Mecha Star Wars

The brightly lit main control room was as noisy as a vegetable market, with endless discussions about aliens.

The people who saw the "live broadcast" of live aliens for the first time could not hide their excitement and started a big carnival.

The "live" footage they saw was actually delayed.

Starting from the contact between the stars and Apollo in space, whether the spacecraft enters the barrier or aliens appear, this is the message conveyed to the public by Lanmen after confirming that the situation is stable.

But the people who are hiding underground and watching the live broadcast don’t know, or even if they know, they don’t care.

Are alien ships real? Aliens are alive, right?

The harmonious scene of Cen Fangyuan shaking hands with an alien was highlighted by the official media. Anyone with access to the Internet could see this historic moment immediately.

The subsequent scenes were not continued to be broadcast live, but were edited into news clips for broadcast. The aliens were directly silenced through Cen Fangyuan's translation. After all, there were too many unconfirmed and confidential messages that were not suitable for widespread dissemination. Everyone only needs to know that the outcome is good. That's it.

But no matter what, aliens are really coming!

No matter how good the science fiction movie is, it can't compare to the real scene before you. The alien giant octopus and the Orchid Star people walk hand in hand on the red carpet. How harmonious and beautiful...

Regardless of men, women, old or young, everyone's joy was palpable and they started celebrating spontaneously. Lanxing became a sea of ​​noise.

This is the first time since the Gro War that such strong and joyful emotions have appeared. Even during the Chinese New Year, so many people have never been so happy before.

Although some people are cautious and even have conspiracy theories, this does not affect the fact that the first close contact was peaceful and friendly.

Countless posts about aliens and spaceships have become popular online, and the hot search lists are all alien-related content.

Among them, a post titled "Octopus - the creature closest to extraterrestrial intelligence" received an astonishing number of views and was quickly ranked first.

It was an animal science video from a long time ago. It lasted for ten minutes and was mainly about the octopus, an uncommon aquatic mollusk.

In addition to describing its basic characteristics, there are also special skills such as camouflage, regeneration of severed limbs, and compression and deformation of the body.

The Orchid Star Octopus has three hearts and eight tentacles. The tentacles are covered with neurons that collect various pheromones and feed them back to the main brain.

Perhaps because their entire body is covered with brains, octopuses are extremely smart. It was once used to predict football matches, and the accuracy was unexpectedly high.

And its mouth is hidden just below its head, where the tentacles gather. It is the only hard part of its body. No matter how small the space is, as long as its mouth can pass through, the huge body will pass smoothly in a way that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The blood of octopuses is blue because it is rich in copper, which allows them to move more efficiently in cold environments lacking oxygen.

Then there was a special mention of the map of animal evolution.

It was roughly explained that the cervical vertebrae of mammals all have seven segments. Although other parts have different shapes, the number of bones is almost the same...

Various studies have shown that despite species differences, mammals share the same ancestors. Gene technology also proves this point very well.

Biologists have systematically studied and concluded that similar genetic structures lead to the same brain thinking patterns of similar mammals.

The body structures of animals such as octopuses, snails, butterflies, flies, shrimps, crabs, etc. are very different from mammals, or even have nothing to do with them. They are like two completely different branches in the evolution process.

From the genetic origin, it is speculated that it should have evolved in different directions from the flatworm period, but from the perspective of neuron structure, it looks like a type of life form that was air-dropped by aliens on the Orchid Star and emerged from the sky.

All mammalian neurons are concentrated in the brain, while only one-third of octopus neurons are in the brain, and the rest are distributed in the tentacles.

And for the same size, octopuses have more than twice as many neurons as cats, which are known for their agility.

They can walk and think at the same time. During walking, everything the tentacles touch and smell directly enters the brain. Even if the tentacles are detached from the body, the detached parts can still sense surrounding light and camouflage themselves.

Its eight tentacles are like eight mini brains, constantly processing various information without affecting the main brain...

People who had only known squid and squid rings were shocked.

