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

Su Chen couldn't help but smack his lips and take a closer look at the creature in front of him.

Apart from being about the same height as a human, it doesn't resemble a human at all.

As for whether they were aliens, Su Chen thought it was highly unlikely.

According to his judgment.

Aliens should also be creatures with hands and feet, and be bipedal beings.

However, the creature before us lacks both of these characteristics.

Without these two characteristics, how would they construct alien probes and spaceships?

Analyzing it from this point alone.

The possibility that this creature is an alien is extremely small.

He didn't know how Professor Wang and the others deduced that. Was it because he had distinctive features?

Seeing that Su Chen remained silent, Tang Yumo took over the deduction data from Professor Wang and the others.

Su Chen looked at it carefully, his brows furrowing slightly.

The materials detailed Professor Wang's and his colleagues' inferences, but these inferences are not convincing and contain many doubts.

He put down the documents and yawned.

Have you made any new discoveries?

Tang Yumo shook her head.

His concerns were the same as those of the experts before him: since the organism was frozen, it was highly likely to contain bacteria and viruses, so he dared not take any rash actions.

Now that Su Chen has arrived, all the problems have been solved.

Su Chen and Tang Yumo conducted research together.

First, a closed space needs to be set up, and the procedure is the same as last time. Then, the organisms are studied.

Dissect organisms and study their interiors.

By examining his internal organs and various physical conditions, we can infer his living environment and lifestyle.

After the dissection and the study were completed, everyone was extremely disappointed.

Judging from the various discoveries, this creature should be a marine organism, and definitely not an alien.

Judging from his brain nerves, he has a very small nervous system. Such a small nervous system results in limited intelligence, making it impossible for him to reach a certain level.

Since his intelligence is limited, he cannot develop anything particularly high-tech.

Moreover, its organs are extremely similar to those of fish, making it a predominantly aquatic organism.

Without water, it is very likely to die.

For aquatic organisms, it is even more difficult to conduct scientific research, because many materials change when they come into contact with water.

Especially when soaked in water for a long time, it can cause all sorts of problems.

Changing these problems is a very difficult task.

They also made a point of observing the creatures' appearances, noting that there were no signs of friction on their surfaces.

Human fingers can develop various marks from work, such as calluses on the hands of manual laborers.

For example, some light workers may use computers, which can cause some wear and tear on their fingerprints.

However, they found no signs of wear and tear on this place.

Judging from this point of view, they are not aliens.

If he were an alien, he would definitely have to do some work. Even if he were a relatively noble figure among aliens, his life would inevitably experience some wear and tear.

But now they found nothing; the surface was so smooth it looked as if there had never been any movement.

There are many other aspects that indicate that this creature is significantly different from aliens.

Some experts have also raised questions.

Most of the experts who raised questions were those who had previously worked with Professor Wang and his team on research; these experts possess unique thinking abilities.

One of the experts said to Su Chen, "Are our mindsets fixed?"

Why do aliens need to resemble humans? Why can't aliens live in water? Why do aliens need to work?

"Couldn't they use other methods to work? I think aliens and humans are completely different. Maybe they live in a different way, and their society is different from ours."

He then gave a few specific examples.

This example comes from the Zerg in the movie.

He used the Zerg as an example to illustrate the differences among aliens.

Humans can build skyscrapers, but aliens don't need that; they only need a cave.

Moreover, they don't need to work; even if they do, they have dedicated staff to do so.

Su Chen listened to the experts' doubts and nodded with a smile.

What they said wasn't without merit, and Su Chen didn't want to rigidify his thinking.

After the experts finished speaking, he asked a question.

“What you say makes a lot of sense, but we are not completely ignorant about aliens.”

"We have obtained quite a few alien spacecraft, and inside the spacecraft we found some books and writings left by aliens."

"Although we don't know what it's talking about, it proves that aliens and humans have similarities."

"For example, inside the aircraft, we saw rooms and rest areas. They also need beds, and even tables and chairs."

"What does this mean?"

"This shows that they need to do things, they need to lie down, they need to rest."

"If their size is significantly different from ours, like the creature we are seeing now."

"If he is an alien, then their daily necessities should not be the same as those of humans. But if they are the same as humans, then their appearance should be very similar to that of humans."

One expert immediately raised an objection.

I disagree with your point of view.

"Take the simplest example, a chair. Can't this creature sit on a chair?"

"Perhaps he has his own unique way of resting, his own unique way of sitting, standing and walking."

"Your thinking is still too fixed. You always think about aliens with a human mindset, which is a fatal mistake."

Su Chen and the experts engaged in a heated debate, but neither side could convince the other.

That's nothing.

On these kinds of issues, people often argue and it's often difficult to determine a winner; in the end, we can only wait for time to prove everything.

With that matter settled, Su Chen and Tang Yumo went to the alien spacecraft.

The aircraft, like before, was difficult to open.

Moreover, this aircraft is quite different from previous aircraft. According to experts' tests, it is very likely that this aircraft is equipped with a self-destruct device.

If forcibly opened, the aircraft will self-destruct, so no one dares to open it rashly, and there is no particularly good way to do so.

After Su Chen arrived, the experts explained the situation to him.

Su Chen was also at a loss.

If there really is a self-destruct device, then they have no way to open it.

But just looking at it like this isn't a solution. Su Chen tried some gentler methods, but none of them worked.

