Chapter 545: The vast ocean at -225 degrees Celsius
After waiting for a while, the operation of each subsystem also came into Li Chuan's ears, and the latter immediately said: "Helper, set the calibration, prepare for the leap!"
"Received!" The main pilot of the spacecraft responded. If you want to say that the most precious thing on this spacecraft is definitely the transition room, but the real priceless treasure is undoubtedly the star map. Even if it is reduced to the navigation of the earth, the importance of the navigation map is self-evident. The star map is the same. It indicates the exact location and clearly what is the coordinates of the space. You don't have to face the unknown horror.
Without the information provided by the four-dimensional hypercube, you will not get the star map and it is impossible to know the existence of the wandering planet. Even if this planet is absolutely impossible to find in this nebula, the distance of a few light years is too big for humans.
As a ray of light flashed in this dark eternal night land, the "Wentian" spacecraft entered a jump in the field of measurement.
About 2.8 light years away from the wormhole, accompanied by a flash of light curtains, the "Ask the Sky" jumped to the predetermined starry sky coordinate area.
Outside the porthole is still a vain dark outer space, as if the spacecraft has no displacement at all and is still in its original space area.
But the data will not deceive people, and the spacecraft has successfully completed the designated leap.
"A gravitational disturbance was detected, and the space-time bending phenomenon was obvious. It was just 1.6 million kilometers away, located at the 31-degree angle of the spacecraft on the starboard side." The crew member who monitored the real-time data immediately shouted.
"Is there really a wandering planet in this nebula?" Chu Siyuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but show a very excited expression. The abnormal gravity and the time and space are curved, indicating that there is a large-mass celestial body where these data sources are located. Although the nebula blocks all light, it can detect the bending and disturbance of gravity on space when approaching.
"Calculate the celestial body's gravity scalar as soon as possible, escape speed, mass, or whether there is atmosphere or not..." Li Chuan said immediately, turning around and looking out into the outer space through the porthole, there was still a dark and empty starry sky in front of him.
沉思者,黎川似乎觉得想到了什么.
This wandering planet is obviously hidden in this nebula. The wandering planet itself does not emit light, does not radiate electromagnetic waves to the outside, and will not generate gravitational waves. Without exact beacons and star map coordinates, it is simply impossible to find its existence in the known universe.
Similarly, the wormhole also hides his existence by this huge nebula body.
This made Li Chuan realize the preciousness and scarcity of the value of Zhong element material. Perhaps this kind of material may not exist in the entire Milky Way. Otherwise, why would "they" have to work hard to set up many obstacles, and even use black holes to hide these messages, ensuring that there are and can only be humans able to obtain all of this smoothly.
"The data information of unknown wandering celestial bodies has been initially obtained!"
When Li Chuan heard this, he immediately came to the central console and pressed it on the display panel a few times. A spherical three-dimensional model was projected, and a series of live data were listed.
天体质量:6.5234*10^25千克;
赤道半径:13178千米;
表面引力:15.423米/平方秒;
逃逸速度:21.73千米/秒;
自转周期:129小时;
Planetary composition: Earth-like planet composed of material structures such as rocks and metals;
Atmospheric composition: 42% helium, 12% neon, 13.5% krypton, 31.9% hydrogen and other small amounts of substances.
Li Chuan was slightly surprised to see that the atmospheric component of the wandering planet is inert gas accounting for more than half of the atmosphere. However, since this celestial body is in a nebula at the beginning of the birth of a star, it is not surprising that hydrogen and helium were detected in the interstellar matter in outer space, which are the two most common substances in the universe.
It is known that all elements in the universe come from nuclear fusion. Stars are constantly undergoing nuclear fusion. Lighter elements generate helium, helium fusion produces carbon and oxygen, carbon and oxygen fusion produces neon, magnesium, sodium, aluminum, and then iron.
However, the larger the atomic mass number, the harder the element to fusion, and the larger the atomic number, it is easy to fission.
"Start surface stereoscopic surveying and mapping, obtain surface terrain data and prepare to log in." Li Chuan closed the data display panel and arranged a new task again, and the team members began to take action.
The transition shuttle came this time not only brought 10 tons of nuclear material supply, but also brought satellite probes.
In the main cabin of the spacecraft, a crew member was walking on the floor with a floating satellite. The inside of the spacecraft was weightless, but the crew member's soles had an electromagnetic generation system that could absorb metal floors.
After this mission is over, the "Wentian" spacecraft needs to be greatly modified and a new artificial gravity module system is added, so the future deep space exploration activities will inevitably be much more convenient.
It took more than ten minutes to work with two other colleagues to load the surveying and mapping satellite into a catapult window inside the spacecraft.
"Resource 5c satellite is ready."
At this moment, the "Wentian" spacecraft is approaching towards the wandering planet. It sailed for about 7 hours and sailed for 1.5 million kilometers. The spacecraft began to slow down and finally orbited the celestial body in a high-altitude orbit.
