Chapter 190: Europa Experimental Base

(Ask for recommendations, ask for favorites.) )

The next voyage went smoothly, and the mercenaries behind him followed for two days, and when they saw that Mu Chen was about to leave the strange star field, they did not attack, but took the initiative to stop tracking.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, it didn't feel good to be on the back, the Grim Reaper, as an escort warship, had been in a state of imminent battle for the past few days in order to avoid emergencies, and the soldiers were very hard.

"Wolf girl, arrange for the crew to take turns to rest, it's not good to keep tense your nerves like this." Mu Chen commanded the wolf girl.

"Chief of Internal Affairs, the food level has been raised a little in the past few days, and the crew members on leave are allowed to drink a glass of wine every day, so that they can relax."

"Okay Captain, I'll arrange it now." Li Wenjing said.

The voyage from God's Wings to Europa was calm again, it was a remote star field, and there were few merchant ships passing by, and there was no oil or water, and even pirates didn't want to stay here.

After a long flight, the fleet finally reached its destination.

It's a pure white planet. The surface is covered in a thick layer of snow and ice, and there is no trace of life in the white expanse of the eyes, and it is hard to imagine how difficult it was for humans to establish a colony here.

Although the planet Europa has an atmosphere and oxygen, the temperature is too low for living organisms, and no life has been found on this planet until now.

The fleet was docked in a small spaceport outside the atmosphere of Europa, the smallest one Mu Chen had ever seen, with few facilities left except for a dock for mooring and a space elevator to the planet's surface.

After the Grim Reaper came to a standstill, Mu Chen and Wolf Maiden landed on the surface of Europa with 250 Marines in a space elevator, while the others stayed on guard in the spaceport.

"Oh my God, it's too cold in this place, I'm shivering with cold in my winter suit." As soon as Mu Chen got out of the elevator, he couldn't help but complain, the cold-proof suit on his body could hardly resist the severe cold here, and quickly turned on the heating device on the cold-proof suit.

The person in charge of the reception was a middle-aged man, his whole body was tightly wrapped, only one face was exposed, and he said with a smile when he heard Mu Chen's words:

"No way, the temperature here is like this, it's pretty good now, the minimum temperature can reach minus 233 degrees at night, and we residents don't dare to go out at all."

"Haha, I'm smiling at you, it's the first time I've come to this kind of extremely cold planet, and I'm a little uncomfortable." Mu Chen said with some embarrassment, these residents have been here for several years, and they complain about the bad environment of Europa in front of them, what is the matter?

"It's okay, it's okay, we can't stand it ourselves, let alone the people you came to transport supplies." The middle-aged man didn't mind and said very understandingly.

Mu Chen and the middle-aged man introduced each other, only to know that this inconspicuous person named Chris, was actually the supreme commander of the Europa experimental base, and in addition to research, everything here was under his control.

It didn't take long for the two of them to get acquainted, but soon the supplies on the Giant Whale were transported down through the space elevator, Chris hurried over to receive them, and Mu Chen had to bring someone up to help.

The thing I carried this time

The amount of materials was very large, and the food and daily necessities were carried down in boxes, and soon piled up in the warehouse of the experimental base, and it seemed that these materials were enough for the personnel in the base for many years.

This was followed by a large experimental instrument, which was more than 10 meters high, and could only be transported by the robotic arm in the base, placed in a freight elevator, and transported to the laboratory under the ice for installation.

The researchers in the Europa experimental base were obviously a little excited when they saw this big guy, it seemed that they had been waiting for this thing for a long time, Mu Chen escorted the instrument to the underground, and before he could bother to greet the staff here, he saw that they quickly surrounded him, and the marines thought that they had encountered some attack, so they hurriedly raised their weapons and guarded.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, these researchers are like this, seeing this rare experimental instrument is like seeing a peerless beauty, they are just too excited, there is no hostility." Chris hurriedly spoke out to stop the Marines' actions, for fear that some of the overly nervous fighters would misfire.

The researchers here are all baby bumps, and the Earth Federation has wasted a lot of effort to gather them from all over the world to send them here, and each of them is an elite in meteorological research, which is important to this experimental base.

"Put the gun down, there's no danger here." Mu Chen looked around for a moment and spoke.

Through inquiry, Mu Chen learned that this experimental base is mainly used to study meteorological regulation generators, which can artificially control the climate and environment on a planet, which is a great invention.

