Homo sapiens.

Bai Yulou shook his head: "The company will definitely not send us here casually, otherwise what is the difference between that and sending us to death?"

Simon suddenly thought that not long ago, the Earth Federation Association had to hand over the core work of the lunar project to Serris due to internal problems in America, so he asked curiously:

"What is the current situation of the Moon Base of the Earth Federation?"

"What else can I do? Cold salad!" Bai Yulou spread his hands.

After all, when they came to Venus, it had been several months ago, and it is not clear what happened on the other side of the earth.

Even if the earth exploded at this time, it is estimated that Bai Yulou and others would have no way to know immediately.

Now they were waiting for the goldfish airship to arrive at the Yungong base, while checking various news reports and internal briefings.

Through news reports and internal briefings, Bai Yulou and others quickly sorted out the situation on Earth in the past few months.

Simon saw something about the California consortium, with a trace of disgust and mockery on his face: "It's really disgusting, really worthy of being a Tianlong person."

"It's still the same on the other side of the earth, and those vampires are still unwilling to give up the power in their hands. I really don't know where they got their confidence." Bai Yulou sighed softly.

Before he knew it, the goldfish airship came to the sky above the Yungong base.

Because the goldfish airship has vacuum carbon spheres, the landing is very gentle, and it is not as dangerous as re-entering the atmosphere on the earth.

After about four to ten minutes, the hull of the airship shook slightly.

"arrive……"

The airship was parked on the vast Yungong base platform, and more than a dozen synchronous robots also came up from the base to help fix the cables in the special fixed slots.

Then the cabin at the bottom of the airship is automatically inserted into a depression on the platform.

Through the surveillance camera, Bai Yulou saw the endless white ground around him, obviously this was the upper platform of the Yungong Base.

"Come on, let's go down."

At this time, the astronauts felt very strange, because they did not notice too much gravity anomaly, and the gravity in the atmosphere of Venus was so close to that of the earth.

This down-to-earth feeling gave Bai Yulou a sense of peace of mind, which was a physiological instinct.

After all, as a creature that has lived on the earth for a long time, human genes and instincts are shaped by the earth's environment.

In the microgravity of outer space, or in the one-sixth gravity environment of the moon, humans will feel extremely uneasy.

Bai Yulou and the others got off the elevator inside the traffic cabin.

Came to the interior of the Yungong base.

The entire Yungong base is currently divided into five areas, namely the industrial area, mining area, residential area, aerospace port, and agricultural area.

The place where they landed is naturally the space port of Yungong.

Due to the very high density of the atmosphere of Venus, the effective load-bearing capacity of Yungong is very high, so the various facilities inside are very complete, and now Baiyulou and a group can move in with their bags.

But Bai Yulou did not forget the mission of coming to Venus this time.

Chapter 591 The Venusian

In the Yungong base, there are already hundreds of synchronous robots working at this time.

They were still very concerned and concerned about the arrival of Bai Yulou and others.

Soon Baiyulou and his group were arranged in the dormitory of the residential area. In fact, the residential area of ​​Yungong base was just a decoration before, and there were no living people in it.

After arranging the accommodation, Wu Tengfei, the head of the rotating base, hurriedly took them to the hospital in the residential area for a comprehensive physical examination.

This is also the main purpose of Bai Yulou and others coming to Venus, as for other things are secondary.

After a complete set of physical examinations, Bai Yulou and the others showed no major health problems.

Wu Tengfei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said through the synchronous robot: "Captain Bai, Vice Captain Simon, you can move freely in the future, but if you want to go out, you need a special application."

"no problem."

"We can do some scientific work."

After arranging the affairs of the astronauts, Wu Tengfei returned to his job.

However, Bai Yulou and Simon agreed to divide the 20 astronauts into two groups, and one group was free to move around and work one day, with round trips.

They had no idea of ​​working on the first day, mainly because they had just arrived on Venus, and they needed to further adapt to the environment, so there was no need to be too tired now.

During the adaptation period of the first half month, they planned to take a good look around the Yungong base.

After all, this is a behemoth with an area of ​​more than 3000 square kilometers and a thickness of about 750 meters.

A group of astronauts inspected the entire residential area in groups of three or five. The area of ​​this residential area is very large, about 15 square kilometers, with a height of 100 meters, wrapped in a buoyant layer composed of vacuum carbon spheres.

When you come out of the hospital, there is a street at the entrance. There are several electric cars parked on both sides of the street, but these electric cars are all fixed in special parking spaces.

Bai Yulou is well aware of this. After all, the Yungong base is easily disturbed by strong winds in the early stage, causing continuous vibration and shaking. Therefore, many things in the base must be fixed, otherwise it is easy to bump around.

