In February 175 of the New Human Era, after three years of sailing, the Deep Space was 10 million kilometers away from the "Digo 114", and the entire hull had successfully emerged from the curvature foam.
The flight speed is about 60 kilometers per second at this moment, and it is expected to officially arrive at the "Dige 114" planet within two days!
The power of the four main ion engines was only turned on 8%, and the entire spacecraft tried to slow down slowly without emitting a large amount of light to reduce the possibility of being observed by the indigenous people.
After a long period of wrangling and discussion, the new government finally decided to be a quiet "observer"!
People plan to quietly observe this planet first: whether there is life and whether there are indigenous people. After obtaining detailed data, they will then make the next step of planning... just like a truly mysterious alien!
Yu Yifeng himself also prefers this more conservative policy.
Of course, people have not been idle during the past three years of sailing, but have built the second "Titan" class spacecraft with great fanfare! In addition to the first one built previously, the two "Titans" are on the left and right.
One is mounted on the Deep Space, giving people a sufficient sense of security.
The observatory has become the most lively area, always full of people, and many scientists are closely observing the specific movements of "Dige 114".
At this relatively short distance, people can already analyze many results...
"It is very similar to the Earth. The mass of the planet is slightly larger, about 122% of the Earth, so the entire gravity environment is only slightly larger... Human beings can completely accept it!"
"There are two satellites nearby. The closer one is similar to the moon. Its mass is about 87% of the moon. It is 243,000 kilometers away from the center of the earth..."
Many scientists are discussing at the observatory.
You know, the moon is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth!
Therefore, this distance of 243,000 kilometers is still too close, and the tides caused are also extremely huge.
"We speculate that the ocean in Dige 114 has huge waves and is very violent!"
In addition to this moon-like satellite, there is also a small satellite with a diameter of only 230 kilometers and an orbit of 970,000 kilometers...
The size and mass of this asteroid are very small, and its gravity is almost negligible, so Deep Space quietly approaches the satellite as a cover. At the same time, there is no need to worry about the load-bearing problem of its own materials.
An astronomer is writing a specific report, and he is full of curiosity about this green planet.
Because judging from the observation results, some places on this planet are very weird!
Not only these natural phenomena, people can also easily observe traces of civilization...
It seems... there is no normal city! They are all in ruins!
Yes, a large number of satellites have been carefully observed for half a month, but no normally functioning cities, no cars, trains or other similar transportation facilities, or even bustling indigenous life groups were found...
This is simply incredible...
"Did these indigenous people become extinct for some reason? And they were all extinct! Leaving us with a ready-made planet?!"
"It's strange! Maybe it's because of some disaster..."
The scientist was discussing with his colleagues while writing an astronomy report...
The brain chip can directly send electromagnetic waves to the machine, so the speed of writing reports is very fast. Almost anything that comes to mind will appear on the screen, which also greatly improves work efficiency.
Over the years, people have become accustomed to this way of working.
The astronomer continued to write: "...Dige 114's surface is all green, and most of it is ocean. It occupies about 93% of the area and only 7% of the land. Because of the huge ocean, the precipitation is very, very heavy.
The surface of the planet is filled with large clouds, and satellites alone cannot completely detect the ground."
After writing this, he thought for a while: "We don't yet understand why the planet is green instead of blue. It may be because of the different mineral composition of the ocean... We need to obtain first-hand information before verifying it."
"...The surface atmospheric pressure is about 1.1 times that of the earth, the oxygen content is as high as 19.9%, and the global average temperature reaches 32 degrees Celsius! There are a small amount of organic elements in the atmosphere, I don't know what they are... waiting for testing."
"Due to the high greenhouse effect caused by trace amounts of methane in the air, almost all the glaciers in the polar regions have melted!"
"...There are suspected traces of nuclear bomb attacks on the ruins of some cities..."
…
Soon, this detailed astronomy report was delivered to the captain's office. Yu Yifeng frowned and read it for a long time, with mixed feelings.
The good news is that... judging from the specific parameters, although DIG 114 is not particularly ideal, it is still so-so and can barely be considered close to the earth.
Compared to Mars and Nix, it has a very large area of liquid water, and its temperature, gravity, air pressure and other parameters are pretty good.
If many microorganisms are treated and unknown organic components are eliminated, people can even breathe the atmosphere here!
What worries him is that he doesn't know whether Deep Space will be exposed and whether it will bear risks.
This spaceship is too big, with a length of forty kilometers!
Although various invisible treatments have been applied to the surface of the spacecraft, and it is also kept in a state of radio silence, there is still the possibility of exposure.
Because it is still too close to the star, the space is filled with all kinds of visible light and electromagnetic radiation. In this bright state, it is difficult for such a large spacecraft to be completely invisible.
Well, although there are ruins everywhere and it looks lifeless, after discussion, everyone decided not to let the Deep Space get too close to the planet for the time being to avoid encountering some unpredictable and unknown dangers.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. It's always good to be careful...
Therefore, the large number of frigates that people worked so hard to build are finally put to use!
"It's time, Captain!" While he was deep in thought, an assistant suddenly reminded him.
Yu Yifeng nodded and walked out of the office.
As time goes by, the satellite does not discover anything special, and the large number of ruins on this planet are tempting humans...
Well, the garbage of low-level civilization is still quite attractive somehow, this is nature...
People are the first to use drones or robots to detect this planet at close range!
In the square outside, 1,600 soldiers and 1,400 scientific researchers are neatly lined up. They will be the first batch of detection teams.
Yu Yifeng stood on the stage and looked at them. Most of them were very young, the third or fourth generation born on the Noah, and only a few were the first generation.
Now, no matter how good his memory is, it is impossible to memorize all the names of nearly 800,000 people...
He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Everyone, you are about to conduct your first planet exploration..."
"Target - Planet Dige 114! Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
Zhao Yao, Shen Jie and other older-generation soldiers standing at the front were all shouting loudly, looking nervous and a little excited. It had been a long time since they had performed such a mission.
The young people behind stood up straight. This was the first time for these young men to do such work, and they were extremely excited, but their good discipline prevented them from making any noise.
Yu Yifeng looked at the neat team and felt slightly satisfied...
But having said that, he still had some worries in his heart.
The time that humans have entered "interstellar civilization" is still too short, and the mentality of the older generation has not changed much. Subconsciously, everyone thinks that the universe is very unsafe... So even if they come into contact with a low-level civilization, everyone is afraid of falling into the gutter. The boat capsized.
This kind of vigilance is a good thing.
But the new generation of people does not have such a sense of vigilance.
They were born in a privileged and wealthy environment, received elite education, and have very high personal qualities. These young people love civilization very much and are very good as scientific researchers.
However, the new generation of soldiers have never experienced war or even witnessed death, and they always feel... very immature.
There are many things that cannot be cultivated through education alone, and this is what worries him the most.
Don't worry, don't worry. New recruits will always come on stage. It's impossible to let the older generation do everything.
And Xu Yunjin will also be on the field, so there should be no big problem...
"Everyone, I won't say any more. Even if we are discovered by a low-level civilization, it's not a big deal. We are a powerful party after all, and there is no need to belittle ourselves!"
"Our weapons and equipment are much more advanced than before. If the mothership fires at full power, it can flatten a mountain in a few seconds... Remember, the Deep Space will definitely stand behind you!"
At the end of his sentence, he waved his hand: "Let's go!"
In this way, a thousand team members walked into five "Leviathans" that were more than 300 meters long and about 150 meters wide.
The other two thousand team members entered a mountain-like "Titan Z" spacecraft. This is also the most powerful war fortress developed by mankind in recent years, except for the Deep Space!
