Chapter 340 Observer
In February of the 175th year of the new human calendar, after three years of sailing, the Deep Space was 10 million kilometers away from "Dig 114", and the entire hull had successfully escaped from the curvature bubble.
At this moment, the flying speed is about 60 kilometers per second, and it is expected to officially reach the planet "Dig 114" within two days!
The power of the four main ion engines was only 8%, and the entire spacecraft tried to slow down slowly without emitting a lot of light to reduce the possibility of being observed by the natives.
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, whether there are natives, and after obtaining detailed data, they will make the next plan... just like a truly mysterious alien!
Yu Yifeng himself also prefers this more conservative policy.
Of course, during the three years of sailing, people were not all idle, but built the second "Titan" class spacecraft with great fanfare! Together with the first one built earlier, the two "Titans" were mounted on the Deep Space, one on the left and one on the right, giving people enough sense of security.
The observatory has become the busiest area, always full of people, and many scientists are closely observing the specific movements of "Dig 114".
At this relatively close distance, people have been able to analyze many results...
"It is very similar to the Earth, with a slightly larger mass, about 122% of the Earth, so the entire gravity environment is only slightly larger... Humans can completely accept it!"
"There are two satellites around, the closer one is similar to the moon, with a mass of about 87% of the moon, and 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!
So this 243,000 kilometers is still too close, and the tides caused are also particularly huge.
"We speculate that the ocean of Dig 114 is very violent!"
In addition to this moon-like satellite, there is also a small satellite with a diameter of only 230 kilometers, in an orbit of 970,000 kilometers...
The size and mass of this asteroid are very small, and the gravity can be almost ignored, so the Deep Space quietly approached the satellite and used it as a cover. At the same time, there is no need to worry about the bearing capacity of the material itself.
An astronomer is writing a specific report. He is full of curiosity about this green planet.
Because from the observation results, some places on this planet are very strange!
Not only these natural phenomena, people can also easily observe traces of civilization...
It seems... there are no normal cities! All are ruins!
Yes, a large number of satellites have carefully observed for half a month, and have not found any normal operating cities, nor any similar transportation facilities such as cars and trains, and even no bustling indigenous life groups...
This is simply incredible...
"Could it be that these indigenous peoples have become extinct for some reason? And they are all extinct! Leaving us a ready-made planet?!"
"It's very strange! Maybe it's because of some disaster..."
The scientist was discussing with his colleagues while writing an astronomy report...
The brain chip can send electromagnetic waves directly to the machine, so the speed of writing reports is very fast. Almost anything you think of will appear on the screen, which greatly improves work efficiency.
For so many years, people have become accustomed to this way of working.
The astronomer continued to write: "... The surface of Dig 114 is green, and most of it is ocean, which occupies about 93% of the area and only 7% of the land. Because of the huge ocean, the precipitation is very, very abundant, and the surface of the planet is full of large clouds. Satellites alone cannot fully detect the ground."
Here, he thought for a while: "We don't 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 has reached 32 degrees Celsius! There are a small amount of organic elements in the atmosphere, and I don't know what they are... Waiting for testing."
"Due to the trace methane in the air, a higher greenhouse effect has been triggered, and the glaciers in the polar regions have almost all melted!"
"... There are suspected traces of nuclear bomb attacks on some city ruins..."
...
Soon, this detailed astronomical report was delivered to the captain's room. Yu Yifeng frowned and looked at it for a long time, with mixed feelings.
The good news is... from the specific parameters, although Dig 114 is not particularly ideal, it is still passable and can be considered close to the earth.
Compared with Mars and Nix, it has a large area of liquid water, and the temperature, gravity, air pressure and other parameters are also acceptable.
If many microorganisms are dealt with and those unknown organic components are eliminated, people can even breathe the atmosphere here!
The worry is that he doesn't know whether the Deep Space will be exposed and whether it will bear risks.
The size of this spacecraft is too large, with a length of 40 kilometers!
Although the surface of the spacecraft has been treated with various invisible treatments and it is also kept in a state of radio silence, it is still possible to be exposed.
Because it is still too close to the star, the space is full of various 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 finally came into 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 investigate 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 mission..."
"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. This kind of mission has not been carried out for a long time for them.
The young man 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 capsizing in the gutter.
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 would be 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 always have to play, and 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!"
"I don't know how much more advanced our weapons and equipment are than before. If the mothership's firepower is fully activated, it can level a mountain in a few seconds... Remember, the Deep Space will definitely stand behind everyone!"
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!