However, as the scale of the Yungong base became larger and larger, this kind of wind disturbance phenomenon has become smaller and smaller.

Using the employee card, Bai Yulou drove an electric car away.

Although there are no people on both sides of the street, he believes that in the near future, this place will become a new home for new humans.

Venus is the only planet in the solar system that may become a new earth. It is unlikely that other planets in the solar system will be transformed into planets suitable for human habitation in a short period of time.

After all, the difference in gravity is too large, which is a fatal problem.

For example, Musk, who has been clamoring to colonize Mars, his grand plan is just a plan, and there is no possibility of realizing it in a short time.

The difference in gravity between Mars and Earth is enough to cause irreversible genetic mutations and body shape changes to humans who immigrated to Mars, as well as unpredictable new diseases.

The Homo sapiens company has placed hundreds of anthropomorphic human bodies in the Utopia station in the Utopia Plain of Mars. Based on the conditions of these anthropomorphic human bodies, it is preliminarily determined that Mars is not suitable as a new home for human beings.

Even the new human beings after a comprehensive transformation cannot live on Mars for a long time, unless they are willing to become "Martians".

At present, in the Yungong base of Venus, the internal gravity is about 0.8 different from that of the earth, which is less than one-tenth of the difference, which is barely acceptable.

Even if you live on Venus for a long time, you can complete adaptation in a short time after returning to Earth.

However, if you live on Mars for a long time, it will be difficult to adapt to the gravity of the earth in a short period of time after returning to the earth, and your internal organs may even be squeezed so that you cannot breathe and your bones may break.

This is very similar to diving. Ordinary people without professional training can only dive to a depth of less than 10 meters. If they dive to 50 meters at once, they may die immediately.

Bai Yulou and others, as participants in the Warrior project, are actually guinea pigs, but the company did not force them. The astronauts who participated in the experiment this time all signed up and participated on their own initiative.

After excluding those applicants who are only children, those who are too young and those who are too old, a total of 2000 astronauts have been recruited for the Warrior Project, and Bai Yulou and others are only the first batch.

If half a year later, this batch of astronauts has no major problems, then the next batch of astronauts participating in the experiment will reach 100.

Bai Yulou and Simon drove the car and were familiar with the entire residential area. This may be the place where they will live for a long time in the future, so they naturally need to get acquainted with it.

The facilities in the residential area are dormitory buildings, hospitals, nursing homes, kindergartens, schools, restaurants and various service industries.

However, the two are most concerned about emergency shelters and escape spacecraft. This is a system that must be investigated and familiarized with at the first time when staying in every alien base.

Although Homo sapiens has deployed 372 artificial satellites in the low-earth orbit and synchronous orbit of Venus, it can monitor most of the dangers from outer space, but some dangers are difficult to avoid.

For example, a sudden eruption of gamma ray bursts or solar storms. Even if these dangers are detected, they may not be able to stop them, and they can only resign themselves to their fate.

The disadvantage of Venus is that it is too close to the sun, and it does not have a strong magnetic field to resist the charged particles of the solar storm. Therefore, the surface of the Yungong base is easily disturbed by the solar wind.

In order to avoid being disturbed by the solar wind, the Yungong base adopted a very special plan, that is, to always face the sun.

This is due to the extremely long rotation of Venus. One day on Venus is equivalent to 243 Earth days. In addition, the tilt angle of Venus’s earth axis is very large, and the air at high altitudes is relatively thin, so the Yungong base can float for a long time without the sun’s rays. to the shadow area.

In this way, the Yungong base does not need to worry too much about solar storms in the early stage.

Anyway, without the sun, the Yungong base can also obtain huge geothermal energy and solar energy, plus its own nuclear battery, energy is not a problem.

Bai Yulou and Simon parked the car in the parking space, and after pressing the parking button, the parking space automatically stretched out the clips and buckled the four wheel hubs.

"This is the refuge, let's go! Go in and have a look."

The two swiped their cards and walked into the shelter.

This is a cylindrical building, which is actually transformed from a spaceship. In the event of an emergency, it can be untied at any time, and the spaceship will be driven to leave the Yungong base.

As for such spaceships, there is one at each of the four corners of the residential area.

Bai Yulou and Simon took a look at the facilities inside and found that a spaceship can accommodate 500 people to escape.

"Too little." Simon patted the life support cabin in front of him.

Bai Yulou shook his head: "Don't worry, the company will arrange it. After all, there are only 20 of us in the residential area now, and we will definitely add more in the future as the population increases."

