Jian Xiangming paused and continued: "Moreover, we have also observed the existence of the atmosphere and magnetic fields on this planet. ”

Jian Xiangming's voice fell, and everyone was immediately shocked.

The existence of the ocean is a prerequisite for the survival of life on Earth.

Not to mention the atmosphere and magnetic field above.

The presence of a magnetic field can effectively block the Hawking radiation produced by Kagantuya, thus protecting the life on the planet from radiation.

Not to mention the atmosphere, which is almost as important as water.

Little Brand said: "Director Jane, can you analyze the composition of Planet One's atmosphere now?" ”

Jian Xiangming shook his head and said, "We can only determine that the atmosphere contains oxygen and nitrogen through spectral analysis, and as for the specific content, we need to wait for our detector to arrive before we can get the answer." ”

At this time, Pang Xuelin said loudly: "Let's skip Planet One." ”

"Why?"

Including Jian Xiangming, everyone's eyes turned to Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said, "Planet No. 1 is three billion kilometers away from Kagantuya, have you considered the impact of space-time distortion caused by the gravitational pull of the black hole on this planet?" Even if there is a sea on it, how much do you think the presence of Kagantuya and the tidal forces will cause huge waves on this planet? ”

Pang Xuelin's words fell, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Until now, all human research on black holes has been in the realm of theory.

Kagantuya was the first and only black hole they had ever seen.

And it's this kind of river-level black hole, and no one is sure to what extent this kind of black hole will distort space-time.

Pang Xuelin said: "Unless our other planets are explored one by one, Planet One, I suggest going to the last moment, when there is really no hope." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Pang Xuelin said: "Director Jian, go on." ”

Jian Xiangming nodded and said: "Planet 2, which also orbits around Kagantuya, is five billion kilometers away from Kagantuya, and one hundred and twenty billion kilometers away from the location of our spacecraft, spectral analysis shows that there is also water and atmosphere on this planet, and the average temperature of the planet is about 10 degrees Celsius, but the radius of this planet is 2.1 times that of the Earth, the mass is fifteen times that of the Earth, and the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the planet is estimated to be about 1.8g, which can be used as one of our future alternative footholds." ”

"Go on."

"Planet Three, located at a distance of 8 billion kilometers from Kagantuya, is similar in diameter to Earth, with moisture and an atmosphere, but with low temperatures, with a global average temperature expected to be around minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature at the equator is estimated to be close to freezing......"

"Planet Four, orbiting the Red Giant Star (referred to as the Red Star), is 50 million kilometers away from the Red Star, the volume is 1.8 times that of the Earth, the mass is unknown, there is moisture in the spectral analysis, the only problem is that the Red Giant is more than 20 billion kilometers away from where we are, and it will take us at least ten years to fly to reach it."

"Planet 5, which also orbits the Red Star, is 60 million kilometers away from the Red Star, similar in size to Mars, and has an atmosphere and moisture for spectral detection, but the distance is unknown to the environment......"

"Planet Six, this planet is supposed to be a moon, orbiting a Jupiter-like planet on the periphery of the red giant......"

"Planet Seven, spectroscopically equipped with water and atmosphere, half the diameter of the Earth, located on the edge of the habitable zone of the Red Star......"

"Planet 8, orbiting the Yellow Dwarf Star (Yellow Star), is 80 million kilometers away from Yellow Star, more than 30 billion kilometers from where we are now, and is expected to fly for at least 20 years to reach ......"

"Planet 9, orbiting the Yellow Star, is 120 million kilometers away from the Yellow Star, and its surface has an atmosphere and water according to spectroscopic analysis, and the overall size is 1.05 times that of the Earth, which is the most similar to the Earth......"

"Planet 10, orbiting the Yellow Star, 150 million kilometers away, has an atmosphere and water ......"

……

Jian Xiangming introduced the ten worlds screened by the observatory to everyone in the conference room one by one.

Pang Xuelin said: "That's probably the case, do you have any opinions and ideas?" ”

At this time, Anthony was the first to speak: "Captain, whether it is a red giant star or a yellow dwarf, they are 20 billion and 30 billion kilometers away from us, respectively, and the flight time is too long, I suggest that the second and third planets near Kagantuya be explored first......"

