Annihilation of the solar system

Everyone else walked to Wei Xu's office, and he was doing some operations on the computer. The screen displayed photos of an area of ​​Titan, and the atmosphere had been filtered out through spectral information.

On the surface, this area looks very similar to the Earth. In the photo, there are mountains and mountains, and there are rivers, lakes and plains between the mountains. However, the water that makes up those rivers and lakes is not water, but liquid methane.

"This is a surface photo of about 1/30 of Titan's area. I drew a topographic map of this area based on information from early detectors and photo information. There is Titan's highest altitude mountain here, which is estimated to be about 9,000 meters."

As he spoke, he worked on the computer again, and the photo just now was covered with dense contour lines. Those lines followed the picture and snaked around the mountains, deep valleys, and plains, forming closed loops connecting cities one by one.

"These are contour maps with a height difference of about 500 meters. The data are incomplete and inaccurate, so I can make do with it."

Everyone was still confused and didn't understand what Wei Xu wanted to say. Wei Xu typed a few more times on the computer. An infrared imaging photo was once again superimposed on the photo with contours superimposed just now:

"I have already processed this infrared imaging photo. According to the difference in temperature, environmental factors have been basically eliminated. That is to say, the infrared image is basically the organisms on Titan. Time is limited, so I can only guess. It's probably a

mean."

Then Wei Xu slightly enlarged part of the photo, and the photo presented to everyone was much clearer than before. Lin Tianyu hugged him with one hand and held his chin with the other hand on his waist and said:

"This situation is basically similar to what we found on Europa. There is a liquid ocean under the ice cap of Europa, and the mesh structure spreads more randomly. And it can be clearly seen in your picture that the mesh structure follows

It changes due to the ups and downs of the terrain. This is also consistent with biological characteristics. It seems that the preliminary judgment is indeed as Xia Lan said, and their evolution may have entered a new stage."

Wu Fan and Liu Mengzhu both nodded in approval and looked at Xia Lan next to them, wanting to know her opinion as the team leader.

Xia Lan was looking at the pictures on the screen. She knew that these seemingly simple pictures had taken Wei Xu a lot of time.

The last person to leave and the first person to arrive in the office every day is Wei Xu. He has lost weight even though he eats sweets every day and quits smoking. She understands that Wei Xu can't do everything just to prove a problem that everyone has discovered.

.She said calmly:

"Go on!"

Wei Xu pressed on the keyboard, and the photo began to zoom in slowly. He said at the same time:

"From a local perspective, it is indeed similar to the situation on Europa. But based on the comparison of thermal imaging photos and optical photos, I found that their so-called mesh structure should be something similar to a pipe.

And when they are close to each other and connected, they are not growing along the closest distance, but converging in a specific direction. This is not obvious on Europa, which is dominated by ice caps and oceans, but on Enceladus

It’s obvious when you go up six.”

Wu Fan still doesn’t quite understand Wei Xu’s thoughts:

"Isn't this normal? There is an unobstructed ocean under the ice cap of Europa. But there is land on Titan and the terrain is undulating. Is there any problem with this?"

When talking about this, the picture on the computer screen has been zoomed to the original size. After listening to Wei Xu's description, everyone carefully saw the direction of the dark red mesh structure in the picture. It is indeed from the brighter color.

The spread of oocyst cluster structures close to each other.

And during the process of getting closer, there were a few small dark red dots that were not easy to find, which happened to be on the only way for these mesh structures to converge. Wei Xu pointed at those small dots:

"The strange thing is here. If there is nothing wrong with my contour topographic maps, then they do not merge completely according to the difficulty of the terrain undulations, and they have a tendency to merge towards higher altitudes."

Wei Xu pointed at the chaotic networks on the computer monitor.

"Infrared photos show that after coming out of the egg sac structure, the mesh structure gradually converges and decreases, but the size of the tubes also gradually increases. If they will converge at these locations, then what will they do next? I have a

A wild guess."

At this time, everyone's spirits were lifted, and Wei Xu picked up the mouse and started scribbling on the photo. Although the painting was very rough, everyone generally understood what Wei Xu meant.

The final image presented to everyone is that after those mesh structures merged together at those small dark red dots, they gathered into a larger pipe and spread out in one direction, finally ending at the highest altitude in the photo.

On the top of that mountain.

Everyone was a little confused, Lin Tianyu asked:

"Judging from your contour map, they eventually merge into one, then grow towards the top of the mountain, and finally end at the top. But Wei Xu, what is the basis for your guess? Why do they do this?

