Chapter 450: Creatures of Gas Planets
Soon, the expeditionary force's reconnaissance fleet had already arrived in outer space on the planet where the primary planetary civilization was located. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the dark energy civilization said, there is indeed a rudimentary planetary civilization within this star system, and it is an extremely peculiar life form. Contrary to the guesses of Deputy Commander of Science, Lola, this rudimentary civilization lives on a gaseous planet in the second position of the star system.
Because the gas planet is in the middle of the three stars, the environment is relatively friendly. But the gas planet is still too far from the star, even farther than Saturn and the Sun.
The gaseous planet is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with a core of rock and ice and several layers of metallic hydrogen (a conductor of electricity in liquid or solid form at high pressures of millions of atmospheres) on the periphery. Since electrical conductivity is a property of metals, it is called metallic hydrogen) and gas encapsulated. The average temperature of the outermost atmospheric clouds of the entire planet is -180~-140 °C.
After preliminary observation, the various creatures living on the gaseous planet are still in a very primitive stage, and the one with the highest IQ is only equivalent to the level of ancient humans.
Because of this, the expeditionary force's scientific fleet can freely observe and study this magical world and various creatures in the outer space of the planet without fear of being discovered by them.
The number of gaseous planets is very large in the Milky Way, and the expeditionary force has observed at least thousands of gaseous planets in different environments along the way, but this is the first time that humans have discovered life on gaseous planets.
In fact, lower temperatures are not the root cause of the low likelihood of gaseous planetary life. The root cause is that most of the gaseous planets are convectively active and far from active enough.
However, anything is possible, and a miracle of life is staged on the gaseous planet in front of us......
Although the planet's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium, it still contains small amounts of methane, water, and other thin heavy elements. Moreover, it is very warm to go deep into the interior of the gaseous planet, which is like the deep-sea environment, which creates the possibility of the birth of life.
So, what exactly does life look like on this gaseous planet?
On the surface of the planet, there are countless life forms of various sizes, resembling hot air balloons, or jellyfish, which are leisurely floating in the gaseous clouds.
"Leader, these are just creatures in the gas layer on the surface of the planet, and I don't know if there are other kinds of creatures in the liquid sphere inside the planet."
On the command ship, Lola talked with Yuan Chenchen with great interest.
"This gaseous planet is a celestial body that is still in the development stage, her atmosphere is gaseous, and the liquid rock inside is not solidified, it will definitely take a lot of effort to achieve landing, or go deep into the interior of the planet!" Yuan Haochen smiled and continued, "If you forcibly land, the environmental impact on the planet will be too great, and we still don't want to break the peaceful life of these leisurely creatures." ”
"Okay, these creatures are really interesting and cute."
Laura is a female scientist with a little more tenderness and innocence in her personality, and in her eyes, these strange creatures slowly floating in the clouds are really cute.
When there is no wind, these creatures, like hot air balloons and jellyfish, float quietly in the atmosphere, and if the storm blows, they shrink in size, reduce the area hit by the storm, and then drift around with the storm. Although they were eventually blown away by the storm, they didn't seem to be scared and enjoyed themselves.
"Where to float is counted, this is the real peace with the situation!"
"These creatures seem to be able to use lightning from the clouds as energy!!"
Through observation, the scientific team of the expeditionary force was surprised to find that every time there was thunder and lightning, a large number of life forms would gather towards the lightning and thunder.
Their body structure is peculiar, the center of the "balloon" is hollow, and a fixed mass of gas is stored. When they want to move upwards, they inflate their bodies and float naturally as their overall density decreases. Conversely, if they want to sink deeper into the atmosphere, they shrink their bodies and increase their density.
"Do they consume hydrogen in their bodies?"
"Hydrogen is consumed in a form of combustion in a slow chemical reaction."
"If the guess is correct, their body should be made up of a simple structure of lipid-like substance."
......
Scientists expressed their opinions with great interest.
At this time, Yuan Haochen had already realized the intentions of the person in charge of the Dark Energy Civilization Phalange Bone Observatory, and the reason why he specially reminded the expeditionary fleet not to endanger this primary planetary civilization was because the birth of life on this gaseous planet was too precious, and it was simply a rare and endangered "wild animal".
In other words, human civilization, or other rational advanced civilization (relatively), should feel pity and can't bear to disturb and destroy their peaceful life.
Perhaps, in this universe, there will be some extreme, violent, and malicious advanced civilizations against weak civilizations. Whether it's murder by nature, or other reasons such as the threat of the growth of those who come after you. There is a good chance that they will pose a threat to these weak primary cosmic civilizations.
Just like the poachers in human society who killed wild animals for bloody gains, just like the Earth Age. With their strength, they can easily slaughter all kinds of weak civilizations, and if so, this is undoubtedly the darkest side of the universe.
Where there is harm, there is protection. Just like the [Protection Regulations] that human civilization has already learned, although the human beings who have just advanced to the primary galactic civilization have not yet and do not know when they will be officially notified, there are indeed protection regulations for the primary cosmic civilization that have been contracted by a higher level of civilization.
What kind of forces are there and for what purpose are they protecting these weak cosmic civilizations?
Based on his limited understanding of the universe and his conversations with the scientific leaders of the Green Hill civilization, Yuan Haochen also came to some superficial inferences.
Just like human beings do for wild animals, it will be possible to protect the diversity and stability of the ecological environment. However, this probability is the lowest.
Yuan Haochen guessed that it must be those super-cosmic civilizations of the ancient era that have flown out of the galaxy, such as the creator civilization, that have signed this consensus. Perhaps, after they flew out of the galaxy and even arrived at the edge of the universe, they encountered resistance from the native civilizations of the edge world, and even broke out into war.
To speculate a little more daringly, perhaps two or more competing alliances will gradually form between outsiders and natives.
Even each large galaxy, such as the Milky Way, or a larger local group of galaxies (a local group of galaxies is a group of galaxies including the Milky Way in which the Earth is located. This group of galaxies contains about 50 galaxies, with their centers somewhere in the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy. All galaxies in the local group cover an area about 10 million light-years in diameter).
On this basis, in order to ensure that there will be a steady stream of afterlife forces in the future, fly out of the "galaxy", and eventually join the strong camp, these super civilizations that have taken the first step will definitely not allow a certain advanced civilization to do everything they can!
However, the above is pure speculation, without seeing it with your own eyes, everything is unknown.
