Colonizers from the Sun
Chapter 232:Colonizers from the Sun
Noah is expected to reach the third orbit of the Nix star in a minute, and the countdown begins: 60, 59, 58...
On January 17, 2009, humans flew in endless space for nearly five years, and the external theory of relativity lasted about 22 years.
It is 9:28 a.m., and the Noah spacecraft has officially arrived in the outer space orbit of the Knicks!
Distance from the solar system... 21.4 light-years away!
This is a space expedition that mankind never thought of!
Many people happily jumped on the astronomical observatory, and they were full of enthusiasm to observe the gray-and-soaked planet that was about to land.
According to the endless news reports that have emerged in the past month, the general public basically understood a general: Nix Star is a dense earth-like planet with a dense atmosphere, and even a large amount of oxygen in the atmosphere!
Through this, people are almost certain... there is life on the planet!
There is life, anyway, human beings have done such psychological expectations.
Much of the work was done to fight extraterrestrial microbes, including a variety of killing poison water, high-temperature disinfection boxes, strict isolation measures, and... broad-spectrum immune agents!
Another point is that having life does not mean having “wisdom life”!
The "universal law of life" may apply in this universe, and the emergence of primitive life may be relatively easy, but "intelligent life" or "civilization" is not necessarily!
Such a bad planetary environment can never give birth to large-scale intelligent life, right?
This is not just the common idea of ordinary people, but also the common idea of scientists.
It's hard, it's too hard!
The average surface temperature of the planet is minus 120 degrees, which is not an environment in which large-scale life can reproduce normally.
The most important thing is that there is no star's light on the surface of the Knicks star, there is no stable energy source, is the heat of large life only dependent on volcanoes to maintain?
What if the volcano erupts?It can kill all creatures covered by magma!
In this case, it is difficult for large organisms to grow, and intelligent life is even more difficult.
But microbes don’t matter, they have a strong vitality, and even if they are volcanic eruptions, they can’t kill all the microbes... After the eruption, they can reproduce very quickly.
Scientists have speculated that the planet may have a species of cyanobacteria that rely on geothermal energy to reproduce.
They absorb geothermal energy, synthesize carbon dioxide into organic matter, and metabolize oxygen.Over time, the planet has produced so much oxygen.
"30 global satellites have been successfully launched, and the global positioning system has officially opened!"
"Unmanned detection system officially began!"
Because the planet is likely to be a foothold within a few years or decades, various astronomical and geographic groups have exerted great efforts.They worked hard to find a suitable, materially rich landing area.
Automated testing took more than two weeks.The whole observation operation has made good progress, giving a preliminary understanding of the geological appearance of the Knicks.
The only thing that makes me feel speechless is that the volcanic eruption is too much!
The geological activity of this planet is so intense that almost every day there are volcanoes, large and small, erupting!
The thick volcanic ash floats over the atmosphere almost every moment, causing some trouble for the satellite detection system.
"The current geological survey situation is roughly out: 80% of the ocean, the surface is covered with thick ice, I don't know how deep.About 20 per cent of the landmass, due to the large number of volcanic fog, some areas have never been able to detect by satellite.”
“However, unmanned detectors and drones have examined some areas of the surface, found no traces of activity of large organisms, only found the presence of some microorganisms ... and our expectations are consistent!”
“We have found an area of an extinct volcano.According to the analysis, the volcano has been completely silent, and has not erupted for nearly 10 million years, which is safe enough!And because of the volcanic eruptions in the area, there are enough mineral resources, which is a good base location!”
“Your mission is to discover the specific geological composition of the region, to capture different microbial specimens, and ... to build the first small base!”
Yu Yifeng looked at the row of people standing in front of him, respectively, Zhao Yao, Shen Jie and other soldiers, who were wearing X-003 power armor, and behind them were more than 60 soldiers.
Next up were more than 30 engineers, more than 30 biologists, and several journalists.And... a big black dog in a power armor!
People have been preparing for this work for so long that it is impossible to give up landfall because of some microorganisms or active volcanoes.This is no better than the amount of resources that are about to be acquired!
Yu Yifeng looked at them carefully and said seriously: "We will send three A-type spacecraft this time."There will be a manned spacecraft, a cargo plane and a base-type spacecraft.”
"This landing is very important, if the location is indeed suitable, it means the continuous follow-up of a large number of excavation machinery!"
“Zhao Yao, you have the right to press the nuclear button!”If you encounter any uncontrollable danger, you can abandon a lot of equipment to escape, but ... people must bring me back!"
“Understood!”
"Shen Jie, you take the person responsible for the specific biochemical control!"Whether indoors or outdoors, everyone must wear a power armor!Everyone has their own compartment, and eating and drinking water must be carried out in their own compartment.And... the big black feeding work is also handed to you!"
The big black dog seemed to understand, and the “whisper” called two times.As a super-individual outside of Yifeng, it now serves as a resistance to microbes.
“Understood!”
"Dr. łodamura, the microbiological prevention work is left to you... If necessary, you can also use a broad-spectrum immune reagent!"
In the past, Yu Yifeng commanded one thing, and he felt like a tongue-in-command with a mouthful.
But this kind of work is not necessary for him to care!He wished he had to pass by himself, but it was clear that sitting in this position was impossible!
In the end, after all the work tasks were completed, he nodded and said, “Then go ahead and get ready and leave in half an hour!”
At the same time, he added another mouth: "If there is really any danger, I will allow you to return to Noah!"Even if you lose something...”
In this way, until more than ten minutes later, a group of talents took the electromagnetic train and entered the ring track.
A soldier patted his chest and said with great exclamation: "Mr. Yu is usually very serious, but now..."
“That’s very good, isn’t it?”
Captain Zhao Yao held the armrest on the train, and he checked the situation of the power armor: "If only... he would like to go on it himself!"But now he says he may have saved your little life!Do you all understand your mission?”
“Understood!”
While the crowd was talking, the train stopped and nearly 130 people took to an A001 spacecraft.
Everyone stopped talking, but sat in their respective positions, fastened their seat belts, and waited for the spacecraft to take off.
It is impossible to say that you are not nervous at this time!
Zhao Yao's black face was red, obviously in extreme excitement, and even with some fear.But for him, the desolation of a planet means the glory of the world, it means that the memory of history, this instinctive fear is nothing, in any case, please do things well.
"The door of the ship is about to close, please be prepared for the relevant take-off."Please wear a seat belt!”A soft electronic sound gives a hint.
“Particle engine detection program starts... spacecraft adaptive orbit calculation ... ready!”
“The ring track docking work is started ... the track is 100 percent smooth.It is expected that the ship will start in 30 seconds, and the countdown will start at 29 and 28...”
At this time, on the whole Noah, 60,000 people were staring at each other.
Astronomical observatories are already packed with people, and even soldiers are maintaining order in order to cause unnecessary disturbances.
The first colonists from the solar system are about to land on the planet Knicks!
