called dirty snowballs. They not only contain solid water, but also organic compounds such as amino acids, iron, ethanol, purines, pyrimidines. Life may be produced on comets and brought to the earth. Or when comets and meteorites hit the earth, these organic molecules will produce new life through a series of synthesis.

Of course, scientists have to solve two fatal problems for this view.

One is that it takes thousands of years to communicate between celestial bodies. Can life move in the universe for a long time? Can it still survive? The second is that it stays in a vacuum for a long time and is exposed to such a large number of cosmic rays. Will the living life continue to sprout in tens of millions of years?

"Dr. Mingqi, I wonder what you think about the origin of life on Earth?" After hearing the above introduction, Yuan Shichen asked Dr. Mingqi with great interest.

"In the universe, the energy that can be generated is much more powerful than that on Earth. It is definitely easier and has a better chance of producing organic matter and primitive life. Of course, it may also be possible to produce other life forms that we cannot know from the earth." Dr. Mingqi said, glaring his eyes widened and staring at Yuan Shichen intently, a powerful aura burst out from him.

"So, Dr. Mingqi is more inclined to the view that life on earth originates from the universe." Even with Yuan Hashichen's current strong mental state, he can clearly feel the oppression from Dr. Mingqi. He finally understood the various complaints of Durunik during this period.

"If you are looking for alien life, remember to call me!" After looking around everyone, Dr. Mingqi did not answer directly, but instead made his own request.
