Chapter 1035: Nobel Prize: How to get Professor Xu to receive the award?
It has to be said that Xu Chuan's speculation about these Martian microorganisms is indeed quite surprising.
If these microbial bacteria that infect the four astronauts did not evolve naturally, then there are too many things hidden behind this speculation.
Who created these microorganisms that can make the host ‘evolve’? Is there a prehistoric advanced intelligent biological civilization on Mars?
If it exists, where are the civilizations now? Have they been destroyed or left the solar system?
In addition, what will this Martian microorganism transform its host and what are their uses?
Is it to adapt to the space environment and alien planets, or to adapt to the changing Mars environment?
Judging from their current exploration data on Mars, Mars was likely to be an environment as suitable for life evolution and survival as the Earth.
Not only is there a vast ocean, but also a thick atmosphere and magnetic field protecting the entire planet.
Life in human understanding is undoubtedly extremely suitable for evolution and survival in this environment.
And as time goes by, perhaps in that distant past, such advanced intelligent civilizations similar to humans were born on Mars.
However, with the changes in Mars' geology, the magnetic field and atmosphere disappeared, and they also disappeared.
As for whether it has perished or left the solar system, no one knows this.
But theoretically, the Martian microorganisms that still exist on Mars today may be created by these "Mars civilizations" through gene editing engineering.
The purpose is either to adapt to the changed Martian environment or to the alien environment, both of which may be.
Of course, at present, the fact that the Martian microbial bacteria that infect the four astronauts is artificially manufactured is just a guess.
It can even be said that this speculation is quite 'extraordinary'.
Although they have discovered microorganisms on Mars, the evidence supporting the existence of higher intelligent organisms on Mars is still almost gone.
In contrast, these Martian microorganisms have evolved step by step into what they are now more scientific as the environment on Mars deteriorates.
Of course, this speculation about Martian microorganisms is not completely worthless.
Isn’t it the true meaning of science to make bold speculation from a phenomenon reasonably and then carefully verify it?
Although it is indeed quite difficult to accept that these Martian microorganisms may be artificially manufactured, and the probability of occurrence is very small.
But theoretically speaking, even the smallest probability may occur.
At least until the origin of these Martian microorganisms is fully confirmed, Xu Chuan will not give up on research and investigation of his speculation.
Of course, he could not disclose this speculative information to the public before finding enough evidence to prove that these Martian microorganisms were indeed from artificial.
After all, with his current status in the academic world, any remarks will be carefully or even "over-interpreted".
Once the news of the existence of advanced life on Mars that is comparable to human wisdom is made public, it will inevitably cause considerable turmoil in society.
.........
At the end of August, when Xu Chuan was studying these Martian microorganisms that infected astronauts.
On the other side of Eurasia, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
In the physics branch located in a corner of the institute building, several members of the selection committee sat in an office again to discuss the issue of this year's Nobel Prize results selection.
Although it has been determined who the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to this year, what has troubled several selection committee members was which result should be chosen.
This kind of sad and distressing meeting is indeed exhausting.
There is no way, that person has created so many achievements over the past few years.
The five selection committees were in a quarrel like the first time they presented him with awards.
Two of them believe that this year's Nobel Prize in Physics is the theory of strong electricity, after all, this theory creates the future of the entire theoretical physics community.
But this argument was quickly refuted by another professor in the theoretical field.
If the unified theory of strong electricity creates the future of the entire theoretical physics community, then the discovery of inert neutrinos, that is, Ct particles, opens a door to the dark matter world.
Compared with the unified theory of strong electricity, the dark matter field is a whole new world, a new continent, and more important.
George Smut, who comes from Swedish University and is also a professor at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, believes that the mechanism of room temperature superconducting materials and room temperature superconducting materials is more important.
It is not only the important impact of room temperature superconducting materials on human development, but also because this year is the material physics year of the Nowu Prize.
The last award for the Materials Physics Year can be traced back to two-dimensional professors Andrei Heim and Konstantin Novosholov, who conducted groundbreaking experiments on two-dimensional graphene materials in 2010.
In the next ten years, the awards deserved in the field of material physics were taken away by astrophysics or theoretical physics.
This made Professor George Smut, who has always supported material physics, very unwilling to give up a medal for this year's material physics.
If it was in previous years, after determining who the Nobel Prize was awarded, there would undoubtedly be no quarrel.
But this year, in order to present the same person, the School of Physics was almost split into several factions, which is the first time since the establishment of the Nobel Prize for the Creation of the World.
Sitting at the top, Professor Anders Ilbak, the chairman of the selection committee, looked at several colleagues who were still quarreling in the conference room with a headache, his face full of sadness.
In fact, it has been confirmed to present the award to Professor Xu.
But in addition to worrying about how to choose the results of the Physics Award, he is also worried about how to get Professor Xu to receive the award.
After all, judging from the other party’s whereabouts and attitudes from China in recent years, the other party has gone abroad for a handful of times.
Or in other words, it is actually only once in a few years, that is, in 2022, going to St. Petersburg, Tsarist Russia to attend the International Conference of Mathematicians.
Apart from this accident, Professor Xu never went abroad again.
Although we can understand the actions and choices of China and the other party, after all, those who want to kill him in this world are probably enough to circle the entire earth.
But for them, how to invite the other party to receive the award is probably no more relaxed than quarrels about which result to choose this year's Nobel Prize.
Moreover, in addition to presenting him with awards this year, it is also difficult to choose the Nobel Prize for the next few years.