Dry?"

Wei Xu stood up and looked around as if he was looking for something. Finally his eyes fell on Xia Lan's desk, and then he looked at Xia Lan with a smile:

"Senior sister, I see that the cup of pearl milk tea you stocked up before the crisis era just started, and you haven't had time to drink it yet?"

Everyone felt strange as to why Wei Xu suddenly said such irrelevant words. Xia Lan also frowned slightly:

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

The sly smile on Wei Xu's face became even brighter:

"Can you give me your cup of out-of-print pearl milk tea so that I can vividly explain to you why I made such a conjecture? Hehehe..."

Wei Xu giggled, and everyone was even more surprised. Liu Mengzhu on the side said half-angrily:

"Those are a few boxes of milk tea that Sister Lan and I bought when we went to the supermarket for the last time. We kept them for several months without even wanting to drink a few cups of milk tea. Why are you so shameless! You can't buy it now!"

Wei Xu explained:

"I'm not being mean. Only if you give me that cup of milk tea can I explain my thoughts to you in the most vivid way. Besides, you can't do any of the actions."

Everyone showed some disgust, especially Lin Tianyu. But Xia Lan calmly walked to the desk, picked up the still warm cup of pearl milk tea and a straw and handed it to Wei Xu:

"Take it and drink it. After you drink it, let's get down to business."

Wei Xu was about to take the milk tea when Xia Lan suddenly took back the hand he had extended:

"Part of my point of view is very similar to yours, that is, their mesh structure should be a conduit for some kind of biological mechanism, and its function should be to transport the organisms they cultivated.

It can be inferred that the creatures they created may not survive naturally in the environments of Europa and Titan. The creatures they created were designed for the earth's environment, so they need to use this kind of pipeline to transport. If your

If your idea doesn’t make any further breakthrough than mine, then you can’t drink my cup of milk tea in vain.”

Wei Xu smiled and took the straw from the milk tea bar, inserted it into the hole in the cup lid and said repeatedly:

"Thank you, Senior Sister, Senior Sister is wise! I will never drink your cup of milk tea in vain, just watch it!"

At the same time, he made a face at Liu Mengzhu, and then took a sip of milk tea with a straw in a somewhat pretentious manner. While drinking, he made a triumphant expression on his face. Lin Tianyu became a little impatient, and his tone became slightly more serious:

"Wei Xu, it's almost done. Are you done yet? Let's get down to business quickly, or I'll go back to work. What time is it now!"

No one said anything, but it could be seen from their expressions that they were a little impatient.

Wei Xu made a waiting gesture, salivated through the straw, inserted the straw into the pearl at the bottom of the cup, and then took a deep sip, but not much milk tea was sucked out. It seemed that there was a relatively large pearl stuck in it.

The straw slowly moved toward Wei Xu's mouth under negative pressure.

At this time, Wei Xu pulled the straw out of the cup with his mouth. Then he raised his head, and the straw in his mouth was tilted towards the glass window of the office like a howitzer. His cheeks were round and round as he held back his breath.

Pump it up, and then blow it hard!

"Bang!"

With a loud sound, the pearl stuck in the straw was launched out of the straw like a cannonball. After a short and fast flight in the air, it hit the glass window a few meters away with a "pop!" and left a mark on the glass.

A cluster of pearl cannonball stains stained with milk tea marks.

Normally, this disgusting scene would have made everyone in the office look at him with disdain and criticize him fiercely. But at this moment, everyone was expressionlessly looking at the man who was hit by the cannonball of Wei Xu Milk Tea.

Traces, frozen in place motionless.

They all understood what Wei Xu wanted to express, and that bold guess almost solved their long-standing and troubled problem:

How did the primitive organisms on Titan leave the surface of the planet without the help of external forces!

At this moment, they seemed to have gotten the answer from the pearl cannonball wrapped in the milk tea juice just now. The pearl cannonball hit everyone's high heart hard.

Only Wei Xu, who looked a little embarrassed, quickly took a small handkerchief from the desk, and quickly rushed to the window to clean up the crime scene he had just created.

Everyone is still stunned. The glimmer of hope they had before - it is difficult for them to reach the earth! Now it has been shattered by the pearl cannonball.

Wei Xu seemed to have accepted the fact when he made this assumption, and he seemed particularly calm. He sipped the cup of milk tea, looked at his companion who was in a daze, and yelled:

"What are you doing standing still! I still don't understand how the things on Europa reached low-Earth orbit!"
