Chapter 585: Unexpected Research Direction

"Yes, that's us. But we want to walk around here first and learn about life on Mars. Is that okay?"

"Of course you can. You two are our most respected customers. We will do our best to meet all your requests."

Under the guidance of this staff member, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun visited the current environment on Mars together.

After decades of development, Mars has indeed changed significantly from before. Many things on it are beyond the names of Ning Chen.

After the staff member's explanation, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun learned the names and functions of these things one by one, which gave them a more comprehensive understanding of the current situation on Mars.

If we simply give an overview of the current situation on Mars, it is like a huge "science fiction island" that displays all the most advanced technologies of the blue planet civilization.

In fact, it is very difficult to accomplish this. Before this, Ning Chen’s construction of the Science Fiction Island project was still more in the experimental stage. After all, the workload required to mass-produce such high-tech is too enormous.

However, as batches of Martian immigrants arrived on Mars one after another, they gradually completed this seemingly almost impossible task.

Those who immigrate to Mars are the most elite people of the Blue Star civilization. Everyone can show his or her own role without wasting the resources on Mars.

Although Star Technology has lowered its requirements for Mars immigrants in the later period, people who do not have enough ability can also obtain the qualifications to immigrate to Mars by paying high fees, but these fees are also very important for the construction of Mars. After all, these fees are not just a one-time fee. After paying a fee, various related fees need to be paid every year.

If you are not a very wealthy person, you will not be able to support such huge expenses. This also makes the speed of technological and economic development on Mars very rapid, which is simply unattainable on the Blue Planet.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Song Xiyun couldn't help but said to Ning Chen in surprise:
"Ning... Chen Ning, Mars is surprisingly prosperous now. All those prosperous times that people could not have imagined before have now been successfully realized on Mars."

Song Xiyun was not yet used to her and Ning Chen's new identities and almost blurted out Ning Chen's real name, but she quickly corrected herself.

At the Mars Immigration Bureau, the identities of Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had already been edited by Lu Minghao. According to the information learned by this staff member, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun were both from scientific research families and had a good status and wealth on the Blue Star. It was very normal for them to be qualified to immigrate to Mars, and to have such top-level immigration conditions.

Of course, even if Ning Chen and Song Xiyun let something slip in front of him, they would just pretend nothing happened. Keeping the client's private information confidential is part of their job.

After walking around the area, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had a general understanding of the situation here and decided to go back to their house first.

With the support of Mars' highly developed transportation technology, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun only need to take a flying car of their own and they can go directly back home. Moreover, the entire journey is automatically driven and they do not need to perform any operations at all.

"Mr. Chen Ning, Ms. Yunxi, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. Please contact me anytime when you need me."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After seeing off the staff member, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun could finally relax and chat without worrying about other people hearing what they were saying.

"Ning Chen, the various technologies on Mars are still directly related to our previous research on the Science Fiction Island. It's just that the names have changed a little, and some details have been filled in. It seems that in the past few decades, the Blue Star civilization has indeed not achieved any major breakthroughs in technology."

"Song Xiyun, that's not the case. After all, a disruptive breakthrough like the Industrial Revolution is very rare every hundred years. It's already very good that Mars has developed to this level. If we hadn't carried out cross-planet development, such a prosperous era would not even exist now."

"Yes, that's indeed the truth. All the advanced scientific and technological concepts we had before required a lot of time to digest. Even in this era, they are still realizing our scientific and technological concepts one by one. It is indeed an incredible thing to see that our previous dreams have become reality..."

After chatting about the latest situation on Mars for a while, Song Xiyun asked Ning Chen:
"Ning Chen, what are your plans next? Are we really going to just sit there doing nothing and not do any work on Mars?"

Although Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had already agreed that they would spend the rest of their lives in a very leisurely manner, this did not mean that they would do nothing and just take a walk on the street every day.

After all, such days are too boring, and most people on Mars still have their jobs.

"Of course, Song Xiyun, we may not do nothing. Mars is now open for recruitment for many jobs, and we can choose some jobs that suit us. But I personally prefer that we find some topics to study ourselves, just like we did before."

There is no contradiction between choosing a relaxed lifestyle and conducting scientific research, because this is what Ning Chen and Song Xiyun originally felt.

"Forget about finding a job on Mars. Even if we want to experience the lifestyle of ordinary people, there is no need to work. Then we can just go and find some topics of interest to study. Anyway, we don't need to worry about the issue of wealth."

After confirming this plan, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun enjoyed their new life on Mars while looking for some research topics that interested them.

It has to be admitted that the new life on Mars is indeed very comfortable and pleasant. Ning Chen and Song Xiyun can not only experience the latest technology on the science fiction island, but also feel the bustle and warmth of the real human society.

This was something they had never enjoyed in the first thirty years of their lives. For a moment, they seemed to have forgotten what they wanted to study and just indulged in various enjoyable activities every day.

