Chapter Ninety-Nine: Exploration (II)
For the last five planets, there are huge expectations. No matter how bad it is, there should be one that is barely suitable for human survival. As long as it is within the tolerance of the human body, then, no matter how bad the environment is, at least it gives people hope, doesn't it?
But this anticipation suffered a heavy blow again after more than ten hours, and the news from the reconnaissance ship that explored the five-star was even more disappointing to everyone, and the five-star was purely an iron planet, most of which was composed of iron elements, and there was almost no water and atmosphere, let alone signs of life. For a while, the entire central control room was silent, and everyone was in a state of extreme worry.
Hey, the interstellar voyage of mankind is really a tribulation!
For the next twenty hours, people spent the next twenty hours in extreme psychological torment, although the chances were getting slimmer and slimmer, but there was always a chance. Until the last moment, everyone is not willing to leave in despair.
Perhaps because of the speed of orbit, although the distance between the three and four stars and the fleet is nearly 50 million kilometers, the ships in charge of the two planets sent back the news of the exploration almost at the same time. The situation did not improve in the slightest because of the worries of the people, and it seemed that because the previous millennial voyage had exhausted all the luck of the fleet, and the two planets also lacked the necessary conditions for human survival.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the central control room was so solemn that it was almost dripping, and hope was gradually turning into despair. As the supreme commander of the fleet, although Lin Feng was also disappointed, he couldn't express this emotion. Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Feng said with a smile: "What's wrong with everyone?" Lost confidence so quickly? Not to mention that there are still two planets being explored, and even if there is no one for us to gain a foothold, should we just give up and go home? No, we must not admit defeat! To be clear, we are here to take risks, to pioneer, not to sit back and enjoy what we do. Even if there is no habitable planet in this star field, we will forcibly land and use our own power to transform one of them into our new home! ”
Lin Feng's words were loud and sound, and he looked very confident. After listening to his explanation, gradually, people also got rid of their frustration. Yes, we are here to pioneer the wilderness, and the pioneers must have the consciousness of the pioneers, and we can't just look at the heavens to give us a piece of feng shui treasure. Yes, of course, is a blessing; No, then we still have a pair of hands, as well as the resources reserved in the starship, and more than six million compatriots to rely on, and at the same time, we also have a brave heart that never admits defeat and beats vigorously!
"Well said!" Suddenly, someone shouted, and slapped him hard. Soon, warm applause resounded throughout the central control room.
While there was thunderous applause in the central control room of the Wanhu, there was also applause in the landing ship responsible for probing the five-star bomb.
After nearly a day of sailing, they finally arrived at Biwuxing, and based on the rough data of the preliminary exploration, they soon entered the synchronous orbit of Biwuxing and began to explore it in detail.
Just like the psychology of the high-ranking personnel of the fleet, the crew of the landing ship is also worried, through data sharing, they already know the results of the exploration of the previous planets, if the two stars are like them, it will be a great blow to people's morale.
However, this concern soon faded into obscurity. Looking at the data displayed on the monitor, a smile finally appeared on people's faces. Although the condition of this planet is quite bad compared to Earth, it is already good news for the fleet.
I saw that the monitor showed:
Than two stars:
Volume: 1.5 times the size of the Earth;
Gravity: fifty-two times that of the Earth;
Atmosphere: The thickness of the atmosphere is 160 kilometers, and the composition is slightly different from that of the earth, but it contains most of the components of the earth's atmosphere, and the concentration is 16 times that of the earth's atmosphere, and the meteorological conditions in the atmosphere are complex and changeable;
Water: Includes many forms of water. Due to the influence of atmospheric pressure, the temperature of liquid water near the equator is high, reaching about 200 degrees Celsius; There are a large number of glaciers at the poles, estimated at twenty kilometers thick; The atmosphere is rich in vaporous water.
Resources: Rich in a variety of minerals that exist on Earth, some of which cannot be analyzed, and should be endemic to the planet. Organisms: The surface of the planet is densely vegetated, and a biosphere has formed, and higher organisms are expected to exist.
"Since there is a living thing, it should be suitable for human existence." Lieutenant Commander said in an affirmative tone, "Although its gravity and atmospheric pressure are much higher than those of the Earth, our training over the years has not been in vain, and the vast majority of the fleet should be able to adapt." Send the message back immediately and let the fleet commander decide! ”
"Yes!" The crew of the ship with such a major discovery was also very excited, and the movements became very neat.
When this important information reached Lin Feng and the others, they had already obtained a detailed report on the situation of the first star, because it was closer to the three stars, and the condition of the first star was also very unsatisfactory, the high temperature was certainly a factor, and more importantly, because the mass of this planet was small, the gravitational force was not enough to attract the atmosphere and water, causing it to keep escaping, and the entire surface of the planet was completely deserted. Originally, Lin Feng planned that if the environmental conditions of the second star were worse, he would use the first star as the target for landing, because compared to the other planets that had been excluded, the overall situation of the first star was still better.
Lin Feng looked at the message sent by Bi Erxing, and no matter how calm he was, his hands trembled all of a sudden. It's really the road to the sky. I thought that in this vast Proxima Centauri region, there would never be a habitable planet suitable for human habitation, but I didn't expect that when everyone was desperate, they got such a great news.
Seeing that Commander Lin, who had always been steady, was so excited that his hands were shaking, everyone quickly realized that things might have taken a major turn for the better. So they rushed to Lin Feng one after another.
"Fengzi, tell me quickly, are there any major discoveries?" Helen was in public, and she didn't notice that she actually called the dignified Commander Lin like that.
"Yes, tell me quickly, is there any good news!" Everyone also asked anxiously.
"There is good news, and the best news our fleet has ever received! The exploration ship that went to Bibi sent a message saying that this is a more suitable planet for us to land, and that a complete biosphere has formed on the planet. In other words, this is a living planet! Lin Feng's voice became high-spirited because of excitement.
"Really? That's great. The central control room erupted in thunderous cheers. People have been waiting for this news for too long, too long. Thousands of years of waiting, thousands of years of struggle, thousands of years of struggle!
"Grandpa, did you hear that? The goal you've been fighting for all your life is almost there! Helen, hearing the news, rushed to Bruce and whispered in his ear.
"Hehe, silly girl, I can hear you. I thought that I would eventually die on the starship, but I didn't expect to be able to set foot on a real planet! Or is your generation promising! "Bruce, who has been strong all his life, is already in tears at this time!
"Old Captain, you have worked hard and dedicated your life to our voyage cause! It's up to you to name the first planet of extrasolar life discovered by humans! Lin Feng looked at Bruce with great emotion, dedicating such a huge honor to this venerable old man.
"I've heard that there is a place on earth called Aden, which is the most well-preserved pristine area from the industrial era. I hope that we can also pay equal attention to the construction and protection of this planet, and we must not follow the old path of the Earth Age. Let's call it Aden. It also has the significance of commemorating the ancestors of the Atlantis. Bruce pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Aden...... Aden Star ...... "Everyone savored it.
"Good name! The meaning is rich, and it is catchy and harmonious. That's it. Lin Feng didn't wait for others to express their opinions, and made a final decision.
"Now, the fleet will set sail immediately, target: Aden!"