On the bridge, the driver stared at the data display panel, put his other hand on the instrument table, and his thumb was already attached to about one of the buttons.
“…3…2…1 Launch!”
Pressing the button, an artificial satellite was ejected from the side of the "Qingtian" flying around the planet in space.
"Satellites enter orbit accurately!"
"Start map planet surface data!"
“Quantum data is loading!”
“A three-dimensional model is being built!”
On the bridge, each member of the team was responsible for their respective work in an orderly manner. Li Chuan stood on the central console, and a large amount of data was also listed on the console. Chu Siyuan, on one side, also stood on the other side of the console, dancing quickly on the display panel with his hands and ten fingers.
As surveying and mapping satellites orbit around celestial bodies in orbit, data is continuously loaded onto the spacecraft. Through rapid calculations by quantum computers, Chu Siyuan is building a complete three-dimensional model.
About 157 minutes later, as the Resource Mapping satellite orbited the celestial body for one round, complete information was transmitted to the spacecraft. The computer established a mathematical model based on the existing data, and the landform on the surface of the celestial body was finally revealed.
Chu Siyuan looked at the live data and said in surprise: "The terrain on the surface of the celestial body is so single and flat, either a super giant plain or... the ocean in the main film, if it is an ocean... wouldn't that be..."
When he said this, Chu Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and was shocked. The data showed that the temperature on the surface of the planet was -225 degrees Celsius. If it were not the big plain, there was only one possibility, which was the vast ocean composed of Zhong element substance. This magical substance would exist in liquid form below -147 degrees Celsius.
"Prepare to land!" Li Chuan said immediately. He was also very excited, but it was not revealed. There is still a high probability that it is the Great Plain. You should know that this is a terrestrial planet wandering in the universe. The core is almost cooled, and there are no stars to provide energy for it, which means that it will not have obvious geological activities, and the topography and terrain characteristics on the surface of the planet will be very single.
After a while, Li Chuan and Chu Siyuan also left the console and returned to their seats to wear seat belts.
Ten minutes later, the "Ask Tian" spacecraft broke out of its orbit and entered the atmosphere towards the planet's surface. Since it was inside a nebula, the planet itself did not shine, and the outside of the porthole was pitch black.
As the surface of "Wentian" was logged in, the shield outside the porthole was also closed.
After entering the atmosphere, the violent air friction caused a ray of starlight to appear in this dark world. Under the scale of this huge planet, it was just a star fire, but as the only light emitted by this eternal night land is so dazzling.
Sixteen minutes later, the "Wentian" spacecraft successfully entered the planet's surface, and the coordinates were shown in the northern hemisphere. At this time, the spacecraft was cruising at low altitude and low speed in the air.
The crew members' expressions were not natural. The surface gravity of this planet is larger than that of the earth, about 1.7 to 2 times the surface gravity of the earth. Standing on this planet is equivalent to bearing twice the weight than itself.
Li Chuan, Chu Siyuan and others took off their seat belts and stood up again, but they were all very difficult. After all, their bodies were bearing twice their own weight, but they were not enough to force them to even walk.
At this moment, the spacecraft is flying at an altitude of 120 meters above sea level on the surface of the planet, of course, if there is a "ocean" here.
"Open the porthole shield!" Li Chuan said calmly, and Chu Siyuan couldn't help but walk to the porthole, with his hands pressing against the transparent porthole.
As the shield slowly opened, the outside world was still full of eternal night, but soon, the pilot turned on the visible strong light at the head of the ship, and the bright light curtain instantly illuminated the external scene.
A white engineer subconsciously walked to the edge of the porthole and stood with Chu Siyuan. When he saw the endless "sea level" outside quietly ripples, he subconsciously exclaimed in a blank cry of his native language: "that`s...unbelievable!!!"
"An incredible wonder!" Liu Jin was amazed. At this moment, the attention of the crew members on the bridge was attracted by the scene outside, and seemed to have almost forgotten the high weight of their bodies.
"I sent it, I sent it..." Chu Siyuan kept muttering.
This celestial body is a wandering planet. It has no accompanying satellites and no accompanying stars, so there is no tidal force and no strong and frequent geological activities. Therefore, there are no stormy waves in the entire "sea surface", and some are just light ripples and ripples.
The average temperature on the planet's surface is only -225 degrees Celsius. Obviously, it can be ruled out that the ocean is composed of helium or hydrogen, because the liquefaction temperature of these two substances is lower. Only after the Zhong element is below -147 degrees, it will turn from solid crystals to liquid objects. The environment on the planet's surface is consistent with the liquefaction of Zhong element.
The scene in front of you tells every crew member that there is a vast ocean of Zhong Elements below!
"At 11 o'clock, land was found at 122 kilometers, with an altitude of about 15 meters and an area of about 30 million square kilometers. It is ready to land in 16 minutes!"
