In the deep starry sky, the Star Questioner flew silently toward the distant entrance of the ye-2023 wormhole.
In the past few days, its faint navigation lights could still be seen with ordinary telescopes on the ground, but now, the distance between the earth and it has exceeded 20 million kilometers.
Qie Wenxing is still accelerating, and eventually it will reach ten times the speed of the third universe, and will keep running at this speed for two months, and finally enter the deceleration stage.
Whether in theory or practice, the Questioner Star has become the farthest manned spacecraft from the earth so far.
After the excitement of the first few days, everyone on the spacecraft realized this - because they saw with their own eyes that the earth changed from a big balloon to a basketball, to a volleyball, to a shot put, and finally to glass.
Bead size.
As a result, the crew members began to lose their excitement and devoted themselves to their work.
It stands to reason that being on the Qixingxing is the same experience as being on the moon base, on the Yaoyue, in the space city orbit and other outer space scientific research centers. But in fact... as you move away from the earth, this experience is
It's so different.
Can the experience be the same if you can see your home or not?
Therefore, in order to allow them to adapt and take over the scientific research tools and remote equipment that have arrived at Blue Star in advance, and also to keep them in a positive state, those remote control permissions that they usually have to queue up and apply for on Earth are almost impossible for them.
It is open without restrictions, and all the data they want is available, regardless of country, and everyone is treated equally.
Of course, this does not mean that these first group of human pioneers who crossed the wormhole are regarded as cows and horses - they still have enough rest time and completely unrestricted rights to communicate with the earth.
In addition to regular operations such as posting on social media and communicating remotely with family and friends, they can even team up with players on Earth to play games on the Star.
And all of this is naturally to keep everyone in a good attitude.
…
The fourth floor of Question Star, the conference room of the Biological Research Center.
Mo Gu is presiding over today's summary meeting.
"There has been no significant progress in deciphering the text, and we cannot wait forever. Before, we could still use names like rat-like, dinosaur-like, tiger-like, etc. to make excuses. Now we are about to start investigating the entire Blue Star.
A comprehensive survey of the ecosystem must be named with a formal academic name."
"According to the requirements of the Global Bioscience Conference, we will code-name the creatures of Blue Star according to the following rules - there is no need to remember this, Aita will display it on the display device in time. In the future, we will master the text of Blue Star
and the naming rules they left behind, and then do translation and integration.”
"Well, you can take a look at these rules. Basically, they are based on comparing the creatures on earth, and then they are marked with the blue star's mark cl and the initials of the discoverer."
"As for the fusion and hybridization of organisms, the same rules should be followed."
Mo Gu flipped through the documents as he spoke, and looked at the forty-odd good people present with a smile: "Next, we will use white mice to remotely conduct reproductive hybridization experiments with rodent-like creatures. Guys from the experimental animal team, your opportunity has come.
Already."
After hearing her words, everyone laughed together.
Now using gene sequencing, it has been confirmed that the genes of a certain mouse-like mammal and mice are very similar. Since then, many people have begun to feel itchy - no matter how similar the genes and skills are, it does not mean there is a problem. It is best to
It's sexual reproduction.
If there was no reproductive isolation, it would be a huge profit!
Of course, everyone knows in their hearts that this is basically a dream.
The main reason why they want to start this project is...
Too many guinea pigs!
The first detector brought not many mice, but under the careful care of Mo Gu and the others, this batch of mice grew rapidly, and the second batch brought enough experimental animals...
As a result... there are signs of an overrun of various experimental animals in the current detectors and Xunxing 8 unmanned base.
Instead of suppressing it through humane destruction, it is better to do some experiments first. After all, you can't let go...
You must know that whether it is a detector, or the Xunxing 8, or this time the Qinxingxing, they have all undergone strict sterile treatment to prevent the bacteria from the earth from invading Canglan as much as possible.
Starry.
Of course, when everyone goes there this time, they will also build a biological laboratory and designate an observation area to observe the impact of the earth's microorganisms on the Blue Star.
