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

Chapter 764 Firmly Believe in Yourself!
This phenomenon surprised everyone.

Judging from the soil and the current button marks.

This button must be 10,000 years old.

Ten thousand years is a very long time.

Humanity has only been developing for a few years, how could we possibly have anything human-made on other distant planets?

Does this mean that 100 years ago, human technology had already reached a certain level that allowed us to come here?
However, this is clearly inconsistent with the cultures on Earth.

Because ten thousand years ago, humans may have still been in the ape stage.

Zhou Quanmiao and Professor Wang immediately found Su Chen and explained their findings to him in detail.

As Su Chen flipped through the documents, he listened to the two people's conversation and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he asked a question.

Could what they found be a button, or something else?
This question surprised both Professor Wang and Zhou Quanmiao.

After several studies, they confirmed that it was indeed a button.

But after Su Chen raised this question, they were no longer so sure.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Su Chen reluctantly stood up and went to the research lab with them.

He wanted to see for himself whether this thing was actually a button.

Although the information includes a photo and the shape is indeed that of a button, it is more accurately described as a small, round object.

But this small object could very well be something else; how can we prove that it is indeed a button?

What makes the experts able to verify this?

Upon arriving at the research institute, Su Chen gathered the experts together and asked them for their reasons.

The experts' reasoning is very simple: this thing is extremely similar to a button.

Su Chen shook his head, directly overturning their conclusion.

"This is on another planet, so don't fixate on Earth. Expand your thinking and let your imagination run wild."

"Let's continue our research and think about whether it's something else entirely."

Does it have any other uses?

At this point, Su Chen paused for a moment, then continued, "Don't rush to conclusions. Since we've unearthed something like this, there must be other things as well. Let's keep digging."

"Be more serious and careful, and dig around the area as well; you might find something else."

Upon hearing that the surrounding area would also be excavated...

Zhou Quanmiao frowned and began to complain.

"The place is too big. Digging from the ground down will waste a lot of time."

Su Chen gave him an idea: they could extend the excavation outwards from where they had already dug, and since they had already dug out a cave, there was no need to dig from top to bottom.

Zhou Quanmiao thought this method was good, but it also carried certain risks.

Digging into the surrounding area could very likely cause a collapse.

Although they have considerable experience, they can also take some precautions.

But what if something goes wrong?

He voiced his concerns, and Su Chen gave him a disapproving look before falling silent.

The atmosphere became slightly awkward, so Professor Wang quickly tried to smooth things over.

"There shouldn't be any major problems, so don't worry unnecessarily."

After Su Chen left, Professor Wang began to complain about Zhou Quanmiao.

"You shouldn't have said those things just now."

“What is not dangerous? Just because it is dangerous, you won’t do it and you’ll push the task onto Su Chen.”

Zhou Quanmiao felt a little embarrassed by what was said and expressed her thoughts with a sense of grievance.

He was simply explaining the dangers to Su Chen; he wasn't trying to shirk responsibility.

The two argued for a while, then stopped talking about it and went about their business.

Although dangers may arise, they cannot stop their work.

All we can do is try our best to ensure safety.

To prevent any danger from occurring, Zhou Quanmiao specifically asked the work team to think of a place to dig first.

After this area is excavated, we will start excavating in other areas.

This way, the chance of collapse can be avoided.

As time went on, Zhou Quanmiao and his team unearthed some more small items underground.

These things all contain metallic substances.

Different shapes.

Because they had been buried underground for a long time, many of the items had been corroded, were broken and incomplete, and it was impossible to tell what they were.

Many things look like buttons, but they aren't.

Rather, it's because they've been eroded for so long that their size has gradually decreased, resulting in this state.

This also confirms Su Chen's previous deduction.

However, this still proves that humans may have lived there a long time ago.

Because these iron substances are the best proof.

Although we don't know what it's for, it's obvious that this iron substance is manufactured.

Besides humans, the only other species that possess this technology are extraterrestrials.

After collecting these items, everyone began the testing.

They eventually confirmed that these things did not come from humans, but from extraterrestrial beings.

The most compelling evidence they found was the presence of a particular element on an object.

This element does not exist on Earth at all.

Things that don't exist on Earth must come from outer space.

Even if the inhabitants of this alien planet are still the same humans as them, it can still be attributed to aliens.

Zhou Quanmiao and Professor Wang were deeply impressed; they discovered that Su Chen's deductive reasoning ability was exceptional.

They didn't previously think there could be any important discoveries on this planet.

But now that they've discovered so much, perhaps if they keep digging deeper, they might find even more useful information.

These things were unearthed 10,000 meters underground.

This proves that there are historical patterns of change on large planets, possibly the earliest rules governing these changes.

Digging deeper, we may find even more profound changes.

Zhou Quanmiao and his team threw themselves into the research once again.

Su Chen wasn't idle either; he helped Tang Yumo deal with some base-related issues.

After finishing his work, Su Chen found Yuan Jingna.

Su Chen had never forgotten Yuan Jingna's planting research and had taken it very seriously.

When he had free time, he would mostly think about the questions raised by Yuan Jingna.

The planting problem raised by Yuan Jingna is very difficult.

Su Chen thought about it for several days, but couldn't come up with any particularly good way to change it.

After Yuan Jingna arrived, Su Chen asked him if there had been any progress in his research.

Yuan Jingna sat down wearily next to Su Chen, her brows furrowed in worry, sighing repeatedly.

"There's been absolutely no progress. Do you think I'm wrong?"

"We shouldn't have conducted this kind of experiment in the first place; it's based on a flawed theory."

