Chapter 39: The Planet of Trees, the Tree of Planets

After a period of time in the clouds, the starry snow suddenly lifted from the nose of the aircraft and rose in altitude again. But fortunately, this time the increase was not large, and the speed did not change, and Chu Yuesheng sat quite steadily.

Soon, the aircraft rushed out of the clouds and came above the clouds.

The distance between the green planet and the stars in its galaxy is actually farther than the distance between the Sun and Mars in the solar system, but not much, and the star here is also much larger than the Sun, and the light carries more energy. After one plus and one subtraction, the temperature on the surface of the green planet will be similar to that of Mars.

The average temperature is forty or fifty degrees, and the average temperature is twenty or thirty degrees, which is really not much different. You must know that the surface temperature of those planets in space ranges from minus 200 degrees to minus 300 to minus 300 degrees. As long as there are benefits to be found, even that kind of planetary environment can be established by human beings to establish an ecological circle suitable for human survival, and the green planet, which can be described as a unique ecological environment, is not a problem at all.

Even the atmosphere on the Green Planet moves in a similar way to Mars, and the snow rises in height because of the thunderclouds ahead.

Thunderclouds are generally only formed close to the surface base because they are rich in water vapor. These cumulonimbus clouds collide with each other, constantly releasing electric charges, lightning and thunder, and it looks very spectacular.

Chu Yuesheng had only seen the lightning above his head, and he really hadn't seen the lightning from above. Because of the wider perspective, lightning is no longer a fleeting scene, but has become a frequent norm. But probably because he didn't need to concentrate on catching the traces of lightning, Chu Yuesheng quickly lost his curiosity about these lightning and began to think about how big the area covered by these cumulonimbus clouds was.

However, Xingxi Baixue seemed to have misunderstood Chu Yuesheng's thoughts, and thought that he was interested in the dark clouds below.

"Junior, do you want to go down and have a look?"

"Eh, can you go? "Chu Yuesheng can often see fires caused by lightning strikes when he watches the news, although because of the rapid dispatch of firefighters, the general loss is not large, but the society of Mars is too peaceful, and the news media is idle and long-haired, this kind of not very common thing will be written about by the news media even if it is trivial.

"How could it be. Lightning is also a discharge phenomenon that belongs to the energy that can be directly absorbed. The energy reserve of this individual aircraft has just been activated, and the energy is still sufficient, so there is no need to recharge it yet. Those who were sent to the primordial planet to serve as civilization observers were not convenient to return to the mothership for energy replenishment, and these thunderclouds were the most convenient energy source. ”

As soon as Chu Yuesheng wanted to open his mouth to ask a question, Xingxi Baixue answered his question directly like an unpredictable prophet.

No, she's a prophet of the unknown. She definitely used her ability to "see" the question that Chu Yuesheng raised after that, and then answered it directly.

"If it's a planet without an atmosphere, you can also use geothermal heat, or radiant energy from stars. These are the most direct sources of energy, and the way you humans extract energy is still too backward and wasteful, so you will think that these energies are relatively low-level. But in fact, heating the steam and then using the steam to drive the blades to rotate so that the coil cuts the magnetic field to generate electrical energy, this method is the most backward. Do the math of how many forms of energy are converted in the process. Every time you convert, it means a waste, and you humans use 100 units of resources to produce 1 or 2 units of energy, and the energy utilization rate is even less than 2%. With the same amount of resources, the Star Curtain Saintess can produce dozens of times more resources than humans, plus the observer generally has only one person on a planet, and even if he uses it again, he won't need much, so the planetary observer will not have the trouble of energy depletion at all. ”

"On the contrary, you human beings, the energy you are using now mainly comes from the mass-energy conversion after the nuclear collision, whether it is military or civilian, whether it is a fusion reaction or a fission reaction, its essence is still atomic energy. It is an energy source that is very unstable and not easy to carry and store. Your energy development has been stalled for a long time, hasn't it? You've been in the nitty-gritty of atomic energy for too long, it's a dead-end road, and you're stuck in a dead end. If you want to develop, you have to turn around first. But it is clear that your society does not have a basis for turning around, so it is foreseeable that you will remain stuck at this stage for a long time. As for when you will be able to break through, it depends on when your scientists have the brains to discover antimatter particles while studying nuclear reactions. ”

"On the basis of the nuclear reaction, you humans actually have two paths to take, one is to continue to improve the accuracy of particle observation, break through the boundaries of nuclei, and discover more subtle aether particles, and then you can obtain the higher energy source of aether. But it is clear that you have taken another path, and that is to dig deep into the nuclear reaction and maximize the value of the nuclear reaction. In that case, you will have to be lucky enough to find a way to make antimatter particles in batches with negligible odds. Of course, antimatter is still a nuclear reaction, but it is more advanced than the fusion and fission methods you are using now, and it squeezes more nuclear energy. If you follow the path of the aether particle, you will continue to develop on the path of Void Energy, but if you want to take a direct step from antimatter to Void Energy, you will have to make great sacrifices......"