After Mo Gu announced a few more messages and assigned tasks for tomorrow, she announced the end of the meeting.
The cabin layout of the Wenxing is the same as that of the Yaoyue. Comfort is taken into consideration in the design. Moreover, because of the increase in the size of the Wenxing, if you don’t think about it deliberately, you won’t realize it.
It is a spaceship that is moving away from the earth.
But as the chief scientist of the Questioning Star...
Mo Gu must always remind himself.
"Academician Mo, please come first."
In front of the elevator, a biologist from the UK politely invited her to get in the elevator.
"It's okay, you guys sit down, I'm going to have a look at the breeding base downstairs." Mo Gu smiled and waved his hand, then said hello to a few familiar colleagues and walked to the stairs aside.
The third floor is a large indoor three-dimensional farm. At this time, many seedlings have sprouted and are growing vigorously under the sun lamp. These plants include lettuce, radish, lettuce, and beet. Well... there are no food crops.
After all... No matter how big the star is, the space is still limited. It’s better to grow food than to bring it.
Mo Gu stayed in the farm for about an hour, then walked along the passage to another gangway, then went down the gangway and came to the main control room.
Captain Zheng Guoqiang and several heads of the spacecraft control department have been waiting for a long time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mo Gu smiled and greeted everyone, then controlled his seat back to the conference table by remote control, and she also sat on it.
It has been five days since the launch, and they have to hold shipping meetings every "night" and arrange night watch leaders.
"Is it my turn today?" Mo Gu looked at everyone with a smile.
Captain Zheng Guoqiang nodded: "If you have special circumstances, we can postpone it."
"No." Mo Gu immediately shook his head: "It would be too much to turn on a small stove for me."
"It's not too much, the main reason is that you are too busy." Captain Zheng Guoqiang said with a smile, and then looked at the others: "We say we are in charge of the spacecraft, but in fact we can do very little, unlike you... you say you are in charge of the spacecraft.
no?"
The others nodded.
This is indeed true. If we count it by generation, although Wenxing was born out of Yaoyue, in terms of the control system, it is actually a third-generation spacecraft.
】
And even the first-generation Yaoyue, in a sense, can be controlled by Aita, let alone the second-generation Xiantian unmanned transport ship.
Now Qixing's third-generation control system can only be more advanced.
The leaders on the spacecraft, such as the captain, heads of circuits, engines, armed forces and other departments, really don’t have much to do.
In comparison, Mo Gu, who is also responsible for scientific research, is too busy.
"Haha, how can you not be busy until you arrive at Canglan Star?" Mo Gu blinked - she knew that after arriving at Canglan Star, the busiest people would be these non-full-time scientific researchers. By then Zheng Jian
I might have to move the bricks myself.
"Hahaha, okay then." Captain Zheng just mentioned it casually, then coughed slightly and started today's regular meeting.
The content of regular meetings, in addition to reporting on the departments they are responsible for and the status of the spacecraft, also includes psychological status - this is even the most important.
But now... of course everything is normal.
…
"Then we will withdraw first." Captain Zheng Guoqiang stood up first: "Thank you for your hard work, Academician Mo."
"No, no." Mo Gu smiled and said goodbye to everyone. After sending everyone out of the command cabin, she closed the door, then walked to the main control center and called out Aita.
"Aita, activate the watch system."
"The watch system has been activated. Hello, Mogu."
"Hello, Aita, help me call Xiaobai over and bring me a blanket."
"OK."
After Mo Gu finished his instructions, he tapped the chair twice, and then the chair automatically lowered itself and turned into resting mode.
She lay on the chair, adjusted the angle again, and then continued to order: "Which episode of No Man's Sky have I seen?"
"Episode 8 of Season 3, do you need to start streaming the show?"
"Well, come on."
"OK."
As Aita's voice fell, a curtain of light began to cast in the air directly in front of her chair.
No Man's Sky is a space exploration science fiction drama launched two years ago. It is extremely popular and follows the so-called "Invincible Style" in terms of plot - one look at the tone and you can tell that it is a domestic production.