If the theory is flawed, no amount of experimentation will be successful.

Su Chen smiled and comforted her, saying that his idea was excellent.

Yuan Jingna rolled her eyes and said dejectedly, "My idea is so good, when are you going to help me research it?"

Su Chen took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I just finished other things. I'll study it with you tomorrow."

Yuan Jingna immediately beamed with joy.

With Su Chen's involvement, there might be new progress. If Su Chen still can't figure it out, then he'll give up.

the next day.

Su Chen then joined the research.

The experts were very excited to see Su Chen arrive, and they all rushed to ask him questions.

Su Chen didn't do much research that day; he mainly answered everyone's questions.

At the same time, we also discussed with everyone the various challenges we are currently researching.

The most important thing is that plant seeds simply cannot survive in rocks, so Su Chen made a special trip to their research lab.

There are several large rocks in the laboratory, with small holes drilled into them.

These small holes contained some seeds, most of which were already dead.

The newly put-in animals did not die, but they did not survive for very long.

Su Chen asked the experts, "Did you water these seeds?"

Since the rocks don't have enough water, they can provide a water source.

The experts nodded; they had also conducted experiments in this area, but still couldn't get the seeds to survive.

Although the seeds absorb water, they also need other elements besides water, but the rocks cannot provide them.

Su Chen closed his eyes and pondered earnestly. After much thought, he came up with a solution.

First, we need to know what elements the seeds need.

Then, it's about providing him with these elements.

These elements are not present in the rock.

So what is the solution to this problem?

How can the method enable seeds to grow without these elements?
There is actually another method.

That is to allow these elements to be present within the rock.

But this is not the direction that Su Chen and his team are researching.

Their research focuses on growing plants on rocks; they don't alter the elements of the rocks.

Because the elements of the rock have been changed, it is no longer a rock.

However, even if you change some of the characteristics of a seed, it is still a seed.

Su Chen's method was extremely simple: let the seeds adapt to the elements of the rocks.

As for how to adapt, that requires experts to study, improve, and perform gene mutations.

Su Chen wasn't idle either; he was also conducting some experiments.

His experiments differed from those of the experts.

The experts were conducting the experiments he mentioned, while Su Chen was conducting rock experiments.

So-called rock experiments involve causing certain changes in rocks.

He wanted to understand the properties of rocks so that the seeds could conform to certain characteristics of those rocks.

A few days later, the experts finally made some progress.

They discovered a plant.

This plant originally lived in desert areas, where it required very little water and very few elements.

In addition, their genes have changed.

This plant can grow simply by absorbing water, so they started experimenting with it.

Place the seed over the small hole in the rock, and then wait quietly.

Because the seeds oxidize when exposed to air, they are covered with a layer of rock powder.

A few days later.

The seeds failed to germinate, and the experts were utterly dejected.

Has the experiment failed again?
After waiting a few more days and confirming that the seeds could no longer germinate, they cleaned away the rock dust and went to check on the seeds.

I saw that the seed had sprouted a tiny bud, but then it died for some reason.

The experts were both excited and somewhat saddened.

The only good thing is that their research direction seems to be correct.

However, a problem arose in one place.

The experts called Su Chen over so he could take a look.

In fact, experts have already reached a conclusion that it is very likely that the rock powder is too hard, which prevents the seeds from emerging from the powder.

Simply put, the seed may have suffocated.

Su Chen agreed with them on this point, and the experts continued to study how to make the seeds have stronger vitality and how to make the seeds break through the rock layer and grow from below.

If it can grow, there may be hope.

After several more days of research, they finally managed to get the seeds to sprout from the rock powder.

However, the seeds still died after a few days, indicating that there were still some problems.

This problem is very difficult to solve, and even Su Chen couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

We can only brainstorm and try different methods.

After a month of work, they are still stuck on the problems they encountered.

this day.

Tang Yumo had nothing to do, so she came to find Su Chen.

He saw the group of people busy working, but he didn't say anything and just watched with his hands behind his back.

He also knew what Yuan Jingna and the others were researching recently, and Tang Yumo was quite interested in their research project.

He had even thought about their research while he was working.

This study has been found to have a certain relationship with genes.

Gene mutations can occur not only in the genes of organisms, but also in various other objects.

Of course, that's another type of gene.

Tang Yumo and her colleagues had previously researched whether it was possible to make the human body as hard as rocks and other stones, and had conducted corresponding experiments.

Therefore, some research has been conducted on the properties of stones.

They studied the combination of stones and humans, while Yuan Jingna studied the combination of stones and plants.

They have something in common.

Seeing the problems they encountered, Tang Yumo couldn't help but start to ponder them as well.

Suddenly, he remembered his previous research materials.

He tapped Su Chen on the back, startling Su Chen who was engrossed in his research.

He was quite surprised to see Tang Yumo when he turned around.

Tang Yumo smiled and chatted casually with Su Chen for a few minutes before shifting the topic to planting.

“We have done a study on stones and people before, and I think some of the ideas can be applied to this.”

Su Chen nodded and asked Tang Yumo to retrieve the data.

The data is all on Earth 2.

Tang Yumo first found Wang Jianfeng, and then Wang Jianfeng gave the information to Tang Yumo.

Tang Yumo excitedly brought the documents to Su Chen.

Su Chen carefully looked through the documents, nodding frequently.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yumo and her team have made such great progress in their genetic research.

The information recorded above was indeed helpful to their research.

Su Chen immediately called over the other experts and asked them to analyze and study the issue with him.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, they made some discoveries and immediately devoted themselves to the research.
