Chapter 568 Strange World
After discovering life, everyone's passion for exploration burst out. Seeing that the Great Rift Valley was very stable, someone suggested whether they could go down and see. Especially everyone wanted to see if there was a strange ecosystem below. A groundwater world generated by gravitational friction to generate heat, a life world hidden below 100 kilometers, and a life world 778 million kilometers away from the sun.
In fact, some people think this way: Finally, an alien planet is filled with oxygen, and the atmospheric pressure below is equivalent to that of the earth. If you can breathe, it will be worth it! The temperature here is very low, but you can set up a tent! Moreover, you can breathe carefully at about minus 40 degrees Celsius, and there is still no problem if you breathe carefully - the Earth's Antarctic is more than minus 60 degrees Celsius, and there are still people who can breathe directly!
Not to mention, although this rift valley is at least 56 kilometers deep, almost twice the height of the Earth's advection atmosphere; even if the gravity here is low, the oxygen mass is high, making the low atmospheric pressure here almost the same as the Earth. If you don't take a good look at such a strange extraterrestrial planet, you're so sorry for yourself!
However, it is still very dangerous to explore a strange planet, especially this frozen world, which is very fragile. Perhaps, if you are affected by Jupiter's gravity in the next moment, new cracks will be created. You should know that just because of the friction caused by Jupiter's gravity, a groundwater world is formed, which can be imagined as the huge impact of its gravity and the degree of activity of this ice world.
"First find a place with a depth of 56 kilometers to explore. The ice layer here is thick and relatively safe. It is relatively close to the ground. Once danger occurs, you can escape better." Li Canglan persuaded those who want to go directly to the depth of 100 kilometers and drill holes to find life. It is good to have the spirit of adventure. But it is not good to be foolish and don't care about your own life. Especially now, the exploration activities on the earth are still in the cultivation period, and casualties will always dispel some people's enthusiasm.
Strengthening ropes mixed with carbon fiber and olefins are definitely the most powerful material today. This rope that can be used to drag a planet, the thickness of hair, can lift hundreds of kilograms of weight. The gravity on Europa is very low, only 1.3 more. A person who wears a space suit is about 200 kilograms, and here, the weight shown is only 26.5 kilograms.
It is said that the organic fibers made by master companies imitating spider silk have entered the final public relations stage, and their strength is more powerful than the current carbon fibers. However, organic fibers are not resistant to high and low temperatures, not resistant to aging, etc.
In just half a day, a small base was built. It was mainly some fixed winches, rescue devices, biological maintenance items, etc. After all, this height is at least 56 kilometers, and it takes a lot of effort to transport materials back and forth. The best way is to transport the items directly below as much as possible. Then strictly monitor the safety conditions here, as long as there is no danger, there is no need to come up. Especially the oxygen below is sufficient and the pressure is sufficient. The temperature is not unbearable to minus 170 degrees below minus 40 degrees below minus 40 degrees below purity, and it is very good in the universe environment; no, to be precise, it is already a miracle place.
As long as you use a small amount of energy, you can obtain the oxygen and moisture necessary for life. It can be said that this is simply a holy place for adventure and learning! It’s a pity that it is a bit far away from the earth, close to Jupiter in space, and the radiation and magnetic field are a bit large.
The winch roared slightly, and the thin atmosphere here allowed humans to hear the sound.
Li Canglan looked around and said, "It's ready. Everyone, be prepared. Finally, I declare that entering the adventure below is extremely dangerous. The height of 56 kilometers is 56 kilometers. Once the danger occurs, there is no time to transfer."
"Hey! Captain Li, your words are wrong. Since we dare to take a space adventure, we are not afraid of this. To be honest, I am willing to come because of danger." A member of a small adventure team replied in a loud voice.
Li Canglan looked at this person and nodded to him to express his approval. This person was an adventure team that registered late, with only 30 people, a small spacecraft, and his name was very simple: Shi Tou; and this person is the captain of this adventure team, Shi Yuming! A passionate youth group who had just graduated from university and applied for a bank loan. However, after three years, he has paid back the loan, and has been preparing to buy a second spacecraft after returning this time. It is a small example of the external publicity of expert companies.
There are more than 2,000 adventurers on Europa, but more than half a day has passed, and everyone has only 5 hours left. For safety reasons, even if it is safer, Li Canglan forces the personnel to take turns to rest, and the resting position is a spaceship in space. After all, there are too many uncertain dangers in life on such a cold and strange planet. Maybe when you fall asleep, the ice layer under you will crack, and then you will all enjoy the free whereabouts of the foreign land.
However, the remaining five hours are enough to put some materials and so on the lower world and complete the reserve exploration work.
Li Canglan led the employees of the master company to lead the way, followed by the country, and finally the general adventure team. The first batch had hundreds of people, and was swaying in mid-air, slowly falling under the action of the hoist.
After all, this is an alien planet, a strange frozen planet, and a strange life was discovered just now. This makes every person who is descending, the boss who is waiting for his eyes. Although, in this dark world, everything is very hazy.
"Wow!" Shi Yuming, who was in his 20s, was surprised and alarmed everyone. In an instant, all the hoist stopped, and the people around him saw an unexpected thing following the flashlight light - a creature that was frozen like an octopus and jellyfish assembled as a group! In the ice, the creature was a little light red, a huge veil, which looked as soft as gauntlets, and more than a dozen long tentacles were frozen like streamers. Everyone could only see a rough shape through the broken ice surface.
"Continue down. This object is at least 10 meters long; and it is already ten kilometers deep here, and it is very difficult to dig it out. We might as well continue to go deeper and search below." Li Canglan made a quick decision.
The hoist continues to work, and everyone continues to fall. However, the falling speed has been much lower. In addition, the detectors previously deployed are more about exploring the safety of the ice surface; and now, the existence of organisms has begun to be explored.
As the ice descends, frozen creatures began to diversify. The most common ones were the kind of creatures like water mist, densely packed in the ice, and if you don’t look carefully, you can hardly see it. Obviously, this should be a life at the lowest end of the food chain. The biggest one is the huge creature I just saw. But they are all in the ice and cannot be seen in detail. In addition, all creatures give people a jellyfish-like feeling: translucent and hazy like water mist.
