大約在5億年前,不,也許在7億年前,在銀河系之外,有一個(gè)文明高度發(fā)達(dá)的星球——M星球。M星球也像地球一樣有大氣保護(hù),有山有水,風(fēng)調(diào)雨順。陸地上生活著一種生命,我們姑且把它命名為WAIN吧,WAIN在M星球生活、繁衍大約有3億年的歷史。
About 500 million years ago, no, maybe 700 million years ago, outside the galaxy, there was a highly civilized planet, planet M. Planet m, like the earth, has atmospheric protection, mountains and water, and good weather. There is a kind of life on the land. Let's call it Wain. Wain has a history of about 300 million years of life and reproduction on planet M.
在M星球,一個(gè)屋頂周邊呈11個(gè)角、總體大致是圓形的建筑物里,幾十位WAIM分成兩排面對(duì)面席地而坐。初看,他們與地球上的人并無兩樣,只是手臂與腿要比人短得多。從他們嚴(yán)肅的神情看,他們正在討論一個(gè)棘手而必須要解決的問題。原來,據(jù)M星球的科學(xué)家預(yù)測(cè),大約在1億年后,有一個(gè)星球?qū)⑴cM星球激烈碰撞,WAIN將面臨滅頂之災(zāi)。怎幺辦?與會(huì)的WAIN們形成了一致的認(rèn)識(shí):在宇宙間尋找適合WAIN生存的星球,把WAIN移居到這個(gè)星球上去。?
On planet m, dozens of waims sit face to face on the ground in two rows in a building with 11 corners around the roof. At first sight, they are no different from people on earth, but their arms and legs are much shorter than people. From their serious looks, they are discussing a difficult problem that must be solved. It turns out that, according to the scientists of planet m, in about 100 million years, one planet will collide with planet m intensely, and Wain will face the disaster of extinction. What to do? The participating wains formed a common understanding: to find a suitable planet for Wain in the universe and move Wain to this planet.?
經(jīng)過上百年探索與研究,WAIN發(fā)明了一種叫FT的宇宙航行器,這種圓形宇航器直徑有10多米,分為里外兩層,外層能夠高速旋轉(zhuǎn),宇航器就是借著外層的高速旋轉(zhuǎn)而產(chǎn)生的力飛行,速度比火箭還要快100多倍。WAIN選出了8名宇航員,WAIN的未來就寄托在這8名宇航員身上。?
After hundreds of years of exploration and research, Wain invented a kind of space vehicle called ft, which has a diameter of more than 10 meters and is divided into two layers inside and outside. The outer layer can rotate at a high speed. The space vehicle is flying with the force generated by the high speed rotation of the outer layer, which is more than 100 times faster than the rocket. Wain has elected eight astronauts, and the future of Wain depends on these eight astronauts.?
漆黑的夜晚使遼闊的戈壁灘顯得更加無邊無際,戈壁灘上停著即將飛行的宇航器,夜色的濃重使它看上去是一個(gè)龐然大物。8名宇航員魚貫登上坐倉,其它工作的WAIN很快離開現(xiàn)場。十多分鐘后,F(xiàn)T高速旋轉(zhuǎn),揚(yáng)起的塵土、沙礫籠罩了方圓幾公里,WAIN們只能見到它模糊的影子。幾分鐘后,整個(gè)宇航器由于與空氣的摩擦變得通紅,四周籠罩著一團(tuán)紅暈。忽地,F(xiàn)T升空而起,瞬間便消失得無影無蹤。?
The dark night makes the vast Gobi Desert seem more boundless. On the Gobi desert, there is a space vehicle about to fly. The thick night makes it look like a giant. Eight astronauts fish into the cabin, and the other work of the Wain soon left the scene. More than ten minutes later, the FT rotated at high speed, and the dust and gravel raised covered the area for several kilometers. The wains could only see its faint shadow. A few minutes later, the whole spacecraft became red due to friction with the air, surrounded by a red halo. Suddenly, FT rises and disappears in a flash.?
當(dāng)FT停落在地球上時(shí),立時(shí),四周形成一片焦碳,五個(gè)多小時(shí)后,一條梯子從FT上伸了出來,宇航員步出了坐倉。?
When the FT stopped on the earth, a coke formed around it. More than five hours later, a ladder stretched out from the FT, and the astronauts stepped out of the cabin.?
宇航員在地球上考察了十多個(gè)晝夜,發(fā)現(xiàn)地球上滿是低級(jí)的動(dòng)物,沒有高級(jí)的生命,這些動(dòng)物在本能的驅(qū)使下穿梭于叢林,奔跑在原野。對(duì)于“入侵者”,它們感到恐慌,但很快恢復(fù)了常態(tài)??吹降厍蛏系膭?dòng)物,宇航員們比畫著,討論著,似乎顯得異常的興奮:地球是適合生命居住的星球!但隨著考察的深入,這些M星球上的WAIN們發(fā)現(xiàn)地球上缺乏適合他們的食物,如果要把WAIN移居到地球,必須先在地球上培植可以讓W(xué)AIN獲取食物的植物。但這并沒有讓這些宇航員沮喪,他們捕捉了幾只小動(dòng)物,步履似乎顯出幾分躊躇登上了FT。
Astronauts have investigated the earth for more than ten days and nights, and found that the earth is full of low-level animals, without high-level life. Driven by instinct, these animals shuttle in the jungle and run in the field. They panicked at the intruders, but soon returned to normal. Seeing the animals on the earth, the astronauts compared and discussed, which seemed to be very excited: the earth is a suitable planet for life! However, with the further investigation, the wains on these m planets found that there was a lack of food suitable for them on earth. If we want to move the Wain to the earth, we must first cultivate plants on the earth that can let the Wain get food. But it didn't frustrate the astronauts. They caught a few small animals and seemed to hesitate to climb the FT.
