The Mars locomotive continued to move forward, and stopped at a sloping corner. After placing a strobe instrument on the side wall, it continued to move forward.

"Ma'am, please watch over it first, I'll go eat something." Ren Hong said, having been sitting here for most of the day.

Just when he walked to the door, Aislin suddenly subconsciously exclaimed "God..."

Ren Hong stopped instinctively, turned around and looked back at the console, Aislin looked at the screen in shock and completely didn't notice that "Wang Jiang" was looking at her.

"Yes?" Ren Hong asked suspiciously.

"I suggest you eat it later, it's best to watch it, it's incredible..." Aislin still stared at the screen, seemingly talking to herself.

Seeing her expression, Ren Hong didn't even think about it directly, and glanced at the information displayed on the screen, he was also stunned.

For the first time, the Mars locomotive came to an open area, or it was bigger and more｜No｜Wrong｜Novel www.[qul][ed]The wide tunnel, the grid-shaped three-dimensional topographic map shows the bulging tunnels There are at least 30 balls here, all of which are more than 2.7 meters in diameter.

"Fermented product?" Ren Hong said subconsciously. At this moment, he had forgotten his stomach growling, and those raised hemispheres were all fermented products.

He quickly typed a few times on the keyboard, and after a while, the three-dimensional image was replaced by a thermal image, and then replaced by another graphic mode.

Deep underground, a new camera immediately popped up on the top of the Mars locomotive. Two thin fan-shaped green laser barriers are arranged horizontally and vertically respectively. It is extremely dazzling in the dark and dull underground depths. One laser barrier is from top to bottom, and the other side Scan back and forth against the terrain ahead from left to right.

Yang Licheng, who stood by and watched silently, was also moved when he saw the next scene, and put down his arms around his chest, and looked at the screen with wide eyes.

The screen information data shows more than 30 strong life signals, living life signals, the source of the signal is the more than 30 motionless giant spherical objects, after the data feedback of the biological scanner, the internal structure of each giant spherical fermented product The graph is displayed.

Inside each sphere curled up a huge body, curled up like a snake, it was the Martian Basilisk!

"This is... a lizard egg?" Aislin looked at the screen and turned to Ren Hong.

"No, look at its size. Although it is curled up, it stretches at least three and a half meters. It is obviously an adult individual. The spheres that wrap them are unknown yeast organisms..." Ren Hong looked at the other piece The data displayed on the screen has a moisture content of 30%? "

"Facultative anaerobes?" Ren Hong was startled suddenly and told me. No wonder they haven't shown any signs of activity in the past six months. It turns out that they are in a dormant or hibernating period. Have you seen it? They are dormant, sleeping! "

"The environment on Mars is harsh, and food is extremely scarce. If you stay active all year round, you need to eat continuously to maintain the calories consumed by life activities, but dormancy is different. The purpose of eating a big meal and sleeping for a long time is to Reduce physical energy consumption, and become facultative anaerobic during dormancy..." Ren Hong looked at the screen in amazement. This is the most energy-hungry creature I have ever seen, and it has almost saved energy consumption to the extreme... Facultative anaerobic, no wonder It will be wrapped into a sphere by the yeast, and the snake lizard will ferment and produce the yeast. The dormant period is combined with the characteristics of facultative anaerobic. This process not only consumes almost no energy, but also during the long dormancy period, facultative The body surface is fermented in an anaerobic state, and this huge fermented product that has been completed for a long time is simply a super delicious meal for Mars, which is short of food. "

"But even so, they can't complete a cycle of life activities. Don't forget that they came to the surface of Mars." Aislin questioned.

"Don't you understand yet?" Wu Cuo Novel Network didn't skip words. Ren Hong pointed to the data display screen, "The change in humidity, the anaerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms in the soil that do not rely on oxygen,

The simple and low-level life has already appeared here, have you seen the temperature change? The deeper you go underground, the temperature is rising. Now it is minus 30 degrees here, and the lowest temperature in the upper layer has reached minus 47 degrees. So what's the next step..."

"Where is this place? Under our feet." Ren Hong asked again.

"Volcano! And it's an extinct volcano that has been dead for hundreds of millions of years." Aislin replied.

"Under the volcano again?" Ren Hong asked again.

"You mean..." Aislin's eyes lit up, Ren Hong snapped his fingers, and then said the source of life, water! liquid! The core temperature of Mars exceeds 1500 degrees Celsius. "

Ren Hong suddenly stretched out his fist and figuratively said that Mars is a star system, and the inner core furnace of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius is the hot sun, and the different stratigraphic structures represent planets and planetary orbits..." Ren Hong gestured and smiled Holding his fist, he said that there is a golden position, where the temperature is just enough to make water liquid, the habitable zone! Just like the sun and the earth, the earth is in the golden position, the habitable zone! Water can be liquefied on the earth, liquid water... ...the source of life, the habitable zone of the Martian subsurface also exists!"

"In this way, it can be explained that the soil on the surface of Mars contains moisture." Ren Hong said with incomparable certainty that because there is liquid water in the Martian subsurface, it exists in the form of groundwater, and the water is stored in the hollow extinct volcanoes. It usurped the 'home' of hot lava and became the new flowing 'blood' of the volcano, so the extinct volcano was 'reborn', the bottom of Mars is a new world of life, and the Basilisk may be the master of that world..."

Aislin still found his hypothesis flimsy, questioning whether water was indeed the source of life, but what about oxygen? Could there be plants on Mars? There is no complete food chain, complete biological ecology, no balance..."

"The existence of snake lizards is untrue." Ren Hong interrupted her, and Aislin was at a loss for words.

"Let's make a hypothesis together..." Ren Hong said to himself. Hundreds of millions of years ago, Mars was a planet full of life. The extinction of life broke out, and the snake lizard was one of the survivors. Many species were affected by the environment. They became extinct due to drastic changes, snake lizards escaped catastrophe, drastic changes in the environment and the collapse of the food chain forced them to continue to evolve to avoid extinction, dead volcanoes became their new settlement places, the extinction of Martian plants led to the disappearance of oxygen, and there were no plants Provide oxygen? They make their own oxygen..."

"Animal? Self-made oxygen?" Aislin looked at him suspiciously.

"Any organ or behavior evolved by a creature is to adapt to survival. Otherwise, it is a waste of energy. Why can the snake lizard secrete acid corrosion? Why can the snake lizard generate electric current?" Ren Hong asked.

Looking at the blonde girl still not knowing what to do, Ren Hongyan said succinctly that they use these two skills to produce oxygen in the form of electrolyzed water! "

At this moment, Aislin suddenly realized that there are too many ways to survive with oxygen. The photosynthesis of plants is just the most common one. Among them, electrolyzed water is also the most common way to produce oxygen.

This would explain the snake lizard's ability to generate electricity and secrete acidic corrosives. The environment of Mars is harsh and food is scarce. The evolution of any organ part will degenerate if it has no effect, and these two unique skills happen to consume a lot of energy. If it has no effect and evolves, it will be useful?

"Unbelievable..." Aislin murmured to herself in amazement.

"Explorer! Take biological samples immediately and return to the surface. I hope these hibernators won't be awakened..."

When Yang Licheng heard this, he immediately said on the communicator that all units pay attention, stay alert, and prepare to fight! "(To be continued.)