Pang Xuelin nodded, and said undeniably: "Do other people have any opinions?" ”

Aemond spoke up: "Captain, the nine worlds given by Captain Jane will take more than twenty years to reach far, and two or three years to reach close, and no one knows what kind of danger will exist in the process of exploration. Although the Space City program has been launched on Earth, the search for a new planet of life is no longer so imminent. But we still can't waste time, and no one is sure if Space City will be able to isolate the weird blight virus. So I suggest that the Eternal Night form nine expeditions, each expedition team consists of one or two people, they drive the shuttle to explore the nine worlds respectively, if they find a habitable planet, then send back a signal to the Eternal Night, if they can't find it, if the fuel is enough, return through the shuttle, the fuel or resources are not enough, then set up camp on the spot according to the situation of each planet, enter hibernation and wait for rescue. Each shuttle has two hibernation chambers, which can ensure that two astronauts can hibernate in it for more than 30 years. ”

Anthony frowned and said, "Mr. Aemond, the shuttle has limited fuel, and according to the speed of the shuttle, if it reaches the farthest Yellow Star, it is estimated that it will be at least fifty years later." ”

Aemond laughed and said: "This is not difficult, we can accelerate through the Eternal Night, for example, to Planet 2, we can let the Eternal Night accelerate towards Planet 2 for a period of time, after giving the shuttle a certain muzzle velocity, the shuttle only needs to taxi autonomously, and after reaching the target planet, it consumes fuel to slow down, cut into the orbit of the planet, and we can also use the friction of the planet's atmosphere to slow down the shuttle." Moreover, our shuttles are equipped with anti-gravity systems, so that when leaving these planets, there is no need to overcome gravity and consume a lot of fuel, which creates conditions for the shuttles to return home. Planets 3 and 4 can all take a similar approach. It's just that in this case, the requirements for orbit calculation are relatively high, after all, once the orbit calculation is wrong, with the materials and endurance that the shuttle can carry, there is really only a dead end. ”

"As for the rest of the planets, they can take a similar approach."

Pang Xuelin raised his eyes and looked at everyone: "What do you think?" ”

"I agree with Aemond."

Little Brand and Aemond are lovers and naturally choose to stand together.

Immediately afterwards, Anthony, Murphy, Mann and others glanced at each other and agreed one after another.

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Okay, then let's follow Aemond's method next." However, in this case, the question of who to explore these nine worlds will be more troublesome. To be honest, the only people in the spacecraft who have received full astronaut training are these ten people in our conference room, and the rest of the spacecraft have only received short-term training, and it is really difficult for them to fly the shuttle to land on a terrestrial planet. Therefore, in this exploration operation, we must take it personally, and bring at most one or two assistants. ”

At this time, Brand said: "Captain, you stay on the Eternal Night, and we have nine people left, each of whom is in charge of a world. ”

Pang Xuelin shook his head and said, "No, I can't stay." ”

"Why?"

Little Brand was surprised.

Pang Xuelin said: "Because Dr. Mann must stay, the life circulation system in the Eternal Night spaceship needs to be accurately regulated, this system is designed by Dr. Mann, if something goes wrong with the life circulation system, they and all of us in the Eternal Night spaceship will probably have to be buried for this, so Dr. Mann must not leave!" ”

"Captain!"

Mann stood up, a little emotional, and said, "The stability of the life circulation system is good, even if I leave, the other people in the spaceship can ensure the good operation of the life circulation system with the help of the computer......"

Pang Xuelin said: "Dr. Mann, the life circulation system of the spaceship is too important, I don't feel at ease when it is in the hands of others, in addition, I need an old and serious person to sit on the Eternal Night, this candidate is none other than you!" ”

"But ......"

Mann is still to be decided.

Pang Xuelin's face turned straight and said, "This is an order!" ”

"Yes!"

Mann sat down helplessly.

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly, although the life circulation system is important, the reason why he left Mann is of course not the main reason.

In the movie, Mann is greedy for life and afraid of death, which is what he needs to guard against.