After all, the achievements of that person are really enough to monopolize the Nobel Prize in Physics for N years.
In addition, he is so young, Anders Ilbach has no doubt that the other party can continue to make super results that are worthy of the Nobel Prize.
But he really wants to monopolize the Noble Prize for the next N years...
emmm...
Anders suddenly thought of a solution.
As he thought, his eyes lit up, he clapped his hands vigorously, and subconsciously said, "That's it!"
In the conference room, several selection committee members who were chattering and arguing about the results of the Physics Award were subconsciously stunned and looked over at each other.
"What are you doing?"
.........
In early September, after more than a month of lonely deep space navigation, the Hanhai space shuttle, carrying a large number of Mars' specialties, and two first-generation aircraft, finally arrived in the lunar orbit.
Experts from all countries who have been waiting for the Yuehuatai Qianshao Scientific Research Station Base for a long time have entered the research state.
Due to the fact that this fleet that landed on fire carried a large number of various ‘special products’ from Mars, such as soil, rock, air, water and ice resources, the three space shuttles were temporarily staying in the moon orbit.
Including Tang Shengjie and Gui Haichao, who have not yet shown any infection symptoms, are left on another generation of space shuttles, both of which are temporarily arranged in an independent lunar base.
Before they were fully confirmed that the two were not infected with Martian microbial bacteria, or before scientific and medical personnel found a suppression to solve the infection problem, they were both prohibited from returning to the earth to prevent pollution of the earth's ecosystem.
The only ones who were banned from returning to Earth were not just the six astronauts of the manned fire project and the spacecraft equipped with Mars specialties.
At the original international consultation meeting, Xu Chuan mandatoryly passed a key regulation, namely:
'All researchers who went to the moon to conduct research on microbial bacteria on Mars and medical experts who treated four infected people, once they started researching on microbial bacteria on Mars, no solution was found, or they were conducted for more than 25 days.
No return to Earth before a safety isolation inspection.'
This regulation is to ensure that the Earth's ecosystem will not be infected when studying these microorganisms from Mars.
Not only people, but also some equipment that has been exposed to Martian soil or water ice resources are strictly sent back to Earth before martial law is lifted.
All researchers and objects are in a state of incoming and not leaving.
Only scientific research data can be transmitted back to the earth through satellites.
After seeing the powerful infection ability of these Martian microorganisms, Xu Chuan did not dare to relax at all about these Martian microorganisms.
Unless these Martian microbial bacteria can infect people on Earth along electromagnetic communication, it is impossible for these Martian lives to come to Earth under such harsh conditions.
......
It has to be said that based on the ability to detect and study these Martian microorganisms through a variety of different devices, and the ability to use various living animals such as mice, rabbits, and rhesus monkeys to conduct experiments.
The progress of research on these Martian microorganisms is a huge miles a day.
Soon, the first batch of scientific research and analysis data were transmitted back to the earth through relay satellites.
Xiashu Space Base, a meeting on Martian microorganisms was held again in a not-so-large conference room.
Looking through the research materials sent back from the Yuexianshi Scientific Research Station Base, Xu Chuan's eyes were filled with a thoughtful look.
With the support of various scientific research equipment, the researchers involved in the research immediately figured out the shape of the Martian bacteria that infected the four astronauts and what the compiled products were.
Judging from the imaging of Phenom Fenna high-resolution biological imaging electron microscope, the specific shape of this Martian microorganism looks like a centipede trunk covered with fluffy, looking furry, like animal hair.
But in fact, these tiny fluffs are glass-like ceramic structures composed of silicon-carbon compounds.
Including films covering the surface of this microorganism, which is temporarily named ‘Class A Mars bacteria’, is also silicon-carbon compounds of this glass-like ceramic.
What everyone expects is that the core of this microorganism is a carbon-based RNA structure similar to a virus.
Researchers on the moon speculate that this is also the main reason why it can infect humans.
In other words, in a way, Class A Martian bacteria and diatoms on Earth can be considered close relatives.
Of course, if you want to be morphologically, it is more like a virus on Earth.
The outer bread is wrapped in a layer of protein subunits (silicon carbon compounds) arranged regularly, and this layer is called the "capsid" of the virus.
The substance wrapped in the "capsid" is its genetic material, which can be continuously replicated and evolved in the organism after infecting the organism.
But compared with viruses on Earth, this Martian microorganism is more complex.
Viruses are mainly composed of genetic material and proteins, and are a form of substance between life and non-life. Moreover, viruses do not have a complete cellular structure and can only rely on parasitization in other people or animals to maintain their lives.
But this type of Martian bacteria has a complete cellular structure and can survive by engulfing two other smaller Martian microorganisms and bacteria found with it.
Compared with viruses on Earth, its life form is obviously more advanced.
At the same time, the results of research on Liu Yang's mutational body structure have also come out.
The structures that replaced her nails, skin, hair and other body tissues have a high similarity to the shell of this type of Mars bacteria.
However, compared with the shell of Class A Martian bacteria composed simply of materials such as carbon, silicon, and oxygen, the shell that replaces Liu Yang's body structure is more like a silicon protein structure that has undergone another complex evolution.
Judging from the current preliminary test results, this body structure has a series of characteristics such as cold resistance, heat resistance and radiation resistance.
It can maintain activity at least minus forty degrees Celsius and below 70 degrees Celsius, and can reproduce with nutrients.
That’s right, it’s the ‘mitosis’ of normal cells in the human body to create offspring!
It is like having a baby, and when a silicone protein cell matures, it can give birth to the next generation.
