"Tong ...... It's done! It's done! "The excited voices of the communications staff came from the radio of the remote control center at the edge of the year.

After more than a dozen hours of drilling, the ice in Europa was finally opened.

Chen Mengchuan and the others soon received the news and walked out of the conference room, with excitement and anticipation on everyone's faces.

"How's it going?" Chen Mengchuan walked to Zhang Dongyu's side and asked.

Zhang Dongyu quickly pulled the gravitational screen away and told everyone about the progress.

In the picture, a wide space appears, with an ice crust at the top, a hollow in the middle, and a semi-liquid ocean with a layer of water ice at the bottom. It's like the shattered ice at the Earth's poles floating on the surface of the sea.

"It's unbelievable that there really is an underground ocean."

"This structure must not be a stable structural state, what is the temperature of the hollow? What's in the semi-liquid ocean underneath? ”

"There must be a structure of Optimus Prime that connects to the underground ocean."

The crowd quickly exchanged words, and everyone was clearly excited about the discovery of the semi-liquid ocean, which confirmed many of the people's assumptions.

"The temperature is minus 102 degrees Celsius, and the content of each component in the air is very different from the ground, with the oxygen content of about 14%, the nitrogen content of about 83%, and the composition of other gases such as helium, argon, xenon, and neon accounting for about 3%. The height at which the ice shell reaches sea level is about 2,422.5 meters, and there are tides in the liquid ocean. The communications officer on the radio quickly reported the situation.

"I believe there must be life!" The crowd's voice was categorical.

Chen Mengchuan looked over, and the person who spoke was still talking excitedly.

On the big screen, the gravitational drilling rig has completely broken through the ice, and at this time it has broken away from the extraction pipeline, activated the anti-gravity flight system, suspended in the hollow environment, and quietly recorded the frost-covered underground world completely into the camera and transmitted back to the base.

"Let's look further." Chen Mengchuan said a word to Zhang Dongyu.

Zhang Dongyu nodded again and again. At this time, he was already too excited to add, and he couldn't wait to go to Europa immediately to go on a field trip.

Not long after, the camera equipment carried on the gravitational drilling rig suddenly went black, and the people in the hall were startled, and they all became in an uproar, not knowing what was going on.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mengchuan and Toni all opened their mouths, mosquito coils, and Zhang Dongyu.

Zhang Dongyu saw some of the above data on the gravitational platform, and said with a regretful face: "The video recording equipment of the gravitational drilling rig can only continue to work for a short period of time in a continuous low temperature environment, and there is no temperature supply device, and the cooling rate of the graphene battery is too fast. ”

Chen Mengchuan understood what he meant.

Graphene's temperature transfer is now the fastest among their technological equipment materials, which can heat instantaneously, but also dissipate heat instantly. After disconnecting from the extraction pipe, the heating unit was completely disconnected, and after the temperature quickly dissipated, it stopped working, which was also a thing that could not be helped.

"Ready, let's go down and have a look." Chen Mengchuan said to Toni.

Toni's eyes brightened, he nodded, and quickly took out the gravitational tablet device in his hand and operated on it a few times.

"I called someone to help, it shouldn't be a big problem." Toni said.

"Brother Toni, what are you going to do?" Zhang Dongyu couldn't help but ask him.

After a few people smiled, Toni replied to him, "Naturally, I put the multi-armed crab down and do further exploration." ”

"This cave passage is too small, I'm afraid the multi-armed crab can't go down." Zhang Dongyu said.

"No, we plan to directly calculate the spatial parameters, use the space shuttle to directly locate this underground world, and then open the source circle and directly teleport down." Chen Mengchuan said.

Zhang Dongyu's glasses lit up: "Good idea, but I forgot about this." ”

Chen Mengchuan nodded and talked to Toni and the others again.

It didn't take long for the people called by Toni to arrive at the scene, and they were a core group of people from the Space Shuttle team, all of whom were specifically responsible for calculating the space crossing parameters.

They all quickly entered the main control room, and the super artificial intelligence Ah Chen soon began to cooperate with them in calculations.

After more than ten minutes, when the hall was still very lively, Ah Chen completed the positioning of the space shuttle parameters.

However, he didn't start acting immediately, because he still had to wait for the return of the multi-armed crabs, and this time the exploration of the multi-armed crabs had already run far on Europa, and Ah Chen had already operated these multi-armed crabs to return as quickly as possible within a reasonable range.

In the short wait, Toni and the others were quite emotional, and Chen Mengchuan was also happy with them, comparing the discovery of such an environment where life may exist outside the earth, it is extremely rare, if it goes well, Europa's life adventure will give them a lot of valuable experience, which will be very helpful when exploring similar environments in other galaxies in the universe in the future.

There was a commotion in the main control room again, and the multi-armed crabs returned.

The team of the space travel department has already started to remotely control the space shuttle to confirm the final source point parameters and do the final proofreading to open the source point circle.

"Will there be life?" Toni glanced at Chen Mengchuan and asked him.

"Yes, if we don't find it on Europa, we will find it in other places in the future, the vastness of the universe, how can only the earth have the conditions for life to exist? You tell me? Chen Mengchuan replied to him.

Toni nodded: "You're right, you can always look at a lot of things calmly, you look at every face in the entire control center, excited, excited, excited, delighted, contemplative, so many expressions. Only your expression is calm. And this calmness of yours is not like the calmness of other people. Our calmness is all emotional calm on the surface, and the inner heart is really excited, nervous, and expectant, which is complex. And you are calm. ”

Chen Mengchuan was stunned, and then laughed: "Do you still have time to pay attention to my expression at this time?" ”

Toni nodded: "I don't always know that you are different from us, and I always understand and find out that you are different from us little by little, you look at everything, there is a kind of detachment and indifference, as if you know that everything will happen, everything should happen, you see too far too far." ”

"While our eyes are still on Europa, maybe your eyes are still on the Milky Way beyond the solar system, or even more distant space beyond the Milky Way."

"You're really different from us." Toni's tone was calm, but there was a lot of loss.

This sense of loss comes from a thin compartment between himself and Chen Mengchuan, which is very thin, but it seems that he will never be able to touch him.