According to the information given by the movie, of the nine worlds screened by Jian Xiangming, only one world is really suitable for human survival, and the remaining eight worlds are all dangerous.

He didn't want this comrade-in-arms, who had been training together for three years, to turn against him and become an enemy in the end.

Therefore, it is better to keep Mann in the first place.

Moreover, Murphy will definitely be sent to one of the worlds, and Pang Xuelin is not at ease just by letting Murphy pass.

If he also went, he would choose a world close to Murphy to explore, and in case one of them was in danger, he could also rescue each other.

Pang Xuelin said: "Okay, let's move on to the fourth topic, the issue of world choice. On this issue, I have decided to be arbitrary, and the world that each of you wants to go to, I will directly designate! ”

"Planet Two, Carrick!"

"Here!"

"Planet Three, Anthony!"

"Here!"

"Planet Four, Cassie!"

"Here!"

"Planet Five, Murphy!"

"Here!"

"Planet Six, myself!"

Pang Xuelin's voice fell, and everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Murphy glanced at Pang Xuelin in surprise, opened his mouth, and did not speak.

Planet 5 is 60 million kilometers away from the red giant, and Planet 6 is actually a moon of the third Jupiter-like planet of the red giant, but it is more than 10 million kilometers away from Planet 5.

The two are very close, and once one side appears first, the other side can come to the rescue.

"Planet Seven, Benjamin."

"Here!"

"Planet Eight, Frank."

"Here!"

"Planet Nine, Aemond!"

"Here!"

"Planet Ten, Little Brand!"

"Here!"

Little Brand and Aemond glanced at each other, and both cast grateful glances at Pang Xuelin.

Planets 9 and 10 are both members of the yellow dwarf terrestrial planets, and they are close to each other.

Pang Xuelin obviously didn't want the couple to be too far away.

Pang Xuelin said: "From now on, 60% of the supercomputing in the Eternal Night will be put into the shuttle orbit calculation task, once the orbit verification is completed, the Eternal Night will immediately enter the accelerated capital adjustment stage, and after the speed reaches the standard, the shuttle will be launched." ”

"Understood!"

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, let's all disperse."

Everyone got up and left, Pang Xuelin flipped through the documents again, and just as he was about to get up, he saw a slender figure in front of him.

"Brother-in-law!"

Murphy stood in front of Pang Xuelin, biting his lip lightly, and looking at Pang Xuelin with a vein.

"What's wrong?"

Pang Xuelin couldn't stand Murphy's gaze, picked up the water glass on the table, and took a sip gently.

Murphy smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, thank you." ”

She naturally saw that the reason why Pang Xuelin chose to go to the nearest planet for an expedition was to prevent her from being in danger.

Pang Xuelin glared at her and said, "Okay, hurry up and prepare, our stable days won't be long." ”

"Uh-huh."

After Murphy left, Pang Xuelin shook his head and sighed.

Since his departure, his relationship with Murphy has been deliberately estranged a lot.

Both of them have a knot, and they always feel that the relationship is too close, so they are sorry for Chrissy and little Murphy who stayed on Earth.

But after today's incident, Pang Xuelin faintly felt that Murphy might turn back into the sticky little sister-in-law of the past.

Just Chrissy and Little Murphy......

Pang Xuelin's eyes turned to the corner of his desk, where a selfie of a family of three was placed.

In the photo, Chrissy snuggled in her arms, and the two hugged little Murphy together, a sweet and warm family of three.

……

For the rest of the day, everyone in the Eternal Night spaceship was busy.

Three months after the meeting, the shuttle carrying Carrick took off from the Eternal Night spacecraft to Planet Two.

Then, after another three months of attitude adjustment and acceleration, the shuttle with Anthony took off and headed for Planet Three.

Next, the spacecraft spent a full year and a half accelerating and attitude adjustments, and then set off with Cassie's shuttle.

After another half a year, it was finally Murphy's turn to set off.

That night, Pang Xuelin had just laid down in his bedroom, and there was a knock on the door.

Pang Xuelin opened the door and saw Murphy appear in front of him in a pajamas.
