Chapter 239 Titan
Titan Outpost Plan
Eight big words floated in front of everyone.
"That's the specific situation." Lu Yongchang stood at the conference table, shrugged and said.
"Because of the consumption of hydrocarbons, we need to go to Titan to collect various hydrocarbons."
"Everyone, do you have any comments?"
As he said that, he glanced around the conference table.
A few seconds later.
"Very good, it seems that no one has any objections, and this matter is decided."
"Zero, which driver in Mars City is available now?"
A holographic image opened in front of Lu Yongchang.
"Zhao Zijie...it's him."
"Notify him and pack his luggage now." Lu Yongchang immediately made a decision, "Zero, transfer a phoenix 1 starship."
...
One day later.
Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang dragged two large suitcases and walked up to the [Xunmu] space elevator with a confused look on their faces.
"Zijie, are we going to Saturn?" Until now, Gao Yang has not reacted.
“To be precise, Titan.”
Zhao Zijie showed a helpless and tired smile on his face.
The two of them had just brought back from the asteroid three days ago and were ready to enjoy a one-week vacation.
As a result, all plans were broken by a holographic image.
"God... the Titan Outpost Plan, the plan is getting crazier now." Gao Yang murmured to himself.
While dragging his suitcase to his side, Zhao Zijie said, "It's probably a project proposed by Professor Lu again."
"By the way, you've packed all your luggage?"
"I guess it will take at least a few weeks for us to come back."
Gao Yang patted the suitcase beside him vigorously.
"rest assured!"
The next second, he leaned into Zhao Zijie's ear and whispered: "Enough snacks!"
Zhao Zijie's eyes lit up and he nodded with satisfaction.
...
The time of interstellar voyage is extremely boring.
"drop!"
Just as Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang used rock-scissors to decide the ownership of the last pack of spicy strips, a clear reminder rang in the cockpit of Luan Bird.
Zhao Zijie quickly turned his head and looked at the holographic image in front of the console.
[To be arriving at the destination soon, the phoenix 1 type is about to start slowing down, please enter the deep sea cabin immediately]
He subconsciously glanced at the portholes around him.
A planet with a yellowish body and a wide ring of star rings around it came into view.
That's Saturn.
...
"Ahem!!"
As the deep-sea cabin door opened, Zhao Zijie looked up at the porthole while coughing.
A small orange planet came into view.
"Ahem! Is this Titan?" Gao Yang's voice came from the side.
Like Zhao Zijie, he was also trying hard to cough out some deep-sea fluid remaining in the trachea.
Although these deep-sea fluids can be absorbed by the human body, the feeling of their adherence to the trachea is hard to describe.
Therefore, every starship pilot has developed the habit of "coughing as soon as he leaves the cabin".
Zhao Zijie stared at the small satellite through the porthole and nodded slightly.
"If the navigation is correct, it should be."
"What are these yellow things?" Gao Yang glanced carefully, frowned and said, "How does it look similar to smog?"
"Didn't it mean that most of the Titan atmosphere is filled with nitrogen and hydrocarbons?"
Facing Gao Yang's questions, Zhao Zijie shrugged.
"I heard that it is an organic sediment torin similar to tar."
"Torlin? What is this?" Gao Yang's eyes were even more confused.
Zhao Zijie looked back helplessly at his teammate: "How many have you tested in astrochemistry?"
“…just passed the exam.”
"No wonder you didn't know." Zhao Zijie looked relieved.
"Torlin, a substance that exists on cold stars far from the mother star."
"A mixture of simple organic matter such as methane and ethane formed under ultraviolet irradiation."
"It is usually light red or brown. There should be a small amount of torin in Otelman, so this color will appear."
Gao Yang nodded in confusion.
At this moment, three ultimate questions of life flashed through his mind.
Who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going?
"Okay, I won't talk to you about this." Zhao Zijie turned around and walked towards the locker room, "Prepare, we're going to land."
...
Titan high-rise track.
The 800-meter-long starship slowly passed by.
"Land directly?" Gao Yang looked back at Zhao Zijie who was sitting in the captain's seat with concern, "The phoenix has never landed on the surface of the planet."
"Don't worry." Zhao Zijie stared at the holographic image in front of him, adjusting the parameters one by one.
Without zero participation, the entire landing process has a little more risk.
Although there is weak artificial intelligence 1, if you really encounter extreme situations, weak artificial intelligence will definitely not solve the problem.
“Zero did a simulation before coming.”
"The planets such as Titan and Mars and Earth are different. They are just a satellite after all."
"According to detection, its gravity is about the same as the moon."
"With the thick atmosphere, it's much less difficult to land."
While saying that, Zhao Zijie entered the last parameter to the onboard computer: "Okay! It's time for us to land!"
The moment the words fell, the nose of the Luan Bird Starship sank slightly, and a sense of slowing down came instantly.
The Luan Bird Starship, which was transformed into a streamlined fuselage, slowly descended.
The moment it contacted the atmosphere, a violent shaking came from the fuselage.
Weak Artificial Intelligence 1 strictly follows the procedures and quickly adjusts the power of each Hall thruster to maintain the balance of the starship as much as possible.
As the height continues to drop, the orange outside the porthole becomes more and more intense.
When the starship was more than 10,000 meters above the ground, the hull gradually returned to stability.
Driven by Hall thruster, the Luan Bird Starship, with a size of 800 meters, used the streamlined hull tore open the dense atmosphere and slid smoothly at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
"Damn..." Gao Yang looked at the picture coming from the camera and murmured to himself, "This is not much different from the structure of the earth!"
The holographic images show Titan's surface images and various parameters.
Surface temperature: -179.15 degrees Celsius.
Countless lakes of all sizes, winding rivers, and land with less obvious ups and downs...
"Where are we landing?" Gao Yang looked at the scenery of the other world in front of him with a look of marvel and asked in a low voice.
"ocean!"
