Main Robot ItemsIn this work, carbon atoms called "Z atoms" play an important role, as explained in detail below. "Z atom = carbon atom" was born in the universeThe aliens in the show refer to carbon atoms as "Z atoms." The aliens come to Earth in pursuit of "carbon atoms" that were born in space. At first, only a few types of atoms were born at the beginning of the universe (the Big Bang). However, when stars were formed from these atoms and began to shine, various types of atoms were created within those stars. "Carbon atoms" are one of the atoms that were created in this way. When stars exploded at the end of their lives, "carbon atoms" were scattered into space and became the material that created the next generation of stars, planets, and life. The "carbon atom" continues its journey on EarthWhat role does the "carbon atom" play on Earth? The aliens send a probe camera to Earth to investigate. They mark one of the "carbon atoms" and the probe camera continues to follow it. They discover a surprising truth. The "carbon atoms" floating in the air are taken up by plants and become the leaves and stems of those plants. The plants are eaten by animals, which in turn become food for other animals, and the "carbon atoms" are repeatedly used as part of the bodies of various living things. Finally, they leave the bodies of the living things and return to the air. In this way, the "carbon atoms" break down and float in the air, but are taken up by plants again and then embark on a journey to be used by various living things again. Living things on Earth, and we humans, exist in this constant flow of "carbon atoms." All living things play a key roleIn the program, an orchestra made up of various living creatures appears and plays music. Beautiful music cannot be created unless everyone works in sync. All living things on Earth are connected by these "carbon atoms." With each living thing fulfilling its own role in the ecosystem, the transfer of "carbon atoms" is smooth, and the harmony of the entire Earth system is maintained.
