After waiting for a while, a topographic map slowly swiped out on the screen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Zhou Xin saw that half of the map is land and half of the ocean, and it seems that the probe has just reached the location of the coastline. Since it was half of the ocean that was brushed out first, Zhou Xin didn't see anything abnormal, but when the coastline was brushed out, revealing the half of the land, Zhou Xin smiled happily.

He pointed to a patch of green on the map and said, "Look, this green must have grown plants, it seems that there is no doubt that there is life on this planet." ”

Looking at the green on the screen, Spred smiled bitterly: "It seems that you are right, I now begin to regret why I didn't vote against it back then." ”

Zhou Xin patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, and Ralph, who was next to them, shouted happily, "Yay! It's a living planet, so you can go down and play. After saying that, she reacted, and she quickly changed her words, "Oh, I mean you can go down to investigate." ”

Looking at Spred, who was smiling bitterly next to him, Zhou Xin patted Ralph's head, "Don't worry, I don't know what the environment below is going to be, let's wait for the results of the robot's investigation first." ”

Seeing that Ralph nodded, Zhou Xin continued to say to Spred with a bitter face: "Don't be like this, who would have known that there was really life on this planet, you were just unlucky." Okay, let's move on to the footage from the detector. ”

Next, they returned to the screen, the probe had sent back more ground data, and in the topographic map sent back, Zhou Xin saw that this planet was somewhat similar to the earth, with mountains, rivers, plains, deserts, and so on. In addition, topographic maps show the presence of clouds over the planet, indicating that there is a complete water cycle on the planet.

"This planet is really similar to Earth." Looking at the new terrain constantly refreshing in front of him, Zhou Xin sighed, "The terrain that can be seen on the earth can also be seen here." With the emergence of new terrain, Zhou Xin muttered to himself, "Look, this is the Great Rift Valley." After a while, he said, "Well, the mountain system here is a bit like the Hengduan Mountains." ”

"This indicates that there is a plate structure on the planet and that these plates are still active, such as the folded terrain that just appeared on the screen, which is very likely to be formed by plate collision, and the Great Rift Valley that appeared earlier, which is very likely to be formed by plate separation," Voyager explained. ”

Looking at the terrain that appeared, Ralph felt a burst of surprise, "Eh, there is such a wide canyon, ah, the mountains can be arranged so neatly, it's so spectacular." Then she pointed to a round black cloud that had just appeared on the screen and exclaimed, "How can there be a black cloud?" How did this come about? ”

Zhou Xin saw the cloud, and he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

"It was a mushroom cloud from a volcanic eruption." The Voyager reminded.

Under the reminder of the Voyager, Zhou Xin finally remembered, "Oh, it's a volcanic eruption. It's the first time I've seen this kind of scene in space, and the big mushroom cloud means that the eruption is quite intense. Then, curiously, he asked Ralph, "Don't be so surprised, isn't it a volcanic eruption, why were you so surprised before, don't you have this kind of terrain on your planet?" ”

"Yes, yes." Ralph nodded vigorously, this is the first time I've seen this strange terrain.

Spred explained: "Although there is a plate structure on our planet, the movement between the plates is not intense, and at most some small mountains and rifts are formed, and I have seen such endless mountains for the first time. As for volcanic eruptions, what a strange geological phenomenon this is. He asked, confused.

"Voyager." Zhou Xin shouted helplessly, "Give them scientific knowledge." ”

The Voyager then gave the Thunderers a detailed explanation of how volcanoes were formed.

After listening to these principles, Spred suddenly realized, "So that's the case, there is no such violent eruption on our planet, only a small amount of magma slowly flows out of the crack, I didn't expect the magma eruption to be so violent." ”

"If you get it, let's go back and look at the picture." While the Voyager was educating them about science, the probe sent back a lot of topographic pictures, and on these new maps, Zhou Xin found that the vegetation coverage of the planet was not low, and at least half of the maps sent back were green.

"There are so many plants on this planet." Zhou Xin sighed, "Such a planet should evolve into animals." He guessed.

"There's a big possibility." Voyager replied.

"Has the probe sent to the planet's surface arrived?" Zhou Xin asked, he was slightly excited, "I can't wait to see what the surface of the planet looks like." ”

"Please wait a moment, those probes are still in the process of landing."

Zhou Xin had no choice but to patiently continue to watch the scene sent back by the synchronous satellite, and at this time, the scene sent back also began to change slightly.

The area occupied by the green on the ground began to decrease, and Zhou Xin had not noticed it at first, but when there were scattered white spots on the map. Zhou Xin found that less than half of the colors representing plants on the map were already in place, and as the camera continued to advance, white occupied more and more area, and green occupied less and less, and in the end, the map was completely occupied by white.

"It's the Polar Regions, right?" Spred asked from the side.

The Voyager gave the same answer.

Zhou Xin looked at the white scene and didn't say anything. But the next picture caught his attention.

"What is this?" He asked, pointing to the dense black dots on the picture.

Voyager paused, "The resolution is not enough to give a specific conclusion, and it is initially suspected to be a polar creature." ”

"Creatures? Is it alive? Ralph asked without thinking.

"......" Zhou Xin held his forehead speechlessly, "Of course the creature is alive, what is your problem." ”

Ralph also noticed the language problem in her words, and she blushed and explained, "I mean animals."

"There is not enough information to judge." The Voyager gave a vague answer.

"Then it could be." Ralph was thrilled.

"I think it's better for you not to get so excited." Zhou Xin said calmly, "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, which I have already experienced on your planet." ”

"Okay." Ralph calmed down slightly, but she was still muttering to herself, "I think it's animals, otherwise how could a group of strange things suddenly appear in a place where there is nothing, how can a plant grow like this." ”

Zhou Xin ignored Ralph's self-talk, as Voyager had just reported to him that the first probe had reached the planet's surface.

