Chapter 31 Beyond Science
Anything that limits our abilities, we call it fate!
Anything that cannot be explained by our own experience is called unscientific!
The bald man's narration is undoubtedly emotional, but being emotional does not equate to being wonderful, although he himself does not feel so.
Zhou Yu extracted some key points from the other party's exaggerated adjectives, rich expressions, and tone:
The alien colonization journey of the Third Star Territory Pioneer Corps is unremarkable on a macro level, but in terms of details, Frontline has never stopped providing thrilling adventure stories.
In the process described by the bald man, there were at least ten times of touching literary and artistic material.
Assuming they have a decent frontline or war correspondent, perhaps the cultural undertakings of the third star region will no longer be at the bottom.
I'll skip the others and just talk about the colonization process of Jumangxing.
Jumang Star was discovered and named by astronomical observers long before human civilization entered the interstellar era.
With the expansion of its own territory, the Third Star Territory has plans to open up new livable planets. This is also consistent with the expansion policy of the human race that the Alliance has always implemented, so it applied for the colonization operation of Jumang Star.
In the early days, the Third Star Region sent an advance team to conduct an inspection, and the inspection results showed that it was completely in line with expectations. The Third Star Region then dispatched the pioneer legion that was originally mining on other planets to carry out this colonization mission.
But here, the bald man mentioned a detail that is easily overlooked, that is, the expedition team originally dispatched did not actually return safely.
According to the gossip heard by the bald man, eight of the fifteen-man team lost!
Moreover, after the expedition team returned to the Legion, no one saw the eight people who came back alive again.
It is said that among the eight people, there is the brother-in-law of the bald male cousin. The news is absolutely true.
Of course, this is not the point.
After the Pioneer Corps arrived at Jumang Planet, without saying a word, they directly used gasoline bombs to clear out a large area of green vegetation before logging onto the planet.
Start with the cleared area and gradually spread and transform it to the surrounding areas.
Due to the special environment of Jumang Star, apart from the fact that the gravity is lower than that of the Earth and the atmosphere is slightly thinner, it is extremely suitable for human survival.
Although the atmosphere is thin, the oxygen content is very considerable.
During the development process, the work of the Pioneer Legion changed from the crazy style of the past and became more organized.
I will never get up earlier than the sun or go to bed later than the sun. Every day I will expand and build during the day, expanding my living area bit by bit.
At the same time, no one is allowed to set foot in undeveloped areas!
While Zhou Yu listened, he confirmed the report on the Jumang Star colonization plan that he had seen several times in his mind.
There are some differences in some details, but the rest are pretty much the same, that's basically what happened.
However, what the bald man said next shocked Zhou Yu!
According to the bald man, when they arrived at the Jumangxing Development Zone for construction, they found that there seemed to be traces of human activities on Jumangxing!
"What? There have been traces of human activities for a long time?" the bald man from Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.
"Yes, sir, no, it's just a wonder of natural evolution and has nothing to do with humans, but I think it was done by humans. Nature is not that boring. Just add a stone bridge to the canyon."
"So, the traces of human activities you mentioned are actually a bridge built over the canyon?"
"Hmm, that bridge looks pretty. It must not have been formed naturally."
Zhou Yu nodded, keeping it in mind, and motioned for the other party to continue.
I'm afraid it's a show here. Otherwise, if there really is a stone bridge spanning the north and south, the probability of it forming naturally is really low.
"Later, when we were digging the foundation, we also dug out some things that looked like charcoal...well, fossils."
Zhou Yu's brows twitched slightly, carbonized plant fossils?
It seems that the biological evolution history of Jumang Star is not short, and the vegetation should be quite lush.
"Later, we were transferred to the frontline development zone, and I found that those plants seemed to be very sensible."
Zhou Yu wondered: "Smart?"
"That's it, it feels like those plants are conscious."
"When we spray liquids, they move, they twist, and some of them make sounds."
"Besides, the plants in Jumangxing are very interesting. If you cut down a tree with one click, the nearby trees will tremble, and the nearby plants will look listless."
"In short, most of the flowers and plants in Jumangxing can move."
···
The bald man spoke at a slow pace. Although he had a large amount of meaningless vocabulary, it didn't take much time to give a general introduction to the frontline tasks and events of the Pioneer Legion.
Zhou Yu carefully remembered the useful information filtered out, and then continued to ask:
"Well, it's more or less the same. Let's talk about the situation of the three of you. Are there any major discoveries that the leader took credit for?"
When Zhou Yu asked this question, the bald man became even more enthusiastic.
He opened his mouth up and down and talked endlessly.
"You don't know how beautiful the dusk at Jumangxing is!"
"The dusk sunsets on other planets are either red and purple, or yellow and golden, but the sunset here is completely different. It's green!"
Zhou Yu blinked his eyes, imagining in his mind what a green sunset looked like and what its beauty was. The other party continued to explain.
"It's that light green color and looks very delicious. Our soldiers call it Matcha Sunset."
"Anyway, it looks delicious."
Zhou Yu interrupted the bald man as he touched his head and exaggerated his body descriptions. "Okay, I understand. I'll take a look when I get out. No need to say anything else. First, what remarkable discoveries have you three made?"
The bald man didn't feel embarrassed, he touched his head twice more and looked solemn.
"Let me tell you, the three of us watched the sunset one day, and after chatting for a while it got dark without paying attention."
"Originally we planned to go back to the camp directly, but when we got up to go back, we suddenly noticed something moving in the woods!"
Zhou Yu suppressed his curiosity and did not interrupt the other party's description. Instead, he signaled to continue.
"Isn't this just curiosity? You know, since we set foot on Jumang Star, we haven't seen anything other than plants, no animals, no bugs, not even bacteria and viruses. According to my friend, he is in the Pioneer Legion.
None of the scientists or relatives discovered it."
"Jumangxing is as clean as a sterile workbench in a laboratory."
"We thought there were animals, and you know, if the guess turns out to be true, it's a big discovery."
"So we discussed it and instead of going back to the camp directly, we turned around to see what kind of animal was in the dark and it was best to catch it."
"But we didn't expect..." At this point, the bald man's eyes widened and he seemed very excited.
"We found that the trees, no, all the plants, are actually connected together!"
