Chapter 445: The Grave of the Battleship
The test results of the small spacecraft are very satisfactory. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
During the test, it went deep into the place where the liquid and solid layers of the gaseous planet met without opening the shield, and dived for a whole day, during which the operation of the equipment inside was in a normal state.
According to the collected data, Xiao Wei calculated that this spacecraft can safely sail for three days in a place where solids and liquids alternate without opening the shield, but after three days, the energy shield must be opened.
The instruments on board the spacecraft are also running well, collecting environmental data from the outside of the spacecraft, and the anti-interference is very strong.
At the time of the spacecraft test, some related equipment had also been manufactured.
The current situation is that everything is in place, and it is only waiting for Li Yu's order. So Li Yu decided not to delay any more time, and immediately went to the interior of the gaseous planet to investigate, and the target was the place where the metal reading was abnormal.
The small spaceship, named Deep Sea by Lin Wanbai, broke away from the Space and quickly sailed towards the gaseous planet below.
"Li Yu, in fact, when Xiao Wei tests the spacecraft, he can also put the test site in a place where the metal element reading is abnormal, right?"
Sun Yixuan looked at the increasingly large gaseous planets, and suddenly remembered a question, so he asked Li Yu.
"For safety."
"In the process of testing the spacecraft, although we are very confident in our own technology, we still have to take all the unexpected into account."
"If the spacecraft suddenly explodes during the test, the consequences will not be ordinary, and it may destroy our research target."
"I believe you have enough awareness of the dangers of laboratory products!"
Li Yu is not wrong. Whether it is him or Xiao Wei, they have enough confidence in the products in the laboratory, but accidents are not something that can be avoided without confidence!
Therefore, the spacecraft test area chosen by Xiao Wei is far away from the area where the target is located.
"Got it!"
As he spoke, the Deep Sea had reached the edge of the atmosphere of the gaseous planet.
Outside the porthole, lightning in the atmosphere is already clearly visible, which is caused by the rapid flow of the atmosphere. And where lightning is frequent, diamond rain and even diamond seas can exist.
"Li Yu, is there such a possibility. Just at the top of the atmosphere of a gaseous planet, create an ecoregion for colonization? ”
Maggie looked at the scan data of the gas planet projected by Xiao Yui, and suddenly found that at the top of the atmosphere of the gas planet, there was a stratosphere of about 50 kilometers.
The atmosphere in the stratosphere is relatively stable, and the oxygen content is not low, so Maggie has such a question.
After carefully analyzing the data scanned by Xiao Wei, Li Yu found that Maggie's idea still has a basis for realization. The stratosphere is already the top of the atmosphere of a gaseous planet, and beyond that, there is the gas escape layer and the ionosphere.
If you build a suspended city in the 50-kilometer stratosphere, in fact, the difficulties encountered will not be too great.
"That's okay, there's nothing technically wrong with building a cloud city in the stratosphere. However, the cost of maintaining such a city is too great for an average civilization to afford. ”
"Unless it's for the extraction of a mineral, it's not worth the cost to establish colonies in the stratosphere."
Cloudsdale? Such a city, I feel yearning for it when I think about it, and after listening to Li Yu's words, the other people in the laboratory couldn't help but fall into their imagination.
Lin Wanbai also deliberately asked Xiao Wei to simulate a rendering of Cloudsdale, which is a top-like building with a blunt top and a sharp bottom, and its power source is the tip below, absorbing the energy of giant lightning.
Xiao Wei simulated the beautiful city pictures that came and went, which gave Lin Wanbai an urge to build a city immediately.
Fortunately, everyone had not yet remembered what this mission was, and after fantasizing for a while, they set their sights on the planet that was close in front of them.
Although the proportion of methane in the atmosphere of this gaseous planet is not large, it is quite large.
Methane under the action of strong lightning, high temperature and high pressure, first turns into carbon in the form of coal ash, and the coal ash solidifies into graphite in the process of sedimentation, and then under the action of high temperature and high pressure, it becomes a diamond, and the diamond declines due to its own weight, and when it reaches a certain depth, it will liquefy and form a diamond sea.
The first target of the Deep Sea was the location of the Diamond Sea detected by Xiao Wei.
Before coming to the sea of diamonds, everyone was still very much looking forward to the scene they were about to see, but when they came to their destination, Li Yu and they were disappointed.
Instead of brilliant diamonds, the sky is filled with translucent diamond grains of different shapes.
"That's disappointing, isn't it?"
"Huh! It's a normal phenomenon, Wanbai was the diamond mine you found from the asteroid belt, isn't it the same? If it's not polished, that's what a diamond looks like! ”
Li Yu was prepared for what was happening in front of him, didn't Lin Wanbai and Fang Qianmo just hold a mountain of diamond ore?
"Besides, I remember that you haven't been to Jupiter and seen the diamond rain, so you should have been mentally prepared for a long time, right?"
"Alas! I always thought that with the magic of the universe, there would definitely be miracles, but I didn't expect that miracles would be so difficult to happen! Lin Wanbai said with a melancholy expression.
Diamonds don't always form and fall from the sky, and after waiting for a while, everyone in the laboratory has no interest in diamond rain.
And the sea of diamonds under their feet is the best thing to divert their attention
To tell the truth, the sea of diamonds is more interesting than the rain of diamonds. Under extreme pressure, diamond rain accumulates, creating a liquid ocean of diamonds, which stratches with other liquids.
"What are you going to do with these diamonds?"
Liquid diamonds can be regarded as a good material, Li Yu has already come up with several different utilization schemes, and he wants to know what Fang Qianmo and the others are going to do with these.
In the diamond rain just now, they only collected some larger ones, and the liquid diamonds below are estimated to arouse their interest.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Yu's question was asked, he was shocked by Fang Qianmo's actions.
I saw that each of them was holding a mold of different shapes in their hands, waiting for the extraction equipment to deliver the diamond liquid.
"The purpose of the diamond sea is to allow us to make products, without the process of processing and polishing! And the products made with it, because it is one-piece, the shape will be more changeable and perfect! ”
Lin Wanbai's words represented the voices of the women present.
Oh, it's good if you're happy! Even if you drain all the diamond liquid from the entire planet, I have no opinion, Li Yu said secretly in his heart.
Soon, diamonds of various shapes filled the main control room of the small spaceship, and Li Yu almost had no place to stay.
"I said, can you put these things away and enjoy them slowly?"
"How can this work? We also have to exchange the experience of manufacturing molds, how much I don't feel when I put it away! ”
Lin Wanbai held a diamond long sword in his hand, and asked Li Yu's question without raising his head.
A day later, the women left the sea of diamonds with satisfaction, and went to the main target of this expedition, the place where the metal element data was abnormal.
Among their rings, there are more sparkling diamond products that make countless people scream when they see them.
The target area is not far, for a small ship, it is a matter of ten minutes.
"Huh!?"
This was Lin Wanbai's first reaction after seeing the abnormality of the metal element detection results.
Not only Lin Wanbai, but also Li Yu also had the same expression.
The so-called place where the metal element detection anomaly is a battleship graveyard composed of countless incomplete battleship wreckage, floating and sinking!
This is so surprising!
