Human beings have never seen aliens, but they have many imaginations about aliens, and these imaginary aliens have more or less the shadow of a creature, that is, the octopus.

The octopus has long been considered the most alien-like creature, not only because of its unique appearance, but also its way of action, which is derived from its large number of brains. Yes, you heard it right, the octopus has more than one brain. In fact, in addition to the main brain, there is also an independent brain on each of the eight legs of the octopus. In other words, the octopus is a creature with 9 brains, which allows them to move their eight legs in an extremely coordinated manner.

In the body of a living thing, the brain is the most energy-consuming organ. With 9 brains, the energy consumption is naturally very high. Therefore, in order to provide these 9 brain functions, the octopus has grown 3 hearts. With such an unusual body structure, it is no wonder that people say that the octopus is the most alien-like creature.

Facts have proved that the brains of octopuses are not in vain. They have extremely strong learning ability and can completely crush other creatures in the ocean with their wisdom. So since octopuses are so smart, why did they fail to establish civilization and let humans take the lead?

Let us first think about a question, why can human beings continue to improve their wisdom and establish civilization?

Having a smart brain is one thing, but another indispensable key is inheritance. The ancestors passed on their wisdom to the next generation, and the next generation continued to explore on the basis of the predecessors, and then continued to pass on the new wisdom downwards, and so on, and modern civilization came into being. If the ancestors do not pass on their wisdom in any form, and the parents commit suicide as soon as the child is born, then no matter how many years pass, human beings will always be in an era of eating hair and drinking blood, and this is what happens to octopuses.

After mating, in order to ensure the success rate of conception, the male octopus will break off the tip of the handover wrist and leave it inside the female octopus.

Octopuses do not have the ability to regenerate broken limbs. To tear off an arm or foot is equivalent to a serious injury and will die soon. After the female octopus gives birth to a baby, she will immediately tear her body apart and starve to death. The reason for this is because octopuses have the habit of cannibalism. Self-destruction can prevent the baby from becoming their own meal. But there is a big disadvantage in doing so, that is, wisdom can never be passed on, and a smart mind is of no use. But not all octopuses are like this. A small number of deep-sea octopuses do not commit suicide after giving birth. Therefore, some scientists suspect that octopuses have established civilization in the deep sea. However, this is only a bold conjecture and there is currently no ability to detect it.

There is a planet in the solar system that has an environment similar to the deep sea of ​​the Earth. It is Europa .

The surface of Europa is covered with ice, and the thickness of these ice layers can reach more than 100 kilometers. What's beneath the ice? It's an ocean, an ocean 100 kilometers deep. Scientists believe that Europa's ocean has the conditions to nurture life, because the ice itself has a thermal insulation effect, and the 100-kilometer-thick ice layer is equivalent to exerting an atmospheric pressure on the ocean. More importantly, there are hot springs at the bottom of Europa's ocean, because these hot springs sometimes eject water vapor out of the ice surface and are observed by us.

You must know that life on earth originated near the mouth of hydrothermal vents on the seafloor, which increases the possibility of life on Europa. Unfortunately, there is no way to detect it with current human capabilities.

So if there is life in Europa’s ocean, what would it look like? Scientists from Liverpool Hope University in the United Kingdom believe that if there is life on Jupiter, it is likely to look like an octopus, and they do not rule out the possibility that they have established civilization.Because Europa's ocean has many similarities with the Earth's deep-sea environment, perhaps there is a creature similar to the Earth's deep-sea octopus living there. They will not die of suicide, but will pass on their wisdom from generation to generation.
