Hearing the term "convergent evolution", other biologists also started talking about it. They were originally studying strange algae in the ocean, but they were attracted by this news.
Facing the natives of Dige Star who looked a bit like them, people were shocked at first, but soon started talking more excitedly.
It's really not a big deal if they just look a little bit alike, as long as the genetic material is different...
If... the genetic materials are really the same or similar, these guys will be really crazy!
The universe is always full of mystery and new things, and it is precisely because of these and other new things that it arouses human beings' strong desire to explore.
"...It would be great to be able to analyze genetic material...In only a dozen years, we can even extract complete cells!"
"...What if their genetic material is really similar to ours?" A scientist asked with great imagination.
"It's impossible. Didn't you see they have tails?"
At this moment, many experts in the frigate were clamoring to take the body back to the frigate to analyze the genetic material.
Of course, such exploration is beyond their authority, and they must ask the mothership for instructions.
After this request was sent back to "Titan Z", it was firmly rejected by Security Minister Xu Yunjin. He believed that now is not the time...
As a result, more scientists complained quietly.
During this noisy moment, the "Alpha Security System" on Titan Z suddenly sent out a small level six danger report.
The "Alpha Security System" was developed in recent years, a weak artificial intelligence that monitors the safety around the spacecraft.
In the entire intelligent system, it has very high authority. Many artificial intelligences on the spacecraft have to give in to it when their calculations conflict with it.
At this moment, the "Alpha Security System" discovered that on the planet Dig 114, several unusual light spots appeared in the thick clouds above the ocean.
Of course, these strange light spots are too small and hidden in the thick clouds. It is not clear what they are for the time being... maybe they are just lightning, so they are temporarily classified as a level six danger report.
Normally, there are many Level 6 hazard reports, but their importance is not high.
After all, a planet is so big, there will always be weird things like this.
Maybe, a cloud suddenly changes into the shape of a missile, or some giant creature emerges from the sea... These situations will generate a Level 6 report.
Therefore, there are a large number of such six-level reports, which will not be processed directly by humans, but will be transferred to the upper-level computer for detailed calculations.
The analysis and processing of graphics requires a large amount of calculation and is not as simple as "1+1".
Even a quantum computer cannot calculate all the data on the entire planet, so we can only distribute the calculation amount hierarchically according to this algorithm.
If the system automatically performs risk assessment and no major problems are found, these reports will automatically disappear...
But this time, the "Level 6 Danger Report" did not disappear as usual. Within ten seconds, the danger report quickly increased to Level 5 and was sent to the display screens of the soldiers at the grassroots level, becoming "Secondary Safety Information."
.
At the same time, the computer is also conducting the next step of observation, and multiple satellites are beginning to jointly observe the area...
At this moment, people are immersed in shock, and few people care about this level 5 report. Even a group of soldiers are discussing what they should do if creatures that are the same as humans really appear...
Is there going to be a war, ethnic cleansing, etc.? If they really start a fight because they look similar, wouldn’t they be similar to the original Germans...
Several soldiers saw the danger report on the screen and clicked the mouse, and subconsciously hesitated.
"What's going on? These light spots...the computer analysis may be missiles?"
"It could also be ball lightning, or something else..." Another soldier said. They thought about it and did not immediately notify their superiors.
Because these light spots overlap with the clouds... it is indeed possible that they are lightning.
They thought that maybe it was just a misjudgment by the computer, and they should use multiple satellites to observe carefully for a while to determine the specific unknown. When they thought of Xu Yunjin's anger after the misjudgment, they hesitated...
However, in less than half a minute, the danger level quickly rose to level four.
A level four danger report is enough to initiate a prompt and jump into the message queue. A beeping sound rang from the screen.
These soldiers finally came to their senses and began to analyze the report carefully. Observed from multiple angles of the satellite, these light spots had obviously broken away from the clouds and were approaching the frigate below at high speed!
In an instant, they were scared out of their wits!
One of the soldiers was smart enough to press the emergency safety command in a panic, and at the same time passed the message to the captain's office, and then back to the Deep Space.
But this news no longer needed to be spread, the danger level had quickly risen to level three, and the report was forcibly broadcast on the screen in the captain's room.
The "Alpha Security System" eagerly issued an emergency war alarm. At the same time, this weak artificial intelligence, based on the small amount of military authority it just had, fired one hundred and twenty-seven defensive lasers at the "Dige 114 Star"!
At this moment, the people in the captain's room could only find out about this. Xu Yunjin, the commander-in-chief of this operation, was still reading this "Level 3 Danger Alert"!
Just a satellite image…
Photographed from the side, there are a series of light spots on it, and long clouds and mist are dragged out, like jet planes.
