I ask you to design equipment, but you do science fiction for me?

Chapter 701: What is right or wrong?

There are many trees on Earth 2, and these trees are obviously different from the trees on Earth.

And they have many characteristics, one of which is that some of the trees are extremely hard.

Harder than iron.

Because Su Chen had just arrived on Earth 2, he was not particularly familiar with the situation of the trees.

There is a lack of plant experts on Earth-2, so research in this area is very rare.

Now that Yuan Jingna is here, he can start doing this.

So far, none of the trees they have access to have found any wood that matches what they have dug up.

Su Chen handed this matter over to Yuan Jingna, asking her to find trees suitable for the excavated wood as soon as possible.

Su Chen took people to the scene to take a look again.

There were many people digging at the scene, and everyone was holding small brushes and carefully searching for useful things in the soil.

After watching for a while, Su Chen went back to do his own thing.

Yuan Jingna also started her own work.

This time he brought several very professional plant experts, and they worked together to investigate all the tree species on Earth-2.

They were returning to Earth-2 for the first time and were completely shocked to see such a large planet.

The jungle in front of me is endless and green like the sea.

They analysed all the trees, took samples back for testing and wrote reports.

It took them nearly two months to collect all the trees on Earth 2 and conduct relevant experimental tests, and they found that dozens of them were extremely hard.

Two of these trees are harder than steel.

They think that this kind of tree can be used to make some special things, even in interstellar battleships or certain equipment.

This discovery made everyone very happy.

Because they had been looking for something harder than steel, and they unexpectedly found it on Earth-2.

And there are still many things on Earth 2 that they can mine and reuse after mining, which will give them more materials.

Regrettably, among all the trees, they did not find any tree that was the same as the piece of wood, which made Yuan Jingna feel helpless.

He reported his recent work situation to Su Chen and explained the situation to Su Chen.

After listening to this, Su Chen frowned and remained silent.

Since no tree identical to this wood has been found now, it means that there once was a tree similar to this wood.

But over time, this tree became extinct.

There is another possibility.

Yuan Jingna and her team did not investigate very carefully and may have missed something.

Su Chen glanced at Yuan Jingna and said with a smile: "Inspect the entire planet carefully again and check all the places."

"You must have been observing the jungle before. Now you need to observe all the trees on the entire planet."

"Not just the jungle, but other places should also be investigated, as long as there are trees."

"It could be under the cliff, or somewhere unknown."

Yuan Jingna smiled bitterly and nodded, then said, "I also think that it is possible that I missed something, but it would take too much time to investigate in this way."

"Earth 2 is so big, if we want to check every part of it, I don't know how long it will take."

Su Chen was not in a hurry and let him take his time.

Besides, they have the relevant equipment and can use it to conduct coverage detection. They can go wherever there are trees, without having to observe with the naked eye.

In fact, it is very convenient.

It's just that Earth-2 is too big, which will take them more time.

Now they have plenty of time and are not in a hurry.

Seeing that Su Chen insisted on doing so, Yuan Jingna could only do as he instructed.

Of course, he wouldn't put all his hopes on this.

What if that kind of tree has died out?

While he was leading the plant experts in the investigation, he also asked Wang Jianfeng to speed up the excavation work.

It would be best if we could find more useful clues so that they can save some trouble.

Wang Jianfeng was not responsible for the excavation work. The person in charge of the excavation work was Zhou Quanmiao.

He specifically found Zhou Quanmiao and asked him to dig as soon as possible. He also specifically asked Zhou Quanmiao whether this kind of tree was dead.

According to Zhou Quanmiao's judgment, this kind of tree should have died out.

As far as he knew, there were no such trees on Earth-2, and during the excavation process they also discovered that such trees were extremely rare.

Within the range of their excavation, they only found one piece, which shows that this kind of thing is relatively rare.

This kind of thing is rare to begin with, and coupled with its age, the possibility of extinction is very high.

Research on that piece of wood has also begun, and the person conducting the research is Tang Yumo.

Tang Yumo conducted relevant tests on the wood and found that the wood was nearly a thousand years old.

As to what it is used for, it is still unclear.

Tang Yumo felt that she should continue to dig deeper, as only by digging deeper could she discover more things.

Tang Yumo and others had a disagreement on this matter.

Zhou Quanmiao and a few others felt that the surface had not been fully excavated yet and should continue excavating. It would not be too late to continue excavating after they finished their current work.

But Tang Yumo couldn't wait any longer and insisted on digging it out now.

The two of them had a big fight over this, but fortunately Professor Wang was there to mediate, so the fight wasn't intense.

As the manager of the base, Tang Yumo actually had the right to directly order Zhou Quanmiao to do this, but he didn't want to make things too awkward, nor did he want to embarrass Zhou Quanmiao, so he didn't argue with him too much.

After leaving, Tang Yumo went to find Su Chen.

He wanted to talk to Su Chen about this matter.

If Su Chen agreed, Zhou Quanmiao would have nothing to say.

Even if Zhou Quanmiao was unhappy in his heart, he would definitely not say it out loud.

When she found Su Chen, Tang Yumo told him what she was thinking.

Su Chen had no objection.

Tang Yumo frowned and said, "But Zhou Quanmiao is not very willing. Can you talk to him about it?"

Su Chen glanced at Tang Yumo and said with a smile: "Go find him and tell him what I said."

Tang Yumo nodded and left with a smile.

When he saw Zhou Quanmiao again, he held his head high and directly used Su Chen to suppress Zhou Quanmiao.

Zhou Quanmiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, and could only obey orders.

In fact, after Tang Yumo left, he felt a little regretful. He was just a temporary worker and there was no need to be too stiff with Tang Yumo.

