Chapter 173 Mars Shepherd
[When you see this video, it should have passed by hundreds of millions or billions of years, and we Muba people have also died of hundreds of millions or billions of years.”
The Martian Muba people on the screen ignored the fear of Lu Yi and others, and were still talking to themselves.
Lu Yi couldn't understand the language he spoke, but it seemed that the Muba people had already anticipated the language problem, and there would be Martian subtitles under each sentence.
Through Martian subtitles, Lu Yi, who has deciphered the Martian dictionary, can perform synchronous translation.
[We Muba people were born in the early stages of this galaxy, and the evolutionary history can trace 500 million years after the birth of the Martian home planet...]
As the Martian tells the story, the background of the video is also changing, and it is replaced by the scenery of the early stages of the formation of the solar system. There are initial meteorites and asteroids running around in space, and from time to time it will hit the sun or hit the planet.
The sun, which has been born for hundreds of millions of years, is much more violent than it is now. From time to time, a violent solar wind or ray storm will sweep across the entire galaxy.
At the same time, the eight major planets in the solar system have just formed hundreds of millions of years, and have not even cleared the matter from the planet's orbit. Observing the sky from the ground of Mars, fire meteors flying in the sky, magma flowing on the ground, and gray volcanic dust floating in the air.
The miracle of life began to be nurtured from this time, perhaps it was a miracle brought by meteorites outside the sky, or perhaps it was a miracle of natural birth. In the 500th year of Mars' birth, the planet has basically been stable. Although volcanic eruptions or earthquakes often occur, the ground is no longer full of magma...
In the Arctic of Mars, the geological activity here is relatively less intense. At the same time, due to the shortage of light, the violent energy release of the newborn planet did not increase the temperature here to too high.
The temperature hovers between 20 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius, and the water vapor can condense into liquid. The temperature will drop below zero during the extreme night...
Widgets of moss are growing and thriving in the gray sun in the sky. In this mossy wilderness, strange saplings stand out from the flock of cranes. When there is sunshine, they absorb water from the air and underground to wake up and grow. They sleep in the extreme night. Occasionally, they encounter sparse water in the habitat or other reasons, and can slowly pull out the tree roots like animals to move.
But perhaps the sun was covered by gray volcanic ash, and these saplings seemed to be a little malnourished, all of which were only a few dozen centimeters tall.
"stop!"
Seeing this, Lu Yi waved his hand to pause the video, turned to look at Professor Su and Professor Hill: "Can Muba people simulate the situation at the beginning of their birth?"
“It’s possible.”
Professor Su, who has some research on the origin of life, said: "The decay and heavy elements of various elements in the early stages of the planet will be strong, and the chemical reaction will be very severe, so there is a great chance that the seeds of life will naturally be born.
In addition, the solar radiation in the early stages of galaxies is very violent. These solar radiations may be maintained at a subtle level after being weakened and blocked by the Martian atmosphere, which can stimulate the accelerated mutation of life genes, and will not cause life to die due to excessive radiation.
The difficulty of life is not the emergence of life seeds. The violent chemical reactions and collisions of organic matter can have a high chance of forming the original life seeds. It is rare that after the life seeds appear, a relatively stable environment is needed to allow the seeds to continue before evolution can be discussed.
If Mars North Pole could have been stable for millions of years without large-scale volcanic eruptions within a million years after the birth of life seeds, and could not have overturning destruction within a million years, then life would have evolved so quickly in the early galaxy stellar radiation environment."
"It's incredible that plants can photosynthesis and move," Lu Yi shook his head with some exclamation after hearing Professor Su's words.
"It is not impossible to evolve this kind of life that can move slowly and perform photosynthesis. We can synthesize similar genes in the laboratory, and even the origin of our animals and plants on Earth is similar life. Nature is a natural test site."
Professor Su shook his head and said, "It's just that this kind of life that is both an animal and a plant does not have an advantage in evolution. Without the roots of real trees, they can draw more nutrients from the soil. They grow very tall and cannot reproduce like mosses or other lower vegetation. At the same time, they do not move fast, and they do not have any defensive means of hunting.
In the evolution of nature, mediocrity is equal to destruction.
Even if this kind of life that seems powerful but does not have a skill that can highlight its advantages is born, it will eventually be eliminated in natural evolution or differentiated into animals and plants.
So I am very curious about the process in which the Muba people retained the form of animals and plants, and continued to evolve and awaken wisdom and develop civilization."
[According to research, our ancestors have lived in the Arctic for nearly ten million years. Occasionally, genetic mutations have strengthened photosynthesis and strengthened root growth and evolved into offspring of plants. They grow more lushly, but our ancestors can move and choose to avoid being blocked from the sunlight.
Occasionally, progeny that weakens or even abandons photosynthesis will appear because there is no other energy intake in the environment. At the same time, various toxic sulfides and other gases are filled with the air, which will also kill them that are not enough to meet the energy needs of the body.
However, due to the extreme night period and the intensity of the Arctic sunlight, our ancestors have been reproductive and not extinct, but they have always been weak, even saying that they are still breathing.
Fortunately, nature has not evolved other natural enemies at that time, so our evolution continues...]
[As a life of photosynthesis, we have a strong demand for sunlight. Before we exceed the tolerance limit, the intensity of sunlight determines our growth level. However, the Arctic environment and the ash brought by the frequent eruptions on Mars at that time blocked most of the sunlight.]
[If this situation does not change, after naturally evolving other natural enemies, what awaits our Muba ancestors will perish]
[Ancestors who had not evolved wisdom at that time and did not understand the laws of natural evolution did not realize the potential natural crisis. They were still thriving. This situation continued until an unexpected occurrence...]
[The specific situation of this accident cannot be investigated, but we must have encountered this accident in the evolution of the Muba people.
It is precisely because of this unexpected occurrence that the ancestors of the Muba people had more sunshine and started thinking, thus gradually evolving wisdom, and finally using wisdom to become the overlord of the planet and create a brilliant civilization...]
