The Secret History of Mars

"It's getting late. The training items that Elder Bao Xi has temporarily added to you are almost here. If you two have no other questions, please go to my Tongshu Garden." Ye Qinghe said, most of the day has passed, 1 The training that Seed and Catalyst really need has not started yet, and the review of the Elders’ House the day after tomorrow is like the Sword of Damoris hanging over Ye Qinghe’s head, making her a little anxious.

Yuan Yizhou saw Ye Qinghe's anxiety. He also wanted to know what exactly the Presbytery was going to review, so the few of them did not stay in the Xuanhu Tower for a long time. After getting off the tower, they said goodbye to Elder Yan and Shui Zaitian in Jishi Hall, and the group hurried towards Tongshu Garden. Before parting, Yuan Yizhou saw Elder Yan whispering something to Ye Qinghe's ear. Even though his hearing had become very sensitive, he only heard the word "Bao Xi".

When he walked out of the think tank door, Cui Xingmeng turned around and took a look, "It's like a spring dream, but it's like a morning cloud with nowhere to go." This theme was really apt. When I first came here in the morning, it was like a dream in spring, beautiful and sentimental; after only half a day, my mood was like morning clouds, with nowhere to rest.

She looked at Yuan Yizhou beside her. Ever since they fell in love after graduating from college, Mr. Yuan was still the boy whose every move and smile made her heart flutter. Before meeting him, Cui Xingmeng was most obsessed with her studies, and the friendly boys around her had never entered her eyes; but after meeting Mr. Yuan, Cui Xingmeng was only interested in him and could no longer let go of others. of people.

After being attracted by Yuan Yizhou's good looks, it was not his talent that made Cui Xingmeng fall in love with him. Yuan Yizhou has a kind of warmth and certainty that is poured out by love. Because I have never lacked love since I was a child, I also know how to love others. The peace of mind and indifference of being with him made Cui Xingmeng suddenly see another possibility in his life that had been on the road for more than ten years. Thinking of this, Cui Xingmeng moved her gaze to Yuan Yizhou's face. At this time, Yuan Yizhou was also looking at her. The moment their eyes interacted, she understood each other's thoughts: There are so many people in this world, how lucky I am, every day Every morning and dusk, there is one of us.

The geocentric capsule bound for Tongshuyuan arrived soon. After the three of them got into the capsule, Ye Qinghe spoke first, "Sorry, what Miss Xingmeng has always wanted to hear is the story of Empress Nuwa's five-color stone patching up the sky. It was interrupted. The journey from here to Tong Shuyuan is a bit long, and we just have enough time to chat about this story."

When Cui Xingmeng heard this, she smiled and said, "It's rare that Mr. Ye still remembers it, so I'm all ears."

"After the extinction of the dinosaurs, the Elders debated the dominant species on Earth for thousands of years. During that time, the Earth experiment was in a state of laissez-faire. Although no one species had an absolute advantage, the diversified development It also laid a rich genetic reserve for Shiyiji experiments." Ye Qinghe was like a storyteller, recounting that period of history in a tone full of memories. "Then about five thousand years ago, the disaster that wiped out the dinosaurs happened again on Earth."

"An asteroid hits the earth again?" Yuan Yizhou asked.

"What hit the earth this time was a swarm of asteroids. Each individual was small, and it would not be like the devastating instantaneous impact of the dinosaurs. It did not give Elder Cangxi any chance of rescue," Ye Qinghe described accurately, " But there were so many of them. The earth's atmosphere at that time had just been formed, and it was not enough to burn all the flying rocks from the sky. Therefore, if they fell to the ground, they would cause disaster. As described in your mythology, Empress Nuwa Before the sky was patched, the water from the Milky Way and the landslides and cracks on the ground were caused by tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions caused by meteorite impacts.”

"This disaster made Elder Cang Xi insist on intervention despite the opposition of the Elder Council. She did not want mammals to follow the footsteps of the dinosaurs," Ye Qinghe recounted, "But at that time, the main energy source for interstellar navigation on Mars was Chemical energy, in addition to the Miemeng Gallery stationed on the earth all year round, the support spacecraft sent by the mother star will take nearly a year to reach the earth, and water far away cannot decompose nearby fire."

"So, Elder Cangxi used all the energy in the Miemeng Gallery to break large pieces of planetary debris in the atmosphere, minimizing the size of the fragments falling to the ground as much as possible." Ye Qinghe has said this epic story so far The scene is still uncontrollably surging with emotion, "Elder Cang Xi stayed awake and single-handedly, together with the Miemeng Gallery, fought against the asteroid swarm's attack on the earth for a whole month."

"At first, all the animals fled in all directions. Slowly, some of the more courageous primates began to look up at the sky from their hiding caves. When the asteroid hit the Miemeng Gallery, the energy burst out The waves are refracted into five colors of light through the atmosphere, and then small pieces of meteorites will fall to the ground, and then the black fog will disperse in the sky after the impact, revealing a blue background. These are described as, in your myths and stories Five-color stones patch the sky."

"This month's hard work has greatly exhausted Elder Cangxi's energy, and Mie Meng Gallery has also suffered heavy losses. After the disaster, she had to temporarily rest and recuperate on Earth, waiting for the arrival of support from Mars."

"Looking at the elder Cangxi who descended from the sky with the head of a human and the body of a snake riding on the five-color light, all the slightly spiritual species on the earth regarded her as a god and worshiped her. This is the original material about the Nuwa Empress in your mythology. .”

"Then what happened when Nuwa made human beings out of clay?" Cui Xingmeng remembered Yuan Yizhou saying that there was a shelf in Elder Cang Xi's Miemeng Gallery, and Xirang made clay figures, but they were not real people.

"During the few months that Elder Cangxi was recuperating on the earth, he discovered that the meteorites left behind after the asteroid impact contained huge energy. Especially the asteroid group that time mainly left behind iron meteorites and carbon The high-density and pure nuclear energy of iron meteorites provides high-quality raw materials for controllable nuclear fission, and the rich amino acids and fatty acids in carbon matter may provide the basis for the origin of life."

"Elder Cang Xi began to collect these materials and conducted mixing experiments, and finally developed the breath soil." Ye Qinghe said with admiration.

"What?! Is the soil a product from the earth?" Yuan Yizhou said in disbelief.

"The original soil was extracted from the meteorites after the asteroid group hit the earth. Later, Elder Cangxi continued to optimize the formula of the soil. The basalt in the Olympus Mountains on Mars can also be used to refine the soil. Materials." Ye Qinghe replied.

"I remember Elder Bao Xi said that the basalt at the bottom of Mount Olympus, in addition to silicate, contains very high magnesium and iron elements. It does not require too high a temperature to have a very low viscosity and a high viscosity. Liquidity is the most important raw material for Elder Cang Xi." Cui Xingmeng recalled what Elder Bao Xi said when she just woke up yesterday when she took her to Mount Olympus. "Then what?"

"Then your ancestor Homo sapiens was born!" Ye Qinghe said with a smile.
