On the official websites of the Xinghai Research Institute and the China Space Administration, an article published on the latest research progress of Mars exploration has attracted the attention of many fans and industry personnel who are always paying attention to the manned mission project.
Life was discovered on Mars and there are microorganisms!
As soon as this article was published, it immediately aroused the attention and discussion of many people. Soon, this news attracted widespread attention from the international community almost overnight.
From all national governments, to scientific research institutions in various countries, to ordinary people, almost all of them have turned their attention to it.
Is there life on Mars?
Humanity discovered the existence of extraterrestrial life for the first time?
A series of news and reports were thrust into everyone's eyes and brains in an almost violent manner, making people surprised, surprised, excited, excited...but also worried and doubtful.
People's impression of Mars has always been that it is a desolate, lonely, extremely cold and dry planet. There is no magnetic field to protect the planet, no water resources, and no atmosphere to protect life.
In addition to being unsuitable for life, there is an unimaginable storm blowing on Mars every year. The wind speed is indescribable. For a quarter of the year, the sky is shrouded in wild sand.
among.
Perhaps there may have been an ocean on Mars in ancient times billions of years ago, but now it is just a barren land.
However, now China's manned mission has discovered microorganisms on Mars. This situation has undoubtedly subverted people's understanding of this planet.
Mars, not only is it not as desolate as imagined, there is even life there to this day.
This has undoubtedly aroused everyone's interest, and online discussions have already occupied the top searches on almost all social platforms.
For example, on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook in the United States, as soon as this article was posted on the official websites of the Xinghai Research Institute and the China Space Administration, someone reprinted it, translated it into English, and posted it on their own accounts.
, and caused a discussion and sensation like a magnitude 10 earthquake.
[Incredible! Life still exists on Mars?!]
[If this is true, maybe there might have been life on Mars that was more advanced than microorganisms and bacteria a long time ago, such as animals and plants, or even highly intelligent life like humans!]
[Perhaps life on earth today originated from Mars. This is not impossible. 】
[Perhaps Martians really existed in ancient times. Haven't huge pyramids and traces of human faces been found on Mars before? 】
[If there is life on Mars, it might be bad. If life is born so easily, then why is the universe so dead? Perhaps these extraterrestrial civilizations quickly perished or regressed after developing into the industrial age, or maybe it was the dark forest.
Law? In short, no matter which aspect you speculate on, the discovery of life on Mars is not a good thing for mankind.】
[Is there a possibility that those Chinese people faked it? They did not find real life on Mars, but just found traces of possible existence, or something like microbial fossils on the moon? Maybe that is not
It’s not life, it’s just something accidentally formed by nature.]
[If other countries, or even other Chinese aerospace organizations, announced this, I would think that this might be forged data from the P picture or a deliberate way to attract attention. But it was Xu who disclosed this discovery.
Xinghai Research Institute led by Professor Chuan, have you ever seen him have this academic possibility? 】
[I’m very curious, what does life on Mars look like? Is it carbon-based life? Or silicon-based life? 】
Hot discussions can be found on social media such as Twitter and Facebook, in many professional forums in the fields of astronomy, biology, aerospace and other fields, as well as in real-life scientific research institutions and universities. Related discussions can be seen almost everywhere.
Even scholars who are not in the professional field, even experts, professors and students in subjects such as mathematics and physics, have turned their attention to it.
Combined with the fact that the scientific community has always believed that the ecological environment of Mars more than a billion years ago was more superior than that of the Earth, as well as the reports about Mars exploration, Martians, and extraterrestrial intelligent civilizations that were flooded in the media in the early years.
Many people think that if life still exists on Mars, then there might have been intelligent creatures like humans on Mars in ancient times.
It is even possible that the people on Earth today may be Martians who came to Earth after discovering that Mars was gradually withering and decaying and could not be saved.
There are not many people who hold this view. After all, many things left over from ancient times on earth cannot be explained to this day.
For example, a 250-million-year-old fossil found in the UK looks like an integrated circuit chip.
Or maybe in the 19th century, scientists from the former Soviet Union discovered a very special stone in the Kaluga region of the Eastern European plains. This stone had a rusty screw embedded in the middle.
The scale of this screw is on the micron level, and it is an ultra-fine screw that was only able to be produced after the development of human industry in the 19th century.
In addition, there are also 2 billion-year-old nuclear reactors - the Oklo Nuclear Reactor and so on.
There are so many unsolved mysteries left over from ancient times. In many cases, not only ordinary people, but also professional scientists have suspected that there has been a highly intelligent civilization on the earth more than once.
Now, the discovery of microbial life on Mars has undoubtedly given these speculations a shot in the arm and provided more possibilities for speculation.
The heated discussion naturally attracted the attention of many media.
For media workers who chase hot topics to attract traffic and attract attention, there is no topic that attracts more attention than life on Mars.
For this reason, the New York Times media reporters quickly found the ‘Extraterrestrial Life Detection Center’ under NASA.
This agency also has a famous name, called "Alien Hunters". It is an alien life search team established by NASA. Its members include scientists from 10 top universities in the United States. The person in charge is NASA AI.
Professor Tori Heller, a chemist and biologist at the James Research Center.
Although today's NASA space agency can no longer catch up with China's Xinghai Research Institute in aerospace technology.
But it is undeniable that NASA is still the largest space agency in the world.
