Planet Concept 1

Hari ini, karena saya sedang bosan, saya membuat suatu konsep. Konsep tersebut terinsipirasi dari salah satu game yang dimainkan beberapa minggu yang lalu. Konsep ini belum sempurna karena memang belum
di edit lagi, harap dimaklumi. Silahkan membaca.

Planet C55708 or Eygranaskadonov ( In native language ) is a planet located in a solar system far away from Sol. It takes 2 months of travel for the fastest spaceship to get there. The solar system contains a star, 3 planet located near the star, a gas giant, an asteroid belt, and an ice planet. Recently, a scan on the ice planet’s surface reveals that there is an ocean beneath the thin layer of ice.

After it is consindered by many scientists, a satellite containing probes is launched there. As the satellite uses the latest technologies, the travel time is reduced to only a month. Few days ago, the satellite reached the solar system. The probe is soon deployed after the satellite reaches the planet.

The probes survives the atmospheric entry and manages to enter the ocean below. The probes collected samples of the water near the hydrothermal vents and reveals that there is indeed some microorganisms that thrives there.

However, life do comes in many sizes in the planet. There appears to be something the size of a whale that swallows a probe that travelled too far away. The satellite soon sends a command to the probe to stop exploring the vents and to venture throughout the ocean.

One of the probes discovers that in the equatorial region of the planet, there is no layer of ice. Even a continent appears to exist there. It is now known that a change in the star size causes enough heat to melt the equatorial region. The change also appears to destroy a planet located very close to the star.

Meanwhile, another probe finds a large field of multicellular organisms that is similar to tube worms in the hydrothermal vents. It is soon concluded that the “tube worms” takes the role of autotrophic organisms in the planet.

The probe later finds a large herd of crab-like animals that feed exclusively on the “trunk” of the autotroph. This leaves the “leaf” part untouched. However, the probe finds a light source nearby. It was apparently, a massive group of manatee-like animals. It eats the “leaf” by cutting them using small appendages near their mouth. The manatee-like organisms appears to lack eye. Instead, it communicates using bioluminescence. Instead of ears, the herbivore have rows of “lumps” in their back that they use as an audio receptor.

Somehow, both herds starts to swim away. A pod of a sleek, shark-like animals smaller than the “manatees” appears. An individual that appears to be the leader flashes his bioluminescence  organs in a certain order. The other individuals replies. The pod soon moves toward a “manatee” that is left behind.

The pod then splits, confusing the prey. The leader then open it’s “jaw”. The “jaw” appears to be flexible, similar to a snake. The pod soon clamps into the “manatee”’s gill-like organ. Within few minutes of struggle, the prey dies.

However, a larger predator wanted the prey for itself. The unknown animal suddenly uses it’s tongue-like appendage at the pod leader. The pod flees as the predator kills the leader. The probe disguises itself and manages to take a sample of the predator’s tongue liquid. It appears that the tongue is actually an appendage to poison other organisms.

Meanwhile, another probe finds a far large “underwater forest” in the equatorial region. The forest is different as it’s composed of photosynthetic organisms. The probe also found a herd of bizzare aquatic organisms that have a niche similar to a sauropod’s. Nearby the herd, a gigantic filter-feeder can be seen resting. It is revealed that the animal that accidentally ate the probe was the filter-feeder. A brown animal appears to rest in the branch. It appears to stare at the probe as if it was just another organism. Thinking that it was a sophont, the probe shows a hologramic message. Because of the mistake, the animal captures the probe and destroys it.

And so the days of exploration continues. The animals in the planet appears to be bizzare, yet their niches are quite similar to terran niches. From dinosaurian analogues to platypus and camel analogues, hundreds of new animals are discovered by the probes. However, there is one certain thing. There appears to be no sophont.

That is, until a probe discovers that the weird mounds of materials are actually an underwater city. The satellites then re-assigns the probes to venture deeper into the underwater city. There is one problem for sure, the scientists can’t be entirely sure how to made the first contact to work well…

I’m now searching for interesting articles in one of the most reliable data resource in this planet. The news are still usual. Most of them are about land colonization, and that a complete fossil of an extinct order of animals are found. Just that, it’s a boring day isn’t it.

I then searches in the search engine for sophont concepts. Nothing appears to be weird. They appears to be just like us with few differences. I mean, is there something quite bizzare like a four-limbed organisms that communicates using weird appendages, and that their appearance is so weird, that even our language can’t exactly describe them.

I then saw that there appears to be some round metal object in the zoo.Yeah right, probably some of the more common hoaxes. However, a video of it shows that it tries to communicate with an animal said to have high intelligence, almost a sophont. The hologram shown also appears to have a bizzare planet, and that the sophont on it have a uncomprehensible form.

Suddenly, there was a small earthquake. I walked away from my house and found that a “spaceship” lands in the neighbour’s house. More “spaceship” can be found through all cities in the world, and it was apparently on the news too. I then approaches the hologram and saw the sophont’s information.

An unmanned submarine manages to do the first contact. However, it causes the sophonts to be scared. There appears to be enough information for the mission to be finished. Soon, the mission is finished and there were no humans or any human tools left behind. However, one questions remains. What if, instead of humans exploring the planet, we have the sophonts doing so to Earth.

Lebih Awal Dari Archaeopteryx ?

Baru-baru ini ditemukan dinosaurus baru dari China. Dinosaurus tersebut hanya berukuran 30 cm.

Dinosaurus tersebut dinamai Eosinopteryx. Meskipun berbulu dan terlihat seperti burung, dinosaurus

tersebut tidak dapat terbang. Alasannya karena ukuran sayap dan struktur tulangnya.

Alasan penemuan tersebut menarik adalah bukan karena binatang tersebut merupakan burung pertama, namun karena binatang tersebut adalah salah satu dinosaurus berbulu pertama.

Lebih menariknya, dinosaurus tersebut merupakan troodont, kelompok dinosaurus yang

biasanya ditemukan pada periode Cretaceous.