I didn’t expect the ingredients on the table to be so great. Thinking about the huge size of aliens, many netizens have raised their sense of worry, saying whatever they want.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. It turns out that scientists have predicted it for us a long time ago, but it's a pity that we didn't pay attention."

"The octopus failed to rule humans, right? It's because it's too small. If it were bigger, it might be able to dominate Lanxing. Don't forget that Lanxing's ocean area is huge."

"How smart is such a big octopus! If someone has bad intentions, we can't defeat them, right? With one hand and one brain, one octopus can't be worth a dozen people."

"What do they eat? Do they eat fish? Don't they eat people?"

"There is still a boat in the sky. I guess the Lanxing people may not be able to use their brains if they are tied together. If we really have bad intentions, we should lie down as soon as possible."

"The octopus people don't have the same ancestor as the Lanxing octopus, right? Or did the Lanxing octopus branch off from them, and they came to Lanxing to trace their origins?"

"If you have to lie down upstairs, we won't give in. Gro wasn't too aggressive back then, but now Mao can't even see him."

"What about traceability? The news said it was a friendly visit."

"Speaking of which, those bugs in Gro are really ugly. In comparison...the aliens are all weird."

"We haven't been afraid of Gro's menacing approach. Now that he's here for a friendly visit, you're afraid of a bird. You're a timid lot."

"The aliens we imagine are all based on ourselves, so they are all human-shaped, with some filters, but there is nothing we can do about it. Maybe human aliens still think we are ugly."

"The group of bugs from Gro before were not in the mammal branch, right? I seem to have thought of something terrible..."

"Don't push me upstairs. When I beat Gro, you were hiding underground. You made it sound like you went up to beat him."

"What are you afraid of? We mecha people are all here. No matter how smart the octopus is, can it still resist the mecha? It's just a mollusk, nothing to be afraid of."

…

Soon, the topic shifted to a group of mecha men.

Especially seeing that Xingchen and Apollo were always by Octopus Man's side, everyone felt confident that even if there was a fight, their own Mecha Man would definitely have the upper hand.

Even if the octopus changes...

Later, the topic changed to: Can such a big octopus be eaten...

Fortunately, Lanmeng did not let them know that the octopus man is a spiritual body, otherwise the public mood would not be so optimistic now.

Lin Fan didn't know about the excitement on the Internet.

Ji Yu analyzed a lot for her. Although they were all guesses, they could at least make her mentally prepared. However, Lan Meng did not give the order, so they continued following the friendly visit procedures.

I hope that the other party is good, but I am worried that they are pretending and have other agendas.

Lin Fan knew that this idea was quite contradictory, but in his heart he felt that their purpose was not as simple as they said.

Ji Yu didn't stand and chat all the time. After talking for a while, he went on inspection.

Lin Fan stared at the spaceship when he was alone, thinking about what Ji Yu said, and felt a little confused. She couldn't explain exactly what she was thinking, but it was so densely packed in her mind that it made her feel uneasy.

It was quiet at night, but footsteps suddenly sounded behind me.

This area is under martial law. Except for the mecha men patrolling outside, no one is allowed to come out at all. How could anyone come here?

Xingchen turned around.

Three figures slowly emerged from the darkness and entered the light.

The leader was in good spirits, his curly hair neatly smeared with hair oil, and his lips smeared with lipstick.

Surprisingly, it was Mi Jiao, whom she hadn't seen for a few days.

This octopus was something I accidentally saw while watching a video yesterday. There is indeed this popular science, but I don’t know the content in it. It’s just a coincidence.

I set up the octopus alien for other reasons. I didn't expect that it could regenerate, change color, and other things that could fit into my previous plot. Hey, it’s unexpected, so this chapter is dedicated to popularizing science.

Insects and molluscs do not belong to the same evolutionary line as mammals.

When Gro wrote that Chongzi didn't know this, it was just a coincidence, but it turned out to be quite good, hahaha.