當(dāng)8名宇航員帶著勝利果實(shí)回到M星球,發(fā)現(xiàn)M星球發(fā)生了巨大的變化,雖然宇航員整個(gè)考察過程只進(jìn)行了兩個(gè)多月,但M星球的時(shí)間已經(jīng)過去了800多年,原來探索外星球的組織已經(jīng)解散。從歷史記載的資料來看,當(dāng)時(shí),他們以為這次宇宙探索計(jì)劃已告失敗,WAIN移居外星球恐怕已不可能成為事實(shí)。8名宇航員回到M星球后,給WAIN帶來了新的希望,整個(gè)星球都在傳播著這個(gè)令WAIN們鼓舞的消息。他們很快作出決定,把M星球上的作物移植到地球去。于是調(diào)動(dòng)星球上所有相關(guān)的力量,進(jìn)行第二次地球之旅,宇航員由原來的8名減少到6名,外加兩位植物學(xué)家。?
When eight astronauts returned to planet m with the fruits of victory, they found that great changes had taken place in planet M. although the whole exploration process of astronauts only lasted for more than two months, the time of planet m had passed more than 800 years, and the original organization to explore the outer world had been dissolved. According to historical records, at that time, they thought that the space exploration plan had failed, and that it was impossible for Wain to move to another planet. After eight astronauts returned to planet m, they brought new hope to the Wain, and the whole planet was spreading this encouraging news to the wains. They quickly decided to transplant the crops from planet m to the earth. So we mobilized all the relevant forces on the planet to make a second earth trip, reducing the number of astronauts from eight to six, plus two botanists.?
他們來到地球的時(shí)候,正好趕上季節(jié),于是播下各種種子。過了幾天,種子發(fā)芽了!很快,它們長出了莖葉。他們每天都來看作物的生長情況,精心呵護(hù)……可是,六個(gè)月過后,所有的作物都慢慢枯萎,他們看不到這些作物像在M星球上一樣結(jié)出所需要的果實(shí)。?
They came to the earth just in time for the season, so they planted all kinds of seeds. After a few days, the seeds germinated! Soon, they grew stems and leaves. They come to see the growth of crops every day and take good care of them However, six months later, all the crops are slowly withering, and they can't see the fruits they need as they do on planet M.?
不幸的消息使WAIN似乎感覺到末日的來臨??茖W(xué)家們聚集在一起,商量研究對(duì)策,最后他們絕望地作出決定:把WAIN的基因提取出來,移植到地球上某種動(dòng)物身上,創(chuàng)造一種新的物種,使WAIN的最重要的文明能夠得以保存?
The sad news made Wain seem to feel the end of the day. Scientists gathered together to discuss research strategies, and finally they made a desperate decision: to extract the gene of Wain, transplant it to some kind of animal on the earth, create a new species, so that the most important civilization of Wain can be preserved?
M星球的第三次地球之旅開始了,他們帶著沉重的心情,在地球上尋找合適的動(dòng)物。?
Planet M's third journey to the earth began. With a heavy heart, they searched for the right animals on the earth.?
想到WAIN如此高度發(fā)達(dá)的文明,現(xiàn)在只能把基因移植到低等動(dòng)物身上才能保持一點(diǎn)痕跡,宇航員和科學(xué)家們懷疑這有多大的必要,但他們還是仔細(xì)地尋找著,反復(fù)地比較著地球上哪一種動(dòng)物可以承受如此厚重的禮物,哪一種動(dòng)物值得他們把整個(gè)星球的一絲脈息寄附。?
Thinking of the highly developed civilization of Wain, now we can only transplant the gene to the lower animals to keep a trace. Astronauts and scientists doubt how necessary it is, but they are still carefully looking for, repeatedly comparing which animal on the earth can bear such a heavy gift, which animal is worth them to send a trace of the whole planet. ?
他們躑躅著,來到了一個(gè)林子的邊緣,看到了一只猴子的奇怪的行為,它用前肢握住一株小樹的樹干使勁地?fù)u動(dòng),樹枝上的果實(shí)便掉了下來;接著它撿起一塊石塊,把掉在地上堅(jiān)果放在石頭上,用石塊敲開堅(jiān)果,抓著果仁送進(jìn)自己的嘴巴。于是,這個(gè)林子里大大小小所有猴子的血液里都流淌著M星球WAIN的基因……?
They wandered to the edge of a forest, and saw the strange behavior of a monkey. He held the trunk of a small tree with his forelegs and shook it vigorously, and the fruit fell off the branch. Then he picked up a stone, put the nut on the ground, knocked the nut open with the stone, grabbed the nut and put it into his mouth. So, in this forest, all monkeys, big and small, have the gene of M star Wain flowing in their blood?
經(jīng)過幾代的演變,猴子終于變成了人。?
After several generations of evolution, monkeys have finally become human beings.?
