Finally, the countdown ended, and the ion flames behind the spacecraft spurted out, flying straight out along the circular orbit at a relatively "low" speed.
The atmosphere of the Nix star is too dense, and the spacecraft cannot operate at full power, as fast as in space. Currently, it can only fly at the minimum speed standard of 300 meters/second.
If it is too fast, it will generate a lot of air resistance and the hull may burn like a meteor. This situation needs to be avoided.
According to the flight trajectories calculated in advance by the computer, these three spacecrafts entered the atmosphere at a relatively small angle. Because of the relatively low speed, a large amount of friction was not generated.
Just the flash of blue from the ion engine accurately announced the positions of the three spacecraft.
All 60,000 people inside Noah saw the operating status of the spacecraft through the outer space surveillance system: so far everything is normal!
People's heartstrings were tense, for fear of a bad start, and some people were still praying silently with their hands crossed...
Nothing unexpected happened next.
After all, mankind has been preparing for so long, and such a landing is just the first step. If there is another accident, those experts might as well find a piece of tofu and kill it!
The automatic detection program of the spacecraft kept popping up various numbers, showing that all steps were normal. It was completely dark outside the window, and only a few white lights on the ground could be seen flashing, which were the signal instructions set by the robot on the ground in advance.
lamp!
Satellites in the sky are also constantly giving coordinate instructions...
After about half an hour, the spacecraft's reverse jet system was activated, and the ship's body, which had been landing rapidly, began to become smoother, a bit like an airplane landing, with the scaffolding falling and slowly diving towards the ground.
A few minutes later, a generous and powerful male voice sounded from the command center of the Noah: "Reporting to the captain! The first landing team on the planet Nix has successfully landed! Please give instructions!"
Following this report, everyone cheered enthusiastically!
Successful login is just a small thing, but it is also the beginning of the entire login operation!
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but everyone is excited for this little thing.
"Perform the assigned task!" Yu Yifeng's heart moved slightly, but he still said calmly.
At this moment, standing in the landing spacecraft and looking out, everyone's first feeling is "black"!
This kind of darkness can be said to be endless, as if it is thick to the point of substance, and it is quite difficult for humans who are accustomed to light to adapt.
It was such a bleak environment. Without the bright lights inside the spacecraft and the two stars hanging in the sky, they would even feel like they were blind.
But the light of the spacecraft itself is not enough to dispel the thick darkness. As long as it is slightly outside, it will be difficult to see...
However, according to scientists, it is "daytime" in this area at this time! The two bright little stars hanging in the sky are the main stars of the "187J3X1" star system!
Because the distance is so far away, one of the stars looks as big as a quail egg, even smaller than the moon; and the other one looks like an ordinary small star.
You know...that star that looks like the size of a quail egg has 1,500 times the luminous power of the sun!
However, distance determines everything. Even such powerful light is not enough to illuminate the star Nix. The star Nix is too far away from the star. It is like a lone star, and it is still an eternal night...
However, no one said much. They had already made such mental preparations. They walked out of the spacecraft and each went about their own business.
The A-003 base spacecraft automatically deploys. There are a large number of experimental instruments, living areas, dining areas, etc. on it. It is also the place where humans will live in the future.
Relevant robots have also begun to be released to automatically collect rock specimens.
Some adaptive infrared light monitoring systems have also been set up and connected to the central main control system to vigilantly monitor the surrounding areas.
In just a quarter of an hour, a small base has been completed.
Through the night vision goggles in the power armor, people can clearly see the entire surface of the Knicks planet.
The overall feeling...is a bit like the Siberian wasteland!
The surface temperature is minus 120 degrees Celsius, and there is nothing except hard ice and rocks. There is no sign of large-scale life, not even a bit of moss... desolate and desolate...
Several scientists were on the recently completed small experimental platform, using a robotic arm to collect a small amount of air for sealing and testing. Everyone had expressions of excitement and anxiety on their faces.
"...It has been analyzed that there are a small number of bacterial microorganisms in the atmosphere! However, in an environment of more than one hundred degrees below zero, they almost stop breeding."
"After we give them a suitable temperature, they can reproduce quickly. This reproduction temperature is relatively high, above 20 degrees Celsius..."
"...According to the test, it should be a carbonyl-type organism with DNA as its genetic material!"
"Oh? Their proteins are very strange. They seem to be able to directly absorb heat and even convert thermal energy into chemical energy... Isn't it incredible?!" A surface scientist shouted anxiously.
Yu Yifeng was in the command center at this time, and the people in front of him were almost all scientists and a small number of high-level military officials. The sound of the communicator was directly transmitted to the venue, and everyone was stunned.
Everyone knows that there is extraterrestrial life on this planet. We originally thought that almost all of them are concentrated in high-temperature areas such as volcanoes. Unexpectedly... we can find them so easily?!
This shows that... the distribution of life on Nix is much wider than imagined!
The hearts of many biologists were beating violently, with a hint of fear and a hint of excitement in their hearts!
Different types of life have great reference significance for biology. The small Martian virus has brought a lot of inspiration. What about these unknown alien life?
In particular... these creatures seem to have made unexpected discoveries in the use of heat energy, and these scientists are immediately itching.
But having said that, unknown alien microorganisms are also a challenge, and the responsibilities and pressure of biological experts like them have immediately increased!
"Specific prevention and control of microorganisms must be given top priority! Our first task is to find the corresponding specific drugs!" A team leader-level scientist said seriously.
Because there are so many of these things, densely packed everywhere in the sky and below, no matter how good the preventive measures are, it is still possible to get caught.
On the Noah, many people gathered together to discuss in low voices and pointed at the photos passed over. At the same time, they were already a little itchy. The excited shouts of the pioneers below were simply too much for them.
A kind of torture!
Now is not the past. People have fully enclosed power armor with stronger isolation capabilities, quantum computers with higher calculation capacity, immune systems like super dogs, and more efficient scientific research instruments. It is entirely possible for humans to achieve this in the short term.
Conquer these microorganisms quickly!
Of course, there is the final backing... the broad-spectrum immunity potion! This crazy potion can instantly stimulate most of the body's immune cells, whether they are useful or not, all of them are stimulated, so that people can gain stronger immunity!
According to clinical tests, minor colds and the like can be cured within ten minutes!
Of course, it is not a good thing to have too strong immunity. The side effects of the medicine are very serious, and symptoms such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lupus erythematosus, and dermatomyositis will appear, making people miserable.
However, once the effect of the medicine disappears, these sequelae will also disappear, and the human body will be weak for about a month...
Regardless of the sequelae, it is always a good thing to survive.
Because of so many back-up preparations, the potential danger of alien viruses has been reduced to a minimum. Relatively speaking, the temptation to study its mysteries seems to be greater. Many people's hearts are beating violently, and they can't wait to go and study it immediately!
