Deep Space Fleet

之前 Before this exploration, scientists launched several artificial satellites in advance and tried to use remote sensing technology to discover mineral deposits exposed on the surface. Over the past few days, most of the planet's data has been collected, and various minerals have indeed been discovered.

However, people have high requirements for minerals, not only in terms of abundance, but also in terms of transportation. The distribution of mineral deposits cannot always be located in the east and the west. If each place is separated by thousands of kilometers, it is very troublesome to transport. , It is best to focus on the area within a radius of one hundred kilometers. It will be much easier to lay the railway. First https: // https: //

Through satellite detection, the accuracy will decrease with the increase of depth. Most of the minerals on the planet are hidden under the ground, so still rely on another simple technology-planet impact!

抛 Dropping heavy objects from high altitude, quickly impacting the planet, and then analyzing the rising dust, we can get the specific composition of rocks and soil.

Among them, the most critical minerals are water resources and organic matter.

理论 The planet is theoretically deficient in metal, but only the two.

"The temperature difference on the planet's surface is too great, and there can be no water on the surface ... so water resources are likely to be hidden in deeper surfaces and presented in the form of ice cubes. We have found a large number of ice mines in the north and south of the planet. But the north and south poles are too far from the spacecraft's stopping point, and the transportation is not convenient. "

"As for organic compounds, it is the top priority of this survey. Whether it is the production of carbon fiber, or the growth and development of plants, humans, and animals, all require the support of organic matter ..."

On the display screen, a hostess is broadcasting the planet impact experiment. Many ordinary people are concentrated in the central square, waiting for this exciting result.

"Satellite 1" is similar to the moon, and theoretically a small amount of organic matter exists. But if there is no large-scale enrichment, it will be too difficult for humans to develop, and the economic value will be greatly reduced.

It is impossible to go to the next life planet to extract organic matter. Various microorganisms are enough for humans to eat a pot.

I watched the satellite gradually fly away, Zhang Yuan felt a little nervous, "Should it be okay?"

A scientist around Wu said: "It's hard to say that if these two sources are not found, our development speed will slow down a lot ..."

"It's even more troublesome to change the planet."

Other planets have their own advantages and disadvantages, either they are too close to the star, or they lack certain elements, or their geological activity is very intense, and now there will be volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

In addition, these artificial satellites are brought from the earth. Once launched, it can be difficult to recover them. By then there would be no artificial satellites, and exploration of other planets could only rely on manual surveys, which greatly reduced the efficiency.

"The movement of the mother ship will consume a lot of fuel. Alas, it will be a one-time success ..."

Zhang Yuan silently prayed in his heart for a while, then stared at the big screen.

As the experiment progressed, the speaking speed of the commentator next door began to accelerate: "Audience friends ... As you can see, the satellite is approaching the first target area."

"According to experts' estimates, this is a super volcano here billions of years ago. As everyone knows, a volcanic eruption may swallow a lot of material, which will be accompanied by some organic matter and sulfur compounds ... This is a very good Of choice ... "

"The experiment has begun!"

In the screen, an iron ball was suddenly ejected from the artificial satellite. After a long free fall, the iron ball became faster and faster ...

In an instant, the iron ball crashed to the ground, because there was no air deceleration, and its energy was comparable to a high explosive bomb, enough to raise a huge dust.

Of course, no sound can be heard in the vacuum, it is just Zhang Yuan's brain tonic the whole process.

好 "Well, audiences, what you need next is to wait patiently for a few hours, and our scientists will use spectrum analysis to analyze the specific components of these dust ..."

This seemingly boring experiment has been repeated sixteen times.

Even if the commentator is more experienced, how to mobilize emotions, the melon-eating crowd in the hall is still drowsy, and most of them have left unconsciously.ァ 新 ヤ ~ ⑧ ~ 1 ~ 中文 网 ωωω.χ ~ ⒏ ~ 1zщ.còм

In fact, many scientific research surveys are very boring, not as passionate as imagined. What ordinary people need is just a result.

But in the Earth Control Center's central control room, many researchers have been busy, and researchers' brows have sometimes stretched and frowned. The results of the first few experiments are not too ideal ...

This time passed slowly, and it was not until 3 pm that people found abundant thiophene, aromatic and aliphatic organic compounds in the mud and dust of No. 5 crater. The abundance of organic matter in this area is more than sixty times that of ordinary places, and it is already very valuable for mining.

Even below the area, there are a large number of hollows caused by the original volcanic eruption and a thick layer of natural ice, with a reserve of about 120 million tons. The amount of this water resource is not too much, it is only equivalent to the water of 10 West Lakes, but it is directly 40 times more than the 3 million tons of water stored by the Earth Age itself!

For current humans, it is already a huge amount of water!

The news came, and there was a small cheer in the conference room.

"I did not expect two important substances to be found at once." Captain Zhao Jian said with joy: "It proves that our worries are superfluous. The planet is so large, how could there be no such resources ..."

In the next few days, each of the detection robots will be lowered from the mother ship, focusing on the geological conditions of No. 5 crater ~ www.novelmtl.com ~, and collecting the geotechnical specimens in each area, and then transporting them back through the rope. Mothership.

For safety reasons, more than 1,000 biologists and doctors were summoned and kept busy all night. People carefully cut these geotechnical specimens and tried to confirm that there were no living things inside. There is a life planet next door, and microbial contamination is not impossible.

There are many specimens that need to be tested. They are scattered in various places of 100 square kilometers, and there are tens of thousands in total.

But no one feels hard. Many people are as excited as they were fighting chicken blood.

Fortunately, no, there are no possible life forms ... including carbon-based life, or imaginary silicon-based life!

After reaching this conclusion, everyone cheered again, and the last danger point was ruled out.

主要 The main development base of the new civilization has no doubt emerged.

"Today is undoubtedly an exciting day. Starting today, we have found our own colonial base."

"A hundred years later, perhaps our technology has caught up with the earth's civilization ... we will also launch our own deep space colony ship and start a real seeding plan! But there is no doubt that all origins start today."

"Let's cheer for this day!"

Zhang Zhangyuan saw the colleagues discussing it enthusiastically, and was also excited and applauded. I don't know why, there is always a faint sense of depression in his heart, and the direction of that depression comes from ...

The planet of life next door?
