Chapter 477 The Past on Mars ([-])
Dr. Dum made a KO gesture, and then was pulled into a strange place, as if he had a brand new body.

He opened his eyes, he was inside a box, suddenly the box was opened, Emma's holographic projection appeared in front of him, and there were two silver-white robots beside him, it seems that for the convenience of everyone's identification, there is a floating sign on the top of the robot Holographic font.

The red letters of [Di Ying] and [Kudo Yanzhi] are floating above the heads of the two robots, so there should be the red letters of [Victor Von Dum] above his head.

"Doctors, you are now trying to move your body, and there is a five-sense test at the side." Emma pointed to a workbench beside her and said.

The so-called five-sense test is actually to ensure that the stand-in robot can truly convey these feelings to the user and avoid serious errors.

Dr. Doom picked up a piece of soap very curiously.

[Please put it in your mouth and taste the taste of the item. ] Dr. Dum put the "soap" into his mouth, and a strawberry smell immediately filled his mouth.

"Strawberry flavor."

[correct answer. ]
Di Ying and Kudo Yanzhi also followed suit and tested. After half an hour of testing, the body movements, bionic functions, and transmission of the five senses of their stand-in robots were completely normal.

At this time, Emma took them to meet Liao Qingsong, the base chief of the Mars base. After introducing Liao Qingsong and the three doctors to each other, Emma's holographic projection disappeared in front of everyone.

"Liao, can you take us to see the Martian paleontological fossils?" Dr. Dum asked impatiently.

Di Ying and Kudo Yanzhi also looked at Liao Qingsong eagerly, Liao Qingsong nodded and said, "Yes, the three doctors will come with me!"

Led by Liao Qingsong, after bypassing five cabins, everyone entered an isolated storage cabin, which stored Martian paleontological fossils collected from Centipede Canyon, a total of 50 samples.

Looking at the samples in each storage box, Dr. Dum knew at a glance that the possibility of these things being fossils was very high, and he asked eagerly, "Can you open it?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the next cabin, so you can open it." Liao Qingsong is now in the storage cabin himself, and he can't have direct contact with these fossil samples.

After he got out of the storage cabin, he closed the door and said through the intercom: "Three doctors, you can open the sample storage box now, the password is all four zeros."

"OK." Dr. Doom hastily picked out a centipede-like fossil, beep...[0000] After entering the password, the storage box popped open automatically, and the centipede-like fossil inside appeared in front of his eyes.

This piece of sedimentary rock is gray-white as a whole, and the centipede-like fossils are entrenched in the middle of the sedimentary rocks. The centipede-like fossils are black and red, about 1.2 meters in length and 0.13 to 0.15 meters in width. There are a pair of joints and legs. How many pairs are there? It needs to be studied; the other is a carapace-like body, which really looks like an enlarged version of a centipede.

"Liao, is there any research equipment?" Dr. Dum turned his head and asked.

Liao Qingsong replied through the intercom: "The cabin on the left is a small laboratory, and the password is also four zeros."

"Thank you." Dr. Dum quickly put down the fossil, opened the small laboratory on the left, and was looking for tools to move the fossil to the laboratory. Suddenly he remembered that this stand-in robot could lift a maximum weight of 800 kilograms, so Dr. Dum tried Lifting the fossil storage box, it was easy to lift the box.

After entering the laboratory, he couldn't wait to start researching. Di Ying and Kudo Yanzhi also took action and began to study these fossil samples.

Time flies, and before I know it, I have arrived at March 1, Galaxy Year 3.

On the Mars space station, Dr. Dum, who had just had a meal, came to the lounge, and saw Dr. Di Ying with fat eyes and Kudo Yanzhi who was digging through the materials.

Yanzhi Kudo raised his glasses and asked, "How is your research going?"

"I have initially divided these paleontological fossils. So far, a total of 6 classes and 46 species of paleontological species have been discovered, but there are no reptiles, mammals, and birds that are common in blue stars." Di Di Ying said, resting her chin.

"Have you noticed a phenomenon?" Dr. Doom said suddenly.

"What phenomenon?" Di Ying asked curiously.

"Dissan has been classifying fossils these days, and he may not have studied this aspect." Kudo Yanzhi seemed to know what Dr. Doom wanted to say.

"The fossils in the geological age of 1.2054 to 1.2055 million years are too dense." Dum said as he opened the holographic bracelet, and some pictures and materials of his field trip to Centipede Canyon through the stand-in robot appeared in front of the three of them.

Kudo Yanzhi raised his glasses and said: "I also discovered this problem. After counting fossil samples and field investigation and analysis, I found that during the period from 1.2054 to 1.2055, a large number of fossils appeared. The total number of fossils we have discovered so far It is 1.9764, of which the geological age of 1.2054-1.2055 accounts for 31%. The distribution of fossils in the geological age before this is relatively uniform. The peak of fossil formation is between 1.2054 and 1.2055, and then there is a cliff-like situation. After 1.193, The fossil never came back."

Di Ying frowned immediately when she heard this: "There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, during the period from 1.2054 to 1.2055, a mass extinction occurred on Mars."

Dr. Dum nodded: "I think so too. Many fossils before 1.2054-1.2055 were incomplete, but during the period from 1.2054 to 1.2055, most of the fossils were complete, which shows that they died. It was very dense and close in time, and it was a mass extinction."

"However, we can't make a direct conclusion yet. The results of this investigation can only prove that there was a biological extinction event in the southern part of the Utopia Plain." Kudo Yanzhi continued.

"Indeed, we need to conduct investigations in other regions of Mars. If this situation occurs in other regions, the results will be self-evident." Di Ying echoed.

Dr. Doom continued to look at the test data. This kind of sudden extinction has also happened in the history of Blue Star, such as the most famous 6500 million years ago. The mass extinction of dinosaurs. The more I am in awe, it can be said that human beings have been able to develop steadily for so long, it can be said that luck is against the sky.

How difficult it is for an intelligent race to develop to the stage of interstellar civilization. The universe is like a big filter, killing 99% of the planets suitable for life in the microbial stage, and the remaining 1% can evolve into multicellular planets; while 99% The planets with multicellular organisms will stop here, and the remaining 1% may be born with intelligent life; and 99% of the planets with intelligent life will not be able to become interstellar civilizations.

The universe is like a big filter, filtering life planets layer by layer. It is a rare thing that two quasi-interstellar civilizations (Blue Star Civilization and Triangle Civilization) can be born within 100 light years.

There are not a few planets like Venus that were killed at the stage of microorganisms, and planets like Mars that were destroyed at the stage of multicellular organisms are also countless.

Dr. Dum opened the shading layer and looked at the red planet under his feet, all kinds of things were mixed for a while.