Finally, Su Chen ordered the doors to be forcibly opened.

Just in case, he also told people to keep their distance.

Before the door could even be opened, the aircraft self-destructed.

The roar echoed throughout the base, attracting everyone's attention.

Thinking something had happened, everyone quickly retreated to the safety passage.

Much later, someone brought news that the alien spacecraft had self-destructed.

People came out one after another, some even wanting to see the scene after the alien spacecraft self-destructed.

However, because Su Chen placed the aircraft outside the base, no one could get out.
The aircraft spontaneously combusted and exploded, but the force of the explosion was not enough to completely destroy the aircraft.

Some things still remain.

Su Chen and his team collected and studied these remnants, and discovered quite a few things.

These things weren't significantly different from what Su Chen and his team had discovered before, which sparked a connection in Su Chen's mind.

Did all the alien spacecraft they discovered come from the same alien?

Otherwise, why would they be so similar?
Based on some of the remnants of the spacecraft, it can be determined that the aliens on this spacecraft are not closely related to the creature they discovered earlier.

Because there is a very large difference between the two.

Based on current findings, it can be determined that the creature in question is not an alien.

Because his body and some of the settings inside the aircraft are completely opposite.

However, some experts raised other ideas, and Su Chen was unwilling to argue with them anymore.

Until we see real, living aliens, such arguments are useless and unconvincing.

On the wreckage of the aircraft, Su Chen and his team discovered something interesting.

The starship was more robust than they had imagined, not because it was exceptionally robust, but because it was inferior to other alien spacecraft.

The reason they are of poor quality is because they judge them by the energy of the explosion.

The explosion wasn't very strong, but it almost destroyed the aircraft.

In other words, this is a relatively primitive spacecraft, or the aliens who built this spacecraft may be primitive aliens.

Or perhaps, they are a relatively ordinary force among aliens.

Just like the spheres of influence of humans.

For example, the interstellar warships built by Su Chen and his team belong to the most powerful category.

However, besides Su Chen and his group, others can also build interstellar warships.

The interstellar warships they built were relatively weak.

After finishing their business here, Su Chen and Tang Yumo went to Yuan Jingna's place.

Su Chen wasn't really interested in Yuan Jingna's discovery.

He had considerable confidence in Yuan Jingna regarding plants.

He believed that Yuan Jingna was fully capable of resolving this matter.

However, Tang Yumo insisted on coming over to see, so he readily agreed.

When the two arrived at the research lab, Yuan Jingna was having a heated discussion with the experts.

The reason for the discussion is that Yuan Jingna and some experts believe that the plant they discovered should be the origin of all things, and that all plants differentiated from the plant they discovered.

Another group of experts, however, thinks differently.

They believe it is a relatively ancient organism, not as alarmist as Yuan Jingna described.

As soon as Su Chen and Tang Yumo arrived, the experts immediately surrounded them, explaining their theories.

Tang Yumo felt a bit of a headache listening to this, because he didn't know much about plants, only a little bit.

However, the experts were using technical terms, so he was confused and could only nod, unwilling to argue with them.

He felt that everyone's words were very insightful.

Su Chen listened attentively to the experts' analysis.

After the experts finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Take me to see that plant."

The group led Su Chen to see the plant and explained their discovery to him.

This plant was discovered 20,000 meters below the ice layer.

Because it was frozen, it was preserved relatively well.

However, due to the passage of time and the freezing process, its appearance has changed slightly, and its color is not as vibrant. Nevertheless, one can still see what it looked like when it was in its most active period.

Standing before the plant, Su Chen examined it closely, remaining silent for a long time.

This plant surprised Su Chen quite a bit.

He thought it was a plant that bore fruit.

But now, it looks like a common weed, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that it's not the same as a weed.

Su Chen had seen many of these kinds of plants; they were as numerous as hairs on a cow on Earth.

Su Chen looked at the experts and said, "You've been studying for so many days, have you made any discoveries? Have you collected any internal elements?"

The experts nodded, and someone handed the research data to Su Chen, who carefully reviewed it.

The leaves and roots of this plant contain many elements, the levels of which basically encompass their understanding.

It was astonishing that such a small plant contained so many elements; it was truly astonishing.

He began to understand why Yuan Jingna called this plant the origin of all things.

Other plants also contain many elements, but not as comprehensively.

Other plants may lack some elements to varying degrees, but this plant contains almost all of them.

Everything they can think of exists, and there are also elements they don't know about.

Yuan Jingna then told Su Chen about another major discovery.

They discovered that although this plant does not bear fruit, it can still spread.

Its method of transmission is relatively simple.

Yuan Jingna and her colleagues conducted an experiment where they broke off leaves from plants and placed them in a certain location. Before long, another type of plant would grow in that location.

This is an experiment they conducted using physical objects.

Therefore, Yuan Jingna is extremely firm in her deduction about the origin of all things.

Su Chen never expected that such a small plant would have such a great reproductive capacity.

What's most frightening is that its reproductive ability is not limited to the ground; it can also grow in water and other environments.

It simply cannot grow in the air.

Su Chen had a discussion with them.

He did not endorse either side, but instead expressed some of his own views.

His view was ambiguous, agreeing with Yuan Jingna's theory of the origin of all things while also supporting the negative conclusions reached by other experts. (End of Chapter)
