In 1953, a young man in his twenties from the United States conducted an experiment with the help of his mentor.
He placed a large amount of methane, ammonia and other substances in a sealed device and continued to heat the water storage part of the device. The heated water vapor entered a bottle with a discharge device and a mixed gas that simulated the original atmosphere of the earth.
After this, the reacted water vapor will enter the condenser tube and recirculate.
After such a device is simply cycled several times, amino acids available for detection appear in the device.
As a result, mankind confidently announced that it had initially solved the problem of the origin of life.
This is the famous Miller-Ule experiment - "Miller" and "Ule" are the names of the young man and his mentor.
This experiment is simple enough and elegant enough.
However, it's not that convincing.
As the moon landing project progressed, the theoretical basis of this experiment was also shaken—human beings suddenly knew that the moon was likely to have been part of the earth. This was only confirmed later.
The "original environment of the earth" speculated by the Miller experiment did not take into account such drastic changes. The conditions set up by that experiment are worthy of discussion.
The Earth's original atmosphere may have been oxidizing enough to destroy the organic matter produced by natural movements as envisioned by Miller.
But it’s not that humans haven’t come up with new ideas.
For example, submarine volcanoes.
Undersea hot spring volcanoes will continuously erupt hot springs at hundreds of degrees. These springs contain a large amount of metal lithium compounds. The temperature and pH of this hot spring are very different from those of the surrounding high-pressure seawater. When the two meet,
A strong neutralizing reaction will occur.
The scorching eruptions form a loose and porous structure in the cold, high-pressure seawater. The diameter of those gaps is equivalent to that of cells.
Scientists speculate that it may be these rock pores that make disordered water flows in a certain order, and the reaction between hot springs and seawater is forcibly tamed. Undersea hot springs provided complex materials and energy for the first life.
During hundreds of millions of years of meaningless chemical reactions, a molecule was accidentally born that could use the surrounding simple organic matter to assemble itself in an orderly manner.
This is the origin of life.
This molecule expands itself bit by bit, incorporating more information into itself, and increasing the various reactions it can participate in...
Until finally, together with the lipid substances attached to the rock wall, it formed the first cells.
The Emperor's Liberation Army's "Rainbow Bridge" simulates this process. An artificial membrane plate divides the hexagonal prism into two different areas. One side is heated, and the other side is close to the cooling equipment embedded in the "Rainbow Bridge" frame.
, through clever design, water can circulate at a fixed rate on both sides of the foam board...
Ah, of course, not all hexagonal prisms are like this. The foam sides of some hexagonal prisms are the positive and negative poles of the power supply. A weak electric field can flow through both sides of the foam board.
Some foam structures whose refractive index is almost the same as that of the surrounding solution are directly illuminated by low-intensity lasers. These parallel beams will only illuminate half of the foam plate and the hexagonal prism.
[Water collected from the asteroid belt, natural organic matter obtained from Jupiter and Saturn...] Zhu Xinyu said.
Yawgmoth asked: [How many hexagonal prisms are there?]
[It is much more convenient to use scientific notation.] Zhu Xinyu said: [I have not seen the specific information, but generally it should be between ten to the thirteenth power to the fifteenth power]
Yawgmoth did some mental calculations and found that if he calculated at a higher level, the earth's water resources might not necessarily be as much as those of the Rainbow Bridge.
This order of magnitude is roughly on the same level as the number of stars in the Milky Way.
Each hexagonal prism is like a small planet with only one liter of water and a foam board. These small planets are rapidly simulating the evolution of life in an artificial environment.
The birth of life is completely an event of betting on probability.
Maybe it will appear the next day, or maybe it will appear a billion years later.
But "billion" is also separated by several orders of magnitude from the "little planet" in the Rainbow Bridge.
Xiangshan is using violence and exhaustion to survive the sea of suffering called "probability".
【So many...how to...detect...ah...】
This giant building is his idea. Xiangshan will only make it more perfect.
A laser beam can detect thousands or even tens of thousands of hexagonal prisms at one time. As long as one of these thousands of hexagonal prisms produces an interesting chemical reaction, it can be reflected in the monitoring data.
Laser detection of several different paths can easily determine the coordinates where life reactions occur.
This process can be accomplished by drones and simple procedures. Xiangshan will always leave these repetitive tasks to machines.
obviously……
The original Ogun still only brought one origin of life.
In Xiangshan's fictional history, "technological leap" cannot explain this thing anyway, so the other seven origins of life that have been exhausted over the past few years have been stuffed by Xiangshan into Ogun in the fictional history.
Yawgmoth stared at the Rainbow Bridge and didn't speak for a long time.
At the end of the Rainbow Bridge, Zhu Xinyu said: "Okay, you can't turn on the camera in the next section of the road. Bear with it, it might be a little dark."
Yawgmoth lost his vision.
After being disconnected from the machine, the brain will not feel anything. Yawgmoth feels that a long period of time has passed.
During this time, he should have experienced at least one transfer.
Finally, he heard Zhu Xinyu's farewell.
[Goodbye, you two. I can only help you get here. I have not obtained any authority in the Zion area. If I continue to follow, I will be easily exposed. Have a safe trip.]
[Xinyu...] Ingrid said: [You must also take care of yourself!]
[Hmm.] Zhu Xinyu said calmly: [I will never die before the camera records the death of the Emperor of Liberation. ]
Yawgmoth said: [Goodbye.]
Then, he fell into darkness again.
Perhaps it was the darkness that spawned fear. In the process, some doubts sprouted in his heart.
When he woke up again, he was already in a strange cabin.
A strange prosthetic put his hand on his chest and greeted Yawgmoth with ancient understanding: "Welcome, 'Healer'. Welcome back to the real world. I am the captain of this ship..."
Yawgmoth raised his arms. They were a pair of unfamiliar hands, shining with silver light.
Yawgmoth, who had been hallucinating in 2077 not long ago, was in a trance for a moment.
And the man who called himself the captain was talking happily.
Yog looked out the porthole. In the direction of the sun, a huge black structure cast a huge shadow.
