589. Chapter 589: Europa
> "How's it going?" ”
Ma Tianyuan poured himself a cup of tea: "It's okay, two hundred soldiers have been sent over, they will be trained by the Great Western Kingdom, and they will become the main force in logistics support in the future." ”
Zhang Binhui continued to boil water: "Heh, it's good, they are all adaptable, right?" ”
Ma Tianyuan smiled: "These are elites, how can they embarrass us?" All of them are leveraged men, so you can rest assured.
Every 100 people form a team, which is rotated once every three years, and if these people come back from the army, they will be terrible in the future, and they are all pillars of the country. ”
Next to him, Yan Yeyang drank tea and sighed, his third job to hide his identity was not kept after all, he was fired by the boss, which made him very devastated.
Seeing that the prince's mood was not high, Zhang Binhui took the initiative to tease him to speak: "I said Lao Yan, don't worry too much, it's a place where everyone is not adapted, not to mention that you came all the way from Mars."
As the so-called orange is born in Huainan, it is orange, and born in Huaibei is orange, you are good. When your brother and I just graduated, basically no one wanted it, which is really not surprising. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Binhui twisted his body: "Let me tell you something, I plan to go over tomorrow, and our Galaxy Team is ready to carry out space patrols." ”
As soon as he heard this, Yan Yeyang immediately became energetic: "Really, General Zhang, are you ready to start acting?" ”
Zhang Binhui nodded: "This matter can't be delayed any longer, our patrol work will start with Jupiter."
Your First Fleet is also fully equipped, and I plan to launch a joint operation this time. ”
Yan Yeyang asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”
"Your Great Western Kingdom has sent a small expeditionary fleet to accompany our operations. The first goal is to establish a space patrol base on Europa.
We at the Galactic Team will help you with this mission, and then your space fleet will have its first Jupiter supply base. This is convenient for future solar system management and patrols. ”
……
In the Imperial City of the Great Western Kingdom, in the Supreme Command Post, Yan Chengjian and the senior leaders of the military gathered together, and in front of them was a large holographic map, which presented the situation of Jupiter observed by the Martians.
Yan Chengjian swiped his hands, and the map expanded, and the Jupiter pattern swelled to the size of a room, and the group was in the star rings outside Jupiter.
Yan Chengjian pulled again, and the three small moons in the corner of Jupiter in the distance turned around, they were Europa, Europa, and Europa.
"This is our goal, our fleet will have a space base on Europa.
General Zhang has drawn up this plan for us, so let's talk about our opinions. ”
Europa's data is transmitted to each person's hologram.
Europa, the sixth known moon of Jupiter and the fourth largest moon of Jupiter, is slightly smaller than the Earth's moon, the Moon, with a diameter of 3,100 kilometers, and is the sixth largest moon and the fifteenth largest celestial body in the solar system.
Europa has been observed to have an oxygen-containing rarefied atmosphere. Of the approximately 165 moons in the solar system, only six (Io, Callisto, Titan, Ganymede, Titan, and Triton) have been identified as having an atmosphere.
Unlike Earth's atmospheric oxygen, Europa's oxygen is not biologically formed. It is most likely caused by charged particles from sunlight striking Europa's icy surface, producing water vapor, which then splits into hydrogen and oxygen. When the hydrogen is detached, oxygen is left behind.
Europa and Europa are similar in composition to terrestrial planets: mostly composed of silicate rocks. But unlike Europa, Europa is covered with ice up to 100 kilometers thick.
Due to its presence of an internal energy source, it is believed that it may have a liquid water world deep under the ice. The surface of the object is very "smooth" and the number of impact craters is small, indicating that the geological structure of the planet is relatively active.
The data coming back from our launch suggests that Europa has an internal layered structure, and it may have a small metal core.
Photos of Europa's surface are similar to those of ice in Earth's oceans. This may be due to a layer of liquid water beneath the ice on Europa's surface, perhaps 50 kilometers deep.
It has the hope of remaining liquid due to the heat retention brought by the gravitational force. If the assumption is true, this will be the only place in the solar system where there is a large amount of liquid water other than Earth and Mars.
Europa's most striking appearance is the strings of cross stripes that can be found all over the world. The larger one spreads outwards into a zone of pale material, nearly 20 kilometers long. We believe that they are produced by a chain of volcanic ejections or fountains.
Data from our latest satellite launches: Europa's surface is fairly young, with very few craters visible, and some activity is clearly happening.
Some areas look a lot like the melting of ice in the oceans at the poles when spring arrives.
The exact nature of Europa's surface and interior is not yet clear, but there is definite evidence of a surface "ocean".
Each general looked very carefully, in fact, everyone had already planned in advance, but for the sake of prudence, there was no rush to speak.
About half an hour later, General Dunlop was the first to ask: "Your Highness, we all know that there is an asteroid belt between our Mars and Jupiter.
And it is precisely because of the existence of this asteroid belt that our Great Western Kingdom has not been able to expand outward, and it will be very difficult for our fleet to pass through there. ”
The generals present all nodded, their eyes looking a little worried.
The existence of the asteroid belt has indeed been a reason why the Martians have not been able to explore the outer reaches of the solar system.
With the question of General Dunlop raised, the relevant information of the asteroid belt appeared in front of everyone.
The asteroid belt is a dense area of asteroids within the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, 98. 5% of asteroids are found here.
Since this is the region with the highest concentration of asteroids, estimated to number as many as 500,000, this area is known as the main belt, commonly known as the asteroid belt.
The asteroid belt is at a distance of about 2 from the Sun. 17-3。 In the space area of 64 astronomical units, more than 500,000 asteroids are gathered here.
With so many asteroids being able to condense in the asteroid belt, Jupiter's gravitational pull plays a bigger role in addition to the Sun's gravitational pull.
According to research, the asteroid belt was formed by a group of stars (planetary predecessors smaller than planets) in the primordial solar nebula.
However, because of the gravitational influence of Jupiter, these stars are prevented from forming planets, causing many stars to collide with each other and form many debris and debris.