What should I do if someone is unhappy?

Professor Wang also said that he was too impulsive just now.

The two of them planned to go to Tang Yumo to apologize in the evening, but they didn't expect Tang Yumo to bring help directly.

Zhou Quanmiao smiled and said, "Since Su Chen has agreed, then we will listen to you and start construction immediately."

With the order given, the excavation work continued.

This time the excavation was 2km deep.

Today, they are still digging.

An expert suddenly found a skeleton underground.

The pile of white bones did not scare him, but instead made him feel excited.

He immediately shouted, "Stop, stop, stop, don't move. I found something important. Come and have a look. This looks like the skeleton of an animal."

When they heard that there were animal skeletons, everyone came over immediately.

Everyone knows what the discovery of bones means; it means there were living creatures here in the past.

This is a significant discovery.

When everyone gathered around the skeleton, their faces were filled with shock.

Because the skeleton looks almost the same as human skeleton.

Someone raised a question.

"Did humans live here before?"

Another expert pondered and said, "Not necessarily. Maybe it's an ape or a monkey."

Everyone suddenly thought of animals like monkeys.

Their skeletons are not much different from humans.

Especially since apes can walk upright, they might have looked like what they are now after evolution.

No matter how you look at it, this incident is an extremely shocking thing for everyone.

They thought about digging something out from the ground, but they didn't expect to find bones.

This has great significance for their subsequent work.

It also has a deeper impact on their understanding of Earth-2.

They used to think that there were no living things on Earth-2, but now that the skeletons have been found, it proves that there used to be living things on Earth-2, and perhaps even other types of life.

Now the bones have been buried for so many years that I don’t know why they can still be preserved.

But everyone knows that the bones cannot be moved now.

If moved, the skeleton might be weathered by the wind, so they immediately arranged a special glass cabinet on the spot to wrap the entire skeleton, and then built a room outside the glass cabinet.

After all safety measures were completed, Su Chen also learned the news.

He and Tang Yumo arrived at the scene, which had already been secured.

After opening the door, Su Chen and Tang Yumo saw the skeletons inside.

The two people were also very shocked when they saw it for the first time, because the skeleton was so similar to a human.

Su Chen frowned and said, "Has it been tested? What is this?"

Zhou Quanmiao shook his head.

"Not yet. Because it has been buried for too long, we are afraid that it will be weathered and damaged if moved, so we haven't conducted any inspections yet."

"Look, what should we do next?"

Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "First, take a full-scale photo of the skeleton and take photos of its current structure. Then we can take samples for analysis."

Several experts carefully gathered in front of the glass and took pictures of the skeleton from all angles.

After taking the photos, some experts put on gloves and began to study the skeleton.

Su Chen didn't study because he still had a lot of things to do.

The preliminary construction of the base has been completed, but the offensive and defensive systems still need to be improved.

It is relatively easy to establish bases and build offensive and defensive systems on other planets.

Because there are fewer planets, but Earth 2 is different. Earth 2 is too large, and the previous attack and defense system is not enough to cover the entire planet.

More importantly, Earth-2 is too important.

So Su Chen prepared to update the attack and defense system so that Earth 2 would have stronger defense and attack power.

Not only do we have to fight against aliens, but we also have to fight against some humans with evil intentions.

Su Chen was busy with these things, so the research on the history of Earth 2 was left to others.

In fact, the people who studied the history of Earth 2 were Professor Wang and Zhou Quanmiao.

Tang Yumo was just assisting from the side.

To be more precise, he had nothing to do and came over to see if he had any ideas.

For example, when digging deeper into the opinion, Tang Yumo felt that the progress was too slow, so she asked two people to conduct in-depth research.

Unexpectedly, this idea really helped them gain something important.

Zhou Quanmiao was standing aside, feeling deeply moved.

"I tried to stop Tang Yumo at the beginning, but it seems I was wrong."

Professor Wang said calmly: "You are not wrong. We did not say that we would not dig further. We just delayed it."

Zhou Quanmiao still shook his head.

He felt that Tang Yumo was right in this matter and he was wrong.

He glanced at Professor Wang and said, "We need to hurry up and study it. Based on the reports we have received, I personally think that the skeleton cannot be human."

"If it were humans, we wouldn't have found so little."

"If highly intelligent life exists, we will surely discover it on a large scale."

"But now only a few small things have been found, so I think the skeleton may be an ape creature."

"They may be human creatures that were about to evolve into humans. They may have developed certain thoughts and their own way of life. Unfortunately, they encountered some kind of disaster before they could complete their evolution and died."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Professor Wang and said, "Let's not wait here anymore, let's continue digging."

"If we can excavate more bones, it will be of great significance."

Professor Wang asked a question, what if no other skeletons were excavated.

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, denying Professor Wang's question.

"impossible."

"How could there be only one skeleton?"

"Since there is one skeleton, there must be a second one. After all, this creature cannot be unique."

Professor Wang nodded and agreed.

But he thought of the insect they had discovered before, and that insect was also unique.

And other things discovered on Earth 2 are also unique, so he personally believes that this situation has occurred.

In the next few days, experts conducted various research and tests on the bones.

Eventually, they determined it was an ape-like creature.

The time of death should be 3000 years.

What was unexpected to everyone was that no other bones or other things were found during the subsequent excavation process.

This left everyone puzzled.

Since this skeleton has been discovered, it must have lived before and must have left some traces. Why is there nothing now?
In their opinion, this skeleton should have reproductive properties.

But now only one skeleton has been found, why are the other skeletons missing?

Did it disappear because it was too long ago, or is there only one such creature?