Zhou Xin couldn't wait to ask the Voyager to release the image of the ground probe, so the screen turned, the topographic map disappeared, and a forest appeared on the screen instead.

It was a forest that was not common on earth, each tree grew very luxuriantly, the trunk of the tree needed about two people to surround it, the height was more than forty or fifty meters, the dense woods basically blocked the light that came down, and the probe had to turn on its own lighting equipment to see the surrounding environment. The camera switches to the ground, and Zhou Xin sees that even in the dim light, the ground is covered with countless unrecognizable plants, which are very low, and some even grow directly on the ground or tree trunks like moss on the earth.

"Did you land in the forest?" Zhou Xin said to himself, "The environment here is a bit similar to the Amazon rainforest." Yes, yes, the first prize was drawn to the rainforest, which is the most prone to animals. ”

"Wow! These trees are growing so tall. Ralph said in surprise. It's the first time I've seen a tree this tall. ”

"It's not very common for us to have such a lush woods." Zhou Xin answered, and then he ordered the detection robot, "Take a look around and look around." ”

The screen begins to move, but no matter which direction the robot moves, all that appears on the screen are large trees that are growing luxuriantly.

Seeing that nothing new appeared on the screen for the time being, Zhou Xin let the probe move on its own, and asked casually to the Voyager, "Can you identify what kind of plants these are?" Although he didn't have any hope in his heart that the Voyager would answer.

Surprisingly, the Voyager actually gave the answer, "Most of the tree species are pine and cypress plants, but these pine and cypress plants are slightly different from the current pine and cypress on the earth, and according to the appearance, it should be a Cretaceous pine and cypress." Above-ground ferns are also similar to those found in the Cretaceous period on Earth, but there are still some plant species that are completely different from those on Earth, and actual samples need to be obtained for further analysis. ”

This unexpected answer surprised Zhou Xin, and he hurriedly asked, "Cretaceous? It can't be such a coincidence, right, maybe it's just a little bit like it? ”

"The similarity rate of pines and cypresses is more than 98%, and the similarity rate of ferns is also more than 90%." The Voyager gave a more accurate answer.

Zhou Xin frowned, "The similarity rate is so high? Is it really such a coincidence? Do you think that if you let the two planets develop naturally, you will create such a similar environment? ”

"The probability is extremely low." The Voyager replied, "But there are only two planetary samples to compare with this ship, and it is impossible to draw accurate conclusions. And the investigation of this planet is not yet complete, maybe there is only one piece of the planet, and this ship needs to wait for more information from the probe. ”

"Well, how long will it take." Zhou Xin asked.

"The surface environment of the planet is complex, which affects the movement of surface probes, and it will take a lot of time to complete the exploration." The Voyager also did not give a definite answer.

"Well, give the results as soon as possible." Zhou Xin said casually.

"Understood." The Voyager replied, and then it reported a new message, "Your Excellency, the orbiting satellite has completed the preliminary survey of the planet, do you need to read the report first?" ”

"Oh? That's pretty fast. Zhou Xin was slightly surprised, "Okay, let's see." ”

As soon as Zhou Xin's voice fell, the picture on the screen that had just appeared disappeared, and what reappeared on the screen was a slowly rotating planet model, which was the panorama of this unknown planet. Next to the panorama there are rows of data, several of which are special and have special markers.

Zhou Xin and the others looked at the big screen, and the Voyager began to introduce the specific situation of this planet next to them:

"This unknown planet has a diameter of about 11,000 kilometers, an rotation period of about 28 hours, and a yellow-red angle of about 13°. Infrared analysis shows that the planet's surface temperature is as high as 75°C and as low as -55°C, with an average surface temperature of 33°C, which is warmer than the Earth overall. The acceleration due to gravity is about the same as that of Earth, so the average density of the planet is slightly greater than that of Earth. The planet is surrounded by a relatively strong magnetic field, about 1.1 times the strength of the Earth's magnetic field, and a large iron-nickel core is suspected. At the same time, the surface of the planet is covered with an atmosphere similar to the thickness of the Earth's atmosphere, which has an active climate and can detect a large amount of cloud activity. The land area of this planet is about 25% of the surface area of the planet, and the rest is the ocean, and the geological activity on the surface of the planet is intense, and satellites have just detected 3 volcanic activities and 4 seismic activities on the surface of the planet. ”

"It's a very vibrant planet." Ralph said beside him.

Zhou Xin looked at the screen and nodded, "This planet is really similar to the Earth as a whole." Voyager, any other information? ”

"There's also an atmospheric analysis report from the first surface probe." Voyager replied, "The pressure on this planet is about the same as that of Earth, and its main components are: 79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, 0.2% carbon dioxide, the remainder is inert gas, and there are small amounts of water vapor and dust. ”

Hearing the atmospheric data, Zhou Xin frowned slightly, "This is similar to the composition of the earth's atmosphere." ”

"It's pretty much the same." Voyager added, "Except for the fact that the carbon dioxide content is much higher than that of Earth, the other gases are about the same as those on Earth. ”

"Carbon dioxide?" Zhou Xin asked, "I remember that the earth's atmosphere has about this amount of carbon dioxide." ”

"No, the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere is only 0.02 percent." Voyager replied, "The greenhouse effect caused by excessive carbon dioxide levels is also one of the reasons why the planet is warmer than the Earth. ”

Zhou Xin nodded to understand, and he motioned for the Voyager to continue.

"There is only so much information about this planet for the time being, and more information needs to be further analyzed and investigated by the detection robot. However, the previously launched probe has sent back an investigation report on this star system, would you like to take a look? ……”
