"Let's go!"

Push open the hatch and officially step into this unknown orange world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Each of the eight brothers in the solar system has its own special features.

In addition to having an extremely crazy planetary environment, Venus also has two characteristics.

It rotates from east to west like Uranus, completely opposite to the other planets.

This means that the sunrise and sunset on Venus are rising in the west and setting in the east!

Unfortunately, the two of them, just like they were on Mercury, still didn't have the opportunity to enjoy this alien phenomenon in its entirety.

It's been too long.

One rotation of Venus is equivalent to 243 Earth days...

And interestingly, it orbits around the orbit and is also close to this number, 225 Earth days!

That is to say, the real life is like a year.

"Wow, what a big volcano!" Li Jiani looked up at the behemoth that had been hanging and bumped into before, and exclaimed: "Husband, is this an active volcano?" ”

Behind the Blue Shield, a treacherous mountain range rises that reaches into the clouds.

Its surface is reddish and darkened, and the rugged and steep volcanic rocks surround it, like a load-bearing pillar that supports heaven and earth!

Lotus pondered for a moment when she heard this, and shook her head, "It's hard to say." ”

How many volcanoes are there in Venus? Large and small, hundreds of thousands, millions.

Whether the volcano on Venus is an active volcano or a dead mountain has long been debated.

The heavy molecules in Venus's atmosphere are obviously formed by volcanic eruptions, but volcanic eruptions also mean that Venus's inner core is active, so Venus must have a magnetic field similar to that of the Earth.

Even if it doesn't meet the standards of the earth, it won't fall to the current insignificant level.

Of course, seeing is believing, and the moment the Blue Shield penetrated the clouds of Venus, everything had an answer.

Although most of Venus's volcanoes have gone out, there are still some temperamental eruptions, and the hot heat has converged into some red magma basins.

This situation only shows that the geology of Venus is still somewhat different from that of Earth.

Also, after billions of years, how can it not have its own uniqueness?

"Let's go, let's go shopping." After Lotus finished speaking, she hesitated, then turned around and turned on the Blue Shield's autonomous defense system. The things in Mercury's inner core, although not very powerful, opened the door to a new world for them.

Extraterrestrial life may not be as rare as it seems.

“....”

This Nima!

Before the lotus carried Li Jiani, who was babbling, flew out far, the couple was dumbfounded and came to the brakes.

It's hairy! Didn't you observe Venus with a radio telescope? That's how you guys observe??

"Whew..."

The wind rose, and a huge shadow obscured the orange sunlight above the two.

Looking up, the crazy earth men and women couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"What... What the hell is this?? Li Jiani asked in a stammering trembling voice. It's not that she's scared, after all, Mercury's bosses have been beaten, but this thing is too weird now, right?

"Ahh As soon as the lotus stared, it climbed nearly a thousand meters in an instant. He looked at the huge figures below like geese, and wondered: "This... This is a creature on Venus, right? ”

"Creature?" Li Jiani couldn't wait to ask, "What are they?" Is it a bird? What to eat? I don't have a face! ”

"This—" the lotus squeaked and muttered, "Observe and observe, follow them first." ”

Well, he really didn't know how to describe what he saw.

It's like a manta ray that's more than 300 meters long, commonly known as manta rays on Earth.

But although the appearance of the manta ray is strange, it also has a long face, and there is nothing in this thing!

And compared to its massive body, its thickness is simply unbearable to look at, as if it has been flattened.

But that's still not the most peculiar thing about it!

On top of the flat and massive body, it is covered with a flexible surface like a diamond, and it is covered all over the body.

Of course, this is not a diamond.

Strictly more like milky crystals?

"Husband, look, they're flying up!" Li Jiani shook his shoulders and asked anxiously, "What are they doing?" What the hell is this? ”

Lotus is also in a hurry, he has some guesses, but he can't confirm if this thing is not used.

"They're going to run into the clouds, husband... Huh? Wow, catch, catch! ”

The orange-yellow sky, the silver streamer dragged a crystal giant in a flash.

....

On the gray-yellow rocky plains,

"Click, click..."

The lotus put the white blade aside, squatted down and excitedly ripped off the appearance, carefully observed the section, and said in a thoughtful voice: "This. It should be a crystalline state of silica. ”

"Wow!" Li Jiani squatted beside him and took a look, and said in surprise: "No wonder they are not afraid of sulfuric acid, husband, then they are silicon-based life?" ”

What is Silica? Glass, ceramics, metallurgy, chemical industry.. All of them need to use this ingredient.

Silica has a wide range of uses, and it is also acid resistant, and it is quite normal that the crystals do not react chemically with concentrated sulfuric acid.

But...

Since it is silicon oxide, how exactly does oxidation occur? You must know that Venus does not have a trace of oxygen, and under this strong pressure, all light molecules are squeezed out of the atmosphere.

Not to mention how does this creature sustain the movement of life?

What about the existence of silicon-based life?

Lotus pursed her lips, got up and drew her white blade, ready to resume his old business.

Lattice cells, corrosive lipid compounds, with liquid hydrogen fluoride flowing in their bodies...

moment

Lotus stopped studying, got up and took Li Jiani out of this messy venue, and said with a smile: "This is a creature nourished by the volcano, it's amazing." They survive by absorbing planktonic particles from Venus's atmosphere. ”

"It must be a passive way of survival in the process of evolution, they are essentially silicon-based organisms, absorbing hydrogen fluoride and a small amount of sulfur dioxide from volcanic eruptions."

"This process.. Let's put it this way. Sulfur dioxide produces silicates within their silicon matrix. Hydrogen fluoride, a binary compound, and silicates form silicon tetroxide, which gives rise to silica crystals. ”

"However, unlike silicon-based life as calculated by traditional science, neither hydrogen fluoride nor silicon tetroxide is the source of energy for this life."

"Ahh Li Jiani looked up at the orange sky in a daze, and muttered, "What delicious are they eating, they grow so big." ”

....

Thank you for the monthly pass, I'm so tired and I don't think I'll get any results, so it's a little late. Excuse me.
