Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 215: Gliese Civilization
Just as people are celebrating their New Year and arguing about population policy, a series of subtle changes have already taken place on the life planet next door.
There are three human artificial satellites floating on this planet, constantly monitoring the surface conditions. The reason why there are only three satellites is because humans did not carry more artificial satellites when they set off from the earth. For such a long time, these three artificial satellites have not experienced any abnormality on the surface, so that people have gradually relaxed their vigilance.
Gliese 581g, an ordinary terrestrial planet. Because of its greater mass than the earth, it has a denser atmosphere, with nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and a small amount of hydrogen sulfide, methane and other greenhouse gases as the main components.
Even if the light intensity of the central star is not high, under the effect of the greenhouse effect, the average temperature on its surface can still reach about minus 20 degrees Celsius.
The temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius is quite comfortable for life. Even the north and south poles of the earth have life tenaciously existing, not to mention alien creatures that have fully adapted to the environment.
Of course, the average temperature data does not explain much, because the temperature difference in various regions of the planet is very huge
Unbelievably huge
Because of being locked by the stellar tide, Gliese 581g will always have only one face facing the star, and the light-receiving surface will be extremely hot under long-term illumination, and even the most central seawater is almost boiling.
But the other side is the eternal night, it is extremely cold, the temperature of more than one hundred degrees below zero, causing all the water to condense into thick ice, forming a permanent ice sheet several kilometers thick.
This dual-sky scene of ice and fire forms an astronomical wonder that people talk about.
The landscape of this planet is more than that. According to the laws of thermodynamics, heat will transfer spontaneously from a high temperature zone to a low temperature zone. The huge temperature difference between the ice and fire sky causes the air convection phenomenon of the entire planet to be extremely violent.
The heat and the water vapor from the seawater transfer spontaneously from the warm side to the cold side, which creates a huge gust of wind.
Water vapor will condense when it condenses to form rain. Due to the large amount of ice on the shady surface and the higher terrain, most of the rainwater will return to the ocean. In this way, the water cycle of the entire planet is formed.
Global large-scale air convection makes typhoons of 15th and 6th magnitude commonplace. Sometimes these violent hurricanes can reach 18th or even 20th magnitude
In order to adapt to this windy environment, almost all animals on this planet have a good ability to dig holes with one hand. If you don’t hide in a cave when there is a strong wind, you will lose your chance of survival.
In addition, the oxygen content of this planet is very low, and the energy produced by anaerobic respiration is not much. Most animals are very short, crawling on the ground, a bit similar to reptiles on earth.
Such a life form crawls out of the ground to search for food only when needed.
In short, the twilight line is still the best living area on the planet. Here, the temperature is suitable, the precipitation is abundant, and there is a certain amount of light. As long as you can avoid the huge typhoon, life can live well here
Of course, the chaotic hurricane has also caused a huge obstacle to the entire scientific expedition of mankind. With the current productivity of human beings, if the scientific expedition team members are directly put down, it is estimated that there will be no return.
Send some unmanned aerial vehicles or survey vehicles to conduct on-site inspections. Within a few days, they will be blown away by the hurricane, and then smashed heavily on the ground and scrapped.
For poor human beings, every scientific instrument is precious. In the current situation where there is no way to mass-produce it, if one is damaged, one will be lost. So, up to now, humans still don’t know the specific conditions of the surface, and can only use satellites to watch and monitor from a distance in the sky
After all, life means opportunity and crisis.
On this day, the wind is sunny, there is no cloud, and the weather is rare. The eternal sun hangs to the west and will never set.
A living body like a guinea pig burrowed out of the ground. It watched vigilantly, sniffing from the east and from the west, making a foraging movement sensitively.
Those yellow and purple dwarf plants with short leaves and extremely developed root systems are called "Aruba" by the Gliese people. In ancient times, it used to be a kind of food with little taste, but also a raw material for clothes
The guinea pig approached an "Aruba" and then looked up at the sky.
It is not an ordinary creature, but a mechanical mouse
The powerful electronic eye began to observe satellites as far away as 330,000 kilometers.
There is the Earth Age, a huge spacecraft, and a lot of machinery is moving back and forth on the surface of the planet
The mechanical mouse recorded all the data.
Yes, this galaxy does have intelligent life.
Even, and the technological strength far exceeds human estimates.
But I am also very lucky. Just like the ultimate prediction of the new civilization history, the vast majority of civilizations in the universe are mediocre. Gliese civilization is also in the midst of an unprecedented and irreversible recession
"Sir, this is the astronomical data we captured, please check it out"
A Gliese man who is only one meter in length is crawling on the ground respectfully. This is their unique and respectful etiquette culture.
Because of the structure of the body, these intelligent creatures do not need a stool or a bed. I habitually squat on the ground when I am resting~IndoMTL.com~ I curl up my whole body when sleeping.
According to human aesthetics, they look a bit like pangolins, with scales growing on their yellow skin, and their two front paws are flexible and powerful, and they look like a species that is good at digging holes.
Of course, as far as the current level of technology is concerned, they no longer need to dig holes with their claws. In order to better perform complex tasks, they usually trim off their nails.
The officer was anxiously flipping through the astronomical report, one after another, the huge spacecraft, and the various transportation equipment that appeared on the surface. Not very clear, but it's enough.
Everything, everything shows that this foreign civilization is not a scientific research, but it needs to take root here
Several other Gliese people are gathering in this small room underground to discuss "According to our analysis, it is likely that the civilization that sent a signal more than 3000 years ago is from the solar system and is far away from us. The location is more than 20 light years away."
"They have been transmitting signals but we have not responded."
"It seems to be called a human"
