"This bacteria is what we call fire," Agravan said in a low voice.

"What can it be used for?" Weiran also lowered his voice, "Can it be used to make biological weapons as powerful as nuclear weapons?"

"You are indeed a soldier"

Agwan burst into laughter, "We are not using it to kill people. On the contrary, we are planning to use it to create people."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Creating humans?"

"To be precise, it's a human-creation plan."

"This plan sounds like it needs men and women more than anything else..."

"You're right"

Agrawan leaned over with most of his body, "That's true on Earth, but it's different on Mars."

"Where?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "Mars?"

"maybe!"

Agwan said nonchalantly, "We all know that there is no life on Mars, at least there is no sign of life found so far."

"So?" After Wei Ran finished speaking, he glanced at the rearview mirror subconsciously, "If you plan to talk about it, can you elaborate on it?"

"In 1982, Dr. Murat discovered a psychrophilic anaerobe in the Antarctic ice."

Agravan paused and continued, "At that time, Dr. Pavel had just graduated and was sent to the Arctic. It happened that he and Dr. Murat were students of the same teacher. So Murat contacted us through their common teacher.

Pavel."

"and after?"

When Wei Ran saw that the other party had stopped talking here, he subconsciously raised his head and looked around, and then urged the other party to continue speaking.

"Pavel later discovered the same psychrophilic anaerobic bacteria in the Arctic ice."

There was deep admiration in Agrawan's tone, "After they completed their work in the North and South Pole, under the leadership of their common teacher, they began to study this bacteria that is commonly found deep in the ice of the North and South Pole.

In 1988, they came up with a genius idea. If they could try to send this kind of psychrophilic anaerobic bacteria to other planets, the first choice among them would be Mars, because it is so similar to the Earth."

"But what's the use of sending some bacteria up there?" Wei Ran asked puzzledly.

"If the bacteria sent up are dead, it's really of no use."

Agravan paused for a moment and then asked, "But what if those bacteria can survive on Mars?"

"What's the point of surviving?"

"Of course it works"

Agwan immediately retorted, "This kind of bacteria that we call fire lives in the ice. If they can survive and multiply around the poles of Mars, it first proves that there is water on Mars. There is water.

, there are bacteria that can survive in water, do you know what this means?”

"It means you can defraud scientific research funds."

Wei Ran muttered silently, but nodded at the same time, "But isn't the space race over long ago?"

"This is not a meaningless space race," Agravan said with excitement, "This is space colonization, even if it is just space colonization with bacteria!"

"Isn't this what I'm going to do when I'm full..."

Wei Ran slandered again, perhaps because of the limitations of their respective eras, or perhaps because of differences in professional fields. At least, as a history student, he really couldn't see any prospects for this scientific research project.

Seeing Wei Ran's disapproval, Agravan lit another cigarette and asked slowly, "Victor, if we succeed, if those bacteria named Tinder continue to multiply on Mars. You know what this means.

What are you wearing?"

"All I know is that those bacteria will definitely not be able to help the Soviet Union plant the flag on Mars."

“That’s true”

Agrawan was not angry because of Wei Ran's ridicule. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "About four billion years ago, various microorganisms probably already existed on the earth. In fact, the emergence of these microorganisms was only smaller than

The Earth itself formed about 300 million years later.

Of course, for our life span of less than a hundred years, 300 million years is too long, but for the earth itself, 300 million years is almost as short as the day we are experiencing now.

But today, four billion years later, intelligent life like us has appeared on the surface of this planet. We have created civilization, built huge machinery, and have even begun to explore other planets."

"So?" Wei Ran asked calmly.

“Didn’t it all start with those microorganisms that appeared on Earth about four billion years ago?”

Agravan's face now showed a Soviet-style fantasy, "If the bacteria we send to Mars can eventually reproduce and evolve more advanced life, even if there is only such a trend.

Then, we may be able to reversely prove the process of the emergence of life on the earth.

We might as well make a bolder assumption and assume that the beginning of all life on earth was a group of tenacious bacteria carefully selected by boring intelligent life to colonize space?"

"Sincerely wish you success"

Wei Ran said in a calm tone. He could not tell whether Agrawan was telling the truth or whether he was making up a science fiction story to pass the boring time.

But at least, he can be sure that in the world almost thirty years from now, at least according to public information, no country seems to have ever carried out so-called "bacterial space colonization."

However, no matter what, in the few days left before the collapse of the Soviet Union, these scientific researchers were still working on their conjectures and hypotheses. This in itself is an admirable act that has nothing to do with nationality.

"We will succeed, we will definitely succeed." Agrawan said with certainty.

"So, the other teams are also doing this this time?"

"How is it possible? They are all research teams on other polar projects, some on climate, some on geology, and some even conduct mineral vein exploration. Our car is the project that receives the least attention."

Agrawan shook his head regretfully, "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, our scientific research has just begun. It will probably take at least ten or even twenty years before we can send fire to Mars or other planets with more suitable conditions."

Years of time.”

"That you..."

Agrawan thought for a while, but he couldn't help laughing, "Let's put it this way, what we are doing now is more like breed selection."

"To that kind of fire?" Seeing the other party's nod, Wei Ran couldn't help but ask, "Are there any species differences in bacteria?"

Agrawan spread his hands, but did not answer the question directly. At this moment, continuous gunfire suddenly came from outside the cab.

Subconsciously following the sound of gunfire, Wei Ran immediately pushed open the heavy steel skylight above his head, raised the AK rifle he had been holding in his arms, and without even having time to open the folded stock, he pointed at the gunfire in the distance.

The wolves approaching Taras and Sharip pulled the trigger!

Amidst the intensive gunfire, the wolf running at the front rolled and fell on the flat snow, while the remaining dozen wolves also accelerated their speed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Agwan, who didn't even have time to put on his cold-proof clothes, also got out of the skylight on the other side and fired bullets at the wolves with a Nagan revolver that were out of reach.

Fortunately, the intensive gunfire, the companions who fell one after another, and the "prey" that had already slipped into the living cabin, and many other factors, finally made the wolf pack that had not obtained any advantage change its direction.

He turned around and ran into the coniferous forest at the edge of the lake.

"It would be great if you could give me this this time."

Wei Ran patted the rifle in his hand, and while muttering secretly, he also secretly hoped that the metal book could understand human speech.

After all, this is an AK. If you can take out a big AK at any time to defend yourself, at least it must be much stronger than the wave of sand in the metal book?

Having had enough of the hysteria left over from his childhood, Wei Ran also retreated into the warm cab in the howling cold wind, put on the appropriate cold-proof clothes as quickly as possible, and then carried the gun with the new magazine.
