Chapter 190 (I don't want to name it)
More than a thousand years ago, a certain Serene looked up at the sky, in the days when the sky was round, and he wondered why the starry sky disappeared at dawn, and he went to find the answer to this question. ▲≥ Eight ▲ ≥ Eight ▲ ≥ Read ▲ ≥ Book, .√.≧o
The priest answered his question, the night is a cover, there are holes in the cover, and when the night covers the earth, the sun can only shine through the holes in the night to illuminate the earth.
But this answer does not explain the movement of the stars, and the man is not a hard worker, and he has not taken the initiative to find the answer to the question.
But fortunately, his son is such a person, thanks to his father who is full of questions but is too lazy to find answers, and can only babble with his own children.
At that time, glass was already widespread, and the first astronomical telescope of the Serens appeared.
For the first time, the true colors of various stars were discovered, and the strange sight in space shocked all the Serens at that time, and they got the first glimpse of the true face hidden under the veil.
Blasphemers – The Church at that time gave these astronomical observers such a title and judged them.
A Selene, relying on an astronomical telescope, opened a history of war and chaos, and also opened the eyes of his own people.
The era of the church has passed, a new era has come, conservatism and constraints have been swept away, innovation and opportunity have given birth to capital, the era of great powers has arrived, various technologies under the suppression of dogma have been developed, and new technological products have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The giant ship made of steel, riding the wind and waves, did what those sailing wooden ships could not do, completed the first circumnavigation of the world, and proved that the land they were on was also like those planets in the starry sky. [∞ eight [∞ eight∞ read [∞ book,.".o@
It was from that time that the question arose among the people of Seren: is there a 'world' like them among the many spheres in the sky?
For the first time, the Serens had the concept of 'aliens'.
With the development of electricity and magnetism, radar, radio communications, computers and other technical products came out one after another, and they began to monitor various cosmic radios.
It turned out that nothing could be received, only the cacophony left by the universe.
The Serens were skeptical, they doubted that the 'aliens' really existed, while the other part of the Serens believed that the alien technology had not yet been developed to the point where radio could be used.
In the era of great powers, the Serens did not have space technology, because at that time, there were frequent conflicts between countries, and the heads of state focused on all kinds of weapons, and they had no intention of doing this kind of deep space exploration that was basically throwing money at the beginning, until the imperial era.
Age of Empires, unprecedented cohesion, rockets, satellites, manned spaceflight, space stations, orbital cities...... Step by step, the Serens challenge the planet's bondage and break through it again and again.
After a long time, the technology finally accumulated enough, and Selene created a probe capable of deep space travel, followed a carefully calculated route, saved every bit of fuel, and used a gravitational slingshot to land on the planet closest to Selene across the long distances between planets.
Looking up at the starry sky, the Serens relied on the power of the machine to finally see the place they wanted to visit.
What catches your eye is an endless barrenness, not to mention aliens, not even a single plant.
This is undoubtedly a heavy punch in the face of those Selenes who believe in the existence of aliens, a joke in the public opinion of the Empire.
Until......
"Director, you said you want to modify the track parameters?"
The director of the remote control of the detector was a little suspicious that he had misheard, otherwise why would he hear his director ask him to do such a thing?
"If I say modify, I will modify, what so much nonsense!"
The director on the other end of the communicator reprimanded impatiently, and hung up the contact without having the leisure to explain the reason for the change to the director.
The director could only deduce the reason according to his own experience, and then he figured it out - the faction that believes in the existence of extraterrestrial life is weakening, and there is only one planet left in the galaxy that has not yet been explored, but according to the data obtained by the previous planets, the planet that the probe will explore is an ice giant that is not suitable for life.
Perhaps the director was worried that after the end of this doomed failed exploration, their Imperial Space Institute would be disbanded by the Führer, so he artificially created a space accident......
During the shift change, the director seized the time, found a reason to break away from the operators in the operation room, quickly modified the route of the detector, and proceeded according to the direction instructed by the director.
In order to avoid accountability, the director prepared a damage report, falsely claiming that it had encountered a small meteorite, that the probe had been knocked out of its intended orbit, and that it had lost control.
After that, less than a year later, the director was stunned by a data report from his subordinates.
There was an extra planet in front of the probe, a planet covered in ice and snow.
The questioning director realized after reading the data about this planet that it was not an ice giant, but another strange planet that was not marked on their galaxy map......
Then, they found the 'cavities' on the white landmarks of the planet, and white smoke rose from these 'cavities', showing the difference in temperature between these cavities and the outside world.
Originally, he was disappointed to see that it was another frozen planet, and according to his experience, this 'cavity' terrain was obviously a sign of the presence of a heat source under the ice.
The director was curious, the probe was going to be abandoned anyway, so it was better to use the residual heat to see if the structure of the planet was as he thought.
After several calibrations, the probe plummeted straight to the planet's surface, and then the parachute opened, slowing the descent.
Because of the false report, the director did not dare to order the opening of the reverse propulsion, and the probe plunged into the water under the huge waves.
If the speed is too fast, then the liquid is not different from the solid, and the parachute will obviously not be able to slow down enough, and the surface of the water will be similar to the solid relative to the detector.
Nearly half of the detector's size is in tatters, and thanks to its original design for harsh environments, today's detectors at least retain the ability to observe and deliver information.
After that, the Serens discovered what they had been looking for - extraterrestrial life.
The gatherers who are still in the form of 'Hu' toiled to feed the betrayers who copied them and abandoned their 'loyalty'.
A busy little society. 11