Mu Chen couldn't understand the specific principle, but he probably figured out what the function of this so-called meteorological regulation generator was.

Put simply, it is possible to change the climatic conditions in an area and artificially create large areas of rain or snowfall, or it can reduce the amount of precipitation in an area and move the rain clouds to other places.

This is very powerful, think about it, if you use this generator in the desert and artificially create rain to drop a lot of rain, it won't be long before you can make the desert area an oasis.

In areas prone to flooding, the use of meteorological regulators to remove rainfall clouds can also effectively reduce the amount of precipitation there, reduce the degree of flooding, and minimize losses.

Mu Chen sincerely admired: "This research is amazing, once it is successful, there will be a lot of habitable space on the earth, and the problem of water shortage in many areas can be solved." ”

"Haha, this is only the most basic function, we have actually done it, not long ago we shipped the generator that can adjust the weather back to Earth, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it can be put into use." Chris said with some smugness, obviously proud of the results of the experimental base.

"The most basic function? Could it be that there are other uses for this thing? Mu Chen asked curiously.

"You guessed it right, in the process of research, our base found that the role of the generator is not as simple as we originally thought." Chris briefly introduced.

As we all know, meteorological changes mainly occur in the troposphere, and the water vapor in the air is formed in the troposphere near the clouds, and then produces rainfall.

But when I researched it, there was something amazing

It is found that when the weather regulation generator is working, it will produce a large number of oxygen molecules in the troposphere, and these oxygen molecules will produce ozone in the upper troposphere after being irradiated by ultraviolet rays, and the amount will accumulate to a certain extent, and it will become the ozone layer.

This discovery shocked everyone, this is an artificial atmosphere, with this technology, it can be said that any planet, as long as its temperature is not too outrageous, the earth's crustal movement is stable, it is possible to become a habitable planet for human beings.

As long as the weather regulator generator is installed on that planet, it will not be long before an atmosphere can be created, the intensity of ultraviolet rays can be adjusted, and oxygen will be produced, and then humans will be able to live on that planet without wearing heavy spacesuits.

In this way, theoretically all planets could become habitable planets, and the speed of human exploration of the solar system would be greatly increased.

With the atmosphere, it is possible to grow crops on a large scale, and with the successful alien farm technology researched by the Xingyu Group, the food and oxygen used for survival can be satisfied.

It can be said that this discovery has the potential to completely change the fate of mankind in the future.

The living space of human beings will no longer be limited to the earth, Mars, Jupiter and a series of planets can become human habitation, then the cost of extraterrestrial immigration will be greatly reduced, and human beings have countless opportunities to choose from.

In this way, the severe population pressure on the earth can be alleviated, and every poor person struggling to survive in the bottom society can choose to go to the extraterrestrial planet to pan for gold, and the establishment of a new human society will also require a large amount of labor.

The hierarchical system of citizens formulated by the Earth Federation will also be broken, the gap between the rich and the poor will be further shortened, the privileges of high-level citizens will be greatly reduced, and low-level citizens will also be able to get more job opportunities and social benefits.

This is also good for the Earth Federation, everyone knows that the hierarchical system is nothing more than exploiting the citizens at the bottom to feed the citizens at the high, and it is a system of drinking water to quench thirst, which will cause a very serious polar contradiction, forming a confrontation between the poor class and the rich class.

If a large number of extraterrestrial habitable planets can be built and the low-level citizens on the earth can be relocated, it will not only provide a large number of employment opportunities, but also effectively alleviate this class contradiction and maintain the stability of the Earth Federation.

The development of a large number of habitable planets can also create countless wealth, thereby increasing the overall strength of the Earth Federation.

It can be said that this weather regulation generator is really beneficial and harmless, and it is a good thing that can really change the future.

"I wonder where your research is now?" Mu Chen asked with some excitement.

Chris couldn't help but laugh proudly, and pointed to the experimental instrument that was being installed: "It's basically successful, the results of several experiments are very satisfying, with this big guy you brought, we can try a large-scale experiment, if it can be successful, then we can return to Earth with the research results, it will be a triumphant return!" ”

After speaking, Chris suddenly fell silent, as if thinking about something, and tears glistened to the corners of his eyes.

After a while, he said with emotion: "It's been 15 years, our group of people have worked hard for 15 years on this extremely cold planet where birds don't, if this research can be successful, then I really die without regrets......"