Simon is still a little worried: "Food is also a problem. In case the escape spacecraft gets lost and we have no way to rescue it in time, the food stored in the spacecraft can only last for 3 months."

"You can't have both. There is a contradiction between the number of passengers and the maintenance of food in the escape spaceship." Bai Yulou could do nothing about it.

The only solution is to expand the size of the escape spaceship to prolong the food retention time inside the escape spaceship.

Chapter 592 Breeding Mode

Ten days later, Bai Yulou, Simon and his party had adapted to the gravity of Venus.

At the same time, they found out the basic situation of residential areas, agricultural areas, industrial areas, mining areas and storage areas.

With their arrival, a large number of scientific research cabins that had been attached to the agricultural area before were also re-divided to form a separate scientific research area.

Bai Yulou and others, who were officially working, came to a laboratory with a very high level of protection—the Venus Biological Laboratory.

This "Venus biological laboratory" studies the local creatures of Venus.

In the cultivation room in the laboratory, Bai Yulou saw the first Venusian organism - nitrogen algae.

Nitrogenous algae are only the size of a fingertip, translucent colloid, and have a large number of nitrogen air pockets in the body, which can float in the sky with the help of nitrogen buoyancy.

The reason why it is named nitrogen algae is that there are chlorophyll organisms similar to algae in these organisms. They absorb carbon dioxide and some free water molecules and use photosynthesis to synthesize organic matter.

In the atmospheric ecosystem of Venus, a total of 37 species of nitrogen algae have been found, and they live in the atmosphere 30-50 kilometers from the surface.

In addition to nitrogen algae, there are also air jellyfish that feed on nitrogen algae, and more than a dozen microorganisms that live in air jellyfish.

This is the ecosystem of Venus' atmosphere, a very tenacious and very fragile ecosystem.

If it weren't for the arrival of Homo sapiens, they might not be discovered by humans until decades later.

In fact, Homo sapiens has long been familiar with the existence of life on other planets.

The moon has an underground biosphere, Mars also has an underground biosphere, and Venus has an atmospheric biosphere. These are all very normal things.

We cannot deny other planets with the standard of the earth's ecological circle, because life has infinite possibilities.

The earth and the earth's creatures are actually the result of a two-way rush.

It is not the environment of the earth that creates the living things. During the whole process, the living things are constantly affecting and adjusting the earth.

For example, cyanobacteria billions of years ago, their family absorbed carbon dioxide and released oxygen, which directly killed most of the anaerobic bacteria, and caused the earth to undergo a major oxidation event. Iron oxide and copper oxide on the earth today Such minerals are the result of the Great Oxidation Event.

The gradual increase in the proportion of oxygen in the atmosphere also caused the earth to begin to cool down, and there was an obvious alternation of cold and heat.

If the earth did not give birth to cyanobacteria in time, then Venus may be a lesson for the earth.

Of course, Venus's carbon dioxide concentration has exploded, but it doesn't mean that creatures cannot be born. For example, there is a layer of interlayer that is more suitable for creatures in the high altitude of the atmosphere.

Nitrogenous algae, air jellyfish and the like were born in this environment.

In this biological cultivation room on Venus, you can see nitrogen algae floating in the wind. They have been studied by many researchers. Synchronous robots are so convenient that people don’t need to come to Venus in person, and research can be carried out remotely.

Bai Yulou opened the biological tablet, inserted it into the database of the laboratory, and then he found many related research reports.

Some study nitrogen algae organelles, some study reproduction, and some study special compounds.

Among them, the research on how nitrogen algae resist radiation is the most popular among all research directions, because the magnetic field of Venus is so weak that it cannot block the solar wind at all.

The habitat of nitrogen algae is located in the altitude zone of 30-50 kilometers in the atmosphere, although the concentration of the atmosphere in this region is several times that of the earth's surface.

But there is no way to block ultraviolet rays and other high-energy rays. After all, there is no ozone layer in the atmosphere of Venus.

Therefore, in the face of such strong ultraviolet rays, high-energy rays, and high-energy particles, many researchers are very curious about how nitrogen algae survive in this environment.

Bai Yulou was also very curious. He carefully flipped through the relevant research reports.

It turns out that the appearance and composition of nitrogen algae are very strange, and the inner core is also very strange.

The colloidal layer on its surface is composed of dense sulfur compounds, which are made of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus, which can effectively block harmful cosmic rays and high-energy particles, and only allow a part of the available sunlight to enter the core.

Similarly, the inner core of nitrogen algae is wrapped in nitrogen, and the inner core is divided into photosynthetic inner core and the most important reproductive inner core.

"Huh? This thing actually has a strong ability to repair genes?" Bai Yulou read a very interesting research report.
