Chapter 425: A New Home (Part II)
At a suitable angle, the first time to cross the orbit of the satellite, cut into the orbit of the gas giant, use the gravitational slingshot to slow down, wait until the speed drops, change the trajectory, use the gravitational slingshot to continuously stretch the orbit to approach the satellite, the mass of the satellite is very small, even if the initial close is very close, the inertia of the initial itself will ensure that it will not be captured by the gravitational pull of the satellite.
When it is closest to the satellite, Chu throws a piece of meat on his own batel to the satellite, and through the power brought by the throwing and the momentum and position relationship of the first self, the meat block can easily get rid of the gravitational shackles of the gas giant and run to the target satellite.
The speed of the meat is very high, after all, it carries the initial momentum, and although the initial velocity is falling again and again, its speed is still above the first cosmic velocity of all the planets in this star system.
Burst!
It's a complete hard landing with no bit of cushioning behavior.
It's like the scene of a watermelon falling from a high altitude, the flesh pieces are torn apart after hitting the satellite ground, and the blood, water, and flesh pieces are smashed and splashed everywhere, mixed with these splattered flesh and blood are also splattered with titanium skeleton creatures with a diameter of only one to three centimeters.
Small size has the advantage of small size, that is, high strength, this impact will not hurt these spherical titanium bone creatures, strength and scale are linked, the smaller the scale, the higher the intensity, coupled with the internal non-Newtonian fluid biomass action, the vitality of these tiny titanium bone creatures is shaped extremely tenacious, simple physical impact can not kill them.
If it were a manned spacecraft, it would have been torn apart, but these small organisms don't need to worry too much about this because they are small enough.
The small creatures fall to the ground like raindrops, and the low gravity environment throws them farther away, perhaps even around the satellite, and the structure of the sphere causes them to continue rolling for a period of time due to the terrain after landing until they fall to the place where they are fixed.
After landing, the collectors immediately changed their genetic information, recovering the gene expression of the cytoplasm and adding methane, a substance with a condensation limit of -182.5 degrees Celsius.
This substance is necessary, and the surface temperature of the satellite is very low, conservatively estimated to be at least minus 160 degrees Celsius.
Waiting for itself to adjust, multicellular organisms, only three percent the size of fleas, carefully crawled out of the cavities of the spherical titanium creatures and crawled outside to mine the material.
The addition of methane prevents their cytoplasm from freezing, and cold dormant proteins ensure the viability of cell membranes.
The multicellular organisms follow the instructions of the first time, drag the material macromolecules back to the spherical titanium bone organisms, hand them over to the other party to analyze the material information, and then conduct radio communication with each other, deduce the material composition of the main body of the planet, and give the initial feedback information.
Waiting for the first time to orbit the gas giant, as you approach the moon, you will receive information from the spherical titanium skeleton creatures.
"The planet's main resource distribution is solid ice and liquid methane, the atmosphere is so thin that it is equivalent to non-existent, there is no atmospheric pressure, and other resources are still being explored."
When receiving this information, Chu decided to take root on this satellite, for the simple reason that it is rich in resources.
Methane is CH4, which can be used as fuel, and can also be dismantled to obtain carbon, and the main body of biotechnology of the collectors is very dependent on carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, plus the low gravity environment, this satellite is very important as the early development of the planet.
Changing the angle of the light sail, using the gravitational slingshot, at first fell at an oblique angle to the low-gravity planet, gliding all the way for a long distance, and the tail light sail also broke during this violent landing, but these are inconsequential little things, ordinary life forms may lament the damage to a part of their body, but the gatherers don't need to, they have enough ability to allow themselves to mess around like this.
The living structure that is enough to withstand a megaton nuclear explosion is basically unharmed except for the damage to the light sail.
The genes that were changed long before landing began to work at this time, and the first cocoon began to form on this extremely cold planet, the sarcoma continued to expand and contract, and the methane element absorbed from the outside made Chu not be frozen into an ice sculpture on this planet of 100 degrees below zero, and still be able to maintain life activity.
It didn't take long for the sarcoma to expand as it absorbed more matter, slowly completing the evolution of its new body, becoming a hive, extending its rhizome to the welcoming side of the moon, from where it received subtle stellar illumination.
Due to the tidal force of the gas giant, the satellite does not rotate, only orbits, so the photographic side can continue to irradiate the light of the star for a long time, and use these photons from the star for photochemical processing, through the way of gaining and losing electrons to disassemble the water molecules to obtain hydrogen and oxygen.
A certain amount of nutrients is then consumed, and some gatherers continue to reproduce at first, which are transformed into rhizomes to carve out underground cavities, and are prepared to be air-tight to inject oxygen and methane as combustion chambers to provide heat to the population.
Combustion will cause the internal gas to expand, and the rise of heat will blow up the entire combustion chamber, which was also thought of at the beginning, so a hole is specially opened on the other side of the combustion chamber, and the combustion chamber is connected, and the connected channel is opened and closed with a spring valve of mechanical structure, and the temperature of the expanding gas gushing out of the combustion chamber will be very high, and the dead thing is more convenient to use than the living thing.
Because the environment of the satellite itself, the atmospheric pressure is close to zero, so after opening up the cavity, there is no need to extract gas laboriously at the beginning, the cavity is originally a very low air pressure environment, and after everything is prepared, the combustion chamber is immediately ignited to create temperature.
When the first wisps of hot carbon dioxide gas spew out of the spring valve into the low-pressure cavity, the design is a success.
Energy is the cornerstone of the development of the race, without energy, there is no way to talk about development, now the methane combustion chamber has been established, which means that the race has gained a firm foothold on this planet, all that remains to do is to further expand their advantages, so that the group in this star system becomes more large, completely occupy this star system!
Thinking of this, Chu unconsciously raised his gaze and looked at the direction of the star, it never forgot the task given to it by the clan, not only to expand the sphere of influence of the clan, but also because of the Seren people, the stars on the other side of the starting star could not be used, so it had to cross the distance of five light years to come here.
Thinking of the information I received about the ethnic group plan during this long journey, I couldn't help but put away my relaxed mind at first.
"We still need to hurry up and bring more resources to the race, and the race needs antimatter."
