Half-immortal civilization

Chapter 389 Discovery of extraterrestrial life

(Finally changed to a good-looking cover. o(n_n)o haha~)
"Captain, the location here is good." Lin Fengyun was extremely lively, "There are no cracks in the ice here, and there are no traces of being hit by meteorites around here."

"Not bad, it's really a good location!" Su Jiuyang looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.

Compared with the surrounding ice surface, it is not only smooth and uniform, but also has no cracks, and there are no obvious meteorite impact marks. There are also very few rock fragments and dust; even after cleaning the ice surface, you can see yourself The shadow of - this shows that this place is very stable.

"The experimental base is being built here." Li Kai, the captain of the first team, nodded directly.

"Go back and get your tools."

Space exploration is well prepared, otherwise, only one of the 12 spaceship cabins is inhabited, and the rest are all kinds of tools.Of course, some things are not perfect, for example, there are no sleds here.

In fact, due to various reasons, everyone now only has some large and small folding trolleys, not even electric vehicles-this thing is too heavy, and the cost is too high for use in space.

"Damn it! The bastards in the company don't even prepare a battery car, even the simplest one! They are the ancestors of Grandet!" Lin Fengyun complained while pushing the cart.

"Hey! Kid, be content. It's kind of you not to let you lift it with both hands!" Su Jiuyang next to him smiled self-deprecatingly.But it is also true, it is already very good to prepare a few trolleys.In fact, the devices don't weigh much here because of the low gravity; with the spiked plate on the foot, it's easy to push.

"Hurry up, put the machine upright, ready to make holes." Li Kai kept his feet on the ground, paying attention to everything, even the safety of 20 people.

"It's done. It's done. We're going to shoot the rat hole!"

"Haha, we are those little mice. I didn't expect that one day we would have to dig holes to live in. This is a big regression of civilization!"

"You can stay on the ground and no one will object."

In the channel, everyone "speaks" enthusiastically; in fact, everyone is suffocated, and finally have such a vast world to relax, so that there is a lot of screaming in the channel, just a group of toads, no one knows who it is Talking, no one cares.

"Okay, little mice, let's dig a hole. Try to finish it today, and we can enjoy the sleep of the outer planet." Su Jiuyang checked all the equipment and gave the order.

The rumbling sound was transmitted through the ground to the spacesuit, and then to the ears of all astronauts.

The low gravity here brings a lot of convenience to everyone's work, such as the transportation and installation of machinery, etc., which is extremely easy.

But now, it is also because of the low gravity that it has brought a lot of trouble to everyone: a large amount of ice debris cannot settle in an instant, flying all over the sky, and it is light to block the sight.Most importantly, these debris have the potential to find their way into voids in spacesuits.

"Hey, Xiao Linzi. Don't die. Damn it, the ice here is stronger than steel, and the pieces are like knives. You are covered with these pieces now, and quickly remove these things. Otherwise, the spacesuit will be worn out, but Not enough time to get you back on the ship."

"Ah, yes."

When everyone was busy, only Liu Haibo was frowning and recording these situations:

First, within one month, human beings still cannot fully adapt to the world beyond the orbit of Mars. It is estimated that it may take three months; in addition, it is speculated that similar issues may need to be considered if humans want to leave the solar system.

Second, everyone is extraordinarily excited, which is somewhat unusual.The considerations are roughly as follows, long-term depression leads to physiological changes caused by changes in the environment, etc.; detailed observation is required in the later stage.

After closing the diary, Liu Haibo quietly looked at the screen and everyone's busy figures.But in my heart, I was rejoicing, fortunately, all the staff in the master company have practiced, and there is a rotating gravity device when sleeping.However, even so, those actresses have already begun to show signs of physical weakness.According to the accompanying doctor + expert examination, bone loss has occurred, and muscles have begun to relax.Now, for the sake of their own lives, these actresses are exercising in the rotating gravity chamber every day.

On Ceres, all team members have to clean up the ice crystals on their bodies every 10 minutes of work; these fragments are really as sharp as glass.Under the extreme cold, coupled with the severe cold that lasted for billions of years, these ice crystals are actually not much worse than rocks; in other words, this is one of the rocks on this planet.The only advantage is that the melting point of ice is very low after all, and it is easy to drill holes by using thermal drilling.It just consumes a lot of energy.

Ceres only has more than 9 hours a day, because it is too far from the sun, in fact, even in the equatorial region, there are only more than three hours of operation time; the rest is dark.

It took hundreds of people four days to complete an ice cave.Of course, this ice cave has a height of ten meters and a radius of 30 meters, which is enough for everyone to enjoy here.

In fact, in the spacecraft, there must be at least 30 expedition members present at all times, just in case.

However, in today's Ceres base, the temperature has been kept fluctuating between minus three and five degrees, and a good living space is surrounded by thin films. There are even photovoltaic cells on the ground to collect sunlight and save energy.

In addition, a simple laboratory has been established, and a real extraterrestrial research work has officially started.

It is incredible that methane is found on this small planet.And now, at the edge of the base, a machine is hard at work. It's a heat pump, coiling copper tubes to make something like an electric heater that can be used to punch holes in the ice.There's no noise, no splash, and it's extremely simple.

After several days of hard work, the heat pump has dropped to 300 meters. At this thickness, there is still ice all around; but in these ice, simple organic substances, such as amino acids, have begun to be found.

Our great microbiologist Gong Chuanwei, who ranked first in space, was excited: "There is definitely extraterrestrial life here! Look, the closer to the deep layer, the more amino acids; this shows that amino acids come from the inside. Instead of outside. There is only one source of amino acids inside the planet: microorganisms!
I remember visiting the place where nuclear waste is stored thousands of kilometers underground in Huaxia, where the temperature is extreme, dry, and the radiation is strong, but there are still many types of microorganisms surviving.The vitality of microorganisms is extremely tenacious.

We're about to make a world-changing discovery! "

"Ahem, Gongda scientist, we have already gone 1200 meters deep under the ice, and the rope is not enough, you should deal with it." The cool Lin Fengyun was abnormal.However, Gong Chuanwei didn't intend anyone to touch his baby bump, so he was the only one who was busy.

"Wait, there seems to be something on the camera!" Yang Zhencheng, who was in charge of monitoring the heat pump, exclaimed.

"Pull up and have a look!" Everyone was startled.

"Wait, prepare for isolation. We don't know if this thing is harmful." Gong Chuanwei has a strong sense of safety after studying microorganisms all the year round.
