Beneath Deep Space

From a subjective point of view, many first-generation old people prefer the blue planet; but from an industrial point of view, Auriga 4 beats Auriga 2 with an overwhelming advantage.

Facing this result, Yu Yifeng felt slightly complicated. But he had to admit that "Aviator 4" was a better choice.

For current science and technology, low gravity and cold environments are more acceptable than complex microbial environments...

"Humans have grown up."

He suddenly had this emotion: Only civilizations that are not attached to their home planet can go further...

Humanity actually chose a cold planet as its main base instead of a living planet. In fact, this was caused by a qualitative change in technology. At the current level, humans can survive on almost any planet. It is just a question of whether it is difficult or easy...

The voting results came out, and sure enough, Auriga 4 was elected with more than 80% of the votes.

After the general main base was selected, people made various revisions to the details.

"Auriga 4" is about 2.3 astronomical units from the star, and its average density is about 3.6 grams per cubic meter. In theory, such a planet can find any resources that humans need.

And with the size of a planet, it is enough for humans to eat...

360 million kilometers away, there is also a gaseous planet with a mass of 1.44 times that of Jupiter, which is "Auriga 5". Because of its huge gravity, it has a small impact on the revolution of Auriga 4.

Astronomers are very interested in this big guy and focus on detecting it.

"Auriga 5" is rotating at a high speed. It can rotate once in about nine hours. Various turbulences and vortices appear on the surface of the planet, forming storm turbulences of various sizes.

Compared with tornadoes on Earth, this kind of turbulence is simply the difference between an ocean and a glass of water.

If you choose "Auriga 4" as the main base, you can observe and utilize "Auriga 5" at the closest distance.

For existing technology, as long as people don't commit suicide, there shouldn't be too much danger.

"Auriga 5 has at least 80 satellites. We can also look for a larger one and establish a sub-base as a nuclear fuel collection base. In this way, we will have almost unlimited energy..." astronomer Professor Thomson suggested.

Because the upper atmosphere of this gaseous planet contains 87% hydrogen, 12% helium, and a small amount of methane, water and other gases.

The element that people value most is of course the "helium" element!

Helium is an inert element that usually exists as a gas. This element is very stable and is chemically inactive even after ionization at high temperatures, so it is widely used in industry.

The application of high-energy plasma is the cornerstone of the current development of electrical engineering and is also an important distinction from low-level industry.

Helium is an important medium in the ion industry. Helium is added with hydrogen and ionized at high temperature, and can be used to smelt metals. The ultra-high purity is incomparable to ordinary smelting methods. Helium ions can also serve as the power generation medium for magnetic fluid generators. Because of their inactive chemical properties, they are harmful to machines. It is not particularly corrosive, which greatly reduces maintenance costs...

But on ordinary planets, mining helium is too troublesome. It has even become a relatively rare element in terrestrial planets because of its small atomic weight.

This is because the gravity of ordinary planets is too small and helium escapes on a large scale, so the reserves are generally not high and can only be extracted in small amounts by mixing with natural gas.

"We can obtain a large amount of helium from this gas giant planet. Helium-3 can be separated and used as nuclear fuel, and helium-4 can be used as ordinary industrial materials. A gas planet has endless resources, and it is relatively far away close!"

"Build a sub-base, no problem!"

Seeing everyone's ambitious discussion, Yu Yifeng was filled with joy.

Auriga is really a geomantic treasure. It is almost the same as the original solar system. It is safe, stable, rich in resources, and there is even a planet similar to the earth for people to explore and play.

"The Sower" really has a good eye.

This time, humans must create more and more spaceships!

"By the way, we also need to provide some cover for the Deep Space to prevent it from being discovered by the possible natives of the 'Auriga 2'. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?"

"Because this star was found for us by the Seeder civilization, we are temporarily adopting a non-interference policy towards possible indigenous civilizations and will first observe carefully... What do you think?" Yu Yifeng suddenly thought of a question.

After everyone thought about it, there weren't many objections.

But how to conceal such a large spacecraft?

"This question... I think we can use a visually invisible material and stick it on the surface of the Deep Space." A materials scientist named Wilf stood up and said.

"On the one hand, we will stop at Auriga 4 and not get too close. There is also Auriga 3 in the middle... The two planets are 1.3 astronomical units apart, which is still a long distance. If we keep Radio silence is not necessarily detectable by lower-level civilizations.

"Second, this visually invisible material can deflect light at a certain angle, reducing the possibility of being discovered..."

While speaking, Wilf debugged a video on the screen.

Several young people were demonstrating with a piece of transparent cloth. They covered their bodies with the transparent cloth, and their entire bodies actually disappeared.

Remove the fabric and the body reappears.

"It's very magical. It can be said to be an invisibility cloak." A scientist nearby smiled and said: "Did these young people make it? It's quite interesting."

Wilf nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, the principle is very simple, it is to deflect the surrounding light, but it can only maintain visual invisibility at certain angles, including visible light, infrared rays, microwaves, etc... It is enough Did you use it?”

After this problem was solved, there were basically not too many details. Finally, Yu Yifeng made the final decision: "Then let's do it. After the maintenance of this spacecraft is completed, we will set off for Yufu 4 immediately. For industrial problems, please excuse me. Get ready first..."

"The meeting is over!"

Time passed, and a month passed quickly, and the speed of the Deep Space was getting lower and lower.

When the spacecraft passed by the huge gaseous planet "Auriga 5", it clearly observed huge red spots, which were very similar to the red spots on Jupiter.

This is the first time that humans have observed this astronomical phenomenon so closely.

The Great Red Spot has a top speed of up to 42,000 kilometers per hour. It is an extremely complex anticyclonic storm. From the perspective of a large astronomical telescope, you can still see the thick lightning jumping inside, drawing a series of fierce and violent power grids.

These super lightnings have a power of up to 100 billion kilowatts. The energy of a lightning bolt is equivalent to a small nuclear bomb!

The largest, the Great Red Spot, is almost 2.4 Earths in diameter. The airflow material contains a large amount of red phosphide, so it is dark brown.

There is a very small particle in the center of the Great Red Spot, which is the core of the Great Red Spot and is about 600 kilometers in size.

Strangely enough, this core remained motionless amid the surrounding counterclockwise vortex motion, creating a magical calm zone.

"It's so calm in the chaos. I really want to run into the core and take a look..." Yu Yifeng looked at the core of the Great Red Spot and said with some sigh.

A nearby scientist shook his head, with a smile on his face: "...This is extremely complex turbulent motion, caused by the rotation of the planet and gravity. Perhaps after our calculations have been developed to the extreme and mathematics has made great progress, we can Accurately simulate the state of the next minute.”

After passing by this gaseous planet, the Deep Space is about to reach its destination... Chariot 4!

There were more and more people on the observatory, and cheers broke out from time to time.

Happy, really happy, people finally reached the next stop on the long march.

Darkness is not the most feared thing in the universe. People have gradually become accustomed to darkness.

This dark planet will be a new beginning, carrying new hope.
