Biology itself does not have a particularly precise definition. According to certain theories in meta-cellular automata, only a few simple rules are needed to form complex and abnormal systems under the rules of time and space.
Just imagine, even in the mediocre solar system, there are multiple living planets, so what can it explain?
If a person buys a lottery ticket and wins a prize, it may be because of good luck; if he buys two lottery tickets and wins a prize, it may not only be because of good luck, but because the probability of winning the lottery itself is already very high.
Because of the existence of these complex organic matter, it proves the universality of life in the universe.
But don't worry about anything, humans have sent a large number of electromagnetic waves to Gliese 581.
As a result, there was no response...
Humans have never observed it, and Gliese 581 has the limit of intelligent civilization.
On the contrary, Zhang Yuan is more worried about whether the human immune system can adapt to the complex microbial environment of the alien planet.
"It's useless to think too much, but you have to be prepared in advance." Brother Zhao patted him on the shoulder, turned and returned to the cabin.
...
Time passed day after day, and it was time to hibernate again. This year was a very fulfilling one, and he learned a lot of new things.
But this time of hibernation, there was a slight sense of melancholy. After saying goodbye to his teacher and friends, Zhang Yuan went to say goodbye to the old captain.
The old Captain Ma was looking at the starry sky in the Xingchen Library, and sighed: "Children, do you know the origin of the Earth Times spacecraft?"
Five children aged 13 or 14 were watching curiously in the Xingchen Library. It was the first time for them to experience this kind of gravity-free situation, and they had a great time seeing the stars in the sky.
A child quickly replied: "Of course it was built by the civilization of the earth!"
The old captain asked again: "Do you know what the earth is?"
"...It's a very big planet, and there are many, many people in it."
Another child said excitedly: "I read it from a book. , There are a lot of delicious things, fun things, and some cartoons produced there."
Although the children do not have such deep feelings for the civilization of the earth, they have enough curiosity.
The old captain continued to ask: "Then do you know how many people are needed to build this spaceship?" "
500,000?"
500,000 is already the entire population of the spaceship, and it is the biggest concept in their minds.
"Wrong, we need to add three zeros!"
The old captain said with a smile: "At least 500 million people! They have directly or indirectly participated in the construction of the spaceship. It took sixty years for the initial planning and supporting equipment. It took forty years to build..."
These children were shocked and speechless, this grand plan has exceeded their imagination.
The education on the Earth Times is very strict. Under the condition of poor resources, when you reach the age, you will have a certain amount of physical labor.
Material life is not very good, there are not so many toys.
Children from poor families are always more precocious, and they are deeply aware of the huge number.
The old captain asked again: "If you arrive at the new home planet, complete the basic industrialization, and solve the problem of survival, are you willing to spend a lot of effort to build the next deep space colony ship?" "...don't
worry He replied, you will spend your whole life on this matter, and then, this spaceship does not belong to you, it will slip away from your hands."
Several children were stunned, unable to speak.
When I think that the painstaking efforts of my life will leave my arms, I feel an inseparable colic feeling.
They already know how long the distance of light years is, and they also know how difficult this kind of lonely travel is. Know more about the importance of money in life.
The old captain smiled and explained: "This is not a meaningless thing. In the best age, dedicate the best part of our entire civilization, throw it into the vast universe, and grow into a brand new star." seeds."
"This is the idea of our new civilization, which we call the... Seeding Plan!"
"We cannot guarantee that our civilization will escape the fate of mediocrity. Our mathematics is far from strong enough, Our will is not firm enough, we don't know whether the future path is correct, so we must do it!" "...
Only in this way, year after year, day after day, generation after generation will continue to be reborn from the ruins."
" Use our dilapidated history to illuminate the road to the future."
"I believe that one day..."
"There is a generation of civilization that can produce real qualitative changes!"
"...It will become a truly extraordinary civilization. The legend! Far beyond our existence!"
"This is the meaning of what we do! Are you still willing?"
The children's blood boiled, and the distressed feeling seemed to have eased a lot.
"Then... I want to be the captain!"
"I want to too!"
Several children quickly raised their hands.
The old captain laughed out loud.
He has made up his mind not to hibernate anymore, and will spend the last period of his life doing what he wants to do. It is not bad to educate the next generation of children and accompany this spaceship that has stayed for a lifetime to slowly wither.
What you feel regretful, others may not feel regretful, what you feel happy, others may not feel happy. The real feeling is like a person drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or not.
The old captain turned his head and smiled at Zhang Yuan: "Are you going to hibernate soon?" The
deep wrinkles on the old captain's face were like hills and valleys, but the whole person seemed to have a kind of strength full of strength feel. He dedicated his whole life to this spaceship, and it is almost over here, but it is far from over.
Such a powerful aura will make people subconsciously ignore his age.
Zhang Yuan nodded: "In an hour..."
"I'll give you a ride!"
The lights in the large hibernation room were always so dim and hazy, and Zhang Yuan always felt that there was an unreal psychedelic here.
The hibernation device is like a machine that travels through time and space.
It's a pity that it's just a one-way ticket to the future, and it's impossible to go back to the past.
He didn't have much friendship with the old captain, but at this moment, he still had an indescribable feeling.
The first batch of humans withered in deep space...
really...
great enough.
There will be a second batch and a third batch later.
Divorce is not always a comfortable thing.
"Tragedies and dramas are just other people's feelings. This life is safe and sound, and I have not made too many mistakes. It is already very good. I am very satisfied." The old captain saw his mood and smiled faintly. with.
"I can only send you here."
"It's you guys, you have to keep working hard..."
"Future challenges are all up to you."
With a soft sound, the hibernation compartment cover was officially closed, and Zhang Yuan felt dizzy in his mind. The last scene he saw was the old captain smiling kindly at him.