But the parameters above show that some light spots have long since separated from the clouds, moving at more than 25 times the speed of sound, and are about to approach a frigate below!
The nearest one is only 400 kilometers away.
Danger level, level three, highly dangerous!
"What is this? A missile?" The moment he saw these things, Xu Yunjin's heart suddenly jumped!
Among low-level civilizations, only such intercontinental missiles or space rockets can reach such speeds!
You know, the height of the five "Leviathan" frigates from the ground is less than 800 kilometers!
"Fuck!" Xu Yunjin yelled.
In a flash of lightning, before people could even react, the war between the artificial intelligence defense system and the inexplicable enemy had already begun.
After the laser automatically emitted by "Titan Z" enters the atmosphere, all the surrounding air is ionized, forming bright beams of light.
Fortunately, at this altitude, the air is very thin and the laser energy does not decay quickly, so it is enough to intercept intercontinental missiles.
"boom!"
The running speed of the laser is the speed of light, and Mach 30 is nothing compared to it. At this moment, an intercontinental missile was intercepted by the laser and caused a strong explosion.
A bright ball of light suddenly lit up from above the atmosphere of Star Digg, like a bright little star in the universe.
Because of the unconventional explosion, its explosion yield is less than one-tenth of its original size.
"Oh shit!"
Xu Yunjin finally jumped up, tears pierced by the strong light in his eyes.
This damn low-level civilization actually dared to attack them first!
Why?
A series of thoughts suddenly arose in his mind... Could it be that this low-level civilization had been at war with interstellar civilization, so it was so wary?
Or is it because they think that a sudden attack can destroy the human spacecraft?
Or some other reason...
The explosion of a nuclear bomb is less than 400 kilometers away from the nearest spacecraft. It is really dangerous!
He didn't dare to slack off and immediately wanted to organize a counterattack. But his fingers paused on the computer keys for a moment and then moved away.
At this time, we cannot launch nuclear bombs indiscriminately because the enemy has not been found yet.
And... there are five damn frigates down there. If there really is a fight, they have to evacuate first, not get caught in the middle!
The one hundred and twenty-seven interception lasers were obviously not enough. Due to the accuracy, only three were hit, and the others were still flying through the air.
But it was these three exploded nuclear bombs that alerted the five "Leviathan" frigates.
The frigate's sub-security system received a three-level security alarm from "Titan Z" one second before the nuclear explosion. After receiving instructions from its superiors, the computer began to accelerate automatically in an attempt to avoid the incoming intercontinental missile.
At one moment, people were immersed in exploration and couldn't extricate themselves. At the next moment, the spacecraft's intelligent system suddenly accelerated urgently. Everyone was pressed against the wall by the huge pressure, unable to move at all. Some even stood upside down on the wall.
The eyeballs started to become bloodshot.
At the same time, the sub-security system is urging humans, the spacecraft is under attack, to issue orders as soon as possible!
The explosions of these interceptor nuclear bombs were not strong, but the chaotic electromagnetic waves were enough to interfere with satellite signals and communications between spacecraft.
A large number of snowflakes appeared on the screens of the five frigates.
People were confused and had no idea what was going on for a while, but some security alarms kept ringing on the screen.
Even Zhao Yao and other veterans didn't react, thinking that the spacecraft's artificial intelligence suddenly went berserk. This is something that has never happened before...
"Damn!" After two seconds, Zhao Yaocai yelled.
He is a true veteran who has finally overcome the subconscious confusion that occurs when people panic.
His reaction speed was also extremely fast, and he suddenly thought of a possibility: "There is an enemy! Fight back! No! Run away, let's run!"
As he spoke, he directly increased the authority of the "Alfa Security System" and at the same time issued a large number of instructions, asking the artificial intelligence to "evacuate the area as quickly as possible!"
His decision was very wise, because when the "Leviathan" spacecraft really moved at a high speed, a mere Mach 30 missile really couldn't catch up.
Moreover, there is a super combat unit "Titan Z" above. If there is a real fight, their small spaceship should never be caught in the middle.
With the high-speed jetting of the particle engine, Zhao Yao's spaceship began to accelerate away.
But except for this spacecraft that started to escape, the four ships behind it were still doing regular evasive actions.
The young captain inside was a little confused before the sudden war. They began to fire interception lasers in a panic, and even exploded a nuclear bomb in the atmosphere, causing a large amount of electromagnetic wave chaos again.
Xu Yunjin was furious at this behavior because all the instructions he had just issued were blocked.
"Run!"
"Run! What a pig brain! Send your mother a nuclear bomb!"
