Chapter 133 Deduction of Life on Mars
For an entry, description is very important. Only by accurately and specifically describing the target object can the detail of the entry be improved and the difficulty of completing the entry be reduced.

This description does not have to be a text description, and photos are usually more important because they contain more information.

This is why He Xiao was very surprised by the discovery of a life-like body on Mars. If a life-like system is created out of thin air, it can only be vague, and the description is not specific and precise. The degree of detail is a big problem, or It can only be completely fictional, and it is not impossible, but the difficulty will be very high, and it is impossible to complete a task of this level at this stage.

Now that a real life-like body has been discovered, even if it is only a very low-level life-like body, it is of great significance to him.

Theoretically, he can use this kind of life-like body as the basis to deduce and create a whole set of life-like system.

He Xiao named this life-like microorganism Martian protobacteria, and began to conduct further research, testing and analysis on it, not entirely by the Duke [-] Mars rover. In fact, the detection equipment on these Mars rovers is relatively backward and cannot Too many tests for Martian protozoa...

In a short time, it is impossible to bring the samples back to the Blue Star Laboratory.

However, He Xiao has a way to judge its characteristics through the method of entry test. Now that it has been discovered, its attributes have a preliminary definition, and it has its microscope photos, so its characteristics can still be compared accurately measured.

First, he measured the "lifespan" of the original bacteria on Mars.

But, again, what is the definition of "lifespan"?
On the blue star, it usually refers to the life cycle of a living body. When this living body "death", its "lifespan" will end.

But what is the definition of "death"?On the blue star, generally speaking, the loss of life characteristics is called "death", but for Martian protobacteria, as long as the environment changes drastically, it may lose life characteristics. Of course, when they become a pile of sand or a piece of sawdust , does it count as "death"?

And whether this kind of dormant time counts as its lifespan, the language on the blue star has never stipulated it.

The conventional language and characters on the blue star may not be universal in the universe.

So the test is a bit cumbersome. He Xiao has to avoid using some words that may not be accurate, such as the word "span". He replaced it with "the period from birth to when an individual loses life-like characteristics and is completely irreversible"...

And after this determination, the time limit of the original bacteria on Mars is about 8000 years!
This year refers to the year of the blue star, not the year of Mars.

According to the understanding of the Blue Stars, its lifespan is about 8000 years...

This result surprised He Xiao a little, because if the secret of its longevity can be researched, then it is very possible to modify human genes, or use other methods to allow humans to obtain such a long life span!
It is very possible that the problem of longevity will be solved soon!
He Xiao continued to use the entries to test the original bacteria of Mars, and soon made a surprising discovery that there were 28 kinds of amino acids in its body!

You know, there are only 22 kinds of amino acids at most on the blue star!That is to say, there are at least six kinds of amino acids that do not exist in the blue star life forms in this small Martian protobacterium!

As we all know, amino acids are important components of protein, and having more amino acids means having more possibilities. Perhaps it is the function of some of them that makes it have such a magical function as dehydration, or because The role of certain amino acids gives it a "lifespan" of 8000 years.

It seems that these amino acids should be well studied.

Next, he tested that the original Martian bacteria should be hermaphroditic according to the blue star creature, and it can reproduce by itself. The way it reproduces is also very different from the blue star creature. It does not seem to have DNA or RNA also does not have a nucleus-like structure, but is inherited through a hard "skin".

This hard "skin" seems to be its main body. After dehydration, other components can be damaged. Only this hard "skin" has always maintained its original properties. Perhaps it is its super stability that has been able to have 8000 years life span...

He Xiao also tested its suspected photosynthesis. It can indeed use sunlight for photosynthesis, but it can absorb much more wavelength bands than blue star creatures. Not only can it absorb all visible light, it can even absorb light. Absorbs infrared light, which is why they can photosynthesize at night.

He also tested that there used to be some organisms similar to or even higher than the original Martian fungus on Mars, but now only one kind of creature is left, the original Martian fungus, and the other creatures are all extinct.

While He Xiao was concentrating on his research, another urgent report from the Duke VIII rover was sent to him.

He opened it, and the contents inside surprised him again. It turned out that in the Martian ocean where the original Martian bacteria were first discovered, the blue star organisms such as chlorella that were stocked in it reproduced quickly at first, but were quickly destroyed by the original Martian bacteria. Swallowed and became its nourishment, the Martian ocean is now completely occupied by Martian bacteria...

They can not only perform photosynthesis, but also "eat", although their size is much smaller than single-celled algae such as Chlorella.

Eating may be inaccurate, or "decomposition" is more appropriate...

The vitality of Martian creatures seems to be much stronger than that of Blue Star creatures, and their competitiveness is also much stronger...

Seems reasonable too.

After all, in comparison, Blue Star creatures are like children growing up in a greenhouse. The living environment is so superior, so they don't need strong competitiveness to survive.

But Mars is different. Mars had an extremely harsh natural environment for billions of years before, so the creatures on Mars must have strong adaptability and competitiveness in order to survive today!

Natural selection, survival of the fittest!
Under such extreme conditions on Mars, the genes that can survive to this day must be the most powerful and competitive creatures!
Now that the conditions on Mars have improved and are more suitable for the survival of organic life, it will inevitably rise rapidly and crush the alien blue star creatures.

The only fortunate thing is that it does not seem to be common on Mars, and it does not cross the vast continent.

So it can be controlled in individual oceans or lakes, and there is no need to worry that blue star species cannot survive on Mars.

This discovery also reminded He Xiao that we must be careful to guard against Martian protobacteria and other Martian organisms that may appear in the future. They must be strictly controlled in the laboratory and must not be allowed to spread on the blue star, otherwise it may lead to blue stars. The great disaster of the star...

After all, the water bodies of Blue Star are connected together...
