Chapter 604 Six Claws
In the dark void.

The alien spaceship and Cicada-class 004 continued to advance rapidly towards the distant edge of the Kuiper belt in the same direction as before.

After several months of exploring the interior of the alien spacecraft, the exploration team has naturally figured out the situation inside, including the location of alien creatures.

Inside this alien spacecraft, there are many alien creatures discovered so far.

But in the previous exploration process, the exploration team avoided these alien creatures, and at the same time they were secretly testing to see if these alien creatures were really dead, or they were doing things in secret.

After several months of probing, the exploration team and the Homo sapiens company behind it have preliminarily determined that all these alien creatures have lost their lives.

Even if these creatures are frozen, Homo sapiens company is too clear about the cryonics technology. Li Qingye had studied the cryopreservation technology in depth in order to prolong his life.

There are three elements, or limitations, to this technique.

First, the cells of the frozen organisms must have anti-ice crystallization and anti-ice water deformation, otherwise the cells will die for you every minute during freezing and thawing.

Second, the freezing system must remain stable during the freezing of organisms, otherwise it is easy to cause failure to wake up, or even directly cause the body to die.

Third, the freezing period should not be too long. The current Homo sapiens technology can only be frozen for a maximum of 37 months. If this period is exceeded, the brain will experience severe memory loss.

And don't think that freezing beyond the limit will only cause memory problems. If it is frozen for more than a few decades, it may sleep forever.

According to the information currently analyzed from the alien spacecraft, the alien spacecraft departed from the parent star about 45270 years ago, and the last nuclear reactor was shut down 13760 years ago.

In other words, the creatures inside the alien spacecraft have been frozen for at least 13760 years.

Even if the alien civilization's bio-freezing technology is superior to Homo sapiens, there is no way to guarantee that the body can be thawed and revived after 13760 years of freezing.

Of course, Li Qingye knows that there is a solution that can indeed be frozen for a long time, and it can be safely revived after thawing, and the memory will not be lost.

That is "absolute zero cryonics technology".

This is also a new technology currently being researched by Homo sapiens, which is considered an essential technology for interstellar navigation.

Why can absolute zero human body cryogenic technology be maintained for a long time?
The reason lies in atomic motion.

Be aware that the closer the temperature is to absolute zero, the less atomic activity there will be.

The fundamental reason why ordinary freezing technology cannot be maintained for a long time is that in ordinary freezing, atoms still have obvious traces of activity.

It’s okay in a short period of time, but once the time exceeds three years, the accumulation of atomic activities will gradually damage the structure of cells and neurons.

After being frozen for more than several decades, the atomic activities of the body have not been corrected by the physiological activities of the body in time, the cells and gene sequences have long been riddled with atomic activities, and the organisms are bound to die.

In the past, there was a project of freezing human bodies on the earth for a while, and many people even participated in it.

Obviously, those who participated in the freezing had basically no possibility of survival.

As for the refrigeration system on the alien spacecraft, it is obvious that there is no way to achieve absolute zero, even if it was once able to achieve close to absolute zero, after the spacecraft's energy is completely exhausted, the refrigeration system naturally cannot maintain it.

After more than 1 years of disorderly freezing, those aliens were probably frozen to death.

That's why the exploration team got permission from the Space Division and began to prepare to extract those frozen alien creatures.

Zheng Lin, who had just been on vacation for half a month, was on duty again. He led the team into the alien spacecraft again. This time, the cicada-class 004 spacecraft activated three exploration craft and six synchronous robots.

Zheng Lin manipulated the exoskeleton with ease, and entered the passage of the alien spacecraft.

It took about half an hour to make seven turns and eight turns.

A group of people finally entered a huge cabin.

There are 500 cryopods on display here.

The cryogenic cabin, which had lost power for a long time, was lifeless at this time.

After all, in the magnetic field scanning, these aliens are also carbon-based creatures, and in such a long period of freezing, there must be no way to escape the ravages of time.

If these aliens are silicon-based organisms, perhaps Homo sapiens wouldn't be so sure.

Through the built-in communicator inside the exoskeleton armor, Zheng Lin ordered: "Start cutting the cryo chamber, be careful."

"OK."

"Don't worry! I'm a professional."

In order to avoid melting the ice in the freezer compartment, only cold disassembly can be used for disassembly work, and laser and chemical solutions cannot be used.

Fortunately, Zheng Lin and the others were well prepared.

With the support of the exoskeleton armor, the special super-tungsten carbide cutter instantly cut the four corners of the freezing chamber, and then cut off the freezing chamber bit by bit as if peeling the skin.

The freezing chamber, which has aged very badly, can't stop the super hard alloy knives at all.

As the freezer compartment was cut away, the situation inside was quickly revealed.

Zheng Lin scraped off the debris on the surface with an alloy knife, and through the frozen ice layer, he could see a thin body under the translucent ice layer.

This is also the first time Zheng Lin saw the appearance of an alien creature.

It's just that they looked at it for a while, and found it a little strange. After all, the body under the ice was not at all like the alien in everyone's impression, but a bit like an octopus.

A team member speculated: "Deputy team Zheng, could this thing be a pet or livestock of an alien civilization?"

"Pets? Livestock? It doesn't look like it!"

"Remove a few more freezer compartments, and you will know."

Zheng Lin also couldn't make up his mind, after all, the appearance of this alien octopus really didn't look like the aliens in the traditional impression.

He thought for a while, and ordered again: "Continue to dismantle the freezer."

"receive."

More than three hours passed, during which Zheng Lin and his team dismantled 7 cryo chambers, and all of them turned out to be alien octopus creatures without exception.

This situation makes everyone have to believe that this is an alien.

And through the synchronous communication system, the earth headquarters that share the data.

Many related researchers are also discussing this kind of aliens.

Judging from the data on the screen, this six-clawed man is about 1.2 meters tall, has 6 tentacles, and has a head the size of a football.

But on its head, there are no obvious facial features, especially the eyes, and there is no trace of them.

Some biologists believe that this is caused by the environment of the six-clawed people's home star, because the six-clawed people's home star is a gaseous planet, which itself has no sunlight.

In this way, the living environment of the Six Claws must be in a dark state. In this environment, the eyes are not important at all. On the contrary, the sense of smell and pheromones play an irreplaceable role in communication and exploration.

This explains why the six-clawed man's life form has no eyes.

And the work of exploring the six-clawed man is not over, or even just begun.

On the other side, three supporting cicada-class spacecraft are also rapidly approaching here. At that time, one of the cicada-class spacecraft will bring some samples of alien creatures back to the Mars space station.

As for why not take it back to Earth, of course it is because of safety considerations.

In case the alien civilization has special means to hide in the corpse, studying these alien creatures on Mars will also help control the spread of alien creatures in the solar system.