Of course, what we are talking about here is organizational structure, theoretical research, etc.
In these aspects, China does still have some gaps that will take time to build.
After getting permission, the New York Times reporter directed the photographer beside her to focus the camera on Professor Tori Heller, and then asked a question.
"Hello, Professor Heller, have you heard about the latest discoveries of China's manned spaceflight project? As a top biologist, how did you see that there is life on Mars?"
Facing this reporter's question, Professor Tori Heller pondered for a while before speaking.
"If this is true, it will be a great discovery that will go down in history."
"For the first time, humans have discovered living life outside the earth. This is extremely significant from both a scientific and philosophical perspective. It declares to us that the universe is not desolate, and the earth is not the only planet with life. It is vast and vast.
There is a great possibility that there are human travelers in the universe."
"This will greatly promote our exploration of the universe and research on extraterrestrial life."
"Moreover, it will greatly refresh our understanding of the existence of life. After all, the forms of microorganisms and life on Mars will definitely be very different from those on Earth."
As soon as he finished speaking, the reporter from the New York Times quickly asked: "What if? Do you think there may be a problem with China's discovery?"
"For example, there are still many people on the Internet discussing that the microorganisms on Mars may be fake to attract attention."
Tori Heller shrugged and said, "I didn't say that. Although this possibility does exist, from China's perspective, they don't have to do such a thing."
"Especially since this manned mission was organized by Professor Xu. With his academic reputation, it is even more impossible for him to do such a fake thing to attract attention."
"Obviously, I am more willing to believe that those Chinese people really discovered something on Mars, but the specific situation still needs to wait for them to disclose more detailed data."
After a slight pause, he looked at the camera worriedly and continued:
"Moreover, in my opinion, instead of worrying about whether the discovery of life on Mars is fake, it is better to worry about the damage and harm that life on Mars may have on the earth's ecosystem and human beings."
Keenly capturing the key information revealed in Professor Tory Heller's words, the New York Times reporter quickly asked.
"You mean, microorganisms on Mars may cause great danger to humans and the earth? Even death or infectious diseases?"
Professor Tory Heller pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with some concern: "Although I don't want to spoil the fun, theoretically it is not impossible."
"After all, this is life from outside the earth. We know nothing about its life form, cell structure, activity method, whether it is harmful to the earth, etc."
"Of course, there is another possibility. These microorganisms on Mars are not harmful to the earth or humans."
"But in any case, I suggest that China should be more cautious about these life forms from Mars. At least it is best not to bring them back to the earth before it is clear whether they are harmful to humans or the earth."
After the interview, the relevant content was quickly reported by the New York Times.
For the media that needs traffic, there is no doubt that the focus of the entire interview is that life on Mars may cause great harm to the earth's ecological environment and human beings.
Even the title is like this: "Beware! Microorganisms from Mars may destroy the Earth's ecosystem or humanity!"
When this interview was released and forwarded to Internet social platforms by followers, it quickly aroused widespread attention and discussion among netizens.
It has to be said that although the New York Times exaggerated Professor Tory Heller's concerns about Martian microorganisms, it reported the relevant interviews in an eye-catching way.
But Professor Heller’s views or concerns are not unreasonable.
After he publicly expressed his concerns about the harm that Martian microorganisms may bring to the earth's ecosystem and humans, many biologists and astronomers and other professional scholars in various fields have come forward and expressed that they should pay more attention and be more cautious.
Treat life on Mars.
The discussions and heated debates triggered by this were directly targeted by some people with ulterior motives.
Soon, whether in the United States, the European Union, or some other "free" Western countries, the microorganisms on Mars were shaped by "public opinion" into a "virus" that was about to destroy the earth and mankind.
Marches and protests took place one after another, directly occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., and also occupied the intersection of First Avenue and East 42nd Street on the east side of Manhattan in New York City.
Many ignorant or led people with ulterior motives are constantly protesting, demanding an immediate stop to manned missions to Mars, a stop to research on Martian microorganisms, and even a stop to the development of aerospace technology, in order to avoid extinction and crisis for the earth and mankind.
.
Of course, in addition to these calls, there are also some calls that seem to be relatively more 'rational'.
For example, international environmental organizations have come out to publicly express their stance, demanding that China fully disclose the situation of Martian microorganisms and allow other countries to participate in and monitor related progress, etc.
Just as everyone was focusing on the microorganisms on Mars and arguing about it, another earth-shattering news in the aerospace field shocked the world.
In the United States, the then president signed the new aerospace bill of 2025, announcing the abolition of a series of aerospace provisions signed more than a decade ago, such as the Wolf Clause and the New Competition Act.
At the same time, Capitol Hill announced that it will fully liberalize export controls in the aerospace field and cooperate in various fields such as national defense and space.
In the following time, NASA quickly followed Baiwu's footsteps and announced that they had reached multiple cooperation with the Chinese Space Administration and the Xiashu Space Base to jointly develop space resources such as the moon and Mars.
And in the future, at least 5 billion meters of scientific research funds and related aerospace technologies will be invested to cooperate with the Chinese Space Administration to research alien immigration and other related space development technologies.
When the news became public, the whole world was shocked.
No one expected that the United States, which has always advocated competition in the aerospace field, would choose to admit defeat to its opponents?
And it also invests massive funds and aerospace technology to help its opponents develop alien immigration and space development technology?