At present, when it comes to thinking about space exploration, in film and television works, foreign and domestic ones present two completely different styles. Foreign ones focus more on the exploration of human nature, thinking about environmental protection, and awe of extraterrestrial civilizations.
etc.
But in China, due to the widespread circulation of Ye Ming's sentence "I think the civilization level of the earth is higher than that of the Blue Star", the style of domestic science fiction works is particularly grand, and they often push the universe flatly, and all nations surrender... to the point that,
Some people jokingly call him the "invincible flow" and say he has no depth of thought.
But Mo Gu doesn't care. No matter how deep it is, it's still much better than being wiped out by an alien civilization with a mining truck.
At this time, the cabin door opened, and her machine butler Xiaobai entered the control center with a blanket. Mo Gu covered herself with a blanket and looked at the time again - according to earth time, it was already 10 p.m.
"Xiaobai, make me a cup of coffee."
"OK."
Holding the coffee, Mo Gu took a sip and began to concentrate on watching the drama. But less than ten minutes had passed when the watch on her hand began to buzz and vibrate.
She glanced at it and then sat up.
"Ye Ming."
"Sister, are you disturbing your rest?" Ye Ming's image appeared in the air, seeming to be looking down at her.
"No, I'm on duty tonight and won't go to bed until three o'clock."
"Oh, that's hard work."
In the picture, Ye Ming should be in the office. Mo Gu smiled slightly when he saw this: "Aren't you still in the office? Where is Xiao Qi?"
"She's at home. Well...sister, I have something to talk to you about. Are you...the only one around you now?"
Mo Gu was slightly startled, but she just hummed, then took out her glasses and earphones from her pocket and put them on: "I'm the only one, but I just used the control center to project the screen, and now I use the glasses and earphones.
Just say it."
"Well..." In the screen, Ye Ming was silent for a few seconds, and then said softly: "That's it, sister. How are the results of the sirt8 gene experiment on the mice...?"
Mo Gu was startled again, his eyebrows furrowed inadvertently: "You know the results, it does seem to be effective so far."
——The sub-family testing of the sirtuins gene has always been conducted in secret. Currently, the authority level of the information is extremely high, but Ye Ming must know about it.
In the past two or three months, Mo Gu followed Ye Ming's instructions and began to conduct experiments on injecting sirt8 gene protein into mice. The results were observed by Mo Gu personally.
"Well, I know... I mainly want to ask, do you think this gene can effectively extend human lifespan?"
After saying this, Ye Ming closed his mouth and waited quietly for Mo Gu's answer.
Mo Gu opened his mouth and frowned deeply.
After she was silent for a few seconds, she said softly: "Why are you so anxious?"
"It's not that I'm in a hurry."
"Then who is anxious? Are you unable to withstand power or something?"
"No, it's money." Ye Ming closed his eyes and took a long breath.
"We are short of money and urgently need to fight local tycoons."
Mo Gu: "..."
…
Ye Ming hung up the call and glared at Director Niu sitting opposite.
Director Niu also shrugged at him.
But in the end, both of them let out a long sigh of relief.
"Rich people are willing to be guinea pigs. I think there is nothing better than this." Director Niu looked at Ye Ming and joked with a smile.
"If you say so... I think it's acceptable." Ye Ming sighed again: "Fortunately, it seems that the cost of making this protein into a biological preparation should not be high."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"But... no matter what, after it is determined to be safe and effective, it must be free and benefit everyone." Ye Ming stared at Director Niu and said with a very serious expression: "Old Niu, this can't be done at all.
leeway."
"Don't worry, this is the premise." Director Niu nodded heavily.
He came here this time... and talked to Ye Ming for several days.
In addition to having certain expectations, more importantly, it is necessary to make Ye Ming realize one thing.
That is, of course the country will support him as always. But... even the country has moments when it cannot do what it wants.
Due to the country's dictatorship in the field of space exploration, too much capital and wealth have been isolated from those great projects.
