Chapter 1337: Investigating the Meteorite
But after arriving at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Allen. Scott didn't have a big mission. Coulson was the perfect opportunity for the young British-born agent to make a difference.
........
Allen traveled with S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists and commandos to the Gobi region where the Iowa meteorite fell.
The group drove to the scene and found that it was already under the management of the National Geological Survey and the National Guard. Some of the soldiers of the National Guard, as well as personnel of the Geological Survey, worked here.
Even the top of the meteorite crash was covered by improvised protective structures.
After getting out of the car, Alan. Scott and named George. Simon's scientists went to the National Guard's tent and began to negotiate with the managers there.
"Hello, we're S.H.I.E.L.D. agents." Allan. Scott introduced as he displayed his badge with the Steel Eagle logo.
A lieutenant colonel of the National Guard, who was in charge of management, also knew the identity of the comer.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has tremendous authority to investigate and interpolate a wide range of high-tech projects. The lieutenant colonel also knows it very well.
"Since you're here, you want to get involved in meteorite research?" The lieutenant colonel of the National Guard asked.
"Yes, the research on this meteorite is taken over and taken care by S.H.I.E.L.D. However, others can collaborate as well. Alan said the plan.
The lieutenant colonel of the National Guard thought for a while and said, "Okay, that's it. Again, it's mostly your S.H.I.E.L.D. side, but we can help you appropriately. ”
Studying this extraterrestrial meteorite can actually be said to contain a lot of risks, and some people are willing to do this, and he can't ask for it.
In this way, after a period of talks and conclusions, the project was successfully led by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Alan and George. Simon also had several S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists who began to study extraterrestrial meteorites.
The alien meteorite smashed a large crater into the ground, and because the underground rock formations in the Gobi region were not too strong, they directly caused a considerable collapse at the crash site.
Walking among the collapsed craters, Alan and George. Simon and the others always watch their feet. At this time, the meteorite was already in view.
This meteorite looks like a rock, not even much different from the rocky soil above the earth.
There was a dense layer of fog on the ground around the meteorite.
"This gas is much heavier than the weight of the earth's air. And the composition structure inside is completely different from the earth's air. "George. Simon used a gas detection device to detect the composition of the fog on the ground as he walked.
Walking Allen. Suddenly feeling something squirming under his feet, Scott half-crouched down and waved his hand away the fog that had been deposited on the ground.
As the fog lifted, swarms of worms wriggled on the ground. Dense worms literally covered the ground. These worms evolved from alien creatures brought in by extraterrestrial meteorites.
Among the people in S.H.I.E.L.D., except for Allen. Scott and George. Simon, the others frowned at the sight of the disgusting brown worms.
Alan is because he is the first young agent of the British branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., and his psychological quality is excellent. And the scientist George. Professor Simon, on the other hand, is because he is almost obsessed with science.
"These worms are obviously ancient worms that only existed 300 million years ago." Professor Simon's jaw dropped almost in surprise.
I walked into the alien meteorite, only to see some cracks on the side of the meteorite. Transparent liquid continued to flow out of the cracks.
George. Simon walked up to the meteorite and, with the help of others, sampled the liquid inside the meteorite with experimental equipment.
Allen is looking at the situation here, the environment around this meteorite still has obvious problems, and it needs more strengthened protection.
After leaving here, Allen instructed S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel to strengthen the protection facilities near the meteorite.
A large-scale facility has been built in the area around the space meteorite, in which very important research is conducted. S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel conduct research on the front line. The U.S. National Guard in Iowa defended the country at a greater distance.
Temporary buildings and laboratories were also erected nearby. Professor Simon conducts research in a simple laboratory.
In the laboratory room, Professor Simon uses equipment and a precision microscope to observe liquid samples flowing from meteorites.
Allan. Scott was also in the lab, as this kind of investigation required him to be knowledgeable. Alan communicates frequently with Professor Simon.
"Oh my God, it's unimaginable." Professor Simon, who was watching intently on the microscope, sighed.
Under the microscope, the liquid was initially an alien single-celled organism, and then continued to divide and evolve. It has even evolved into a multicellular organism.
"Come and see, it's a miracle, it's really an alien creature." Professor Simon asks Alan to look at the alien creatures as well.
Alan walked to the microscope and used the microscope to observe the alien cell creatures below.
From the magnification of the microscope, it can be clearly seen that the alien cells have become multicellular organisms, and they are still dividing.
It wasn't that long ago that there were almost all single-celled organisms under the microscope.
Alan left the microscope, and Professor Simon asked him, "How's it going?" The speed at which they are planned is astounding, right? Earth's creatures took billions of years to evolve, and as a result, these alien creatures took less than a few days. ”
"In which direction will they evolve further?" Alan asked Professor Simon.
"Based on the available genetic analysis, they are not much different from the evolutionary process of ancient earth-like organisms. But there will definitely be some differences in the specific form. Let's wait and see, though. ”
Professor Simon is full of excitement, and the Frankenstein who graduated from Columbia University's biology department is full of longing and curiosity about the amazing evolution of extraterrestrial creatures.
But Allen. Scott doesn't think so, and in Allen's opinion, there is actually a great deal of uncertainty about these alien creatures. By uncertainty, is it possible for them to bring benefits or disasters? The astonishing evolution of these alien creatures is instead an unpredictable potential threat. They evolved to pose a threat to life on Earth.
Biological invasion refers to the phenomenon that a certain organism is naturally introduced from other places or artificially introduced into the wild state and causes certain harm to the local ecosystem. These organisms are called alien species. Almost all species invasions have caused alarmingly devastating ecological disasters. The same can be said for plants and animals, and so can the relationship between extraterrestrial life and life on Earth.