As time went by, Ning Chen finally said to Song Xiyun, "Song Xiyun, I have studied materials science and mathematics for so many years, but now I am suddenly interested in biology. Biology may not seem as advanced as other science and engineering subjects, but it is actually an important subject that cannot be ignored..."

Listening to Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun nodded in agreement.

Although Ning Chen has always been a very comprehensive interdisciplinary talent and his research areas cover all aspects, he will definitely focus on certain aspects in his research.

It was not until Ning Chen had made groundbreaking results in other fields that he organized Xingchen Technology and began research in the field of biology. Such research was mainly to serve medical research.

In this way, Ning Chen's original intention of studying biology has become completely different, which may open up a new direction for the biological research of Blue Star civilization.

"Ning Chen, of course I will support you in this research, but which branch of biology do you want to study?"

Within the broad category of biology, there are a variety of different research fields. If Ning Chen wants to carry out a certain research, Song Xiyun will definitely work with Ning Chen, or at least provide some help for Ning Chen's research.

"You may not expect that I want to conduct research on the intelligent creatures of this alien civilization. On the surface, this research is just an analysis of another kind of intelligent creature, but in fact, its core research is about the evolution of creatures and civilizations. Before this, the Blue Star civilization had never conducted similar research."

"Research on intelligent life forms of extraterrestrial civilizations? This is indeed a very special research topic. However, with the data we currently have, it may be difficult to carry out this research easily."

In fact, the Blue Star civilization is not completely ignorant of the intelligent creatures of this alien civilization. It’s just that this understanding is mainly based on the surface, and there are no more essential research results.

Ning Chen's ultimate goal is to figure out the entire evolutionary process of this alien intelligent creature and compare these data with humans on Blue Planet.

"Yes, this is indeed a difficult research. For example, if you want to understand the body of this alien intelligent creature, you must dissect their body. But only a very small number of alien intelligent creatures have come to the Blue Star civilization to live. It is almost impossible to obtain their remains and the right to dissect their remains..."

After listing the difficulties of this research, Ning Chen suddenly changed the subject.

"But Song Xiyun, if we can get the help of Mr. Hayes, everything will be completely different. With the resources and status that Mr. Hayes has, it is relatively easy to accomplish this. Of course, the premise is that Mr. Hayes is willing to help us."

"Well, this is indeed a method that can be tried. Mr. Hayes is also an outlier in that alien civilization. Next time we will find an opportunity to meet with Mr. Hayes and talk about this topic..."

What made Ning Chen and Song Xiyun feel somewhat coincidental was that while they were chatting about these things, Ning Chen received an invitation from Hayes.

Hayes hopes that Ning Chen and Song Xiyun can visit his home if they have time and chat casually about various scientific and technological topics.

Ning Chen also wanted to meet Hayes, so he readily accepted Hayes' invitation.

After receiving Ning Chen's appointment information, Hayes was very excited and couldn't wait to make an appointment for a later date. He directly set the meeting time with Ning Chen and Song Xiyun for that evening.

As the time they agreed on approached, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun took their private flying car and flew directly to Hayes' home.

Flying cars are indeed a very disruptive invention. Not only do they save ordinary cars from the trouble of driving on the road, but they can also be parked very conveniently. In terms of traffic efficiency, it can be said to be the most efficient means of transportation.

Ning Chen and Hayes' homes were not far from each other. It only took a few minutes' drive for the flying car to successfully arrive at Hayes' home.

Hayes had already opened the permissions for Ning Chen's flying car in advance, allowing Ning Chen and Song Xiyun to come in directly through the window, even saving the step of going upstairs.

"Mr. Hayes, please forgive us for coming to your house so rashly. This is a very rude behavior in the previous Blue Star civilization."

"Haha, Mr. Chen Ning, I also know about these etiquettes of the Blue Star civilization, but they are meaningless to us. Please make yourself at home. I am the only one in my house, so you can be as casual as you are at home."

Ning Chen and Song Xiyun simply didn't bother to be polite with Hayes and started to casually tour Hayes' house.

Hayes's home is indeed very luxurious. Even in the wealthy area of ​​Mars, Hayes' house is considered to be very huge. With the same price on Blue Star, he could even buy a small town.

Hayes also behaved very enthusiastically, which made it hard for Ning Chen and Song Xiyun to imagine that they were getting along with an alien civilization labeled "cold".

"Mr. Hayes, I think the emotional factors in your body right now are far beyond your normal level, right? According to my understanding of your civilization, this is simply impossible to achieve under normal circumstances."

"As expected of Mr. Chen Ning, there is nothing I can hide from you. Just as you said, we artificially injected some substances into our bodies that enhance our emotional factors. This is strictly prohibited in our civilization because it will cause us to act irrationally.

"But I still like this human state very much, and this dosage is completely allowed in Blue Star civilization, because the emotional factors in our bodies are far lower than the values ​​of normal Blue Star people."
