Chapter 314

Year after year

The whole fleet has entered the open space. Kunlun mountain successfully used several large gravitational waves to accelerate the fleet to the rated speed and entered the normal navigation.

The goal is to 187j3x2！

Although Zhang Yuan is the captain of the Kunlun fleet, he has his own hibernation time. Hibernate about every five years, two years, more than half of the time in hibernation. But compared with the ordinary people, he wakes up much more frequently and grows old faster, which is the price of being a captain.

Every day's work is not too busy. No matter how big Kunlun Mountain is, it's just a spaceship. Without massive resources as support, it's impossible to do any big projects. Everyone's general work, that is, routine maintenance of the spacecraft, do some simple research, or design some new machinery.

There are enough materials in the laboratory. In any case, almost all the resources can be classified, recycled, and consumed only energy.

There are a lot of talented people in the spaceship. It doesn't mean that everything has to be arranged by Zhang Yuan himself. If there were no special events, Zhang Yuan would enjoy his leisure.

In this way, it has been stable for 39 years

On this day, Xu Yuanyuan, a graduate student of space botany, and several colleagues were cultivating a new generation of space mutant plants in the radiation area of the observatory.

Space travel is boring most of the time, but occasionally there are some new things. For example, when crossing the Kuiper belt, several large comets were observed. The nearest distance is about 800000 km.

Since there has not been a large planet formed near the Kuiper belt, and it has not experienced any complicated astronomical phenomena, most of its composition basically represents the original composition of the early formation of the planetary system, which is of great significance for human beings to understand the origin of stars.

Scientists once wanted to capture these meteorites, but because the speed of the whole fleet was so fast, the whole capture failed

This reliable operation also made the whole ship flying, and many researchers were lost because of this failure.

Later, about 0.2 light-years away from the star, the entire fleet encountered a strange wind of ions. This kind of ion wind has been encountered in the outer solar system. I don't know why

As a result, after exploring for a long time, there is still no scientific model that can convince everyone.

After that, nothing serious happened. The material in interstellar space is too sparse. In addition to cosmic radiation, it's a great luck to be able to encounter a meteorite the size of a little finger after millions of years of sailing in this place.

"I'm going to hibernate in five months. I always feel like I've accomplished nothing in the past few years."

"You're not doing the same job when you're on the planet..." Several girls in space suits chatted casually. They collected soybean sized seeds one by one and placed them in a Petri dish.

"Well, can seeds have favorable mutations?"

"It's hard to say If only we could find all the codes of genetic material, we don't need to be so lucky as we are now. "

"It's too stupid to understand."

DNA is an extremely complex thing for human beings, and each DNA contains a huge amount of information. This massive is a real massive, base pair sequence is only the most preliminary one-dimensional information, there are more complex two-dimensional information, and even three-dimensional space information!

So up to now, human beings have not completely deciphered the real mystery of genetic material.

It's a very boring and happy thing to cultivate space mutation plants. Its principle is very simple. By using the radiation in space, plant seeds can produce a certain degree of mutation.

Most of the mutations are harmful, resulting in the seeds can not survive at all.

But there are also a few mutations that are beneficial and produce a wonderful response. For example, Portuguese grass, a kind of algae that is widely used to purify the air and is very delicious; Artemisia, a variety of banana, can produce a lot of ethylene; jute grass, a variety of cotton, but the yield is twice that of cotton

Every time you cultivate a brand new seed, it's like touching the lottery ticket, with an inexplicable sense of expectation. Even if the vast majority will not win, but the moment of winning is to enter the peak of life!

Because of the emergence of all kinds of beneficial mutant plants, people's life is better.

These plants provide industrial production of chemical raw materials, and some are human and animal food, but also the purifier of the air environment, which is not generally important to human beings.

After placing all the seeds, all of a sudden, Xu Yuanyuan's eyes were dazzled and he felt that something had swept his eyes.

The whole world in this moment into a crystal red!

"Ah

She screamed in a low voice.

This kind of feeling is like being swept by the laser pen to her eyes, which makes her eyes ache and tears come out.She covered her eyes and looked around suspiciously with the other.

"What's the matter with you?"

"I don't know..."

This starry sky is so dark that you can't see anything except the brightness of your spacesuit.

She didn't know whether it was her own illusion or something else, but the redness and swelling of her eyes were real, and there was still a tingling feeling of being burned.

Xu Yuanyuan hurriedly returned to the carrier and went to the hospital for examination. The doctor who helped her was surprised when he heard the specific reason. Then he did not dare to delay and reported the discovery to the relevant government departments

"What, a girl is suspected to have been hit in the eye by a laser from outside?"

Zhang Yuan was also surprised when he heard about it. He went to the hospital to see the girl in person.

The doctor in the hospital replied: "it's just that the eyeball is slightly congested. It should be OK to have a rest for a while, but there's no need to replace any bionic eyeball."

"OK, thank you. If the nearby frigate misoperated, the relevant compensation and apology will be approved immediately."

But the whole incident sounds incredible!

At the beginning, Zhang Yuan thought that it was the frigate's communication laser that accidentally hit the man. But a few minutes later, all the frigates around sent messages, and there was no error or misoperation.

"Report to the captain, Falcon 1. Check. There's no communication laser fired by mistake."

"Report to the captain. Falcon 2 is all right."

……

Finally, the military also sent an investigation report: "the second confirmation, the check is correct, there is no wrong communication laser."

In order to prevent large-scale exposure of communication radio waves, the communication between the carrier and the frigate depends on directional laser. Under normal conditions, the frequency is about once a minute.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath. He soon realized some other possibilities

"If it's not the result of the wrong operation of the frigate, then Is there any other possibility? "

One Alien civilization!

Near here, there may be an alien civilization, which is using small frequency laser to explore the outside world!

Things soon got serious.

After a few words of comfort, he hurried back to his captain's room and issued an emergency notice. The reason why we can infer such information is that the Kunlun fleet often uses low-frequency laser to detect.

The sky is so dark. The nearest star is two light-years away. There are so few photons in space that it is almost invisible.

This kind of darkness, causes the conventional observation equipment to have no way to observe the surrounding environment completely, therefore, the best exploration method is to use the microwave or the laser!

Using the microwave radar with huge power, the effect is very good. Everything around can be illuminated very quickly. But this kind of high-power radar will directly expose its own position, just like the huge light bulb in the Dark Universe. It is impossible to be unknown.

Therefore, the use of searchlight laser has become a very good choice.

The power of this kind of probe laser is not high, and it can be launched continuously. When the laser touches a smooth object, it will produce a series of diffuse reflection echo. By analyzing the data of these diffuse echoes, we can get the specific shape and position of the object

When he thought of this possibility, Zhang Yuan was excited and worried, and immediately gave the order: "attention, all spaceships, please pay attention, there may be unknown alien civilization around, use the detection laser to detect it!"
