The Secret History of Mars

"That was the most critical month for refining the raw materials of soil from Martian basalt. I had to travel between the experimental cabin and the Miemeng Gallery where Ji Hebo was hiding. In order to facilitate my work, sometimes I would send the information from the experimental cabin Jing, get it to Miemeng Gallery for analysis and research. Sometimes He Bo is bored and will watch the pictures with me." Ye Qinghe's memories are mixed with complex emotions, whether they are warm or regretful, even she herself cannot tell clearly. "I thought that with Ji Hebo's level of intelligence at that time, there would be no problems in reading these things like reading a book from heaven, but I underestimated the speed of the evolution of your human ancestors' intelligence."

"Did Ji Hebo understand the content of the information crystal?" Jia Liang asked.

"I don't think he understood it. He must have been brainwashed by the repeated images." Ye Qinghe recalled, "When I returned to my home planet to update the carrier, Elder Cang Xi, who was still in retreat to repair the star marrow, passed through his consciousness The information told me that she was on the earth and had not completed the test of the soil. She guessed that the soil could give birth to land when it encountered the moisture of the earth. If this guess is true, then during the double ordeal of floods and beasts, Yes, Pangea Continent has a glimmer of hope for restoration."

"Then what did Ji Hebo see?" When Jia Liang heard that Xi Liang was in the water, the first thing he thought of was the promotional video for Xi Liang's auction recorded by Cui Xingmeng on the TV station.

"I couldn't find a water source on Mars with the same composition as Earth. So I tried to use the water in Hansi Lake to test the semi-finished soil produced in each experimental cabin. I hope that before returning to Earth, I can at least have a rough understanding of the products on Mars. "The catalytic conditions of the soil." Ye Qinghe explained, "So what is stored in those information crystals is the reaction effect of different semi-finished soil materials and the water of Hans Lake."

"So he saw the image of the land generated by Xirang?" Jia Liang asked expectantly. He wanted to know what kind of reaction the ancient humans would have had if they saw the shock of Xirang's promotional video.

"No, the soil structure of those semi-finished products is very rudimentary. The salt content of Lake Hans is extremely high, the content of water molecules is extremely low, and the temperature of Mars is below the freezing point. These reaction conditions that we later figured out were not available at the time. . So what He Bo saw was the picture of me throwing soil into the water, which I was studying repeatedly every day." Ye Qinghe's tone when he said these words was a bit doting.

"Then what, how could an accident happen?" Jia Liang was a little confused.

"The accident didn't happen on Mars, it happened after we returned to Earth." Ye Qinghe continued to recall, "In less than a month, exciting news came from the Mars experimental cabin. They had succeeded. , refining the basalt of Olympus Mons to a composition similar to the iron meteorites left behind after the asteroids collided with the earth, and the production of soil using local materials on Mars has finally become a reality!"

"A month later, I took the first batch of soil produced by Mars and the newly replaced carrier to the Miemeng Gallery, together with Elder Yan, and returned to Earth with Ji Hebo." Ye Qinghe said, "When we arrived After the Earth, Pangea is in danger, Ji Hebo's father has passed away long ago, and his people are relying on his eldest sister Ji Xiuji to survive."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the powerful vitality of the human species, and I was also glad that Ji Hebo still had a family to return to. I planned to let him stay at Miemeng Gallery for the last night, and then send him back to the ethnic group surrounded by floods." Regret appeared in Ye Qinghe's eyes, "The accident happened that night."

"The long flight over the Fire Land made my carrier, which had not yet been fully adjusted, a bit exhausted. So that night, Elder Yan scanned and repaired me in the gene repair room." Ye Qinghe continued, "Then We heard the sound of landslides and ground cracking coming from outside the Miemeng Gallery."

"At that time, Elder Yan and I were very shocked, thinking that the continent had sunk, so Elder Yan asked me to suspend repairs first and gather the star marrow. He went out first to check the situation." Ye Qinghe tried hard to choose the right words to describe what happened that night "When I finally gathered all the Star Essence in my heart and rushed out of the repair room, everything was too late."

Ye Qinghe sighed softly, lowered his eyes, and then said slowly, "Hebo poured the soil I brought from Mars into the flood below the Miemeng Gallery. At that time, the earth was hot and humid The environment is extremely suitable for soil catalysis, and then he was frightened by the infinite growth of the land in front of him. When he reacted, Elder Yan rushed out from the gallery and tried to stop him from continuing to pour. In desperation, he Swallowed the remaining bit of soil alive!"

"Ji Hebo swallowed Xi soil alive?!" Jia Liang instinctively looked at Cui Xingmeng. He had only seen Xi soil swallowing a living person. He couldn't imagine what would happen if a living person swallowed Xi soil. "Then What? Then what happened to Ji Hebo? Did he convert the carbon base into a silicon base? "

"At that time, our Luo Tangyi had not yet been synthesized. Without the protection and catalysis of Luo Tangyi, it would be equivalent to Ji Hebo swallowing a bunch of nuclear fission materials. These soils would be mixed with him. 70% of them are water. His body slowly reacted," Ye Qinghe said sadly, "until he was sucked into a mummy."

"He died like this?!" Jia Liang said regretfully. He could understand Ye Qinghe's mood. The seeds he carefully carried with him finally returned to the earth after all the hard work, but by some strange combination of circumstances, they were just gone. .

"I was young and energetic at that time, how could I let him die so easily?" Ye Qinghe smiled bitterly. If she had not insisted on saving him, had not asked Elder Yan to let Ji Hebo fend for himself, the history of Shi Yi Ji would have been different. I won’t rewrite, “I built a gene bank for Ji Hebo on the way from Earth to Mars.”

"So, you cloned him?" Yuan Yizhou asked.

"It's not a complete clone. Elder Yan cut out the soil from his body in time. His brain was not damaged. I just reconstructed the organs in his body that were damaged by the soil." Ye Qinghe clarified, " Later we learned that what Elder Yan took out was only the breath soil that had not had time to catalyze, and the breath soil that came into contact with his internal organs had already penetrated into his body at the cellular level, so it was impossible to take it out, so Ji Hebo It’s like being renovated and rebuilt together with my genetic repair!”

"If I'm not wrong, Ji Hebo before swallowing the soil was Gun Bo, the father of Dayu in our mythology, who used the method of adding blockages to control floods. The one who was transformed by you is Dayu, which is your culture. Yu Ze." Yuan Yizhou said leisurely, "This is how Gun broke his belly and gave birth to Yu!"
