17. Organic life and inorganic life

Frustration is a dead branch that falls in autumn, seemingly losing its vitality, but it can light a spark. The topic of war is such a Mars, and how can it not be frightening that the birdman is clearly declaring war on the earth? However, after only a moment of frustration, Qu Zhaodi's mind jumped into a spark of inspiration to help him drive away the hesitation, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and he clapped his hands and laughed.

"The earth is facing annihilation, and you are so happy that you are not afraid of the impending doom? Stupid inferior creatures, it's hard to understand! The birdman gave him a confused laugh.

Qu Zhaodi not only did not fall into despair, but was also as happy as a farmer who had just reaped a bumper harvest, and replied: "Thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson and clarifying two important points related to the universe. As you say, this is a landmark conversation that will mark an epoch-making mark in the history of the development of space science on Earth! ”

"What do you mean? What two points do you think are so important? "The Birdman senses that he seems to be underestimating the intelligence of the other party, and based on his past research on the Earth, the only group he admires is the Earth scientists. Excluding those people, there should be no "smart" earthlings.

Qu Zhaodi intends to answer the birdman's question seriously, and this is only the second time in his life that he has given such a serious speech. The first time was when he was in college, when he had to stand in front of the mentor group in a suit and tie to defend his graduation thesis. The only reason he was forced to endure that grievance was that he had to get a diploma from Stanford University to give an account of the money he had squandered over the past four years.

Qu Zhaodi said: "Listen up. First, apart from the Earth, there are indeed other galactic civilizations in the universe. In the past, we thought that only water and oxygen could sustain life, but that was a false and even absurd understanding. Second, if life is not produced by water, it cannot make up proteins. Protein is the foundation for the healthy growth of all organisms, building a great wall of immunity for them. If there is no protein, the cell will die, and it will participate in all the life activities of the organism. But the facts you let me see prove that life can still appear tenaciously in the space without water and oxygen, and it can be inferred that there is not only organic life in the universe, but also inorganic life, and the hydrogen proton people on the dark matter star belong to the category of inorganic life! ”

Qu Zhaodi's statement shocked the birdman.

"Organic and inorganic? These two concepts that you have summed up are really interesting. To be honest, before the discovery of the existence of the Earth in the solar system, this amazing planet, we never knew that life could continue through a carbon matrix, which was called an organism. But whether organic or inorganic, we are all orders of magnitude stronger than you, and you are not afraid of me, begging me for mercy, and still arrogant like this? ”

Qu Zhaodi fought back without blinking, "Afraid? That's an exaggeration. No matter how powerful you are, you have been floating in the universe for tens of billions of years, even after tens of billions of years of evolution, you are still gas, I need to be afraid of your hands or feet? ”

"You ......"

In his words, he stabbed the birdman into the death hole. Suddenly, the arrogance of the birdman receded like a tide, but it was a pity that the color could not be reflected in the face synthesized by light, otherwise it would be possible to know whether the face had turned red or white.

"Hey......"

Finally, the birdman let out a long sigh, and his voice came far, far away, like an old man who had experienced vicissitudes, and he was about to cry sadly when he recalled the unbearable past for the first time in his life.

Qu Zhaodi poured a basin of cold water on his head, "I don't think you should waste your time on performance, this set doesn't work for me." Tell me about the second half of the night on your dark star. That's the part I'm interested in. ”

He always behaved calmly, and the birdman secretly admired him, but his desire to perform remained undiminished.

"If the first half of the night in the singularity is long, the second half is even harder. At least in the first half of the night, the microorganisms have only a rudimentary consciousness, and rational thinking is an existence outside of the individual for them, so they have no troubles. But in the second half of the night......"

At this point, he let go of the display with both hands and covered his face in pain. The silver light on his body also suddenly dimmed, giving people the feeling that the battery was about to run out.

Although the contact time has not been long, Qu Zhaodi also has a certain understanding of the behemoth in front of him, and knows that every action he does is imitation, and now he is showing sadness, probably imitating which earth actor he is imitating.

Birdman was a little disappointed that he didn't get a response from the audience, but the plight of the dark star was not fictional, so the only organ in his body, the brain, was filled with real bitterness.

"The Great Magellanic Galaxy is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, and it is also a young galaxy that is going through a turbulent and long process of star birth. The presence of each star means that its core is undergoing a high-energy nuclear fusion reaction, which requires the participation of hydrogen. In addition to this, when energy is transferred from the inside to the outside, the surface of the star emits ultra-intense radiation waves. Take the sun as an example, if you open your mouth, the amount of radiation it releases is equivalent to the explosion of 90 billion hydrogen bombs, and the first hydrogen bomb you Chinese tested in 1967 was just one, and the TNT equivalent was 3.3 million tons. In the Great Magellanic Galaxy, stars are constantly appearing or dying, and when the nuclear energy is exhausted, the stars can explode into supernovae. To date, the largest supernova has released the equivalent of TNT from the Sun in 70,000 years, and that damn big creature is less than ten AU away from the dark star.

"Unlike your Earth, dark stars are not protected by an atmosphere, only hydrogen and a small amount of rare gases exist here, and hydrogen is also plundered by other celestial bodies from time to time to serve as raw materials for nuclear fusion, so the gases that act as an umbrella are often in a state of thinning as if they have disappeared. We are not able to resist the impact of radiation waves with celestial bodies. Of course, the above is not enough to threaten the survival of dark stars, and the most terrifying thing is that our orbit is too close to the super black hole in the middle of the Great Magellanic Cloud, and it is very vulnerable to the gravitational pull of the black hole. The movement of other celestial bodies invisibly creates a thrust that pushes us to continue to glide towards the black hole. Our orbital eccentricity is gradually increasing, and the hour-angular coordinates are constantly changing, and in the long run, within 300 Earth years, dark stars will be dragged into a super black hole, with no hope of escape. ”

"That's a bit miserable, and it's no wonder you monsters are trying to reach into other planets while you're still alive." Qu Zhaodi understood the situation of the dark star, and although he was sympathetic, he could not ignore the essence of the other party's invaders.

The birdman shook his head and sighed, "The actual situation may be worse than you think. The seas on your planet are unpredictable, but there will always be harbors to escape the storms. In fact, the universe is the same, some stars explode into supernovae when they are speeding, and some supernovae form stellar winds because of high speed, and at the same time emit a powerful shock wave to blow super bubbles, and the lucky celestial bodies are wrapped in bubbles, and the bubbles help the celestial bodies get rid of the bad luck of being bitten by radiation waves, and ~"

He paused, as if he had to swallow a mouthful of bitter water first.

"And the most important point is that once they get into the bubble, they can be dragged away from the super black hole, so that the proton people can watch the evolution of the stars from the bubble, and the pleasing thing to the eye will be as beautiful to them as watching the fireworks bloom in the night sky through the glass window."
