Homo sapiens.

at the same time.

Homo sapiens base in Copernicus crater on the moon.

After several expansions, the base is currently a base with 75 large cabins, and a landing field has also been built.

At this time, a biological experiment is also being carried out inside the base.

Various biosynthetic bacteria were sent into the synthesis pool, and various nutrients and raw materials were also continuously injected into the synthesis pool.

As biologists, Du Kai and Kudo Naoya are one of the technicians sent by Homo sapiens to the Copernicus base on the moon.

At present, Homo Sapiens has 24 permanent employees at the Lunar Copernicus Base, 9 of whom are scientists.

"Naoya, how is your situation?"

"The synthesis of spheres, cubes, and cuboid parts is not a big problem. What about you?"

Du Kai replied with a headache: "The automatic synthesis of complex shapes is too troublesome."

Suddenly a researcher walked in lightly.

Kudo Naoya also saw the visitor, and asked with a smile, "Wise, why are you back?"

Wise Hernandez is a typical Latin American. He took out a large thermos container and replied with a smile on his face: "I have successfully separated helium 3 from lunar soil by using bioconcentration technology."

"Oh? That's really gratifying." Du Kai had some envy on his face.

"What about you?" Wise Hernandez looked at the dozen or so mini biosynthesis pools around him.

Du Kai spread his hands and replied helplessly: "There is no way to accurately synthesize parts with complex shapes."

"It seems that your research will take some time!"

"There is no other way, we can only do it step by step. It's useless to rush this kind of research." Kudo Naoya is very optimistic.

Du Kai asked a little strangely: "Wise, you should have other things, right?"

It was only then that Wise Hernandez remembered what he had come here, and he quickly explained: "I found something in the core of a drilling well."

"What?" Du Kai was very curious.

"You'll know it when you see it."

After speaking, Wise Hernandez projected some ultra-high-definition pictures taken by the cryo-electron microscope.

Seeing the picture in the holographic projection, Du Kai and Kudo Nao also stared wide-eyed. Obviously, the content of the picture made them very shocked.

"It turned out to be a cell structure?" Naoto Kudo was also very surprised.

And Du Kai turned to Wise Hernandez and asked, "Wise, have you tested the gene of this creature?"

Wise Hernandez nodded: "I have detected it. It is not a known species on Earth. This thing was found in an aquifer 352 meters underground. It is most likely one of the protozoans of the moon."

"This is simply a miracle of life." Du Kai praised.

"In fact, there is life on the moon, and it is not difficult to understand." Naoya Kudo explained while carefully looking at the microorganisms in front of him.

The reason why Naoya Kudo is so sure is that there are a large number of scientific research reports of Homo sapiens. Among them, the research papers on asteroids reveal the fact that various amino acid molecules exist in the ice-water mixture of some asteroids.

Amino acid molecules are considered to be one of the basic components of the origin of life.

Compared with the earth with a dense atmosphere, the densely packed craters on the moon prove that the moon often encounters asteroids.

Among these asteroids, there must be some amino acid molecules carried by the asteroids, which are integrated with the moon.

Although the moon has no atmosphere and the intensity of solar radiation on the surface is very high, which is not conducive to the reproduction of organisms, this ratio does not mean that there are no organisms on the moon.

For example, there are microbial cells in the underground aquifer discovered by Wise Hernandez at this time.

It proves that there may be an environment suitable for biological survival in the subsurface aquifer of the moon.

There is groundwater under the moon, and there is also magma activity at the same time. Magma activity can provide a certain amount of heat energy for groundwater. Water resources with temperature are the hotbeds for the birth of life.

Wise Hernandez continued: "I have reported this discovery to the ground center."

"What are the instructions from the headquarters?" Du Kai asked.

"The headquarters wants us to cooperate to study the genes and characteristics of these lunar microorganisms."

Kudo Nao also agreed: "Is that so? No problem, my experiment has been done in a hurry."

"I haven't finished it yet, and I can't get out of it for the time being." Du Kai could only express regret helplessly.

Wise Hernandez also understood very well: "It doesn't matter."

For the study of lunar bacteria and microorganisms, the base's current manpower is definitely not enough.

However, the current size of the Copernicus base has already locked the size of the base's permanent employees.

Before the gravity problem is completely solved, it is very difficult to station employees on the moon for a long time.

It's not that the supplies are not enough, or the transportation volume of the spacecraft is not enough, but that humans currently have no way to survive in a low-gravity environment for a long time.

Even the new human beings have no way to get rid of the gravity environment of the earth. This is a kind of path dependence formed by human beings in the earth environment for thousands of years.

Unless we stop being human, human beings have to live in the low-gravity environment of outer space for a long time, and can only rely on the pseudo-gravity produced by centrifugal force.

The environmental adaptability between organisms is sometimes really very different.

Perhaps this is the price!

Human beings have gained wisdom in the long evolutionary path, but lost the ability of rapid mutation.

Microorganisms have acquired super-strong mutation ability, but lost their wisdom.

In this world, it is impossible for perfect natural creatures to exist after all.

Du Kai, who remembered something, reminded Wise Hernandez: "Wise, if you want to leave the cabin these days, you'd better not leave the base too far."

"What happened?" Wise Hernandez was at a loss.

"Didn't two solar wind bursts erupt some time ago."

Wise Hernandez nodded: "I know about it, but what does it have to do with me leaving the cabin? Is there another solar storm going to erupt?"

"No." Du Kai explained.

After listening to Du Kai's explanation, Wise Hernandez finally understood what happened.

It turned out that it was because of two solar storms some time ago that the three ground-linked satellites orbiting the moon were scrapped.

Now these three defunct satellites are still orbiting the moon, but there are some problems with their orbits and speeds, and there is a risk of falling to the surface of the moon.

That's why Du Kai reminded Wise Hernandez to pay attention to safety when going out, so as not to be caught by a dead satellite blind cat and a dead mouse.

After learning about this situation, Wise Hernandez asked curiously again: "Didn't the Earth Federation say that they want to establish a permanent base on the moon? Why hasn't there been any movement recently?"

"It's not that they are self-confident, Musk's large number of Starlink satellites are now almost becoming spacecraft killers." Du Kai looked helpless.

Wise Hernandez quickly asked: "I heard that the low-Earth orbit is full of various debris and debris. Will it affect our mission?"

"It has a little impact, but not much. Our satellites and spacecraft are originally semi-military products."

"That's good."

Wise Hernandez chatted with Du Kai and Kudo Naoya for a while, then left here with the helium-3 container and returned to his cabin.
