Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 391: First-hand information

　　 Even so, there are still many people who believe in the natural existence of silicon-based organisms, because humans cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. Silicon-based life is so popular in various science fiction novels that people are eager to discover them.

　　 Maybe a so-called miracle was born on a certain planet?

　　In the face of this argument, those who have something good even wrote a long article to refute this view.

　　 The ability to connect silicon is quite bad. The silicon number of silane can only reach 8 and is unstable. The composition of the material cannot be too complicated; silane and its derivatives have poor thermal stability and are easy to condense, which is undoubtedly necessary for silicon-based life. The high temperature environment is contradictory;

　　 There is also the silicon-hydrogen bond and the silicon-silicon bond are easily completely destroyed by various protic solvents, which means that common solvents such as water, ammonia and even hydrogen fluoride cannot be used as carriers of silicon-based life, etc. Wait...

　　 Shu Xiao said seriously: “Actually, I don’t believe that there are natural silicon-based organisms. Even if there are, they are likely to be artificial life. On the contrary, boron-based life with boron as the core is more likely! Hey, creation The difficulty of a kind of life is really comparable to that of the Creator, we are still far from this aspect!"

　　 The more human beings know about the universe, the more certain options can be eliminated.

　　 I won’t go into this speculation for the time being. All in all, people have great expectations for the complex life on this planet.

　　 The vigorous grand design is continuing, and anyway, it is about to reach the destination. After a few years, it will be able to replenish resources, and various high-performance materials can be smashed without money. There is a small centrifugal wheel inside Kunlun Mountain that can rotate at a high speed to simulate a high-gravity environment. Facts have proved that no matter how difficult it is, as long as it uses massive resources to smash it, it is easy to produce a breakthrough.

　　 When Zhang Yuan saw this list of needed supplies, he was stunned. He looked at the aggressive scientists in front of him and couldn't help swallowing.

　　"You mean, the current budget is enough to build a Falcon-class destroyer?"

　　 This scientist is not embarrassed either. He is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. The lion opens his mouth and said: "Your Captain, the exploration in a high gravity environment is an area that has not been explored by mankind. So far, the area that has not been explored by mankind has been Not much, the rest are big fish that no one can catch. This is a rare piece of fish that can be gnawed..."

　　 "Anyway, everyone doesn't have any good research direction... Even just a small fish is not bad."

　　 Zhang Yuan nodded slightly. What people are better at now is the industrial system under low gravity. Especially in heavy industry, low gravity is better than high gravity environment by many times.

　　"Do you mean not only making a few robots, but also a whole set of industrial systems that operate in a high-gravity environment?"

　　 "Yes, it is true... Although this system cannot theoretically be comparable to a low-gravity environment, there may be any special enlightenment? It is always good to be able to develop more science."

　　 Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart. The progress of scientific development is too slow. There has been no major progress in decades and a century. As a result, scientists began to pick up the things that were abandoned in the past and plan to do it again. The whole process is actually very painful.

　　 sounds like nothing to do, but just like the abandoned biochip technology, if you don’t practice it, who knows that it has so much potential?

　　 There are many things that can't be imagined by imagination alone. Only through practice can we know the mystery, the breakthrough point of the entire civilization, maybe it lies in these abandoned things?

　　He nodded: "Well, for the time being, I still support it... But this resolution needs to be demonstrated by the scientific conference. Anyway, it is just some resources, and there shouldn't be any big problems."

　　 The scientist was relieved, "We have also applied for two interstellar ramjet engines to be installed on our scientific research spacecraft."

　　Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows, this guy has to make an inch!

　　 He didn’t get angry, he just looked at each other meaningfully. If he could give a qualified reason, it’s not impossible: “That’s a military engine...the yield rate is very low. A qualified product must be used as a military reserve."

　　"It’s like this...With the advancement of technology, the cost of ramjet engines will gradually decrease. It’s better to take this opportunity to test the performance on civilian spacecraft. On this planet, although ordinary nuclear fusion engines It’s enough, but what about planets with higher gravity? Since the ramjet has to be installed in the transport aircraft sooner or later, it’s not as late as early."

　　 "Is that so... it sounds reasonable." Zhang Yuan frowned and began to think. This young scientist is really good at talking.

　　……

　　 That's it. Three years of preparation time passed quickly, and the Kunlun Mountain Fleet was gradually approaching its destination.

　　In accordance with the usual conservative policy, in order to strictly ensure the safety of the mothership, people will choose a peripheral planet similar to Pluto in the solar system as the landing point.

　　 In this way, in case there is a powerful civilization here, the entire fleet can communicate with it calmly, and it can leave without any benefit, without any positive conflicts.

　　 And generally speaking, planets with no atmosphere are more suitable for mineral mining.

　　The Observatory is always the most lively area. After the spacecraft has selected the landing position, scientists are closely observing the specific movements of "Tepstar".

　　The first man-made exploration satellite has also been launched in advance.

　　 Yes, this super-Earth where life may exist, has been officially named-"Tepu Star", instead of just a code name as in the past.

　　 There are three satellites around it~IndoMTL.com~ One of them is 88% of the mass of the moon, and it is about 360,000 kilometers away from Tepu.

　　The other one is smaller, 7.5% of the mass of the moon.

　　 The third one is a large meteorite with a diameter of 20 kilometers. It is not a real satellite. It revolves in a large outer circle, and there should be no risk of collision for a while.

　　Tepu has a much larger mass than the Earth, and it has many satellites, but it’s nothing. Like Jupiter and Saturn in the solar system, there are at least 70 or 80 satellites, and the smaller Mars also has two natural satellites. As long as the mass difference between these satellites and the surrounding planets is relatively large, the so-called "three-body motion" will not form.

　　 After these days of observation, people did not observe the traces of artificial satellites above the atmosphere of "Tap Star".

　　The news also made all scientists breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time they felt a little regretful, unable to tell what the psychology was.

　　"The absence of artificial satellites does not necessarily mean that there is no intelligent civilization, because the gravity and air pressure of this planet are all too large, which makes it extremely difficult to launch satellites. Even we have to rely on interstellar ramjet technology to be able to reluctantly Carry out aerospace activities."

　　 "It's also said... Our exploration satellite should be about to enter orbit!"

　　 "Yes, the first-hand information will be returned soon!"

　　 Everyone was very curious about the first data. Although it was time for get off work, everyone was still waiting quietly in front of the big screen in the astronomical observation room.