So, what are you talking about, why can't I understand it later? Chu Yuesheng listened to Xingxi Baixue's eloquent talk, and his mind was full of question marks. The essence of human civilization is to boil water in different ways, which Chu Yuesheng knows and is generally criticized by the public. But what is the aether particle behind it? What is the void energy? There is only one antimatter left that he knows, and human beings seem to have put forward relevant concepts since they were still in their home planet, but no one has found the real thing until today, hundreds of years later, and even now there are still people who are hotly discussing whether there is an independent antimatter that really exists, and no one can give a specific answer.

Therefore, the height of the station is different, and the scenery you see is really different. Xingxi Baixue chatted casually, and Chu Yuesheng felt that he was an idiot who didn't know anything, so he could only sew up his mouth and not say a word.

Xingxi Baixue probably also realized that what she said was still too advanced for Chu Yuesheng, so she ended the discussion of this topic, which was caused by thunderstorm clouds but was seriously off-topic, and concentrated on piloting the flying machine under her.

Finally, they arrived at the destination of their trip, the seat of the planetary will of the green planet.

The area covered by the thunderstorm clouds was very large, and Chu Yuesheng and the others had been flying above the clouds for several minutes, and they still hadn't gotten rid of these thunderstorm clouds. But it was precisely because of this that the destination was so conspicuous, even Chu Yuesheng could see at a glance that the location of that anomaly.

After all, the current thunderstorm clouds had covered the entire sky, and no matter which direction Chu Yuesheng looked, he couldn't see the edge of the dark clouds. And in this large dark cloud, there is a very regular circular loophole very suddenly, which is abnormal no matter how you look at it, right?

"Sister Bai Xue, is that there?"

"Hmm. Oh, it's worthy of a plant planet, and even the will of the planet is a tree, which is interesting. Xingxi Baixue nodded, and accelerated again, flying towards the circular cloud hole in the distance.

Although Wangshan is a dead horse, when the car becomes a flying machine that is hundreds or thousands of times faster than a horse, it seems that it will not take much time from seeing the target to reaching the destination.

In just two minutes, Xingxi Baixue and Chu Yuesheng came to the edge of this circular basin like dark clouds. Xingxi Baixue thoughtfully parked the aircraft above the edge of the "basin", and admired the huge tree in the basin with Chu Yuesheng.

Not only is the surrounding dark clouds like a basin, but the surface environment beneath the clouds is also a basin.

And in the very center of this basin, a huge ancient tree that covers almost the entire basin with the canopy alone stands tall, with a height of more than a kilometer. That giant tree that is a forest of trees alone should be what Xingxi Baixue is looking for, the embodiment of the will of the planet.

Chu Yuesheng had never seen such a huge plant, even if all the plants were very large after coming to this green planet, but the size of this tree was too big. Although human beings have built buildings that are tens of thousands of times taller than this, there is an essential difference between the shock of man-made objects and the magic of nature. No matter how high the space elevator is, it can't see the edge, and from a distance, it is a thin black line that goes straight into the sky, which is not ornamental. But the tree below is different, it is a lush jungle with each tree, it is almost like the legendary World Tree, it is a combination of grandeur and magnificence, and the vista is intoxicating.

Chu Yuesheng is a dirt bun who has never seen the world, but the stars and snow are not. In the past few years that she has been wandering in the universe, she has never seen any spectacular scenery, just a woody plant that grows a little taller, and there is no big deal.

So after stopping over the basin for a while and determining the environment, Xingxi Baixue started the aircraft again and flew directly towards the big tree below.

Of course, because he has already reached his destination, Xingxi Baixue no longer continues to drag race, but slows down, which is comparable to the hovercar running all over the streets on Mars. This speed was what Chu Yuesheng was used to, and he could finally take a good look at the appearance of this huge tree up close.

However, as the distance closed, some blue fireflies suddenly began to multiply. These mysterious objects that looked like small blue balloons flew in mid-air, completely sealing the way forward for Chu Yuesheng and Xingxi Baixue, making it impossible for them to continue to move forward.

It seems that these blue things are the guardians of this giant tree. With them there, it would be difficult for Chu Yuesheng to get close to the giant tree below.

"Sister Bai Xue, they don't seem to welcome us. Chu Yuesheng said a word of nonsense.

"It's okay, it's just that the procedure isn't quite right. Let's just go down. With that, Starry Snow descended to the flying altitude of the aircraft, and did not stop until it was almost on the ground.

Although it changed from flying at a high altitude to floating at a low altitude, the speed of the aircraft sticking to the roots of the trees was not slowed down much, and it continued to approach the giant trees. And this time, those blue fireflies didn't show up.
